NOTE: Zoom now requires a passcode for our meetings. If you connect using the old link, it will ask you to enter the passcode, which is just the number 1. Or you can use the new link below and you should be able to connect without entering a passcode as before. Stuck at home during the pandemic and at least somewhat proficient in spoken Spanish? Come join us online for a couple of hours (or as long as you like) chatting in Spanish over the internet for free! TO CONNECT WITH A COMPUTER, TABLET, OR SMART PHONE: Simply click this link (always the same link every meetup if you want to bookmark it): [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/369401889?pwd=SFNmQUIvT0tRaHlDaVYrN3l5bzJVQT09](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/369401889?pwd=SFNmQUIvT0tRaHlDaVYrN3l5bzJVQT09) We're using Zoom, a free online video conference service. Clicking that link should quickly and automatically download and install the software you need (if you don't already have it), and then connect you to the meeting. If that link doesn't install the software you need, the free app in the Apple App Store and Google Play is called ZOOM: Cloud Meetings. You shouldn't need a Zoom account to connect, but if you do create one, you only need the free Basic account. I've got the Pro account that lets us meet as long as we like. You do need a computer or tablet with a microphone and speaker, of course, to hear the conversation and participate. You don't have to have a camera, and you don't have to turn it on if you do have one. That said, I recommend enabling video, it helps make the connection more personal, with facial expressions and body language to help with understanding. 😊 We're using Zoom's breakout room feature in our online meetups. This means we can have multiple conversations going on at the same time in separate virtual "rooms" and give everyone more opportunity to participate. When you connect to the meeting, you'll be in the main session room, and I'll assign your breakout room as "Breakout Room 1". This will open a window giving you the option to join that room right away or to wait until later and instead remain in the main session. From then on you're free go back and forth between the rooms as you like, by joining the breakout room or leaving it to go back to the main session. TO CONNECT OVER TELEPHONE: Have this meeting ID ready: 369 401 889 Call any one of Zoom's US phone numbers: 669 900 9128 346 248 7799 646 558 8656 253 215 8782 301 715 8592 312 626 6799 Type the meeting ID on your phone keypad and press #: 369 401 889 # Press # again when it asks for your participant ID. Press 1 and then # when it asks for the passcode. You should now be connected to the meeting. NO MATTER HOW YOU'RE CONNECTING: You can drop in or out at any time during the conversation, and RSVPing on Meetup is nice to do, but not required. I'll actually have the meeting up and running starting around 6:45pm, so you can try connecting ahead of time and figure out any technical problems. I most likely won't be paying attention to the meeting until 7pm, though. So if you find you do need help, please feel free to comment on this meetup or message me directly. Finally, please try to connect from a quiet location without any background noise like television or music. Zoom uses sound to determine who is talking to show the speaker's video prominently, so background noise will confuse that feature and make it hard to follow the conversation. If you can't find a quiet location, please use a headset to keep the noise from affecting the meetup. A cheap $20 headset should work fine. You can find them on Amazon ([https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Headsets/b?ie=UTF8&node=3015405011](https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Headsets/b?ie=UTF8&node=3015405011)) and in most stores that sell computers and accessories. Make sure the one you get can connect to the type of computer or tablet you're using. If you are connecting via telephone, please do not use speakerphone if there is background noise. Stay safe and well, everyone! Looking forward to chatting with you soon!

This is a flat rate of £70 per month for unlimited sessions if paid monthly in advance. Pay What Works: The price shown above is the “true” value of the session that best reflects the work I put into preparing and leading your session. However, I understand that not everyone can afford to pay full price, and I don’t want that to stop you from joining us. In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I provide in creating and delivering these classes. You tell me what you would like to pay: For your new payment, please let me know if you are happy to pay full price, or if you would like a reduction Please send an email to ailien@fitandhappyoutdoors.com with the heading “INVOICE please”- followed by “FAHO 1” to pay full price as quoted below, “FAHO 2”, for 20% off, or “FAHO 3” for 50% off. And please tell me if you want to pay for 10 sessions, or if you’d like to pay monthly. I prefer payment by bank transfer. At the moment I do not accept cheques.

