Join an inspiring and educational flower arranging course, where we dive into the art of creating beautiful bouquets using modern techniques. The course is designed for both beginners and more experienced flower enthusiasts who want to explore different styles and learn about new trends in floral design. We begin with an introduction to classic arranging techniques and the basic principles of color and material selection. From there, we explore various styles – from romantic and wild bouquets to more minimalist and structured designs. To wrap up, we’ll focus on the contemporary bouquet – a bold and innovative style that we are proud to have helped introduce in Denmark. This style combines unique materials, asymmetry, and a playful approach to shape and texture, resulting in a truly distinctive expression. Everything you need is included: Flowers, greenery, tools, and materials will be provided – all you need to do is show up and let your creativity bloom. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the process and ensure that you leave with your own personal masterpiece and plenty of inspiration. Take part in this exciting course and gain new skills, insights into current trends, and enjoy a cozy day in great company! **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday for Jane Austen’s *P*e*rsuasion.* We were quite a large crowd, but managed still to have a meaningful exchange. Thanks to Xinxin for suggesting the book. The next book to read, by popular demand, is American novelist [Zora Neale Hurston](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zora_Neale_Hurston)’s novel *[Their Eyes Were Watching God](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37415.Their_Eyes_Were_Watching_God?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=UYWpFV2l9H&rank=1)* from 1937. Set in Florida in the early 20th century, the novel is a coming-of-age story that follows a young girl, Janie Crawford, on her journey of searching for herself, her own voice and independence. A review of the book reads: *Out of print for almost thirty years - due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist - Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature.* You can read the book [here](https://books.apple.com/dk/book/their-eyes-were-watching-god/id1570302263?l=da). It is, of course, also available as an [audiobook](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL79XEuIN26cIyEzvKcVc676mx1vMaQEdo&si=4JfJa9mW0nzSr1l1). You can also watch it, so to speak, as there’s a TV movie version from 2005 featuring Halle Berry [available as well](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ck3tc). For other resources on how to get a hold of classic books, please see the *About us* section on the front page of the group [here](https://www.meetup.com/copenhagen-classic-book-book-club/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize). We meet up on Saturday, March 21st, at 4 p.m. The location will, once again, be the Fireplace Lounge at 25hours Hotel in Pilestræde 65. I think we really found the perfect future place for the book club at the Fireplace Lounge. If you want to read more about 25hours Hotels and their hospitality towards culture and community, you can do so [here](https://25hours-hotels.com/about-us/). There is a 10% discount on drinks on the bar, just mention the discount to the staff. Also, please remember to bring your suggestion for the next classic book to read. And, please, as always, be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels respected and appreciated. In the meantime, happy reading/listening/watching or however you do it.

Communication is everything in life. You are only as successful as your ability to communicate! \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

WQC has weekly Thursday night social nights at the Westerville Java Central. Come and grab a coffee and connect with the community: low stakes, chill environment, and tasty drinks. No registration is required; come as you are.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier!

This group is brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
