Couples Meeting Other Couples

In this iteration of the Philosophy of Life Sciences Reading group we'll explore biopolitics in the 21st century, through Byung-Chul Han's *The Burnout Society*. We'll focus on chapters 1-6, but it's a pretty short book so, if you have the time, feel free to read the whole thing. Anyone from any background is welcome! Byung-Chul Han frames neurological disorders, such as ADHD and burnout, as excesses of positivity, rather than negativities, symptoms of a society that continually demands for participation and production. Have we moved beyond disciplinary power? How should we respond to a society that demands us to be always active? And, given the recent "vibe shift", is this critique of neoliberalism even relevant? If you'd like access to the pdf, feel free to reach out to me via message. Please don’t worry too much about the RSVP list: we usually have around 5–10 people attending already. From Goodreads: Our competitive, service-oriented societies are taking a toll on the late-modern individual. Rather than improving life, multitasking, "user-friendly" technology, and the culture of convenience are producing disorders that range from depression to attention deficit disorder to borderline personality disorder. Byung-Chul Han interprets the spreading malaise as an inability to manage negative experiences in an age characterized by excessive positivity and the universal availability of people and goods. Stress and exhaustion are not just personal experiences, but social and historical phenomena as well. Denouncing a world in which every against-the-grain response can lead to further disempowerment, he draws on literature, philosophy, and the social and natural sciences to explore the stakes of sacrificing intermittent intellectual reflection for constant neural connection.

Hi Everyone, The next **Street Hypnosis/Mentalism Group** will be on **Saturday 18th April 1-5pm** As usual, it will be at **The Festival Hall (in the Southbank Centre)** which is less than 10 minutes walk from Waterloo Station. We are located in the Seventy5th Bar on the fifth floor. We will be at the far end - look out for the notice on the table, or call me 07742 542101. You can come along at any time. Many of you have previously attended various courses on hypnosis or specifically street hypnosis. This is a great opportunity to actually practice these skills - whether they are rapid or shock inductions or Mentalism type stuff. We may go out some point and involve members of the public. I am happy to lead on this. Part of the art is knowing who to approach (or not) and what to actually do when you get there. This group is also open to people who are generally interested in this aspect of hypnosis or Mentalism generally - think Derren Brown type effects. We can give you advice and hopefully, point you in the right direction re courses etc if you want to learn some of this stuff. Learn something, share something. Practice in safety and gain confidence. We cover all aspects of street, stage and party hypnosis. Have an idea of the suggestibility tests or something else you want to practice, as well as some Rapid Inductions. Also, think of a short 5 -10 minute 'routine' to use with people. All levels are welcome so don't be shy. We ask for a small fee of £5 on the day, this is purely to help pay our meetup fees. We could go for a coffee or beer afterwards, and get some practice in public situations. It's all good for confidence building. Our 'sister' group is the London Hypnosis Hub. That group is aimed more at general hypnosis and meets on the first Tuesday of every month. Feel free to join that as well if you haven't already done so. Find it here: [LONDON HYPNOSIS HUB](https://www.meetup.com/london-hypnosis-hub/events/302568932/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link) Both these groups are a great opportunity to practice and develop your skills in whichever area(s) of hypnosis you are interested in. It's also an ideal place to network and share ideas. Hope to see some of you soon.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
