Meet fellow mystics / spiritual people 1

I feel a strong desire to meet like minded souls. I'm just a novice of the spiritual journey - I've learnt some of the path but I'm having trouble walking it.
My instincts have told me I must leave where I am now and I have decided to wander until I know where to go. I'm going to travel Europe for a bit.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows of places where I can meet more like minded spiritual people.
The only place I know of here in the UK is Glastonbury. If anyone knows of other places in Europe please let me know.

I'm thinking more like places (towns/cities/sites) of high energy where spiritually minded people congregate.

Hello brother. Thank you for seeking this path for yourself. The location you seek is one you must be led to by your heart. No one here knows who you are or what you truly seek. Only you know this. Set an intention brother and set out in the direction that the heart leads. Your body as your vehicle of transportation and your heart as your sanctuary, set out to find the answers you seek.
Know this, though, that the external world is simply a reflection of the internal one. We cannot hope to see a change in the outside if within we remain the same.
I wish you true blessings on this sacred path and hope you achieve what it is you need to achieve.
A simple advice: have no expectations and have no assumptions; these will weigh you down tremendously. Instead, hold your intention and let the winds of Spirit carry you.

The UK is full of intense spiritual energy, if you look up most of the spiritual teachers of today half of them (the good ones) are english.
Saying that, follow your instincts (not your mind)
Satsangs are good places to meet people intensely interested in the truth

Thanks everyone. We are right. I knew it anyway. The universal consciousness was telling us A confirmation indeed

www.couchsurfing.org [I just typed the latter bit as "suffering," how appropriate]
For the record, this isn't a hotel service. Hell, it's not even about couches. It's about meeting people and sharing ideas and experiences.
Join a city's group listing and post a thread about spiritual meetups. You'll pull a gopher or two from their hiding place. Trust me.

Gotta earn a rep with Couch Surfing or post some pics of yourself not just in a secluded place. Lately they look for trust. I had a hard time a while back ago because they really look for references; especially women.

I'll bite any bait on a line, but the first video on that website strikes me as a feel-good-group-gimmick lead by a clever motivational speaker. During the first 5 minutes, he carefully used language that implied: 1) exclusivity of the meeting and the personality of the attendees, and 2) questions that fostered a total group response, thus increasing group think and "mass" association. His delivery in general looks more like a self-help talk.
Just weighing in.

Skip the bullshit and visit the groups. They're not anywhere as lively as The Shroomery, but I've made some virtual friends and have met a couple of people live. Expect local a guy and his girl to visit soon. Trismegistus who built the site is OK.

Thanks for the heads up.
At first I thought you were commanding a line of prophesy, with: "expect local a guy and his girl to visit soon."
Sometimes having an overly analytical tendency or mystical approach to interpreting new situations leads to gross misinterpretations. At the least it can motivate us to read between the lines, when there was originally no intention for that space to even exist.

I'd suggest talking with the homeless, as people who are unsuccessful in life are often plagued by irrational thought patterns.

It's true. Whenever I enter satori my body becomes possessed and I just start emptying my bank account on pogs.
