Welcome to Reiki For Your Soul. Let's celebrate the spirit of Reiki and venture through the beautiful and magical world of Energy Healing. The deeper I go, the more I see. We all need that extra boost of energy to go through our daily routines. As we accumulate more and more stress in our daily life, the more off centered we become. Consequently we continue to loose touch with our reality and our oneness with the divine is lost. We are always on a crunch to do things, running daily errands, runn …

This group is for people interested in deeper connections with the world, with each other, and with themselves.  It is a sharing and discussion group.  Right now, I plan to show a video and have an open discussion afterwards.  I'm sure other ideas will develop. Still waters run deep.  A shallow river babbles continuously, creating sounds that gently lull us to sleep.  A deep river has a surface that appears to be still, yet has currents far beneath - not easily seen, and yet powerful. Daring to …

This group is intended to discuss, and debate some of the medicinal reasons that MEDICINAL CANNABIS should be considered in the state of VIRGINIA. This group does not encorage illegal activities and there will be no illegal drugs or narcotics at the events, and meetings. This is just a group to bring fellow Cannabis activists together to discuss the potential uses that could benefit the medical community. My opinion on cannabis is that it can be helpful in the correct setting. Doctors prescribe …

This is a GIRLS ONLY group; NO BOYS ALLOWED. Sorry boys. ALL EVENTS ARE HELD IN STERLING, RESTON, HERNDON, ASHBURN, and LEESBURG AREAS with very few held outside those areas. I work from home so making friends and having some girl friends to hang out with used to be difficult until I discovered meetup. I'm a very active & happily married 40+ year old but like to always say that I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. While we do not have age requirements, this group is in the age range …

Every time I take off, I get an almost overwhelming sense of freedom. It's as if I could go anywhere, and not have to worry about traffic or whether or not a road has been built over a body of water. Then to see things from that perspective - sometimes awe-inspiring scenes of autumn, or a river as the light hits it just so, or the wakes of boats, almost like swans, or the mountains fading into the mist in the distance. Ask any pilot why they fly, but be ready to be there awhile, because we never …

Please note: This group is not accepting new membership. We wish you the best in finding another group. This group is for older vital "boomer" couples (about 50+), born between 1946 and 1966 who want to forge friendships with other couples or casually socialize because this stage of our lives is for us to explore with zest and fun. We accept ourselves with grace and laughter. Couples in their late 40's, 50's, or older have social needs that usually are different than our younger versions. In fac …

I run a girls only meetup in NOVA and usually have 1-2 guys each week looking to join (they swear it is cause they didn't realize it was for girls only!) so I figured the guys are feeling left out!!

Just a couple of things: You do not have to be single to join (but if you only want to hang out with couples, or talk about your kids, maybe this isn't the best …
