Recovering from Religion

If you’ve ever felt nervous speaking in meetings or presenting your ideas, you’re not alone. Public speaking is one of the biggest fears people have. But 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭. 𝐈𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭. That’s exactly what we do at Toastmasters. Many public speaking workshops last one or two days. You leave inspired, but a few weeks later the impact fades. Not because the workshop was bad, but because speaking is a skill. And skills are built through regular practice. That’s where Toastmasters is different. We meet regularly, practice speaking, receive feedback, and improve step by step. You can practice speaking for an entire year at Toastmasters for roughly the price of a one- or two-day workshop. Toastmasters is a global organization with clubs in more than 140 countries, making the system structured, proven, and trusted worldwide.

Javno nastopanje je eden najpogostejših strahov ljudi. Toda samozavest pri govorjenju ne pride iz branja o tem. Pride iz prakse. Točno to počnemo v Toastmasters. Veliko delavnic javnega nastopanja traja en ali dva dni. Od tam odidemo navdihnjeni, a čez nekaj tednov učinek izgine. Ne zato, ker bi bila delavnica slaba, ampak ker je govorjenje veščina. In veščine se razvijajo z redno prakso. Tu je Toastmasters drugačen. Redno se srečujemo, vadimo govorjenje, prejemamo povratne informacije za izboljšanje in postopoma napredujemo. V Toastmasters lahko vadite javno nastopanje celo leto za približno ceno enodnevne ali dvodnevne delavnice. Toastmasters je globalna organizacija s klubi v več kot 140 državah, zato je sistem učenja strukturiran, preizkušen in zaupanja vreden po vsem svetu. 𝟐𝟎. 𝐚𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐨𝐝𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐨 𝐯𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐧𝐚𝐬̌𝐞𝐠𝐚 𝐤𝐥𝐮𝐛𝐚 𝐳𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐳𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜̌𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐞𝐜̌𝐞𝐫.

Naša srečanja potekajo v angleškem jeziku, kar je še posebej koristno za strokovnjake, ki delajo v mednarodnem okolju in želijo postati bolj samozavestni pri komunikaciji v angleščini.

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

How do we recover from having had a toxic or narcissistic ex? How do we move on from the past, especially something as traumatic as a divorce or breakup? How do we avoid anxiety and depression? How do we have more self esteem? In this meeting, you will learn the mental health secrets to help you quickly get over the past and heal your mind. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

From birth, human beings are learning. Before we are able to hold concrete memories, we are being shaped and impacted by everything about our lives and situations. From the point that we become capable of cognizant thought and memory, our lives could be summed up as a series of our responses to our circumstances, whether for good or for ill. Dr. Joe Dispenza sees a deep need for human beings to live *on purpose*. Rather than just living life in reaction mode, he challenges people to live intentionally, to seek to change the negative that we have encountered and to pursue the positive through purposeful steps in a different and healthy direction. His study and work seek to demonstrate the changes that can be made from the inside out. Join us as we take a look at new ways to grow at **6:30 pm,** **Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
