Chinese New Year Calligraphy
Chinese New Year Calligraphy
Title: Chinese Calligraphy in the Park 🖌️🍃 (Beginner-Friendly) Description: Join us for a calm, aesthetic outdoor session of Chinese calligraphy in the park — a slow, mindful practice where nature becomes your studio. We’ll begin with a short story: how Chinese characters were inspired by observing nature, and why in calligraphy the most important thing isn’t speed, but attention. Then we’ll practice step by step: • Brush basics: how to hold the brush, where to press, where to stay light • Water practice: strokes on water-writing sheets (they appear, then fade — no fear of mistakes) • Ink practice: training sheets with ink for deeper, more confident movement • Final piece: your chosen character on rice paper (Optional: add a fingerprint stamp as a personal mark of the moment) You’ll leave with your finished calligraphy — a small art object and a memory of a quiet, beautiful morning. What to bring: Comfortable clothes, a bottle of water, and a curious mind. All calligraphy materials are provided (brush, ink, water sheets, paper). Level: Open to beginners — no experience needed. Meeting point: 📍 Parc Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves Parc Naturel Départemental Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves 🕒 22.02.2026, 10:00 AM (duration: 1–1.5 hours) Spots: Limited to keep the atmosphere calm. Please RSVP. How to join / contact: Send me a message on Meetup or DM “Calligraphy in the Park” for the next dates.

February Book Club Meetup
February Book Club Meetup
Welcome, readers! Our February read is **_1984 by George Orwell._** In 1984, George Orwell imagines a world where the government watches everyone, rewrites reality, and punishes even private thoughts. Winston Smith dares to question this system, believing that truth and love might still exist. His rebellion draws him into a chilling struggle against a power that knows him better than he knows himself. The novel leaves readers asking whether freedom is possible when reality itself can be controlled. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

Anger and Resentment, How to Handle their Source and Live a Better Life
Anger and Resentment, How to Handle their Source and Live a Better Life
Wouldn’t it be nice to find a way to overcome your feelings of anger so that you not only control them, but you no longer have the urge to lose your temper in the first place? And how about being able to shake off resentments, persistent annoyance, or even feelings of vengeance? We’d like to invite you to an event on how to overcome anger and resentment. We will show you why people have trouble controlling their temper and where resentment comes from. Flaring anger can ruin a meeting, a relationship, an opportunity, or just about any aspect of life. Worst of all, outbursts towards our family can create hurt that lingers throughout a lifetime. You want to have a civil conversation, and you’ve vowed that you wouldn’t lose your temper, but a few minutes later, the anger flares up. Maybe you’ve realized that being angry doesn’t get you what you want so you internalize it. Or maybe you avoid the knockdown, drag-out fights, but stewing in resentment is exhausting and takes an emotional toll. In this event we show you how to get to the root of your anger so that it stops being an issue to you. You’ll also learn why people harbor resentments and how to move on. Don't continue to struggle, make a difference in your life, and join us for this local event. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This Meetup is sponsored by your local Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
