We are a new social group for friendship, networking, adventure and dining in the PDX metro area! Our emphasis is on cultural, active, innovative experiences.

My husband and I had our first child, Jesse, on June 23, 2010. We quickly noticed how much being a parent changes some of your friendships when your friends do not have children! We would like to meet other couples who would enjoy an occasional evening out as well as different get-togethers with the babies. We would like to keep the group limited to babies born in 2010 to first-time parents. Our hope is for all of us and our children to build long-lasting friendships with each other. Maybe somed …

Are you an empty nester looking to meet new friends and start that next chapter in your life?  When my daughter moved on to college a couple of years ago I realized that most of my women friends were those I associated with at school functions, band functions, etc. and I no longer had as much contact with them now that our kids were off on their own.  So I decided to try and form a meetup group for women at a similar stage in life as myself to develop some new friendships.  I would like to sched …

… This is not intended to be a group for meeting potential partners, though I expect many of us will form significant friendships based on sharing our ideas and ideals as we grapple with these topics and how they impact our lives. In 2009, I led a similar group, some of the books we covered included: "Opening Up" by Tristan Taormino "Hot Monogamy" by Patricia Love & Jo Robinson "Polyamory: The New Love Without Limits" by Deborah Anapol "The Ethical Slut, 2nd edition" by Janet Hardy and Dossie East …

As a women, I feel it is a privilege to be able to create a warm, safe and entertaining enviornment for my husband, my family and my friends. I found a wonder tool that helps me stay on track and it is a book called "Simple Abundance" by Sarah Ban Breathnach. It suggests how daily life can be an expression of your authentic self...which I think is the most honest way a women can live her life. The book starts in January and has evocative essays for every day of the year. This is not a Moms group …
