THIS GROUP HAS DECENTRALIZED. We all have equal rights and responsibilities and resources. Any member can schedule a group meeting. As adults we are all responsible for our own safety, plans, and materializing our desires such as reaching out to others and making connections. If this is impossible for a group member to do, then I highly encourage they seek help from a professional who can help them navigate and make their own tools. This group in no form or way replaces or comes close to replaci …

Are you a solitary creature who lives in constant danger of being crushed by a stack of books? When company comes, do you have to move books off the sofa so they can sit down?

We'll meet the third Sunday of every month to discuss literary fiction. Why "literary" fiction? It's not because we're a snooty bu …

BRAINRELIEF, LLC holds workshops or suppo …

We are an all-volunteer, grassroots community group raising awareness and taking action to end human trafficking not only in the state of Virginia, but around the world. We learned that slavery was abolished in our country in 1865 with the 13th Amendment to our constitution, and around the globe by the turn of the 20th century.  Sadly, slavery is not only alive, but thriving in our world today including our own neighborhoods.  Human trafficking is the term used today to describe the modern day s …

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.

We gather to practice Healing Circle, a self-care experience where individual's self-healing is synergised by the group's active participation. It is not a conventional support group.

We do not help each other "to suffer better" rather to heal our lives to the extend that the suffering goes away …
