Okay, so we are in for some no-holds-barred, inspirational, totally applicable brainstorming and downright "Go for it all" entrepreneuristic talk, okay? So bring your best encouragement and a bag of bright ideas, and if we don't get snowed in, we'll have a great time. Heck, if we DO get snowed in we will do a group project of creating a snow-sculpture attraction outside the Atlanta Bread Company and charging an admission fee for it. Then we will get ourselves written up in the New York Times, and Twittered and Facebooked . . . you get the idea. See you there! Mandy Wildman and Wayne Porter Mandy@TwoCupsConnect.com (currently waiting to be snowed in - again!)

The Transcendental Meditation technique allows your mind to settle inward, beyond thinking, to a state of profound harmony and wellbeing at the source of thought. In this state of restful alertness, your brain functions with greater coherence and your body gains deep rest.
Modern science has discovered innumerable laws of nature, mathematically describing the perfect orderliness of nature's functioning. The same organizing power that upholds order and harmony in nature also resides deep within human consciousness, and is directly accessed through the Transcendental Meditation technique. Learn more about the practical benefits of "transcending" through twice daily TM practice at this special introductory talk—with Q&A and refreshments.
Lecture topics:
• How TM practice differs from other meditation techniques
• Is it the same as just relaxing?
• Is it scientific? Religious?
• How to overcome stress and access inner reserves of energy, happiness and intelligence
• What doctors are saying about the

Some people become musicians to make a buck or attain fame, while others have higher aspirations for their art. Groundation clearly falls into the latter category. For more than a decade, the Northern California-based, nine-piece collective has spread their message of positivity through the medium of roots reggae infused with elements of jazz, funk, dub and more. Now, with the August 18th release of Here I Am, their sixth studio album and first in three years, Groundation takes their music to another place altogether.

Greetings everyone! Join us for another fun and informative movie night (OK, I'll make the chili cheese dip again). :-) We will be playing "The Shift". From the creators of "You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie" comes a compelling portrait of three modern lives in need of new direction and new meaning. In his first-ever movie, Dr. Wayne Dyer explores the spiritual journey in the second half of life when we long to find the purpose that is our unique contribution to the world. The powerful shift from the ego constructs we are taught early in life by parents and societyÃÂ-which promote an emphasis on achievement and accumulationÃÂ-are shown in contrast to a life of meaning, focused on serving and giving back. Filmed on coastal CaliforniaÃÂ's spectacular Monterey Peninsula, The Shift captures every personÃÂ's mid-life longing for a more purposeful, soul-directed life. As before, there will be plenty of time afterward for socializing (with an awesome group of folks), and open discussion on everyone's
