Wilmington Health Nuts
This is a unique group based around fitness, health and exercise. We offer our members the chance to do all kinds of different things to get into shape, get active and, most importantly, get off the couch and live!! Who says you have to join the gym or run for endless miles on a treadmill to get into shape. Wilmington Health Nuts is a group dedicated to giving you opportunities to explore and try new things. We are planning a wide array of different experiences from gentle yoga to much more challenging types of exercise like functional strength, or martial arts training. Some events may not even be considered mainstream fitness activities like paintball, but they still get you up and moving about. Most events will be free as we are promoting local gyms, fitness experts, and other businesses. Not only will you get to have some fun and get active but you'll meet some great people along your journey. Nearly all events are donated by the business owners so if you RSVP, please make sure you can attend as there are limited spaces available for each event and we do not want to be disrespectful to any of the businesses or other members who really want to take part. If you own a health oriented business and would like to have us at your location, please contact us. We are respectful of our members so please do not email group members personally with sales promotions or promote your products on this site without authorization as this will be grounds for termination of membership. If you want to promote a health or fitness related product or activity on this site please contact the organizer and we can put you on the calendar to do a workshop or event.

The Wilmington Peace Group
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE THROUGH NONVIOLENCE We are pro-peace! The present purpose of this group is to create a network of peace activists in southeastern North Carolina working for peace abroad and at home. "We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. World peace must develop out of inner peace. Without inner peace it is impossible to achieve world peace, external peace. Weapons themselves do not act. They have not come out of the blue. Man has made them. But even given those weapons, those terrible weapons, they cannot act by themselves. As long as they are left alone in storage they cannot do any harm. A human being must use them. Someone must push the button. Satan, the evil powers, cannot push that button. Human beings must do it." --The Dalai Lama, in The Dalai Lama: A Policy of Kindness http://zoomclouds.egrupos.net/w_p_m/viewCloud/0

As once said by President Thomas Jefferson "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered"-Thomas Jefferson (1802)Constitutional Patriots stand against the rising tide of socialism/fascism, the "progressive" movement which is destroying our constitution and our country at meteoric speed! We are patriotic neighbors standing together to preserve our US Constitution, to defend and uphold our unalienable rights. Our rights and our freedoms come from GOD ALMIGHTY,... period. IF these rights and freedoms were endowed by the government leaders then government leaders would be God. We do this to protect our sacred gift from God, freedom for all. We do this for our children and for our children's children. We do this for all those who have fallen for freedom's sake. We do this because we love our country.

Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place." "You cannot bring prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot further brotherhood of men by inciting class hatred. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves." Rev. William J. H. Boetcker ""Many Americans are looking to the new administration to solve our economic problems. Unfortunately, that is probably a vain hope. Although we were promised "change," we are only getting a continuation of the same superficial economic fixes that have damaged so many economies in the past, and that will only delay the return of prosperity. These fixes are based on the false belief that the free-market economy has failed. But it is not the market that has failed. It is intervention into the market that has failed. The FEDERAL RESERVE and its manipulation of money and interest rates have failed. None of this can be blamed on the free market." Sen.

Natural Oils Essential to Life
The vision of this group is to gather together people from all over the planet to share information, stories, experiences, miracles and enthusiasm regarding the use of certified pure, therapeutic grade essential oils. My strong desire to help others to learn how to heal themselves has led me to study many healing modalities that include Nutrition, Aromatherapy, Craniosacral, Bowen Therapy, EFT, UltraMind, SRT, The Reconnection, Reiki, etc. It is important to me for people to feel empowered both with their own health and their finances. It saddens me to see so many people handing hundreds or thousands of dollars over to others when they have the power to treat themselves and their families. I have been using essential oils for over 15 years, primarily because I enjoyed their scents. They were all sold to me as pure and all therapeutic grade, but I never noticed any healing benefits from using them. It wasn't until last year, when I discovered (CPTG) Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils, that I experienced healing from the organic compounds within these oils that actually heal our bodies. A very dear friend of mine, who has guided me to take profoundly life-altering paths, asked me to try certified pure, essential oils when my son became ill. Every year, for 8 years, my son had contracted a lung-based virus that inevitably turned into a lung infection that had to be treated with antibiotics. I jumped at the opportunity to try something with my son that could prevent him from having his annually and sometimes bi-annually does of antibiotics. Within 24 hours, his cough was gone. There was no expensive visit to the urgent care, no expensive medication, and no side effects. I was elated and became a believer!! Antibiotics contain up to 3 compounds and are viewed by the body as foreign. As most of us know, antibiotics can have many adverse side effects and the way our bodies view them as foreign is a huge factor. Certified pure, therapeutic grade essential oils can contain hundreds of compounds that are readily accepted by our cells because their compounds are combined by nature and our bodies know how to use them. Within 30 seconds, the oils are absorbed into our system either aromatically, ingested or topically. You will receive immediate benefit from using them and have no side-effects. I would like to impress upon you that a certified pure therapeutic grade essential oil is the only oil that is tested twice by an outside agency to ensure that EVERY VIAL of EVERY BATCH is pure. This second test, called a mass spectrometry test, ensures that each vial is free of chemicals, synthetics, foreign impurities (ie: weeds, etc.) and that the proper amount of compounds is present that should be present in the indigenous plant. Plants are most potent in their indigenous areas. Other companies either do not test as thoroughly or every batch, or they do their testing in-house, which invalidates the validity of the test. I was a buyer for a major importing company for several years. Our vendors always sent the top-of-the-line product when they were trying to gain our business. After that point, I cannot count the number of times that we had to send shipments back to the vendors because the quality was not what was promised. Had we not been diligent about inspecting every shipment, our stores would have been full of junk. I believe that all of the essential oil companies who do NOT test every vial of every batch are allowing the possibility of selling products that are as pure as they believe. Relying on the vendors to consistently provide the same quality of product as they did during the initiation stage is negligent. Your nose will know the difference in a therapeutic grade product and a certified pure, therapeutic grade product, and the rest of your body will know too.

