This group is for those people in Austin who are interested in studying Druidry/Druidism from a uniquely Welsh perspective. The outer form of this group is mainly based on the teachings of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids, yet is based on a firm historical grasp of the uniquely Welsh form of Druidry. The focus of this group is to build community between those of the Druid path and to share our skills and experiences as we walk through the grove. This group will be in English with the oppor …

Enlightenment was a cultural movement of intellectuals in 18th century, first in Europe and later in the American colonies. Its purpose was to reform society using reason rather than tradition, faith and revelation. It promoted science and intellectual interchange and opposed superstition, intolerance and some abuses by church and state. Deism is the belief in a creator, but not revealed religion. Through reason and science we can explore the wonders of God's creation, but we cannot discover the …

She was tired of constantly having to prove herself and decided that she just wanted a change and to be treated just the same as any other geek out there, gender and age aside. After all to be geeky is to be intelligent, have passion for a subject and to know that subject in depth. It’s not at al …

So what does being a hippie mean?  The dictionary defines it as "A person who opposes and rejects many of the conventional standards and customs of society, especially one who advocates extreme liberalism in sociopolitical attitudes and lifestyles."   hmmm.  I like to think of it in simpler terms "peace, love, happiness and hippies."

The lingering effects of early fundamentalist religion can be long, subtle and profound. Often covered over by a more liberal world view upon leaving one's youth, adults who have survived a fierce and angry God will often struggle with undue shame and self-doubt, difficulty in self-forgiveness and mistrust of their own inherent authority. Rarely, if ever, do the stories of survivors get told, and even more rare, survivors often fail to realize empathy for what they have suffered. This Meet Up of …
