Nervous System Reset: Somatic, Breathwork, Sound Healing, Sensory Experience
Your body remembers what your mind tries to move past…
And sometimes, what it needs most is a reset ✨
Not just rest, but a conscious interruption.
A moment to pause with intention and give your body the conditions it needs to release, reorganize, and realign.
Join us for a deeply immersive **Nervous System Reset Experience,**
part of the **PhiloLife Vital Coherence** **Protocol** ©️ and one of our signature journeys.
This is more than a session.
It is dedicated time to step out of survival mode and into safety, coherence, and inner alignment.
A guided experience where intention meets physiology through:
\- Somatic exercises
\- Breathwork
\- Sensory grounding
\- Sound healing bath
Designed to help you:
✨ Release accumulated stress
✨ Reconnect with inner safety
✨ Realign your internal state
Because realignment doesn’t happen in urgency…
It happens in the presence.
This is your invitation to slow down, reset, and return to yourself.
**🗓️ Tuesday, 19th May**

OM Chanting Ladies Circle with Sri Yantra coloring
WHAT IS OM CHANTING?
OM Chanting is a group practice, one of the techniques of Atma Kriya Yoga, that uses the transformational power of OM to activate the self-healing potential of the participants.
BENEFITS OF OM CHANTING:
• Activates self-healing
• Transforms negativity into positive energy
• Calms the mind
• Helps to cultivate more joy, love and peace for the world
• Purifies the environment through the OM vibration
To preserve the energetic integrity of the circle, once chanting has started, participants arriving after the start time will be asked to sit on the outside of the circle. If you are running late, please let the OM Chanting Organiser know – if it is only a few minutes, they might be able to wait for you.
SRI YANTRA COLORING
Sri Yantra is the most sacred geometry that exits. She is the universal pure power of creation, Divine Mother that can transform and bring us to the highest level.
The colouring itself is meditative and it connects us deeper with her power and with our core, activating harmonising effect.
Since Sri Yantra is the power of Creation, it has it all within that we need to progress not only on our spiritual path but also in other aspects of our life like health, wealth and so on.

Hike around Lake Needwood in Rock Creek Regional Park
We hiked this trail in March 2026 with The Bethesda Social Club, and everyone loved it!
**Lake Needwood–Gude–Blue Heron Loop in Rock Creek Regional Park.**
• Distance: 3.6 miles
• Difficulty: Easy, with a gentle climb of 337 ft
• Time: 1.5–2 hours at a leisurely pace
• Scenery: Beautiful lake views, wetlands, and lots of birds (herons, ducks, geese)
• Ideal if you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic, and not too tiring experience
• Wide, well-marked trails — perfect for chatting
Don’t forget to pack your essentials (water, snacks, and tissues are a good idea). If you’re bringing your dog, please let us know in the comments, just in case anyone has allergies.
We’ll all meet at the parking lot near the boat house.
Qamaria Yemeni Coffee
Qamaria Yemeni Coffee is authentic, spacious, has a helpful staff, and I like their espresso. If you try this place on your own, they’re open early and late.
This spot has been recommended a couple times and I think it’ll make a great stop on our journey. Come out Saturday morning for a relaxed convo.
(Please keep your RSVP updated if you know you won't be able to attend, so others who can join have the opportunity to. No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun. Just be respectful and we'll be alright. Pay your own way, and enjoy!)

Energizing Walk for Busy People!
Join our weekly walking meetup to have fun, maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet new people, and enjoy nature! We meet Saturdays at 10am, by the bike racks and benches 150 feet in front of BUBBLES Hair Salon in Reston, leaving no later than 10:05.
Every week we'll walk the Green Trail to Lake Anne Plaza (\~1 mile), pause there for 5-10 minutes (water, bio, and from April-Nov a Farmer's Market), then circle the lake (2 miles) before returning to our starting point. It's roughly 3.5 miles and takes about an hour and a half.
Afterwards, some members will often head to a local restaurant to refuel and relax before tackling the rest of the day.
This event is open to all ages and fitness levels, and both friends and dogs are always welcome! We recommend dressing for the weather (umbrella, water bottle, snow shoes, hat, etc.) since we'll always walk, rain or shine.
By signing up, you accept and assume all risks and responsibilities with this activity, and nobody will be held liable.
VSDC Movie Watch Party, Discussion, and Vegan Food
Join the [Veg Society of DC (VSDC)](vsdc.org) for a pro-animal/vegan-themed Movie Watch Party on Saturday, June 13 at 6:30 pm in Fairfax VA. Socializing with vegan food beforehand and discussion about the movie afterwards is planned.
This month we will screen two films.
The first is *Forever Home* (56 minutes): In the heart of North Carolina, two dreamers are revolutionizing animal care through groundbreaking architecture and by rethinking the concept of “home.” At their refuge, they’re replacing conventional barns with customized homes. With empathy and imagination, they’re bringing architectural design to the world of animal care and providing a blueprint for a compassionate, sustainable future.
The second film (20 minutes) is *Welcome Home*, which celebrates the incredible story of wolf reintroduction to Colorado.
The VSDC member hosts’ home in Fairfax has a small home theater that can accommodate around 20 people. This regular event is a fun way to learn, discuss, and meet vegans and vegan-curious people (Thanks to Mindy Kursban and David Kwiatkowski for hosting!).
FEE: The $12 fee will cover the hosts' expenses for the event, including food, beverages, and other associated costs. If there are any proceeds beyond these costs, which we don't expect, they will go towards VSDC's work to fulfill its mission. In order to ensure the success of the evening and limit late cancellations, **the fee is refundable until 5 days before the event. [NOTE the fee increase due to the increase in the cost of food]**
BECAUSE THERE IS A FEE FOR THIS EVENT, MEETUP DOES NOT ALLOW FOR A WAITLIST ONCE THE RSVPs ARE FULL. IF IT IS FULL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CHECK MEETUP OCCASIONALLY TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS CHANGED THEIR RSVP.
FOOD: Pizza, salad, fruit, and desserts. Feel free to bring any vegan food or beverages to share.
WHO: All VSDC and Meetup members are invited. Bringing a non-vegan friend is encouraged.
WHEN: Saturday, June 13 **at 6:30 pm**. We'll eat and enjoy social time together first and begin watching the movie around 7:00 pm.
WHERE: The home is in Fairfax VA 22033, near Inova Fair Oaks Hospital. It is 8 miles from the closest metro at either Vienna or Reston (Uber or Lyft would be necessary). **For safety and security reasons, the exact location will be emailed privately via Meetup about 2 days in advance to those who have rsvp'd Yes.** Please make sure your email is current in Meetup, your Meetup settings allow organizer messages, and check your spam if you don't receive the message.
PARKING: There is plenty of free parking within a 3-minute walk of the home.
\*You must register via this page to attend the event.\* A Pay Pal account is required to pay the $12. Because there is a cost for the event, Meetup doesn't have a waitlist for the movie.
