It's about learning for the sake of learning, studying for the sake of studying. This group is about math for math's sake. The School of Mathematics was founded to cultivate a natural an …

This group is for people who want to experience many Asian foods and drinks with a focus on pub style cuisine.  Mainly basement sake bars and yakitori spots. But Izakaya is an umbrella group description as I have other events planned outside what would be described as an Izakaya. Things like tea & dessert, Korean BBQ, any local Far East events like movies and concerts. Also its not so much an "exchange" as you won't find any American style bars/eateries on the agenda. Sharing language and cultur …

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.

All one needs is creativity, community, and a natural sense of fun and freedom. We meet at various parks in the Central and North Jersey areas. We …
