🎤 PITCH YOUR SINGLE FRIEND – A Fun, Slightly Chaotic Saturday Night ❤️ 📅 Saturday, April 18 ⏰ From 20:00 📍 Pub LOO-BLAH-NAH Center, Ljubljana 🎟️ Entry: Free Ljubljana! Forget the apps. Forget the "swipe left" fatigue. On Saturday, April 18th, we are bringing the most viral dating event in the world to Pub LOO-BLAH-NAH Center. THE CONCEPT: It’s part PowerPoint night, part comedy show, and 100% chaos. The rules are simple: You (the wingman/wingwoman) get 3-5 minutes on stage to "sell" your single best friend to the crowd. Tell us why they’re a catch, share their most embarrassing (but lovable) traits, and show us their best (and worst) photos. THE FLOW OF THE NIGHT: 🔥 20:00 – The Pitching War: Watch 8-10 brave friends pitch their single friends. 🎤 The Hot Seat: After each pitch, a 2-minute "Rapid Fire" Q&A where the audience grills the presenter. 🎉 21:00 – The Color-Coded Afterparty: Once the presentations are over, we transition into a massive international social. THE INTERACTIVE TWIST (wristbands): To make mingling 10x easier, we’re using a color-coded system: 🟢 GREEN: Single and ready to mingle. 🔴 RED: Taken, wingmanning, or just here for the chaos. PITCHERS WANTED! Want to get your friend off the market? Sign up to present below. Limited spots available! IMPORTANT FOR PITCHERS: Please prepare a short powerpoint presentation — the style is totally up to you (funny, cute, chaotic… get creative 😄). \* Duration: 3–5 minutes�• Before the event email us your presentation.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Bienvenue! Columbus French Conversation group invites you to our Saturday morning French conversation club. Expect a casual and welcoming atmosphere in which to learn french! I will bring my laptop so we can look up new vocabulary as needed! The venue is a beautiful French restaurant so you can really get into the zone :)

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
