**The RPG School Initiative** a *beginner-focused* one-shot event series RPG School offers a beginner-focused, relaxed atmosphere to experience the joy of table-top roleplaying gaming for the first time. We will show you the ropes and dice, take you on a fun adventure and are prepared for all your questions. No prior experience with roleplaying or the system is needed. We will be playing Daggerheart, a new Fantasy RPG by Critical Role, using a world called Beast Feast: A bit absurd, certainly comedic, sometimes creepy, but always fun and silly. You will be playing with three to four other players at one table, the assignment happens during the event. We start each adventure with a short introduction, where you learn about the basics and pick your pre-made character. Afterwards we dive into a unique experience, explaining the rules and concepts while actually playing the game. At the end, we have time to talk and find connections as well as hear your thoughts and questions. All games are in English. The cost of participation is **8 Euro**, which you will pay at the entrance. Never played RPGs and always wanted to try? This is your event! **GAME MASTERS**: Philippe(x2) and Ella **SYSTEM**: Daggerheart, using the Beast Feast campaign setting **DESCRIPTION**: For as long as anybody can remember, your village has been a safe haven. A powerful lure drew all the dangerous creatures in your forest down into caves beneath. Your community lived a simple life of peace for generations, only taking what you needed and leaving the lush but dangerous undergrounds to the monsters. But recently, the lure seems to have lost its allure. Monster sightings have grown and just last night, there was even an attack on your mayor, Doug Dougle! He survived but it was a shock for your community. You and your friends decide to tackle the problem yourselves. You arm yourself with a rolling pin, a fishing rod or whatever other odd tool you find. Packing only the essentials, you head out and turn west, to the well-known but shunned entrance to the legendary endless caves. What dangers and wonders will you encounter? What happened to the lure? And what will you eat on your journey? **TONE:** The tone of the setting and adventures will be absurd, comedic and lighthearted. Still, fighting somewhat creepy monsters will be part of the experience. Safety mechanisms will be provided to ensure everybody’s comfort. **PLACE**: We will play at the [ARCHIVO ARCANO](https://www.archivoarcano.com/). (Carrer del Rosselló, 195, Eixample, Barcelona). Please wait in the lobby to be welcomed and guided by one of the organizers. The entrance to the venue costs **8€.** **DRINKS & FOOD**: You can purchase drinks at the place, but you are NOT ALLOWED to bring them from outside. You CAN bring your own food. You even should do that ;). If you don't do that there will be an option to buy some snacks at the place or get a sandwich in the restaurant nearby. **ACESSIBILITY**: We try to keep the event accessible for everyone. Please let us know if you require special access (e.g. wheelchair) or care (e.g. noise sensitivity) during the event. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **WAITING LIST** Players who arrive more than 15 minutes late will automatically forfeit their spot, which will then be offered to people waiting at the venue. If you decide to show up without a reserved place, you may still be able to join a table if a spot becomes available. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **NEW TO BARCELONA ROLEPLAYING GROUP?** Join us on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/vNWpsp99db) where you find other players and gamemasters, connect with fellow peers and talk about table top roleplaying, video games and board games.

Hey Music Crew! Sunday just got better with our Meetup group's Sunday Groove! Get ready for a kickback filled with awesome live music, good vibes, and the chance to meet fantastic new friends! We're turning this Sunday into a chill zone where the tunes flow freely, the energy is contagious, and the atmosphere is pure fun. Join our Meetup crew and let's make this Sunday a one to remember!

