Are you looking to try out ceramics or up-skill your existing knowledge? Look no further! This workshop is standalone or you can book a block of 4 that need not be consecutive. It takes place in a very spacious and bright studio and you are welcomed to come with your own ideas or simply follow along and let your creativity blossom during the mindful 3 hours of making. The main technique used during the session is hand-building giving you the option to create functional ware or small sculptural work. Beginners will be guided through the process using techniques such as slab building, coiling, pinching, texturing and surface decoration. The more advanced will be free to create and those with experience throwing would be welcomed to use the wheel which would need to be reserved in advance. Those of you who would like to learn about glazing would need to book 2 workshops. The workshops are mainly run in English but I do speak Catalan and Spanish. They also provide a great opportunity for non-native speakers to practice their English. They last 3 hours, materials and aprons are provided and your pieces will be fired and ready for pick up around 10 days after. Cost: 42€/person PayPal/40€ Bizum. Block of 4 workshops 150€

Movement. Connection.** ​Imagine stepping into a space where you feel free, alive, and fully yourself. ​Where the music awakens something deep inside you. ​Where every breath, every beat, every glance around the room pulls you closer into connection — with yourself, with others, with life. ​✨ This is Wildflow. ​A 4-hour healing journey designed to leave you clearer, more connected, and full of life. *** ## ​**🌿 The Journey** ​**1\. Connect — Heart Awakening** ​As the sun sets, we gather in ceremony with cacao. Intentions are set, hearts are opened, and breathwork guides us into presence. A sense of unity begins to grow. ​**2\. Dance — Rhythmic Flow** ​The music invites movement: organic, tribal, and ethnic sounds that evolve into deep electronic rhythms. No choreography, no expectations — only freedom. The dancefloor is alive, constantly transforming as the night deepens. ​**3\. Heal — Energetic Release** ​What begins in grounded presence swells into intensity. The beats rise, the energy expands, the dancefloor becomes a temple of release and raw expression. You’re invited to let go, to discover new layers of yourself in the rhythm. ​**4\. Integrate — Reflective Landing** ​As the music softens, the collective energy settles. The dancefloor shifts again — from primal fire to gentle grounding. You leave balanced, uplifted, and renewed. *** ## ​**💫 Why It’s Different** ​That moment of openness you usually chase with substances? ​At Wildflow, it happens naturally. ​Through breath, cacao, music, and trust, you find yourself dropping your guard, moving with abandon, and connecting in a way that feels real, alive, and lasting. ​No alcohol. No drugs. No muchrooms. Just presence, rhythm, and pure human energy. ​✨ Come alone or with friends — you’ll be welcomed into a safe space where connection happens naturally, and you won’t leave alone. *** ## ​**🎶 Your Invitation** ​Wildflow is not just a night out. ​It’s a dancefloor with intention — a space where your natural essence takes the lead. ​Join us, and remember how good it feels to be fully awake, fully alive, and fully connected. ## ​📸 Follow us on Instagram for exclusive sneak peeks! 👀✨ ​\*\*[https://www.instagram.com/wildflow.ofc](https://www.instagram.com/wildflow.ofc)\*\* *** ​**Meet the Hosts, DJs & Guest Artists** ## **​• Henk Schepens** ​*Entrepreneur, Trauma-informed Community Builder & Visionary DJ* ​*Instagram: [@henksky](https://www.instagram.com/henksky)* ​Henk’s journey of self-discovery and healing is deeply connected to the transformative power of music. Seeing its potential to unlock new levels of connection and growth, he is passionate about developing concepts that harness music’s healing energy. As a natural idea generator, Henk channels his experiences into meaningful projects that inspire and create space for exploration and self-awareness. ## **​• Jazmin Gattyan** ​Cacao Ceremony & Meditation Guide, Space Holder & Yoga Teacher *Instagram: [@jaz_happynest](https://www.instagram.com/jaz_happynest)* ​Jazmin works with ceremonial cacao as a sacred medicine for the heart—an ally that opens the doorway to presence, clarity, and authentic connection. Her ceremonies weave together cacao, guided meditation, and intentional ritual, creating a grounded space for reflection, release, and renewal. She invites participants to deepen their relationship with themselves, align with their inner wisdom, and connect with the collective energy of the group. Each ceremony is an invitation to return to balance, harmony, and heart-centered living. ## **​• DJ HNKS (Belgium)** ​*Instagram: [@hnks_music](https://www.instagram.com/hnks_music)* ​HNKS is a Belgian-born DJ with deep roots in Europe's electronic music heritage, HNKS has evolved into a globally recognized artist who brings his distinctive sound to dance floors worldwide. HNKS is known for blending innovative electronic music styles to drive the dance floor to new heights. ​• **Guest Artists** ​We’ll also invite special guest facilitators and artists , adding another layer of creativity and inspiration to the night. *** ​✨ **Tiered Pricing & Community Support** ​Every WildFlow gathering is more than just a dance floor — it’s an immersive journey we co-create together. To make this possible, we invest upfront in **the space, a high-end sound system, ceremonial cacao, fruits and water, and curated décor** that turns the venue into a living atmosphere. ​That’s why we offer a tiered pricing system: * ​**€25** — early commitment, helping us bring the experience to life from the very start. * ​**€30** — the next wave of tickets. * ​**€35** — final release online. * ​**€40** — at the door, for the last-minute decision makers. ​By reserving your spot early, you not only receive the best price, but you also support the artists, the production, and all the thoughtful details that make Wildflow unique. ​Your presence is more than a ticket — it’s a contribution to a new way of gathering, defined by creativity, connection, and the unifying power of music. 🔥🎟️ **TICKETS available exclusively via** **Luma** — ***[tap to access](https://luma.com/cxajxrbx?utm_source=meetup&utm_medium=eventplatform&utm_campaign=wildflow_jan)*** *** ​**Important Guidelines** ​1. **Substance-Free Space 🚫🍷** ​• We maintain a strictly substance-free environment to promote clarity, genuine connection, and collective well-being.

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** 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. Snacks to share are always welcome!

VEGAN MEALS: As previously mentioned, the food vendor does NOT have a vegan option at this year’s Oscar Party. However, we DO have a solution! I have reached out to several individuals who are affected. If you are a vegan, plan to attend the Oscar Party and did not receive an e-mail from me, please reach out via private message post a note below. I’ll provide details off-line. And while there won’t be a vegan meal option this year, I think we do have a workable solution. And, all other plans are usiness-as-usual: popcorn, sodas, candy, on-site paparazzi, decorations, bar drinks (including your first drink on the house), the Drexel’s Annual Oscar ballot contest, along with the Big Show on the Big Screen and a fun group of Movie Group friends to watch ‘em with!

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. 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 sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
