Occasionally a 4R (Reduce Reuse Recycle Repair) workshop happening in Seattle will be added to the meetup calendar.

Battling invasive ivy, blackberry, and caring for native plant communities is hard work with purpose and meaning. West Seattle has a little-known creek, Puget Creek, that is culturally important to the Duwamish Tribe. Salmon once spawned in this creek that drains into the Duwamish River near the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center. So, restoring habitat in the Puget Creek watershed has an environmental justice aspect to it. Puget Creek watershed is also important to King County Wastewater Tre …

Café Philo, is a french tradition I'm bringing in Seattle. As a fan of philosophy and technology, this cafe philo 2.0 is a little bit different from the one I use to attend in Paris. The format is simple (and new!) a. You share your question (ie what is sustainability? is it possible/good?) b. we vote on the best one c. You have 1 min to explain your general point of view (kinda help to see where the debate will go) c. We have 30-60min to prep our arguments (using books / internet...) d. We deba …

Hello and Welcome! Lets get together in homes and community spaces to get work done while getting to know one another. I'm thinking of blackberry harvesting, pickling, sewing/quilting, mending, holiday crafts, window washing, gardening, and painting. I'm also thinking of singing and games and potluck meals. You should join this group if you think a home is more than just a house that is ready for a Martha Stewart photo shoot. You should join this group if you want to work toward creating a world …

MentorMeMentorYou for Men was inspired by the original MentorMeMentorYou (for Women) and is a group of mixed aged men coming together to exchange life experiences, ask questions, listen, and share from the heart in confidence that what they say will be heard and respected without being judged. The idea is that we all have life experiences that were hard earned and often came at the end of a long road of pain and struggle. These strengths in some cases could not have been gotten any other way; we …

MentorMeMentorYou is a group of mixed ages women to come together to exchange life experience, ask questions, listen, and share from the heart in confidence that what they say will be heard and respected without being judged. The idea is that we all have valuable pearls of wisdom that were hard earned and often came at the end of a long road of pain and struggle. These strengths in some cases could not have been gotten any other way; we had to learn our life lessons the hard way. However, that d …

The Common Good Café is a conversational café where we practice the art of civil, civic conversation. We join together and listen to a presenter, followed by small group conversation, and a time of Q&A. The focus of the Common Good Café is to serve as a discussion place where we can advance our commitment to engaging the political, environmental, and cultural issues of our time. Each café ends with a call to ACTION. After all, there is no sense learning stuff if we don’t do anything with what we …

The renaissance is here, and it brought ice-cream! So, here’s the idea: Ideas. Unfiltered, unencumbered, and unapologetically enthusiastic ideas. Ideas that lead to grease-smeared hands, lavender sorbet, things that go bang, clouds of steam, those goggle-marks you see on crazy chemistry geeks, and some guy (or girl) in the background juggling and swinging from a trapeze. We are a collective of intellectual eccentrics, passionate about learning and our various (and yes, I mean various) arts. Wal …

Enron. The BP oil spill. The financial crisis. Wall Street vs. Main Street. Lately, we can’t seem to find a newspaper that hasn’t written a story about big corporations and bad behavior. Not surprisingly, trust amongst consumers is at an all time low. But in reality, more and more businesses are using their resources to do good in the world, and a new breed of entrepreneurs and enterprises are emerging whose operations directly provide a net benefit to society. Some of these organizations are fo …

Someone once said, how you show up in bed is the way you show up in your life. What if you could make small changes to your sex life and have the results affect your life as a whole? What is Soul Sex? First of all, it’s not what you think. It’s not about having some pie-in-the-sky spiritual experience. It’s about being embodied + fully alive from the bottom up. (Pun intended!) Soul Sex is about bringing mindfulness into every aspect of our daily lives; about living a life that’s in alignment wit …
