Join our ASL Brunch on Sundays in Greenbelt! All ASL users and learners are welcome. Brunches are alternately held at two restaurants in Greenbelt, both in the same town plaza. ODD WEEKS: 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays, we meet at Cedars of Lebanon, 103 Centerway. EVEN WEEKS: 2nd and 4th Sundays, we meet at New Deal Café,113 Centerway. We are the Greenbelt ASL Community, a group of both Deaf and hearing people who hang out, chat about everyday goings on, trade stories, get to know each other better, and of course, enjoy food together. Many members use ASL as their primary language, several are interpreters or other fluent ASL users, while others are ASL learners who wish to improve their skills while making new friends. Before or after brunch, you can visit the farmer's market and small coop grocery store in the plaza. Please RSVP so we can contact you via email if needed. Our group is on Facebook as Greenbelt ASL Community. Some longtime Brunch attendees don't mark their attendance here, so feel free to stop by even if you don't see others who have RSVP'd on Meet-up.

Let’s head to the arcade and have a Gay old time! We will have a large table reserved up front - look for a rainbow flag! If it is noce out we will set up on the outside patio. We can play our hearts out on old school 80s and 90s games. The kitchen will close at 3pm so come on the early side for lunch or snacks. They have parking! Lots of parking behind the arcade on 1st street as well as there own parking lot for patrons. This is a family friendly event! As well as pet friendly outside on their back patio.

Cost: free Court Type: Outdoor Sand Level: Social (everyone is welcome) Transportation: Parking will be right in front of the courts. What to bring: a ball if you have one. This is a social volleyball which means as long as you played volleyball before and can keep some rally going you can attend. The point is to practice being a team player, have fun, be social, and make friends. We should try to have 2 passes before sending the ball over on most plays. Let's get everyone involved in the game.

Family Constellation work is a powerful experiential process for discovering the hidden dynamics operating within families and systems. Often the struggles we carry—conflicts, repeating patterns, unexplained emotions, or blocks in life—are not only personal but connected to deeper, unseen loyalties in our family lineage. In a constellation workshop we learn to slow down and look at what actually is, without judgment or blame. By respectfully acknowledging forgotten or excluded members of a system, and by allowing what has been hidden to be seen, the deeper intelligence of the field begins to reveal unexpected solutions. As order is restored, people often find themselves able to release burdens that were never truly theirs to carry. Unconscious entanglements between victim and perpetrator can soften, making space for dignity and understanding on all sides. Participants frequently experience a renewed sense of belonging—to their family, their life, and their place in the larger human story. Through the shared field of the group, movements toward resolution emerge organically, allowing individuals to step forward with greater clarity, strength, and freedom. Randy Goldberg, LMT is a graduate of the DC Hellinger Institute, and of advanced studies in Family Constellation with Heinz Stark of Germany. He is a former Yoga monk, Craniosacral therapist, and a world-renowned astrologer (both Western and Vedic) interviewed by the Washington Post, NPR, and CNN. He has facilitated Family Constellation therapy for individuals and groups for more than 20 years.

ike Turkey Run Park- Pho Lunch, VA Sunday March 8 With winter weather receding, this is a great way to fight cabin fever and head back outside with views of the Potomac. This is a 3 to 4 mile loop hike along the Potomac River just below the American Legion bridge off the GW parkway. The trail is mostly easy and flat, but there are some slightly rocky areas. Be aware that this time of year where segments along the river can be muddy and there are some rocky areas we must maneuver around. Bring a mascot! The park is dog-friendly, but must be on a leash.

This class is a perfect stepping stone from our flagship My Body Don't Bend That Way classes to traditional Vinyasa and Flow classes.

Let's hike the Billy Goat A Trail along the Potomac River. It is one of our favorite hikes in the local area. It’s challenging due to rock scrambling and some steep sections, but it’s also rewarding as it has spectacular views of the Potomac River. We currently plan to meet at 10 am at [Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center](https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/greatfallstavernvisitorcenter.htm), which requires park pass or parking fee. If only a few people sign up, we will consider parking at the much smaller Angler parking lot. Will confirm when it’s closer to the date. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* From nps.gov: ### Section A **Level:**Technical and Strenuous **Length:** 1.75 miles one way **Pets:** Not permitted **Closest Parking**: [Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center](https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/greatfallstavernvisitorcenter.htm) **Map and Trail Tips:** [Great Falls Hiking Map](https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/maps.htm) The hike involves scrambling over angled rocks, boulders and climbing. Visitors in less than optimal health, visitors with small children, and visitors not experienced or properly outftted should consider other trail options. The 1.7 mile hike takes most visitors 2-3 hours to complete. Along the trail are views of Mather Gorge and Potomac River. This trail can close due to fooding from the river. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Please bring enough water and optional snacks and wear proper shoes. Climbing / gardening gloves are suggested for rock scrambling. Rest Room Facilities: There are facilities at the beginning and at the end of the hike. There are none along the trail once we start. In case of inclement weather, the hike will be canceled or postponed.

Whether you're Deaf, HoH, an interpreter, an ASL student, or just want to learn or practice American Sign Language (ASL), we welcome all levels of signers to come join us for an evening of ASL socializing and practice. This event occurs on the first and third Sundays of every month, in the heart of Fairfax County at the Fairfax Wegman's (corner of Route 29 and Monument Drive). We can be found on the upper level, typically near the stairs. We generally start around 7 pm. ASL beginners are welcome, but you should know the ASL alphabet and some basic signs - this is not an ASL class, but the more experienced signers are generally happy to help beginners learn and improve. There is no better way to develop your signing skills than by joining the conversation with other signers. There is a place for everyone to join, learn and practice. Regardless, we are always welcoming so don’t be discouraged to attend; this is very informal and new folks are always welcome. Note, some attendees arrive early and grab some of Wegman’s food for dinner, so you can combine a shopping trip with the ASL practice.

**This is an outdoor speed dating event. Bring a lawn chair. We’ll be sitting in the shade.**
 Then, grab a name tag.
Everyone will be provided an index card and pen, in which you’ll write your name at the top and phone number or email. Number the card as you go and write each person’s name you meet. Next to their name, write yes or no / Y or N, after the bell rings.
We’ll have 4 minutes for each interaction. When the bell rings; men, get up and have a seat with the next lady.
At the end of the event, I’ll collect all of the cards. If the guy and gal both selected ‘yes’ for each other, then I’ll send her contact info to the lucky guy to contact the lady for a date! You’ll recieve your matches within 2 days. 
*This event may also be posted on Eventbrite
