As writers, we sometimes need to get away from the everyday grind that monopolizes our time, energy and creativity. It helps if we can escape the "rat race" and rediscover the craft and pleasure of our writing in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. The Ohio Writers Retreats membership group was organized in 2009, to help us escape for a weekend or just a day. We'll feature, sponsor, co-sponsor and present writing retreats that offer getaway options closer to home, here in Ohio. The current weather …

Most meetings have no specific end time, …

"Cleveland Old School Roleplaying" is my attempt to bring together and connect with enthusiasts of earlier editions of Dungeons and Dragons (i.e. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and AD&D 2nd Edition). I'm not sure how feasible this is, but I imagine a major goal of the group to be the establishment of a regular OSR campaign in a traditional Dungeons and Dragons setting, like Greyhawk or the Forgotten Realms. Aside from playing Dungeons and Dragons, a more basic goal of the group might be to simply …

My name is Terre and I enjoy meeting people from different walks of life.  I'm a lover of great international foods, entertainment, art and culture.  Additionally, I am an entrepreneur, Life Coach and a writer.  I'm originally from Cleveland Heights, OH, but I have also lived in New York, Chicago and the Middle East. Each of these places have a very diverse group of people from many different cultural backgrounds, which is one of the things I love! However, while Cleveland also has a wide range …

It's what you've been waiting for.... do it.

Entrepreneurship permeates the culture of the Digital Age. The global reach of the Internet has democratized entrepreneurship. Never before has it been so possible for anyone from anywhere, with a great idea and a burning drive to succeed, to make it big in a relatively short period of time. Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions. Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing". We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, academics, financi …

"This is a group for poetry writers who would like to listen to and share their poems with others who love poetry! I could not find a meet up group for just poetry so I thought I would try to start one! We could share our poems and poetry book recommendations and advice with our favorite beverage and appetizer somewhere (restaurants, our homes). I was thinking we could meet once a month, maybe the last Thursday of the month. I am a definite amateur so even if you haven't written many poems join …

I would like to first extend an open invitation to all in focusing on Visual Arts to begin with.  Performing Arts with “street or public” dance, miming, oratory, magic, skits, cinematography, and music will become our beginning venture.  Please feel free to inqui …

Feeling like you lack the time or the inspiration to get started or finish your writing, whether it is a book, poem or series of short stories? Then this is the group for you. I find that it is hard with work and our busy schedules to find the time or the discipline (in my case) to finish pieces I have nearing completion or to begin new projects. I have been writing since I can remember and would like to turn those glowing embers into a fierce blaze again. We will generally meet the 2nd Tuesda …
