Humans have been thinking critically about religion for at least thousands of years. Theories, themes and thinkers come and go - and then often pop up again in new and unexpected ways. In this new presentation Mike Stone will show how different theories of religion have influenced each other, and certain themes and thinkers resurface. The session will also outline current thinking on why the majority of people on our planet consider themselves to be religious. This session will be led by Mike Stone. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever to share. **Our events fill up very quickly.

**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.** Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè! Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu. Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol. **ON ENS TROBEM?** Café de l'Opera (NOMES 3 ABRIL!) **QUAN ENS TROBEM** Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45 Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment **QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM** Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana **QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS** A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic:[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_metho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method)d. Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi **QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS** Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors \- Per quins ideals val la pena morir \- Per què mai estem satisfets \- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual \- És necessària la identitat \- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia \- Què és la postveritat \- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\- Què és l'amistat **QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP** Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós

DIGIT arriba a Barcelona amb una tarda-vespre a La Clandestina, pensada com a espai de trobada, escolta i intercanvi entre escenes. DIGIT és un microfestival íntim de música i arts digitals que se celebrarà del 21 al 23 d’agost al Camp de Tarragona, amb centre neuràlgic a Pratdip, en un entorn de bosc i muntanya. Aquesta activitat vol ser una primera aproximació al seu univers a la ciutat. La jornada començarà amb el duo .apart (Javi i Alex / ameeva), que presentaran en format workshop el procés creatiu d’una peça o instal·lació sonora multicanal que estan desenvolupant per al festival: una oportunitat per compartir metodologies, intuïcions i obrir un espai d’escolta i diàleg amb el públic.ç Després, la jornada es traslladarà a la terrassa amb dj sets d’Espacio Vacío (Colectivo Simulacro) i Imox & Garber (Subradio), que acompanyaran l’ambient amb una selecció que es mourà entre l’escolta, l’eclecticisme, el downtempo o el ball, generant un espai distès per connectar, conversar o simplement deixar-se portar per la música. Un esdeveniment obert a tothom i proper per donar a conèixer el projecte a Barcelona, mantenint l’esperit comunitari, sensible i col·laboratiu que comparteix amb La Clandestina. *** INFO sobre el festival: [https://digit.cat/](https://digit.cat/) INSTAGRAM: [https://www.instagram.com/digit_cat/](https://www.instagram.com/digit_cat/) TICKETS: [https://digit.cat/esp/tickets-2026-es/](https://digit.cat/esp/tickets-2026-es/) *** Artistes: .apart – [https://www.instagram.com/apartlabel_/](https://www.instagram.com/apartlabel_/) Són: Javi – [https://www.instagram.com/_javi.apart/](https://www.instagram.com/_javi.apart/) Alex (ameeva) – [https://gestoslents.com](https://gestoslents.com/) & [https://www.instagram.com/_ameeva/](https://www.instagram.com/_ameeva/) *** Espacio Vacío són: Juan Bartolomé – [https://www.instagram.com/juan.bartoc/](https://www.instagram.com/juan.bartoc/) Carlos Morales – [https://www.instagram.com/carlos__mp/](https://www.instagram.com/carlos__mp/) \*\* Colectivo Simulacro – [https://www.instagram.com/simulacro.colectivo/](https://www.instagram.com/simulacro.colectivo/) *** Imox – [https://www.instagram.com/imox_x/](https://www.instagram.com/imox_x/) Garber – [https://www.instagram.com/pablogarber/](https://www.instagram.com/pablogarber/) \*\* SubRadio – [https://www.instagram.com/sub.radio](https://www.instagram.com/sub.radio/) *** ### 📅 Información práctica 📍 La Clandestina (Poblenou, Barcelona) 🗓 viernes 22 de mayo ⏰ De 18:00 h a 23:00 h TICKETS: [https://digit.cat/esp/tickets-2026-es/](https://digit.cat/esp/tickets-2026-es/)

[Únete a nuestro grupo de Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DUg0NDBb4IhG50CVm9gDiW?mode=gi_t) # 👉 *Un espacio para salir del piloto automático social* A lo largo del tiempo, muchas personas no pierden su vida social… pero sí la sensación de novedad dentro de ella. **“Reinicio social”** parte de esa idea: la vida social puede volverse funcional, estable, incluso correcta… pero dejar de sorprender emocionalmente. Este evento crea un contexto donde se interrumpe ese piloto automático y se abre un entorno social distinto al habitual. *** 🧠 ¿Qué ocurre aquí? * Personas que no se conocen entran en un entorno estructurado * La dinámica está diseñada para salir de patrones sociales repetidos * Se generan interacciones que no siguen el guion habitual de lo social cotidiano * El foco no está en “encajar”, sino en experimentar una forma distinta de relacionarse en grupo *** 💬 ¿Para quién es? Para personas que: * Sienten que su vida social es estable pero poco estimulante * Notan que siempre acaban en los mismos tipos de planes o conversaciones * Quieren romper la inercia social sin tener que “empezar de cero” * Buscan entornos donde no haya roles sociales rígidos *** 🚫 No es un evento de entretenimiento superficial No es una fiesta, no es una actividad de ocio típica, no es una dinámica caótica. Es un entorno diseñado para alterar la forma habitual en la que las personas se relacionan en grupo. *** 🎯 Qué te llevas * Una sensación de salir de la rutina social automática * Interacciones con personas nuevas en un entorno estructurado * Una experiencia distinta a los planes sociales habituales * Un cambio de perspectiva sobre cómo se generan los vínculos en grupo *** ✨ INFO IMPORTANTE 🆕 Participantes nuevos en cada edición 💶 Entrada: 5€ en efectivo 🎁 Sorteo de regalo al final del evento 🎲 *** ##

