We are constantly striving for one thing or another (more pay, better job, better quality food, an awesome parking spot, etc). Most of the time, we just need a moment to be.

Are you a working mom? Are you new to the bay area or perhaps looking to expand your social circle to include other working mamas? Then hopefully this is the group for you!

Activities will include evening, weekend, indoor …

Hey Bay Area Singles! I started this group to get people who were "online" dating - "offline" long enough to mingle at a mixer together. After online dating myself, I was primarily motivated by the e-mails I would see each week that did a poor job of representing most of the men I would meet. This is why I created "Profile Parties." Parties where singles can get their online dating profiles boosted for a better success rate when they date. I hope you will join us at an upcoming event!

… Constellation work reaches into these otherwise hard-to-reach areas of the human experience and disentangles the client from the cause of the pain. Clients and participants alike experience a greater sense of freedom and peace after a constellation, as well as a sense of awe and wonder for the power and accuracy of the work. The results can be dramatic and life-changing, ranging from greater understanding of yourself and your family, all the way to bringing seemingly "lost" people back from the …

What is a philosovert you ask ? It's a person who on one hand lives on the more introverted side but on the other still loves to discuss all kinds of topics with other folks. I have found that introverts more often than not have strong opinions about stuff but don't necessarily share them because they feel overwhelmed by "extrovies". I personally have a hard time discussing boring things like sports or cars since I simply cannot contribute anything. Yes, I'm that guy who brings up that one topic …
