The heart of this project is a focus on the importance of fairy tales as a creative force both in literature and culture. Literary fairy tales can be seen, in terms of genre, to mediate between, on the one hand, folktales, from which they often derive both form and content; and on the other, the more elaborate narratives of full-blown fantasy novels. The Centre will provide a forum where writers and scholars from various disciplines can discuss folk narratives, fairy tales and fantasy works, bot …

For some it will be business and financial success that motivates them and for others it will be personal growth.

A Thoroughly Western Teaching Your life is a mystery. Every child is born with a connection to this mystery but we are pulled out and away from it by the world of relating, achieving, aggression, information and knowledge. We all came into life to try and get something and most people spend their whole life chasing this something outside of themselves through experience. But if you have suffered enough from this endless outer pursuit for happiness and fulfilment then it can be very helpful to m …

This is a group for events and get-togethers in and around Yeovil. It's a catch-all group mainly because I'm into all sorts of different things – and I think I'm not alone in that!

Let me know …

This is a group for people of atheist or agnostic persuasion to meet up to try to counteract the religion and superstition that prevails in the countryside if you are outside of a big city such as Bristol or London. I know there must be people of such persuasion out there but probably like me you feel isolated and alone. I live in Glastonbury which is awash with rampant superstition. They compete to try and get me to believe in their brand of it. However over the last three years I have become c …

We meet regularly to play games in Aldershot, Godalming and Blackheath (near Guildford, not the London one!) We love playing epic Board and Tabletop games and Role Playing Games, but mostly hanging out with nice people and having some fun.

I've been studying sociology since 2002, finally completing my Ph.D in 2012. During that time, I saw a need for more social groups that bring sociologists together, and allow them to talk about their research and network with other like minded individuals. I found the Ph.D journey to be intellectually fulfilling, but at times rather isolating. So, I've decided to set this group up with the aim of allowing students and academics to come together and talk about their work. This group is open to al …
