**Discover the Healing Power of Pranic Healing & Twin Hearts Meditation!**
Join us for a complimentary introductory talk, meditation, and healing event on every Tuesdays, 7.30pm\~9.30pm.
Pranic Healing is a powerful energy healing modality that can help you achieve better physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. It is a non-invasive, non-touch healing technique that uses prana, or life force energy, to cleanse, energise, and balance the energy body.
During the introductory talk, you will learn more about Pranic Healing, how it works, and the many benefits it can offer. You will also have the opportunity to experience Pranic Healing for yourself with a complimentary session from our Pranic Healing volunteers.
In addition to the introductory talk and healing session, you will also get to experience Meditation on Twin Hearts. This meditation is a simple yet powerful practice that can help you achieve inner peace, harmony, and love. It is also a great way to connect with your higher self and with the divine.

By clearing energetic blockages and replenishing vital energy, a session will leave you feeling refreshed, revitalised, and ready to take on the rest of your day with renewed vigour!

Oscar International Nominee: SIRAT at the Gateway Film Center
Join us as we get together to see SIRAT, an Oscar-nominated Best International Film from Spain that follows a father, accompanied by his son, goes looking for his missing daughter in North Africa. Hereโs a description, trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A father, accompanied by his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco while searching for his daughter who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. As their search continues, the journey forces them to confront their own limits. The film is directed by Oliver Laxe and stars Sergi Lopez, Bruno Nunez Arjona and Richard Bellamy.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww-IXHXvS70
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: SIRAT has already won numerous awards, including 4 at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, along with the Chicago, Montclair and Toronto International Film Festivals! It also earned a whopping 11 nominations at the 40th Goya Awards, including Best Film and Director, and was nominated for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound at this yearโs Academy Awards. The film is earning a stellar 92% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes which calls it โan unforgettable exercise in tensionโ and โa brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination.โ
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and weโll meet inside the upstairs lobby between 6:40 and 6:50pm. Super Tuesday ticket price is just $6.50 (including online fee)! Advance ticket purchase is advised (via Gateway website preferred). Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event! This one will be a โmovie onlyโ event.

Also included: Oscar-themed trivia with prizes from local businesses, on-site paparazzi, and the Drexel's Oscar ballot contest with a chance to win a year of free Drexel movies!

ARRIVAL: Doors open for CMG at 5:30pm so thatโs when weโll plan to meet! Thatโll give us plenty of time to fill out our Oscar Ballots, pick up some free popcorn, candy, and something to drink, mix, mingle, take some photos, pick up your Newfangled Kitchen Meal Deal, grab a seat in our CMG Reserved Section, then settle in to enjoy the Academy Awards on the Big Screen!
PICTURES: Weโll take pics throughout the evening and the Drexel Paparazzi will be on hand as well. Weโll also take a big group photo around 6:40 near the entrance before the show begins. If you happen to take some good shots yourself, be sure to upload them on the Oscar Party Meetup event!
RESERVED SEATING: As you enter the theater, the roped off section to the right marked โReservedโ is reserved for you, your guest(s) and the Columbus Movie Group!
VEGAN MEALS: As previously mentioned, the food vendor does NOT have a vegan option at this yearโs 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. Iโll provide details off-line.
And while there wonโt 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 Drexelโs Annual Oscar ballot contest, along with the Big Show on the Big Screen and a fun group of Movie Group friends to watch โem with!
