Then I found I could heal it! My story of seeking balance began two decades ago. Nowadays many women have had amazing healing and empowering experiences with this practice. For those new to this space, a bit more about me on the foot of this event. **The [JADE EGG HOLISTIC PRACTICE](https://www.jadecircleanamarta.com/jade-egg-holistic-practice/)** A unique method that addresses all levels of being. Anchored in my shamanic background and two decades of experience in crystal healing. It has kept refining and evolving over the past nineteen years. Presenting the [Jade Egg](https://www.jadecircleanamarta.com/jade-circle-shop/) as a transformational healing tool. It is the culmination of my devotion to the Yin Taoist Practices and Alchemy Secrets. With the commitment to revive the Jade Priestess Lineage and the Dragon Mystic Codes. **[ANAMARTA](https://www.jadecircleanamarta.com/anamarta/)** *Called a Trailblazer in Feminine Empowerment, a Visionary, and a Spiritual Midwife. A Taoist Master by the Independent Newspaper.* Initiated by my grandmother into the family lineage of Medicine Women. I dedicate my life to helping women access their radiant health and self-empowerment. I’m a pioneer of the Tao of Feminine Empowerment. I qualified as a Taoist Master Trainer from Healing Tao UK. And became an Advanced Instructor of the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain. Teaching the Jade Egg Holistic Practice & Kuan Yin Qigong for most of my adult life. I teach ongoing monthly circles, online courses, weekend workshops, and week-long retreats. Women describe these experiences as life-enhancing and for many life-changing. An honour and a joy to hold this sacred space for many thousands of women around the world. Then when the Jade Temple Online started, the world gathered in one place. In the same spirit of love and what I’d like to call sisterhood medicine. Since its birth in London in 2007, the Jade Circle® has visited 14 countries over four continents. I'm grateful for the numerous places that have hosted me.

📚Reading books and discussing them are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing insights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives. Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're currently reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader. There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬 It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests! ⚠️**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🔍 **How to find us?** * When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group. * If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡 I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

This Sunday we will head to The Christophers at 12pm in The Lighthouse. We'll meet outside from 11am and head into the cafe when it opens (usually 11:15am). The Christophers 100mins The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have an inheritance when he dies. Starring Ian McKellen [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34966562/plotsummary?item=po8336614](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34966562/plotsummary?item=po8336614)

Join us for a series of short talks on possibly one of the oldest and most mysterious philosophical questions? Who am I? We will explore it from 3 perspectives: * Genetics * Neuroscience * Anthropolog **The Gene Delusion** What is a gene, and what it is not. Are we just our genes or are they part of a network of factors that makeup our biological identity? It is often imagined as the fundamental unit of life’s story—the script that writes who we are. But this view, though seductive, is incomplete. A gene is not a destiny coded in molecular ink; it is a participant in a vast, dynamic conversation. **Neuroscience and the Ghost in the Machine** In the long-standing dialogue between mind and brain, neuroscience has made remarkable strides in mapping the physical architecture of thought—tracing emotions, decisions, and memories to vast networks of neural activity. Yet the question remains: is the mind merely what the brain does, or is it something more—a modern echo of the “ghost in the machine”? **Anthropology – Consciousness Gateway to our essence** What is consciousness? Philosophy links it to our essence as human beings. How can we find our essence? It is described as finding our centre, to be within our centre – so it is linked to concentration (con centrum ‘to be within our center’). Mircea Eliade (Historian and Anthropologist) describes this search for, and idea of a centre from which all life emerges, as a very human endeavour. What makes us human? How do we connect with what is essentially human and our life force? *There will be a break with tea, coffee and cakes.*

By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year. The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars. You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
