Our chakras are energy centers that influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. When they are aligned, we experience harmony, increased energy, and a greater sense of peace. During this serene and relaxing experience vibrational sound will travel into your energy centers in a soothing sound bath journey. Allow yourself to wash away stress and clear any stagnant energy. As you lie comfortably, the soothing sounds of crystal bowls and calming instruments will resonate through your body, harmonizing each chakra from root to crown. This sound bath is designed to promote deep relaxation, enhance your emotional well-being, and restore your inner balance. No Experience necessary. All you need is an open heart to welcome the sound medicine. **What you may experience during this session:** -Chakra Balancing -Ability to connect to your higher self and your Ancestors -Improve Sleep -Improve emotional balance -Increased feelings of joy, happiness, and inner peace -Ability to create self-love and improve relationships -Stress Relief -Connection with like minded individuals **What to bring:** -Your own water bottle -A pen and notebook \- A Yoga mat \(or use one at the studio\) -A blanket ( or use one at the studio) -Eye mask (if you have one, this will enhance your experience) -Comfortable clothes to breathe and lay down (If you are very sensitive to sound you may wear earplugs) **About Jenny Perez Curandera:** Jenny is a Curandera Shamanic healer.

\*We do have registered guests for this meeting via Facebook. Hello! This book club gathering is a guided discussion of *The Untethered Soul* by Michael A. Singer. The conversation will center on awareness, the inner voice, emotional attachment, and what it actually means to let go in everyday life. **What we will cover** * The difference between you and the voice in your head * Why resisting emotions keeps them stuck * How personal stories and identity create unnecessary suffering * Letting go as an active practice, not a mindset * Openness versus control and why control fuels anxiety * What real inner freedom looks like, independent of circumstances **Agenda** * Casual arrival and drinks * Brief framing of the book and its main themes * Open discussion guided by core questions Come even if you did not finish every chapter. The value comes from the discussion, not perfection. ### Sample Discussion Questions We will use a short set of guiding questions to keep the conversation grounded and practical. No preparation is required. —Which parts of your identity feel most tied to competence, reliability, or being the one who holds things together? How might those identities limit rest, spontaneity, or openness without you noticing? —What would “letting go” look like if it did not mean lowering standards or disengaging from life? —How often do you try to improve an experience instead of fully experiencing it? —What happens when you allow discomfort without mentally preparing for the next step? —What would shift if awareness replaced self correction in one small area of your life? —What does the book mean by “the voice in your head,” and when do you notice it running your day? —Which emotions are hardest for you to let pass without resisting or fixing them? —How do personal stories about the past quietly shape current reactions? —What does control look like in everyday life, and where does it create tension instead of safety? —What would it mean to stay open during discomfort rather than closing down? —In what areas of life does “letting go” feel most threatening or unrealistic? —How might awareness alone change a habit without force or self-criticism? ### Key Takeaways from *The Untethered Soul* * You are the observer of your thoughts, not the thoughts themselves * Emotional pain lingers because of resistance, not because of the event * Identity built on memory keeps the mind reactive and guarded * Control is a major source of anxiety and inner tension * Openness is a skill that can be practiced moment by moment * Awareness dissolves patterns more effectively than self-fixing * Inner freedom is independent of circumstances or outcomes **Book Summary:** https://www.sloww.co/untethered-soul/

