What we’re about
This group is for everyone who wants to get out and explore all of the amazing events and activities along our Coast. We plan events around the Orange County Coastline, from Long Beach down to San Clemente. Our events can range from meeting for coffee, trying new venues, lunch spots, dinner hot spots, wine tasting, breweries, stand up paddle boarding, bike riding, hiking, beach yoga, studio yoga, boating, beach bon fires, bowling, and so much more. The list is endless the amazing experiences we can have here along our gorgeous SoCal coast!
This group is for anyone who has a busy life and needs a social life or if you are new to Orange County and looking to meet new friends or you have lived here for a long time and want to meet new people, this group is for you! Bring your friends or come alone, we are excited to build this group and plan some great activities.
So many of us have personal struggles and none of us have it easy or perfect but with the right group of friends and a positive attitude we can support each other and bring joy to each other for those moments we share experiences together. We ask that everyone come to the group with a positive outlook and attitude and not to bring any strong opinions of politics or religion into the group and to respect each other’s values and beliefs if they differ from their own.
If you RSVP and decide you can’t make it, not a problem, we understand, just make sure you change your RSVP to not attending. There will be events that require a headcount so it would be appreciated that you please try to not be a no show for the events that require a certain amount of us to commit. Thanks so much and look forward to meeting you!

SOUL CENTER OC, 2082 Business Center Drive, Irvine, CA, USSoul Center, where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Spirituality
40+ Attendees - Also Streamed Live at 5:00 (Details Below)
What if Christmas isn’t just about one person’s story, but about awakening something beautiful within all of us? Join us for a special Christmas Eve celebration that goes beyond traditional religion to explore the deeper magic of this season. Whether you’re spiritual, skeptical, or simply curious, you’re welcome here.
We believe the Christmas story points to something universal: a divine spark that lives in every human heart, waiting to awaken. It’s not about believing the “right” things – it’s about experiencing your own inner light.
OUR EVENING INCLUDES:
• A peaceful candlelight meditation to quiet the noise of the season
• Live music that touches the soul
• A meaningful message about awakening to your highest self
• A warm, inclusive community that celebrates seekers of all backgrounds
This is an interfaith, non-denominational, family-friendly gathering where ancient wisdom meets modern spirituality. No religious requirements – just come as you are.
PARENTS - BRING YOUR KIDS!
Children welcome. No kids’ program, but our service is designed for the whole family.

MEDITATION
We have heard and read of the positive benefits from Meditation. Meditation can help slow the mind and open the heart. The only thing we control is our attitude. Personal changes and transformation are an ‘Inside Job’. Go within as we attract not what we want but what we are.
Physical Benefits of Meditation
With meditation, the physiology undergoes a change and every cell in the body is filled with more energy. This results in joy, peace, enthusiasm as the level of energy in the body increases.
On a physical level, meditation:
· Lowers high blood pressure
· Lowers the levels of blood lactate, reducing anxiety attacks
· Decreases tension-related pain, such as, tension headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint problems
· Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior
· Improves the immune system
· Increases the energy level, as you gain an inner source of energy
Mental Benefits of Meditation
Meditation brings the brainwave pattern into a relaxed state that promotes healing. The mind becomes fresh, delicate and beautiful. With regular practice of meditation:
· Anxiety decreases
· Emotional stability improves
· Creativity increases
· Happiness increases
· Intuition develops
· Gain clarity
· Problems become smaller
Meditation sharpens the mind by increasing focus and expands through relaxation A sharp mind without expansion causes tension, anger and frustration An expanded consciousness without sharpness can lead to lack of action/progress The balance of a sharp mind and an expanded consciousness brings perfection Meditation makes you aware - that your inner attitude determines your happiness.36 attendees
