You've been working hard to make changes in your life. You have been putting in the effort. You're doing what seems right. Yet the results do not reflect the work. And deep down, you are starting to wonder why. You are not alone. The problem may not be what you're doing. It's what's quietly working against you. This session is designed to help you find it. A safe space to pause. To reflect. To see what's really blocking you. **What you will walk away with:** • Patterns that have been quietly interfering with your progress • Clarity on what may be misaligned in your current approach • One specific and practical next step you can take immediately Sometimes one moment of awareness changes everything. And this could be your moment in 2026. If this resonates, we invite you to join us.

Each person at the table comes with a real-life story or quirk. Your job is to figure out which truth belongs to whom before the night ends. It’s a light icebreaker for people who usually hate icebreakers. **How to join** 1\.

How to Learn Anything is a practical, science-backed session on how to learn faster without learning badly or slop. We’ll explore how memory works, how the brain adapts through practice, and how to apply proven learning tools like mnemonics, mental models across very different domains - from math and AI to languages, movement, and real-world skills. Hosted by Green and Paula, a learning scientist at NTU + NIE (she's also a speedcuber and Guinness Record holder), this session combines theory with real examples from both cognitive science and high-performance learning. If you have ever wondered why some people seem to pick things up quickly - and whether that can actually be trained - this event is for you. Free to attend. Limited to 30 spots.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, April 22 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!

The topic for April is "Water" 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!
