The monk, Tam, was working very hard building outdoors and he also took time to speak with us in a most gracious and welcoming manner. I would like to add that we were raised Christian and felt very welcomed at this Buddhist Temple. Thank you! May your Way be blessed.

It is a Non-Profit Charitable organization whose motto is "People Helping People". Nice place for folks to belong with a family environment, great food and beverage prices, knowing all the while the money you spend is going to help someone in need or to fight a disease. This FOE location is the second oldest in Virginia and offers responsible adults many entertainment options (including charitable gaming). If you are interested in being part of something like this, go to www.foe.com and read up on the FOE. You can even request that someone contact you on that site.

This is not a usual place I would frequent- mainly because it stays off the grid. Didn't even know…read moreit existed! Until my boyfriend's father had his wedding here. I was a bridesmaid. The Fraternal Order of Eagles is a club that takes its membership very seriously but welcomes all who are curious. It's situated next to what I can only guess is a Buddhist temple. You can see it off of 464 near the Perdue Agricultural Plant in South Norfolk. Everyone there is incredibly accommodating, friendly, welcoming, and a huge help. The place is surprisingly big sign a huge hall for parties, gatherings, and weddings. It's old, but has some serious character. There's a bar attached a lot like the Moose Lodge filled with old heads. I couldn't ask for nicer people to help us on my family's big day!

Tried a guided meditation here with a friend. It was an hour long and included several things such…read moreas an oracle card reading, sound cleanse and reiki healing. There was a pretty large amount of people for a small-ish space. I was surprised. I think it was totally sold out and had probably 30-45 people inside all laying down beside one another. We each had a small area with a meditation bed to lay down on (two little foam pillow things - very comfy), a blanket, were given a warm neck and eye wrap, and had a small basket with a crystal wand and a oracle card reading. We each also got a quick reiki healing moment during the meditation as she walked around. It was nice and very relaxing and my favorite part was the crystal sound cleanse which is how it started. The vibrations as these were played were to help cleanse our chakras I believe and it was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. There is a small gift shop with some crystals and items for sale just inside. Think bracelets and crystals and a few other items. In a great shopping center with tons of other stuff nearby. It was a nice experience and there are several classes listed each month on the website both in person or virtual. Online payment and registration was super easy.
