Are you a successful woman quietly suffering because of your drinking? Is it starting to adversely affect how you feel day-to-day, your relationships or work? Me, My Body and Alcohol is an ongoing online therapeutic group of 8 women looking to really invest in themselves and better understand their drinking and options available for them to feel better.

More importantly, we foster a genuine connection so you can share your joys and challenges and gain support. Co-moderated by two psychotherapists, Jyotika Vazirani, MSN and Sarah Moore, LPC, who see clients individually and in groups.

Meets Tuesdays 2:30-3:45 p.m. $85 per week. Please email [email protected] for more information and to arrange an interview. Please note: Due to demand, we expect to add additional weekday options shortly.

Are you ready to jump into homeownership, or start considering it, and don’t know where to start? Mortgage rates are at historic lows, and we can help start your journey. You no longer need a 20% down payment so homeownership may be within your grasp. This introduction to homebuying and the mortgage process with our VP of Lending Katherine Magruder and Loan Officer Chantal George will help you feel prepared for buying your first home.

Your local knitters will be vending at the D.C Tenleytown location for Art All Night brought to you by D.C Mayor Muriel Bowser. This year we will have Ejima Yarn shorts, crop tops, t-shirts and hoodies for sale. We will also have handcrafted items from the Sweetheart’s Collection on sale!

Ejima Yarn will be collecting gently used dresses, heels, dress shoes, feminine products and tuxedos. Donated items will be going to the residents of The Covenant House. Please join us in supporting those in need and celebrating the beauty of art!

Come see electric vehicles, talk to owners and learn about the benefits.

How do you age gracefully while helping others? You dance! Helping Hearts Through the Arts (HHA), a local group of professionally-trained dancers ranging in age from 59 to 75 years old, brings the joy, beauty and love of dance to the community at its Annual Autumn Remembrance Day Arts Festival at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday, Oct. 3, 2021 at 12:30 p.m. at the steps to the reflecting pool. Bring your lawn chair and a picnic and join us!

Hear the lively rhythms of a steel drum band, enjoy a solo performance by an international award-winning dancer, listen to an exquisite classical guitar soloist and poet, and see an uplifting and beautiful Helping Hearts Dance piece that will warm your heart.

According to HHA Founder Sue Skaddan, “You don’t want to miss this extraordinary group of senior dancers. HHA shows that one is not limited by age — you can pursue your passion and share your talents and gifts, no matter how old you are. Our group is pleased to be changing perceptions about aging and demonstrating the value of lifelong movement.”
