Spiritual life doesn't just happen in a single building, or one day a week.  Are you interested in exploring what it means to be Christian in a faith community that celebrates the gifts of all cultures and all people -- queer, straight, trans, cis, men and women -- and that values creation, creativity, and justice? We're hoping to meet a few people in different parts of the East Bay who want to experience a community of prayer and practice, instead of jus …

There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …

Who: Any avid romance novel reader with an open mind and a sense of humor. Why: I haven't been able to find a book club geared towards romance novels (most exclude them), and especially not in the East Bay. I commute a lot during the week for work, so I woul …

This group is for girls in their 20's who are looking to make long-lasting and gratifying friendships. You may think this an odd title for a group of this sort, so allow me to share a story. This quote is from one of my all-time favorite books, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but that's not what I think of when I hear it. In my spring semester of 2011, I studied abroad in Rome and made friends with two amazing girls. These girls and I found that our common ground was a crazy thirst for life and …
