Laid Back Lively Ladies--it's a bit of a contradiction, isn't it? But it couldn't be more perfect. Most women have incredibly diverse interests--enjoying an occasional night on the town but also loving a casual movie night or a girl’s night in. This group is for women for whatever reason have looked around and realized, “Hm--I don’t have many girlfriends anymore.” Perhaps you are in this funny stage between college and marriage, or post-divorce. Or maybe through the years your friendships ha …

Carve out a little time for yourself on Sunday evenings and relax with us while working away on that favorite yarn project of yours. This group is intended for knitters (or similar crafters) of all skill levels. It's a low-key group so there's no need to apply lipstick or read up on current events before joining us.  Come as you are and enjoy 90 minutes of time to unwind and chat.

Why hello, prospective new Nomad. More than a year ago, Mark & I started this group hoping to make a few new friends to enjoy all of San Francisco's cafe's and parks. We now have more than a handful of regulars, a few decafs, and a couple tea-drinkers joining us for the sunshine. Now that we sort of know what our group is all about, this is 'us', and who we hope to be someday: We're mostly 25-45y.o. folks who live in the city. A few of us know a lot about coffee, one of us even knows many of th …

This is a group for women in their 30s who feel they are going through major transitions in life, i.e., career, family, new home, friendships/relationships, spirituality, etc. As a woman in my 30's, I definitely experienced this transition and I am still going through it now. It seems that the 30's is such an important stage in life when you are redefining yourself, establishing yourself and asserting who you are as an adult in the world. My purpose in creating this group is to create a space fo …

This group is for any new, expecting or seasoned moms in the Richmond District who are home during the day - WFH and SAH! We go walking, explore GG Park, enjoy the many small playgrounds, or just get together for tea and coffee. Activities are baby and kid friendly, except for the occasional moms' night out. Come enjoy new friends and adventures with us!

There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …

Every time I go to the local coffee shops during the weekday, I notice how almost everyone is staring at their computer screen rather than socializing. The idea here is to change that. I've noticed a lot of people work from home in this part of the East Bay and thought it would be nice to organize the occasional meetup at a local coffee shop to take a break from the screen and meet some new people in the neighborhood.

This is a group for musicians, beginning through experienced, to come together to practice their music. For those beginning musicians who just need a little moral support as they bow through technique drills or wind/string instrumentalists who are working on some cool riff, scales or arpeggios, etude studies, audition pieces,... Or for those who want someone to play a duet together... Or maybe a little company every now and then on their regular sound proof room practice sessions. Classical, sym …

Calling all knitters -- from accomplished knitters to people who'd like to learn. We meet every Monday at 7 PM at the San Francisco Shambhala Meditation Center. We start with a few minutes of meditation and then get down to knitting, teaching and learning. We have a lending library of needles and patterns, and there's lots of yarn that's been donated by our members. We're working to create a safe, warm and compassionate environment where knitting can manifest as an expression of caring for other …

Let's get together and drink some traditional Turkish coffee and tea

We love spontaneously bringing people together through storytelling and sharing artisan cups of coffee. We try to keep things simple: We focus on people, coffee, and stories.

This group is designed for ladies (age 25-35) who live in East Bay that are interested in being more social and making new friends. Although the organizers are new to the area, newbies as well as locals are invited to join! If you're an outgoing party person, this isn't the group for you. We are relaxed, low-maintenance, no drama ladies who are more on the introverted side. This is a LOW-KEY, KICK-BACK GROUP! Our goal is to meet new girlfriends, have fun and (if we're fortunate enough) make long …

Fellow H4 holders in San Francisco! Let's get together and bitch about this stupid visa. Or just have a coffee and get out of the house. Might also be a good opportunity to network with our fellow skilled internationals. Sounds good, yes? Meet soon.

Attention: Tea Lovers of East Bay. Finally, a group in the East Bay that cares about tea, pastries, coffee, and other things. We are a group of rebels who do not take tea lightly; we could... but we don't! This group is about enjoying a good cup of tea in the company of others who appreciate a good cup of tea. We stand or sit for freedom and pastries, with a good cup of tea (or coffee) in our hands, in good company. There may also be conversations, preferably, about nothing in particular.

We folks that work from home are the envy of many - we've largely escaped the 'rat race', or at least the commuting and office politics part of it! Some of us work for a company, others work for themselves. Our time is more our own, and we can decide whether or not to check our email in our pajamas. Working from home is great, but sometimes it's nice to get out. Away from the house, and the cat or dog. Oh, and if you do want to get together for a cup of coffee with a friend at 230 PM - everyone …
