My husband and I had our first child, Jesse, on June 23, 2010. We quickly noticed how much being a parent changes some of your friendships when your friends do not have children! We would like to meet other couples who would enjoy an occasional evening out as well as different get-togethers with the babies. We would like to keep the group limited to babies born in 2010 to first-time parents. Our hope is for all of us and our children to build long-lasting friendships with each other. Maybe somed …

On a practical level, this Portland social group is for lesbian/queer and queer-friendly women who have vitality and a strong sense of self. I say "practical" because I realize that most people use meetup casually, to meet others and find things to do from time to time. But ideally, I'd like to manifest a village of warriors. To me, a true warrior of modern times is a strong woman who has a healthy relationship with power. She speaks her truth, walks her own path, lives by principle instead of c …

Somewhere inside all of us is a desire to connect with wild nature. Some of us are able to do that to our heart's content, but many of us can't for one reason or another.

This meet-up is about helping each other find new ways to deepen our connection with wild nature, to spend more time there and better quality time there. It doesn't matter what your basic …
