Manifestation

**Harness the Magic, the Practicality of your Sixth Sense for 2026** We are all psychic; it’s not a gift for just “special people”. We use our extrasensory perceptions daily, such as from having inner knowings about people to receiving a feeling to make a certain purchase or business decision at a certain time. Join this free meet up to see how your intuition works for you and how to expand it. Also, covered in this event: • increasing inner harmony • learning about the reality of spirit guides or master souls that back us, and how to communicate with them • seeing how stress and pressure undermine our intuitive nature, and how to minimize these pressures in life **Drawing upon Experiences and Life Lessons** This meet up will include attendees from meet ups in other locations. (We've teamed up with others!) The facilitators of the meet ups have years of experience leading talks, workshops and courses on these topics, and have shared about them in regular media interviews in Canada, the US and Europe. They have used this ability to better their own lives, and enjoy passing along this knowledge to others. This meet up is being held at these times: Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026 at 2 pm, then at 10 pm and then Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at 8 pm. Here are the links to register for the events. Once registered you will be emailed a link to attend. For the Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026 class at 2 pm: [https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/HT17Gum0SEq-8SDrW6cJXw](https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/HT17Gum0SEq-8SDrW6cJXw) For the Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026 class at 10 pm: [https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/MRKvf82R3SPQ3cuVM9Evg](https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/MRKvf82R3SPQ3cuVM9Evg) For the Wednesday, January 14, 2026 class at 8 pm: [https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/eNY_KkAVSBCHOl3Tm3f8Pw](https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/eNY_KkAVSBCHOl3Tm3f8Pw) Note though...while we realize you are psychic, we do suggest you set a timer alert for yourself so you don’t miss the chance to attend this energizing event. We do not record these events for play back later; they are best experienced in the moment. After a long absence, we are so looking forward to this doing this meet up! #Metaphysics #Spirituality #Spiritual Growth ##

This training is designed for real estate agents who want to learn how to play the Agent Investor game. The goal of this training is to help you flip your income into ownership. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Most real estate agents build their business one transaction at a time.** Investors build wealth—and they buy repeatedly. The Investor Decoder shows why serving investors is the fastest path to predictable income, repeat deal flow, and a higher-value role in real estate. In this session, you’ll learn how to identify and serve the four core investor profiles that drive the majority of investor activity: * The Flipper – speed, volume, and clear exits * The Landlord – long-term cash flow and stability * The Creative Investor – complex deals and problem-solving * The Private Lender – capital partners who enable scale You’ll discover how each profile thinks, what they value most, and what they expect from an agent—so you can position yourself as a trusted advisor instead of just another salesperson. We’ll also cover: * Why investors represent a massive opportunity in today’s market * How working with investors elevates you to a Real Estate Wealth Advisor * The key questions that quickly decode investor goals and timelines * A clear action plan to start building your investor pipeline If you’re ready to escape the transaction treadmill and earn more by working with investors, this session will show you how. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Did you miss it?** [Watch all GRID Reston event playback on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTh5kxLLJI1G3VH6Pqhlhu0uTA8yrdpi) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Join the GRID Facebook Community** [Join the online GRID community here](https://www.facebook.com/groups/gridinvestor) to post deals, ask questions, and connect with other investors across the globe.

## 1 Million Cups Loudoun – January 14 ### Business Presentation Featuring Yomna Sarhan of L-Lab **Wednesday\, January 14 \| 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM** **Venture X Loudoun – Ashburn** Join us for our January 14th **1 Million Cups Loudoun** meeting as we welcome **Yomna Sarhan**, founder of **L-Lab**, an innovative after-school enrichment program designed to transform how children learn and grow beyond the classroom. ### About the Presenter Yomna Sarhan brings a diverse and impressive background to her entrepreneurial journey. She is a former **project manager overseeing $8M+ in government contracts**, has led **multidisciplinary teams of more than 20 employees**, and is a **multilingual consultant** who has worked in over **10 countries**. Yomna also founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the **Society of Egyptian American Professionals**, reflecting her long-standing commitment to education and community development. ### About the Business L-Lab was born out of a personal experience. When Yomna’s daughter was entering kindergarten, she discovered a lack of high-quality, enriching after-school programs in Loudoun County. Many existing programs focused solely on supervision rather than meaningful learning—despite children spending 10–15 hours per week and families investing significant resources in aftercare. L-Lab is changing that narrative. L-Lab is an **after-school language immersion enrichment program** for elementary-aged children, blending: * STEAM-based learning * Social-emotional development * Montessori-inspired approaches In addition to after-school programming, L-Lab offers **full-day camps** during school breaks, including winter, spring, and teacher workdays. ### Where Yomna Is Now L-Lab is currently in the **launch/startup phase**, with the full after-school program beginning in early January and a winter break program running at the end of December. Yomna is focused on enrollment, program validation, and building a strong foundation for growth. ### Feedback Yomna Is Seeking from the Community Yomna is coming to the 1 Million Cups stage looking for thoughtful feedback and insight on key challenges, including: * How to **shift the mindset around after-school programs** from “time-filling childcare” to meaningful enrichment * The most strategic way to **scale after a successful pilot** (January–June): * Expanding curriculum into schools * Focusing on one location first * How to **find and retain high-quality part-time staff** aligned with L-Lab’s mission and values ### Who Should Attend Yomna would especially love to have: * Entrepreneurs with experience **scaling service-based businesses** * Founders who have **modified or diversified offerings as they grew** * Parents and guardians interested in education, enrichment, and after-school programming ### What Is 1 Million Cups? 1 Million Cups is a national program powered by the Kauffman Foundation that brings together entrepreneurs and community members for weekly conversations that educate, support, and inspire. Loudoun’s chapter meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month. Join us on **January 14 at 9:00 AM** for coffee, connection, and a meaningful conversation about reimagining after-school education in Loudoun County. **We look forward to seeing you there.**

Our local amphibians and reptiles are both susceptible to habitat destruction and pollutants and can often be victims of being misunderstood. Join Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy for an introductory look at our local amphibians and reptiles, what our citizens can do to help protect their habitats, and what related programs are available through Loudoun Wildlife to help monitor populations and increase community awareness of these often overlooked and fragile species. This presentation takes place at Rust Library and is co-sponsored by the Loudoun County Public Library and Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy.
