The San Francisco Writers Community is a group of: -Writers -Editors -Publishers -Local book store owners/managers -Designers We are working together to help one another create and market our work in the new world of writing and publishing.

Writing offers a way for people to connect to deeper, wiser aspects of ourselves – a way for us to find out, as the poet Audre Lorde said, “what we didn’t know we knew.” Almost every writer has experienced mysterious moments when the words that flow from our pens, or from our fingers on a keyboard, seem as if they come from someplace else – a place beyond our small human selves. Sometimes, when we let it happen, it’s as if the words become a little boat, a raft on which we can sail in a larger s …

We write, we love, we hurt, we heal and begin again. We are Bohemians in the truest sense of the words and write only to forget. We are primal deviants who made pure by the certainty of our transgressions, Saints who would be whores but cannot afford the dues. We meet, we read, we laugh, we drink, far too much and cut ourselves to shreds in search a single sentence that moves our hard hearts. Perhaps we spend too many nights alone, perhaps we are simply in need of fellow fools to soften the blow …

Taking two play-writing classes at the Berkeley Rep has given me an appreciation for the group dynamic that seems to go so well with writing plays. Hearing others read my words and being exposed to the ideas others have had has been a rewarding and enriching experience. This group will be a forum for folks to hone their craft, share ideas, and have their works read by sympathetic writers. If you have a finished piece, a work in progress, a concept for a play or are looking for an idea, join us a …

The Liminal Art Salon meetup group is a forum for incubating authentic expression. Its purpose is to guide, stimulate and inspire artists and seekers to renew the spirit and power of true, authentic creative expression. Liminal literally means "threshold". To create from a liminal state is to cross the threshold between everyday reality and the invisible realms of supra rational consciousness. We aim to generate, brainstorm and cultivate ideas, imaginings, creations, events and collaborations. O …

I believe that everybody can sing! That's why I've created this voice improvisation meet-up in Berkeley. My approach is inspired by the work of improv legends like David Darling, Bobbie McFerrin and local voice artist David Worm. Using a variety of games, activities and techniques we create one-of-a-kind "music" from next to nothing, using solely the human voice. There are no "wrong" notes and no "bad" voices in The Soundproof Room. The goal is for all participants to enjoy producing their own j …

Interested in painting or drawing portraits but too shy to ask random strangers? Tired of drawing your loved ones over and over again? This group is for you. Let's get together and take turns sitting for each other. Just to be clear this is NOT a nude figure drawing session (not that I have anything against nude figure drawing). My interest is in faces specifically. I work in mixed media so it's easy for me to bring low maintenance supplies with me like colored pencils, water colors, pastels. Ho …

I assume you think, dream or make art like I do. I am not as much into the museum scene but tend to check out local galleries and some genres of art in particular; impressionism upwards, abstract and such kinds of stuff that puts some people to sleep. I hate to use the word 'serious', but as an artist, I am constantly looking for new ideas and thought I'd be fun to do this with others. To get a sense of the tone of the group, perhaps you can check out my artist page & blog at facebook.com/thou.a …
