It is inspired by the International Society of Subtle Energies and Medicine and the Institute of Noetic Sciences …

… Merge science and religion/philosophy or you will never understand much more than you do now. I do not propose that we combine church and state. I propose that there should be no church and no state since those are the extremes of insanity. Over the years my mind has been to both extremes, reductionism in how I was autistic as a child and now only some of it remains (and I wouldn't choose to give up that logical ability), and holistic in how in college I practiced a very small amount of …

SWAC is a group that hosts informal social events designed to promote fellowship and social networking among skeptics, critical thinkers, and other like-minded individuals. Like Skeptics in the Pub, we want to provide opportunities for skeptics and rationalists to talk and share ideas in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. And have fun while promoting skepticism, science, and rationality. The group is "Without A Cause" to emphasize that informal, social nature of the group. Unlike many groups in Santa …

This is a group to support individuals who have shed the doctrine they were most likely "brought up" in. As a former Christian, I do not have support from friends and family to pursue truth and have an honest discussion. We believe in the power of evidence, science and a healthy debate.

I'm here at Naomi's Coffee in beautiful Morgan Hill, drinking my Americano. On a casual search on my iPhone yellow pages app, within a 10-mile radius, I find over 60 churches and about 10 practitioners of alternative medicine. Sheesh! I did a search in meetup for a freethinking group, and the nearest ones are in Santa Cruz and San Jose. I figure there MUST be people in the Morgan Hill/Gilroy area who celebrate science, skepticism, and rational thought--People who aren't prone to believing there …

This group is for people who are interested in the Law of Attraction and want to learn how to apply it  in a fun and friendly setting.   Everyone who understands the universal Law of Attraction (what you think and focus on you get, whether you want it or not) knows that it’s not rocket science – we all get it. But the implications and practice of it are life-changing and far-reaching. And when you start using your emotional guidance system, well, life just gets better and better!   When you …
