Tired of spending your evening socializing with others talking about the weather, your job, or the big game. Prefer to have a deep and meaningful conversation instead? We could talk about politics, science, spirituality, the environment, the male/female relationship, or the nature of the universe. Heck, we could even have a meaningful conversation about meaninglessness. Come join us, help us choose something fun and meaningful to talk about, and lets get in there deep over a cup of tea, or a …

This is a low key, FREE, and FUN knitting group that will meet regularly in the Burlington area.

This group is for knitters and crocheters of all levels. We can use this venue to let others know about upcoming knitting events organized by the meetup group, as well as …

This group is about skiing and riding to meet new people. As many people now have passes or enjoy regularly heading to the mountain, I thought it would be a great time to have people meet up. Skiing and riding in packs is always more fun! It would also be excellent to get together post runs for beers and food. Anyone who likes to ride or ski at Sugarbush and enjoys meeting new people should join us in the group!

Looking to start up a weekly or bi-weekly low stakes, friendly poker game for people in their 20's or 30's. Texas Hold-Em, low buy-ins, casual, fun, maybe some drinks/snacks. We're new to the area and thought it might be a fun way to make friends! We could host here in our Colchester place to start and maybe we could rotate the hosting.

Moving towards raw foods is exciting and exhilirating! It is also a big change that can be challenging and at times isolating. As a Certified Raw Food Chef I have learned techniques and skills to help others successfully transition to a healthier lifestyle. In my journey to the raw food lifestyle I found it helpful to find great teachers and friends who were able to support me on this path. I want to create a community in New Hampshire and Greater New England of conscious eaters by offering r …

Come play dodgeball with other young professionals and have a blast! Coed, low competitiveness but lots of fun. Balls are a soft foam that you can throw accurately but won't hurt when hit. This group has been successfully meeting up for over 3 years now. Most people haven't played in years so all experience levels are welcome as we are not a competitive league, but love to meet new people and have a great time! www.vermontdodgeball.com -Dan

The plan is to meet up once a month and sample the tasty offerings of Burlington and Vermont alike. The first meet up is scheduled for the first week of November. Come one, come all!

HI! I started this group as I have a small group of friends who like to wall climb at Petra Cliffs, except we cant all go at the same time, so we want to increase the size so there is always someone to climb with. Begineers or experts, there is always something to learn. One of the many cool things about this sport is that all levels can climb together, cause it is only one person on the wall at one time, with the other person either spotting or belaying you. If you have never gone before, you …
