Open House and Tour at the Woodlawn History Center at SERC
Please join me on Sunday, June 21st--the Summer Solstice--at the Woodlawn History Museum on the campus of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) in Edgewater, Maryland. I have been a docent at Woodlawn for the last year.
On June 21st, I will be onsite as a docent to welcome you at the Woodlawn History Museum between 1-4pm. Please note that the Museum is open from 1-4pm on the 21st--but the SERC campus and its trails are open from 8am-5:30pm. You can plan your visit to take in the other parts of the SERC campus. Please note: no pets are allowed on the grounds. Admission is free.
[The Woodlawn History Museum](https://serc.si.edu/visit/woodlawn-history-center) is housed in the 1735 Woodlawn House, making it the oldest building in the Smithsonian collection.
The Woodlawn House tells the stories of the people who have lived and worked--and continue to work as part of SERC--in the House and surrounding property.
**TOURS OF THE WOODLAWN HISTORY MUSEUM: On June 21st, I will be offering a 1:30pm tour.** Rhea Rao, another docent, will be onsite to help out. During the tour, we will take a look at the architecture of the building as well as the exhibits.
You are welcome to join the tour at 1:30pm--or you can walk through the house on your own between 1-4pm. The exhibits are well displayed; further information is available through QR codes.
If you are interested in doing a tour at 2:45pm, please let me know. You can send me a message via Meetup.
The 2,654-acre campus spans forests, wetlands, marshes, and 15 miles of protected shoreline. SERC's unique [history](https://serc.si.edu/history) establishes it as one of the nation's leading environmental research centers.
The campus includes other sites, walking trails, and public access for kayak launching--but no swimming is allowed. For more information on what you can do, see [https://serc.si.edu/visit/plan-your-visit](https://serc.si.edu/visit/plan-your-visit).
Here are the trails you can explore:
* **Fox Creek Nature Trail** (1.3 miles, loop)
Travel through time and discover how Native Americans, farmers, and scientists have used the land through the centuries. This trail starts at the Reed Education Center and takes a loop through the forest. Follow the blue trail blazes on the trees.
* **Discovery - Muddy Creek Trail** (1.3 miles round trip, no loop)
Stroll along the waters of the Rhode River and Muddy Creek and enjoy the quiet beauty of the marshes. To access the Discovery Trail, start at the Reed Education Center and follow the waterfront section of the Fox Creek Nature Trail for about 1/4 mile until you pass a boardwalk. Go left at the fork after the boardwalk. Follow the pink trail blazes on the trees.
* **Hog Island Trail** (1.3 miles)
The Hog Island Trail begins about halfway along the discovery Trail, near its southern tip. Cross a marsh boardwalk before ascending to Hog "Island," a semi-isolated hilltop crowned with oak, holly and mountain laurel.
* **Contee Watershed Trail** (1.6 miles, loop)
Start at the Contee Mansion Ruins (the two brick chimneys on a hilltop about 1/2 mile past the entrance), and take in a scenic overlook of the Rhode River. From there, the trail dives into the forest and alongside a stream, with additional overlooks of the woods along the way.
* **Squirrel Neck Loop** (1.0 miles, loop)
The trailhead starts just beyond the Contee Mansion Ruins, forming a mile-long loop through the forest. The trail runs parallel to the Contee Watershed Trail for about 1/4 mile.
* **Woodlawn History Trail** (1.0 miles no loop)
Discover how humans have shaped and reshaped the land that is now the SERC campus, on a walk through history. Start at the Woodlawn History Center near the entrance.
There is a pavilion at the Reed Education Center where you can have a picnic lunch.
Please view the [FAQ's](https://serc.si.edu/visit/faq) for more information on visiting SERC.
SPECIAL NOTE: When you RSVP, you are registering for the 1:30pm tour.
If your plans change, please keep your RSVP current.
I hope to see you on Sunday, June 21st, as we celebrate the longest day of the year at the Woodlawn House Museum at SERC!

