Welcome to the Minneapolis Astrology MeetUp Group! The main group meets on the second Sunday of every month. Stay tuned to the website for the location as it changes from time to time.

This book club is currently closed to new members.

Had enough of astrologers, psychics, homeopaths, ghost hunters, aliens, conspiracy theorists, creationists, and snake oil salesmen? Yearning to talk with someone rational for a while?

Every 2nd Thursday, we are "Drinking Skeptically". Sometimes we have topics and sometimes we don't. Mostly the discussion is about current …

The original Not Oprah Approved Book Club! Since 2008, we have been reading Oprah shunned books and we would love you to join us! Our meetings and members are quite laid back. If you don't like a book, you don't have to finish it (please give it a try though - first chapter or even first few pages). The meetings are half talking about the book and half catching up with each other. New people are always welcome! Members select books as a group at each meeting. We want your book suggestions. Any t …

I've been looking to join a book club for quite some time, but I never found one that appealed to me. After a lot of unproductive grumbling, I've decided to try starting one myself. Everyone's A Critic (EAC) is open to anyone who enjoys books and isn't shy about sharing their opinions about said books. I try to encourage a diverse reading selection, so please feel free to offer suggestions (fiction or nonfiction). Members usually send me suggestions and then we do a poll to pick a selection. …

The goal of the group is to create a community of people in the Twin Cities area who desire to lead a more healthy life to include: • What they eat • What they think • How they physically treat their body • How they experience and interact with the environment around them Because the group initially will be based on ideas from Kris Carr’s books it is highly suggested th …

For those of us who recognized ourselves in Elaine Aron's groundbreaking book "The Highly Sensitive Person- How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You". There are over 20 folks in this area listed as interested- let's get together! I am willing to get the wheels moving- but the direction is up to the group.

This group is for parents who want to get together along with their children for play groups and fun activities, while at the same time discussing parenting issues.  I envision some meetings being straightforward play sessions, some being book discussions (maybe without children present sometimes?), some being discussions about specific issues (sleep issues, older sibling adjusting to new baby, how to create routines/rhythm in your day, positive discipline, etc.), and others being crafty gatheri …

For anyone interested in discussing and reading great books on politics, technology, culture, and history, this is the club for you! If the meetup gains traction, we'll come up with a system for book selections. For the first month, though, I have gone ahead and picked out "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson. Even if you haven't read the book of the month, feel free to show up and listen to what other people are saying about it.

This is a study group focused on the course called The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking, from a book by the same name. It is a 99-day course designed to create permanent change in underlying beliefs, and everyday emotions and actions. There is usually only one course running at any given time, so it is important to contact the instructor to find out when the next course will begin. We urge you to take the journey from the intellectual mind to the Illumined Mind, then to the Awakened Heart, and final …

North Loop Ladies...let's get together to read & discuss some great books and socialize at one of our neighborhood establishments. Plan to meet once per month, beginning late December or just after the new year. Hoping to meet many great North Loop (Downtown Minneapolis) residents!

This is a group for those who love ideas, culture, great conversations, and staying active all year long. We read works of (primarily) fiction with a strong sense of time and place, ideally written by an author from the locale in which it’s set. Traveling the world in our reading, it seems only fitting that the discussion be also on the move! So we take our conversations out-of-doors for a walk around our wonderful local Twin cities neighborhoods, lakes, parks, etc. and conclude for final though …

We are a diverse group who meet monthly to share our observations, insights and sometimes personal lessons, we find in the Great Books that still change the world. We use the Great Books Foundation's assorted collections, like "The Great Books Reading and Discussion Program" Series to allow us to make easy and quick reference to whichever text we're discussing. Great Books offer insights into human experience and common challenges to living a good life well, and offer happiness and hope for toda …

This is an informal book club for working through Martha Beck's books and some similar authors in the area of self-exploration, creative and social awakening. I am just a regular person looking to grow myself as a writer, photographer, artist and app developer - not a therapist or certified life coach. This group is for people looking to talk about the sometimes hard, sometimes ridiculously hilarious work of finding ourselves in this wild new world. Our conversations will hopefully be a mix of s …

This group features weekly games which embody our key concepts: 1. Intensity.  Games should encourage you to push yourself to your physical limits.  Most games will covertly employ the HIIT style of physical training.  I say covertly, for while your muscles might be screaming out like they do during any good exercise, you will be far too focused on capturing the flag to notice. 2. Creativity.  Sometimes unconventional, out-of-the-box thinking is damn near a requirement to winning.  Think "Ender' …

Writing comedy and humor of any form is not easy. Doing it on a regular basis is even harder. This comedy/humor writing group is open to anyone of any level who writes in any format. We meet each week for an hour or two. The length will depend on the space, if the room is reserved, the number of people who show up, blah, blah, blah. We'll start off writing, then reading, probably BSing and then, maybe, drinking or eating. We'll give you writing prompts if needed. Read what you wrote that day or …
