Hi Everyone, I'll be teaming up with fellow magical presenters to offer you Light upgrades, spiritual downloads, release from the old, resets with the new you with a sacred - Rebirth & Realignment 2026: A Soul Reset & Frequency Upgrade Workshop As the year comes to a close, the Universe invites us into its sacred cycle of *completion and renewal* — a time to release everything that no longer serves, shed old patterns, and step boldly into the highest version of who you are becoming. Embrace your luminous new self and align with your new timeline. ***Rebirth & Realignment 2026*** is a deeply transformative end-of-year spiritual gathering designed to help you realign with your true self, activate your inner light, and prepare your energy field for the new timeline ahead. This experience weaves together powerful modalities, guided by three gifted facilitators, creating a multidimensional space of healing, clarity, and expansion. **Highlights of the event:** • *Grounding Meditation & Chakra Activation:* Settle into your body and anchor your energy into the present moment. From this centred state, your chakras gently open, allowing your system to receive higher frequencies, restore balance, and prepare for deeper healing throughout the evening. *• Group Reiki Healing Session:* exceptionally powerful when individuals with similar resonance gather with a shared intention. In this collective field, each person’s energy amplifies the others, creating a unified vortex of divine support that helps everyone release, revive, and heal on a much deeper level. • *Live Channelling with Collective Guidance and Frequency Activation Codes.* Receive intuitive messages and higher wisdom tailored for the group’s energy. This guidance supports your inner evolution, offering clarity and alignment as you step into the new year. • *Sound Frequency Activation Journey - Pleiadean Channeled* Immerse yourself in a field of healing vibrations as crystal tones and vocal frequencies move through your body. These sound waves gently recalibrate your energetic system, dissolve tension, calm the mind, and elevate your vibration so you can integrate the evening’s healing on a deeper, cellular level. • *Oracle cards* *• Closing Ceremony & Optional Networking* Integrate your experience and anchor the shifts you’ve received by setting clear intentions for your path ahead. The evening concludes with a guided protective shielding — an armour of light to keep your energy clear, safe, and uplifted — followed by optional connection time with like-minded souls in a nurturing community space. ***Why This Event Is Special?*** This gathering is intentionally curated as an energetic bridge —a sacred portal guiding you from who you’ve been…into who you are now ready to become. Step into the new year with clarity, ease, and purpose. •Reconnect with your higher self and true potential •Prepare your soul for a refreshed timeline and new beginning This is your moment to shed the old, revive your light, and rise into the highest expression of yourself. ***Perfect For You If…*** •You feel the need to release emotional or energetic heaviness •You want to begin the new year aligned, centred, and empowered •You’re seeking clarity, healing, renewal, or direction •You’re ready to move into your next chapter with intention you’d love to experience multiple healing modalities in one transformative evening. **Ready to step into your next evolution?** Reserve your spot now and begin the new year in a higher vibration.

Join us at Easton Town Center for a casual evening of board gaming. Play from our library or bring one of your favorites to share. We usually bring along Catan, Ticket to Ride, Cascadia, etc... We'll be set up at the Donatos Pizza Party Room. It was free for us to reserve, but you may want to buy a drink or go in on a pizza. Why Easton? Although there aren't any board game stores / cafes here, it's a nice area. More importantly, this event coincides with LifeTime Fitness Parent's Night Out, so our kid will get babysat. If you happen to be a member of Lifetime you too can get free babysitting and play some games.

Come hang out for a Game Night at Pins and Mikey’s on New Year’s Eve Wednesday, December 31st @10pm. This will be at the Dublin Location! I’m sure it will be PACKED, if that is not your scene, this is likely not for you. Pins might have a ball drop playing on the tvs, hopefully they do. We didn’t rent lanes, so you can pay what you want and play what you want. We start meeting at 10pm but you can show up whenever, just message on the event that you are here and someone will come find you. I will also post updates for attendees about where we are as the night goes on. Below are the prices you can expect for the games at Pins, many are free: 🎳 Duckpin - $9 per person per game. Miniature bowling and the main attraction. Pinball - $1 per game. ⚽️ Foosball - 50 cents per game. 🏓 Ping Pong - 25 cents self serve per game. (sometimes this is free when you get there honestly) 🕹️👾Arcade - free Patio Pong - free. Like the cup pong drinking game, but giant. ⭕️ Hookie - free. You throw rings onto hooks, it’s like darts but safer apparently. 🪵 Giant Jenga - free. Jenga but larger. Plus we have Mikey’s right next door! It is even accessible from inside Pins. Mikeys has two Vegan pizzas, a pepperoni and a bbq chiken. I know you can also bring outside food at this location so don’t hesitate to bring anything you’d like. Just no outside drinks! 🅿️ There are multiple free multi-level parking garages, such as the Longshore, Mooney, and Howe garages. As well as street parking. Lastly, FYI, Pins is always 21+ after 9pm for anyone who planned to bring someone younger than that. I think that covers everything. So yeah! Come celebrate, hang out, and vibe if you want! It can get competitive when it comes to games, so come ready to win!! 😤😆

If you’ve never been out with us, or it’s been a while… this is the event to jump in. Most people come solo and leave with new friends. Bowling on New Year’s Eve is **nearly impossible to book** — and we locked down 8 lanes. That alone makes this a rare one. we are definitely not a pro bowlers (**I’m actually pretty bad** 😅), but bowling is way better when pizza and beer are involved 🍕🍺 This event is posted on meetup with Central Ohio Friends **Please RSVP with ONE group only** 🎳 • $15 per person • 2 hours of unlimited bowling • Up to 6 people per lane • **Bring $15 exact cash** (helps us move fast) ⏰ THE PLAN 🕢 **7:45 PM** – Show up, grab a drink, and settle in 🕘 **9:00 PM – Bowling starts** 🕚 **11:00 PM** – Head to Level One Bar & Arcade / **The Derby (Worthington)** to **watch the ball drop** and finish the night 🎉 Please **arrive early (around 8:00 PM)** so we can get checked in and start on time. If you’re new, nervous, or haven’t been out with us before — you won’t be the only one. If you need help finding the group or have questions, feel free to reach out. 📍 LOCATION Sequoia Pro Bowl 5501 Sandalwood Blvd Columbus, OH 43229 ⚠️ GPS heads-up: The entrance can be tricky.
