Do you like to write? If yes, do you find it difficult to make time to sit down and write? This is a meetup group for people to get together and, well, write. The group (or whoever RSVPs) meets once a week. For 1-2 hours (or however long you can stay) we sit down and write quietly. Once a month we'll get together afterwards to talk about our writing or just socialize. I'm not interested in critiquing, lectures, and the like.

You can think of Le Methode Naturelle as an "organic" workout. It uses mankind's innate drive to move, play, and work in order to be more in sync with the natural environment. This is not working out for just working out's sake----it's incrementally making your body and mind more functional. In other words, there's no gym needed, no fees, no machines.
