We gather every Saturday at 16h for our weekly collective meditation practice.

The meditations are held as part of the Meditation Steps project — a non-profit initiative that aims to make meditation and yoga accessible to everyone and inspire positive change in society. ​Our facilitator Michael, has been practicing meditation for five years and guides sessions that blend dynamic and silent meditation. His approach combines movement, breath, and stillness to create a modern, grounding experience that helps people reconnect with clarity and calm. ​These sessions are in ENGLISH. ​Donation based. Suggested donation 10€. ​ ​**Location** ​​​​**Samanà Space** (🔗 [IG](https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/)) **Address:** Calle Pujades 77-79 8 planta — Ring 2809 ​​​​🔗 [Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/p3Y4patgzNDUtQo2A) ​​​**What to Bring:** * ​​​Comfortable clothing to move freely * ​​​A water bottle to stay hydrated * ​​​An open heart and a willingness to let go and have fun! ​​​**Our Space:** * ​​​Is a shoe free zone * ​​​Alcohol or drugs are not permitted * ​​​We are a vegan space ​​​Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/](https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/)

🌀 **DONATION BASED** \- Please CONFIRM & COMIT on Luma 🌀 **Welcome to the Men's Tribal Gathering!!** ***This is not a therapy session...*** A small community with big vision for our collective future, a place to connect with others, with unique ideas and perspectives, holding space, **having our voice heard**. An open space for us all; to understand and feel that **we are not alone.** **Going forward** our idea is to take all that we learn and create together out in to the **real world**, not only for our personal lives or those closest to us but for others and projects looking for **support**. **Together**, as a team **forged in the fire**, getting to know each other in a way that's simply not possible with busy lives, and so many distractions around us, even in typical "social" gatherings. No single leader alone, from the ground up it will be an ongoing **collaborative effort**. If you're not a part of the core team managing logistics, themes etc. You will be encouraged/invited to lead, to host, to share you're own unique and special gifts, talents or interests in future gatherings. **Brick by brick we build this together.** ***Sunday 22nd February***, what to expect: * Welcoming (open cacao & matcha bar from 17:30) * Short intro & intentions starting promptly at 18:00 * Meditation, Breathwork & Body Activation * **\* Special Tribe Member Sharing** \- TBA * Body activation & Ecstatic Dance with Pneuma * Singing & Voice Activations with Snr Dragon & Gyuri * Tribe Gathering - Group connection, reflections & sharing * Closing Circle We want **like minded men**, on a mission, with a **curious desire to find balance** within the **masculine and feminine**, leaning deeply in to **vulnerability as our strength**, **empowering ourselves** to face life head on while **inspiring each other** and those around us, to **grow, to heal** old wounds but most importantly to **have a lot of fun** doing it, **enjoying the process** even in the shadow work, **taking fun and play seriously** because life is way too serious sometimes. We all have a lot of responsibilities and so, we can experience so much release with **playful movement, dance, vocalising, harmonising, being creative and connected with others on similar path of life**... Our **core values** will stem from a **mutual respect**, of each other, of our time and energy put in to creating and participating, of the space we hold, the space itself (where the event will be hosted or where we venture outside) and that we are all as similar as we are different. There will be a **united, strong accountability theme**, pushing each other to **dive deeper** and **explore ideas**, learning to **communicate in a healthier way** so we have something fundamental for our everyday lives. **We are not perfect** and do not desire to be, only to be better, not than others but versions of ourselves, to **fully experience and enjoy life**, and have our **community to lean on**. **New bonds, friendships, a whole new tribe** 📍 **Where:** Samanà Space, Poblenou 🕖 **When:** Sunday 22nd February \| 18:00 \- 22:00 ## ​**FAQ** ​​**Do I need to know how to dance or sing?** Absolutely NOT!! This is a space to express yourself freely. ​​**I've never done something like this, is this weird?** Come with an open mind, a desire to explore new ideas and play! The main goal is to be authentically YOURSELF while respecting those around you. ​​**Are there any rules?** As with any gathering at Samanà Space; singing circle or ecstatic dance journey etc, we will be without shoes inside. It is a **vegan**, **alcohol/drug free place. (Respectfully, please do not bring or enter the space with any food or drink not in line with this, even if you do not plan to consume it inside)** And of course, consent is fundamental if you want to engage with anyone else. ​​**Should I eat before coming?** We recommend eating a light meal that won't affect your capacity to move. If you do bring any drinks or snacks, please remember we are a vegan space. There will be healthy snacks, food and drink towards the end. ​​**How should I dress?** Comfortable clothes for you to move and dance. You might want to bring clothes to change afterward, if you like. # ​Logistics ## ​​Time ​​Doors open at **5.30pm**. To ensure a proper journey for everyone, **doors will close** at **6pm.** ## ​​Location ​​**Samanà Space** (🔗 [IG](https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/)) **Address:** Calle Pujades 77-79 8 planta — Ring 2809 ​​🔗 [Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/p3Y4patgzNDUtQo2A) ​**What to Bring:** * ​Comfortable clothing to move freely * ​A water bottle to stay hydrated ​**Our Space:** * ​Is a shoe free zone * ​Alcohol or drugs are not permitted * ​We are an ethical, vegan space

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 🌿

**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. It’s a chance to meet new friends, express yourself through movement, and experience the emotional healing that comes from music and rhythm. No dance experience needed — just bring your energy, an open heart, and your dancing shoes! Dance is freedom. Dance is healing. Dance is fun.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

**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.

Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships? Are you 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 held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