Healing Arts in the Wilmington Healing Community
We live in a very promising time. It is also a very challenging time. At least that’s how it looks like to us humans. It’s a time when the human spirit is triumphing and books are being rewritten. Love, sharing & the healing of our fellow man is becoming what is normal. The other side of this coin is a reality full of people who are hurting - who are hurting other people who are hurting. It is causing a great disturbance that is rooted in the spiritual & that manifests physically as war, disease and famine - all of it. I am coming to you here to say that I hope we can band together and find common interests & be the healers for ourselves and everyone in the human community. We are making the shift from hurting to healing - healing the healers. It is a way to have a place and a purpose in the shifting of consciousness and the triumph of the human spirit. Some of these words came from one description, which I really like. Someone else in another Meetup community has created it a while ago. These words are well chosen; they sound so good and fill the heart with such a freshness of depths & heights, with an incredible sense of oneness in the truth. I think it will be helpful to keep these thoughts foremost in our group. I just edited it a little and added some words for today’s time. I believe this community will become a place where talented & heart-centered people will meet & find others like themselves! I look forward to meet with you guys! My heart is wishing for your continued involvement & support! And at the moment when this community is giving birth to itself, I would like to introduce myself. Valentina Borodina Iourtchenko — BIOGRAPHY Valentina Borodina Iourtchenko is an internationally known Russian healer, medical intuitive, therapist, teacher and scientist. She is also a poet and writer (prose-essays, novels, science fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, as well as studies in herbology, relationships, healing and the hidden gifts and talents for daily life). Valentina was born and lived much of her life in southwest Siberia. Her grandmother trained her from an early age in the traditional arts of herbology and healing. This later expanded to include homeopathy and bio-energetic healing through gentle body adjustment — a very deep and advanced form of treatment and psychotherapy that penetrates to the body’s awareness where the blockages and roots of any condition reside. This cellular healing of emotional blockages and physical illnesses is created without medication. Valentina describes each experience so the client can fully participate in the transition processes — a counseling and energy work that opens up conscious awareness. The depths of love, the unclaimed gifts of the soul and knowing of God arise in her work. With her Russian spiritual tradition, Valentina learned more about herbology and homeopathy in high school and University studies. She greatly expanded her medical understanding through her doctoral studies; all the while using medical knowledge and personal research to enhance the traditional methods she had been taught. The basis of all of her efforts, however, is her amazing love… where a healer’s gifts reveal themselves in the depth of his or her work. In 1981, she received her master’s degree in Kemerovo, Russia where she specialized in anatomy, physiology and psychology. Her extensive research in environmental pollution and its effects on the physical body, combined with her knowledge of natural remedies, led to the treatment of radiation, pollution illnesses, aging diseases, work related illnesses and disease prevention. From 1982 to 1986 Valentina continued her research at the Medical Research Institute at the Medical Academy of Russia. Through blood analysis and other biochemical functions, she researched the role that heavy metals and other pollutants play in interfering with the natural detoxification processes of the body. In 1985, while working on her PhD in medical biochemistry at the government's Cardiology Scientific and Medical Center in Moscow, she began deeper research into how heart failure, multi-organ toxicity and other health disorders affect other body systems. Herbs became the key, linking the allopathic and alternative forms of medicine. Valentina proceeded to study the effects of toxicity and stress on the physical system and how energy healing can restore the body to its natural cycles for greater balance and wellness. Valentina has been teaching and sharing her gifts with people of all ages worldwide for the past 30 years. Currently she spends her time between her private practice in America, Canada and Europe, her workshops offered worldwide and her charitable work in Russia. More then 20 Russian orphanages and Elder People Living Houses are touched with her love and care, and that of her Russian and American friends in a network Valentina created as a bridge of love between Russia and America.

