## 💔 Heartbreak / Divorce Recovery Group (Bilingual / Bilingüe) Welcome to your Heartbreak/Divorce Recovery Group. We typically have 30 to 50+ participants per meeting, and you are not required to speak unless you feel ready. That said, we do ask that you listen to the opening remarks, which include a short talk and directions on where to access our free website and resource hub. Bienvenido a tu Grupo de Apoyo para Desamor y Divorcio (bilingüe). Normalmente contamos con 30 a 50+ participantes por reunión, y no estás obligado a hablar hasta que te sientas listo. Solo pedimos que escuches los comentarios iniciales, donde compartimos una breve charla y cómo acceder a nuestros recursos gratuitos. *** 💔 This group is for anyone with a broken heart. While many of our members are going through divorce, separation, or the end of a long-term relationship, you do not have to be going through a divorce to join us. If your heart is broken for any reason—loss, betrayal, confusion, or emotional exhaustion—you are welcome here. This is a place for healing, connection, and hope. 💔 Este grupo es para cualquier persona con el corazón roto. Aunque muchos de nuestros miembros están atravesando un divorcio, separación o el fin de una relación, no es necesario estar divorciándose para unirte. Si tu corazón está roto por cualquier motivo—pérdida, traición, confusión o agotamiento emocional—eres bienvenido aquí. Este es un espacio de sanación, conexión y esperanza. *** 🧭 If you are facing the end of a relationship... Whether you’re navigating a divorce, a difficult separation, or feel your relationship may be heading in that direction, you’ve come to the right place. These meetings offer a powerful kind of support that traditional friendships and family circles often can’t provide. By hearing from others who are walking a similar path, you’ll gain clarity, perspective, and strength. Over time, the chaos begins to make sense and the pain becomes more manageable. 🧭 Si estás enfrentando el final de una relación... Ya sea que estés atravesando un divorcio, una separación difícil o sientas que tu relación va en esa dirección, estás en el lugar correcto. Estas reuniones ofrecen un tipo de apoyo que muchas veces amigos y familiares no pueden brindar. Al escuchar a otros en un camino similar, encontrarás claridad, perspectiva y fortaleza. Poco a poco, la confusión disminuye y el dolor se vuelve más manejable. *** 🤝 What you can expect from this group / Qué puedes esperar: • Support – you are NOT alone / Apoyo – no estás solo • Friendship across all backgrounds / Amistad entre todas las edades y culturas • Good times with great people / Buenos momentos con gente increíble • Practical advice and shared wisdom / Consejos prácticos y experiencias reales • Resources – books, therapists, attorneys, and more / Recursos – libros, terapeutas, abogados y más • Meaningful conversation / Conversaciones significativas Our meetings are held **Thursday nights from 8:00–9:30 PM Eastern**, online and open worldwide, with attendees from across the U.S. and other countries. There is no fee to attend. You are welcome to join at any time and stay as long as you need. We are not affiliated with any specific organization, and all belief systems and backgrounds are welcome. Nuestras reuniones se llevan a cabo **los jueves por la noche de 8:00 a 9:30 PM (hora del Este)**, son en línea y abiertas a todo el mundo, con participantes de Estados Unidos y otros países. No hay costo para asistir. Puedes unirte en cualquier momento y quedarte el tiempo que necesites. No estamos afiliados a ninguna organización específica, y todas las creencias y orígenes son bienvenidos. *** “The sun will rise again, and who knows what the tide may bring.” — Cast Away, Tom Hanks “El sol volverá a salir, y quién sabe qué traerá la marea.” *** Please note: This is not a licensed therapy group. I am not a marriage counselor, psychiatrist, psychologist, or social worker—and neither are our facilitators. However, we can gladly refer you to licensed professionals if you feel that would be helpful. Nota importante: Este no es un grupo de terapia con licencia. No soy consejero matrimonial, psiquiatra, psicólogo ni trabajador social, y tampoco lo son los facilitadores. Sin embargo, podemos referirte a profesionales certificados si lo necesitas.

Come enjoy a day filled with fresh air, great views, and friendly company as we hike **Sugarloaf Mountain!** This hike is all about enjoying the outdoors, getting some exercise, making new friends, and sharing a memorable experience with a great group of people. We’ll meet at the **West View Parking Lot** (check the map pin for the exact location) and head out on a **4.6-mile loop** that will take about **3 hours**. The hike kicks off with a good workout as we climb the steps to the mountain’s peak, where we’ll pause to take in the stunning views, snap some photos, and catch our breath. From there, the trail becomes easier, leading us on a short hike to another scenic overlook before wrapping up. After the hike, join us for a casual meetup at **Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard**. Feel free to bring your own food, as it looks like there's no food truck scheduled. Please remember that outside alcohol is not allowed, but the vineyard offers wine by the glass for purchase. It’s the perfect way to relax, enjoy good conversation, and toast to a fantastic day spent outdoors. We’re excited to have you join us! Be sure to wear your hiking shoes, bring water, and pack your positive energy. Let’s make this a fun and refreshing fall day together! **Meeting Time & Location:** We’ll meet at **9:30 AM** at the Sugarloaf Mountain West View Parking Lot. Look for us by the picnic tables near the trailhead. **Distance:** 4.7 miles **Elevation Gain:** 965 feet **Difficulty:** Intermediate Hike This hike is rated Intermediate for its moderate inclines, including a challenging staircase to the summit at the start. The trail then descends for about 3 miles, with a few final inclines returning to the parking lot. There are no stream crossings or rock scrambles. **Estimated Duration** This hike is expected to take approximately 3 hours. **Pace:** Moderate Pace We'll walk a steady, comfortable pace that’s manageable for most hikers with a reasonable fitness level. Breaks are regular but not overly frequent, allowing for a balanced experience of exercise and enjoyment. **Parking** We’ll park at the **West View Parking Lot**, which has plenty of spaces available and is a convenient starting point for our hike. Please refer to the event map to locate the correct parking area. Do not park at the East View Parking Area, which is the first parking area you’ll pass. **Trail Map (AllTrails)** [Take a Hike!

