Hello Prague Discoverers and Foodies! After trying Turkish on the last dining meetup, let’s move one country further to the east and try Persian food! An AI overview says that "Persian cuisine is characterized by a balance of delicate flavors, often pairing aromatic herbs, fruits, and nuts with rice and meats. It is rarely hot-spicy, relying instead on saffron, dried limes, turmeric, and cinnamon for a subtle, complex taste. Key elements include slow-cooked stews (khoresh), seasoned rice (polo), and grilled kebabs." It sounds pretty appetizing, doesn't it? The restaurant is located near the "Národní třída" metro B station. WHEN: Thursday 4th June, 7 pm onwards WHERE: [Persia Restaurant](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fyr3EbVWaMFGpfAx5) ADDRESS: Spálená 107/49, 110 00 Nové Město MENU (in pdf): [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gx74A7jZX0ulkf5Dx4JSD-PHyHSqpbqU/view](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gx74A7jZX0ulkf5Dx4JSD-PHyHSqpbqU/view) PRICE: There is no organization fee, just pay your bill after the dinner directly to the restaurant. \*\*\*\*\*\* Please honor your RSVP.

Haunting shadows at my heels, Nightmares followed by the lies, Peace as distant as the sunrise, Waiting still in silence... like a warrior. Closed eyes will never open, Facing the fools, oh, they belong to the night. I will not be broken by you, Just a warrior like my God, like my God. I confide in You, I am so afraid that I will be left alone, But I will fight like a warrior, like my God. Drowning me, a cruel smile is here to stay, Thinking 'bout what has to be, forget the life, Feels like a warrior... something like my God. Feel unknown, I remain, Following through the ages and my pieces, I have been denied, left forsaken, Punished by the design, my ordinary dream. I confide in You still, though my spirit is down, But I will fight like a warrior, like my God. Erase me, I will not surrender, But I will fight like a warrior, like my God. Years of memories, a fading story, Too many things that were deleted and lost. I stand in the ruins, with the weight, But I will fight like a warrior, something like my God, like, my God. ***© 2026 Comes The Rain Production™.***

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.

Attend a free seminar on how to have successful and lasting relationships. At this seminar you will learn: How to spot and handle negative and toxic relationships.
