Do you want to get fit but feel daunted by the prospect of a long, sweaty, painful, drawn out jog in the park with no one to talk to? No pain no gain they say but does keeping fit really have to mean punishment? Here at Walking For Fitness the answer is no and everyone is welcome to join us! This Meetup is inspired by a week long walking holiday I took two years ago in Switzerland by the end of which time I realised a walk is actually as good as a run! That and the fact I've never been very good …

Hello! My name is Juliette Jeanclaude. I decided to start this group because I'm an artist passionate about self-development. I'm actively creative as a painter but my confidence is not everyday as strong as I'd like. I used to be shy and I couldn't lead any work without the approval of my parents or my teachers. So I started a lot of artistic projects but as soon as I heard a voice saying "it"s not good enough" (either in my head or from my teachers) I stopped. Have you ever experienced that "n …

… Being a survivor is simply having the ability to bounce back from all those painful scenarios that life throws at us, which is pretty awesome in itself. In fact Sylvester Stallone said "It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit, and get back up again" apparently, thats how winning is done. That might be fine in the ring, but it really sucks in relationship. What's even more depressing is that our "hits" are like patterns. Created by our own life experience, learnings, peers, belief …

… This group hopefully will bring us altogether so we can talk about it and eventually let go of the pain to heal quicker and become stronger! You are not alone in your pain as I am going through a break up myself and sometimes you need to have break up buddy's, people who has been there or is there and who understand and will listen. We need the strength and courage to get to the finish line of the healing process. So let's support each other! I know it is tough but we WILL feel a lot better if w …

The Love and Light Circle is a group of people who meditate together. Meditation on our own is in the beginning often very difficult. The energy in a group is higher, so that meditation becomes easier for us. When we are on our spiritual path, than very often things happen we do not understand. It can happen that fear, pain and anquish comes up and we do not know how to handle it. The Silence is our Teacher The silence shows you your inner self, your beauty, your love, your uniqness. Listen to y …

A group for people with (or even without!) Crohns and Colitis to meet up and have fun!

… The following day my anxiety went back to normal, but then I started accepting every emotion that each panic attack produced and within a month I had improved so much that I was off my tablets.A few months after that, I started doing things that I wasn’t really able to do before started ACT e.g. driving the car, going to shops." T         My Mindfulness and Coaching training/experience: I have been meditating for over twenty five years. I started my meditation journey when I was eighteen at …

A group for London-based Technical Leaders to meet and discuss new technologies and share experiences of technology deployments in their organisations.

Hear the reality behind technology hype and share experiences with other people in similar roles to yours. This group is open to CTOs, CIOs, Chief Architects, Technical Directors, …

… You could say it's something you do on your own, but there might be some things that you would like to share, the pain and the pleasure perhaps. It works something like this. You get a stirring inside that says something like, 'I want to pay my respects to something or someone, feel alive, overcome all obstacles in my path, connect with spirit, the natural world, achieve something really worthwhile, life long ambition.' To follow much of what Joseph Campbell wrote when he described the hero's jo …

… I mean, I respect that, welcome to the club, I know the pain and the name of the group did come out of anger and depression. But as much as being JUST fun and positive etc is a stupid, idiotic, disgusting creed, negating the fact that we also want to enjoy life is also negating a part of ourselves. I read recently a doctor saying that depression may as well actually be caused by a deep liking of life, I agree with that. The fact is, when I go out I do not want to BE fun or whatever, I just want …

… Even in the most difficult and painful times we can find a way to turn towards the light. My love affair with yoga started only a few years ago and looking back at this time I can see this massive progress and transformation in my life and that is one of the reasons I want to teach YOGA to share that incredible experience with others.I want all of my students to leave my class feeling better about himself , empowered by the revelation of his Divine nature. Its also about CONNECTION with other pe …

… Even in the most difficult and painful times we can find a way to turn towards the light.   Its also about CONNECTION with other people and with yourself. Yoga gives you a chance to connect with very essence of your being . Who you really are? Ultimately, we become our own best Soul friend, learn to love ourselves and love each other. This is the highest teaching. Many people in our society go after jobs for the money rather than following what they know in their heart what they are naturally go …
