This group is about Exploring Life in the
Hemingway Tradition
with an emphasis on Culture, Continuing Education
and
The Occasional Adventure.

Life is not a spectator sport.

This group was created to encourage exploration of and participation in cultural and educational opportunities in the Greater Cambridge area and occasionally further afield. All events are open to attendance by anyone. Viewers of this site, whether they choose to join the CMF or not, may attend any of the events. Members may RSVP or not, and still attend the events. There are no requirements either for membership or for attendance. Members do, however, receive event reminders - and members are encouraged to actually meet up!
The CMF Meet-Ups are member-driven; that is, if you would like to meet up with other members, it is up to you, as a member, to post your plans on the event message board. I am not able to attend every event, so if no one posts plans, then no one meets up.
:: :: ::
The Cambridge Moveable Feast is geared more toward Traditional Cultural and Educational Events rather than Pop, Abstract, Postmodernist or Techno-Culture.

Note : If you have a question that doesn't affect the rest of the group, Please email me directly using the link to the left. Everyone else gets enough email as it is. Thanks.
Further Note : Occasionally, events are cancelled by the event sponsor. The CMF neither sponsors nor cancels events. Should an event be cancelled, the event will be removed from the calendar. However, the CMF is not always notified of cancellations. Please confirm, prior to attending, the time and location of the event from the event sponsor.
Also : Some events require pre-registration through the event sponsor. A "Yes" RSVP here is NOT pre-registration. Attendees must still pre-register individually through the event sponsor. Usually there will be a link to the event sponsor's website for pre-registration.

The Cambridge Moveable Feast has no political, commercial, academic or spiritual affiliations of any kind.

"It was wonderful to walk down the long flights of stairs knowing that I'd had good luck working. I always worked until I had something done and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day. But sometimes when I was started on a new story and I could not get going, I would sit in front of the fire and squeeze the peel of the little oranges into the edge of the flame and watch the sputter of blue that they made. I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, "Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know." So finally I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there. It was easy then because there was always one true sentence that I knew or had seen or had heard someone say. If I started to write elaborately, or like someone introducing or presenting something, I found that I could cut the scrollwork or ornament out and throw it away and start with the first true simple declarative sentence I had written." - Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

"Men (sic) have sought to make a world from their own conception and to draw from their own minds all the material which they employed, but if, instead of doing so, they had consulted experience and observation, they would have the facts and not opinions to reason about, and might have ultimately arrived at the knowledge of the laws which govern the material world." - Francis Bacon
