Startup Open Coffee In Person
In some of our cities, we run a Startup Open Coffee focused on early startup founder questions and helping early startup Investors learn more about the funding process.
We had a good conversation in the last Startup Open Coffee. Some folks have asked us to repeat it.
We will focus on the startup questions that folks have about their startup efforts and see if we as a group can find ways to help everyone make progress.
Join me at Lift99 for an Open Coffee

WOMEN'S Online Support Group [Europe-based time zones]
**GO TO EVENTBRITE FOR LINK TO MEETING:**
Recovering from Religion EUROPE BASED WOMEN'S VIRTUAL Support Group Tickets\, Multiple Dates \| Eventbrite
This is an RfR-wide event, not tied to any particular local chapter.
\*NOTE: This meeting is solely for individuals who identify as female, non-binary and gender-fluid.
The Recovering from Religion WOMEN'S chapter support group [Europe-based time zones] will meet the 2nd Tuesday of each month @ 6pm local time UK, unless the date falls on a holiday. Attendees are welcome to share, and may also decide to remain anonymous if they so choose.
The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing.
We are here to help each other through this journey.
There is no cost to attend this support group but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate
If you find you need to talk with someone before the next support meeting, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org and click on the green chat bubble in the lower left corner of the site to chat online.
If you are in need of professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at www.seculartherapy.org.
Like what RfR does? Why not volunteer! There are quite a few options. Head over to www.recoveringfromreligion.org/volunteer for more info.
Multi-Language Exchange Fridays @ RUKIS (10+ attendees)
👋 **Host** (text/call if you can't find the group)
* Alisa +372 560 49 272 (call) / +972 585 77 45 37 (WA text)
Love languages? 👅 Want to practice speaking? Come to our meetup!
*How does it work? Simple!*
👉 Make a name tag with your name and languages that you speak/learn!
👉 Look for someone who has a language you want to practice - and strike a conversation!
*Important:*
* **Be comfortable to "eavesdrop"** **on a conversation** in a fascinating language you are not ready to speak yet - "I just want to listen" is a thing! ☝😎
* If someone joins you with this intention - **don't switch to English** (as you normally would, because you don't want to exclude your friend from a conversation!) - but in this setting - **keep talking!** You are giving others an opportunity to listen! 😁👂
Well, this is it... we are looking forward to seeing you on Friday! Let's discover unexpected language matches together! 🤩

Sharp Objects - Gillian Flynn
Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn!
Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly.
Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.
