From the very beginning, I have immersed myself in a spiritual women’s group, which has been a profound source of support and growth. Yoga and Tantra Yoga have brought incredible balance, harmony, and a deeper understanding of myself, truly transforming my life. Throughout my journey with the traditional integral Yoga system, I’ve learned practical ways to bring calm and balance into daily life, even in challenging times. Completing my Tantra Yoga for Women Instructor Training was a turning point, as it allowed me to blossom in ways I hadn’t thought possible. Being surrounded by a nurturing sisterhood showed me the immense power of women uplifting one another, and I now feel called to share this path with other women who seek similar transformation. In this **Tantra Yoga for Women** group, I am excited to lead you through these teachings, helping you connect deeply with your feminine energy and support your blossoming into fullness and joy. Together, we’ll create a safe and sacred space where you can embrace your own potential, find balance, and build bonds with a supportive community of women. I look forward to sharing this journey with you! **Price per month** Normal: 30,00 € ***Note:*** Over Meetup you can only sign-up for the first month for 10,00 €.

ENGLISH: **INNER GUIDANCE** **A Transformative Movement Workshop** **for all beautiful women / sisters** **Grow · Unfold · Integrate** The Inner GUIDANCE Workshop is an embodied journey into your inner knowing, wisdom, and clarity. Through free-form movement, dance, and gently guided impulses and intention-setting, you are invited to reconnect with your body as a source of guidance, truth, and trust. In a supportive and non-judgmental space, we move to alchemize inner obstacles, awaken joy in the body, express a freer, new version of ourselves, and return to our inner center. Gratitude becomes a shared practice, raising our frequency, cultivating unity within ourselves and with others, and opening us to authentic human connection—expressed through the language of our moving bodies and hearts. This workshop creates space to listen deeply to your inner knowing via the body in movement. You will be supported to just be you in the present moment, allowing and discovering change, strengthening self-trust. Besides dancing mostly for yourself there will be also some partner and group invitations in movement which you can join or not and some physical touch involved, of course all volunteerly. We will end with an relaxing integration time and little sound bath. No prior dance experience is required. There is no right or wrong way to move—only the willingness to connect with your inner compass: your body. Move towards your true self, guided from within. Come just as you are and wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement. **Energy exchange:** 20 Euro (normal), 15 Euro (reduced) The session may be held in German and/or English, depending on the needs of the participants. **Please register due limited spaces via email, PM, Meet Up message latest till Friday 05.06.2026:** EMAIL: soulbalance@mail.de I look forward to holding space for you.

She grew up in the Middle East, spoiled by oil money and patriarchy, and came to Europe to pursue her dream of becoming an average engineer. Her humor has been described as dark and gross while shedding light on unnecessary truths. **Sofia May** Sofia May was raised in New York City on a strict diet of Ren and Stimpy and bad boundaries. Pure of heart and benefiting from having an eternal baby face, Sofia likes to play with any disturbing topic as if it is her new favorite toy. People often say: "She's so innocent! ...Just like O.J. Simpson". She is best known for her critically acclaimed dark comedy solo "9/11 Birds and the Bees" **Awards:** **Best Fringe Performer** \- European Comedy Awards **Shortlisted Nominee For Best Newcomer** \- British Comedy Guide's Comedian Choice Awards **Reviews:** "Sofia May, whose charming stage presence suggests the most potential." — The Guardian "She gives off the vibe that she’d give you a hug if you needed it, and while delivering said hug, stick a sign on your back that says a whole bunch of slurs." —European Comedy Review "A masterclass in pitch black humor"—The Nerd Party **Matilda Paulsson** At first glance you might think Matilda is a twelve year old boy with divorced parents, and you’d be half right! Her parents are still together. Battling alcoholism, mental health issues, drug addiction and quitting breast milk all within her early years, has helped blossom her humor to be dark, whimsical, witty and most of all unpredictable! Matilda rarely stays in one place for extended periods of time, rumors say it’s due to the cyber police, so don’t miss out on seeing her tonight!“Really funny!” - Real newspaper “Would see again even if she wasn’t the last person on earth!” -Pleased audience member “10/10 would bang again” - Very pleased audience member “Does anybody read these?” - An actual question [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/btch-circle-english-stand-up-comedy-tickets-1990716923908)

Interested? Contact Preston Moore k.preston.moore@gmail.com 614-300-5989 ———————————— Engaging in men’s work is the new way to forge friendships while being open-minded to personal growth. Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work. Open Men’s Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback. We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet. Visit ManKind Project USA to discover more. https://mkpusa.org/

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
