See you this Tuesday and next Tuesday
Come join us for a rich, topical discussion on the first Tuesday of the month. We come together to share perspectives and insights on subjects of interest in a welcoming and civil forum. We usually feature a TED Talk or YOUtube video for 15 minutes or so, followed by some questions for everyone to discuss. Topics are chosen by members and have ranged from mindfulness to addiction and everything in between. Feel free to eat your dinner or slurp your drink during the meeting–we’ll remind you to mute. For now, while we are taking COVID-19 precautions, our meetings will be online via ZOOM. Free to the public.
Past THINK AND DRINK TOPICS are varied and have been on:
Mindfulness- by Gaillee
Clothes-Do they Matter- by Jason
Working with Millennials – by Karen Eve
What we’re about
Think & Drink…Enjoy tea, coffee, libations and snacks with other people interested in exploring and discussing the challenges, opportunities, and issues of the 21st century on the 1st Tuesday of each month at 5:30 pm. It’s for anyone who is curious or just trying to maneuver life positively, holistically, and constructively. Our open meetings will be fun and include social time for conversation followed by relevant topics and respectful discussions. Topics may be presented by members via TED talks, You Tubes, films or other media, and be facilitated and open for discussion afterwards. We are open to all genders, races, interests, and ages. Bring your well-behaved kids . Bring ideas and open minds to engage, and intersect with others. The group members will determine topics and style as Think & Drink evolves.
Think & Drink should be a community group that is…
• Open and inclusive
• Welcoming & Safe
• Fun & Happy
• Participatory
• Respectful & Non-judgmental
• Confidential
• Productive
• Valuable
Eat, drink from 5 to 5:30 or so, then Think about our Topic and Discuss. Our one request is that all of those in the discussion remain respectful of one another. Think & Drink is a judgement-free zone, which doesn’t mean you have to agree with anyone here, but that you remain respectful of where every person is on their journey in life and to have FUN!

Join us for a magical journey of exploration and wonder. Each week we discuss a variety of topics that will not only inspire and inform but also transform and enlighten.
What we’re about
Welcome to The Eminent Way. We meet weekly to discuss all manner of things related to cultural, occult, religious, and esoteric subjects – as they pertain to one’s personal development journey.
Your life in the Universe is made possible by the fact of Creation itself. This planet we call home, this grand theater of expression, is the crucible in which the unseen becomes seen; the unmanifest is made plain; the unknown becomes known.
For seventy or more years, this is your home, in which each moment is extended to you the permission to be, to know, and to do.
You condensed from the unseen realms of force and power according to definite, inescapable laws that govern and make this theater possible. The very laws that created the Universe made you possible too. You are a microcosm of the whole – everything that exists outside of you also exists within, for, in reality, there is no difference; it is simply a matter of scale.
The ancients knew well that to study the Universe is to study oneself, and to study oneself is to explore the Universe. And yet, without exact knowledge of the fundamental laws of force, power, matter, and consciousness, one’s journey becomes a detour of idle speculation.
And yet, there is a Way that originates outside of life but must be practiced within it; a Way that does not arise from the mind of man, yet directly involves it; a Way that helps one connect with the evolutionary signal of creation that informs human purpose.
This is The Eminent Way.
