Weight Loss Support

If you’ve ever left a meetup thinking *‘Nice people, but nothing really happened’* — this space was created for you. The Growth Circle is an **exclusive, in-person gathering** for professionals who are done with loud bars, random networking, and unstructured meetups. We meet **every 6 weeks** in a **dedicated private room in a bar** — intentionally separated from the public area. This means: * no background noise * no interruptions * no competing conversations Just a room designed for **real focus and meaningful exchange**. ### **What this is (and what it isn’t)** This is: * a space to reflect, reset, and refocus * a room where action matters more than titles * a community built around **doing**, not talking This is not: * a casual after-work hangout * a place to collect contacts * a “free inspiration” event ### **Why there’s a €9.99 fee** Most people don’t mind paying — they mind paying for the **wrong experience**. This fee exists to prevent: * uncommitted drop-ins * people who just want to network without contributing * wasted time and low-energy rooms The result: * everyone arrives prepared * conversations stay intentional * the experience stays worth coming back to ### **Who this circle is for** ✔ Growth-minded professionals & founders ✔ People who respect their own time ✔ Those who want to leave feeling clearer than they arrived ### **Selection & Quality Control** Places are limited and **personally selected**. Not everyone will be accepted — and that’s intentional. The goal is a room where **every person adds value**.

We will start the session with some light stretching exercises to warm us up, and help to prepare us for the run. The pace of the run will be steady, depending on who is running with us on the day. Days when we have a large group we may break into multiple groups, each operating independently at their own pace. Saturdays are good for intermediate runners, and is usually a 10km run, again at a steady pace. If you're looking to get into running, come along on Tuesday or Thursday mornings and I will coach you, at your pace, to get you up to running (jogging) to 5km without stops. The only thing I will ask, if you're a beginner, is that you're able to walk for approx 30 minutes at a relaxed pace. PLEASE NOTE: That, if you RSVP a particular event, then please ensure that you attend, as there may be other members relying on you for company on the run. IMPORTANT NOTE: Any run or activity that you participate in with the group will be at your own risk. Usually we have a post run (after our cool down) coffee in the Dash container at the Hole in the Wall pub.

# ☕ Beneficial Brews: February Coffee/Lunch Hour at Moda Café & Restaurant (Chantilly) **When:** Saturday, February 28 **Time:** 2pm **Where:** **[Moda Café & Restaurant](https://modacafe.com)** 14513 Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy #J, Chantilly, VA 20151 **Group Size Limit:** **Max 8 women** (intimate setting—RSVP early!) Join us for our February **Beneficial Brews Coffee/Lunch Hour**, a relaxed and nourishing meetup designed for meaningful conversation, connection, and community with like-minded women. ✨ **About [Moda Café & Restaurant](https://modacafe.com):** Moda Café & Restaurant is a hidden gem in Chantilly known for its warm atmosphere, beautifully plated meals, and cozy café-style charm. With a menu that blends comforting favorites and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired options, Moda is the perfect spot to slow down, enjoy a delicious meal, and share a refreshing mid-day break together. **What to expect:** This meetup is intentionally casual, welcoming, and uplifting—no pressure, no awkward networking, and no “having it all together” required. Just a supportive table of women who understand the demands of busy lives and value wellness, balance, and real connection. We’ll gather for coffee and/or lunch while enjoying conversation around rest, nourishment, and what it means to care for ourselves in the middle of everything we carry. You can expect: * Friendly introductions and relaxed conversation * A cozy café atmosphere perfect for unwinding * Optional reflection prompts to spark meaningful discussion * A supportive space to laugh, share, and feel seen Whether you’re a longtime member or brand new to the group, you are welcome here. 💛 **RSVP Accuracy Matters (Please Read):** Because this event is limited to **only 8 attendees**, RSVP accuracy is extremely important. If you RSVP “Yes,” please plan to attend. If something comes up (we understand life happens!), simply update your RSVP to “No” as soon as possible. When members RSVP and do not show, it is unfair to other women who wanted to attend and could have taken that spot. It also shows a lack of respect for the group and the venue, as often reservations have to be made, such as in this case. Please remember, two "No Shows" will result in removal from our group, and I don't want to see that happen to anyone. Our collective is built on kindness, consideration, and community—so please help us keep that culture strong. Members that attend events have a wonderful time, and I want each of you to have a fair opportunity to experience that. As always, come as you are—and leave feeling a little more grounded, refreshed, and connected. 💛

Join our weekly walking meetup to have fun, maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet new people, and enjoy the weather! We meet Saturdays at 10am, halfway between the Reston *Container Store* and *Not Your Average Joes* (by the metal benches), leaving no later than 10:05. Every week, rain or shine, we start by walking along the Green Trail to reach Lake Anne Community Center. Once there, we pause for water/bio (often staying a few minutes extra from April-November, due to the local Farmer's Market), and then we circle Lake Anne and head back to our starting point. It's roughly 3-4 miles and takes about an hour and a half. Afterwards, some members will often head to *Not Your Average Joes* or another local restaurant for a quick drink/meal before tackling the day. This event is open to all ages and fitness levels. Dogs are welcome, and we recommend dressing for the weather (umbrella, water, snow shoes, hat, etc.) since we'll walk rain or shine. Also, feel free to bring a friend! By signing up, you accept and assume all risks and responsibilities with this activity, and nobody will be held liable.

Join our partners Watermark Woods Native Plants, Loudoun County Public Library (LCPL), and Birch Tree Bookstore for the Read! Plant! Grow! Book Club, which focuses on native plants, sponsored by Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and LCPL. At this meeting we’ll discuss the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. Both memoir and journalistic investigation, this book explores how the Kingsolver family took on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally -produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume. Concerned about the environmental, social, and physical costs of American food culture, they hoped to recover what Kingsolver considers our nation’’s lost appreciation for farms and the natural processes of food production. You can either buy the book from Birch Tree Bookstore or contact Allison Forbes at [Allison.forbes@loudoun.gov](mailto:Allison.forbes@loudoun.gov) to borrow a copy of the book at the library. There are two ways to participate: attend the event online via the library website or [sign up to participate in person at Birch Tree Bookstore](https://www.birchtreebookstore.com/event-details/read-plant-grow-2026-02-24-18-30). ***Questions:*** *Contact [info@loudounwildlife.org](mailto:info@loudounwildlife.org)*.
