Hello new friends! My name is Courtney, and I am in need of a community! I get this itchy feeling that I cannot be the only out there who feels this way, so I have created this group with the hopes of connecting to some like-minded individuals. I want to create friendships. I want to learn together. I want to grow together. Ultimately, when I see this group in my mind, I want us to be eclectic in our interests and the way in which we approach magic and our lives. Truth be told, my belief system …

We love listening to interesting stuff. From String Theory to Seventeenth Century Scandal and everything in between. We're foodies at heart, love the New Yorker, dabble with Freakanomics and have been known to indulge in a bit of RadioLab. There is just so much out there and finding it might be quite overwhelming.

From the founder: Upon graduation, I promised myself I would never wear a suit, nor would I work in an office. Fate threw me suited up into an office for seven years. This was my tour of duty in the illusory world of hierarchical control, greed, fear and systemic hypnosis. I was living a half-life, and no-one was more aware of this fact than I was. There were, of course, moments of stunning humanity in my time in “the office” working as a financial adviser and all round salesman for the corpor …
