As a transplant from Seattle, I've been missing my poetry workshop mates and I haven't discovered a group on here or in this city that quite fits. I'd like to have a place that provides opportunity for serious workshopping of poetry, as well as helps fellow poets write new poetry and have a safe place to share their poetry and experiment. How this workshop would run: Groups shouldn't exceed 5 people, so if there were more folks then we would split into smaller groups. Everyone, if they so choose …

In early 2010, my wife Sharon and I started A Partnership Of Diabetics (A-POD) in the Phillips Community of south Minneapolis—considered the most culturally-diverse, economically-challenged in Minnesota. If we can make our program work here, we thought, it just might work anywhere! We began without a cent of grant money using just our Social Security and pension funds. The Center for Changing Lives of Lutheran Social Services initially provided us with a meeting space. Advertising through Meet-u …

This is a group for people who refer to themselves (or have been referred to by others) as Geeks. …or Nerds. …or Hippies. …or Freaks. …or Dweebs. …or Dorks. …or any other miscellaneously mis-fitting, socially non-conforming term that can't be classified as being considered "mainstream" (as if anyone really knows what THAT is), and probably isn't nearly as derogatory today as it was a few decades back, because, these days, we're taking over the WORLD, man! 'Cause we RULE now! (Safety in n …

On January 9, 2006, The Weekly Dinner was started with a simple concept of bringing people together to enjoy great food in the Twin Cities area. Since then, there have been many events scheduled, friendships formed and a lot of great memories. On September 1, 2012, the name was switched to Minnesota Foodies (http://www.MinnesotaFoodies.com). The mission of the group continues to focus around enjoying great food and building friendships along the way, but not just one weekly dinner. We have brunc …

Yes, really, here's another book club. Do I have a fantastic uniquely creative concept to draw you in? Well, I like to think I am moderately creative, but basically I just want a group to read books we all select, get together for a glass of something and a few (hopefully decadent) snacks and seriously talk about the book we have read. I have been in other book clubs and they did not work out for me because of location, meeting day or time, or because they just fell apart. I hope to structur …

Metaphor is always with us in: what we read and write; what we see in media, film, T.V. and photography; in all forms of the arts, including the art of telling our stories from poetry to cultural fables to personal story, but it is also embedded in psychology and education. Metaphors are powerful and enrich our lives, but they also can have destructive impacts or sell us down the garden path making us think we need things that we don't.
