Manifesting Recovery
💡Recovery is not just about healing what’s broken — it’s about remembering your power to restore wholeness.

Overview
Forest bathing is a concept that encourages people to feel and connect with nature by relaxing and immersing themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually.
By walking slowly, breathing, observing, and using the five senses to perceive the sounds, light, taste, and textures of the forest, it promotes health, enhances well-being, and reduces stress. The forest itself possesses wonderful substances, such as phytoncides, which positively benefit the human immune and neurological systems.
ANFT's forest bathing is not just simple strolling, but a deep natural therapy practice. The guide will lead participants through a series of sensory activation activities, such as deep listening, breathing, mindfulness, slow movements, tea tasting, and sharing. Through this process, participants can connect with nature more deeply, achieving healing and recovery of body and mind.
Additionally, ANFT's forest bathing emphasizes community interaction and connection. It believes that sharing experiences and emotions in a natural environment can enhance relationships between people and create deeper community bonds on a collective level.
In summary, forest bathing is a journey to connect with your feelings, enjoy and share with friends around you, and re-engage with the myriad elements of nature. It is a journey to slow down without any religious background, suitable for friends of different ages and backgrounds to participate.
Book Discussion: The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat by O Sacks
Unlike the usual BYOB format of this group, this is an **assigned reading format.** **You are expected to have read some of the book** to join the discussion :)
About the book:
# The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat: And Other Clinical Tales
Tells the stories of individuals afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual aberrations: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; who are stricken with violent tics and grimaces or who shout involuntary obscenities; whose limbs have become alien; who have been dismissed as retarded yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.
If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales remain, in Dr. Sacks’s splendid and sympathetic telling, deeply human. They are studies of life struggling against incredible adversity, and they enable us to enter the world of the neurologically impaired, to imagine with our hearts what it must be to live and feel as they do. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of medicine’s ultimate responsibility: “the suffering, afflicted, fighting human subject.”

電影精選<狗牙>2009似曾相識的故事
《狗牙》(Dogtooth, 2009)– 導演:尤格·藍西莫(Yorgos Lanthimos)
- 📌 劇情簡介:一對父母將三個孩子從小隔離在家,灌輸他們虛假的語言與知識,讓他們完全無法與外界溝通。
- 🎯 主題關聯:孩子們被「訓練」成無法表達真實語言與思想的人,極具象徵性。

[文章]將踏入2026第一碗心靈雞湯<內向小雞的福音>
🐣《內向小雞的福音》
從前,在一座不太熱鬧的農場裡,住著一隻叫小米的小雞。牠不愛在人群中跳舞,也不喜歡參加雞圈裡的鬥嘴比賽。每天,大部分的時間,小米都靜靜地坐在角落,看著雲飄,看著風走,看著其他小雞嘰嘰喳喳地跑來跑去。
有些雞覺得牠怪異,有些雞說牠冷淡,也有一些雞直接忘了牠的存在。小米不是沒聽見那些話,只是牠把這些聲音收進心裡,像收進一個沒有回音的盒子裡,讓它們靜靜地沉下去。
但其實,小米的世界一點也不小。
牠會記住每一場雨開始落下的聲音,也會在每次黃昏時分,看著太陽怎麼一點一點染紅田野。牠知道哪一棵樹下有最柔軟的泥土,知道哪一隻小鴨最近心情不好,也知道農夫每天早晨喝的不是咖啡,而是溫牛奶加蜂蜜。
牠沒說出來,不代表牠沒感覺。牠只是習慣了用安靜的方式,擁抱這個世界。
有一天,農場辦了一場「誰是最有趣的小雞」比賽。其他小雞爭先恐後地表演唱歌跳舞、模仿貓叫、講冷笑話。全場笑聲不斷。小米在角落,看著,笑了下,沒打算參加。
就在比賽快結束時,天空突然下起了雨,場地一片混亂,大家四處奔逃。這時,小米慢慢地走向中央,抬頭看了一眼天,然後輕聲說道:「這場雨,會在七分鐘後停。你們不用怕。」
大家停下來,看著牠。
七分鐘後,雨真的停了。
從那天起,其他小雞開始注意到這隻安靜的小雞。牠不擅長表演,但牠知道天氣、懂得觀察,也從不打擾別人。牠不搶風頭,但牠總是在每個需要的時候,剛剛好地出現。
小米沒變得多話,也沒變得喧鬧。牠還是那隻坐在角落的小雞。但奇妙的是,那個角落,開始有其他小雞坐下來了。有的只是想靜靜,有的只是想有人可以不說話地陪著。
🐤 給所有內向的小雞:
你不需要變得外向,才值得被喜歡。
你不需要大聲說話,才有存在的重量。
你靜靜地在,就已經足夠美好。
這世界,其實一直在等你,用你的方式,發光。

