Wondering what to read next? You wish to explore "Book X," but somehow "Book Y" catches your attention and holds your time hostage in pages. "Book Z," on the other hand, is the one you think you should read to *improve* your life, because only then does busy reading become busy living, and progress is assured! But what about when life is good enough to read for pleasure? Or bad enough to escape through fantasy? Do the books we choose shape our character? Or do they simply reveal what we already are? Too philosophical, I know… Ralph Waldo Emerson — whom I’ve never read — said: “I cannot remember the books I have read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.” This discussion aims to explore the reading choices we make and the connecting power of books: how they link people to ideas, ideas to ideas, and most importantly, people to people... Let’s meet and talk books.

Join us for a Meaningful Afterwork exploring how we can become true practitioners of peace in our immediate environment! **🕊️ Meaningful Afterwork: "Why Not Try Peace For A While?"** Dearest participants, We would love to invite you to our upcoming ***Meaningful Afterwork*** on **Thursday, 19 February**, hosted at the **Bahá’í Centre** in **Luxembourg City**. The Theme: **"Why Not Try Peace For A While?"** *"2nd August. Germany has declared war on Russia. — Swimming lessons in the afternoon."* This was Franz Kafka’s diary entry in 1914, the day the First World War began. It is a poignant reminder of two things: first, that our individual lives continue even amidst global upheaval; and second, that while conflict may have hindered humanity’s journey toward maturity in the past, it by no means determines our future. Like Kafka, we do not lose our agency during dark or trying times. At this ***Meaningful Afterwork***, we want to explore the lights in our everyday lives that illumine the path to peace. How can we cultivate **tranquility and lightness within ourselves** and **radiate it into the world around us**? And even more importantly, how can we become **true practitioners of peace in our immediate environments**? We will explore these questions through a series of short, thought-provoking excerpts from the **Bahá’í Writings**. The Details: * 📅 **Date:** Thursday, 19th January * ⏰ **Time:** 6:30pm * 📍 **Location:** 17, Allée Léopold Goebel, Luxembourg City In case you have further questions, feel free to contact us via email ([meaningfulafterwork@gmail.com](https://meaningfulafterwork@gmail.com "https://meaningfulafterwork@gmail.com")). Warmly, Your Meaningful Afterwork Team P.S.: The Meaningful Afterworks are organized for young professionals, participants should therefore ideally be between 25 and 40 years old – thank you for your understanding 🙏🏼 P.P.S.: As spaces for the upcoming Meaningful Afterwork will be limited, please sign up via the link below to let us know if you’re coming, if you’re bringing a colleague, and what treats you might be bringing for the potluck: 🔗 [https://forms.gle/UFf37zNWramGJndk7 ](https://forms.gle/UFf37zNWramGJndk7)

Join us at **Unity of Columbus** for *Spa for Your Soul*, a restorative and inspiring workshop designed to nourish your spirit, awaken your inner wisdom, and reconnect you with the sacred rhythm of life. Drawing from the rich spiritual insights of **Matthew Fox** and the timeless theological wisdom of **Thomas Aquinas**, this workshop invites participants into a deeper experience of spirituality rooted in compassion, creativity, and divine presence. Together, we will explore spirituality not as something distant or abstract, but as a lived, embodied experience—one that honors joy, justice, beauty, and the inherent goodness of creation. Through guided reflection, gentle spiritual practices, discussion, and contemplative moments, *Spa for Your Soul* offers a sacred space to release stress, renew clarity, and remember the divine spark within. This is an opportunity to pause, breathe, and tend lovingly to your soul—much like a spa experience, but for your inner life. Whether you are seeking spiritual refreshment, deeper understanding, or simply a peaceful space to be present, this workshop welcomes you exactly as you are. **Come, rest, reflect, and renew—your soul deserves it.**

Our next much-awaited **COLUMBUS** meetup is **Tuesday February 24 from 7-10 pm at ACE OF CUPS**.

Meeting Room 3B, Main Library 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. This first gathering is a simple introduction to the spirit of the group and a chance to meet others seeking deeper meaning and community. All backgrounds are welcome.

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.
