My husband and I are a couple in our 30s looking to meet friends (couples, singles) over some fun discussions. If you like the idea of being in a book club, but don't have enough time to read the "book of the month," come try this group out! Every month, one "TEDtalk" will be selected (a free internet video ~ 10 minutes from http://www.ted.com/talks) about any of a variety of topics - the meaning of life, science, music, etc. You can watch it on your own before the meetup - or just wait until th …

Join us to discuss interesting reads in science and design. Monthly meetings over coffee or a drink.

I want to study the Bible with a group of open-minded, secular individuals so I can really understand it. The Bible is often used as ammunition and I want to fight fire with fire, so to speak.

If you are an intelligent individual who embraces science and knows that evolution is the only logical answer, then this is the group for you. If you are a Christian who believe …

This is a group for women who want to get together for a variety of activities that, while different in nature, will all lead to self-growth. I envision having a monthly meeting that could start with a book discussion (authors like Eckhart Tolle, Louise Hay, Don Miguel Ruiz, Deepak Chopra, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Wayne Dyer, Bruce Lipton...), followed by a meeting where we go for a hike in the Arboretum, Como Park, Minnehaha Falls or a forest out of the cities. Another meeting might be a meditatio …

SBS invites expert speakers to lecture on particular topics and lead discussions; and facilitates respectful and constructive reasoning dialogues between people of many different (or no) beliefs, providing the op …

Greetings and Salutations!

We're a unique venue, where those with divergent beliefs and backgrounds engage in reasoning dialogue and fellowship across the gulf of human difference. Although our members remain affiliated with their various groups that rely on religious, atheist, biological, ethnic, cultural, economic, political or ideological kinship, they also join the Circle to examine and bring their diffe …

The modern book group of today is in some ways still a push for women's intellectual autonomy. Think of this book club as a refuge for women who want to cultivate their minds outside of our current culture's norm of watching television or films. This is a casual, laid back, friendly book club discussion about the books we are reading. This book club meets in the Saint Paul Midway area. This book club may or may not be currently open to new members.  Due to the personal nature of book club discus …
