Craft Alchemy Business Presentation
## 1 Million Cups Loudoun – Business Presentation
### Featuring Mary Hartshorn, Founder of Craft Alchemy
**Wednesday\, June 10 \| 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM**
**Venture X Loudoun**
Join us as we welcome **Mary Hartshorn**, founder of **Craft Alchemy**, to the 1 Million Cups Loudoun stage.
***
## About the Presenter
Mary Hartshorn is an Army Veteran, entrepreneur, and founder of Craft Alchemy. With a background in communications and logistics and an MBA earned in 2016, Mary spent years developing expertise in e-commerce, digital products, automation systems, Shopify, Etsy, and customer-focused product development while raising her family and navigating military life.
In 2024, a personal moment of crisis inspired Mary to create a tool that could help others facing similar challenges. What began as a resource for veterans quickly evolved into a broader solution designed to support individuals and families navigating autism, mental health challenges, caregiving responsibilities, medical conditions, and other situations where communication can become difficult during times of stress.
***
## About the Business
Craft Alchemy has developed the **Anchor Tag Support System**, a personalized QR-based support hub that helps individuals quickly access calming tools, emergency contacts, support resources, and personalized information when they need it most.
Designed to bridge the gap between physical and digital support, Anchor Tags provide a practical, accessible tool for Veterans, First Responders, autism families, caregivers, mental health advocates, schools, healthcare providers, and organizations focused on community well-being.
Rather than creating another app, Craft Alchemy offers a real-world solution that can be carried, accessed quickly, and utilized during moments when support and communication matter most.
***
## Who Mary Is Looking to Hear From
Mary would especially value feedback and connections from:
* Veteran support organizations
* First responder support groups
* Mental health professionals and advocates
* Autism and disability support organizations
* School administrators and special education professionals
* Healthcare and caregiving professionals
* Nonprofit leaders
* Community outreach specialists
* Government contracting and partnership advisors
* Local leaders focused on community impact initiatives
***
## Current Business Focus & Challenge
Craft Alchemy is currently in its early growth and partnership stage.
Mary's primary focus is building awareness, establishing strategic partnerships, and expanding opportunities within organizations and community-based networks.
She is seeking feedback around:
* Building strategic partnerships
* Scaling awareness organically
* Expanding into schools, nonprofits, and community organizations
* Navigating government and organizational opportunities
* Growing a mission-driven business without relying heavily on paid advertising
She would also appreciate introductions to individuals and organizations connected to veterans, first responders, mental health advocacy, autism support, caregiving, education, and community health initiatives.
***
## Why Attend?
* Learn about an innovative solution designed to support people during moments of stress and crisis
* Provide valuable feedback to a mission-driven entrepreneur
* Connect with community leaders, advocates, and professionals across multiple industries
* Be part of a meaningful conversation around accessibility, support, and community impact
***

Spark Vibe was created for singles who are ready to put down their phones and start making real connections.
This is your excuse to get out, look your best, grab a drink, and meet local singles in a fun, relaxed environment designed to make connecting easy.
No more endless texting.
No more wondering if you'll ever actually meet.
No more trying to figure out chemistry through a screen.
Just real people, real conversations, genuine laughter, and the possibility of meeting someone special.

## ✨ About The Age Range
The age range listed in the event title is intended as a general guideline to help create a compatible and well-balanced group of attendees.

## 🌟 How The Evening Works
### 🍸 Start With A Social Mixer
Kick off the evening with a relaxed mingle. Grab a drink, settle in, and meet fellow singles before the structured activities begin.
Many attendees arrive solo, making it easy to jump into conversations and start meeting people right away.
### 💬 Easy, Guided Conversations
We've taken the awkwardness out of meeting new people.
Fun icebreakers and conversation prompts help keep things flowing naturally, while our friendly host guides the event so you can focus on enjoying yourself and meeting great people.
### ⚡ Quick, Real Connections
Meet a variety of local singles through a series of short, engaging conversations.
You'll have just enough time to get a feel for someone's personality, energy, and vibe before moving to the next conversation.
It's fun, low-pressure, and far more natural than sitting through a full first date.
### ❤️ Discover Real Chemistry
The best part?
You never know where a single conversation might lead.
A friendship.
A future date.
A new connection.
Or maybe even something extraordinary.
But none of it happens unless you show up.

