Paint or draw outside with friends! Bring an easel or your sketch book. Share the enjoyment! Be out in all seasons. Meet people who love art and love to paint/draw outdoors. And go home with a work of art to hang on your wall or enter in a show. Most of our Meetups take place in or near Washington D.C. Sometimes we stray further afield. En Plein Air means "in the open air" (French), and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors (compliments wikipedia).

Come meet new people or old friends. You might meet someone! Or you might meet a new friend or  simply have some fun.... I cannot guarantee a great time. If I could I would be God. For everything else there is meds ;) Look if you don't try you will never know. We cannot have highs without lows. That said I have met some cool people and I always have pleasant conversation. Our group is mainly 30s and 40s and some 50s, but all are welcome and have come before. We have happy hours, dinners, we can …

Welcome!  Through Christian discussions and socials, our goal is to help each other --DISCOVER God's awesome plan for our lives.

Belief in the reality of Jesus and his teachings dramatically impacts our l …

I'm starting this group because I would like to meet up with a group of good peeps on a regular basis to discuss the issues of the day like health care reform, recycling (just kidding), the bailouts, guns and gun policy, hunting, VA politics, and the answers to questions like, "Why are we here?" over massive quantities of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Guinness:) Actually, just kidding. I don't personally want to get hammered, but a beer or two over some good political and philosophical discussion w …

The Graphic Novel Bookgroup reads in as wide a range as there are literary genres. The one commonality is that they all involve stories told with the aid of pictures - sequential storytelling. Obviously, this definition does not limit the content, and, if you were to browse several graphic novels, you’d find striking variety: memoir, journalism, literary fiction, humor, experimental, abstract, underground comix, sketchbook/journaling, superhero, mainstream, manga, manwha, the list goes on. Like …

Are you breathing right? Have you ever counted how many times you breathe in a minute? Breathing is the first act of life and it’s the last act of life. In between, the whole life we are breathing in and out, but not attending to the breath Ninety percent of the impurities in the body go out through the breath because we are breathing twenty-four hours a day. The breath is our best friend -- it's always with us. And yet, we hardly know much about it. What's more ... it holds some timeless sec …

This meetup is for people in the DC metro area who are on a journey to a state of higher consciousness and a state of oneness. We are dedicated to awakening humankind into a state of Oneness. To awaken is to be free; to be free of the mind from its interference with our experience of life; to be free of the illusion that there is a self and that this self is separate from others. To awaken is to know what we truly are:" the unborn, the undying, the eternal, the ever present, the ever present pre …

This meetup is for fans of stand-up, improv, sketch, or comedy in general.

Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of GOD and, according to I John 2:2, "...he is the propitiation for our sins..."? Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal saviour? Do you also believe that GOD made all nations from just one man (Acts 17:26) and that race should not play a prohibiting factor in friendships and/or relationships? Are you open to meeting and dating a member of another race/ethnicity and believe that blended couples and families can be a blessing from GOD? …

Intro: When I first moved to DC, I went to several movies by myself. I discovered that I wasn't the only one. Several DC Professionals attending movies solo!

Join "DC Ladies Movie Nights" and do not worry about going to the movies solo anymore! Requirement: Just an interest in movies and an interest in having fun.

Defining the word "meditation" doesn't mean anything in and of itself. What's important about meditation is the act of choosing to take time to focus with intention. Meditation is simply about being present in the current moment with our full awareness. Our group will use energy principles to practice meditation for relieving stress in your mind, connecting deeper with yourself or for any other purpose you may choose. Having the power to change your every moment and create what you want in your …

I am passionate about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and the incredible benefits that can come from the simple act of tapping on specific points on the body while holding an intention for healing. It sometimes seems too good to be true yet, as a practitioner, I've seen too many successful results to doubt its power. I want to continue to spread and share this amazing technique with the Washington DC community. To that end, we will have weekly or bi-weekly meetups to tap together on a number …

Are you sick of partisanship? Have you felt powerless to do anything about it? Let’s change that! I believe, collectively, we can make a difference. We can come together as Americans to solve or at least constructively engage in the enormous difficulties we face globally and as a nation. I have a simple idea. It’s not new, but it may not have been used precisely in this way before. Practically all religious denominations talk about it in one way or another; it is the power of the intentional pra …
