We’ll continue sharing upcoming events there so that new people can find us, but [Luma](https://luma.com/civic-tech-dc) will be our primary registration platform moving forward. **Why we're making the switch** Meetup’s registration system has some limitations, and we need more flexibility to manage sign-ups and engagement. \-\-\-\-\-\- [REGISTER FOR THE EVENT HERE (ON LUMA)!](https://luma.com/be8kjf6n) \-\-\-\-\-\-

**The 3% Advantage** **Why Only a Few Leaders Truly Stand Out — and How to Become One of Them** **FREE 1\-hour interactive webinar \| Leadership\, Positioning & Growth** \*\*\* **Join Dr Edward Klinger and learn why:** Most capable professionals and business leaders never truly stand out. Not because they lack talent, experience, or ambition — but because they operate without a clear system for differentiation. In crowded markets, competence is no longer enough. The real challenge is clarity. This session is for people who are tired of blending in — and want to understand what the top 3% do differently. Join Dr Edward Klinger for a practical, insight-driven webinar that explores why only a small minority of leaders consistently stand out, attract opportunity, and command attention — and what it actually takes to join them. \*\*\* **What you’ll learn** * Why most professionals and businesses become indistinguishable * The hidden cost of “professional sameness” * The 3 concrete actions you can take immediately to begin standing out * How clarity, consistency, and leadership decisions create long-term advantage * Why tactics alone don’t work without an underlying system This is not a motivational talk. And it’s not a marketing hack session. It’s about positioning, leadership clarity, and intentional growth. \*\*\* **Who this is for** * Business owners and founders * Executives and senior leaders * Consultants, coaches, and professional service providers * Anyone who feels capable but under-recognised * Leaders who want to stop reacting and start designing their direction If you know you’re good at what you do — but struggle to articulate it clearly, consistently, or confidently — this session will be highly relevant. \*\*\* You’ll leave with: * Clear insight into why standing out is so rare * Practical actions you can apply immediately * A deeper understanding of the system behind sustained differentiation \*\*\* Free to attend. Limited spaces. Stop blending in. Start operating with intent — like the 3% *Please note : The zoom link allows you to register and then the workshop zoom link is emailed to you. You can register in advance of the event.* The Adapt and Thrive Events Group wholeheartedly supports the policies and principles of Meetup. We make no guarantees and we do not offer financial services or assurances. All our Meetup Events are FREE to attend.

**Tired of surface-level conversations?** Join us for *Ditch the Small Talk*—an evening of deep, real connection with strangers who are down to go there. We’ll meet in the grass in front of the cathedral, break into small groups, and draw questions from a deck of cards designed to spark vulnerable, honest conversations. How it works: Draw a card and ask a question. Listen. Don't coach or give advice without permission. Try to ask follow-up questions when people share. You can spend 1 minute on a question or 1 hour, just go with the flow. **If you show up late, please don't interrupt the speaker. Just sit down in a group of your choice and they'll bring you up to speed when whoever is talking finishes. Bring a blanket or chair if you don't want to sit in the grass. *** Rules*** 1. Don't debate politics 2. Keep what is shared in the group within the group 3. If you need to use your phone, step away from your group first

This is an opportunity for volunteers to support a professional mechanic as he guides customers working on their own bikes. If you know how to do some basic repairs, that's a plus, but even if you don't, you can greet customers and manage who gets helped next. Feel free to attend for only a portion of the time if you can't be there the whole three hours. Please note that this event is not usually an opportunity to learn about bicycle repair, since the mechanic tends to be very busy helping customers, especially during the warmer months. But it's a great way to contribute to Velocity, since almost all the funding for the volunteer program comes from the work done at the shops.

