In the heart of Bethesda, an evening awaits that feels like a coastal escape without ever leaving the city. Our singles mixer brings together the breezy charm of the Chesapeake with a warm, social atmosphere designed for effortless connection and genuine conversation. Step into a space filled with inviting energy, where singles gather not just to meet, but to truly engage. Whether you're hoping to spark a romantic connection or simply walk away with a few new friends, the setting makes it easy to relax, be yourself, and enjoy the moment. The nautical-inspired vibe sets the tone—subtle, stylish, and just a little transportive. Think soft lighting, a hint of seaside influence, and a crowd that’s equal parts interesting and open. It’s a refreshing change from the usual, where the environment naturally encourages conversation to flow. Throughout the night, conversations unfold organically, laughter carries easily, and connections begin in the most natural way. There’s no pressure—just a shared understanding that everyone is here for something real, whether that’s friendship, romance, or simply a great night out. Join us in Bethesda for a singles mixer that captures the spirit of the Chesapeake and the excitement of meeting someone new. Come curious, leave connected, and let the night take you somewhere unexpected. **Can't make this event?

Hey everyone! We had some requests from a few people to try an online event for busy schedules.

Bring your wonderful faces, and let's have some laughs!

**GO TO EVENTBRITE FOR LINK TO MEETING:** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/recovering-from-religion-virtual-support-group-meeting-registration-159506756001?aff=oddtdtcreator This is an RfR-wide event, not tied to any particular local chapter. The Virtual Chapter Recovering From Religion support group will meet the the 1st Sunday of each month at 6 PM Central Time AS WELL AS at the 3rd Saturday of each month at 9 AM. This meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. Attendees are welcome to share, but may also decide to remain anonymous if they so choose. The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. We are here to help each other through this journey. There is no cost to attend this support group but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone. Go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org and click on the green chat bubble in the lower left corner of the site to chat online. If you are in need of professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at www.seculartherapy.org. Like what RfR does? Why not volunteer! There are quite a few options. Head over to www.recoveringfromreligion.org/volunteer for more info.