Communications
## **Communications**
*Talking, texting, typing — the choreography of staying connected.*
This week, the focus is on **how people communicate in public** — phones, gestures, conversations, glances, and distractions.
We’re surrounded by it:
* Heads tilted toward screens
* People talking, laughing, deciding
* Fingers tapping out messages
* Cables dangling from pockets
* Video calls on sidewalks
* Loud Bluetooth conversations no one asked to overhear
* Quiet moments of connection—or isolation—in a crowd
Let’s photograph **what communication looks like today**, out on the street. Person to person, person to device, person to the world.
***
### What to Look For:
* **People mid-call** — expressive gestures, facial tension, pacing
* **Texting and typing** — heads down, thumbs moving, lost in thought
* **Groups talking** — animated, laughing, arguing, leaning in
* **This isn't just phone** — its about people sharing ideas, jokes, decisions and commentary
* **One-sided conversations** — people speaking into the air via earbuds
* **Body language** — implications to the person nearby, or hardware device; posture shaped by headphones, screens, or social cues
* **Solo moments** — someone sitting alone, preoccupied with their screen
This is about **motion, emotion, and connection and disconnection** — how we communicate *with, without*, or *through* devices
***
### Approach & Style Ideas:
* Shoot **fast** — gestures and expressions come and go quickly
* Use a **longer lens** if you want to keep distance
* Or go **wide and close** to emphasize context and contrast
* Try **candid street portraits** of people mid-gesture
* Look for **layers** — someone talking in the foreground, someone texting in the back
* Play with **reflection** — phones in windows, faces in screens
* Go for **motion blur** if it helps tell the story of urgency or distraction
***
### Why This Matters:
We’re all constantly communicating — but often, we’re not really *present*.
This assignment is a way to document the **modern rituals of connection** — or perhaps, **disconnection**.
It’s a chance to photograph the **little human dramas** happening everywhere: the argument on or off the phone, the joke shared, the waiting, the searching, the scrolling.
***
### Meet-Up Details:
**Start:** 2:30 PM
**Location:** Mong Kok MTR Exit D3, street level, by the phone booth—how appropriate!
**Debrief:** 4:00 PM at Couch Club (subject to change).
G/F T.O.P. Building, 700 Nathan Road, Mong Kok.
Let’s talk about what we saw — and what people *didn’t* see, while staring into their screens.
***
### After the Walk:
Post up to **5-7 images** that capture **communication in action** — or in absence.
Look for **emotion, contrast, and expression**.
What does it look like when people are reaching out — and what does it look like when they’re not?
COMMENT on your fellow photographers work. Constructive criticism is welcome, but the idea is to be involved.

From Stability to Stewardship
A Biblical & Practical Path to Financial Freedom
This is not just a money class.
This is a restoration space.
The I AM Worthy of Ownership™ Path is a 12-step, sister-centered journey for women who are ready to build financial stability without shame, fear, or pressure—and to do it in a way that honors both wisdom and the spirit.
Many women don’t struggle with money because they lack discipline or intelligence. They struggle because of unhealed experiences, survival patterns, and the quiet belief that they are “behind” or “disqualified.” This series gently challenges those beliefs while offering practical tools for peace, clarity, and long-term planning.
Together, we will talk honestly about:
Releasing shame and money anxiety
Building stability as a form of self-respect and spiritual discipline
Understanding money as a tool, not a source of worth
Managing debt with clarity instead of condemnation
Preparing for life’s unexpected moments without fear
Laying a calm foundation for future ownership and legacy
Each session blends practical financial education with reflection, conversation, and encouragement. There is no pressure to share personal numbers or experiences. You are welcome to speak, journal quietly, or simply listen.
This is not about hustle.
This is not about perfection.
This is about alignment, wisdom, and peace.
Who this series is for:
Women who are starting over or rebuilding
Women who want stability without stress
Women preparing for future ownership or housing decisions
Women who want their financial lives to reflect wholeness, not fear
No prior financial knowledge is required.
Come as you are. Bring a notebook.
Leave a little lighter than you arrived.
Light refreshments will be served along with 30 minutes of networking.
Free In-Person Event: Handle Self-Confidence & Motivation to Achieve Your Goals
This is an in-person meeting.
Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken? Do you get in the way of your own goals? We will discuss the real source of all this, what holds you back in life, and how to handle it so you can achieve more successful and happier living.
Perhaps you get weighed down with negative emotions you can't seem to shrug off. Or find yourself doing strange and irrational things - not really being yourself. We will cover why that is and tools that work to help you unearth your self, your self-confidence and motivation.
This meeting will help you learn about how to effectively overcome:
-Out-of-control unwanted emotions
-Low self-esteem
-Anxiety
-Negativity
-Stress
-Irrational fears
-Traumatic or painfully emotional incidents
-Breakups
-Betrayals
-Feeling like you're not really yourself
-Self-doubt...
We will discuss how to unleash the inner you and tap into your true potential. So come to this online meetup!
This meeting is sponsored by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio
Philosophy of Friendship: What are the bases of "friendship"?
As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections.
* So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists?
* Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not.
* Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree?
* In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends?
* Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways?
* Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond:
* **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases.
* **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change.
* **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours.
* **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:**
* **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting.
* **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify.
* **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself.
* **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences.
* **Self-Love and Friendship:**
* Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself.
* They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue).
* A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others.
* Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!

Free in Person Meeting - Get Over Losses and Betrayls
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships?
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can 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.

Free in Person Meeting - Get Over Losses and Betrayls
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships?
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can 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!
