This group is for Spanish speakers of all levels: from native to novice. In my experience, the trouble with learning a new language is three-fold: fear of speaking, making time to practice and hitting plateaus in ability. This group is being created to address these issues. We'll meet in a casual environment with the understanding that mistakes will be made in speaking...and made often. We'll have a standing conversation time on Wednesday or Thursday nights (TBD by the group) somewhere near the …

Metaphor is always with us in: what we read and write; what we see in media, film, T.V. and photography; in all forms of the arts, including the art of telling our stories from poetry to cultural fables to personal story, but it is also embedded in psychology and education. Metaphors are powerful and enrich our lives, but they also can have destructive impacts or sell us down the garden path making us think we need things that we don't. This Meetup will look at the art of metaphor. I will bring …

This is weekly word-of mouth group that's been around since at least 1988. There is no organizer, theme, or teacher. You don’t have to speak fluent French, but our members do have at least a little bit of French and, importantly, a willingness to use the French they have and to make mistakes. It’s okay to be a beginner as long as you don’t expect to find “free tutoring” or “free French lessons"with "free teachers."

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 …

The Center for Changing Lives of Lutheran Social Services initially provided us with a meeting space. Advertising through Meet-u …
