So many ladies in our community are currently navigating romantic transitions, heartbreaks, endings, disappointments, or emotional resets. Instead of isolating through it, I thought it might be beautiful to create space to process it together. Join us for an evening of good food, music, conversation, and supportive community with women who understand how heavy these seasons can feel. This won’t be a sad “sit in silence” kind of gathering think warmth, honesty, laughter, reflection, and reminding ourselves that endings can also be beginnings. We’ll likely include: ✨ journaling + reflection prompts ✨ symbolic release/letting go activities ✨ comforting food & drinks ✨ music and soft vibes ✨ and maybe even a piñata for dramatic effect because healing can be playful too You do not need to share your story if you don’t want to. Come exactly as you are. Sometimes community is the medicine.

Let's go backpacking and check out the Independence Day fireworks from Signal Knob Overlook. I anticipate that we'll be able to see the fireworks going off over [Strasburg](https://www.strasburgva.com/home-page/page/july-4th) and [Middletown](https://visitwinchesterva.com/event/middletown-4th-of-july-parade-and-fireworks/) (maybe others?).

Here's the route I'm thinking: [https://caltopo.com/m/GMUJN1L](https://caltopo.com/m/GMUJN1L) **Saturday July 4** * We'll meet up at Vienna Metro around 8:30am. * Drive from Vienna to the Signal Knob Trailhead parking (Sheetz stop planned in Gainesville) ([Google maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RBD48x7Rgoh5NjUb7)) * Anticipate we'll be at the Signal Knob trailhead parking lot around 10:30 am. * Take the trail West and loop back around to a campground near signal knob. (**Note**: that it will be a dry camp on the ridge during a hot and humid weekend, so plan to bring lots and lots of water.) * We should have a lot of down time at camp or at the overlook, so I'm planning to bring an UNO deck, camping chair, book, beverages, etc. * We'll watch the fireworks displays from Signal Knob Overlook. **Sunday July 5** * Hike back to the cars (\~4 miles) * Grab breakfast or brunch on the way back to DC **If you are an "applicant" (meaning that this is your first DCUL trip), please send me your gear list ASAP.** For an explanation of DC DUL membership ranks: https://dculbackpacking.com/about/membership/ DCULers have maps!

Let’s play a round of disc golf at Hilliard Memorial Veterans park. I’ll bring extra discs and can help teach beginners, I’m not competitive at all so we don’t need to keep score. Meet by the practice goal 😊 https://maps.app.goo.gl/vhiCa9pJ7JvBTPHw9?g_st=ic