Click on the below link and follow the steps to join. You can join from a computer, phone or tablet, computer has best audio usually. See tips below. To join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/342195107?pwd=sDziLcXI-KlmCcnAc3cRWA Meeting ID: 342 195 107 Password: musicmaker A lovely session of music and song in a relaxed and supportive environment. All levels of musician and singer welcome. You can come and sing or play one song or just come and listen to the other members. Great way to build up your playing skills and build up your confidence. To maintain our zoom and music maker accounts we request a €2 contribution. It is difficult to collect money for the online events so we are suggesting that if possible we could use revolut to transfer the €2 if you don't have an account I'm sure you know someone who could do the transaction for you. The host will identify the Revolut number on the night. If you don't have access to revolut it doesn't matter we will look at some other way to collect the €2 euro. Zoom is not optimized for music, but we have tested it and think it's decent enough for a get together in the absence of a face to face meeting. Voice is better than instrument. Zoom is pretty simple to get into and use. You don't need an account but if you want to test it out beforehand, you can get a free one by searching for it where you get your apps or downloading it on the web. A few simple guidelines to ensure it runs smoothly. 1. Stay on mute while someone else is playing or singing. You can join in ONLY if you are on mute, because the delay over the internet does not allow simultaneous playing online. 2. When you are playing, stay as close to your device's microphone as possible for best results. 3. There are two views - Gallery view and Active Speaker view. Active speaker will put the video on the person singing, Gallery view will show everyone. You may have to search a bit to find each view, it is different on each device. 4. You can mute your audio and/or your video. The host reserves the right to mute anyone whose line is causing audio interference. 5. There is an interesting option to record yourself first and then share it - the quality will be better. In Zoom there's an icon called "Share Content", if you click that you get the option to share files on you Google Drive etc. I've just tried it out and it allows you to throw up pre-recorded audio and/or video files. These replace your video picture while they play. When they finish just hit the share content icon again and your video image comes back. So this might be an option for anyone to pre-recrord (good quality), load onto Google Drive, join a Zoom session and, when it comes to their turn, introduce their song and share the pre-recorded song from G Drive. 6. As mentioned above, Zoom is optimised for voice rather than music so it actually tries to filter out music thinking that it's background noise but that filter can be disabled but only on Windows and macOS as follows: On the Zoom Home page on you laptop: Click on 'Settings' (top right) Then click on 'Audio' (left pane) Then click 'Advanced' (bottom right) Then tick the box at the top of the screen 'Show in-meeting option to "Enable Original Sound" from microphones' Then, when you're on a call, a toggle switch appears at the top left of your screen "Turn on Original Sound". Click that - it changes to "Turn off Original Sound" and you're done. Preferred setup for anyone with an instrument might thus be: 1) Windows or macOS 2) Turn on Original Sound 3) Direct connect to router (rather than Wi-Fi) Even better if you have a microphone connected via an audio interface device to your laptop/PC. 7. Don't forget your drink!

We live in a very exciting time, where as believing Christians we can "step up" from simply participating in Community Worship to being "hands on" disciples, Servants, helping to spread the Good News, and use our God-given gifts and talents to extend the Kingdom. If you feel called to Ministry, or if you're a Minister who would like to take things further in your growth this would be an excellent group to consider being a part of. The focus is Christ-centered, Biblically-based and incorporates teachings from an Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant/Reformation perspective. There is a interview process to join the group. Please contact Bishop Lisa the group moderator for more information. Each week we will explore a new topic in regards to Christian Ministry. Please come with your Bible (or Bible software) and dress comfortably. We'll be discussing, praying, reading together. If you're new please contact us to go through a brief interview.

Welcome new members, Due to Covid, we are meeting online every Thursday evening at 06:30 pm through Zoom. The Zoom link is provided below. Our format is friendly and open to players of any level. We take turns playing songs in a solo manner. Because of the lag inherent with playing online, only one person plays at a time while the others mute their microphones to avoid back ground noise.

