Aloria is a cultural club which is highly influenced by the concept of Bushido, or the "Way of the Warrior" that Samurai were notorious for revering. In these regards you can often see the same qualities reflected in Alorian culture via how we interact with the world and by where and when we meet. Quality, self control, personal improvement, and other such themes are a constant. We will be meeting on the second and fourth Saturday of each month, times and events will be posted in advance as well …

… I know a lot of people do this book solo (I did the first 3 times) and I also know having community as we do so is powerful. Would this be a way to combine the two? Meetup INc. recommends that organizers charge $10- $20 each session, which I haven't been doing. When I facilitate groups I have learned that free or discounts never work. People struggle to get through the material when I have done that. When people pay the full fee, they do better and finish the book. Maybe this is true for Meetup …

I've enjoyed watching this group grow into a wonderful group of 53 ladies over the course of the past year.  Amazing sharing and growth has occurred, and I've been honored and humbled by you ladies.  I've come to a place in my own life where I need to limit how many plates I am spinning.  So, I have asked the ladies at the last gathering if anyone wanted to …
