On a practical level, this Portland social group is for lesbian/queer and queer-friendly women who have vitality and a strong sense of self. I say "practical" because I realize that most people use meetup casually, to meet others and find things to do from time to time. But ideally, I'd like to manifest a village of warriors. To me, a true warrior of modern times is a strong woman who has a healthy relationship with power. She speaks her truth, walks her own path, lives by principle instead of c …

My name is Shelly, welcome to my group page! I took my first cake decorating class at the community center when I was 17 years old, and my mom bought me six tips and a little spatula. I kept that little kit for a few years, and then I discovered a supply shop, and made a cake with pink elephants for my husband's 21st birthday. I was hooked! From that early experience, I took other classes, practiced and learned from other decorators, and proceeded to master my craft. I went on to do special occa …

I designed this group for the purpose of understanding how to connect with the cosmic mind.

The process is a combination of remote viewing/astral travel with a shamanic undertone. We are all placed on this planet …

Were you once a church goer but turned off by the disconnect between the message and the spirit, intent, and will of the leadership and the organization as a whole? Have you ever wondered how a religion that's built around a “Prince of Peace” can be hostile, hateful, hurtful, selfish, and negligent? We all know no one can “be perfect” but have you ever asked what this means for one who seeks God? Does the impossibility of perfection excuse a lack of earnest, sincere effort to grow, do, and be go …