From Tolerance to True Unity (Free Event)
**MLK Library - Room 401A**
Is tolerance enough? Or can it sometimes just be prejudice in disguise? Or even hate?
In an increasingly divided society, does simply “tolerating” others sometimes inadvertently separate us all into “us” and “them” categories in our minds (and hearts!), only serving to further reinforce those divisions? How can spirituality and the dual concepts of the “Oneness of Mankind” and “Unity in Diversity” help us to see past our differences and regard all – whether family, friend, or stranger – as one of “us” and part of our own shared story? How can we see our differences not as something to be merely tolerated but rather as a source of strength for our communities?
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 role of love for all of humanity in moving beyond tolerance. Join us for a lively discussion as we explore how a spiritual foundation can enable us to work together for the betterment of ourselves, our families, our communities and our world.
*“Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone, let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path.”* – Bahá’í Teachings
**\*\*\* This event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will not be accepted.**

The Purpose Of Our Worship Of God
The purpose of our worship is to glorify, honor, praise, exalt, and please God. The nature of the worship God demands is the prostration of our souls before Him in humble and contrite submission.
Jesus says in John 4:23-24, "But the hour is coming, and now is when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."It doesn’t say we can worship God any way we want, but we "must worship Him in spirit and in truth". The word "must" makes it absolute. There is no other way we can worship God and be acceptable to Him.
God seeks true worshippers, and He identifies them as those who "worship Him in spirit and in truth". Worshipping God in spirit means that it must be done from the heart. Worshipping God in truth means that it must be done according to God has specified in the Bible.
Come with Expectations:
Expect to experience the Presence of the Lord. Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and flow in the spirit.
Expect "Soaking Time" This is your personal time seeking the Lord while listening to prerecorded music, as directed by the Holy Spirit. Come 15 to 30 minutes early for soaking time.
Expect an atmosphere of freedom to worship and liberty in Christ Jesus.
Expect the Holy Spirit to administer Spiritual Gifts in the Body of Christ: The Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge faith, gifts of healings, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues (languages), interpretation of tongues (languages), 1 Corinthians 12.
Expect singing and praying in the spirit with understanding, 1 Corinthians 14:15
Expect to be filled with the spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, making melody in your heart to the Lord. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:18-20
Expect anointed teachings/preaching of the Word Of God.
Expect to lay prostrate while seeking the Lord (bring a throw blanket).
Note: The above is freely administered by the Holy Spirit, subject to change, and is not all-inclusive. There is much more, but cannot be written here. Remember God sent you here for a purpose.
Blessed be God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3
We love you in Jesus's name.

**ONLINE** Mindfulness Meditation with Hugh Byrne
**NOW ONLINE**
The weekly Sunday morning (10:30 am to 12 noon) class begins with a welcome, short reflection on an aspect of the teachings, and includes an arriving meditation (15 minutes) that will often incorporate poems and may end with a reflection or question.
The opening meditation is followed by an invitation to each person to share their name and a few words (for example, what is alive for them right now or what their intention is for the class or the day). The sharing has been a powerful support to help welcome new people, get to know each other, and build community/sangha.
Following a brief period of mindful stretching/movement, we finish with a longer meditation (25-30 minutes) and final reflections on the teachings, sharing, Q&A, and announcements. Class participants are welcome to stay and engage with other members of the community or adjourn to a neighboring restaurant or coffee shop.
This space is inclusive, everyone is welcome, and we invite you to bring with you all aspects of yourself.

Monthly Meetup
**MoCo Psychedelic Society — Monthly Gathering** 📅 Date/Time May 23rd \| 1:00 – 3:00 PM 📍 Connie Morella Bethesda Public Library \~ Medium Room
Come join us for our monthly gathering — a space for fellowship, learning, advocacy, and community connection. Whether you're a familiar face or joining us for the first time, you are welcome here.
***
**✨ This Month: Understanding Psychedelics: The Journey Continues — Part Two**
Are you new to psychedelics, or simply curious to learn more? This is the meeting for you.
This session goes deeper. Building on Part One, we'll explore what actually happens in a psychedelic experience — from personal healing and ego death to mystical states and entity contact — and then get practical: safety protocols, contraindications, substance testing, and how to choose or vet a sitter or retreat. We'll also cover microdosing protocols, the ethics of touch and consent in ceremonial settings, how to find and grow your own medicines, and what integration really requires after the journey ends. Whether you're newly curious or already walking this path, this is an evidence-informed, judgment-free conversation for adults who want to navigate this territory wisely.
No prior knowledge is required — just curiosity and an open mind.
\*\*\*
**A Few Important Notes**
The MoCo Psychedelic Society is a community space for education, connection, and advocacy — not a venue for sourcing or sales.
All information shared at this event is for **educational purposes only** and does not constitute medical advice or encourage the use of any illegal substance.
A note on legality: Most psychedelic substances are currently classified as **Schedule I** controlled substances by the DEA. Their use outside of clinical trial settings or states where they are becoming legal remains illegal in the United States. **Ketamine** is an exception — it is legal when administered by a licensed medical professional.

