SUMMARY:Author James Lawler\, Soulcatcher: Recruitment Operations talk & signing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging evening with national security consultant James Lawler talk & book signing at GreenFare. Strong intelligence enables better diplomacy and negotiation and reduces the need for war.\n\n\n\n​James Lawler’s talk\, titled “Soulcatcher\,” delves into the complex motivations that drive ordinary people to commit espionage. Drawing from his extensive 25-year career as a senior CIA case officer\, during which he earned prestigious honors such as the Donovan Award\, the CIA Director’s Award\, the HUMINT Collector of the Year Award\, and the Trailblazer Award\, Mr. Lawler provides a vivid\, hard-hitting account of the realities of intelligence work. Through real-life examples\, he reveals the psychological and emotional triggers that lead individuals to betray their countries\, and discusses the crucial role that recruiting these intelligence sources plays in safeguarding the national security of the U.S. and its allies. \nCome at 5pm for dinner and stay for the talk at 6pm! He will have copies of his three spy novels available for purchase and signing! FREE TICKETS HERE! \nJames C. Lawler bio: \nMr. Lawler is a national security consultant and a speaker on Insider Threat. He served for 25 years as a CIA operations officer with five overseas assignments from 1982-1994. \nMr. Lawler was in CIA’s Senior Intelligence Service from 1998 until his retirement in 2005. He was a specialist in the recruitment of foreign spies and spent most of his CIA career battling the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. As Chief of the A.Q. Khan Nuclear Takedown Team\, which resulted in the disruption of the most dangerous nuclear weapons network in history\, Mr. Lawler received a CIA Trailblazer Award. DCI George Tenet sent Mr. Lawler this note: “Jim\, what you and your team have achieved will rank up there as one of the most spectacular intelligence accomplishments in the history of the CIA. It occurred because of your exemplary leadership. Not only are we in the process of taking down a network\, we’re also in the process of disarming a country as a result of your fine work.” DDCI John McLaughlin noted this was “the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a perfect intelligence operation.” \nMr. Lawler also received the Director’s Award from George Tenet\, the U.S. Intelligence Community’s HUMINT Collector of the Year Award\, and the Donovan Award from the CIA’s Deputy Director of Operations. \nMr. Lawler is a graduate of Rice University and the University of Texas Law School. He has published Living Lies\, an espionage story of the Iranian nuclear weapons program\, and In the Twinkling of an Eye\, about recruiting a spy inside a covert Russian-North Korean bioweapons program. In December 2022\, Spyscape named Living Lies as #38 on its list of “Fifty Best Spy Novels Ever Written.” His third spy novel\, The Traitor’s Tale\, about treachery and treason deep within the CIA\, was published in February 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCategory: Government\, National Security\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGood to know\n\n\n\n\n\nHighlights \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2 hours\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn person\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\nGreenFare Organic Cafe \n408 Elden Street \nHerndon\, VA 20170 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do you want to get there?\n\nDrivingPublic transportBiking \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWalking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganized by\n\n\n\n\n\nGreenFare Organic Cafe \n\n\nFollowers \n209 \n\n\n\nEvents \n284 \n\n\n\nHosting \n10 years \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated to this event\n\n\nUnited States Events\nVirginia Events\nThings to do in Herndon\, VA\nHerndon Seminars\nHerndon Government Seminars\n#spies\n#nationalsecurity\n#book_signing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree

SUMMARY:Understanding Your Thyroid! Live with Shivani Doctor
DESCRIPTION:Live at GreenFare! Join your community for dinner from 5-5:30pm – lecture begins at 6pm. \nAlthough the thyroid gland is about the size of a butterfly\, it has a huge impact on how we feel every single day. The thyroid helps regulate our energy\, mood\, weight\, sleep\, digestion\, and even how sharp our mind feels. Register for tickets here \nWhen the thyroid is out of balance\, people often describe feeling tired\, foggy\, anxious\, or just not like themselves. The tricky part is that thyroid issues don’t always show up clearly on standard blood tests\, and sometimes symptoms get dismissed or blamed on aging or stress. \nThat’s where an integrative approach can really make a difference. Instead of looking at only one hormone level\, we take a step back and look at the whole person—your nutrition\, stress\, gut health\, sleep\, and lifestyle. All of these factors can either support or strain the thyroid. \nIn our time together\, we’ll explore how the thyroid works\, common signs it may not be functioning at its best\, and simple\, practical steps—like food choices\, stress management\, and when needed\, medications or supplements—that can help bring it back into balance. \nMy hope is that you’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of your thyroid and feel empowered with tools to support your energy\, mood\, and overall well-being.” \nShivani Doctor\, PA-C\, BHMS\, MPASBoard-Certified Physician Associate | Expert in Gut\, Hormonal & Integrative Medicine \nShivani Doctor is a board-certified Physician Associate with over two decades of experience in integrating conventional and integrative medicine.

