Important Community Update: Join Our NEW Meetup Group — “Simplicity Living Circle of Northern VA”

Simplicity Living Circle of Northern VA meets the first Saturday of every month at Lacey Woods Park from 4 - 5:30PM, rain or shine.

Community is a delicate ecosystem. It grows slowly, through shared stories, familiar faces, and the quiet magic of showing up.

Recently, our original Meetup group experienced an unexpected administrative disruption during an account and payment transition. Unfortunately, control of the group was assumed by an individual outside our community, and administrator access has not been returned.

To protect the continuity of our gatherings — and more importantly, our connections — we have created a new official Meetup home:

What Stays the Same

While the digital address has changed, the heart of our circle has not.

📍 Location: Lacey Woods Park, Arlington, Virginia
📅 When: First Saturday of each month
⏰ Time: 4:00 – 5:30 PM
🌦 Rain or Shine: Outdoor gathering

Our rhythm, our conversations, our shared intention toward simpler living — all continue as before.

Why This Matters

Online platforms are tools. Helpful ones, usually.
But the true Simplicity Circle has always lived in something far less fragile:

• In the circle of community
• In the warmth of conversation
• In the laughter, reflection, and presence we bring

Creating this new Meetup group ensures:

✔ Clear communication
✔ Community safety
✔ Continuity of events
✔ Protection of the space we’ve built together
