Coffee Culture Conversation - in Dayton
A no-fee group that simply lets people to get together and have great conversations and positive interactions. There is enough negativity around and enough to worry about. How about we take time out of our busy schedules to meet people and just enjoy a cup of Joe or have a conversation. Every person has a personality. Why not try to get to know some people you might enjoy being around. We're freeform- the group lets you make what you want of it. There are enough groups that address specific interests. This one is about meeting and having meaningful, engaging conversations or activities with people like you. People's biggest hesitation seems to be - how do I just go by myself with a bunch of strangers I don't know? Trust me - everyone goes through that anxiety to put oneself out there like that and meet strangers. If you feel that way, you're not alone. But the best way to get through it is to make it to that first meetup of yours. After that you won't feel a sense of not belonging and being an outsider. Go to one meetup and decide for yourself what your comfort level is and whether the group/people are something that you want to socialize it. You won't know until you try it out and it never hurts to try!! So go for it that ONE time if nothing else. You've got nothing to lose, and this group doesn't charge money so its free anyhow. What kinds of things do we plan on doing as part of this group? Here are a few ideas: For the foodies - breakfasts, lunches, dinners For the movie buffs - enjoy a good movie or a double feature! For the bar hoppers - some work weeks are crappy and some are not. All work weeks end on a Friday. Get the idea? :-) For the conversationalists - discuss a book, discuss a philosophy, discuss whatever you want under the sun (or moon) For the nature lovers - lets do brunches and hikes, bike rides ... more A few tips: 1) When signing up tell us a little bit about yourself. People who join the group like to know what other members are like so a brief introduction about who you are and what you're looking for (about 2 sentences in all) helps 2) Make sure you take our polls. This is your chance to tell us what you want from this group! This is a start and this is your opportunity - so lets meet

Law of Attraction in Action (Dayton)
I have been studying the Law of Attraction for a few years now and would like to have a group of like-minded people to learn, share, and experience with. Since the group is called "LOA in ACTION", I thought it would also be nice to set goals, support each other in them, and serve as accountability partners. Oh yeah... and have fun doing it too!!! I recently got Joe Vitale's program "The Secret to Attracting Money." Since this seems to be a universal topic, I thought we could use the first several meetups to explore this program. Who couldn't use some more money??? But it's really about so much MORE than money too... Please free to contact me with any questions, comments, or just to say "hi". I'm excited to start attracting the perfect people for our group! Ready, set, ATTRACT! :)

The Dayton Vegan Meetup
This group is for vegans, those considering veganism or eating more vegan meals and folks who just enjoy good vegan food. We meet at local restaurants or other venues to eat, but will consider educational, cooking and activist events as well. We exist to support our members in their efforts to live a more compassionate, healthy, ecologically sound lifestyle and to build a strong community of people who share these values in the Dayton area. Please post your specific event and venue suggestions using the "Ideas for Meetup" tool, including existing events (one idea per post please), and cast your vote for others' suggestions. If it relates to veganism and five people are interested, I'll schedule it. Vegans do not eat or wear animal products such as animal flesh, dairy, eggs, leather or wool. Honey is not technically vegan, but many otherwise vegan people eat it. Being vegan (or just eating like one often) is not as hard as it sounds and it has many advantages for animals, your health and the environment. Information on veganism and resources for vegan living can be found in our Vegan Resources page. Please join the group, attend our events and make use of our message boards and mailing list. We're just waiting to meet you or hear from you.

