The Liminal Art Salon meetup group is a forum for incubating authentic expression. Its purpose is to guide, stimulate and inspire artists and seekers to renew the spirit and power of true, authentic creative expression. Liminal literally means "threshold". To create from a liminal state is to cross the threshold between everyday reality and the invisible realms of supra rational consciousness. We aim to generate, brainstorm and cultivate ideas, imaginings, creations, events and collaborations. O …

Writing offers a way for people to connect to deeper, wiser aspects of ourselves – a way for us to find out, as the poet Audre Lorde said, “what we didn’t know we knew.” Almost every writer has experienced mysterious moments when the words that flow from our pens, or from our fingers on a keyboard, seem as if they come from someplace else – a place beyond our small human selves. Sometimes, when we let it happen, it’s as if the words become a little boat, a raft on which we can sail in a larger s …

Have you wondered what all the fuss is about detox? Juices? Cleanses? Detox? Herbs? There's a reason why this is so popular and it's just not for health reasons. Detoxification is the back door to knowing yourself - the unfolding of one's spiritual path. This is a broad discussion on many elements of detoxifying addictions, clutter, food, etc - all the elements that distract us from unfolding our true purpose. This meetup is primarily for those who want to understand how the physical body works, …

No matter where we are in life, there is always more to learn. While it is easy to find continuing education classes that can help you learn a foreign language or a new hobby, there is little to no support available for those who are interested in moving beyond the realm of learning new skills and into the adventure of learning how to live life to its fullest. With that in mind, the Center of Light will begin offering a new series of lectures called the Light Lecture Series. These classes are de …

Shamanic journeying is amazingly simple to learn and do, yet it’s a practice with the potential to bring great healing, depth, wisdom and clarity to your life. If you’re at a transition point in your life, needing to make a next step forward and not sure how… or if you're looking to heal old wounds (or problematic patterns, habits, compulsions, addictions) that you've worked on before, but that just haven't gone away... or, if you have ever felt like there is "part of you missing," or like you'v …

We are fun, confident and single, and we're ready to get out there and mingle! The ladies have substance and the men like them that way. The ladies of substance are successful, good-looking,  sexy, mature women (usually over 40) who usually look and act a lot younger than their drivers license would indicate. The men are smart, good-looking, energetic and sexy and they prefer ladies of substance who can hold a conversation and know what they like and what they want. We are all looking to connect …

This group was born out of a desire to bring determined and deliberate peace to the city of Oakland and surrounding East Bay area. As a priest on a mystical path, our one mission is inner peace ~ that is a process and it is a conscious one that requires attitude and behavior change, both internal and external. So I wanted to create a way for people to come together, connect and walk with one held and important intention; lighting the way for others to join... The purpose of this group is to …
