Are you a freelance or work-at-home writer, graphic artist, programmer, marketer, etc.? Do you sometimes miss the company and camaraderie of co-workers? The purpose of this group is to schedule a weekly time when we move ourselves and our laptops from our lonely home offices to an agreed-upon public place. We might share ideas, pointers, job leads, or just work in companionable silence. We may also schedule an occasional evening networking get-together.

In these times of great change and transformation there is a deep calling from within that urges us to step more fully into our role in service to one another and a planet in need. The form of our service varies, but the premise remains the same- as we create and embrace true healing and peace from within, so too can we emanate and share this with others. In this meetup group we will explore a range of topics in energy healing, conscious manifestation, leadership and empowerment, mind-body medic …
