Mindfulness means being in that very moment. Not the one coming up or the ones that have passed.-Debra Carlson, Mindful Dater This is a group for those of us in midlife trying to get it right the second time. Any age and situation is welcome but I see this primarily as a group for those of us who are starting over. I just finished If The Buddha Dated by Charlotte Kasi. It's a great guide to knowing yourself and who you are looking for and how to find them. As I discussed it with friends I real …

A professional and social connection without the complications: No dues, No don'ts, No agendas, No ages. Welcoming the wedded, the single, the seeker, the dalliance-prone, the silly/serious or just the curious. Come for platonic or monkey business (oh my!). Come for the rivalry, the ribaldry, for the wit, the wisdom, the verve, the punch, the elan (practice your class, breeding and manners, of course). Be cerebral, casual, sophisticated, complex or be just straight forward. Be yourself, or for f …

My name is Will and I started this group to meet people with a passion for mountain biking. This group is for the mountain biker that wants to go on weekend trips. If you enjoy weekend mountain bike trips then this group is for you.

I started this group out of a love of temporary Henna Tattoos (Mehendi) and was amazed at how the art of Henna brings groups of ladies together in a social setting. Mix in a touch of some Bellydance and perhaps a glass of wine and a fabulous Ladies Night Out ensues!  I wanted an easy way for ladies of all ages to gather and be able to get a Henna Tattoo while having a social night out at the same time.  We'll also throw in some mini Bellydance lessons from time to time to make it even more fun!  …

I moved here 7 years ago and met most of my friends playing a game I loved. Still love the game, still have the friends.

Usuall Meet on Sundays when the weather is nice, between 1 and 4. There is a fee to play due to it being a private club but they are the (3) best courts in …

Hello! I just searched the Charleston area for a meet up group for political leftists, and was sad to not find one. So, I'm creating a group for people who are leftist thinkers (moderate on up :D) to join together and discuss ideas and current events. If you would like to meet similar minded people for a drink and a bite, please consider joining.

I moved to Charleston a few months ago and realized there are tons of things I want to do here, but being new in town I can't always find people to do them with me. So, I thought about a meet.up group that I belonged to in Raleigh, NC and decided to create a branch of it here. The main purpose of this group is to get out and experience life. That might mean trying new things, old things, routine things, exciting things but no matter what we should all have fun! I have a rotating work schedule an …