Download the map in advance to follow along and stay on track during the hike. **Dogs on the Trail** Unfortunately, this hike isn’t ideal for dogs due to the steep steps and narrow pathways. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly ask that you leave your pets at home. Thank you for understanding! **Restrooms** There are a couple of porta-potties located at the trailhead for your convenience. Be sure to plan accordingly, as these are the only restroom facilities available on this hike. **Lunch After the Hike** Join us for a relaxed lunch at **[Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard](https://www.smvwinery.com)** after the hike. Feel free to bring your own food or simply enjoy a glass of wine with the group. Please note that outside alcohol is not permitted, but the vineyard offers a wonderful selection of wines available for purchase. This is a wonderful chance to relax, take in the scenic views, and connect with the group. **Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard** **18125 Comus Rd, Dickerson, MD 20842**

**IMPORTANT -** If you are not 100% committed please do ***not RSVP.*** No shows will be de-propritized for future events. We got rained out on Memorial day - so let's try this again on July 4th weekend! The Mount Rogers/Grayson Highlands loop hike is an iconic section of the Appalachian Trail, located in the southwestern hills of Virginia within the Jefferson National Forest. This region is best known for its vast mountain views and alpine peaks with **wild ponies** roaming about. This area is also home to Virginia's highest point, Mount Rogers, sitting at 5,729'. This is a premier east-coast backpacking destination, so don't miss this one. ## **Trail Facts** * **Difficulty Level:** Moderate * **Length:** 21.4 Miles * **Duration:** 3 Days * **Elevation Gain:** 3,898 Feet * **Bear Canisters:** Not Required * **Permits:** None * **Dogs**: Allowed * **Meetup/Carpool:** Vienna Metro South * **Trailhead Parking:** 36.6893579, -81.5320954 * **AllTrails Map**: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/mount-rogers-and-appalachian-trail-loop-958adb5?u=i&sh=rak641 **Trail Details:** We will meet at The Vienna Metro station on Friday morning at 8am and drive to the Mt Rogers Trailhead (off Rt 603). This parking lot is **NOT** the paid lot near Masie Gap, and so can fill up. I'd like to try to get there as early as possible. The drive is about 5 hours. I will drive and am happy to have others carpool with me - but please note, I will have my small black labrador in the back seat. **Day 1** After we park, we will hike about 7 miles to our campsite, diverting once to summit Mt Rogers. There arent any views here, but it's worth the .3 miles to say you've been to the highest point in VA! We will camp on the first night at the scenic tent sites near the Thomas Knob Shelter on the AT. There is water at this site and we may see wild ponies if we're lucky. **Day 2** The second day is about 10.7 miles, which includes spectacular views, unique rock formations and wide open grassy meadows. We will camp near the Old Orchard Shelter. There is a spring with water at this site as well. **Day 3** The third day will be a short 3.5 mile hike from camp back to the cars. Getting to the cars early will mean that we should get back to DC around 4-5pm. On the drive home, I plan to stop at Martin's in downtown Roanoke (413 1st St SW, Roanoke, VA 24011). **Essential Items**: * Tent * Sleeping pad​ * Sleeping bag suitable for expected temperatures​ * Backpack (appropriate for overnight backpacking)​ * Backpacking stove with fuel​ * Pot, cup, dish, and utensils​ * Dehydrated meals​ and snacks * Water bottles or hydration system (capacity for at least 2 liters)​ * Water filter or purification tablets​ * Headlamp with extra batteries​ * Rain gear * Dry bags or pack cover​ * Warm clothing layers (non-cotton) * Trowel for and toiletries for Leave-No-Trace compliance **Optional Items**: * Personal first aid kit​ * Map and compass or GPS device * Power bank or external battery * Trekking poles​ * Camp shoes * Electrolyte supplements​ * Alcohol​ * Books, games, or other enterainment * Gaiters​ * Sunscreen, lip balm, insect repellent​​ **CARPOOL:** Don't forget if you want a ride or are willing to offer a ride – be a friend to the environment, save money, and make friends. **LIABILITY NOTICE:** Please remember that this group operates under the common adventurer model.
