Dungeons & Dragons for Christians WA

Snohomish, WA

A Dungeons and Dragons group for Christian adults! Prior experience with D&D not required. Located in the Woodinville / Maltby / Bothell area. Group Discord: https://discord.gg/C35JzuYUPS Tabletop roleplaying games are a great way to build bonds with other people as you embark on an adventure together and make impactful story and character decisions. I feel the experience could be even more rewarding if we were to forge those bonds with people we know share our values. I'd like to run a Dungeons and Dragons group for Christians that will let us form a Christian community around us where we all have something fun to do together, a way to express ourselves and get to know each other, and a way to learn about and discuss the Word. My hope is that we can find friends and have a creative way to study, understand, and interpret God's Word together. My desire is to create a storied D&D campaign that has allegorical elements taken from the Bible, that we can discuss before, during, and/or after each session. No requirement for I don't plan to restrict game content, but we will keep in mind the audience and the values we're trying to share with this game and I'd like to keep it relatively clean (a good rule of thumb is, if it's in Chronicles of Narnia or Lord of the Rings, it's fair game to use as a story element). I will have a Discord server for members and prospective members so we can discuss game content, Bible verses and stories relating to the game, discuss game edition details (should we play 3.5, 4, 5, updated 5, etc., do people need premade characters, etc.), schedule sessions, and to just have a place to asynchronously communicate and share! I would like to restrict this group to adult Christians, although beginners to Dungeons and Dragons are welcome (even if you've never played before, I would be glad to create a character for you and guide you). We would likely be meeting at a game store such as Zulu's Board Game Cafe in Bothell or Uncle's Games in Redmond, though I could go as far south as Bellevue (e.g. Mox Boarding House) or as far north as Everett (we'll discuss what place would work best for people in our Discord). About me as a group leader: I'm Dalton, a 28 year old software engineer living in Woodinville. I have experience with Dungeons and Dragons both as a DM (dungeon master) and player. I am not a preacher or priest or spiritual authority of any kind; I'm just someone that reads like any of us do, and wants to share the good Word with likeminded people in a novel way. And, I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Traditional Taichi in Everett,WA

Mukilteo, WA

As a part of the practice - East Asian Medicine(www.everetti-chingacupuncture.com), this meetup is mainly for helping our patients stay well through meditation and Taichi special movement, etc(American Specialty Health Fitness, Inc./ Exercise Center provider:www.ashcompanies.com/provider/exercisecenter/traditional-tai-chi). Also, I'd like to meet anyone interested in Tao Te Ching book study and meditation, and Taichi in Snohomish County, WA to share the great east ancient Philosophy and more ... All skills level are welcome.

****************************

The practice of tai chi among the hundreds of millions of people around the world is broadly divided into two kinds: one is the new routine as a sport of tai chi and the other is a traditional routine within the martial arts range. According to a publication in Taiwan entitled, “Essence of Dao”(Number five, Chapter 2, Introduction): even if Zhang San Feng is the respected founder of Taichiquan and revered at the level of deity, actually his real Tai Chi is not the form only. It is through the form, however, that there is internal cultivation of alchemy practice all the way to the highest level in the Shen world of spirituality known as Dan Ding Shen Ming. Therefore, the true meaning of the Zhang San Feng Taoist Tai Chi Chuan is the Taoist Inner Alchemy cultivation, which includes both high-level sports and high-level martial arts.

The Daoist Master, Zhang San Feng（1255—1424, Song -Ming dynasty）, is the founder of Tai Chi and at age 132 was admitted into Hemingshan monastery where he lived until age 169. During these thirty-seven years in Hemingshan, he founded a more complete theory of the inner alchemy and Taoist Tai Chi as well as a more mature Tai Chi posture. Therefore, it can be said that Zhang San Feng created Taichiquan(Taijiquan) in Wudang Mountain and promoted tai chi in Hemingshan (literally translated as Crane Cry Mountain). Hemingshan is well deserved to be called the "Taichiquan(Taijiquan) Holy Land". During more than one hundred years after the passing of Zhang San Feng, the founder of Taoist Inner Alchemy practice, due to its level of high difficulty of learning and mastery, etc., the tai chi alchemy cultivation was nearly lost. Only two pieces of evidence remain: a one-page writing called “Taichiquan Classics”, and Quanjia , which means “form”, that consists of plain line drawings or illustrations of Taichiquan postures.

