Inspired by Tony of ZenHiking. 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.

There are a whole bunch of meetups in the Baltimore and DC areas. However, there doesn't seem to be anything out there for fun-loving folks in the Ellicott City & Columbia, MD area.  It would be fun to meet some new friends and get to know the area through a new meetup as there seems to be plenty of things to do around here without having to go to the major cities. The goal of this group is to get some fun people together to go out on the weekends (in Ellicott City or Columbia or possibly Baltim …

History: It all started when my friend Kate "had an idea." She reserved tables at a restaurant in Leesburg and invited other single friends for a get-together. Brenda and Chip were among those initially invited and in attendance, which lead to further discussion and the offer to assist with the logistics. That's when "Single Professionals of Loudoun" was "born" (11/13/2007). Currently it has >400 members & is private. Future: At the request of several Charter Members, I decided to start this Mee …
