Metaphor is always with us in: what we read and write; what we see in media, film, T.V. and photography; in all forms of the arts, including the art of telling our stories from poetry to cultural fables to personal story, but it is also embedded in psychology and education. Metaphors are powerful and enrich our lives, but they also can have destructive impacts or sell us down the garden path making us think we need things that we don't. This Meetup will look at the art of metaphor. I will bring …

Welcome to Electronically Bent MSP. Surprisingly, there is not a single Meet-up group for electronic music in the Minneapolis-St Paul metro area.

You knew it was just a matter of time... This meetup started in the fall of 2007 to help organize the supporters of Ron Paul prior to the 2008 caucuses. In September 2008 hundreds of attendees of the Rally for the Republic met at Jäger until the early morning hours. Since then, Tuesday nights at Clubhouse Jäger have become somewhat of a tradition, with republicans, democrats, socialists, greens, independents and anarchists of all hyphenated adjectives getting together to discuss politics, econ …

Often intergenerational, and with a sustainable-living focus. For residents of Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Do you enjoy the arts, crafts or gardening? The experience of making - or simply appreciating art can be healing. In times of stress, I've found that the act of creating (whether a drawing, painting, collage or a garden) is calming and restorative. We'll plan a variety of activities. Your ideas are welcome. This may be an opportunity to share your skill or learn a new one. The group is open to everyone - no previous experience necessary.