Remember the new start time: We've moved the clock up! We now meet at 10:00 AM and roll at 10:10 AM. Meeting Spot: With Freedom Plaza still closed for renovation, we are meeting at the entrance to Pershing Park (World War I Memorial) at the corner of Pennsylvania Ave & 14th St NW. Join us Sunday as Brent leads us through his master route creation! Starting at Freedom Plaza, this 12-mile loop begins with a smooth eastward glide through the city along D Street, where the urban grid sets a steady rhythm before transitioning onto the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail. Once we hit the trail, we can really start to up the tempo, enjoying the open pavement all the way to the Anacostia Skating Pavilion. We’ll hang out there for a few minutes to work on some drills or just catch our breath before the most intense leg of the trip. From the pavilion, we hit the Anacostia Riverwalk Dash, where everyone can go full bore and push the pace to the limit until we reach the base of the bridge; heart rates should be maxing out here. The downhill off the South Capitol Street Bridge lets us coast right past Audi Field, where the vibes are much higher than usual lately, as DC United has been putting together a solid string of results to open the season. That good hometown momentum will carry us north through our last few miles as we venture through the Southwest Waterfront neighborhood. The journey reaches its final act as we dive into the 12th Street Tunnel, which offers a cool, cinematic finish that leads us right back into the heart of the District and to the finish line. The route: https://www.komoot.com/tour/1886701986?share_token=a9l1XJQ6VrzZ2t08egmvG8q4PEBUop4hv7oL80CJr79VkECpX1&ref=wtd You don't want to miss this one, it hits quite a few [#WAR](https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/war?__eep__=6&__cft__[0]=AZaHwGaXEfxyKJW1GGfny--49gi0c8dQLQ5jQ0OjRPTMOxFsTOnqV2uzb2Tibv20UoyJfDFGBA-UVCrtYCtCJ7I82RvPxBhAMIh1IvNLileJUQ&__tn__=q) favorites!

**NOW ONLINE** The weekly Sunday morning (10:30 am to 12 noon) class begins with a welcome, short reflection on an aspect of the teachings, and includes an arriving meditation (15 minutes) that will often incorporate poems and may end with a reflection or question. The opening meditation is followed by an invitation to each person to share their name and a few words (for example, what is alive for them right now or what their intention is for the class or the day). The sharing has been a powerful support to help welcome new people, get to know each other, and build community/sangha. Following a brief period of mindful stretching/movement, we finish with a longer meditation (25-30 minutes) and final reflections on the teachings, sharing, Q&A, and announcements. Class participants are welcome to stay and engage with other members of the community or adjourn to a neighboring restaurant or coffee shop. This space is inclusive, everyone is welcome, and we invite you to bring with you all aspects of yourself.

Join us for the Friday Night Fitness Skate! A 12 or 8 mile fitness skate that skates the same route each week so you will know the route and pavement hazards (since it is dark) and be able to work on form, endurance or speed as the cold wind is pushing against you! ;) The route has nice long stretches of uninterrupted skating, open roads with very few cars and the regroups are short and infrequent. We will meet at Freedom Plaza at 7pm as long as it is not raining, snowing and the pavement is not wet or icy. We’ll warm up with a skate to the Capital and then skate along the mall and museums to the National Monument. We will then head to the Lincoln Memorial through the World War II Memorial. From the Lincoln we will proceed to Haynes Point down Ohio Drive with the option to take the 3 mile Haynes Point loop (12 mile total skate) or practice stops or stunts at the regroup spot while others skate the loop (8.5 mile total skate.) The skate is mostly flat on good pavement with a small slope coming down from the Washington Monument and a 40 yard small slop from the Lincoln to Ohio Drive and a couple patches here and there. The wind can be very strong and cold especially on Ohio Drive and Haynes Point as we skate adjacent to the water. Please feel free to jazz up your gear with lights, I wear a helmet bike light (since it is pretty dark) and a set of body lights. Most of the regulars skate with lighted wheels for fun! Wear your lights so you have fun, can see and be seen! In case of bad weather, I will update this post via the comment section around 6pm on Friday. Of course, all skating is at your own risk. Hope you will come join us!

**THE POWER OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS OVER YOU** You are welcome to arrive 15 minutes early for refreshments! At the lecture "The Power of the Subconscious", the speaker will clearly and understandably explain topics such as: What is the exact definition of the Subconscious Mind? How does it inflict unwanted feelings and anxiety in you? What determines how much pressure it exerts on a person? What exactly is the goal of the subconscious? This is not just a lecture where you sit quietly and listen. It's interactive and LIVE, so you can ask questions at any time. And the most important topic: **HOW DO YOU TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR SUBCOUNSCIOUS!** This group is sponsored by the Dianetics Life Improvement Center.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
