**Discussion overview:** White lies, ghosting, fake excuses - modern rejection can be a minefield. Many people try polite or indirect exits to stay safe and protect everyone's feelings. But do these actually cause more harm than good? Could clear and open communication actually be more safe, respectful and constructive for everyone? We'll discuss.. 1\. 📱 **The Polite Lie:** Is indirect communication (white lies, ghosting, fake excuses, etc) a valid way to stay safe and protect people's feelings? 2\. 🎭 **What Do We Owe?** Do we owe someone an honest and clearer explanation? Could doing so help them move on and/or focus on other things, e.g. improve themselves? 3\. 🥂 **The Good Vibe:** Can rejection happen without entirely dismissing someone or making the next interactions awkward? *Join us for a relaxed group conversation where we explore real life, grey areas, and how our different cultures and backgrounds shape our views about key topics.* *Expect real talk, no judgment, and a chance to learn how others see it.* **\*Come for the discussion, stay for the friendships. Our weekly discussion series brings together thoughtful people for honest conversations on relationships, life, and society - with warm social vibes before and after.\*** **WHAT TO EXPECT:** * Good vibes only: we chat big topics in a chill, respectful way. No arguing - just open-minded exchange. * We warm up with casual socializing (come solo or with friends!) * The topic starts around 7:45/8pm, wraps around 9:30. * 🍕 There's pizza, drinks, milkshakes and snacks available at the bar (incl plant-based options) * And most people stay until late for drinks and mingling! **DISCUSSION FORMAT:** **\- Our group conversations are open and flexible\! There is a very soft guided flow to ensure we focus on the key questions\, and to ensure that everyone gets a balanced opportunity to speak\.** \- We rotate groups intentionally during the discussion so everyone gets to meet a wider mix of people and perspectives\. \- After the structured part\, you’re free to mix and mingle with anyone\. **Here's a typical discussion flow, but we may adjust this depending on the turnout:** \- Introductions and initial thoughts *(\~5 mins).* \- Group breakouts per question *(\~20 mins x 3).* \- Final round of opinions *(\~10 mins)*. \- Mix and mingle\, make new friends\, get drinks etc *(\~until late)* **Rules & etiquette:** 1\. Debate the topic\, not the participants \- no personal attacks please\. 2\. No phones\, no interrupting\, no bystanding\. 3\.

Er ist verwirrt und versucht zu verstehen, was passiert ist. Die Welt, wie er sie vorfindet, ist geprägt von Frieden, Fernsehen und sozialen Medien. Hitler möchte sein Ziel, die Weltherrschaft an sich zu reißen, weiterverfolgen, doch die Menschen, die er trifft, halten ihn für einen witzigen Imitator. Er begegnet einem Fernsehproduzenten und wird schnell zu einem TV-Star..

Thought this would be a nice way to spend a couple of hours. There are a variety of independent traders/stalls offering clothing, fashion and other hand-crafted, unique items here at Spitalfields. I thought we could spend an hour or so at the market and then find somewhere to eat; either a stall at the market or a nearby pub/restaurant. if we meet outside Liverpool Station (the closest tube station to Spitalfields) at 11am, we can then head round to the market together.

Last drum circle of the season! We've met at the Wheatsheaf Hall every month since October, journeying through the huge cosmic shift underway in the skies and in the human spirit - let's make May 30th a celebration of Spring in its full glory and cast our spells for the summer months ahead. Radical Faeries and Queer Spirits gather in south London at the Full Moon in Sagittarius, a time when the Gemini Sun and Sagittarius Moon bring our attention to the union of the lower and higher mind - our individual and collective consciousness. Through the drum rhythms and trance dancing we unite the body, mind, heart and spirit. As we play, we heal, we feel our interconnectedness, we become whole. Uranus, the queerest planet of the solar system, has recently completed 8 years in Taurus - a place where his liberating energy meets resistance. The last time Uranus was in Taurus was 1934-42, and just like that period, his Taurean sojourn this time has seen the rise of authoritarian leaders and attacks on LGTBQ+ rights. But now Uranus is free to express himself again in the air energy of Gemini, where he will be until 2032. At the drum circle let's celebrate the liberation of the Uranian spirit. Shokti has studied the parallels between the transits of Uranus and the cause of LGBTQ liberation -with uncanny results that might suggest that, as Plato wrote and Edward Carpenter and other 19th century queers celebrated, we really are the people of Aphrodite Urania - [read more here](https://rainbowmessenger.blog/2025/05/22/uranus-is-the-queerest-planet/) We gather from 7 to set up the space and greet each other, cast a circle at 8pm then we drum, dance, socialise and play through the evening. There's lots of drums and percussion to share around, you are welcome to bring your own instruments too, your own refreshments and maybe snacks to share. Entry suggested £5 - £10, cash at the venue, or via PayPal [PayPal.Me](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/shokti) NOTAFLOF - No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. **Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink.** We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat!
