This group is for persons serious about contemporary poetry and literature or interested in becoming more aware of contemporary writing. Meetings will not just be inside, but bars and coffee houses are good locations. In good weather activities can be combined with nature walks, hikes, and trips to museums for poetic inspiration.

Exploring Natural Healing is a group focused on discussions and hands on education around the use of natural medicine and nutrition to heal illness, disease and physical/emotional/spiritual imbalances. The group's founder is an Herbalist and Natural Health Practitioner who wishes to explore a wide range of topics with others interested in natural health. Meetups will consist of talks, herb walks, herbal tea samplings, healthy cooking classes and much more.

We walk and hike at a moderate pace of about a mile per 30 minutes in suburban Philly parks and main street towns. We will accommodate beginning walkers and hikers. No one will be left behind from the group as we hike/walk. If there is any nature item that is of interest we will stop to look. There is a $10 per calendar year fee or $2 fee per person including any guests you may bring to each walk to cover meetup website costs.  After five hikes, you are done paying for the calendar year and can …

Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike. And, we …

… With this meet-up, I would like to set up a variety of social functions--coffee, dinner and drinks, concerts, museum visits, nature walks, etc.--to allow us to make friendships, discuss issues, share our passions, and encourage each other in all of the impossible dreams we pursue.
