This is a creativity-promoting Meetup centered around a book called "The Artist's Way". The book outlines a 12-week series of exercises to promote your creativity, of whatever flavor it might be, and to help you over whatever bumps you might be having with it.

Sometimes we'll have an opportunity to meet with a local filmmaker who has a feature film and talk with the filmmaker before and after the film. We now have some assistant organizers who will be …

There are lots of dining groups on Meetup; I belong to some. And they're great. But I don't see anything devoted to the goofy, offbeat restaurants and snack shops and events that can make eating a purposefully amusing experience. Tabletops before tablecloths, go cups before goblets, fun before fancy, cute before culinary. I don't want to be a decadent foodie all the time! This isn't intended to be devoted to bargain, cheap-eats places, though most of the things I'm interested in for this group …

What is Kizomba? Kizomba is a sensual dance that originated in Angola in the '80s. The word 'kizomba' means 'party' in the Angolan language Kimbundo. It is a fusion of Semba, the predecessor of Samba with Zouk music of the French Caribbean Islands. Kizomba is more laid back than tango but more intimate, slow and sensual than salsa. In the last few years, Kizomba has quickly spread throughout Europe via Portugal. Now it is taking its place in the USA. Kizomba Classes with Bay Area's most favorite …