PARK LOCATION: WE WILL BE SEATED EXACTLY TO THE LEFT OF THE PARLAMENT BUILDING ON THE GRASSY LAWN. Here you can see the exact spot on map: [Link to location](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KnWdQCe9W8ANupwt5) Do you have a hunger for a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then you will enjoy this event. We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. WHAT TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: What ideals are worth dying for? Why are we never satisfied? Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? Is identity necessary? How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) What is friendship? EVERYONE AND ANYONE IS WELCOME The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world. To learn more, visit https://socratescafe.com.

Link oficial: https://luma.com/3tg5s7lo # 4ta Encuentro: Edición Solar ​Cerramos esta serie de encuentros con nuestra cuarta edición del Colectivo Farina: **Adaptation**. En esta ocasión, junto a los amigos de **Slow Lab**, desplazamos nuestra mirada de la instrumentación técnica hacia la **sincronización con el entorno**, explorando el clima (en este caso el sol) como nuestro principal ingrediente. ​Nos trasladamos al huerto urbano de **[Green City Lab](https://greencitylab.org/?utm_source=luma)** para habitar un espacio de experimentación donde la **cocina solar** será el eje central. Reflexionaremos sobre cómo adaptarnos a un futuro más resiliente mediante el uso de energías alternativas, desafiando la inmediatez industrial para aprender a "cosechar" el calor. En esta edición, el sol y el tiempo dictarán el ritmo de la mesa, transformando el acto de cocinar en un ejercicio de soberanía, paciencia y coexistencia con los ciclos naturales. # ​¿Qué es ***Colectivo Farina?*** ​Un espacio para experimentar, degustar y cocinar colectivamente, creado por **[bifaz](https://www.instagram.com/bifazworks/?utm_source=luma).** ## ​**¿Para qué?** ​Colectivo Farina busca **reconectar con los ingredientes y retomar técnicas olvidadas** de la cocina, reduciendo artilugios y poniendo el foco en lo **manual**, lo **artesanal** e incluso lo **ancestral**. Todo desde una práctica **compartida y participativa,** donde cocinar vuelve a ser un acto colectivo, más que una ejecución individual. Desde bifaz, creemos que el comer del futuro no solo va tanto del qué cocinaremos sino del cómo y con quién, poniendo el foco en la cocina como **acto de comunidad y resistencia a la vida acelerada** que llevamos. ## ​**¿De qué va?** ​Este proyecto se compone de **encuentros culinarios** que parten de un concepto transversal (que irá variando en cada edición) con el objetivo de **reflexionar** sobre la **sostenibilidad, la cultura y el futuro** de nuestras prácticas culinarias. Todo esto se lleva a una actividad de **cocina colectiva**, donde el resultado final será, en su mayoría (pero no limitado a) pasta, usada aquí como formato versátil, accesible y profundamente comunitario. ## ​¿Por qué *Farina*? ​Del latín farīna, “harina” o “polvo fino de grano”, un ingrediente base de innumerables culturas desde el inicio de los tiempos. Económica, cotidiana y sustanciosa, la harina representa la sencillez en su máximo esplendor. Y de eso va este proyecto: de **volver a lo esencial**. De cocinar desde lo básico, sin artificios, donde **la pasta, será nuestro vehículo principal**, no por técnica, sino por lo que simboliza: unión, manualidad y un punto de partida común. ## ​Lo que NO es ​No es una cena clandestina. ​No es un taller de pasta. ​No es un restaurante. ​Aquí **tod@s somos cocineros** y nadie queda por fuera. No hay protagonismos ni jerarquías: el resultado es siempre el producto de todas nuestras manos y todas nuestras mentes. # ​A tener en cuenta: ​- La inscripción es gratuita y la entrada incluye acceso a la experiencia, la comida que cocinemos y pica-pica. Se pedirá una **aportación fija de 10€** para cubrir ingredientes y para apoyar el proyecto de huerto urbano **[Green City Lab.](https://greencitylab.org/?utm_source=luma)** \- El menú será apto para **vegetarianos y veganos**. En caso de haber alguna alergia comunicarla de antemano a **[guillermondelli@gmail.com.](http://guillermondelli@gmail.com./?utm_source=luma)** \- El encuentro será **kid y pet friendly**. ## ​Organizado por @bifaz.worksAcerca de Bifaz ​***Un atelier especulativo para el comer compartido*** Bifaz explora las interconexiones entre el **alimento, el oficio y la comunidad** a través de **experiencias, objetos, conocimiento abierto y diseño participativo.** Nuestro foco es construir maneras de vivir y hacer más conectadas y autosuficientes mediante prácticas cotidianas como **cocinar, compartir y crear,** retando nuestros conceptos de **conveniencia** con encuentros que priorizan la **convivialidad, la temporalidad y la circularidad** dentro de lo que significa ser **humanos**. [@bifaz.works](https://www.instagram.com/bifazworks/?utm_source=luma) ## ​Acerca de SlowLab ​***En la intersección entre el slow movement y low tech.*** ​**SlowLab** es un colectivo de diseñadores, makers y arquitectos que busca crear conciencia y promover **modos de vida resilientes.** Organizan **eventos sociales y crean artefactos** para abrir conversaciones alrededor de cómo integrar técnicas ancestrales a nuestro contexto actual. Cuestionan y rediseñan las herramientas que utilizamos en nuestra vida cotidiana para depender menos de la alta tecnología.

