Circle Song: Improvised Body Music
**Invitation**
**We are the instruments.**
A participatory, improvised, embodied practice that reconnects us to one another through rhythm, voice, and play.
This is a guided yet fully improvised experience, using the facilitation tools and methods of [Musica do Circulo](https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en). No prior experience is required, only an openness to connect with other humans in your own fun, light and authentic way.
Circle songs are an invitation into a fully immersive, fully improvised musical experience using vocals, body percussion and movement. It draws inspiration from musical embodied rhythm practices from around the world, including call-and-response singing, rhythmic clapping games and circle song traditions.
*"We are doing something that is so human and so needed, something that we've forgotten." - Igor, circle participant May 2025*
Simply by standing in a circle and connecting with our bodies as our instruments, we are reminded that we can find joy and meaning right here in this present moment, and in the next.
**This event is donation-based. What does this mean?**
It means pay if and what you can, so that everyone can join. It also means spreading the word and bringing your friends to keep this going strong!
If you think your company, organisation, team, or event could benefit from a similar experience — please reach out. That's how we sustain it in the long run.
**Doors close at 18.45**

✨ WILDFLOW VIII - Connect • Dance • Heal
🎟️ **TICKETS available exclusively via** **Luma** —[ ](https://luma.com/jp8bmq46)***[tap to access](https://luma.com/jp8bmq46)***
**🌿 WILDFLOW VIII — Music. Movement. Connection.**
**Wildflow is a body-led electronic music experience, driven by live DJ performances and supported by breath, sound, and movement.**
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.

ECSTATIC RHYTHMS · Cacao & Dance - Special Guest: Gyuriel Simon
# ECSTATIC RHYTHMS
## Cacao Ceremony & Freedom Dance
**About the Event**
Enter a collective ritual of presence, movement, and expression as we gather for **[Ecstatic Rhythms](https://www.notion.so/WEBSITE-sabinamedina-com-1284e61d096b80f1bd06eb75dc61198b?pvs=21&utm_source=luma)**.
In a world that often pulls us into speed and disconnection, this evening is an invitation to slow down, drop into the body, and remember the joy of moving and expressing together — freely, consciously, and without masks.
We begin by entering a shared meditative space and drinking **ceremonial Criollo cacao**, ethically sourced and cultivated in Venezuela. This heart-opening ritual is held with care and intention, creating a safe container to open the body, quiet the mind, and connect as a community in this unique moment.
From there, we move into a **balancing breathwork, voice activation, and body awakening**, preparing the nervous system and inviting us to fully let go. This phase supports alignment on a physical, emotional, and energetic level — setting the ground for deep expression.
The journey then unfolds into an **authentic ecstatic dance experience**, inspired by the ancient roots of dance before DJs existed. Through drums, shakers, our voices, and carefully curated soundscapes, we co-create a powerful movement ritual led by fire, rhythm, and presence.
Influenced by the principles of **Five Rhythms**, the dance becomes a space to express, observe, and release — moving through emotions and elements, shedding fears and masks, and exploring mind, body, and spirit in many forms. This is a space to get creative, dance like no one is watching, and awaken a playful, youthful sense of freedom.
We close by bringing everything home through a **deeply restorative gong and Tibetan bowl sound bath**, supporting integration, grounding, and nervous system regulation — completing the cycle of the evening.

# ECSTATIC RHYTHMS
## Ceremonia de Cacao & Danza Libre
## Sobre el Evento
Te invitamos a entrar en un ritual colectivo de presencia, movimiento y expresión mientras nos reunimos para **Ecstatic Rhythms**.
En un mundo que a menudo nos arrastra hacia la velocidad y la desconexión, esta experiencia es una invitación a bajar el ritmo, habitar el cuerpo y recordar la alegría de movernos y expresarnos juntxs — de forma libre, consciente y sin máscaras.
Comenzamos entrando en un espacio meditativo compartido y bebiendo **cacao ceremonial Criollo**, éticamente cultivado y proveniente de Venezuela. Este ritual de apertura del corazón se sostiene con cuidado e intención, creando un contenedor seguro para abrir el cuerpo, aquietar la mente y conectar como comunidad en este momento único.
A continuación, transitamos hacia una **respiración consciente, activación de la voz y despertar corporal**, preparando el sistema nervioso e invitándonos a soltar por completo. Esta fase favorece la alineación física, emocional y energética, sentando las bases para una expresión profunda.
El viaje continúa hacia una **experiencia auténtica de danza extática**, inspirada en las raíces ancestrales de la danza, antes de que existieran los DJs. A través de tambores, shakers, nuestras voces y paisajes sonoros cuidadosamente seleccionados, co-creamos un ritual de movimiento potente, guiado por el fuego, el ritmo y la presencia.
Influenciada por los principios de **Five Rhythms**, la danza se convierte en un espacio para expresar, observar y liberar — moviéndonos a través de emociones y elementos, soltando miedos y máscaras, y explorando mente, cuerpo y espíritu en múltiples formas. Un espacio para crear, bailar como si nadie mirara y despertar una libertad lúdica y vital.
Cerramos el ciclo llevando todo de vuelta al cuerpo con un **profundo baño de sonido con gong y cuencos tibetanos**, apoyando la integración, el enraizamiento y la regulación del sistema nervioso.

All levels are welcome. Whether you sit at a desk all day, experience recurring back tension, or simply want to move more confidently, you’ll be supported and coached throughout.

• A water bottle
• A yoga mat

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.

* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* There's a restroom along the route at [Tuttle Park Community Center](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KTZJgLE1CrrbRNmJ7), which is about two‑thirds of the way from [Clinton-Como Park](https://maps.app.goo.gl/z8Cx8evwLiWundMe8) to our [turnback point](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZXk7qUVszLQ8EJxHA).
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
Rocky Fork Hike
Join us this Thursday (5/14) at 6:30 pm at Rocky Fork Metro Park in Westerville as we walk about 2.5 miles of a fully paved trail. The Beech Woodland trail is a flat yet scenic trail with a variety of landscapes. Let’s take it in together!
In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
Building Agents with Microsoft Agent Framework
We will show how to build custom agents with Microsoft Agent Framework. Attendees will learn how to build and custom host agents when Microsoft Foundry is not a viable option.
