This group is for women who are currently going through anxiety and panic to meet others, as well as those who have recovered to share their success stories.

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 …

Everyone deserves to have a friend and this group is meant to help shy or anxiety-full young adults (in their 20s and 30s) from the northern Washington suburbs (Potomac, Rockville, Chevy Chase) to make friends thru meetups for drinks and conversations (perhaps more and different events down the road). Please don't hesitate to join if you are in your twenties and thirties and are struggling, for whatever reason, in finding a friend.

We set the wise intention to notice the habits of unskillful (and destructive) thoughts, feelings and behaviors that drive us to suffering. We set the intention to allow them to be as they are in this moment - however they are - without attachment, without resistance and without causing more harm. We set the intention to remember that everything is impermanent, that our suffering can and will end to the extent that we practice; and that loving-kindness is the nearest refuge when we miss our mark …

Through this process an inner transformation takes place by which one becomes moral, united, integrated and balanced. One can actually feel the all pervading divine power as a cool breeze, as described in all religions and spiritual traditions of the world. This is the actualization of such transformation, which is takin …
