We are starting a new Washington DC meetup that combines several spiritual disciplines such as Meditation, Yoga, TUMMO Reiki, Chi Gong(Qigong) and Tai Chi with all other fun outdoor activities like Hiking, Cycling, Canoeing, Wine Tasting, Camping, Golf and Tennis. Why? The answer is simple. Meditation is best combined with outdoor activities.

This meetup is for people in the DC metro area who are on a journey to a state of higher consciousness and a state of oneness. We are dedicated to awakening humankind into a state of Oneness. To awaken is to be free; to be free of the mind from its interference with our experience of life; to be free of the illusion that there is a self and that this self is separate from others.

I am creating this group as an outlet and a way for those in the Queer/Ally (LGBTQ) Community interested in yoga to connect, grow, and to share in in this fun and engaging practice. Yoga is much more than exercise. Yoga is community, it is growth, and there are facets of spirituality that take us deeper into our own being. One thing that I've noticed here in DC is the lack of outlet for deeper connection. This group is open to everyone from the experienced yogi to those just getting started. We …
