Hello everyone and welcome! I am so happy to be the new organizer for the "Fun Spiritual Singles" group in San Jose.  Helene, the previous organizer (who is also my dear friend, counselor, and teacher) has stepped down and has asked me to carry the torch for this group.  I am honored (and excited) to take this on!

Dowsing is an ancient art practiced throughout the world. A dowser communicates with the Universe through the use of mind, body and tools.

Dowsing is intuition in motion. A dowser’s practice ultimately requires one to connect to the subconscious; this fosters a deep quest for knowledge and the insight to understand the answers t …

Our group is temporarily closed to new members. After years of watching, loving, and longing for the friendships seen in Sex and the City I have decided to seek it out.

Our group has been together for more than two years, and more than 100 Meetups! Members: This Meetup is for women, only.  I occasionally receive requests from men, and feel bad when declining t …

When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life. Jean Shinoda Bolen Fresh Intuition Women's Circle was inspired by the book The Millionth Circle by Jean Shinoda Bolen.  I actually started this Meetup in May of 2011 as Set In Motion - an intuitive life coaching group.  In the past 18 months, it has evolved for me into a place and space where (sorry guys) I will host a women's gathering or circle to explo …

I want to start a small group of women between the ages of 35 and 45. We all have busy lives and time gets away from us. Things happen to us personally whether it is dealing with our own sickness, kids, marriage, in laws, parents getting older, friends passing away, so many things happen as we get older. There are times when we lose pieces of ourselves along the way. Sometimes we have those "Aha!" moments but don't quite know how to put it all in place. I think with each new pending decade and p …
