We are a Chinese EB-5 Investor Awareness group. Our purpose is to help Chinese investors and realtors learn the TRUTH about the EB-5 program that the U.S. government has been strongly encouraging since the 2008 financial crisis to create more jobs and investments in the United States. Our job is to educate people about the program and distinguish the good projects from the bad ones because there are too many investors who just lost their money in projects that are on the market. Furthermore, we …

The Bay Area Open Sangha exists to allow people to practice and study the Buddhadharma, the teachings of the Buddha, without concern for sectarianism or the historical lines between traditions of Buddhism. This is not to say that these lines are ignored and traditions are mixed without reflection or regard to their conflicts. The Buddha taught many ways to practice the Dharma and his teachings have come down over two and half thousand years to this day. Many of the differences in doctrine and pr …

In this group we will come together to write true stories from our lives.  In our writing we will hold the intention of connecting the external events playing out in the stories we tell with our internal experience. Our aim is to unearth our interior selves and to realize we are not alone in our joys and our struggles. Each meeting will be structured with multiple timed writing sessions followed by a period to share what we have written and receive feedback if we wish. The group will take place …

With our activities, you're welcome to come alone or with a date.  And if you need a date, visit HowAboutADate.com.  (1) post a date - what, when, & where,  (2) review replies, (3 …

We are passionate about tango and both of us have other professions but tango is central to our lives.

Do you like basketball, but can't seem to find a semi-regular pick-up game in Oakland? Would you describe your bball skills, at best, as decent to slightly better than average? Did you play basketball for your high school? Are you in your late 20's or 30's and have seemingly lost a quick first step? Do you enjoy a competitive game, but more than anything, just want to play some solid basketball with a good group of guys and to get in some exercise? Let's make it fun, competitive, fairly regular …

This group is intended to be an open network of mostly experienced backpackers, of the boomer age (you can use your own definition, but 45 to 60 plus or minus is my concept).  Generally trips should be moderately paced, 6 to 8 miles a day, up to 1500 feet of gain. Everyone in the group is welcome to organize a trip, and the settings for the group allow anyone to do that.  So, if you have a trailhead reservation and want some companions, feel free to post a trip. A few suggested groundrules.  Fir …

We are writers  seriously dedicated to the process and content of our writing.

As your organizer, I have many years in the publishing industry ( …

If not interested exclusively in classic lit, if not willing to stick to selections from the lists below, there will not be a match with this group.  The good news is tha …

Maum Meditation uses a logical and unique method to subtract the human mind which is an accumulation of pictures from the past. The human mind is always changing and is always trying to add more desirable experiences and conditions. There is no end to this addition, so it is a stressful and busy mind. The way to find peace and clarity is to know the original mind, the universe mind, by consciously taking the time to subtract the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind. N …

Gentlemen, I'm pretty sure you're here because you realize that meeting amazing, intelligent, and drop dead gorgeous women takes work. Guess what, you're right, but have faith, because what if I told you that you could meet with like minded individuals and learn what it takes to be successful. The best part is you don't have to be sleezy, dishonest, and wear weird outfits in order to do it. You're able to learn how to be gentlemen (an art that is lost), and how to be irresistible "Gentlemen Play …

May I nominate someone to be the new ORGANIZER of this meetup group? Is there someone interested? If there is nobody to take over when I step down, the mailing list of interested Bay Area people in the group will be lost. That would be a shame. There are so many options for Frugal Living, yet at this time, I only have time to work on developing Clothing Swaps and that money-saving concept. I'd like someone else to be able to offer Frugal Living tips, discussions and events as all I an offe …

How many of the following have you noticed? - Some persistent difficulties in life cannot be explained by one's personal history. - Some people "replay" their parent's lives, especially in the type of painful limitations they experience. - Some families seem to have way too many tragedies. - There are emotional patterns that can't be healed with one-on-one therapy. - There are dimensions of the soul that most spiritual approaches cannot touch or account for. Constellation work reaches into the …

Azaya Ranch Sanctuary is a non-profit animal rescue and sanctuary in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. What started out over twenty years ago as one woman’s passion, has now grown into a full-fledged rescue and sanctuary that exists to save animals from euthanasia and find them loving, forever homes. Our animals come from shelters from all over California, including Bakersfield, Lake County, Ukiah, and, of course, San Francisco. Many of the animals we rescue have been abused, neglected, an …
