I thought meditation meant sitting in silence/chanting/focusing on the breath! A- We are all struggling with our deep-rooted suppressed emotions/unresolved issues/pain/hurt. When we sit in SILENCE, these thoughts pop up; it becomes difficult to sit & go inwardly. In OSHO Active meditations, you VIBRATE...DANCE and suppressed energy move & spread in the body. The flow of energy turned “UPWARD.” Your rock-like being melts down, and and you become THE CHILD AGAIN. Now the SILENCE comes to you naturally. Join our WhatsApp Group to stay connected with us.

Ever feel like you just need someone to talk to—someone who will truly listen without judgement? Whether you're going through something tough, feeling stuck, or simply want to share your thoughts with a kind and understanding soul, "A Friend in Need" is here for you. For 30 minutes, you’ll have a one-on-one chat with a warm and compassionate listener, who’s here to offer support, perspective, and meaningful conversation. No scripts, no pressure—just genuine human connection. 💬 How it Works: ✅ Only four spots available (first come, first served) ✅ Each session lasts 30 minutes ✅ Private and respectful—your thoughts are safe here ✅ Fee: AED 50 per session ✅ Arrive at the time appointed to you Need more time? If there’s room after all four sessions, extensions will be available for an additional AED 30 per 15 minutes. These extensions MAY happen online at a later time. ⚠️ Important Disclaimer: This event is NOT a substitute for therapy, counselling, or professional advice. It is simply a friendly conversation space for those who need someone to talk to. Reserve your spot now—sometimes, all we need is a friend in the moment. 💙

This is your chance to get all your questions answered in 30 minutes for AED 50. First come, first served. Each one of you will be given a different time. Please arrive at the time given to you. Those on the waiting list can get a private 30-minute online session for AED 100. If you RSVP but don't show up, you will be banned from the group.

This is an event for those interested in improving and testing their English language skills. The exams are intended to be fun and CHALLENGING. The exam shall test your reading, writing and listening skills, and the interesting post-exam discussion shall test your speaking skills. The answer key shall be shared after the exam, and the exam results shall be announced the following week. The highest scorer shall get a prize if his grade is above 90%. Please note that this event has a fee of AED 30. Also, please arrive on time. Due to the nature of this event, it is not possible to provide additional time to latecomers.

The goal of this event is to foster mathematical thinking and generate the next generation of independent mathematicians. This event is divided into two segments: The first segment is a warm-up round in which we shall solve high school maths problems. Feel free to bring your own problems and books! You may also want to bring a scientific calculator. The second segment is an introduction to mathematical logic and proof-writing. The problems solved in this segment will be of a different nature. An online group will also be created for mathematical discussions and to keep a record of whatever was covered. This is essential as mathematics is a discipline that continually builds upon the knowledge accumulated so far. Make sure to bring pens and a notebook (or plenty of A4 paper, whichever you prefer).

Let us read the second part and can also reflect on the author who passed away in 2025. Please buy your own coffee and sit down. It is not a big coffee shop so you will easily find me. Happy reading!

Whether you're new to Insight meditation or an advanced practitioner looking for like-minded people to sit with, you're welcome to join us at our Sunday morning drop-in group, sponsored by the Insight Meditation Community of Washington.

The size of the group usually runs somewhere between 25-40 people in-person and between 12-25 online. Chairs are provided, or you may bring a sitting cushion or bench.

[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Love and Monsters,”** on the inescapable bond between romance and horror, with Joshua Barton, scholar of horror and lecturer in English at Virginia Commonwealth University. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/nv-love-monsters](https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/profsandpints/nv-love-monsters) .] Romance and horror might seem like opposite genres, but they share a deep emotional core, and the combination of them has captivated audiences across time and culture. Put even your worst Valentine’s Day in perspective by hearing this strange relationship discussed by Joshua Barton, who has earned a big following among Profs and Pints fans with his past talks on cryptids, American horror, and Christmas ghosts. He’ll explore the undeniable and unsettling intersection of romance and horror and examine how and why love and fear intensify each other and combined to create tension, drive narratives, and explore human vulnerability. We’ll look at works that have blended passion and terror, including Gothic literature like the vampire novella *Carmilla* and modern films like *Spring* and *Crimson Peak*. We’ll study the fine line between obsession and adoration running through Stephen King’s “I Know What You Need,” Adrian Lyne’s *Fatal Attraction*, and the timeless *The Phantom of the Opera.* We’ll discuss the seeds of monstrous love that were planted with *Beauty and the Beast* and *Creature from the Black Lagoon* and bloom ferociously in works like *Twilight* and *The Shape of Water*. Through it all, we’ll find the threads of otherness and the taboo that intertwine horror, love, and reflections on identity. Join us for a journey through storytelling that combines the grotesque and the scintillating as we uncover why romance and horror are a match made in the dark. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. Talk starts 30 minutes later.) Image: From the original 1954 advertising poster for *Creature from the Black Lagoon* (Artist: Reynold Brown / Public Domain).