The Christian Party of North Carolina for the New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick County Area www.ChristianPartyNC.com Concerned that there is not a Christian voice in our government? Join with other Christians to make a difference by promoting family values in our country. The purpose of this Meetup group is to bring Christians together who want to see real change politically that glorifies the Lord and restores the Constitution to its rightful place. Our churches are limited in promoting a Christian voice in politics because of their non-profit status so we need to have a forum outside of the church. Our solution-oriented Meetup group will increase awareness for the Christian Party of North Carolina, a conservative, Bible-based organization. The Christian Party of North Carolina defends the Right to Bear Arms, takes a 100% Pro-Life position, stands for eliminating unconstitutional spending by the federal government (like bailouts), and promotes a strong Military for the protection of our country. We are the NC state affiliate of the Constitution Party of America at www.constitutionpartyofamerica.com. Our Christian Party of North Carolina video can be viewed at www.youtube.com/user/ChristianPartyNC#p/a/u/1/76lh47z0v9I. You can join this Meetup group without having to join the Christian Party of North Carolina (www.ChristianPartyNC.com) or the Constitution Party of America. A change in voter registration is not required to join. Also please take a look at our "About" page to see how you can get involved. Also please note that the Constitution Party of America is a national organization headquartered in Texas and is Christian and 100% Pro-life, unlike the organization of a similar name headqurtered in Pennsylvania that is not Christian or 100% Pro-life. Thank you for what you are doing to make a difference in our country as a Christian.Not Paid for by Any Candidate or Candidate Committee Not Paid for by Any Candidate or Candidate Committee

The Wilmington Conscious Business & Marketing Group
Adrian Varnam and Eryn DeFoort recently met at a Wilmington Meet-Up Group and quickly discovered they had a shared passion for the new era of marketing: the radical turn in trends that proves that the easiest way to reach your potential clients is to share your passion for your business in a totally transparent way. This "New Era of Marketing" has shown us that unique, off-the-wall ideas do have a chance to succeed, that a down economy truly is the best time to try something different, that full disclosure always works better than a slick façade, and that giving with gratitude actually increases your bottom line. Our Conscious Business meetup group is for small business owners who desire more from their businesses, more from themselves, more from their community, and wish to grow their reach and their brand more authentically and more consciously. For more information about our respective companies, please visit Varnam Marketing and www.eryndefoort.com.

Cape Fear Natives
Cape Fear Natives are interested in discovering, exploring and protecting our native habitats and species. You don't have to be born here to have the Native spirit ... it's about having a curious mind, a sense of adventure, and a respect for nature's wonders. So transplants and actual natives are all welcome! Our Meetup group's purpose is to learn about, enjoy and protect our natural environment. When we can, we will volunteer with local groups to help with conservation and education efforts. Many of these groups are short on staff and need volunteers. Some of our activities might include planting rain gardens, bagging oyster shells or staffing festival booths. We will be advocates for the native species and habitats that rely on our community's efforts to protect and preserve them. We need to step up our awareness and our involvement so that we, not to mention future generations, can continue to enjoy our awesome coast. If you want to learn more and make a difference, join us!! A question to ponder... what if your own habitat and survival depended on us humans?

The Wilmington Legion of Technology Advancement
This group's purpose is to gather those of us who want to help close the digital divide and make Wilmington become a more technologically advanced community. In Wilmington, there are many people who do not have personal computers or the skills necessary to use computers effectively. Also, we do not have much choice when it comes to internet providers and the wi-fi available is not all it could be. One project I hope to begin with this group involves refurbishing computers, installing a very simple OS (I like Jolicloud personally), having a 4-6 session class where students can learn to use the computers and then take the computers home. Another opportunity for volunteering is teaching computer skills to seniors. I've taught a couple of 6 week classes and it is really fun and rewarding. Those are my specialty areas, but this group is for all things involving computers and the internet. It would be great for people who have diverse ideas and goals to join this group and together we can help Wilmington become more technologically advanced.