Oneness Blessing/Deeksha of Ohio
We are entering the golden age where love, peace, joy and harmony will replace hate, war, suffering and greed. Many traditions speak of gods who walked on Earth in previous golden ages. As we begin our transition into the next Golden Age, the same possibility is opening up once again. The human being is a transitional species. A new species is now being birthed in our midst. The induction process is preparing the way for what Sri Aurobindo referred to the divine human. Through the generations, and as we fully enter into the Golden Age, this will give rise to a ‘supra-mental’ species far beyond the current state of humanity. Oneness Blessing /Deeksha, The Fire from Heaven, is a Divine energy that Awakens the Enlightenment Process. The direct transference of an intelligent divine energy which causes the heart to flower and initiates a neurobiological change in the brain. The Oneness Blessing balances energy from (overactive) thinking centers of the brain to the (underactive) frontal lobe calming centers. This ‘re wiring’ of the brain enables the senses to become free from the interference of the mind. When the senses are unclouded by the mind’s interpretations, a natural clarity of perception occurs with accompanying feelings of joy, inner peace, connection and Oneness. The neurobiological shift in the brain awakens the energy centers (Chakras) in the body. This shift in consciousness frees you from the suffering created by the mind, lessens the chatter of the mind, balances the body’s natural well-being and healing energies and attunes the brain with the fields of unity, bringing an end to the illusion of “apparent separation”. Once initiated, it is a gradual Awakening process that leads you naturally to a lasting state of Oneness, Inner peace, and Well-being. In relationships, the Oneness Blessing enables a greater sensitivity and connectedness with the other, freeing you from the limitations of your judgments and conditionings. Success and prosperity begins with consciousness – a capacity to expand your horizon of thinking and an understanding of the universe around you, the principles governing you. The external world is a reflection of the inner world. To change the world we must begin with ourselves, with the flowering of the heart. This is not just another concept, but an experience of Oneness with all of Creation and with the Divine Presence. This is a revelation. When people really grasp this, we will be living in a heaven on earth. It will mean completely disconnecting from the consensus reality of the ancient mind and our relationship with matter itself will be very different. It will mean that all the insights of quantum physics will become true, not just on a micro level, but on the level of our perceptions as well! By becoming a member of Oneness Blessing/Deeksha Dayton area you will be notified of all of the open Oneness Blessings happening in the Dayton area and other meetings and workshops that promote Oneness. Join and experience the Oneness Blessing and change your life for the better! For more information on the Oneness Blessing/Deeksha visit www.onenessforall.com Miracles Happen!!!

Active Little Explorers
If you're looking for a laid back playgroup for you and your child/children then this is the place to be. There's not alot of rules and requirements. You make it to meetings when you can. I just ask that you keep in touch so I can plan events. I do ask that EVERYONE TRY to make at least one playgroup a month and you MUST have some sort of "contact" with the group (email, message board, meetup) at least once a month. After all, we're here to make friends for our kids and ourselves. The initial goal of the group is to have at least 2 playgroups a week and a Moms Night Out at least once a month. Any and all suggestions for the group are more than welcome. Our calendar is filled with events at different times of the day for children of all ages. We have mostly day events and some evening/weekend events. Dads are always invited and seem to have fun playing on the playground equipment unless it's a moms night out/in (That's our girl time). This Playgroup is designed to provide a safe and caring support network for moms and kids. Members support each other through friendship, encouragement and sharing of experiences. This is a laid-back, child-centered, friendly organization intent on enriching the quality of life for mothers. RSVP Politeness When an event is hosted at member's home: * If you RSVP "Maybe" please update it whether or not you will be able to attend 24 hours in advance. "Maybe's" will be considered "No's" the morning of event. * You should update your RSVP as soon as your plans change. If that's within 24 hours of the event, you should personally contact the Organizer or Host via phone to tell them about the change. If you are expected to bring a food item/contribution to the event, and you cancel at the last minute, it is polite to offer to drop your contribution by, to the host if able. * Things comes up, this is understood. When an event is at a park: * Please change your RSVP if you are not able to make it. * If when you change your RSVP and notice that there is just 1 yes, please send that member a message as they might not check the event before leaving. We ask this so that the member can decided if they still want to go to or make other arrangements. We understand that life happens and plans change. Please remember that organizers and hosts have put time into setting up the event so an RSVP or notice that plans have changed is much appreciated. Please make sure that you input all of the organizers phone numbers in your cell phone so that you can contact them in case you get lost or have a very last minute change of plans. Liability To me this goes without saying. But, if you participate in ANY event associated with our group (including playgroups at a member's home, parties, park visits, field trips, and carpooling to any scheduled events) you do so at your OWN risk. In other words, take responsibility for yourself and your children. If they get hurt, it's your responsibility to take care of the situation. The group and it's members are not liable for any injuries incurred by other members or their guests at any activity or function. Safety Policy NO LURKERS ALLOWED!! We all plan to "Meetup" at least once a month (unless something comes up) and we all want to "meet" other mamas and kiddos. This is a private group. Your safety is our utmost concern. If you have questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact the group organizer or assistant organizer The group Organizer reserves the right to remove anyone from the group at their own discretion. No warnings need to be given. Illness Policy Don't go to playgroup if baby or mom: is acting sick has thick, yellow, green, nasal secretions has diarrhea, frequent, watery, mucous or bloody has vomited within 48 hours has fever has eye drainage or bloodshot eyes has sore throat has cough and fever has spot-like rash following low-grade fever and tiredness (might be chicken pox) has been on antibiotics for less than 48 hours If clear runny nose, then use your intuition as to whether it's sickness or allergies/teething. (Likely if it's after sickness, it's still contagious.) In general when the illness is mild or viral in nature, the child may return when the he has been free of symptoms for 24 hours, has no colored drainage, is tolerating food and liquid without incident (no vomiting, stools are soft and formed), coughing is minimal and intermittent, temperature is normal, energy level has returned to normal for that child, appetite has been regained, and, in the case of chicken pox, any skin lesions have dried and scabbed over. Ultimately, parents know their kids best. If the child is less active, looks drawn out and tired, or has a fever, it is a sign that they should be kept home. If your baby gets sick soon after playgroup, please send an email to the group so they understand that their baby might have been exposed to a cold, etc.