We are not alone! Come listen, learn, and share at this weekly ***WOMEN ONLY*** presentation by Women's Declaration International (formerly Women's Human Rights Campaign). Join this sorority of radical feminists from around the world as they inform us about the challenges and struggles in their own countries. Chat with other attendees and put questions to the panelists. Following the presentation, you are invited to join breakout rooms (women only please) with the panelists. These weekly online webinars present a new panel each week from around the world, often reporting on a central theme. They are attended by a global feminist and activist community of between 250-350. The main focus is how gender ideology is harming the rights of women and girls. The speaker list and any particular theme is usually announced mid-week before the webinar. Information will be added here as it becomes available.

Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights: Summary [https://www.womensdeclaration.com/en/declaration-womens-sex-based-rights-summary/](https://www.womensdeclaration.com/en/declaration-womens-sex-based-rights-summary/) *** The legal adoption of "gender identity" politics is fraught with unintended consequences. A clear example has unfolded in New York where a self-described "trans-woman lesbian" (a hetero man in a dress) has used gender-neutral language amendments to supplant women in elected offices that had been specifically reserved for females. The arrangement of "1 man + 1 woman" had been put in place to ensure women's fair representation in an arena from which they have been historically underrepresented or excluded: [https://thevelvetchronicle.com/exclusive-decaudin-preps-for-election-recount-after-unofficially-taking-2-female-seats-new-details-uncovered/](https://thevelvetchronicle.com/exclusive-decaudin-preps-for-election-recount-after-unofficially-taking-2-female-seats-new-details-uncovered/) Women's Liberation Front: "New York Democrats have decided to insult women by pretending in public that state committee member Emilia Decaudin is literally female..."

SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/mobile ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Breathwork is a safe and powerful healing technique that is initiated by the power of the breath, combined with music and mantras. By breathing in a circular rhythm, you can reach altered states of consciousness to release emotional traumas, pain and negative emotions stored in the body and the subconscious, making room for more love and joy to enter your life. Learning how to enhance your breathing can also help with many health challenges such as: anxiety, asthma, depression, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, poor digestion, high blood pressure, panic attacks, muscle tension, and attention deficit disorder. Proper breathing can aid in the removal of energetic blockages, thereby enhancing the healing of long-term health conditions. Additional benefits of Breathwork include releasing of toxins at a cellular level, balancing the nervous system and release of cellular memory of past emotional trauma and negative mental patterns. Lower abdominal breathing is the natural forgotten state of breathing from childhood. It energizes us, increases the rate of prana, Qi or life force energy moving through us. You can experience higher energy levels, more relaxation and patience, faster healing, a stronger body, and a sharper mind. Benefits & Experiences: • Your physical body will be oxygenated, balanced, revitalized • Your mental body will be healed by the release of negative thoughts, beliefs, and mental patterns • Your emotional body will release layers of emotional pain and trauma • Opened awareness to deeper states of consciousness and intuition • Connect with spiritual wisdom, guides and angels • Reaching deeper states of bliss and peace • Connection and healing with loved ones that have passed • Reveal profound feelings of love and gratitude • Remove stress, muscle tension, and toxins from your body • Balancing the nervous system, renewing a sense of calm • Release cellular memory of Consider this meditation practice a door that accesses your higher self, that strengthens that connection to the real YOU. The experience will deepen and expand with continued use. No experience necessary. @@@@@@@------------------@@@@@@@ Join us on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/OrlandoBreathwork FACTS: • 70-80% of diseases are emotional in nature. • Intense negative thoughts affect our emotions. • Intense negative emotions affect our physical body. • Negative thoughts carry to our cells and these cells retain memories (see Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. on the biology of cells). • Most people access less than 30% of their full breathing capacity, leaving their cells starved for oxygen. Improper or shallow breathing can cause or worsen illness. (Many doctors now believe lack of oxygen in the cells is the root cause of cancer).

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
