E se il benessere non fosse qualcosa da cercare fuori… ma qualcosa da ricordare dentro di te? Con l’energia del Toro — simbolo di **stabilità, piacere e presenza** — ti invitiamo a vivere un’esperienza unica di **arteterapia & mindfulness creativa** 🌿🎨 Uno spazio per **rallentare, respirare e tornare a te**, trasformando ciò che senti in chiarezza, espressione e benessere. **Tratteremo i temi della salute, del corpo, del rapporto con i cinque sensi e le varie forme di nutrimento (compreso il denaro).** [Scopri il workshop completo qui, sconto per la community TuSai e 2x1 se vieni con un amic*](https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/astroworkshop-creativo/) Uno spazio di condivisione che ci parla della nostra stabilità e la capacità di stare in contatto con il corpo ed i nostri sensi. Come in ogni incontro, andremo oltre la superficie del mito, per trovare nuovi modi per esprimere se stessi, liberandosi da schemi e condizionamenti limitanti, sopratutto quando si tratta di nutrimento, soldi e salute. TuSai sposa a pieno i valori taurini e, credendo del potenziale presente in ognuno di noi, ti inviteremo a coltivare il benessere nelle piccole cose, in un’esperienza olistica che tocca tutti e 5 i sensi: olfatto, gusto, tatto, udito e vista. **E’ questa la chiamata all’essenza di ciò che *tu sai* e *sei*.** ### 💡 **Cosa esploreremo insieme?** Come in ogni incontro, accoglieremo le proposte dell'archetipo del mese attraverso: * **Meditazione archetipica**: un viaggio interiore guidato per incontrare il tuo “star bene come un Toro” e riconnetterti alla tua visione personale. * **Esercizi creativi e simbolici**: attraverso il disegno intuitivo e tecniche di autoespressione, esploreremo ciò che hai bisogno per stare bene nel tuo corpo e radicarti in ció che sai e sei. * **Lavoro esperienziale di gruppo**: ispirati dall’energia del Toro, creeremo uno spazio di condivisione e riflessione sul concetto di **benessere, salute e radicamento**. * **Costellazioni sistemiche**: esploreremo i legami che ti trattengono dal vivere la tua autenticità e come trasformarli in risorse per il cambiamento. ✨ **Abbraccia la stabilità, il piacere di vivere ed il benessere integrale condiviso. Porta il tuo contributo al mondo. Il futuro inizia da qui!** ✨ Il segno del Toro, secondo dello zodiaco e primo segno di Terra, rappresenta la stabilità, la concretezza e il piacere dei sensi. Governato da Venere, pianeta dell’amore, della bellezza e del gusto di vivere bene, il Toro è profondamente connesso con il corpo, la natura e la ricerca di armonia nei ritmi quotidiani. Ci insegna che **benessere non è un obiettivo ma un’esperienza quotidiana**. **Domenica 17 Maggio ore 18:00-21:00**

The topic for May is "Ink" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

We will have dinner after our drink at the speakeasy. If people want to attend both the speakeasy and dinner please rsvp for both events. This is the menu for dinner: https://www.highbankco.com/westerville
