Some say that Austin just isn't the same anymore... But can you name somewhere that is? Thought so...

Join us as we seek out and enjoy the fun and adventure in the Austin of today as a hippie in recovery or a neo-hippie who doesn't partake in alcohol, drugs, mood altering substances but still believe …

About Mindfulness Exercises: The practice of self regulation of the autonomic nervous system. We teach integrated mind-body mental exercises to trigger a natural parasympathetic response in the autonomic nervous system. This response releases powerful neuro-chemicals that regulate the immune system. Regulation of the immune system transforms the human body at the cellular level. This natural transformation affects our view, how we feel, and ultimately our perception of reality, it affects how we …

After organizing the Houston Unity Group almost 2 years ago, I thought it might be time to share some of the Unity 3D goodness with the rest of Texas.

And not only is it being used for game development, there are several examples of applications in advertising, medical, energy, architecture and education. We are a group passionate about the usage of Unity and we welcome new developers and artists as much as we do seasoned industry veterans.

Enlightenment was a cultural movement of intellectuals in 18th century, first in Europe and later in the American colonies. Its purpose was to reform society using reason rather than tradition, faith and revelation. It promoted science and intellectual interchange and opposed superstition, intolerance and some abuses by church and state. Deism is the belief in a creator, but not revealed religion. Through reason and science we can explore the wonders of God's creation, but we cannot discover the …

Are you tired of the Republican Party being branded as the party of racism in a cheap game of identity politics?

Would you like to express that indignation and discuss ways to change that over good beer? If so, this is the group for you. Our intent is to organize and sponsor community services, charity fundraisers, and political debates as avenues to establish a Republic …

I thought it might be fun to create a group for singles around my age. Hopefully our members can come up with affordable and/or free activities they would like to share. I think this will be a good way for shy and/or lonely people like myself to get out and make new friends. I like things like Sunday afternoon matinees, bowling, museums, art gallery, comedy club, dancing, Flea market, billiards, and more. Who knows?...maybe you will meet someone to date.

What is the meaning of life? Far too often we are given the false choice of attempting to understand this question solely with our heart, through faith, or with our head, through empiricism and logic. But there is only one existence, and it is wonderful and strange and awe inspiring. To answer the greatest question, or perhaps more realistically, simply to wrangle out of it some modicum of sense, we must use all of our faculties. It is silly to think that to understand this existence we would so …

Like a barn raising, the community comes together to help one person accomplish a task that is essential to a thrivi …

Dance Walk! Austin was created by two friends, Sarah and Meaghan, who after seeing this video http://youtu.be/Ib3Duz_6a9M thought it would be a great idea to do this, with other people, as often as possible. We have been dance walking now for close to a year and are having a great time, we just want more people from outside our circle of friends to come join us! So every two weeks or so we meet at a pre-determined location. We have a portable amp in a little backpack and a blazing hot soundtrack …
