We meet at a different local establishment each month (check the space below for specifics each month) to talk about any of a wide range of topics of interest to those who are gathered.

Celtic Roots Class
Celtic understandings are similar and different from western approaches. An examination reveals that they offer diversity and inclusion, connection to the earth, non-hierarchal organization, the sacredness of all life and a joyful approach to living.

Weekly Services Held Via ZOOM Due to COVID-19 Pandemic
Once each month, we invite anyone to join us for Casual Conversation about Serious Subjects. In the past, we have met at a restaurant in the Mt. Vernon area of Baltimore to discuss burning questions of the day. Each question is proposed by that month's facilitator (we never disclose the topic in advance). We are thankful to now be meeting IN PERSON again!
Join us for a rousing conversation.
Our rules:
1. this is a safe environment to share, therefore all ideas are appreciated, even if not agreed-upon.
2. be respectful of others' opinions.
3. have fun!
Typically, we meet the last Thursday of each month at 7 PM. Please keep checking our calendar for dates and locations.
