Kadampa Meditation Center DC

Mother’s Day is a beautiful opportunity to reflect on the love and care that mothers give. Engage in a special meditation called “remembering the kindness of mothers,” in which we take time to recall the many ways our mother has nurtured and protected us from the very beginning of our life. This heartfelt reflection helps us strengthen our love and appreciation — qualities that bring deep peace and happiness to our own mind.
Buddha also taught that we have lived countless lives, and in each of those lives we have had a mother who showed us great kindness. By expanding our gratitude outward, we begin to view everyone with the same warmth and affection we feel for our own mother. This opens the door to a universal love that is powerful, healing, and profoundly meaningful.

The alleyways of DC served a distinct purpose as a city planning feature, but they also provided a hidden safe space where escaped enslaved people and the economically disadvantaged could find inexpensive housing and live their lives away from prying eyes. While city officials condemned life in the alleyways as dangerous, dirty, and diseased, they were in fact a place where communities sustained each other and provided security. This walking tour takes you through the Blagden Alley/Naylor Court Historic District, and reveals their secrets. Tour starts at 909 M Street NW DC and ends in Blagden Alley. Guests will have a half-way stop at La Colombe Coffee for a bathroom break and optional refreshments.

Are your students decoding words, but not fully understanding them? What helps them turn strings of words into meaning before they even reach the end of a sentence?
Research points to a critical piece: syntax, how words work together to build meaning in real time. While cognitive science has mapped this process in detail, these insights have yet to fully shape classroom practice.
In this session, psycholinguist and language research scientist Dr. Julie Van Dyke connects research to instruction. Explore why sentence structure is essential to comprehension, and how strengthening syntactic awareness can elevate reading outcomes. Whether you teach K–12 or prepare educators, you’ll leave with a strong understanding of ways to weave together the strands of the Reading Rope and deepen understanding for all students.
This program is presented in partnership with The Reading League-DC.

9:30 Club 815 V St NW Washington, DC 20001

Welcome to Emo Night Brooklyn, a late-night, DJ-driven dance party blasting the best emo and pop punk jams that raised us, ruined us, and somehow still define us. We’re taking over 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on 16 May 2026 for a night of screaming every word, moshing with strangers, and feeling absolutely everything.
This is not a quiet night out. Expect wall-to-wall emo and pop punk anthems, deep cuts, and songs you still know by heart even if you pretend you’ve “moved on.” From the tracks that got you through your worst years to the ones that still hit a little too hard, Emo Night Brooklyn is all about losing your voice, finding your people, and reliving the music that made us who we are. And yeah sometimes special guests and your favorite artists even jump in to join the chaos.
Come ready to scream, mosh, dance, cry in the corner (no judgment), and throw yourself into the pit with all your favorite people. Tell the DJs what you want to hear and we promise we listen better than your ex. It’s loud, it’s emotional, and it’s the kind of night that reminds you it was never just a phase.
So get ready, Washington D.C.. Lace up your boots, warm up your vocal cords, and meet us in the pit at 9:30 Club on 16 May 2026. Emo Night Brooklyn is calling — and yes, we need every soul.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/145195/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Arlington Language School Marks 40th Anniversary

ICA Language Services

ICA Language Services (ICA), a family-owned, woman-led small business based in Arlington, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking decades of supporting the U.S. military and diplomatic community through language training and testing. Founded in April 1986 as Inlingua Foreign Language Center, a 6-classroom language school, ICA expanded under the leadership of Deidre Doyle, an entrepreneur with a background in organizational management who joined the company the same year. As a military spouse, she had developed a deep understanding of military organizations and culture, helping shape ICA into a trusted provider of language training and testing for military professionals. Doyle became a partner in 1993 and sole owner in 2009, when she changed the name to ICA Language Services. Today, ICA operates a 60+ classroom schoolhouse in Rosslyn and has delivered nearly five million hours of language instruction and more than 30,000 language assessments across 120+ languages. ICA also provides training on military bases throughout the US and abroad. The company is now led by President and CEO Lexie Casey, Doyle’s daughter, who joined ICA in 2009 after a decade in government contracting. Casey became a partner in 2014 and assumed day-to-day leadership in 2015, when Doyle transitioned to Chair of the Board. ICA has employed more than 1,300 individuals from 131 countries, often providing a first job in the United States for language professionals. Certified by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, ICA provides proficiency- and performance-based language training and testing services supporting diplomacy, security, and global engagement.
