D.C.'s tourist buses ply a small, predictable circle around the monumental downtown. D.C.'s Metrobuses, on the other hand, make a dramatic sweep around the whole city. Join us for the better of the two rides! We'll start at beautiful transit hub Union Station, take the D80 up to Tenleytown in Upper Northwest; then the crosstown C81 across the park to Ft. Totten; and finally the D30 down North Capitol street to return to Union Station. We'll have lunch in the station's food court. Bonus: travel bingo cards will be distributed for those who want even more from their transit outing! Hope you all can make it!

This is a VIRTUAL FREE event every week. To get access details please [click here](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-recharge-fill-up-sis-tickets-1984961497272?aff=oddtdtcreator) If you’ve been pouring into everyone else and quietly running on empty… this space was created for you. There comes a moment in a woman’s life when she realizes she has been pouring into everyone and everything else… while quietly running on empty. The responsibilities. The expectations. The emotional labor. And somewhere in the middle of holding it all together, she forgets what it feels like to be **fully supported, fully resourced, and fully seen**. **The Recharge: Fill Up Sis** is **a sacred weekly virtual meetup** created for women who are ready to pause, recalibrate their energy, and reconnect with themselves in powerful community. This is not a motivational talk. This is not surface-level inspiration. This is a room where women gather to **release what they’ve been carrying, restore their energy, and remember the power of being in [intentional sisterhood](https://thewombsauna.com/wcoe "https://thewombsauna.com/wcoe").** ## What Happens in The Recharge? Each session is a guided experience where women come together to: * **Release** stress, emotional weight, and the pressure of carrying everything alone * **Restore** their energy through meaningful conversation, reflection, and grounding practices * **Rise** into clarity about what their next level of life and leadership requires * **Radiate** with renewed confidence, alignment, and direction This space allows you to experience the tone, leadership, and sisterhood that define the deeper work we do together. ## The Integration Lab: Where Knowledge Becomes Embodiment Many women spend years gathering wisdom. Books. Podcasts. Workshops. Spiritual insight. Therapy. Coaching. At a certain point, the question is no longer: **“What else do I need to learn?”** The real question becomes: **“Where am I actually practicing the life I say I want?”** The **Integration Lab** is the weekly coaching and practice space inside our **[1-Year Self Development Program](thewombsauna.com/programs)**. It is where women stop circulating knowledge and begin **embodying it**. Inside the Lab, we work in real time with the patterns, decisions, emotions, and relationships shaping your life right now. Awareness becomes action. Insight becomes discipline. And personal growth becomes a lived lifestyle. Women gather weekly to: * apply what they know to real-life challenges * strengthen emotional regulation and self-leadership * practice accountability in sacred sisterhood * build the consistency required to live differently This is not a space for passive listening. It is a space for **active personal development and sacred community life.** ## Who This Space Is For? This gathering is for women who: * are tired of carrying everything alone * know they are capable of more but feel stretched thin * value personal development and emotional growth * desire a circle of women who are serious about their evolution * are exploring whether they are ready to invest in a **year of intentional growth** Many women who attend **The Recharge** are preparing themselves to decide whether they are ready to step into the deeper commitment of the **[1-Year Self Development Program](https://thewombsauna.com/programs "https://thewombsauna.com/programs")**. ## What You Should Know This experience is **free**, but it is intentional. Women who attend are often exploring what it would look like to: * prioritize their personal development * practice emotional and spiritual growth consistently * participate in a high-level community of women committed to living consciously Come with curiosity. Come with honesty. Come with the willingness to pour back into yourself. ## Hosted By ## **[Thema Azize Serwa](https://thewombsauna.com/thema "https://thewombsauna.com/thema")** Founder of **[The Womb Sauna](https://thewombsauna.com/ "https://thewombsauna.com")** and creator of transformational spaces where women gather to **release, restore, rise, and radiate**. After overcoming eight years of infertility and PCOS, Thema devoted her life to helping women reconnect with their bodies, their emotional wisdom, and the sacred power of intentional community. Through her work in womb wellness, self-development, and spiritual leadership, she has guided women around the world in creating lives that are rooted in clarity, healing, and self-mastery. ## Final Invitation If you’ve been gathering insight for years but feel ready to start **living differently**, this space will resonate deeply. Because transformation does not happen through inspiration alone. It happens through **consistent practice, honest reflection, and community that supports your evolution.** **Come recharge.**

Spot Energy Chakra Healing with Sharon Sirkis Do you have a nagging ache or pain or wish you felt more present and grounded? Come experience a fast, effective, and different way of healing through the use of chakra symbology. A couple attendees during this event will have the opportunity to volunteer to get on the table for a healing/insight. Sharon will also be adding some new techniques to this month’s session. This event will immediately follow our 11am Singing Bowl Sound Bath Meditation. You are welcome to join for both. FACILITATOR BIO: Sharon Sirkis graduated from the University of MD in 1979 with a BS in Nursing. She is also a Reiki Master, a certified Chakra Energy Healing Practitioner, an accredited T’ai Chi Chih teacher, a Black Belt in kenpo karate, and a singer and firekeeper for Native American sweat lodge ceremony. Sharon was led to study and assist with numerous classes in Chakra Energy Healing since 1998. She has also studied extensively at T’ai Sophia Institute for the Healing Arts (now MUIH), with Rosalyn Bruyere, world renowned energy healer. Sharon sees healing as a big puzzle, and she finds that Spot Energy Chakra Healings including dialogue and insights are a much quicker and more effective piece of the puzzle. She agrees that healers are actually conduits for the energy that supports the body’s innate wisdom to heal itself, although she considers herself to be an active contributor. Sharon believes her background has helped make her an extremely strong and grounded healer, and also one who connects easily with clients because of her sense of humor and down-to-earth manner.

[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Facing Fascism,”** on the history, hallmarks, and lingering power of a deadly ideology, with Kevin Matthews, professor of history at George Mason University and teacher of courses on early 20th century European history. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-facing-fascism](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-facing-fascism) .] Few political movements have aroused as much anger and fear as fascism. But despite its legacy of violence, persecution, and genocide, fascism continues to hold a strange attraction to many. Join historian Kevin Matthews for an in-depth look at an ideology that brought death to millions in Europe and yet continues to deeply influence our politics and culture. Dr. Matthews will start by discussing how the ideology of fascism arose in the aftermath of the First World War and took hold in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. To give you a better grasp of what exactly fascism is, he’ll discuss its central themes: Anti-democracy. Extreme nationalism and anti-communism. The use, or threat, of violence in politics. Rejection of established values such as scientific objectivity. Denial of equal rights, especially for women. The assertion of power where a power vacuum exists. We’ll examine the rise and fall of two notorious fascist dictators, Adolf Hitler of Germany and Benito Mussolini of Italy. For a time it was believed that fascism died in the ashes of the Second World War, but it clearly didn’t, and we’ll look at where it remains a political force today. Finally, we’ll examine how fascism continues to permeate popular culture in ways that trivialize it, popping up in music from punk to Madonna, with its latent eroticism making it the subject of films such as *The Night Porter.* Having been called “the most self-consciously visual of all political forms,” it enlisted fashion leaders to produce uniforms and continues today to inspire a look known as “Nazi chic.” Dr. Matthews previously has given fantastic Profs and Pints talks on Ireland’s fight for independence and on World War II German submarine attacks off our coasts. He’s sure to leave you with a much better understanding of fascism and a recognition that is has hardly gone away. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.) Image: Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler during Mussolini's 1940 visit in Munich (photographer unknown / public domain).
