"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few." — Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind Do you remember the wonder of learning something for the very first time? The **Beginner's Mind** (Shoshin) is that state of open, eager, and unbiased curiosity—free from the assumptions, judgments, and expertise that can narrow our vision over time. In our pursuit of mastery, we often lose the very quality that makes learning magical. This Curious Souls Cafe is an invitation to rediscover that state. We'll explore how to gently set aside our inner "expert" to make room for fresh questions, unexpected connections, and genuine awe. This isn't about ignoring experience, but about learning to see with new eyes again: * How can a beginner's mindset transform a routine task? * How can "not knowing" improve our conversations? * How can curiosity be a guide through uncertainty? In addition, we'll also explore how this mindset differs from the uninformed overconfidence described by the [Dunning-Kruger effect](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect), focusing instead on the humble, active curiosity that fuels real growth. Join us to celebrate the courage and joy of being a perpetual beginner. Inviting all who are... 🌱 Feeling stuck in familiar patterns and seeking a fresh perspective. 🎨 Longing to reconnect with the pure joy of learning, just for its own sake. 🧠 Curious about how to quiet the inner critic or the "expert" voice that says, "I already know." 🤔 Navigating a life transition or new challenge and wanting to approach it with openness. ✨ Interested in how humility and curiosity can lead to deeper wisdom than certainty ever could. 📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience 💬 Icebreaker Conversation Cards (Round 1) We will use virtual question cards. Here are some sample questions. * What's something simple you learned or noticed recently that gave you a genuine sense of wonder or "beginner's mind"? * Describe a time when admitting "I don't know" led to a better outcome or a more interesting conversation. * What is a subject, skill, or activity you once felt excited about that now feels routine or burdensome? What changed? * The Dunning-Kruger effect suggests we need knowledge to see our own ignorance. How does this create a paradox for cultivating a "beginner's mind"? From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group. Note: This session may involve virtual question cards accessed via a link or QR code. If you do not have a device (phone/tablet) to access these, please ask a facilitator for assistance; we have spare units available. 💬 Spontaneous Reflective Question (Optional Round) After warming up, our diverse group of friends and strangers will come together in a circle to exchange ideas on an intriguing topic chosen spontaneously. We may either continue with questions from the round one, or write our own questions. Each participant is encouraged to contribute by sharing a unique question. You’re welcome to bring a question that’s been on your mind, or you can draw inspiration from the conversation cards provided. Once all the questions are collected, the group will collaboratively select one to kick off the discussion. 💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback Where time allows, in the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together. After the event officially concludes, the group may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. Of course, you’re welcome to leave at any time that feels right for you. An anonymized summary will be shared for sessions where key insights are identified. After the meeting, our facilitators and participants may reflect on the discussion and contribute to a summary or collaborative workbook based on their notes and observations. Additionally, questions may be revisited in future sessions in an anonymized manner.

"Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography." - **George Eastman**. Photography is painting with the light, say great photography masters. In this outing the focus would be on seeing the light in it’s different shades, colours and directions as we practice learning how to capture light as a subject, and how it impacts and transforms the images. You are encouraged to do some research on this theme and interpret this subject as per your liking and intent. Meanwhile, besides some photos in this event’s album on the theme, here are some interesting and useful youtube videos to get you started: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdVwZb5Iofw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdVwZb5Iofw) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUg0Y5uX558](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUg0Y5uX558) **Meeting Place and Time:** **In front of Clock Tower at TST Star Ferry, 3pm** We will meet in front of the Clock Tower at TST Star Ferry, 3pm, move around in small groups for taking pictures, then regroup for a drink, socialising and photo sharing 4.30pm onwards at **Delaney’s** **(Basement, Mary Building, 71- 77 Peking Road, TST**, this Irish pub is located just opposite the landmark building Chungking Mansions). **IMPORTANT:** Please sign up only if you are coming, those not showing up 2x in a row would be taken off the group list while active members would be given a preference over long inactive members, the last minute habitual dropouts and no-shows.

Step into 2026 with intention, clarity, and a creative practice designed to help you see yourself more clearly. In this special Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore confidence as something you can curate - through the choices you make, the qualities you amplify, and the story you choose to step into. We’ll start with a short guided reflection to surface the traits, habits, and energies you want to nurture in the coming year. Then, using collage materials selected specifically for this workshop, you’ll translate those insights into a visual composition that represents the version of yourself you’re ready to grow toward. This isn’t about resolutions or perfection. It’s about crafting a grounded, imaginative vision of your next chapter - one that feels honest, energizing, and fully yours. All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a friend) and a willingness to explore what confidence can look like for you in 2026. **Featured Partner: Columbus Collage Collective** The Columbus Collage Collective was started in August of 2023 by Emily Morgan (aka Lovely But Dead) and Douglas Cuckler (aka Wonder Doug) as a place for collage enthusiasts to gather and create art together. The collective has since become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to hold free or low-cost collage events across central Ohio. The CCC welcomes all artists of all backgrounds and skill levels and encourages folks to take this time to step away from everyday existence and create art with people who share a love for this dynamic art form. All materials—magazines, scissors, craft knives, glue, paper, cardboard, and more—are provided, so there's no need to bring anything at all (though you're welcome to bring a friend or a favorite tool if you'd like!). We also encourage folks to take home magazines and materials from our events to support continued creativity!

Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

**Calling all queer crochet enthusiasts;** I am a visual artist located in Columbus that is searching for people who may want to gather while also participating in creating a piece of artwork. My goal is to spend time enjoying one another’s company while making a work of art that will be displayed within our community. I plan to teach people to crochet (if unfamiliar) while also inviting current fiber artists to join us for some much-needed social interaction. There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.) \*This will be our first meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.