### Review
“In Superconvergence, Jamie Metzl takes readers on a magical journey through the science of the intersecting genetics, biotech, and AI revolutions, deeply explores the implications, and challenges us to think creatively and proactively about what comes next. Very few books are absolute must-reads. This is one.”―Siddhartha Mukherjee, assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University and author of The Gene: An Intimate History
"During the 25 years I have known Jamie Metzl, he has always been ahead of the curve. There is no one better to help us understand and prepare for the fast-approaching technological revolutions. Superconvergence is brilliant. I can't recommend it more strongly."―Sanjay Gupta MD, bestseller author, neurosurgeon, and Emmy-award winning chief medical correspondent (CNN)
"Our world is defined by our science and technology—whether we like it or not. The question now is not whether to use these powers, but how best to use them. In Superconvergence, Jamie Metzl takes us on a journey through the new capabilities that are radically transforming ecosystems inside us and around us, challenging each of us to get personally involved with building the future we want."―Beth Shapiro, University of California Santa Cruz evolutionary biologist and author of Life as We Made It: How 50,000 Years of Human Innovation Refined―and Redefined―Nature
"In a fine counter-blast to the pessimism of today, Jamie Metzl lays out just how spectacular the future of humanity and planet can be if we harness innovation responsibly and imaginatively to create what he calls the 'spiral of progress.'"―Matt Ridley, author of How Innovation Works, and co-author of Viral: The search for the Origin of Covid-19
“A page-turning journey through space and time that shows us how our lives will be changed by imminent technological advances we once only dreamed of.”―David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, and author of Lifespan: Why We Age―and Why We Don't Have To
“The superconvergence of the genetics, biotechnology, and AI revolutions provides spectacular opportunities for building a better world. It also represents an almost limitless investment opportunity. We were excited to collaborate with Jamie Metzl, one of the world's great experts on how these aspirations can best be realized, including in capital markets. Superconvergence is a master class for imagining, investing in, and building a future we'd like to inhabit."―Jeremy Schwartz, Global Chief Investment Officer, WisdomTree
“A clear examination of a transitional moment in the story of life on Earth…. Metzl capably describes recent developments in genetics and biotech and looks at how AI is providing an analytical engine of unprecedented power…. An important book in which the author sets out a path for the future based on his experience and expertise.”―Kirkus
“Erudite, optimistic, and timely.”―Science Magazine
"[In Superconvergence] Mr. Metzl has identified an important truth: that the convergence of new technologies is galvanizing us to reimagine how to meet urgent challenges in medicine and the environment. It’s a compelling opportunity—provided we manage to sidestep self-induced catastrophes along the way."―The Wall Street Journal
### About the Author

Finding Meaning in Life's Difficulties (Free Event)
Is there hidden value in the difficulties and hardships of life, or are these things just to try to get past as quickly as possible? If so, how can we emerge from the current world crisis we are facing as stronger, more resilient individuals and communities?
When we look at the difficult moments of our lives, aren’t those often the times when we grew the most? So many valuable lessons in life and growth opportunities are hard-won, often coming out of these trying moments. So why are we so focused on avoiding these difficulties? From this perspective, how would we as individuals and as a society confront the inevitable struggles we will be faced with? How can we build stronger communities that ensure not only that we don’t have to face struggles alone, but that we as individuals will emerge stronger as well?
Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on the opportunity for growth during times of struggle. Join us for a lively discussion as we reflect on the meaning of the struggles of life and explore the true nature of progress.
*“The troubles of this world pass and what we have left is what we have made of our souls.*” – Bahá’í Teachings
\*\*\* This event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will not be accepted.

