Work With Your Hormones (Not Against Them) 21.05
A safe and welcoming womenâs circle designed to help you understand your hormones, menstrual cycle, and energy in real life - and learn how to work with your body rather than against it, so you can feel more balanced, supported, and able to thrive.
Guided by Urska, health coach specialized in womenâs hormonal health, this circle is created especially for busy urban women navigating modern life, work, relationships, and constant stimulation â often while feeling disconnected from their bodies or unsure how to support themselves hormonally.
This circle is for you if you are experiencing hormonal imbalances, navigating fertility or trying to get pregnant, moving through different life stages, or simply wanting to better understand how your hormones influence your mood, energy, focus, and well-being throughout the month.
Through clear, accessible teaching, youâll be introduced to cycle syncing â understanding the different phases of the menstrual cycle, the unique âsuperpowersâ each phase brings, and why your needs naturally change across the month. Youâll also receive practical, realistic tips on how to adjust your food, lifestyle, rest, movement, and boundaries in ways that fit real life.
The circle is held in a calm, respectful, and intimate setting. Sharing is always optional. You are welcome exactly as you are. This is a space to listen, to speak if you wish, and to feel safe sharing your experience among other women.
âš A moment to slow down, feel seen, gain clarity, and leave with a deeper understanding of your body â and simple tools to support your hormones and thrive in everyday life.
**Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

Groupe de parole : sujet Ă thĂšme
Le sujet : Le couple. Comment améliorer notre relation
Par ZOOM (tel pour inscriptions au 06 48 13 15 98)
Quâest-ce quâun groupe de parole ?
AnimĂ© par un thĂ©rapeute professionnel, les groupes de parole sont un espace de partage, dâaccueil, dâĂ©change, et dâĂ©coute , autour dâun thĂšme. Ils se veulent un lieu oĂč chaque participant peut exprimer en toute authenticitĂ© ce quâil vit et ressent, par rapport Ă une problĂ©matique, dans un climat dâĂ©coute, de respect et de bienveillance. Les groupes de parole permettent de sortir de lâisolement psychosocial et dâavoir plus de ressource pour faire face aux problĂšmes du quotidien. Partager son histoire, pouvoir parler de ses difficultĂ©s sans craindre le regard ou le jugement de lâautre, au milieu de personnes qui traversent les mĂȘmes Ă©preuves fait Ă©merger une solidaritĂ© dans le groupe. La confiance et la complicitĂ© sâinstallant peu Ă peu, Ă travers cette rencontre authentique avec soi et avec lâautre, va faciliter lâĂ©mergence de nouvelles pistes de rĂ©flexions, questions, nouveaux points de vue, solutions, soit, autant de ressources pour permettre Ă chacun de comprendre ses propres processus, de se repositionner et dâĂ©voluer afin de mieux vivre son quotidien.

***Now, about Ready-Set-Write! ..*.**
Ready Set Write! is a regular meeting of motivated writers who grab a beverage, then shut up and write.
***What it is:*** An opportunity for writers to get together and do short, intense bursts of writing. We write for 45-ish minutes, take a 15 minute break, rinse & repeat.

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 yearâs Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it âa sure-fired crowd-pleaserâ that âjust might be the feel-good hit of the year!â Others say, âPaul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmerâ thatâs both âhilarious and deeply moving!â

Trails & Ales! Blendon Woods Metro Park / Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery
**History**
The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville.
Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people.
As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support.
The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The parkâs famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the parkâs reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts.
In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area.
**Map of the Park**
Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png).
**Summary**
For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks.

We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center.
**After the Hike**
Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.
How to Be a Better Communicator - Free Seminar
How to be a Better Communicator
Communication is everything in life
You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.
\- What if you could confidently talk to anyone?
\- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation?
\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
