Health & Wellness: Join Local Wellbeing Groups on Meetup

Open Barn Days are group tours where we open the Sanctuary to the public, allowing you to visit and get to know the animals on a personal level. Admission prices are Adult (18+) Admission $10, Youth (4-17) Admission $5, and Children 3 and under are free. All funds raised go directly toward caring for the approximately 140 precious souls that call Sunrise home. We are a volunteer run vegan Sanctuary and the funds raised are crucial to providing vet care, feed, and housing. We do limit attendance at these events to help ensure a safe and enjoyable interaction with the animal family. Because of this, we do require that tickets be purchased in advance.

Hosted by Bryn Du Mansion - Free to attend "Plants as Medicine" - **A Grounded Introduction to Herbalism for Modern Life** Interest in natural approaches to health has rarely been greater, yet for many people, knowing where to begin—and what information to trust—can feel increasingly difficult. Plants as Medicine offers an inviting, thoughtful introduction to the world of herbalism, exploring how traditional plant knowledge, modern science, and direct sensory experience can come together in a practical way. Herbalist and author Brandon Elijah Scott will use a small selection of familiar medicinal plants to illuminate how herbs work through their chemistry, taste, aroma, preparation, and interaction with the human body, while offering a glimpse into the much larger world of plant medicine. Guests will have opportunities to see, smell, taste, and experience selected herbs while asking questions in an approachable, conversational setting. This special Life Local program also introduces a new chapter of botanical education at Bryn Du, where Brandon will be offering future classes and focused series in practical herbalism, medicinal plants, botanical arts, aromatics, gardening, and the many ways plants can become part of everyday life. Time & Location Nov 10, 2026, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM Bryn Du Mansion, 537 Jones Rd NE, Granville, OH 43023 **About Brandon** Brandon Elijah Scott is a clinical herbalist, author, educator, and botanical formulator carrying forward a family tradition of plant medicine spanning more than 10 generations.

The holidays can bring so much joy and connection—but they can also bring extra demands, social expectations, disrupted routines, and a whole lot of doing. This month, we'll share our experiences navigating the holidays: What challenges have we faced in the past? What helped us through them? And what challenges are we facing now? Together, we'll exchange practical tips, share what's worked for us, and brainstorm ideas to help make the upcoming holiday season feel a little more manageable, peaceful, and enjoyable. You don't need to have all the answers or bring anything prepared. Come ready to share, listen, learn from one another, and remember that we're not alone in figuring it all out. ❤️ Come exactly as you are. Pause. Breathe. Belong.

This is a free, in person meeting. 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.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

🎬💥 Simply Living Film Series + Special Guest Panel! Join Us for BOMBSHELL! History doesn't just shape our past—it shapes the conversations we're having today! Join Simply Living's Film Series at Gateway Film Center for a special screening of BOMBSHELL, a compelling documentary exploring how the story of the atomic bomb was presented to the public—and the courageous journalists who challenged official narratives and worked to uncover the human cost, even as government censorship limited what could be reported. From local conversations to national headlines and global events, the film raises questions that resonate today: Who shapes the stories we hear? Whose voices are missing? And why does independent journalism matter in a world of competing narratives? ✨ Stay for a special panel discussion featuring director Ben Loeterman, producer Gaia de Simoni, and historian Felecia Ross, moderated by Spencer Hunt, Director of Student Media for The Lantern at Ohio State. Come for the film, stay for the conversation, and discover how lessons from history can deepen our understanding of today's world. 📍 Gateway Film Center \| Columbus\, OH 📅 October 26 \| 6:30–8:30 PM \(Doors open at 6:15 PM\) 🎟️ Tickets $10 (purchase at Gateway link below) https://gatewayfilmcenter.org/movies/bombshell/ Bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and join the conversation! #SimplyLiving #BOMBSHELL #GatewayFilmCenter #ColumbusEvents #IndependentJournalism

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

Relationships can be uplifting — but they can also be confusing, stressful, or even painful. When someone you care about hurts you, it affects your emotions, your confidence, and your ability to trust. This seminar-style meetup is designed to help you understand *why* this happens and *what you can do about it.* What we'll cover: ### • Why relationships sometimes bring pain instead of support • How to recognize unhealthy behavior — and protect your own well-being • How to communicate your needs more clearly ### This is a friendly, respectful space where you can relax, learn, and talk if you want — or simply listen. You’ll leave with simple emotional tools that help you understand people better, handle difficult situations, and strengthen the relationships that truly matter. This group is created by the **Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.**
