The Order is affiliated with the larger organization "The Firefly House," a pan-Pagan organization in the DC area.

I just took over as "Organizer" of this group from the previous organization that was running "incubator"-like training events. I am ready to help make this group what you members want it to be. Let's get a dialog going and see where it takes us. My proposal: I have 15+ years of experience in starting and running small businesses on a shoestring budget. Sometimes out of choice, more times out of instinctual necessity. My current specialties are in small business technology, free & open source so …

Hi, we play "safer soccer" on the weekends in Silver Spring, Maryland, north of the beltway by 5 minutes. You're welcome to join us.  We started using an awesome red foam ball because of several under-appreciated studies that imply a link between heading and tau overgrowth.  But most people play because our games are just more fun and invigorating than normal soccer games; people don't get hurt as much, so you don't have to worry about accidentally kicking someone in the face with the ball.  For …

Let's discuss how to improve dialogue among each other (with whom we may mainly agree and those with whom we may mainly disagree). Let's address socially conscious and conscientious matters, with music as the commonality and at the forefront (not background). Ever go to a venue and much of the audience members or patrons are trying to talk over the music and/or ignoring the performers? The goal for Music for Progress is to talk when planning, debriefing and spreading the word; enjoy and apprecia …

Many books exist for our group edification. We might benefit by reading them, en masse, outside o …

We are an organization dedicated to learning and practicing Heart Chan meditation.  We do not only sit quietly and relax, because Chan is far beyond this.  We learn what mediation is about—its purpose, practice, and effects—through tradition-based practice. Chan (it’s the same word as “Zen” from Japanese) could be regarded as a philosophy about one's life from birth to death and all its ups and downs in between.  Through this philosophy, we could understand ourselves better.  Not many people un …
