Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of self-based suffering takes place. A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time. Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment.

My WhatsApp group: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/HagJQGbDX3F1UPO6mDuwPk](https://chat.whatsapp.com/HagJQGbDX3F1UPO6mDuwPk) Chi lo ha detto che per vedere il Mar Tirreno servono ore di traghetto o un volo low cost? Questa domenica lasciamo la Costa Smeralda ai dilettanti e puntiamo dritti verso la vera perla dell'altro lato della sponda: **Ostia Beach**!🙈​🤦‍♂️ Ostia è un po' come il "Sottosopra" della Sardegna. Stesso mare (teoricamente)🙄, ma con una sfumatura decisamente più rock, la sabbia vulcanica che scotta il triplo. Sarà soprattutto una bellissima giornata per socializzare, fare due chiacchiere e fare nuove amicizie tra un tuffo e l'altro.🏄‍♂️​🌝​ Visto che puntiamo selvaggiamente al lato più autentico (e gratuito) del litorale, ognuno è responsabile della propria sopravvivenza. Ricordate di portare: * 🏖️ **Ombrellone** * 🥪 **Pranzo al sacco** * ⚽​🎾​♠️​♥️​♦️​♣️​ Pallone, racchettoni, carte * ⛱️**Hakuna Matata**: **Spiaggia libera attrezzata di lettini, ombrelloni, bar ,bagno** * 🚂​🚎 **Come arrivare con i mezzi pubblici:** Treno da Piramide fino alla fermata Stella polare(**attenzione: Google maps calcola 1.7km ma c'è un errore di mappatura, non risulta il sottopassaggio pedonale)** * 🕒 **Nessun dramma per i ritardatari:** Non riuscite a svegliarvi presto per l'orario del ritrovo? Niente panico. Potete raggiungerci con calma anche più tardi. Vi manderemo la **posizione in tempo reale** direttamente sulla chat del gruppo! * ➡️ Fascia età 35/50 👉L'evento è organizzato per socializzare senza scopo di lucro, **non c’è alcuna assicurazione infortuni e ognuno partecipa a proprio rischio e pericolo** senza possibilità di richiedere risarcimenti o rimborsi in caso di infortunio o malore. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Many participants in our events speak English, so don’t worry if your Italian isn’t perfect — everyone is welcome!** Who said you need hours on a ferry or a low-cost flight to see the Tyrrhenian Sea? This Sunday, we are leaving Costa Smeralda to the amateurs and heading straight to the true gem on the other side of the shore: Ostia Beach! 🙈🤦‍♂️ Ostia is a bit like the "Upside Down" of Sardinia. The same sea (theoretically) 🙄, but with a much more rock 'n' roll vibe and volcanic sand that gets three times hotter. Above all, it will be a wonderful day to socialize, chat, and make new friends between one dip in the water and the next. 🏄‍♂️🌝 Since we are wildly aiming for the most authentic (and free) side of the coastline, everyone is responsible for their own survival. Remember to bring: 🏖️ Umbrella 🥪 Packed lunch ⚽🎾♠️♥️♦️♣️ Ball, beach rackets, playing cards ⛱️ **Hakuna Matata:** A free beach area equipped with sunbeds, umbrellas, a bar, and restrooms. 🚂​🚎 **How to get there by public transport**: Take the train from Piramide to either the Stella Polare stop(**Note: Google Maps calculates 1.7km, but the map is wrong; it's missing the pedestrian underpass)**, then take a bus or walk. 🕒 **No drama for latecomers:** Can't wake up early enough for the meeting time? No panic. You can easily join us later. We will send our real-time location directly in the group chat! ➡️ **Age range:** 35/50 👉 The event is organized for socializing purposes on a non-profit basis; there is no accident insurance, and everyone participates at their own risk and peril, with no possibility of claiming compensation or refunds in the event of injury or illness.

Do you sometimes feel like you do well in life then something happens and you slide back, never quite getting ahead. At this Meetup you'll find out how to identify what actually causes the lows, the highs and everything in between. More importantly you’ll get the secret of how to gain control over your life so the highs are higher and the lows go away. Wouldn’t it be nice to stop the wild roller coaster ride for good? Or at least make it a fun roller coaster ride, with more ups and downs. There is a hidden factor that will be going over and you’re going to be quite surprised what it is and how much it affects your life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is hosted at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.

