This is a universal threshold in time, shared by cultures across the world: movement as medicine, drums as the heartbeat, rhythm as renewal, and dance as a way of remembering our inner light. This **Solstice Gathering** is designed as a dance-as-meditation journey, an opportunity to shake off the weight of the city, release tension, expand your heart, and rediscover the luminosity that sits quietly beneath the day-to-day rush. The musical vibes of the night weave **global bass, ethno-fusion, folktronica and shamanic soundscapes into an ecstatic wave** that invites dancers to uplift, release, soften, and awaken! You’ll also be welcomed into a ceremonial-grade cacao offering, with a guided meditation led by Seth, supporting you to land in your body, open the heart, and set a powerful positive intention for the season ahead. No experience is needed. Whether you’re new to Ecstatic Dance or you’re a seasoned mover, you’re welcome here.

Newcomers always welcome! We often go to the pub for breakfast/pints afterwards. --- If you're playing for the first time, try and join us around 10.15am-10.30am since we usually start a bit later. Bring cleats if possible (no need to bring anything else) and just turn up in your sports kit. If you can’t make it anymore, please update your RSVP. We set up at the south end of the park near the cricket nets and athletes track – the nearest tube stops are Canada water, Surrey Quays and South Bermondsey. See you on Sat!

**Join Gayatri at the Turning of the Year for a Cacao, Rose & Sound Ceremony** * We will begin with a warm welcome and introductions. * Together, we will share Cacao and Rose to deepen our connection with the Earth and open our hearts. * Through oracle cards, we will reflect on the year so far and explore our intentions for the seasons ahead. * Gayatri will then guide you on a meditative journey, accompanied by the healing vibrations of sound instruments. You are invited to relax and bathe in these frequencies. * Afterward, we will have time to share experiences in circle before closing together in gratitude. *** ### Benefits of Attending This ceremony offers a peaceful space to pause, reflect, and reconnect during the darkest point of the year. Participants will: * **Open the heart and calm the mind** through ceremonial Cacao and Rose, supporting emotional warmth, inner peace, and gentle awakening of the senses. * **Reflect with clarity** using oracle cards to review the past year and set intentions for the returning light and the seasons ahead. * **Restore balance and presence** through a guided meditation accompanied by sound healing instruments that help release tension and realign energy. * **Feel supported in community** by sharing within a safe and compassionate circle, fostering connection and mutual understanding. * **Align with natural rhythms** of the Winter Solstice — a moment of stillness, renewal, and the quiet promise of new beginnings. This gathering is a time to listen inward, to soften into gratitude, and to prepare the heart for the light that follows the longest night. *** The **Autumn Equinox**, also known as **Mabon**, marks a celebration of the final harvest. It is a time of abundance, gratitude, and reflection—a moment to give thanks for blessings received and to honour the fruits of our efforts, both literal and symbolic. This turning of the wheel also ushers in **Libra season**. The equinox itself is a point of balance between day and night, and Libra, represented by the scales, reminds us of harmony, justice, and peace. As the sun moves through this season, we are invited to reflect on our own equilibrium—acknowledging both light and shadow, and aligning ourselves with balance on our inner and outer paths.

**⚔️ Introduction to Wargaming & Painting Miniature Soldiers at The Arcane Foundry ⚔️** Join me in **The War Room at [The Arcane Foundry](https://share.google/S5i6DYJnJteHWeKtd)** for a laid-back evening of hobby talk and tabletop fun! For just **$15**, you’ll get a **3D-printed regiment of 20 high quality resin models** of your choice to paint — a **$40 value!** Bring your creativity, relax, and let’s make something awesome together. **Choose one from Below:** * 20 Orc Warriors * 20 Empire Soldiers * 20 Dwarf Warriors * 20 Elf Spearmen Step into a world where strategy meets artistry — and where every painted figure tells a story of battle, honor, and imagination. Join **Daclaud** at **The Arcane Foundry** for an evening that introduces newcomers and enthusiasts alike to the timeless craft of **tabletop wargaming** and **miniature painting**. My own journey began with a fascination for fantasy — knights in armor, grim and hardened warriors, and monstrous creatures locked in epic battle. That passion led me to **Dungeons & Dragons**, where I painted my first **Basic Heroes set** and felt the spark that comes from bringing a character to life in miniature form. Not long after, I discovered **Warhammer Fantasy** and **Warhammer 40,000**, and I was hooked. The vision of vast armies clashing across the table — each unit meticulously painted, each story unfolding through dice and imagination — became my creative obsession. During this event, we’ll explore the **origins of wargaming**, from its early military simulations to the richly detailed worlds of modern tabletop battle systems. You’ll learn how to **build and customize your own armies**, paint your first figures, and experience the joy of turning strategy and storytelling into a hands-on art form. Whether you’re drawn by the lore, the hobby, or the thrill of commanding miniature legions, this introduction will open the gates to a world that has captivated hobbyists for generations. **🎨 RSVP today and join us at The Arcane Foundry — where every brushstroke and battle tells a story.**

As we prepare to enter a new year, the Burning Bowl Ceremony offers a powerful and heartfelt opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and make space for new beginnings. You are warmly invited to join us for this sacred and reflective ritual. The Burning Bowl Ceremony is a beloved Unity tradition—an empowering moment where we release old patterns, worries, or limiting beliefs by writing them down and symbolically releasing them into the flame. This act of letting go opens the door to clarity, peace, and transformation.

Communication is everything in life! Attend this free lecture about how to be a better communicator. You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio 1266 Dublin Rd Columbus OH 43215 For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !! Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do. We worship the GOD that LOVES US! We understand that god is an energy and it lives in us as us. Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :) Also we are a home not a business, so we enjoy building community one friend at a time. We always build in time for people to mingle & develop friendships! xoxo Much Love, Frank Tennyson Namaste, Frank Tennyson http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/f/9/9/600_447824953.jpeg
