This event will immediately follow our 11am sound bath in case you’d like to join for both. This will be an opportunity to both tap into divination and intuition. No prior or level of experience needed and you are welcome to participate at your own comfort level. We will spread a variety of tarot decks and attendees are also welcome to spread their decks. One person at a time will have an opportunity to query a deck. Afterwards, everyone else will be invited to intuitively share any insights that may arrive. In this way, all will have the opportunity to both receive and share readings, and the person querying will receive a broad range of feedback and insights. Suggested offering for this event is $15-$25, but please reach out to us beforehand if you would like to arrange alternative consideration. With Love and Gratitude

Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area. Bring your writing materials (such as a notebook or a charged laptop - outlets are limited.) And if you'd like to tune out other patrons at Sonny's or any overhead music, we recommend bringing headphones or earplugs. BEING LATE IS OKAY: Just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! When you show up, I will be sitting at a table with folded "Shut Up & Write" table cards. Say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries! **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Hi everyone! We're finally ready to introduce our little girl!. Let's do a relaxed picnic at the Netherlands Carillon. Bring a blanket and some snacks or lunch for yourselves, plus your little ones if you have them. We'll find a shady spot and just hang out, no agenda, come and go as nap times allow. Babies, toddlers, and partners all welcome. Heads up that this is weather dependent. If it's looking rainy or too hot, we'll post an update here the morning of.

Hello! For May, we're in Maryland for a nice lunch buffet. See the menu here: https://assets.peblla.net/17327851650786d5d46c3f3934f6d81acf9a1aaf79f06.pdf There is a parking lot. Alternatively, you can walk from the Twinbrook stop on the Red Line. A couple of disclaimers: this is not a "meet market." Many of us desire to become DINKs at some point, while others do not; let's not assume the former for anyone. In the spirit of the overall group, this is inclusive in that regard. But please just come with the intent to have fun and connect with other CFs, not to hook up or partner up. If it happens naturally, awesome. But please don't have that goal in mind. You can bring a guest provided they're single and childfree. If something comes up and you can't make it, please switch your RSVP to "no" by Friday, 5/22 at 5 p.m. That said, if you've repeatedly signed up and then switched your RSVP to "no," I reserve the right to move you to the waitlist if we have enough people wanting to go. Reservations are limited to ten; if anybody wants to make their own reservation so we can have more, let me know, and I'll increase the size.
