The goal of our group is to explore and experience the unique culture of Portland and the northwest. What makes us different is that we are very active with at least 20 events on the calendar per month. Most of the events are done on foot, but some are simply showing up at a particular destination for fun. Events include: Dining and entertainment walks (highlighting great restaurants, happy hours, wine tastings and entertainment opportunities in the Portland area). Narrated walking tours of Por …

This group started as a taste testing group, but we have too many interests and too much A.D.D. to focus on just one thing. So "Random Events and Whatnot" was born! (We were going to call it "The Portland Hodgepodge Medley of Random Events and Whatnot" but then we sobered up.) Here are some of the activities we have hosted:   ·      Hiking ·      Storytelling ·      Taste Testing ·      Pot Luck Dinners ·      Glow in the Dark Night Frisbee ·      Book Club ·      Game Night ·      Movie Night/F …

30's are the new 20's!

A group dedicated to enjoying tea and great company. We specialize in socializing around a pot of tea. Come one, come all especially those who are new in town. 

Are you a fan of jazz music (or other niche genres) or  just curious to know what it's all about and why we "jazzers" are so dedicated to the art (or somewhere in between?)? If so, join us as we explore the great music and more that Portland has to offer. I had originally created this meetup to bring out what I (perhaps mistakenly) considered a lost generation of jazz listeners -- namely, my peers in their late 30's through mid 40's -- but have decided to leave my emotional baggage behind :-) an …

This group does as the name says....breakfast on a regular basis...and other activities as well. Several times a month on Saturday, we have breakfast somewhere in the Portland metro area. Once or twice a month, we have a Sunday brunch. Occasionally, we may have weekday breakfasts if people are interested. "And then some" includes activities following breakfast or brunch, or other events that members may be interested in attending. We may see a movie, visit a farmer's market, go to a wine tasting …

I'll be honest....I have no friends! I just moved to the Portland area for business. I have a great job, an amazing boyfriend...but I miss spending time with girls! I know I can't be the only twenty-something, semi-single career gal new to the area, and thought this might be a fun way to meet some fun girls. The group will be about the reading if you'd like it to be...or we could talk about the book for about 15 minutes and then just drink wine.

Energy and consciousness raising circle dances, also known as Sufi Dancing, blend folk-style dancing with words and themes from the world's religions.

Each dance is fully taught, relatively easy to learn, and guided. So fear not! First-timers are welcome and greatly encouraged to participate. In fact, each dance is taught as if the group has never danced before. …

Do you feel disconnected sometimes? We seem to be bombarded with stories of isolation and fear, and often disconnecting is the only defense we feel we have. Our internet culture, despite all the social networks and "connecting" tools, leaves us yearning for communal experience. We ache to be known. And with as busy as things get it's often challenging to give our existing relationships the time and attention they require in order for them to thrive. Sometimes it's easier to give of ourselves tha …
