Are you interested in Google's Go Programming language and the computer science theory behind the language? Come to GoDFW to discuss either the practical "extreme" coding techniques of the Go language or the deeper theoretical concepts developed during the past 50 years that inspired Go.

If you want to live a more fulfilled life, first you will want to know your potential, who you really are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the methodology of the science of awareness. Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions. Osho Active Meditations have been scientifically designe …

Imagine a church without supernaturalism but honestly and passionately committed to exploring the meaning and significance of life, love, right and wrong and other "religious questions." Imagine a church of people who don't believe in god(s) for the same reason that they don't believe in James Bond, John Luc Picard, and Xena. And imagine that the people of this church are fun, friendly, and interesting and love to get together, learn from each other, and face life's challenges together. That chu …

Love, sharing & the healing of our fellow man is becoming what is normal. The other side of this coin is a reality full of people who are hurting - who are hurting other people who are hurting. It is causing a great disturbance that is rooted in the spiritual and that manifests physically as war, …
