Explore the timeless inner shift that makes real happiness possible, even when life feels uncertain, painful, or completely undone.
What if the moment everything falls apart is not the end of your story, but the beginning of your becoming?
Join us for a powerful and restorative workshop exploring the timeless inner shift that makes real happiness possible, even when life feels uncertain, painful, or completely undone. Together, we will look beyond surface-level positivity and discover the deeper sources of joy, peace, and resilience that do not depend on outer circumstances.
Special guest Elizabeth Carson will share what happens after the collapse: when the marriage, the money, the brand, or the version of yourself you spent years building falls away, and the only place left to rebuild from is within.
Drawing from her own personal crashes across childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and beyond, Elisabeth blends story, neuroscience, and lived practice to reveal why we often repeat the same patterns in different forms, and how we can finally begin to change them.
You will be guided through a practical four-phase roadmap for rebuilding from the inside out: Regulate. Reflect. Reprogram. Embody.
You will leave not with a pep talk, but with a real protocol for returning to yourself, and the powerful reminder that you were never broken. You were only becoming.
<a href="https://www.elisabethunlimited.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Elisabeth Carson</a>
teaches from a deep understanding of what it takes to rebuild a life from the inside out. After overcoming addiction, profound personal challenges, major successes, and significant setbacks, she turned her journey into a powerful path of healing, reinvention, and service.
Today, Elisabeth is an international speaker, trauma-informed transformational coach, spiritual teacher, podcaster, bestselling author, and entrepreneur with more than a decade of experience helping others heal, evolve, and create lasting change. Her work integrates neuroscience, somatic healing, subconscious reprogramming, brain health, spiritual awakening, and a deeply rooted connection to God.
Her diverse career has included work as a Hollywood model and actress, pastry chef, record-breaking real estate agent, president of a mental health facility, COO of a global brand, and three-time bestselling author.
Through Elisabeth Unlimited and her nonprofit, The Unlimited Life, she supports people in breaking old cycles, reclaiming their power, and stepping fully into the next chapter of their lives.
Saturday, July 18th, 1:00pm - 2:30pm. Brahma Kumaris Meditation Museum - Maryland ,&nbsp;9525 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD.

Dance Exchange

Event: Free Adult Self-Defense Intro Class 
When:&nbsp;Sunday, 1:30–3:00 p.m. 
Where: Dance Exchange, Studio 3, Takoma Park 
Who: Adults (18+)
Residents in and around Takoma Park are invited to attend a free introductory self-defense class focused on realistic, adult training rather than sport or competition.
The class introduces participants to how Maryland Systema approaches self-defense using structure, breathing, relaxation, and movement. Instead of memorizing set patterns, attendees learn through guided movement and controlled contact to better understand balance, awareness, and decision-making under pressure.
This class is designed for adults with no prior martial arts or self-defense experience. Training is instructor-led, introduced gradually, and conducted in a structured environment. There is no sparring, no competition, and no expectation to push beyond individual comfort levels.
The introductory class is offered so local residents can experience the training firsthand and decide whether it is a good fit. There is no obligation to continue after attending.
Comfortable clothing suitable for movement is recommended. Class size is limited.
Before attending a class, please text us at 301.326.9146 to confirm your attendance, as class cancellations occasionally occur.

Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter,&nbsp;Original Book by P.G. Wodehouse &amp; Guy Bolton&nbsp;and Howard Lindsay &amp; Russel Crouse


New Book by Timothy Crouse &amp; John Weidman
Anything Goes (2022 Revision) is a vibrant, dance-heavy version of Cole Porter's classic musical about romance and mistaken identities aboard the S.S. American, following stowaway Billy Crocker's quest to win heiress Hope Harcourt from her stuffy fiancé, with help from singer Reno Sweeney and gangster "Moonface" Martin, all set to iconic songs like "You're the Top" and the title track, with the 2022 revision updating the book for modern audiences and boosting its dance numbers. 
This version of Anything Goes was adapted from the 1987 Broadway revival, originally produced by Lincoln Center Theater.
ANYTHING GOES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC.<a href="https://www.concordtheatricals.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.concordtheatricals.com</a>
The 2022/2021 revival of Anything Goes is generally considered appropriate for ages 10+ and often rated PG, offering a fun, tap-heavy, and witty romantic comedy. While it contains mild adult humor, innuendo, and references to alcohol/smoking typical of the 1930s setting, it lacks heavy violence or explicit scenes
