No goals. Just presence.

This July, Thursday evenings become a little break in Washington, DC (or wherever you are).

Twice online and twice in person in Dupont Circle, we will gather for journaling, guided meditation, soft conversation, and a simple moment to breathe. No homework. No pressure. No goals. Even participate in all four sessions online. Just show up with a journal and give yourself the gift of being fully in the moment.

This is for women who want to counter the tense DC vibes and embrace the feeling of being on vacation, without leaving the city.

  • a standing date with themselves
