Following the theatre improv principles of "Yes, and...", non-judgment, and deep listening/participation, we have FUN with sound and music, made from instruments and our own bodies. This is like an adult PLAY group using music. So what does this have to do with CREATIVITY, TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, COLLABORATION, and KNOWLEDGE SHARING? Improvisation requires MAKING THINGS UP, MAKING DO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, LISTENING, and PARTICIPATING. Give and take. Offer and receive. Lead and fo …

This group is offered as an exploration of creativity, sound, voice, and music, as tools to deepen our experience of everyday life. We access the sounds in our environment as well as in our own bodies - our breath, voice, silence, and resonance as human beings. We may explore meditation, yoga, singing, art, food, nature, writing, or any other aspects of human expression. Circles are led by a rotating members from a cohort of sound healing practitioners trained at the California Institute of Inte …

I love all that the Bay Area has to offer and have formed a group of peers who enjoy interesting activities like  theater, dining out, trips to the beach and to wine country, to live concerts, to hiking trails, and tennis courts, to gay/lesbian events, and whatever else sounds fun! If you're ready to meet some interesting women for social and professional activities, want to have lots of laughter and fun, consider yourself a "boomer" ( 40's-early 60's) and live in the East Bay, this group is fo …

Hi, everyone! I started this group because I want to find people that were interested in crossing things off from their "Bucket List". From adrenaline-rushing activities, to simple happy hours where we can discuss our next event, traveling, or volunteering at a shelter, I know we can all find a common interest one way or another. If you join all or just a couple of the activities we will be having, I will be more than happy that you will be there! Because we will be conquering our fears together …

This group is all about fun! We eat, drink and play. Meet new people, try new places, connect with old friends - just have a great time! We do all sorts of things - especially eating and lots of it. We always end up eating, whether it's included in the event or not. :) We do and go wherever it sounds good. It's all on the Peninsula - we always stay close to home. So come along and join us!

Hello, This is a message from the new dude administering this group, since apparently the host dropped out and no one decided to pick it up. I'm new to the West Coast and want people to hang out with.  The rest pretty much remains... This is a group dedicated to slightly off-kilter people ages 18-29 in the Bay/East Bay areas. We totally nerd out over video games, movies, music, board games and more, so come join us one night! We're always looking for new and interesting things to do in the great …

This Meet-Up is for beginners.  You don't have to read music, sing, or improvise AND you don't need a drum.  There are no prerequisites.  I will teach you your part and I will make you successful! This is a great activity where adults and children (9 and older) can participate as equals and it is just plain FUN! Of course, you don’t have to be members of a family to participate. We will be learning specific ensemble pieces, which I will teach you.  From September through January, we will work wi …

There are so many groups out there for "women only" - do guys do that sort of thing? Well, we do! This is a group for guys that love live music (or occasional movies) and want to go with a good group of guys, and hit up some food beforehand. I started this group because I do this all the time with individual friends, and would like do this with a handful of friends. I love going up to SF and seeing some interesting band that I've never heard of. They might be great or they might suck, and either …

We are connecting the dots by telling stories: about life we are living, about travel we took last winter, about last movie we saw, about premonition over last night's dream, and about food. Sharing stories over food is a tradition, something we all have done since we were able to recognize lights and sounds. Taken from a dictionary, the definition of "Food" is, a noun: "any nourishing substance that is eaten, drunk, or otherwise taken into the body to sustain life, provide energy, promote grow …

Hi everyone! I've been meaning to do this for a long time. FIRST: European, American, Japanese, Vintage, muscle, sports car, bone stock, mild custom, sleeper, totally modded, blown, shaved, bagged as well as short & long bed truck owners I welcome you all! HISTORY: A few years ago I found a posting on cl of a guy who was looking for people with sports cars to do a car cruise. About 12 or 13 cars showed and it was great fun. I hope I can get at least a dozen cars (the more the better) every 2 wee …

Are you tired of trying to find the right place to meet mature (48-65 ish), eligible single folks?  I am.  Bars send the wrong message; singles events are mainly about dancing and loud music with no opportunity to actually get to know folks; dating websites are expensive or just not very helpful and some other meetup groups seem to more like a singles "meat market", only for young folks, or they are non-singles events. I have started this group because I love going out to dinner and socializing …

This is a group for contemporary artists in the Silicon Valley area who desire to meet other artists for the sake of fostering artistic community. Silicon Valley is a tough area to work in as a contemporary artist. With the exception of a few galleries and museums, and some small collegial art programs, meeting other artists so as not to be creating is a vacuum is difficult at best. Engaging with other artists is key to sustaining an art practice, both for the purposes of moral support, getting …
