Hi all! My intention is for this to be a very friendly group of people (at least nearing 40 if not over) who love to do local things outdoors and fun activities indoors. I've lived in this county for the better part of 20 years and am finding there's lots to EXPLORE right here! Hiking the White Mountains is great, but this group will provide many options closer to home for outdoor fun. We'll have occasional distant excursions as well though. During the colder months, we'll do lots of active indo …

What is this group all about? Our members aim to become better writers in social scientific disciplines and to see more of our work published. We also like to spend time with others in a lively social venue where we can share good times, good drinks, and good food. Where did the idea for this group come from? If you're like me, the challenge of writing books, chapters, and journal articles for publication can be vexing at times. Rather than succumb to the pressure, I thought it would be better …

The great philosopher Socrates took Philosophy out of the realms of the elite-few and into the streets where, by promoting a method of inquiry among individuals, he challenged them to examine their own beliefs. Thus ensued an unraveling process for the individual, away from the world of appearances, towards Truth. Inspired by Socrates and in celebration of World Philosophy Day, a bunch of us Lovers of Wisdom created Philo-café. We aspire to conduct a similar Socratic dialogue, to bring together …

We believe that even with ALL O …
