Addiction

Join us every Wednesday evening for an Introduction to Meditation! We meet up to do a guided Buddhist meditation together. Before the meditation starts, there will be a short talk to introduce and explain who we are and how the meditation works. If you are new to Buddhism or meditation, it is an ideal place to start. All are welcome to attend. There is no charge for coming along. Hope to see you there! Note: We meet in the G/F lobby at 7.00pm.

**No judgment. No talking. Just one collective roar.** Life in Hong Kong is fast, loud, and often overwhelming. We carry stress in our bodies, and sometimes, a deep breath just isn't enough. You’ve probably felt the urge to scream into the void—well, here is your void, and you won't be alone in it. **🕒 The Game Plan** What's gonna happen? We keep it simple. We are here to release. **1\. Turn Up:** More details [here](https://www.instagram.com/harbourhowlhk?igsh=NXU0OWltNGhjaGRj&utm_source=qr) **2\. The Count:** On the count of three, we scream as a group. **3\. The Echo:** We repeat as needed until the air feels lighter. ### 🤫 The No-Pressure Promise * **No Sharing:** We will **not** go around in a circle to share our "feelings" or why we are there. * **No Small Talk:** You can arrive, scream, and leave without saying a single word to anyone. * **Total Unity:** If you've been hesitant because you're afraid of being judged or looking "crazy," remember: **everyone else is doing it too.** You aren't the outlier; you're part of the howl. * *Please participate at your own comfort level. This is a wellness activity, not a substitute for professional mental health services.*

Let’s meet up with some new friends!

有時候，會想找陌生人談談，可以是工作、家庭、情感，互為樹洞，互相取暖。 認識一個人，聽一個故事。

Back after a 2 month long break! It's been nearly a year since the last Sheung Wan pub crawl. Trying out a different venue this time. We will start at 7:00 from **RichKat Craft Brewing** [G/F, 238 Hollywood Rd, Sheung Wan](http://[https//www.google.com.hk/maps/place/RichKat+Craft+Brewing+%5D(https://www.google.com.hk/maps/place/RichKat+Craft+Brewing+)(Hollywood+Road)/@22.2858771,114.1446315,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x340401811e3ca445:0x60fad73c831763dd!8m2!3d22.2858771!4d114.1472064!16s%2Fg%2F11w4q226k_?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDgyOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) This is the only place with food available. There are several food venues in the area as well if that's what you prefer. Please note that RichKat has several locations, be sure you are coming to the Sheung Wan location! At around 8:30pm we will go to **Craftissmo** [Tai Ping Building, Shop D, G/F, 22-24A Tai Ping Shan St, Sheung Wan](https://www.google.com.hk/maps/place/CRAFTISSIMO+Sheung+Wan/@22.2846225,114.1434137,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x3404007eca507b89:0xac46e80915652061!8m2!3d22.2846226!4d114.1482846!16s%2Fg%2F11bwf7w122?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDgyOC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) This is a bottle shop and not a bar, but there is an really nice area just outside where we can loiter and drink. At 10pm we will finish at Out of the Brew [3 Shin Hing St, Central](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Out+Of+The+Brew/@22.2840462,114.149657,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x340401592c06d881:0x8eef2de1032272ea!8m2!3d22.2840462!4d114.1522319!16s%2Fg%2F11nn0676k5?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQyMi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) First time we are coming here for a crawl. A bit of a walk from Craftissmo, they have good beer on tap and a decent selection in the fridge. And a nice area outside just for sitting around and drink. Everyone will have individual bills. Credit cards accepted at all locations. Feel free to buy food from elsewhere in the area and bring it to the venue with the exception of RichKat. It would be bad manners to bring in outside food. As per usual I will be wearing a [Snoo](https://www.reddit.com/r/plushies/comments/12pzy79/did_you_know_theres_a_snoo_plush/#lightbox) so I will be easy to spot. The weather this week is not too stable so please dress appropriately. For people attending, please send me your whatsapp number so I can put you into the super secret elite whatsapp group. Finally, if you have a good time please leave a good review for our venues. Good venues are closing left and right in HK and they need all the help they can get.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

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. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

In the midst of life’s storms—whether in relationships, work, or within ourselves—it can be difficult to find clarity and calm. The “I” Of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace, based on the work of Dr. Gary Simmons, invites you to discover the steady center within—the part of you that remains grounded even when everything around you is in motion. Led by Brian Drafton-Griffin, this engaging workshop offers practical tools and meaningful insights to help you navigate conflict with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence. Through guided discussion and reflection, you’ll learn how to shift from reaction to response and transform challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.

From birth, human beings are learning. Before we are able to hold concrete memories, we are being shaped and impacted by everything about our lives and situations. From the point that we become capable of cognizant thought and memory, our lives could be summed up as a series of our responses to our circumstances, whether for good or for ill. Dr. Joe Dispenza sees a deep need for human beings to live *on purpose*. Rather than just living life in reaction mode, he challenges people to live intentionally, to seek to change the negative that we have encountered and to pursue the positive through purposeful steps in a different and healthy direction. His study and work seek to demonstrate the changes that can be made from the inside out. Join us as we take a look at new ways to grow at **6:30 pm,** **Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**.