Most agents think scaling a business will eventually create freedom. Instead, many end up with more people, more pressure, and even less time. On Wednesday, May 27 at 8:00 PM EST, join us live for a conversation with Dr. Al Philip-Neri, Performance Psychologist, Realtor, and real estate operator with investments across 21 U.S. markets. This session is focused on the execution side of business growth: • Leadership • Hiring • Systems • Accountability • Operational structure Not motivational fluff. Not generic mindset talk. This is a practical conversation about what it actually takes to stop being the bottleneck in your own business and build something that can operate without you carrying every moving part yourself. In this live session, we'll discuss: ✔ Why growth does not automatically create freedom ✔ The hidden reason your business still depends on you ✔ How the wrong hires quietly slow momentum and execution ✔ What changes when the right people are in the right roles ✔ How to transition from operator to true business owner This session is ideal for: • Brokerage owners • Team leaders • Agents building toward a team • Growth-minded entrepreneurs This is a live Zoom event only. No replay will be available. Please register through Zoom after RSVP'ing on Meetup so you receive the login link.

Learn to manage stress and achieve self-growth through simple relaxation and Meditation. Heartfulness Meditation is a simple, modern, methodical approach to meditation. Rather than homing in on your breath or repeating a mantra, you simply focus inward, on your heart, to cultivate inner strength and serenity. Heartfulness meditation is gaining traction in recent years. It focuses on the heart, allowing individuals to connect with themselves on a deeper level, and ultimately achieve peace, relaxation, and clarity. It is a practice that encourages patience, self-compassion, and acceptance, helping cultivate a deeper appreciation for the present moment. This practice is offered with love and at no cost

In times of uncertainty and rapid change, staying calm and grounded can feel challenging. Yet true stability comes from within. We’ll explore techniques to manage stress, steady your thoughts, and respond to life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. Discover how to remain centered, resilient, and emotionally strong, no matter what’s happening around you. Leave feeling calmer, clearer, and empowered from the inside out. Sat., May 30th, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm. Held at Meditation Museum, 9525 Georgia Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20910. Free Event – Register at: [https://shorturl.at/JexuO](https://shorturl.at/JexuO)

Hands-on learn how to save life & limb, when mired in the wilderness of an urban disaster zone, travel or rural area far from hospital, or natural area miles from an access point, during the critical minutes or hours before ambulance arrival. Come away with actual do-it-yourself care-giving skill and confidence, and 2-year SOLO certification. Counts as WFR Recertification, too. No prerequisites. YOUR SPOT IS NOT RESERVED UNTIL YOU'VE COMPLETELY REGISTERED AT WWW.SOLOWFA.COM \***Spaces are limited. REGISTER: www.solowfa.com or 434.326.4697** Can't make these dates? Check out more course locations and dates on our website. WHO: Open to the general public, adults & teens with solid attention spans. Know your loved ones are safe wherever they are. WHY: Mired in a disaster zone, travel or rural area far from a hospital, or natural area miles from an access point ... accidents, destructive weather, and terrorism happen, and all-too-often members of a group are not capable of dealing with the emergency. This leads to improper care of the patient, and endangers the entire group. Many recreational accidents are preventable, and improper care of trauma can compound even simple injuries. Very few first aid programs actually address the issues of providing emergency care in a setting where 911 is overwhelmed or not immediately reachable. In this course, classroom instruction and Q&A are interwoven with practical work and problem-solving exercises. Hands-on experience - a most powerful learning tool - during scenarios comprise \~50% of class. TIMING: This is a 2-day class, Saturday and Sunday, 8:00am -7pm each day. Fee: $295 (Earlybird)

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

MCKS PRANIC HEALING® Level I In PRANIC HEALING® Level 1, you learn the basics of working with your energy aura, including learning to "scan," or feel the energy, to "sweep," or clean away congested energy, and to "energize," or supplement areas in your aura that have a pranic deficiency. PRANIC HEALING® has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALING® very effective and easy to apply. Other topics covered in PRANIC HEALING® Level 1: Energetic anatomy: You will learn to work with the network of chakras, meridians and auras to accelerate the healing processes of your body. Preventive healing: You will learn to remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a physical ailment. Self-Pranic healing: You will learn to apply these healing techniques to accelerate your own healing.

You'll also learn how to address common problems as migraines and sinusitis. Additionally, you'll learn to apply distant healing to loved ones who are not present in the room with you. All PRANIC HEALING® courses are "experiential," which means that you learn by actually performing the techniques and exercises in class - on yourself and those around you. During class, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and you will practice the techniques exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course.