What if your weekend didn’t rush you, but softened you? This gentle, nature-based mindfulness walk is an invitation to slow down, listen to birdsong instead of notifications, and reconnect with yourself through simple presence. No experience needed, just comfortable shoes and a willingness to be here. **Birdsong Mindfulness Walks 🐦 🌿** * Slow, nature-based mindfulness in Barcelona * Slow, mindful meditation walk (not fitness or hiking). * Birdsong as a mindfulness anchor (not birdwatching). * **[Join our Whatsapp group for walk updates](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GaajU297K67G1kyz2fy1pz)** Join a slow, mostly silent walk through the Montjuïc area, guided by birdsong, breath, and gentle presence. This is an invitation to step out of the rush of everyday life and reconnect with your body, your senses, and the natural world around you. Just walking, listening, and being here. **What we’ll do ✨** * We begin with a short, gentle grounding practice. * We walk at a slow, mindful pace (intentionally slower than a usual walk). * We use birdsong and natural sounds as anchors for awareness. * We pause at times to listen, sense, or simply be still. * We close with a few moments of shared stillness. **A note on birds 🐦** * This is not a birdwatching walk, though we use birdsong as a meditation anchor. * If you’re curious, I’m always happy to chat after the walk about birds we noticed by sight or sound. We hold a monthly gathering for amateur birdwatching. **Language 🗣** * Guided talks and meditations are currently offered in English. * I’m learning Spanish and Catalan and hope to offer guided practices in those languages in the future. **Group size 👥** * We began with very small, intimate groups due to individual Reiki sessions. As interest has grown, more spots are opening and the structure is kept simple so we can walk together more spaciously. * Returning walkers may occasionally join beyond the usual number, as they are already familiar with the pace and nature of the practice. 💛 If you’ve joined before and would like to come again, please join the waitlist or message me directly. I’ll happily mark you as going. **About the practice 💛** I’m a mindfulness teacher in training, and part of this journey includes learning through practice. You may be gently invited to share feedback to help me grow as a facilitator. If any mindfulness teacher trainees would like to co-lead or guide a future walk, feel free to reach out. I’d love to share the space. **Cost 🌿** * These walks are currently offered for free as a way of giving back. * Donations are welcome to help cover Meetup costs and keep the walks accessible: [https://www.hereaware.com/donate](https://www.hereaware.com/donate) **Weather 🌧** * Light rain can be part of the experience. Routes are chosen with mostly concrete paths, often around Jardins de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer. * In case of heavy rain, strong wind, or storm alerts, the walk will be cancelled for safety reasons. **Location and confirmation 📍** * The walk takes place in the Montjuïc area. * The exact meeting point pin will be shared via private comments or via Whatsapp once you’ve RSVP’d, a couple of days before the walk. * Please confirm your attendance by sending a WhatsApp message to:📲 +34 722 692 960 Full experience details and background: [https://www.hereaware.com/experiences](https://www.hereaware.com/experiences) [https://linktr.ee/here.aware](https://linktr.ee/here.aware) **Please read 🎶** * We begin the grounding at the start time, with a 5-minute grace period. * Please arrive a little early to settle in comfortably. * If you’ll be late, text me at least 15 minutes in advance and I’ll share a live location pin. * If you arrive during the grounding or while we’re walking, you’re welcome to join quietly. * Phones will be invited onto silent mode during the walk. **Consent and phones 🎧** The only consent I’ll ask for is for audio recording (for my mindfulness teacher training). I won’t take photos during the walk. You’re welcome to take photos after, and I gently invite minimal phone use during the experience. Thank you for helping keep the space calm, respectful, and spacious for everyone 🌿

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! For this event, we’ll help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents, wash dishes and clean surfaces at Fath Mission – Grant Kitchen. We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. Our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:15am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1, indicated in the attached map. On-site and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: \* LSS Volunteer Guidelines: Uploaded to photos. \* Parking Map Info: Uploaded to photos. \* LSS Faith Mission Orientation Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp46_6ay6iA \* Link with Additional Details / Info: https://lss.vomo.org/opportunity/faith-mission-grant-kitchen-2025 IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With very few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Come check us out! You will have a wonderful time! The music and friendships are life-changing!

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

**Karaoke Night**: Bring your glee club friends. Enjoy a flashback to your choir days. No chorus line. It's all you baby. Sing. Shout. Scream. Lip sync if you need to. But do show up and do have a good time. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

**Community Dance – Every Friday at Unity of Columbus** Let go of the week’s stress and move into joy! Join us every Friday for an evening of community, connection, and dance at Unity of Columbus.