We beleve in the 9 principles and 12 values set forth in the national The912Project.com and shall pursue the preservation of the government promised us by the constitution of the United States of America. We alsp believe in three uniting factors Limited Government, Fiscal Responsibility and Free Markets. It is our mission to eductate people to the proper role of the Federal government as described in the Constitution, inspire people to connect with one another in a constructive manner and provide for a peaceful movement to preserve the United States government, a government of the people, by the people and for the people. The 912 Project is designed to bring us back to the place we were on September 12, 2001. The day after America was attacked, we were not obsessed with Red and Blue states or political parties. We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the greatest nation ever established.

Dayton Steampunk Interest Group
Steampunk is a growing movement and it's time Dayton Ohio got organized! Steampunk began in literature which said What if the Victorian's steam engine technology never went into gasoline and electricity, and air travel was by airship, not airplane? Today, Steampunk means cool fashion, gadgets, music, home design and more. I've encountered many people recently who say they love the steampunk look, so I thought I'd set up a series of monthly gatherings to help give people a reason to work on their steampunk projects. The group should go in whatever direction (s) it wants to. Plenty of room for leadership here - if you have a vision you can make it happen! I'd like for the group to stay all-inclusive, with plenty of room for beginners and those whose goals and interests are different from the majority. Come stop by, get yourself deeper into Steampunk, learn a little, share a little, meet some people, have some fun!

Ministério Transformaçao
We started the group because we wanted Brazilians in the Dayton, Columbus, Cincinnati area to have times to connect and celebrate their Brazilian traditions. Many Brazilians are missing their homeland and their way of worship, and we are a Methodist Group that has formed to try to reach out and help Brazilians who may be struggling, or just want to connect to fellow Brazilians who understand their struggles. We also have formed a Portuguese class at Sinclair, offered through their curriculum on Thursday evenings, 5:30-8:10pm starting in September. We are hosting a Brasilian Independence Day Celebration at Caesar's Creek on Sunday, September 5 from 1:00-7:00. Meat and drinks are provided, and we ask that you bring a covered dish to share. We will be celebrating in Portuguese, so please feel free to come and feel the the rhythms of Brasil!
