In the oldest tradition of writers groups from the past The Inklings, The Bloomsbury Group, Algonquin Round Table, Shakespeare And Company Writers and Ciao Domenica (i.e. In 1816 Percy Shelley and Mary Shelley spent a summer with Lord Byron, John William Polidori, and Claire Clairmont creating some of the most important fiction in the English language.)

Cinema-Femina is a do-it-yourself meetup group that encourages it's members to scout out and see films made by and about women. It's all about watching movies, making friends, having lively discussions and, perhaps most importantly, it's about supporting the filmmakers themselves. Female filmmakers NEED US! They need us to buy tickets the FIRST WEEK their films hit the theaters. Those numbers will determine whether that filmmaker will ever get a distribution deal again. Sucks, huh? But here's th …

How many people live, work, play, or just pass through New Jersey's Great Swamp region every day? The answer is "a lot." (Just think about the I-287 corridor from Bernardsville to Morristown, and you'll have a better idea.)

Hopefully, this group can remedy the situation by getting more people out to experience and learn about Great Swamp, its wild inhabitants, and …

This is a group for anyone who enjoys reading books on personal improvement and spirituality, but too often has no one to discuss them with! Sometimes sharing these ideas with other like-minded seekers is the only way to truly manifest them in your life and to bring about positive change.
