Empty Nesters

**Drop in English Meditation Classes with Gen Kelsang Tonglam** **New series “Empathy & Emptiness” starts 7 April** **Tuesday 7:30pm – 9:00pm** **No booking required. Everyone welcome.** **Just as I wish to be free from suffering and experience only happiness, so do all other beings. In this respect, I am no different from any other being; we are all equal. \~ The New Meditation Handbook** **Our ability to let go of our self-centered view of the world and understand the experience of others, otherwise known as compassion, is fundamental to finding fulfillment and meaning in our life. Also Buddhist teachings on emptiness, the true nature of things, help us to dissolve the barrier between self and other that makes us feel isolated, independent, and separate from other living beings.** **Meditate on the extraordinary practice of exchanging self with others, that unifies emptiness and empathy, so as to experience this transformative wisdom in our heart. Join us for an enjoyable exploration of these ideas and gain practical tools on how to grow your experience of letting go of your ordinary sense of self—and embrace the warmth and joy of identifying with and connecting to others.** **7/4 There is No Gap** **14/4 Limitless Empathy** **5/5 Self as Other, Others as Self** **12/5 The Fearless Bodhisattva** **Donation is appreciated. Suggested donation: $50 per class.** **More info: https://www.meditation.hk/2021/en/meditation-advice-for-daily-life/** **#modernbuddhism #meditateinhongkong**

有時候，會想找陌生人談談，可以是工作、家庭、情感，互為樹洞，互相取暖。 認識一個人，聽一個故事。

This is not an event. If you are between 20-30s and would like to join a group for this age group, you are welcome to sign up. 這不是一項活動。如果您年齡在20-30歲之間，並且想加入適合這個年齡層的團體，歡迎你报名。 20到30歲這個年齡段｜找個地方，慢慢認識 想拉一個混齡小群。 20歲到30歲，其實沒差幾歲， 但看世界的方式，好像有點不一樣。 週末有空的時候，一起： 桌遊｜別太認真，開心就好 聊聊哲學｜或聊聊廢話 爬山｜出點汗，換口氣 citywalk｜走哪裡算哪裡 或者其他活動 沒有固定流程，不搞形式主義。 只是想認識一些： 年齡不同、但頻道對得上的人。 meet up報名後會私訊你拉你進群 群裡面會時不時有活動通知 Age 20 - Age 30 | Finding a place to slowly get to know each other** I want to form a mixed-age small group. Being 20 - 30 years old isn’t that different, but the way we see the world seems a bit different. On weekends when we're free, let’s: - Play board games | Not too serious, just have fun - Discuss philosophy | Or just chat about random stuff - Go hiking | Get some exercise and fresh air - City walk | Just go wherever we feel like - Or engage in other activities There won’t be a fixed agenda, and we won’t engage in formality. just want to meet people from different ages who resonate with each other. Sign up on meet up and I will message you to let you join the group. There will be occasional activity notifications in the group. 活動所有內容請以中文版為準 Please refer to the Chinese version for all event details.

Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in! We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind. If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.

**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! (ps - empty the glasses into the sink, not the trash ... please) **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

Join us for happy hour and then **BINGO**! *Bingo starts at 6:30pm*. Feeling lucky? Many from our group win cash and prizes at this bingo! Great happy hour prices and maybe some 💰! Three games, 5 rounds each. Each game, buy 2 cards/$5, 4 cards/$10, etc. **BRING CASH!** [Pastimes](https://www.pastimespubandgrill.com/crosswoods/) is a neighborhood sports bar with a creative and fresh food menu, delicious cocktails, infused liquors, and very cold beer!

**Join us at Alive614, then after at Wilson's for food & LIve Music with Hensley.** We'll shut the doors at wine club early at 8 pm so we can catch a full two hours of live music (no cover charge there) down the street at Wilson's Bar (https://wilsonshilliard.com/events/ ) until 10 pm. We did this a few months ago for "Smashburgers" and it seemed popular and worth doing again. Oh, and the smashburgers are pretty good there! **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\.
