Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Happiness comes from deep within, and not from people, situations, or circumstances. According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego: “When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends, and his frien …

  We are hard core music lovers who are inspired by R&B (new and old), neo soul, Hip-Hop, House, Jazz, Funk, Afro beats and any other genre of music derived from Soul.: Who am I?? I am a thirty something cool chick who happens to love music.  I’m always looking for the next concert.  I started this meet up because I always know what concerts are in town but I don’t always have a fun group of music lovers to enjoy with.  It doesn’t matter what night of the week, if it’s going to be good music…I’m …

This is the Tantra & Tantric Yoga Students Group, formerly T Anonymous group. That group no longer exists. My only reason for taking this on is to promote the growth in knowledge of these ancient Indian practices. I am not looking to sell you anything, make you come to any high priced workshops or browbeat you for NOT attending. I seek multiple sources of information for the betterment of the group. Many books exist for our group edification. We might benefit by reading them, en masse, outside o …

The purpose of this meetup is to share the wonders of Natural Horsemanship. This type of training has received a lot of publicity, thanks to John Lyons and The Parelli's. It is a very simple concept, however it can be very new and strange for some. A lot of it (in my opinion) is based on intuition. Which suits me, as I am also a Reiki Master. Check out my website http://www.2020horsemanship.com or my blog, http://www.thenaturalhorseman.blogspot.com for more information on natural horse …

One of the best ways to network is to do it through shared activities. By being in a relaxed atmosphere you will get to know others and establish deeper relationships doing something you like, vs. a quick networking meeting at a hotel or restaurant. Besides the networking opportunites for business and work, you will also improve your health and fitness. Hikes will tend to be 4-6 miles during the weekdays before or after work with options for longer hikes for those wishing to do so. It sure beats …

Hey everyone, My name is David, and I am 22 year old recent graduate from American University. I am taking a year off school in order to apply to law school for Fall 2012. I wanted to start this group in order to find others out there who like to read non-fiction books that make you think about the world in a different way, books like "Freakonomics," "Predictably Irrational" and "The Tipping Point." There are a bunch out there that I have already read that I would love to discuss, but I am also …

Hi North Bethesda runners! I want to re-vamp the way this meet-up is structured so that it will be more conducive to everyone getting out and hitting the trails with each other.  I am not sure what the best method for making the group more robust, and therefore I am very open to any ideas of how we could figure out ways to meet-up and schedule runs.   The way that we've done it in the past is I've suggested and scheduled a run (we usually had a weekday evening run [though I stopped scheduling th …
