ABOUT THE ORGANIZER:  I'm not a musician or a singer.  I'm not a songwriter.  And I don't know squat about music theory.  I'm just an average individual with a passion for good music such as "Classic" rock n' roll". THE NATURE OF THE GROUP AND MY VISION:  Initially, this group will continue fairly much as it was created by our last Organizer.  But I want to take it further.  My goal is to eventually offer creative events that go beyond listening and dancing, though certainly those will continue. …

As I create sacred space here in the stillness at Rawprincess Studio I find the clutter is emerging from deeper and deeper layers. As I release all that is not my soul's calling and willingly release mistaken identities and beliefs, my own power from deep inside is literally being pulled up and out. Until I am turning myself inside out. I have suspended yoga slings called Om Gyms here. I have space to do yoga. We have trees and a trail to Washington Park and on into Forest Park. We are doing a m …

I recently moved back to the Portland area after living out of state for four years, and I've been freelancing (mostly full-time) for the past two years. After searching for a community group that allows self-employed writers and editors to network, share stories and just kick back and mingle, I came up short. So here I am, starting my own. I envision this group meeting once or twice a month for happy hour, where we can chat about what we're working on, spread the word about new freelance opport …

This is a group of poetry lovers that meets monthly to share poems. Some of us are poets, and some are not. We started with an emphasis on mystical poetry, and then yielded to the suggestion that poetry is inherently mystical. The format is informal: We each bring a few poems, by ourselves or others, and take turns reading to the group. Sometimes we choose seasonal themes, but all poems are welcome and appreciated. When we can, we bring copies to distribute to the group (usually not more than 5 …

The Last Regiment is one of the few remaining syncopated drum corps. It was formed in September 1998 by Greg Odell in the hopes of continuing a style of drumming that incorporates both military style rudiments with "street beat" rhythms borne out of Long Beach, California. We are a diverse community group ranging in ages from 14 to 45. We are currently recruiting new trainees who preferably have a background in drumming, marching band, or music. January begins our 16 week training period for new …
