Hello! Happy New Year! Chase away the winter blahs and beat the New Year's blues with the company of your fellow autists at Cleveland Park Library! Located at 3310 Connecticut Ave. NW in Washington, DC, this library is in a safe and thriving neighborhood just two blocks from the Cleveland Park Metro on the Red Line. Bringing games is optional. We'll be meeting in the large second-floor conference room. HOUSEKEEPING RULES Per library policy, eating is prohibited, but covered drinks are permitted. Per fire code, only 20 RSVPs are allowed. If the list gets to 20, additional RSVPs will move to the waitlist. Please do not take pictures of people without permission. Due to space and liability concerns, people under 18 are not permitted. AFTER MEETUP On the waitlist? Don't worry! You are welcome to join us at Fat Pete's afterwards. It is located at 3407 Connecticut Ave. NW, just across the street and a block over from the library. The owner has made an arrangement where I call him and let him know we're coming over. He then tells me if the place is quiet or noisy. This way, sensory sensitivities are met. The place also has a wide variety of extremely good food and is handicapped-accessible. HEALTH AND SAFETY Since this is the middle of winter, I will keep an eye on the weather. If there are ice/sleet/snow accumulation/winter mix, I am cancelling the event. I am also testing for COVID the morning of the event. Yes, it's still here. If I am well and test negative, I'll be there. If I am sick and/or test positive, I'm staying home. I'm sharing the results in either case. HOW TO GET THERE DC is notoriously hard to drive in. Parking is even worse - almost impossible to find and way too expensive. Taking the Metro or a rideshare is much easier. Cleveland Park Library is located at 3310 Connecticut Ave. NW two blocks away from Cleveland Park Metro on the Red Line. Once you enter the library, go to the second floor. Then go through the glass double doors to the adult books section. We're meeting in the large conference room next to the balcony. If you have trouble finding us, please call or text me at 202-802-3238. See you soon, Jenny

Let's take a walk Saturday around Adams Morgan neighborhood and visit Meridian Hill Park! John originally led this hike and his map includes a motherlode of historical highlights and other details on our route (which will include the "Hinckley Hilton"). This is a good jaunt to explore a swath of D.C. that many folks may not know. I hope people appreciate that I had the Joan of Arc statue moved to Connecticut Ave. specifically for this hike. OK, A.I. did the heavy lifting, but still... **❶ What we'll do:** * Starting from the Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan Metro Station on Connecticut Ave., we'll follow a big counter-clockwise route around the Adams Morgan neighborhood in Washington DC, with a visit to Meridian Hill Park. * Total distance is a little over 4.5 miles and should take about 2 hours, depending on breaks. The surface is paved throughout, with steps here and there. There are some hills, but overall this is a moderately easy walk. * Google map: [http://tinyurl.com/ycu74jg7](http://tinyurl.com/ycu74jg7) **❷ How to get there:** * Metro (recommended): The Woodley Park Zoo Metro Station is on the Red Line.

**A systemic constellation (also called Family Constellations) is a therapeutic group experience designed to uncover and resolve hidden family dynamics that may be influencing a person’s life.** Rooted in the work of Bert Hellinger, this method operates on the principle that unresolved traumas and patterns from previous generations can manifest in an individual’s relationships, health, or emotions. During the workshop, a facilitator guides participants as they explore these systemic entanglements using representatives—other group members who stand in for family members or key components of their issue. Through this process, participants gain deep insights into their energy field systems, fostering healing and a sense of resolution. These workshops provide a safe and supportive environment for self-discovery and transformation. Participants often experience profound emotional shifts as they witness and engage in the unfolding dynamics of their lives stories. By bringing unconscious loyalties, unresolved grief, or burdens to light, Family Constellation work helps individuals break free from limiting patterns, fostering greater harmony, self-acceptance, and a renewed sense of belonging. Whether attending as an active participant or as a representative, individuals often leave with a deeper understanding of their own lives and relationships. **Must register online FEE: $65** **Learn more and register** [here!](https://www.tealcenter.com/classes-and-events/)

Wouldn’t it be nice to find a way to overcome your feelings of anger so that you not only control them, but you no longer have the urge to lose your temper in the first place? And how about being able to shake off resentments, persistent annoyance, or even feelings of vengeance? We’d like to invite you to an event on how to overcome anger and resentment. We will show you why people have trouble controlling their temper and where resentment comes from. Flaring anger can ruin a meeting, a relationship, an opportunity, or just about any aspect of life. Worst of all, outbursts towards our family can create hurt that lingers throughout a lifetime. You want to have a civil conversation, and you’ve vowed that you wouldn’t lose your temper, but a few minutes later, the anger flares up. Maybe you’ve realized that being angry doesn’t get you what you want so you internalize it. Or maybe you avoid the knockdown, drag-out fights, but stewing in resentment is exhausting and takes an emotional toll. In this event we show you how to get to the root of your anger so that it stops being an issue to you. You’ll also learn why people harbor resentments and how to move on. Don't continue to struggle, make a difference in your life, and join us for this local event. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This Meetup is sponsored by your local Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
