The ideas can be from any field whatsoever (music, science, art, inventions, literature, entrepreneurship, society, film, psychology, or just about anything else), and they may range from the somewhat serious and sensible ... all the way to totally outrageous, bizarre and zany. Everyone else will listen and ask questions. They'll take the idea …

Hi Everyone! This group is designed, really, as a meeting place for people who are interested in meeting new friends in Toronto and love to read, or talk about other cool hobbies like makeup and shopping. The Book club will focus on fun and light literature (i.e. if Tolstoy is your thang, maybe this meetup is not?). Books that I have in mind are the Harry Potter Series, the Shopaholic series, and any other fun fiction or chick lit that you might be interested in! Ages 20-30 preferred :)
Many of us aspire to be creative in one form or another but we carry within us hindrances to either doing our work or releasing it out into the world. At times we may believe we're not good enough, that our work lacks meaning, isn't perfected, or we don't have enough talent and imagination to acheive what we desire. It may be that we fear criticism, failure and rejection, or perhaps resistant to change and success. Ultimately, the thoughts we think and the beliefs we hold, are what's holding us …

We’ll experiment with a number of interesting techniques in order to improve our own non-verbal communication skills …

Hi, and Welcome. My name is Fran, and I'm a singer-songwriter who writes from the soul. I've been singing "soul-songs" since I was a little kid, and I've always been aware my songs reveal my hopes, fears and dreams in deep, truthful and often mysterious ways. Stories and myths have always figured heavily in my life. I studied English literature in University and I taught Bible and Jewish folklore to elementary school kids for well over a decade. I have also worked as a professional storytel …

Do you enjoy reading fiction books with nice like minded people....come out and share your reading choices in central North York. The location in mind is both TTC accessible and with free parking. Many live along the Bathurst Street and Yonge Street corridor but north of Eglinton. Why shlep out downtown when you can just come around the corner.
“Truly fine poetry must be read aloud. A good poem does not allow itself to be read in a low voice or silently. If we can read it silently, it is not a valid poem: a poem demands pronunciation. Poetry always remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art. It remembers that it was first song." Jorge Luis Borges This is a meetup group for people who like to read, and be read to. Everyone is welcome! Bring a passage or two that you like and recite it with the group, then we can tal …
