### **Summer Love - Bring a friend for free.** I love the summer time and the way the sun extends the perception of day into the night. Late nights with friends takes on a whole new flavor during these summer months. So – for the month of June– **you are invited to bring your friend along (for free)** to share this precious space x dance together. **✧ FOR YOU ✧** Maybe you’re curious about eroticism as life force — about playing with sensuality, clothing, and aliveness in a safe(r) space. Maybe you just love good music and want to dance outside the club. CLOSER x-dance is for all who want to explore the meeting of movement, creativity x life force energy. CLOSER x-dance is open to all, creating a safe(r) space for different horizons, sexual orientations and experiences. ***No previous experience required.*** **✦ WHAT IS CLOSER x-dance ✦** CLOSER x-dance is a dedication to unshackling any chains that teach us to separate our inherent er-t\*c aliveness from the rest of ourselves. It is an invitation to embrace the sensual when it arises, to grant permission to our emotions, and to move with creative play in a spontaneous movement journey. Guided by an eclectic wave of sound and inspirational prompts, you’ll move through the 5Rhythms — five life energies that rise and fall like a wave. ✺ **Three ingredients shape each journey** ✺ ✺ Celebration of you - Nothing to get "right" ✺ Invitations - Follow what feels true for you ✺ Presence - Dance becomes a meditation in motion **⟢ CONTRIBUTION ⟣** ⟢ €15 \(Reduced\) \| €20 \(Regular\) \| €25 \(Supportive\) ⟢ Buy at www.samarlinn.com/events or cash at the door **⋰ WHAT TO EXPECT ⋱** ⋰ Entry from 19.15 - Please note entry after 19.45 isn’t possible. ⋰ Warm-up + Introduction ⋰ Guided music wave — move, release, reconnect ⋰ Take it further - open space after class to connect ⋰ No phones on the dance floor

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