NOVA Brain Computing — DC's Only Community at the Brain–Machine Frontier
**The Neural Revolution Is Happening Right Now — Are You Plugged In?**
Imagine typing with your thoughts. Steering a robotic limb with a neural signal. Lifting depression by stimulating a single brain circuit. Loading a skill straight into memory.
This isn't science fiction. It's happening in labs, clinics, and startups around the world — and the DC region, home to NIH, the BRAIN Initiative, and DARPA's neural-interface programs, is one of the places it's being funded and built.
**This Event Is for You If…**
* ✅ You're a **technologist** curious about the computing paradigm beyond screens and keyboards
* ✅ You work in **healthcare** and want to see how neural interfaces will reshape patient care
* ✅ You're an **entrepreneur** hunting the next real opportunity in deep tech
* ✅ You're a **researcher** looking to plug into the broader BCI ecosystem
* ✅ You're simply **fascinated** by where neuroscience and technology collide
* ✅ You **missed our last meetup** and want to reconnect with the community
**Why That List Makes Us Unique in DC**
Read it again. A technologist, a clinician, a founder, a researcher, and the merely curious — in the same room, on the same afternoon.
That mix is the whole point, and it's what no other event in the region offers. Neuroscience conferences are built for neuroscientists. AI meetups are built for engineers. Healthcare summits are built for clinicians. Each one serves a single silo.
Brain computing doesn't live in any one of those silos — it lives in the overlap. So we built the one community in DC dedicated to that overlap: a place where the person decoding neural signals can talk to the person who'll commercialize the device, who can talk to the clinician who'll put it in front of a patient.
**What You'll Walk Away With**
This isn't just another tech meetup. Because of who's in the room, you get:
* **Frontline insight** from people actively decoding neural signals
* **Direct access** to the scientists, engineers, and founders pushing BCI forward — not a panel behind a rope line
* **Hands-on work** with real neural data and BCI systems
* **Career connections** in one of the fastest-growing fields in tech
* **First looks** at breakthrough research before it reaches mainstream media
**The Stakes Are Real**
We're at an inflection point. The next decade decides whether brain-computer interfaces *expand* human potential or *deepen* inequality — whether they're built in the open or behind closed doors, whether the benefits are shared or hoarded.
Your voice, your expertise, your perspective shapes which future we get.
**Join the Minds Shaping Tomorrow**
This is your entry point into the neural-interface revolution — your chance to stand alongside the researchers reading neural code, the engineers building the interfaces, the clinicians treating patients, and the founders bringing it all to market.
**Saturday, June 13 · 12:00–3:00 PM** isn't just a meetup. It's the one place in DC where all of those people come together around brain computing.
**Come curious. Leave connected. Return transformed.**
Because the future of human-computer interaction isn't happening *to* you — it's happening *with* you.

Mt Kilimanjaro Trek! One of the 7 Summits. Join us on this bucket list adventure
**Our Meetup is off to another hiking adventure! Mt Kilimanjaro, as the tallest mountain in Africa, is included in the 7 Summits of the world.**
**It is a bucket-list item for all hard-core hikers and mountain lovers.**
We did this trek with Meetup in the summer of 2024 and it was a true experience of a lifetime (see photos below)
Let's get to some numbers. It is 5,895m/19,340ft
BUT . . . our starting elevation for the trek is 3795m/12541ft
As such elevation gain is 2100m/6799ft
To compare Everest Base Camp trek, is about 2754m/9035ft elevation change. And Mt Whitney is about 1828m/6000ft elevation change.
The key to being able to succeed in this endeavor lays in the route and the support system.
We are taking the Lemosho Route via the Northern Circuit. The Northern Circuit route is the longest and newest of the seven established Kilimanjaro routes. It's one of the best routes because it has the best acclimatization profile. This results in one of the highest summit success rates. Add to that stunning views, and comparatively relaxed pace. It is also much less crowded than the other Kilimanjaro routes.
As far as our support system: We will be accompanied by experienced guides, porters and cooks. They are certified, ensuring our safety and comfort. Porters will carry our gear.
We will have a high ratio of guides to hikers. Our guides will go our pace and support each and everyone of us, regardless of fitness level and pace. In other words...you go your own speed and we all get there safe.
More about our trek/trip.
As with all our international trips, we picked the best season/time of year to go for weather and wildlife. Lemosho and Northern Circuit is a scenically spectacular and varied route. At the lower elevations it has an abundance of wildlife such as elephant, buffalo, eland and lion which come over to forage during dry season.
**Each of our trips is personally crafted to offer the best places and best use of time.**
*But I don't have the needed gear?!*
You don't need much more than the standard trekker's equipment. We will provide you with a list of what is already included and what can be rented there.
*Does this include food?*
All meals on the trek potion are included and a cook travels with us!
*What is lodging like?*
We are sleeping in new and comfortable tents (carried during the day by porters)
*I am new at this.*
That's OK. We do plenty of prep Zooms before we depart. And in California we have a number of local outdoor day or weekend outings you can test out with us.
*How dangerous is this? What if I get sick or hurt?*
We will be walking on an established, well used trail the entire time. **Our trip INCLUDES emergency insurance.** We are also Certified Wilderness First Responders and our guides are members of (AMREF) Flying Doctor.
**Plain and simple, safety is our primary goal.**
*How much does this cost?*
**Kilimanjaro Mountain Trek $3950 per person, double occupancy. Land only (airfare not included). Solo supplement $600**
Trip Cost includes:
\- 9 nights accommodation
\- 3 meals everyday on the trek
\- All Fees & Entrances and Taxes
\- Camping equipment such as tents\, tables\, chairs\.
\- Lead Guide\, Assistant Guides\, Porters and Cook
