Books and Chill
Everyone’s heard of book clubs where the group reads the same thing and gets together to discuss, which is great… if you have time and interest in whatever’s chosen. This is a different type of book club where you bring whatever you’re currently or recently reading (or just a book you’re super excited about) and talk about it with fellow book lovers.
We’ll start with people arriving/ordering food between 615-645, then go around and introduce ourselveslves and give a very brief synopsis of what we’re reading and why we’re excited (or not!) about it. Then devolve into informal conversations until people need to head out.
The goal Is to create community and connections in a group of strangers - to facilitate this please make sure you have at least a clear first name on your profile.
Upside on Moore has a great selection of food you can order from your phone or at the kiosks. There’s also a bar with happy hour, something for everyone!
Arrival tips: if you’re taking the metro, it’s the building above the Rosslyn exit. If you’re driving, you can park in the public lot under the food hall (entrance from the one way bus street) and validate parking after 6!
Fireside Healing Circle & Meditations
✨ **An Evening of Reflection, Renewal and Awakening** ✨
Join us for a transformative evening of healing, connection, and self-discovery. Gathered in sacred space around the glow of the fire, we will journey together through meditations designed to ground, restore, and awaken the spirit to purpose and loving service.
🌿 **What to Expect**

* Heartfelt sharing in a safe, supportive circle

* Meaningful spiritual insights and uplifting discussion
This is a gathering for anyone seeking peace, clarity, or community. All are welcome—simply bring an open mind and a respectful heart.
🔥 **When & Where**
* We typically meet twice each month on the 2nd & 4th Thursdays. Come as often—or as little—as your spirit calls.
* Weather permitting, we gather outdoors in the tipi or by the large fire circle. If needed, we will move indoors.
*
💫 **For First-Time Visitors**
* No prior experience is needed.
* Please arrive **15 minutes early** to settle in.
* You are welcome to walk the grounds or explore our crystal shop before the circle begins.
📍 **Directions**
* Address: **15406 Riding Stable Rd.** (property is at the end of a ½ mile driveway into the woods).
* You will cross a small stream—drive slowly (under 10 MPH) to keep dust down.
* Please be mindful of our neighbors and do not stop to interact with horses along the way.
*
💖 **Energy Exchange**
To help keep this gathering accessible, we invite an offering of **$15–$25**. If you feel called to contribute in another way, please reach out in advance.
With love and gratitude, we welcome you into this circle of renewal.
DC Crypto at The Point
https://www.thepointdc.com/
This beautiful bar and restaurant with delicious food and awesome happy hour will be the side of our first summer meetup.
It's accessible through Waterfront Metro and Buzzards Point shuttle. Or a 15 minute walk
Our crypto meet up is basically everyone. We are not officially connected with any group or government nothing like that so it's just a very chill place for OG crypto people and new people to have a drink and talk crypto .
It will probably be pretty crowded if the weather is nice but it's a really big bar with a big outdoor deck. I will have a colored candle with me identification purpose identification purposes.
It's a beautiful place where the Anacostia and the Potomac River's meet.
!I hope to see you there!
BB and above players only up to 12 players
Today's meetup is limited to 12 BB and above only players and 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 play only. Please help us keep this day limited and enjoy the open play on the other days if you or your friend are not BB or above. People make plans and travel to show up on limited days for limited play because it is limited to experienced players. Please do not show up if you are on the waitlist without checking first, or try to play 5's or 6's, with your friend that is learning how to play, or because it is not full with 12 players if you or your friend are not BB or above. We’d rather play with 9 experienced players on these limited days than open it up to beginners, friends that are learning, etc. There are other open days for that, and they are fun too.
The Finale: A Happy Hour Event!!
Hi Everyone! This will be the FINAL (yes, you read that right!) event for this meetup group, so let's go out with a bang! Come celebrate Pride month and the community we’ve built for the last 4 years. Early arrival is suggested! This event is for Black queers only (no cis men)! Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend.
Happy hour drink specials pictured below. You're welcome to bring outside food since this venue does not serve food. We may have some celebratory cake. See you there!

This is a smaller more practice focused event at my shop.
**Open to everyone and is a learning experience for most.**
Just bring your instrument(Electric), no need to bring an amp we have all of that.
Do not bring a pedal board with a bunch of pedals. The amps are dialed in for blues, trust me it's all there.
Drums are here already, very basic kit. If you want to bring cymbals or any other drum gear, please show up early to set up. Also please be aware that other people are going to play the kit as well.

DC Elite Matchmaking: Match Alert Jack & Jill Duo
Hello Everyone,
Thank you so much for joining us for our **Valentine’s Mystery Social**! It was truly a pleasure to host such an intentional space for all of you to connect as "souls" rather than just titles and paychecks.
We heard your feedback loud and clear: you all wanted more time to connect after the opening icebreakers! We have noted this and look forward to hosting several more of these sessions for our private clients throughout the year with even more space for deep discussion.
### **🔥 TODAY ONLY: Elite Match Alert**
We have just added two profiles, a powerhouse Jack and Jill **brother and sister duo**—both exceptional catches:
* **The Sports Agent (Male):** A high-achieving, family-oriented professional who embodies the values of our community and the legacy of his upbringing.
* **The Powerhouse Attorney (Female):** A stunning attorney and active actress who is a true "Jack and Jill" legacy. She balances a high-stakes legal career with a passion for the arts.
**Follow us on IG:** For our most up-to-date match alerts and event BTS, make sure you are following us on Instagram @helpmeetclub

### **Membership Updates**
We are committed to the quality of our community. To that end, we have decided to make some adjustments to our membership structure:
* **Database Services:** We will no longer allow women to join our database as a standalone service.
* **The Reason:** It is undeniable that the women who complete our **Readiness Process** stand out and make exceptional partners. It is only fair that they are rewarded with exclusive access to our socials and curated community. On that note, if your database membership is currently expiring, please let us know and we will re-enroll you at 50% off your annual database membership fee.
The Great Almond Cookie Gathering (June): The Beginning
Calling distinguished guests, culinary visionaries, and seekers of higher understanding to join us for our monthly Yen Yen dinner gathering.
For centuries, philosophers have debated the great mysteries of existence:
What is our purpose?
What defines destiny?
Why does the complimentary almond cookie somehow taste better when someone else mentions it first?
At the conclusion of the meal, honored attendees will receive the Twin Relics of Enlightenment: the almond cookie & the fortune cookie.
One offers sweetness. The other offers vague life guidance that somehow always applies to at least one person at the table.
This refined and highly serious culinary summit will feature:
* strategic entrée negotiations.
* casual social discourse.
* analysis of fortune cookies. predictions with absolutely no scientific backing.
* and the annual-level emotional anticipation of the dessert plate arriving.
Cuisine: Chinese
Group Size: 6 Peopel
Dining: Separate checks
Parking: Free onsite parking
The meal ends, but the fortunes remain.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
Nailed It! - DIY Meetup
Grab a drink or some food and get to know each other. This is our first event and we can take it slow. I’d love to meet everyone and hear if there’s anything you like to get out of the group.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