With Zhang San Feng’s Tai Chi alchemy secrets revealed, the longevity secret of the Chi Master at the age of 169 has also been revealed. Having originated from Taoism, Tai Chi Chuan, created by Zhang San Feng, has been profoundly influenced by this philosophy. Taoism advocates the reflection of nature within martial arts. Zhang San Feng’s goal was to create a martial arts form for the elderly, weak, chronically ill, disabled, women, children, etc. As a result, its unique medical fitness effects improve the quality of life and promote happiness throughout one’s longevity. It has been urged that because this form lives within the spiritual development of the inner alchemy of health preservation, it is dedicated to the peoples of the world.

Chinese Taoist culture, after thousands of years of precipitation, and surviving as an essential culture, has already developed as a rescue method or art of solving chronic diseases and other etiologic conditions. The most prominent rescue method is the Zhang San Feng Taoist Tai Chi. Its comprehensive balance and harmony has a good effect on human physiology. Wang Xuan, a modern academician of the China Academy of Sciences, has noted that, “Tai Chi, which has the connotation of Taoist culture, is the number one brand of medical fitness". Further, Fa-rong Ren, the president of the China Taoist Association, has also written that “Health preservation through Taoism is the supreme life science in the world today!”

Cascade is an official Hunting Retriever Club (HRC club). We have been in existence since 2013. Our members continue to work hard to support retriever training days and events.

During the off-season from Upland & Waterfowl hunting, Cascade puts on a monthly training day (February-August) at Pat Murphy’s Training Grounds in Snohomish, where we work on land and water retrieves (dependent on weather conditions), providing dead birds to train with. We are a fun, friendly, inviting group of dog owners, looking to continue training our dogs to become the best retriever they can. We encourage new owners to this sport, come out and see what we are about, you and your dogs are always welcome!! Many members are willing and able to take some time to work one-on-one with you as you start out with your pup (or older dog who is just starting).

As a Chapter of HRC, Region 14, Cascade puts on a yearly Hunt Test the first weekend in April at our training grounds. We are always in search of volunteers, which is a great way for new handlers to observe and learn!

North End Hikes and Walks with Dogs

Edmonds, WA

This is a group for people who like to get out exploring with their dogs. Hikes and walks will mainly be scheduled for the Seattle area and north.

You do not need to own or bring a dog to join us, you just need to be willing and comfortable hiking with dogs.

I am not an experienced guide, but have done a number of hikes and am wanting to find others that are passionate about getting out as well.

http://www.meetup.com/north-end-hikes-and-walks-with-dogs/about/

Disclaimer: We are not professional guides and do not have certified training or insurance. Be aware, inherent hazards and risks are associated with walking, hiking and all other physical activity. We can not guarantee the condition of the trail, the length of the trail, or that the trail will be appropriate for a certain fitness level.You may join us on our hikes and/or walks at your own risk. Keep in mind that hiking and walking involves risks and weather changes quickly in the mountains. You are responsible for your own safety and health. The more prepared you are, the better the chance you will remain safe. Your preparedness not only affects your safety but the safety and enjoyment of the whole group.

I am not in charge of this hike/walk, I’m merely going on a hike/walk myself and inviting others to join me.

Please read the "Terms of Membership" agreement before joining:

http://www.meetup.com/north-end-hikes-and-walks-with-dogs/pages/Terms_of_Membership_Agreement/

I am open to suggestions about where to go and what to do.

Dogs make wonderful trail companions and it is a hobby you can do anywhere, at anytime of the year.
For dog owners it is important to realize that not all parks are open to our four-legged friends. it is sometimes hard for dog owners to believe but not everyone loves dogs. We are, in fact, in the minority when compared with our non-dog-owning neighbors. As such, rules can change rapidly to ban dogs from even more of our public parks. It doesn't take a referendum or a ballot count for "NO DOGS" signs to appear overnight.
So make sure your dog is a good citizen on the trail - don't bother other hikers and pick up after him - and you will be embarking on a passion that will last a lifetime.
Get fit - grab a leash and hit the trail!