🌌 Sincronicidad: ciencia, conciencia y coincidencias con sentido ¿Casualidad… o existe un orden más profundo en la realidad? En este encuentro exploraremos la sincronicidad desde una mirada rigurosa y accesible: con las teorías de personajes conocidos como, Carl Jung, Pauli, David Bohm, David Peat y las investigaciones modernas sobre percepción extrasensorial, campos de información y conexiones acausales. Descubriremos cómo la ciencia contemporánea se ha acercado a uno de los grandes misterios humanos: esas coincidencias significativas que parecen unir mente y mundo. Pero también veremos algo esencial: la sincronicidad no es solo teoría ni algo extraordinario. Todos vivimos este fenómeno constantemente, en pequeños detalles cotidianos, intuiciones, encuentros inesperados y señales que aparecen cuando aprendemos a observar. Una conferencia profunda, clara y abierta a todos los públicos, donde ciencia y experiencia cotidiana se encuentran para aclararnos el porqué de estas manifestaciones tan sorprendentes y tan comunes al mismo tiempo y qué quieren mostrarnos. 👤 Facilitadora: Helena Amando 📅 Sábado 23 de mayo 🕔 17:00 a 19:00 h 📍 Sala Amaltea Carrer Diputació, 164 · Barcelona ✨ Ven a descubrir si el universo habla… y cómo reconocer su lenguaje. Este evento se anuncia en otros sitios por lo que los asistentes que ves aquí puede que no coincida con el aforo real, así que reserva tu lugar por aquí y asegura tu plaza. Se pedirá una colaboración de 5 euros para gastos de sala y organización Preferiblemente en efectivo! Gracias !

Organitzat pel Departament de Joventut de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona, amb la col·laboració d’Eix Fort Pienc i la participació de nombroses entitats frikis de la ciutat, l’esdeveniment omplirà el passeig d’activitats de 12 a 20 h amb un ambient festiu, creatiu i carregat de referències a la cultura pop, el manga, l’anime, la fantasia, els jocs de rol i de taula, el cosplay i molt més.

Amb el suport d’entitats com StarFans, Eix Jove, SoftCombat Barcelona i moltes altres, el Dia de l’Orgull Friki és molt més que una festa: és un homenatge a la cultura friki com a espai de creativitat, comunitat i expressió lliure. 🎭 Fort Pienc Escena Friki: el nostre escenari friki Des d’Eix Fort Pienc estem encantats de participar en aquesta cita imprescindible amb una edició especial del nostre festival d’arts escèniques: Fort Pienc Escena Friki, la versió temàtica del ja consolidat Fort Pienc Escènik, que organitzem des de 2017. A la tarda dinamitzarem l’escenari principal amb una programació vibrant, plena de creativitat jove i talent local: Siguis mag, Jedi, otaku o aventurer galàctic… aquest diumenge el teu lloc és aquí. Vine amb el teu cosplay, el teu lightsaber o amb la teva passió friki i gaudeix d’un dia èpic al cor de Barcelona! T’hi esperem amb música, dansa, espectacles i una comunitat carregada de creativitat i bon rotllo. *** **[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)** El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments. Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen. A la tarda, es queda(a vegades) un petit grup, però no es pot garantir la seva presència fins a les 18h, sobretot a l'hivern.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD

For the last 5 years, Central Ohio Friends and Columbus Social Connection have teamed up for some incredible nights out and some of the biggest social events in Columbus with our biggest combined event bringing out 80+ people. ⚠️ Please only RSVP through ONE group to help keep headcount accurate. Now we’re celebrating where it all started. On Friday, May 22, we’ll be joining Central Ohio Friends 🍻 **Starting at** Brothers Bar & Grill in the Arena District the same place their very first event was held back in 2021. Whether you’ve been to one of our events before or **have been waiting for the right one to come out to,** this is a great one to jump into. Stop scrolling. Start doing stuff. If you find value in these events consider contributing Link can be found in comments!

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, 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 due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "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. 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. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
