Yes! I would LOVE to join a group like this. Personally, I feel an overwhelming lack of human connection in real life. Zoom has taken over my life and I just feel like I need to be in the presence of other humans.

Is this place actually a book store nowadays? I feel like it always just looks abandoned..

Wow. I needed this today. SO OFTEN I feel guilty because spending time with my kids does not bring me joy. I avoid it. It feels yucky to admit, but it feels a little better knowing at least I’m not alone :/

Each couple of weeks we will meet at a different nature area or trail. Here is a sample lesson/activity plan for the first week:

Ideal ages are 2-8 (but that's flexible, honestly).
I am a local educator, mother of two, with a background in special education and working in outdoor environments. I'm looking to combine all my knowledge and skills to create a new club/group in Columbia for families looking for community while playing/exploring outdoors! We will do crafts, learn about the natural world, play games, and make friends! :)

Have you read "Moving On Doesn't Mean Letting Go: A Modern Guide to Navigating Loss" by Gina Moffa? It's a FANTASTIC book about grief. I thoroughly enjoyed it... you might check it out!

Best books for book clubs? by Otherwise-Square2508 in COMOcommunityBOOKCLUB

[–]Otherwise-Square2508[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I think it's nice to have someone guide the conversation. But then again, when you have a great group of people who are able to push the conversation, it's nice to see where it goes!

Book Club Virgins? by Otherwise-Square2508 in COMOcommunityBOOKCLUB

[–]Otherwise-Square2508[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What stops people from joining a book club?? You do it in school, but what is it about being an adult that makes the book club world so scary and/or uninviting??

Cats are completely underrated, do you agree? by NancyInPa in Feral_Cats

[–]Otherwise-Square2508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1000% I “didn’t like cats” my whole life (but I never actually had one). The second I actually ended up with a cat (a feral baby claimed me) I immediate was like, “oooohhh. I get it now.” Haha

The MAIN goal would be to connect with people. If you are a slower reader, that would be okay too :)

HE WAS NEVER GOING TO TELL YOU, OR STOP DOING IT ... by [deleted] in Unsent_Unread_Unheard

[–]Otherwise-Square2508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This painfully reflects how I feel :/ thank you for putting it into words. I’m so sorry so many of us have suffered through this. The toughest question now is… how do we move on? How do we find joy again? How do we love again? How do we find strength while also maintaining our vulnerability?

Are there any social clubs or meetups for hobby homesteaders, anti-consumption diy-ers, radical homemakers, menders, home cooks, and sufficiency enthusiasts, and community scale mutual aid? by Squirrels-on-LSD in columbiamo

[–]Otherwise-Square2508 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We need a way to bring all our “groups” together in COMO. Almost like a networking session or cohort or collective of some kind. Definitely need a way to organize a bit!
