Growing up my mom took me to Bible Study Groups. They started out as people filtered in with small talk, then the designated leader would say "alright everybody ready to start?" and somebody would inevitably pull out an acoustic guitar to begin a few simple songs of praise and worship that most attendees sang along with, as newcomers smiled and learned the songs (or sometimes became visibly uncomfortable, depending on their personalities). After this, someone (usually the person who was hosting, but sometimes deferring to someone else more prepared/knowledgeable) would read a passage from their previously agreed upon version of the Bible. It would then go into a discussion of either the religion's official meaning of the passage, the etymology/history of certain terms or ideas, new ideas, or set up a situation where they go in a circle and everyone puts in their two cents. Then there would be a group prayer, or another circular round of "what would you like the group to pray for?" followed by a social period (usually with food), and finally ending at either a specific time or just whenever everybody left. I would like to find something like that, minus the religion. Topic of the day and cover songs or original compositions, sharing of each other's lives and struggles, food.
