Join this group if you love or are interested in discussing our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and are sick of politics as usual. This group will provide the opportunity for discussing current events and political issues from a classical liberal / paleoconservative / constitutionalist / libertarian point of view, and to support local and national political candidates who hold those views. This meetup will also serve as a venue for Ron Paul supporters from all political backgrounds to organize …

The Potomac Tea and Knife Society is a local gaming group which focuses mostly on organizing Diplomacy games.

We are located all throughout Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Any and all interested players are welcome and invited! Whether you are an old hand looking to get into a game, or just interested in learning how to play, c …

This group is for those seeking to achieve an inspired creative life applying Taoist principles, either as an artist, a martial artist, a healer, an acupuncturist, a herbalist, a green environmentalist, or those interested in applying those principles in their lives. Our monthly activities take our members to where Tao princip …

Theravada Buddhism is the oldest of the Buddhist religions. We are a Theravada Buddhist group--sort of, see below--that offers a day of silent sitting and walking meditation, usually on the fourth Sunday of each month, at the home of one of our founders, Walter. The founding members are experienced meditators, each with over 25 years of meditation experience. In the US, the best known Buddhist religions are Theravada, Zen, and Tibetan. The differences between them, particularly between Theravada …

This is a group for patriots who love the U.S., are concerned for its future and want to become active citizens for freedom by returning to the founding principles (and common sense!). I started this group because being a conservative in a deep-blue state, I often feel like I'm alone - but I know you're out there somewhere! I'm looking forward to meeting some people who are just as concerned about the future of Maryland and the country.

This is a group designed to get knitters and crocheters together at least once during the month and share our projects and skill set. Beginner and Advanced needle workers are welcome. I am pretty good at crocheting and welcome anyone who wants to help with the knitting aspect of the group.

Thank you for checking out the Girlfriends in Glen Burnie meetup group. This group is for any woman interested in making new friends locally in the Glen Burnie area. I would really like to find a few new friends that share similar interests who live close to where I live.

Other activies would include movies, spa days, afte …

Our dialogue is an attempt to explore together the nature of the self and profound questions of existence as they relate to our daily lives. Inquiring together as a group creates a mirror in which we can see our conditioning reflected as we expose ourselves to one another and to ourselves. At times it may resemble cognitive therapy or meditating out loud, but we use no techniques or practices, and the aim is not problem solving or self improvement but self discovery. Ultimately many of the quest …

Hi all, As a divorced baby boomer thinking about retirement I'm interested in finding an alternative to living alone or in a high-rise retirement building. An alternative that allows several women to live together and have separate 1-2 bedroomn apartments while also sharing some common space like kitchen, dining, deck, garden, craft/art studio space, etc. for enjoying each others company. The research I've done shows that co-housing communities tend to be expensive and they often have long w …

We are people who like to know more today than we did the day before.  We like to challenge our assumptions, question our beliefs and come away with that cherished little pearl of insight that keeps alive our sense of awe at life.  And we like to do all of this while laughing together over a good cup of coffee or tea, and sometimes the occasional beer.  We are not formal, and come from all walks of life.  And we think that everyone has something to learn and something to teach.  So swing by the …

The Bowie Meditation group meets twice a month at the Goodloe Memorial Unitarian Universalist Church in Pointer Ridge on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday evenings of each month, 7:15 – 8:30pm. The group welcomes all. No prior experience in meditation is needed. We just bring your hearts and hopes, and sit with them together, allowing the "mud" in our lives to settle and our minds to clear. In meditation, we focus on quieting the mind, encouraging the heart, and in finding the simple, natural connections …

A group of friendly knitters and crocheters who meet on H ST in NE DC.  We are happy to give advice and pointers, but it's best if you know the basics and bring your own project.  Attendance is small, so please check the website to make sure the meetup is still scheduled.  If fewer than three people have RSVP'd 24-hours before the meetup, it will be cancelled. I don't want anyone left all alone.

So, you are a Conservative in Montgomery County. Let me guess...you carpool with libs, work with libs, shop with libs, argue with libs. Do you always seem to be the token Conservative when you go out? Wouldn't it be great to have a group of people in their "right" mind to network and socialize with? We have all become activists this year, haven't we? But all those meetings and rallies, they're all business. Not a lot of time for conversation or telling l!beral jokes. This group is for getting to …

Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the will. An example of this would be to visualize the desired effect, empower it with energy and intensity ... and sent it out into the universe. The universe will work for us for the desired effect as we work for the desired effect as well. A Magick Circle is the creation of sacred space in which we, the magickal practitioners, will perform our magickal workings. For us the Magick Circle also refers to our meetup group …

Our dialogue is an attempt to explore together the nature of the self and the profound questions of existence Krishnamurti raised as they relate to our daily lives. Krishnamurti’s teachings are often referenced as a point of departure, but we are not attempting to promote any teacher or belief system. Inquiring together as a group creates a mirror in which we can see our conditioning reflected as we expose ourselves to one another and to ourselves. At times it may resemble cognitive therapy or m …

The Ivy League Book Club was founded July 2010 by Simbi Animashaun through a desire to connect with Sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. on an intellectual level. However, we decided to extend the invitation to all professional women residing in the Maryland/Washington D.C./Virginia area. Our mission is to read good books of any genre and support African American literature. Starting 2011, book club meetings will be held every 3rd Sunday of: January, March, May, July, September, and Novemb …
