Junto is a monthly meeting which focuses on libertarianism, Objectivism and investing. The NYC Junto was founded in 1985 by investor Victor Niederhoffer, who hosts each meeting. Information about Victor and his activities is available at his website dailyspeculations. This Junto is inspired by the Junto hosted by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia from 1727 to 1757.

What are you doing after work? Come talk, laugh and mingle. We are likely the most diverse meetup group in central New Jersey. We meet at various establishments in the area during the work week where members gather to socialize after a productive or hectic day at work. Our meetup attendance averages 10-15 people which makes for a great opportunity to interact with one another. So check out our calendar and photos for some insight to past and future events.

Let the beer and conversation flow. This group is for anybody who enjoys lively discussion about things that matter with people who respect each other (and try to like each other too!). I'll come prepared with a recent news article, quotation, poem, or passage of scripture to prompt conversation about themes like "Angels and Demons," "What's the Difference Between Justice and Vengeance?", "Racism," "The Afterlife," "Animal Rights," etc., to prompt conversation from a theological perspective. I'm …

Have you been grappling with the difficulty of fitting in with groups, making your presence known, getting ahead because you are too reserved or reticent, or worse, anti-social? You are not alone. Our Western culture is a haven for extroverts who seem to thrive in the extrovert ideal of our culture, where being outspoken, outgoing, soci …

Hi fellow Dog Lovers! I started this group because I thought it would be awesome to get dogs an their owners together in a fun social setting. Some ideas I had in mind were fun Costume Theme Parties, "Doggie Talk Sessions" to discuss specific issues and conditions that our dogs have, and share our experiences and knowledge with one another ( maybe over some wine and cheese ;), and "Doggie Learn Sessions" with animal care professionals as guest speakers , which would give us an opportunity to lis …

I started this group because someone very close to me is a cutter. She is too close to me to help her, in fact, which is an irony many healer types face with issues of family members. I'm a professional health educator (master degree plus certifications) and I use and teach techniques that are extremely effective in eliminating phobias, addictions, obsessions and compulsions. I decided if I cannot help her directly, perhaps I can help others struggling to quit cutting or any other anxiety-based …