Short North Street Skates return Saturday, April 4 and we’re excited to get back rolling together. These weekly rollouts are a chance to move through the city as a group, build community, and create more visibility for skating and small-wheeled movement in Columbus. Details: Meet: 1160 N High St 9:30 AM meet 10:00 AM rollout All wheels welcome We’ll be skating through the Short North and surrounding areas at a steady, social pace. Routes will use a mix of streets and bike lanes, so comfort navigating the city is helpful, but you don’t need to be an expert. If you’ve been meaning to come out, this is a great place to start. Come solo or bring a friend!

**History** [Chestnut Ridge Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/chestnut-ridge/) is historically significant because it sits on a 300-million-year-old outcropping of Blackhand sandstone. Geographically recognized as the very first foothill of the Appalachian Mountains, the ridge rises 1,116 feet above sea level. Long before European settlement, the land served as a sacred site for ancient civilizations. The park contains the Old Maid's Orchard Mound, an eight-foot-tall burial mound constructed by the Adena culture between 1000 B.C. and 100 B.C. This ancient landmark has remained largely intact and is now protected on the National Register of Historic Places. The documented modern history of the land began with an official survey conducted by Ebenezer Buckingham in 1801. Original land deeds of sale from this period notably bear the signatures of United States Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In the 1830s, Irish laborers arrived at the ridge to quarry its rich Blackhand sandstone. The blocks they hewed were used to build the crucial locks for the nearby Ohio and Erie Canal. Remnants of this early sandstone quarrying operation can still be spotted by sharp-eyed hikers along the modern trails. Agricultural transformation defined the ridge throughout the mid-to-late 19th century. Settlers discovered that the high elevation created a natural air flow that prevented late-season frost damage to crops. Extensive fruit orchards were planted across the slopes between 1860 and 1880. One notable orchard was established by John Wagner, a Spanish-American War veteran who chose the ridge specifically for its proximity to the bustling Columbus market. The park's current name pays homage to the massive American chestnut trees that once dominated the ridgeline before a devastating ecological blight wiped them out in the early 20th century. The conservation story of the modern 486-acre park began in March 1962. The Metro Parks board announced land acquisition plans to block developers from building a residential housing development called Chestnut Heights. Director-Secretary Walter A. Tucker advocated heavily for the purchase, citing the ridge's immense value as a scenic overlook for central Ohio. The district systematically purchased multiple agricultural parcels over the next two decades. After operating strictly as undeveloped farmland through the 1970s, Chestnut Ridge Metro Park officially opened to the public on December 18, 1988. In recent decades, the park has evolved from a quiet hiking spot into a premier regional destination for outdoor sports. A major turning point occurred in 2010 when the Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization (COMBO) partnered with the park district to develop new infrastructure. Volunteers worked extensively to construct a single-track mountain bike trail, which officially opened in October 2011. An expert gravity and flow trail featuring advanced jumps was later integrated into the loop in 2016. Today, the park successfully balances its deep ancient, industrial, and agricultural history with active recreation. **Map of the Park** Here is a [map of Chestnut Ridge](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CHR_map_1980px_2026.jpg). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Ridge, Meadows, and Homesite Trails, and Law's Lane, which is unmarked on some maps. None of these trails is individually very long, so we will hike a few permutations and loops until we get in 4-5 miles. The hike will be moderately strenuous. **Where We'll Meet** Drive to the rearmost picnic area at the back of the park. There's a latrine here, but there's no water fountain here or anywhere else at Chestnut Ridge. I strongly recommend you bring some water of your own, at least for after the hike. Cell service at the park is spotty, although your GPS will get you there just fine. The map pin I've provided here is exactly where we'll be meeting and should be able to be used directly in Google Maps, although Chestnut Ridge isn't big and you're unlikely to get lost here. **After the Hike** Afterward, we'll head over to [BrewDog DogTap](https://drink.brewdog.com/usa/brewdog-dogtap-columbus) for [drinks](https://usa.brewdog.com/pages/brewdog-lineup) and [food](https://usa.brewdog.com/cdn/shop/files/DogTap_Menu_2025_65e1ff8b-97d4-4f26-80f1-68321d482025.pdf?v=17356939232910340498). They also have an outdoor area that's extremely popular. I've had their burgers and their pizza, and I think they're both very good. I also really like their [Cold Beer](https://usa.brewdog.com/products/cold-beer-2024) (that's its actual name), which is their American light lager. BrewDog's actual address is [96 Gender Rd, Canal Winchester, OH 43110](https://www.google.com/maps/place/96+Gender+Rd,+Canal+Winchester,+OH+43110/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88387c06afa21a85:0x804c611d373d8c54?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and they have a large, free parking lot. We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