SUMMARY:Vigilance Is Not Enough: Live with author Mark M. Lowenthal
DESCRIPTION:Live at GreenFare! Join your community for dinner from 5-5:30pm – author lecture begins at 6pm. \nA broad and deep survey of American intelligence from before the Revolution to the present\n \nPlease get tickets here \nEvery nation has an intelligence apparatus—some means by which its top officials acquire needed information on sensitive issues. But each nation does it differently\, influenced by its history\, its geographical conditions\, and its political traditions. In this book\, Mark M. Lowenthal examines the development of U.S. intelligence to explain how and why the United States went from having no intelligence service to speak of to being the world’s predominant intelligence power almost overnight\, and he discusses the difficult choices involved in maintaining that dominance in a liberal democracy. \nLowenthal describes how the lack of a tradition of spycraft both hindered and helped American efforts to develop intelligence services during and after the Second World War. He points to the political pragmatism—leading to difficult choices—with which most intelligence directors operated; the constant tension between security and civil liberties in a constitutional democracy; the tension between the need for secrecy and the accountability required for democratic governance; and the way the growing importance of technology changed both the methods and the objectives of intelligence gathering. Far more than simply an episodic history\, this book offers an analysis of why American intelligence developed as it did—and what it has meant for the nation’s and the world’s politics. \n“This readably artful masterwork embodies Lowenthal’s unique qualification—the ideal combination of professional historian and experienced practitioner—for interpreting the complex story of intelligence and foreign policy.”—Richard K. Betts\, author of Enemies of Intelligence \n“This book is the authoritative account of why U.S. intelligence has the shape that it has\, with a revealing account of its successes and an honest account of its failures.”—Sir David Omand\, author of How Spies Think \n“Mark Lowenthal’s magisterial history of U.S. intelligence drives home what James Bond movies distort: intelligence is a service function\, and all the spying and eavesdropping are means to the end of helping political leaders frame wiser policies. And as a sometime insider\, he knows that whether intelligence matters depends very much on the proclivities of senior officials\, especially the president\, from George Washington\, who ‘outspied’ the British in winning the Revolutionary War\, to Donald Trump\, who mostly ignored intelligence.”—Gregory F. Treverton\, University of Southern California and former chair of the National Intelligence Council \nAbout the Author \nMark M. Lowenthal has held several senior U.S. government positions\, including deputy assistant secretary of state for intelligence\, assistant director at the CIA\, and staff director of the House Intelligence Committee. He lives in Reston\, VA.

SUMMARY:Dr. T. Colin Campbell Lecture (real time lecture by zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. T. Colin Campbell’s most widely viewed documentary on Netflix ‘Forks Over Knives’ was the inspiration for GreenFare and so we are thrilled to have him back for a lecture on his latest thoughts on nutrition and health. Please join us for this lecture on Saturday\, May 3rd at 2pm. Arrive early for lunch and a seat! It is expected to be sold out. \nT Colin Campbell bio: \nFor more than sixty years\, Dr. T. Colin Campbell has been at the forefront of nutrition research. His legacy\, the China Project\, is the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. Dr. Campbell is a professor Emeritus at Cornell University and is most well-known for co-authoring the bestselling book The China Study with his son\, Thomas Campbell\, MD. In addition to his long and outstanding career as an author\, scientific researcher\, and Cornell professor\, Dr. Campbell has been featured in several documentary films. He is the founder of the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and the online internationally-recognized Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate offered by the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies in partnership with eCornell. He currently serves as the Chairman of the Board. \nDr. Campbell’s expertise and scientific interests encompass relationships between diet and diseases\, particularly the causation of cancer. He has focused on nutritional status and long term health. Surprisingly\, Campbell started his life on a dairy farm\, but is now widely-known for researching links between animal-based protein diets and disease. \nCampbell has conducted original research both in laboratory experiments and in large-scale human studies; received over 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding (mostly with NIH)\, has served on several grant review panels of multiple funding agencies\, and has authored over 300 research papers. Campbell has served on many national and international expert committees with mandates to develop food and health policy positions and is the recipient of several awards\, both in research and in citizenship. \nHe was trained at Cornell University (M.S.\, Ph.D.) and MIT (Research Associate) in nutrition\, biochemistry and toxicology. T. Colin Campbell spent 10 years on the faculty of Virginia Tech’s Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition before returning to Cornell in 1975 where he presently holds his Endowed Chair as the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry in the Division of Nutritional Sciences. \nSince the publication of The China Study in 2005\, Dr. Campbell has given more than 600 lectures in the U.S. and abroad. More recently\, Campbell published Whole (May 2013)\, as well as The Low-Carb Fraud (Feb 2014). He was featured in the very successful 2011 documentary\, “Forks Over Knives” and 2015 documentary “PlantPure Nation”. Through his ground-breaking scientific research and his on-going efforts to educate the public concerning the benefits of the whole food plant-based lifestyle\, Dr. Campbell has positively impacted the lives of thousands of people including health professionals (doctors\, nurses\, pharmacists\, dietitians\, etc.)\, community advocates\, caregivers\, parents\, health coaches\, lifestyle counselors\, massage therapists\, policy makers\, athletes\, coaches\, chefs\, vegetarians\, vegans\, and others who value long-term health.