Let's Stay Together! - Coastal Couples
Our group will be made up of couples who found themselves without other couples to hang out with on the weekends and/or simply wanted to rebuild a close circle of friends. As the founder of the group, after moving to this area with my husband, we found ourselves without a local circle of friends that were married to spend time with. I was positive we weren't the only ones in this situation. So, I decided to ... do something about it and decided to create this group. **This group is intended for "Serious" couples & Married Couples in their 20's and 30's** Every Couple deserves some "Date Night" time away from the hustle and bustle of work, obligations and kids. Come join us as we Get Together to Get Away from our everyday life. Whether it is just for an hour during the week or hanging out on the weekends, this group will be dedicated to giving couples the opportunity to take a minute for themselves, while enjoying the company of other FUN adults. Each month we will have different "Date Night" adventures. Such as: Happy Hours, Movies, Bowling, Karaoke, Sporting events, Game nights, Day Trips and so much more!

Children with Asperger's Play group
I am the grandmother/guardian of a 9 year old boy who has aspergers syndrome. He is a very high functioning child however, it is hard to find playmates. I am sure that there are other Mom's/Grandmothers out there that find the same issue in their home. I am wanting to begin a play group for these children that will meet on a Saturday when the children are off of school and at home, finding that no one wants to play with them and the pain of being slightly different than the norm affects their world. If you are interested please email me and lets see if we can become a solid world of companions for our children. There is not an age limit as I am believing that this group can grow and support all ages.

Wilmington Teen Homeschoolers Meetup Group
I would like to start this group because I am the father of a 15 year old daughter who home-schools but has no social life. I know she cannot be the only one in Wilmington so my hope is to get a group of us together semi-regularly for the purpose of allowing our children the ability to have a social life. If you have a teenager in home-school and are concerned for their social happiness, please feel free to contact me so we can plan some events. This obviously would also allow for socializing of parents as well and we may be able to come up with creative ways to crystallize friendships for our children.

Mothers United - Wilmington
Want to make a difference in your world, but feel you just don't have the time? So do we! We are mothers who are concerned about the current implications of bad air and water quality in our communities. We have decided to form a group of caring moms and get together to discuss information, share news, stand up for our children's health, and just enjoy each other's company. We realized that we have so much information at our finger tips, but it can be very overwhelming (and time consuming) as a mother to sort through it all and to figure out what is best for our kids. That's why we decided not to individually reinvent the wheel. If we all get together when we can, spend time with our kids, share information and take action together, we can inspire each other to get out there and really make a difference. Because in the end, no one else is going to fight for our children but ourselves. We focus on improving local issues such as air quality, water quality and any other way we can improve the health of our community. We know that it is hard to stay informed and involved on our own, so we try to make it easy to stay educated and have fun with our families! We support each other in our quest to do what is best for our children. Like most moms, we are avid multi-taskers - Through Mom Night Outs and playdates, we combine family time, fun and action! Try us - I really think you will feel like you are making a difference for your child. Our Mission: We are uncompromising defenders of our children's health. Our intent is to ensure that our children, whose lives are entrusted to us, have a healthy environment in which to grow and flourish. Join us ~ we know you care too!

MMA Fans of Wilmington
Greetings fellow MMA fans! I'm new to the area and am looking for fellow fans of MMA to have viewing parties (your place, my place, or Buffalo Wild Wings/Hooters). I'd like to hear from anyone interested but ideally you are a super-fan who follows not only the UFC but also Strikeforce, Bellator, DREAM, and other local/regional/national/international MMA promotions. If you're just into the UFC, that's cool too. I'm trying to cut the cost of watching a PPV by myself as they run about $60 in HD and meeting some cool people in the Wilmington area will be an added bonus. Are you in a similar position? Tired of watching grainy, choppy feeds on the internet? Join the group and let's get together watch some fights, discuss the sport, make predictions, and save some money.

North Carolina Educators
A description of this group would include North Carolina educators that want to improve the working conditions in our profession. Improvements would include receiving our current step pay, receiving a pay raise that makes North Carolina competitive with most states in the country, improving our health insurance instead of reducing benefits and reducing class size. These topics are just a few that could be negotiated. Any and all topics are welcome, as well as ideas as to how we can achieve our goals. Any educator or person who is involved with education should consider joining this group. Educators are continually asked to do more with less. If you are tired of the status quo, then your voice needs to be heard!

Healing after birth
Birth can hit us hard and leave us reeling in overwhelm. Maybe you were unprepared for birth. Maybe you had a plan but things didn't go accordingly. Even if you had a beautiful, empowering birth experience the postpartum transition can be a lonely, frustrating time. Whether you are feeling post-birth stress, the baby blues, or grief and depression in your new role, support helps. "Healing after birth" is a weekly postpartum support group meeting Wednesdays at 6:00 pm for 90 minutes. The cost is $20.00 per person per week. This is a professional service and registration is required. Please call or message Jessica, 336-420-2887.
