Sistah Friends Connect

Alexandria, VA

As we get older it’s even more challenging to form new bonds. We may find ourselves holding on to our BFF and childhood friends although quite frankly we’ve outgrown each other. Or maybe life has taken us in different directions. Even in this digital era it's still difficult to meet real, down to earth, positive and drama free sistahs that we can call true friends. I started this group to help black women connect with other ambitious and like-minded black women who are looking to find their tribe and true sisterhood. So many black woman are missing deep meaningful connections and true friendships. Even while living in a huge metro area like the DMV, they find it challenging to meet new friends and create lasting friendships. Friendships that are real, nourishing and supportive. This meetup group is an opportunity to meet new Sistah Friends and connect at a deeper level. To have fun, camaraderie and connect with other high vibe, positive and driven black women. To have conversations about REAL issues. To share our stories and experiences in a way that fosters close bonds, meaningful connections and support. The idea is that over time you’ll meet a Sistah Friend (or two) that you’ve been looking for. The one you can call to talk with (because sometimes you prefer real conversation over text). The one who will go with you to get your nails done. The one who will go with you to Yoga class. The one who will roll with you on that trip you’ve been wanting to take. The one who will come through in a pinch when no one else can. \-\-\-\-\- How much does this sound like you? You're single, working professional, busy mom or BOSS entrepreneur, etc... Your days are filled with commitments, responsibilities and obligations…while the evenings are filled with more work, more responsibilities or mostly alone… When you do have free time…usually there’s no one around so you go alone, skip it altogether, veg out on TV/social media or just catch up on some Zzzzzzzz’s… Always the solo one at the event… More introvert than extrovert… Others including yourself keep saying you need to make some new friends… Tired of trying to meet friends online and weed through the drama, sane, real and genuine people… New to the DMV area... If any of those sound like you then, you're in the right place. Keep reading. \-\-\-\-\- In order for this to work you must be: **Open** \- to the possibility of meeting someone new and connecting… **Willing** \- to make time to cultivate a new friendship and let down your walls… **Ready** \- to meet\, have conversation and fun\.\.\. If this is you I’d love to have you in our Meetup group! However, we're more than just a Meetup group, we're a community; a safe and supportive space for black women to connect. Please note, we're an active Meetup group with members who are serious about meeting up and connecting. If you **DO NOT** intend to participate by attending events, please **DO NOT** request to join. If you **ARE NOT** looking for new friends and connections please **DO NOT** request to join. \-\-\-\-\- Event type definitions: **Connect events** \- Small group\, quiet and intimate setting\, great food and conversation\. **Education events** \- Workshops\, talk circles and retreats on topics like self\-care\, goal\-setting\, health & wellness\, mindset\, relationships\, etc\. **Fun events** \- Larger group outings and activities\, etc\. **Travel events** \- Midsize group for weekend getaways\, spa days\, visiting neighboring attractions\, etc\. \-\-\-\-\- Members who RSVP without cancellation or are No Show after two instances will be removed from the group. *\*\*\*\*\*Yearly member dues cover the cost to reserve private dining spaces and other miscellaneous organizer expenses. \*\*\*\*\**

Lessons for Beginning a New Relationship

Washington, DC

Have you ever seen how unhappy a person is who is stuck in a bad relationship? On the other hand, have you ever noticed how much joy a good relationship can bring to a person? Especially if you feel like staying away from relationships for a while, you need the Lessons for Beginning a New Relationship!

How do you start off a new relationship on the right foot?

How do you avoid common mistakes?

How do you make sure he or she is the right person for you? What are the red flags?

Many people choose partners based on chemistry, common interests, or on the potential partners' education or success. Unfortunately, how to choose partners is not that easy. Otherwise, we will all be happy by now, and the divorce rate in America will not be as high as 40 to 50 percent.

So, what are the deciding factors?

Come to our meetings and find out!

In this group, we will have free Zoom meetings held by relationship experts, and in these meetings, you will

- Find out why the more you need someone, the less you will be able to find someone

- Find out what you need to do BEFORE you start dating again

- Discover who you really want in a relationship

- Find out a completely new way to pick the right partner for you

- Learn a powerful tool to get others to love you

- Learn how to know whether someone is right for you or not

Our meetings are always free, and afterward you will also have the option to talk to a relationship expert about your personal situation.

See you at our meetings!

This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement information center in Washington, DC.

Meet People and Communicate Washington DC

Washington, DC

This is a group for people to push themselves to communicate more, to stand up to their own views and ideals and to express them.

In this group, we're going to get out of ourselves and communicate. Do you feel you have been too introverted, thinking too much about your own problems? It's time that you go out and meet the rest of the human race. As a result, chances are you will find out that life is more meaningful than you have thought.

This group is going to be useful for shy people, for quiet people, for social life improvement, and for career improvement, because in the workaday world, people who can communicate warmly, people who can talk about and promote something, and the people who can be assertive and lead are the people who rise up and become more valued by their colleagues and clients. Of course all of these mean you have to up your game on communication.

Specifically, we will have workshops to practice communication and public speaking, and we'll have workshops to discuss how to start and improve relationships. It's because communication and relationships tend go hand in hand. You can't improve one without improving the other. You will meet professional communication coaches and learn from them, and you will meet other attendees whom you can apply what you have learned and practice communication with.

This is a free group. Our pay is knowing that we have improved someone's life by teaching him or her better communication skills. We will have weekly free Zoom meetups.

This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center in Washington DC.

WHO IS THE GROUP ORGANIZER: My name is Tony. I have been coaching people on communication skills for many years now, and in the recent years I have especially been helping people practice public speaking skills. I think communication is the most important thing in the universe. I look forward to meeting you and be of assistance.
