All are welcome …

We welcome thoughts and participation from all parents to help shape the content of our monthly or bi- …

We meet weekly on Mondays to explore the meaning of, and need for, liberty, equality, freedom, and justice for all in matters of religion, government, commerce, and society. The basic premise of our explorations is that the experiences and pleasures of the erotic are the proper foundation of human motivation and accomplishment of personal growth and vital maturity. Stated simply, “Sex is sacred, always has been, always will be, because it is the time of our most intimate personal communi …
Like that old, soulful U2 rock anthem, do you sometimes find yourself singing "I still haven't found what I'm looking for?" Or maybe you find yourself “losing your religion" just like that classic R.E.M. song says. But in either case, you definitely feel emotionally distant from the Christian spirituality and Sunday worship you grew up with. Curious to find out why you’re having these feelings/thoughts? But more importantly, curious if there is a better way to think about and practice faith? …

Maybe you're one of those people who sits in a church pew on Sundays thinking to themselves, "I don't believe a word of this." Or perhaps you've checked out of the dogma arguments altogether, avoid church or temple and just to try living a good, decent life. Or, maybe you don't believe in god, but instead seek an ethical path consistent with your understanding of the universe. If any of those sound like you, we should meet! We're the Northern Virginia Ethical Society, a congregation composed of …

This group uses a specific book and set of exercises to help each member grow personally and move along their spiritual path - regardless of how you describe "spiritual". It is not related to a specific religion or set of beliefs, but works within your belief system.

This group will be all about becoming the most enlightened person we can be during this time of great spiritual opportunity f …
