Consciousness

**About the experience: 🍃༄** Winding things down in December creates the perfect rhythm to immerse yourself in nature. This practice of **natural embodiment** **is a not a hike nor is it meant to be therapy** \- it is a slow\, reflective\, and embodied practice\. During the session, we move at an unhurried pace and pause often. Through nature-inspired invitations, such as listening to the sand, holding a natural object, or resting in stillness — we allow nature to meet us where we are, without trying to fix or force anything. This practice draws on somatic awareness, gentle attention, and non-linear exploration. Experiences may feel calming, emotional, grounding, or quietly insightful — each person’s experience will be different. There is no expectation to perform, share, or achieve anything. You are welcome to arrive exactly as you are. This session is open to anyone who feels drawn to slow down and listen — to themselves, to nature, and to what emerges in the space between. 🌳 **Date:** Saturday, 27 December 2025 **Time:** 5.30pm-7:00pm **Location:** Starbucks - Parkland Green, East Coast Park **Registration:** Through [meetup.com](http://meetup.com/) or Eventbrite **On donations:** A recommended donation of $20 has been established for this event. Learning from past events, it was suggested that a flat fee was given so that things are simpler, so here I am trying that! **Socials:** [https://www.instagram.com/terence.with.nature/](https://www.instagram.com/terence.with.nature/) [https://www.youtube.com/@OnThePaths](https://www.youtube.com/@OnThePaths) Feel free to look at my posts - it will give you more information on my approach :) My youtube channel is also available if you wish to hear my rambles. **Things to bring:** \- Water Bottle \- Comfortable clothes for the forest \- Sun protections \(hat\, sunscreen\, etc\.\) \- Repellents \(optional\) \- Umbrella/Poncho \(optional\) \- Small snack \(optional\) **About me:** My dream is to reignite our connection with nature and bring us city folk closer to nature and ourselves! In my previous work, I partnered with horses and nature to conduct experiential sessions. My certifications are a unique blend of having a social work degree, Equine Assisted Learning and Coaching certifications, and various experiential courses in natural spaces around the world. Okay, that's all I'll write about myself :p **Q&A:** Where do we meet? * We'll start at 5.30pm and meet meet around Starbucks in Parkland Green. I should be standing there awkwardly, probably in blue track pants. Is this Forest Therapy? * It can be, if that is what the experience means to you. I do not claim to facilitate Forest Therapy as that is not my training or intention. This is purely my own craft and passion, led by my heart and expertise. Therapy puts power outside you - but I believe that power, and nature, resides in you. Is this religious? * I come without religious leanings. However, you are free to integrate religion into your experience! I often find these experiences step between the physical and spiritual realm, and that can exist outside of religion. What if it rains? * If it rains, it depends what you want to do. If you need shelter, we will go to a suitable spot. If you want to dance in the rain, I'm sure the rain will only welcome you :)

Sufi Meditation is a practical and proven spiritual technique. Our meditation is fundamentally different from others as we do not focus on the body but on the soul.

This process helps you connect more meaningfully with yourself and others, while setting clear intentions to manifest your heart’s desires.

We close the session by letting the oracle cards bring you insightful messages that your soul wants you to know, and guide your path towards self-love and discovery.

Amidst the fast-paced nature of today’s world, finding time for rest has peculiarly transformed into a form of luxury. Sleep and relaxation play pivotal roles in allowing the body to unwind, heal, and regain balance.

🏛️ **WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hg7zL8ClpzM3agJCvw5HDS), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though! 💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * ​What will we talk about? What's the topic? ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hg7zL8ClpzM3agJCvw5HDS). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hg7zL8ClpzM3agJCvw5HDS) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All.** ✨ Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in over 20 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ \*\*\* Join our [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hg7zL8ClpzM3agJCvw5HDS) 👈 Follow us on [Instagram](www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈 Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈

**From who you were → to who you’re becoming.** ​ As 2025 comes to a close, this is an invitation to pause, reflect, and *reclaim your identity* before stepping into 2026. ​The **Time Capsule Workshop** isn’t about resolutions. It’s about **integration** — turning lived experiences, fragments, and lessons into clarity and direction. ​Through creative upcycling and guided reflection, you’ll: * ​Revisit 2025 with intention (not judgment) * ​Translate experiences into personal meaning * ​Create a tangible identity artifact that anchors your next chapter * ​Leave with insight, emotional closure, and renewed perspective ​ ✨ Something old. Something new. Something true to you. ​ Direction here: [bit.ly/CloopPrimax](https://bit.ly/CloopPrimax)

Come into this session, to ground your spirit and connect you with the healing energies of your true nature and let the vibrations of the gong and singing bowls will wash over you, dissolving stress and restoring calm.

The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.

Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular. Food and drinks will be provided at the event.

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
