Academic Writing Group

New York, NY

Ph.D students, Post-Docs, and early career professors working on their writing projects. We write in solidarity, along side one another, in quiet co-working sessions. The group normally meets in person but now (due to COVID), we write together on ZOOM. 

We meet and write, usually for 3 hours, taking short 5-minute breaks every 50/60' of continuous writing.

Join us to defeat the sense of isolation academia entails. In our writing group, we support each others' goals and increase our productivity! And we drink a lot of coffee ☕️ as well, of course!!!

**The group is restricted to people working in academia (PhD students/candidates/post-docs/professors)

**Note: The writing group does not provide feedback on your writing (proofreading, works-in-progress, etc.) we use the time to actually write in solidarity!!

Leap - Conversations for Curious Minds

New York, NY

Leap is an exciting new platform that gets people talking via conversations in small groups. At Leap, we host bite-size conversations which take place over video calls in small groups. Group numbers are kept purposefully small to mirror the intimacy of the interactions that take place in real life.

Members can choose from a selection of topics, taking place at different times throughout the day, and jump in – in the same way that they might jump into a coffee shop or hairdressers and strike up a conversation. The conversation topics themselves are varied and interesting, but most of them share a common thread – they are designed to prompt conversation and they motivate the sharing of stories and anecdotes.

Tastes of the World NYC

New York, NY

***TASTE and DISCOVER flavors from around the world one delicious Nation at a time ... all without ever stepping on a plane!*** New York City is home to a myriad of ethnicities that showcase their rich cultures through their cuisines. What better way to explore this rich ethnic heritage of New York City than to sample cuisines from all around the world right in our own backyards without ever having to buy a plane ticket. Come join us we set out on a culinary journey across the 5 boroughs of NYC to locate and sample all the authentic ethnic cuisines and discover some new tastes as well as re-visit some old favorites. No foodie experience required. All you need is a Metrocard, an open mind and a willingness to try new cuisines, and most importantly an empty stomach to come join us as we take that subway ride across the 5 boroughs where many delicious ethnic dishes await. You will be glad you did, and your tummy will thank you for it. All our events will be held throughout the 5 boroughs of NYC, with main focus on the mom-and-pop restaurants located in the outer boroughs of Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Staten Island, all reachable on MTA subway and/or buses, or even Metro-North. OUR MEETUPS: Good food is meant to be shared. At each Meetup, we will dine FAMILY-STYLE, NO EXCEPTIONS! Final food bill, together with tax and tips will be shared evenly. Any drinks are separate and are the responsibility of the drinkers. Number of attendees to our events will be kept at a small number (no more than 10 to 12) to allow everyone to get to know each other. MEETUP FEE: To help defray the cost of paying Meetup HQ to keep the site up and running, a $1.00 Meetup fee will be collected at RANDOMLY selected events. \*\*NOTE: this group is not suitable for those with any kind of dietary restrictions\*\* Group founded: November 6, 2021

Long Island Love Live and Thrive

Long Island City, NY

Healthy relationships really matter! This group was created for those seriously looking for love and for those who have a desire to be active, mostly outdoors. We attract those who 1. have a desire to be active 2. love the outdoors even though online meetings/classes are offered 3. are kind, caring, and compassionate 4. are grateful people 5. notice, appreciate and crave simple, natural beauties in life 6. are low maintenance 7. are nature lovers 8. are friendly, fun, respectful and welcoming Over the past 19 years of growing my Live and Thrive groups, these character traits stand out the most and are the most common in our membership. When you attend any online meeting and/or class I'll be eager to get to know you better and help others more easily connect with you. Just some of the ways I accomplish this: 1. Make a short podcast about you 2. Create a Nature Note of your first name only (it's a great conversation piece) 3. Plan some group dates for you that are low risk and no pressure 4. Encourage you to consistently attend some group outings so people can find you easily and get to know you better I have seen first hand how many long-term relationships have developed over time. Rather than expensive, high-pressure dates, our members tend to want to spend more time with someone who loves simple, inexpensive activities or outings centered around nature.  If this concept resonates with you, I hope you will join us soon and let me get to work finding someone you are truly compatible with! Welcome!

Narcissistic Abuse, CPTSD & Codependency Survivor Support

New York, NY

Please consider joining our sister group at: https://www.meetup.com/pittsburgh-narcissism-survivor-meetup-group/ for more daily meetings, workshops and consistent support and validation. We are a group for people who have suffered or are suffering from Narcissistic Abuse in a love or personal relationship. We will discuss and encourage sharing of our experiences, talk about trauma bonding and how to break the cycle. Most importantly, we will share our communal experience and provide support by listening and sharing our what we've gone through so that all attendees know that they are not alone. Please read this message carefully: Before signing up to any meeting in this group, you MUST attend a First Timers Meeting event. There are NO exceptions to this. These meetings are designed to ensure community safety and if you sign up for an Established Member event without attending one, you will be removed from that event. Before you do anything else, including signing up for an Established Members group, check out our "Events" section and sign up for a First Timers Group and attend one BEFORE you sign up for an Established Member meeting. We are very strict about this rule, so please do so as we hate to remove people from meetings and have to send a PM advising someone of this rule. All meetings are run through Zoom. The links and passwords are reset every day. The links are all sent the morning of the meetings. You will receive your link through whatever email you use through Meetup. Please ensure you have your settings with Meetup set to receive emails as they will come in through that email. If you sign up for a meeting, please check you have received your link well before the meeting as we do not check our emails during meetings. It is your responsibility to check that you have received your link - if you haven't received it and it's before meeting time, simply send your organizer (Kay R., Paige, Roby or Anthony) a PM and we will ensure you receive it. Some more general rules that will be reviewed in your First Timer's Meeting: DO NOT private message moderators/organizers unless you have a question regarding the group as a whole, or you didn't receive a link to the meeting. DO NOT message us for medical, legal, or general advice, and do not contact us to vent. We understand that times are tough and this is not an easy situation to deal with, but we are all running this group on a volunteer basis, and we do not have any medical or counseling degrees. If there is an emergency please call 911, contact your local police, hospital, or physician. There is also a domestic violence hotline (800.799.SAFE) and a suicide hotline (800-273-8255) - these are free 24 hour services. We appreciate your understanding in advance. DO NOT private message other members of the group. Again, this is an exception to the rule above, but if you see someone in a meeting you'd like to reach out to, please send the organizer of that meeting a message and we will ask that person if they consent to being contacted and will pass on your info to them. If a member tells you during a meeting to reach out to them, that is OK as they have consented already. This is for the safety of our members, which we take very seriously. We are happy you are here and hope you find this a supportive community. All of the rules are above are to ensure that you are safe and that the people you will be interacting with are validating, here for the 'right reasons', and are properly vetted. We look forward to meeting you! x Kay R.
