The vision is simple. Promote beauty, sustainability, and community within Seattle gardens and among their gardeners by trading plants, seeds, bulbs, etc. - instead of throwing them in the compost pile. Join this group to make the vision a reality!

This Meetup is all about arranging flowers & creating floral projects to take home the same night. Most of the time we’ll be using fresh flowers, but an occasional silk flower project is a possibility. We’ll meet at the Organizer’s Farmhouse in Edgewood, WA, very close to Fife & Milton. Julia’s Farmhouse was built in 1900, and is a comfy old place, and very relaxed. There is room for up to 15 members every time – many more would be a squeeze. If our Meetup gets larger, we’ll decide together what …

The core group of pagan and open religious members has not changed; we still operate as an agent of religious tolerance. However, the time has come to move into a broader scope of ideas, and green living is where we are headed. If you are interested in being a member of the Ideas Committee, come on out on No …

This group was started in the Seattle area and will remain centered around the Seattle area for the time being, until it grows to a point where a majority of it members would be better served by either moving it or splitting into a second meetup group. Knowing that the government will never be your source for safety, protection and emergency supplies is the first step. Zombie outbreaks (a metaphor for an emergency or disaster and those that are unprepared) are to be expected in the upcoming ye …

The renaissance is here, and it brought ice-cream! So, here’s the idea: Ideas. Unfiltered, unencumbered, and unapologetically enthusiastic ideas. Ideas that lead to grease-smeared hands, lavender sorbet, things that go bang, clouds of steam, those goggle-marks you see on crazy chemistry geeks, and some guy (or girl) in the background juggling and swinging from a trapeze. We are a collective of intellectual eccentrics, passionate about learning and our various (and yes, I mean various) arts. Wal …

A growing number of people around the world, particularly here in the Pacific Northwest, are advocating for a change in the way we relate to the Earth – to think of the Earth not as our Mother, but instead as our Lover. These people call themselves EcoSexuals and they embrace both the earth body and the human body as worthy of our respect and love. EcoSexuals are also exploring how our relationship with human sexuality affects how we relate to ourselves, one another and Earth’s ecosystems. We ho …