We hope to see you there. Come as you are. 🌱
Saint Anselm's Abbey
This one is for the soul. Let's visit Saint Anselm's Abbey and spend some time exploring a living Benedictine monastery.
This is not a guided tour or a typical social meetup. The idea is simply to experience this, spend time on our own: walking quietly, sitting, reflecting, and taking in the atmosphere. Please respect any signs, restricted areas, services in progress, and the privacy of the monastic community
Saint Anselm's is home to a community of Benedictine monks who follow a rhythm of prayer, work, study, and community life rooted in the Rule of St. Benedict, written nearly 1,500 years ago. Visiting offers a glimpse into a tradition that has endured across centuries and continues today.
Things you may appreciate:
: The abbey church and its atmosphere of silence and prayer.
: The opportunity to hear the monks chant or participate in the liturgy, if one is taking place.
: The contrast between the monastery's quiet setting and the surrounding city.
: The simplicity, beauty, and contemplative spirit of monastic life.
Format
: We will keep the group small (around 10 people), but we wont be walking together, or talking.
: Please explore independently and maintain a respectful, quiet presence.
: This is not a group tour, discussion circle, or networking event.
: I will be there, but I won't be leading the visit or guiding anyone through the grounds.
: Afterward, those who wish can gather outside the monastery or at a nearby café to discuss what they noticed and experienced.
: The intention is simply to create space to slow down, observe, and encounter a place devoted to prayer, contemplation, and community life.
Nutritarian Potluck and Resource Sharing
Please bring a nutritarian dish or salad to share with at least 8 members. Also, you could bring containers to take home etras at the end of the evening. We will share resouces, recipes and other info as we support each other in choosing high nutrient dense eating.
Sunday Morning Meditation
**Weekly Sunday Meditation Classes with Sanema Naomi Hardrick**
* Each class begins with **guided breathing meditation**, to help settle the mind, let go of distractions and cultivate inner peace. The meditation is followed by a brief, traditional Buddhist prayer, called *Liberating Prayer.*
* The Teacher will then give a **practical teaching** based on the topic of the class series and explain how we can integrate Buddha’s timeless wisdom into our busy daily lives.
* The teaching is then followed by a **guided meditation** to help us mix our mind with the teaching and take it to heart.
* Time permitting, at the end of the meditation class we spend a few minutes in **group discussion** and the teacher will take any **questions** that the class might have about the topic.
**COST:**
Standard: $12 \| Financial Hardship: $6 \| [Register](https://meditation-dc.org/sunday-mornings/)
\*\*[Member Pricing: ](https://meditation-dc.org/membership/)\*\*FREE & Available as an online class.

Columbus: Luke 3
"Do as I say, not as I do." Children tend to have a built-in ability to recognize hypocrisy quicker than many adults, and there are few children who will respect an adult whose actions do not match his or her words.
John the Baptizer wanted to make it clear that God himself is in NO way pleased by people who claim to follow Him and whose lives in NO way reflect His character. In fact, the Greek word for "actor" that people used in the first century is *"hypokrites"*. John called out the truth to any and all who would listen--from peasants to the king, even at peril of his own life and freedom--and insisted God does not judge by words alone, but by actions and in truth.
Luke Chapter 3 concludes with making it clear to the Jewish and Greek readers of the day that Jesus was not only the rightful King of Israel, but also the true Son of Man--the Son of Adam, Who came to provide a way for those who had followed Adam into sin to return to fellowship with God.
Take a look at Luke Chapter 3 and join us at **10 am,** **Sunday, June 28,** at **True Food Kitchen at Easton Town Center.** We'd love to see you there!

Christ The Healer, Columbus, Ohio
From the moment sin entered the world, death began. Adam and Eve were not stricken dead immediately, but the process by which none of us lives forever in health and wholeness in these earthly bodies started its inexorable march to the inevitable end—death. The Bible makes it clear that by one man’s sin, death came to all mankind, but that by the obedience of One Perfect Man, Jesus, many are made righteous (Romans 5:19).
F.F. Bosworth recognized this truth; he also would have people consider that the God Who provided for our greatest need—salvation from eternal death—would also provide healing for the lesser, but still great needs, of health and healing from sickness, disease, and the consequences of sin that we encounter before we die.
Join us as we examine the case for biblical healing in the book first published in 1924, ***Christ The Healer*. We meet at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center on Tuesday, July 7, 2026 at 6:30 pm.**
