Intimate gatherings, heart-centered workshops, soulful conversations and lots of questions and answers over coffee! I host the Antiquity United Circle regularly, designed to bring back the village in an attempt to fight loneliness. I stress on bringing our community back together again by sharing all our intimate stories with each other - because somewhere we forgot to be raw, open and vulnerable. Somewhere we started hiding our truths that we became too afraid to talk about with our own family maybe because we didn't want to upset them, or maybe because they wouldn't get it - or maybe we have tried and they really just never did - or worse still, maybe we never even learned how to talk to them. Or maybe we just don't have anyone. No family, no "real" friends. Or perhaps these are stories we are too scared to tell others because we are stuck behind the facade of our perfect smiles, stories we bury deep inside of us because we feel no one will understand, nor even care. Stories we keep pushing deep within us just because we have other, "more important" things to deal with- the real life stuff you know! Or other people to take care of rather than our own self. Until those stories become so monumental within every fibre in our bodies that sometimes we want to finish it all I know. Because I am that someone, who wanted to finish it all. But I wasn't meant to. I guess I had to go through decades of loneliness and fight through every battle, while keeping that perfectly happy smile during the day, and thinking of ways and means to end it all by night. And yet, I just kept going, somehow. Today, after going through every battle internally and alone in my life, I am here standing tall and strong. I’m ready to build a community because I know first hand that Second Chances is a real thing because I was finally able to break free from it all. Today I stand tall and strong, ready to share my story, and tell you that it is possible to break free. And I want to also shout out from rooftops that there is no bravado in fighting alone. We NEED each other, that Loneliness can not become the new age epidemic, I refuse to become another statistic, and I refuse to let someone else breaking within become one. Because we matter! You matter. And I matter! Exemplifying through my own story after extreme states of hopelessness and loneliness and extreme final thoughts, Second Chances ARE possible and beautifully so! I have therefore formed The Antiquity United Circle, as part of my not-for-profit venture Vision One World for BOTH Women and Men in our society who are otherwise considered a write-off after a certain age, be it in the work place, be it on the home front, be it a narrative we have convinced our own selves of…But thus far, no further! I know there are people out there at this very moment thinking about how to end it all. But I want to reach out to you that it doesn't have to be that way: that I am one of many examples in this world, here to tell you openly- no more hiding in shame, that I was there. But no matter where you are in life, it’s NOT the end- nothing ever is. So come and join me, form the Antiquity United Circle. Here I will talk to you openly, honestly about my life, no filters, and invite you to share your story- no judgement, only deep understanding of everyone's unique journeys. I am not intending to find solutions to your 'problems' - that is something you must find on your own, but I promise to share things that you perhaps might draw similarities from, and see that you're truly not alone. The Antiquity United Circle will be that family for you, that some of us were never blessed to have. And THAT will make a difference, I promise you So! Let's bring back our village we lost a long time ago and come and join me in my coffee and conversations I host regularly. There will be activities planned throughout the year, so come on, time to live, breathe, and find the one answer that finally set me free!! Just one request please: the gatherings are always free of charge, however, I do require an RSVP please- and also, if you do confirm your attendance, please: show up 😊 Thanks, and see you!

**Join globally respected cardiologist , Dr. Mohit Gupta, as we explore how our thoughts impact our physical health and overall well-being.** Our thoughts are far more powerful than we often realize. A single thought has the capacity to influence our emotions, shape our health, strengthen or strain our relationships, and quietly guide the course of our lives. The Power of One Thought is an insightful session that explores how conscious and intentional thinking impacts the brain, heart, and overall well-being. Through a thoughtful blend of scientific evidence and meditative practice, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how thought patterns influence stress, emotional resilience, mental clarity, and long-term health. In this session, Dr. Mohit Gupta seamlessly integrates modern neuroscience and cardiology with the wisdom of Raj Yoga meditation, offering practical insights into emotional regulation, cardiovascular health, and the slowing of biological aging. He uses his own life stories of Belief and Resilience. The experience is designed to be reflective, engaging, and immediately applicable to both personal and professional life. This session is ideal for individuals seeking inner clarity, emotional balance, and a deeper understanding of how one consciously chosen thought can create lasting transformation. **About Dr. Mohit Gupta** *Dr. Mohit Dayal Gupta, MD, DM, FACC, FRCP, is a globally respected interventional cardiologist and Director–Professor of Cardiology at GB Pant Hospital, New Delhi, and serves as Cardiologist to the Parliament of India. A four-time TEDx speaker, he has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific publications and is a Fellow of leading international cardiology institutions.* *A distinguished clinician–scientist, Dr. Gupta’s current research focuses on the effects of Raj Yoga meditation on biological aging and cardiovascular resilience. Associated with the Brahma Kumaris since childhood, he is widely known for his rare ability to bridge cardiology, neuroscience, meditation, and spirituality, offering a compelling perspective on holistic health and conscious leadership.* Fri., Jan. 30th, 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm.
