**The most mysterious and least explored of the Central Asian “stans”,** Turkmenistan has long been one of the hardest countries to approach. It shares borders with Kazakhstan to the northwest, Uzbekistan to the north and east, Afghanistan to the southeast, Iran to the south and southwest, and the Caspian Sea to the west. For centuries, **Turkmenistan stood at the crossroads of civilizations**. In medieval times, Merv was one of the great cities of the Islamic world and an important Silk Road stop, a vital link in the trade route between China and the West until the mid 15th century. Annexed by the Russian Empire in 1881, Turkmenistan later played a prominent role in the anti-Bolshevik movement in Central Asia. In 1924, it became the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic, a constituent republic of the USSR, and **gained independence in 1991.** The country became famous for the dictatorship of Saparmyrat Niyazov, who ruled as ‘**Turkmenbashi**’ (‘leader of the Turkmen’) and governed until his death in 2006. His era left a surreal legacy: **golden statues of himself and grand monuments** celebrating the so-called “golden age” of Turkmenistan. Yet the **essence of Turkmenistan lies beyond its politics** — in the warmth and generosity of its people, whose legendary hospitality makes visitors feel instantly welcome. **Ashgabat**, the capital, is a billion dollar display of national pride, with endless white marble buildings stretching across a long, dry valley. At sunrise or sunset, the city glows with a strange beauty, resembling more a scene from a sci-fi movie than an earthly settlement. A visit to the **Köw Ata Underground Lake** offers a unique experience. Descend into a cave at the base of a mountain, walking down a staircase 65 meters underground, into a world of warm, sulphurous air. At the bottom, a crystal-clear lake, naturally heated to around 36°C, invites you for a surreal swim deep beneath the earth’s surface. **Turkmenistan doors to hell…** And then there is Turkmenistan’s most **famous spectacle: the “Doors to Hell”**. In the desert village of Darvaza, home to around 350 tribal residents, life had been unchanged for centuries. Nothing could interrupt the peaceful and quiet lifestyle of the nomadic tribe, aside from sitting on a valuable cache of natural resources. Initial estimations of the site’s reserves were extremely low. In the early 1970s, Soviet scientists attempted to burn off escaping gas after a drilling mishap. When they lit the gas, it erupted and **never stopped burning. Over forty years later locals call it the Doors to Hell.** [https://vimeo.com/183429568](https://vimeo.com/183429568) **Let's go!** **DAY 0 // Thursday – Departure** Meet at 22:00 at Terminal 2 for a direct flight departing on Friday at 00:20. **DAY 1 // Friday** Arrival, immigration formalities, and check-in at our lavish white-marble hotel for a short rest. Complete foreign passport registration. Take a quick tour to admire the majestic statues of Ashgabat and a few other city landmarks. In the evening, **depart for Darvaza**. En route, stop at two other craters – one filled with water and one with sulphur mud – both releasing gas from underground. Enjoy an **“A Little Party Never Killed Nobody”** themed BBQ dinner near the main crater, followed by an unforgettable sunset over the burning gas spectacle. **(Camping).** **DAY 2 // Saturday** In the morning, head to Kopet Dag (“hilly mountains”) and continue towards Nokhur village. Return towards Ashgabat and take a swim in the volcanic **underground lake of Kow-Ata**. In the evening, immerse yourself in **Ashgabat’s sci-fi cityscape** neon-lit streets framed by white marble facades and explore the local nightlife. **DAY 3 // Sunday** Start the day with souvenir shopping at Tolkuchka Market, the largest in Turkmenistan. Visit the **UNESCO World Heritage site Old Nissa**, the Turkmenbashi Ruhy Mosque, Independence Square, and statues of national heroes. **DAY 4 // Monday** Early morning transfer to the airport for your return flight to Dubai. Back home at 07:00 hrs. Bye bye Turkmenistan! **Activities:** trekking, swimming, sightseeing, getting amazed with burning gas crater! **Accommodation & meals:** 4 star hotel double sharing + 1 night camping, local meals included. **Cost: 7,100 AED all incl. flights** **and visa pre-approval cost** **until MAR 05.** **Visa:** payable on arrival, approx. 115 USD. **RSVP:** To reassure enough time for visa processing and eventual re-applying in case of denial, we recommend to join this trip within 30 days before travel date. Standard cancellation policy applies for anyone joining later.

**South Sudan where cattle population is higher than population of people**, recently hosted a pope and despite being officially newest country on the world map, still struggles for international recognition. Juba, the capitol, is a home to one of the worst traffic organizations in Africa. Central round about can proudly compete with Dhaka rush hours. Nearby streets are filled with entrepreneurs’ outlets, on Custom Road you will find **Fast Food Rolex, Dubai Mall, Doha stores**, amongst many others. **Among the tallest people in the world**, towering over the cows and bulls of their cattle camps, the **Mundari are one of the most fascinating tribes on the planet**, their way-of-life far removed from the modern world. The fertile region of South Sudan, home to wildlife migrations, raiding tribes and warriors, and everyday rituals sure to shock you out of the ordinary! **The Mundari are a small ethnic group of South Sudan** and one of the Nilotic peoples, indigenous to the Nile Valley, and composed of cattle-herders and farmers. Like much of South Sudan, the land they occupy is low-lying area prone to flooding, providing very fertile basis for cattle grazing. The Mundari people have close connection to their cattle, from giving them names and having them take part in their rituals and practices. The most treasured cattle among the Mundari are the Ankole-Watusi, the “Cattle of Kings”, with the most impressive having **horns that can reach over 2 meters long**. The cattle themselves have heritage dating back thousands of years, from the combination of the Egyptian Longhorn of Africa and the Zebu Longhorn of India. Relying on the herding of cattle, sheep and goats to obtain milk, blood, meat and leather, the tribe also have a reputation for being fierce warriors, **where status and wealth are measured in cattle** and loaded weapons. Low-level warfare to rustle and raid cattle is not uncommon. South Sudan is a place for the true explorer, with expedition into this remote and unknown part of the world for those wishing to see what few others can! **Let's go!** **Day 1 // Arrival + sunset at Mundari** Morning flight, followed by Immigration adventure.

Lunch at the bank of the river, before we move to the wrestling ground, followed by local dance show. After dinner, we will have possibility of checking the night life, rooftop bars and perhaps the casino, where Chinese expats bet high with locals. Overnight in the hotel or optional wedding crashing, subject of availability. **Day 3 // Nile boat trip** Breakfast and check out from the hotel.

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.
