Reading Harry Potter™ for a second time, after having watched the films more times than I care to admit, I began to reflect on the way evil is portrayed throughout the story. Two aspects of this representation stand out. The first is the idea of the “evil house,” where certain traits are implicitly associated with moral corruption. The second is the cyclical return of evil in a very specific and familiar form. In the series, it is primarily the return of *He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named* that triggers alarm and mobilization. Meanwhile, other forms of injustice, such as the rigid hierarchy within the magical world or the enslavement of magical creatures, persist largely unquestioned by both the community and its institutions, including the Ministry of Magic. This raises an interesting question: do we, like the characters in the story, tend to recognize and react only to the forms of evil we already know, while overlooking similar but less familiar ones? This debate will use the world of Harry Potter as a starting point to explore how societies identify, prioritize, and respond to wrongdoing. Are we more sensitive to threats that resemble past dangers? Do new or less visible forms of harm go unchallenged because they do not fit our expectations? And when faced with such forms, should we attempt to engage with them, reform them, or simply reject them altogether? Join us for an evening that blends a touch of magic with critical reflection, as we explore what this story can reveal about our own blind spots in recognizing and responding to harm in the real world. This debate will follow a British Parliamentary format with eight debaters split into **four teams of two.** Participants who wish to speak are highly encouraged to bring a paper and pen. You are welcome to participate even if you have no prior debating experience. We aim for debates that are respectful, constructive, and welcoming: * **Respect ideas and people** Listen actively, stay quiet while others speak, and debate arguments, not identities or beliefs. * **Be concise and civil** Keep questions short and relevant; avoid hostility, hate speech, or discrimination. * **Respect boundaries and time** No unwanted advances or suggestive behavior; arrive on time to avoid disrupting the debate. * **Follow moderators** They guide the discussion and ensure fairness.

From Overwhelm to Ease - an EFT Tapping Workshop By Roshanak Zaredoost Brussels, 13 May 2026 Rgeister Here: https://www.imaginationclub.org/brussels/from_overwhelm_to_ease.php Living abroad is an adventure - and also quietly exhausting. New country, new language, new identity. Your nervous system is working overtime, even when life looks good on the outside. In this hands-on workshop, you'll discover Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping): a gentle, evidence-based tool that combines acupressure and mindset work to help you release stress, calm anxiety, and reconnect with yourself - wherever in the world you are. What you'll take away: \* A practical tapping routine you can use anytime, anywhere - in 5 minutes or less - to bring your nervous system back to calm. \* A deeper understanding of the stress cycle - why your body reacts the way it does, and how to interrupt it with compassion rather than willpower. \* Personalised tapping phrases that speak to your specific challenges - loneliness, identity, overwhelm, not fitting in - so the tool actually feels like yours. \* A sense of being seen and understood - in a room full of people who get it, because they're living it too. No experience needed - just bring yourself, exactly as you are. You'll leave with a tool for life and a little more peace in your body. Join us for From "Overwhelm to Ease" and take the first step toward a calmer, freer, more authentic you. About Roshanak Born in Iran and living abroad for over 41 years, she has spent a lifetime navigating the beautiful complexity of building a life far from home. That journey - with all its richness, displacement, and reinvention - is at the heart of everything she does as an EFT coach. Her path to EFT was forged through her own transformation. She has walked through financial dependency, emotional dependency, abusive relationships, overeating, and the quiet suffering of a woman who had lost her voice - and come out the other side. Not by chance, but through deep, committed inner work. EFT was the tool that helped her break free from limiting beliefs one by one, and she has never stopped using it on herself. That ongoing personal practice is the foundation of everything she brings to her clients. Today, as an EFT coach whose practice is rooted in lived experience, she specialises in guiding women abroad through stress, anxiety, and overwhelm - helping them calm their nervous system, shed what no longer serves them, and step into a life of authenticity and self-love. Fluent in 6 languages and passionate about human connection, she meets every woman exactly where she is - with compassion, understanding, and the quiet confidence of someone who has been there. Her greatest joy is watching her clients step into their own freedom - emotionally balanced, self-aware, and unapologetically themselves. You can learn more about Roshanak and her work at...

Welcome to our weekly event in the upstairs room of The Sister Café, rue Chair et Pain 3, one block from the Grand Place. Please get there early enough to order your drink at the bar first. Thank you! After introductions we will collect questions from the group participants, choose one by voting then discuss it for an hour. Then most of us stay for drinks and bizarre conversations. Past questions have been wide and not confined to academic philosophy: What is a genuine friend? Is social media turning us into emotional zombies? Do we lose some of the experience of things by defining them? Are we driven by sex? Is loneliness a personal failure? Is morality relative? **Crucially, be kind and respectful and generous** in your disagreements; remember how much you personally enjoy someone else proving you wrong before celebrating your cutting counterexamples.

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. 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 sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.
