**Ecstatic Dance . Saturday, 7 March · 19:30–22:30** Sha-La Studios – Waterfront, Kreuzberg An evening to arrive. We begin gently — sharing ceremonial cacao, breathing together, letting the nervous system settle. Attention drops from the head into the body. From there, movement unfolds. Music opens a landscape of rhythms and emotional tones. There is no choreography, no performance, no expectation. You are invited to move exactly as you are — guided by sensation, breath, and your own inner rhythm. Ecstatic Dance is not about becoming something else. It’s about feeling yourself more fully. 🌿 3-hour guided journey 🍫 Cacao ritual 🌬 Breath & embodiment 🔊 Upgraded sound system in progress — expect deeper waves and richer bass Come alone or bring a friend. No prior experience needed. Let’s create a space where movement becomes honest and presence deepens. Looking forward to dancing together.

Women's Yoga is a gentle, nourishing practice designed to support the health of the female body. The classes follow a cycle-aware approach, honoring the natural changes in hormones, energy levels, and emotional states throughout the month. Each session begins with a short guided meditation to settle the mind, followed by a soft, flowing yoga practice and a deeply relaxing closing rest. The movements and postures are carefully chosen to support the female organs, pelvic floor, hips, and lower body, helping to create balance, strength, and ease. This practice is intuitive and permission-based. You're invited to move at your own rhythm, in tune with your cycle and how you feel on the day. Breathwork plays an important role, supporting the nervous system and hormonal balance. Women's Yoga offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and build a deeper sense of awareness, acceptance, and trust in your natural cycles. Come as you are. Bring your own mat or use one of ours. Please arrive 10 minutes early to settle in. The door will be closed once class begins, and late entry will not be possible.

Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
