Chinese New Year Calligraphy
Title: Chinese Calligraphy in the Park 🖌️🍃 (Beginner-Friendly)
Description:
Join us for a calm, aesthetic outdoor session of Chinese calligraphy in the park — a slow, mindful practice where nature becomes your studio.
We’ll begin with a short story: how Chinese characters were inspired by observing nature, and why in calligraphy the most important thing isn’t speed, but attention.
Then we’ll practice step by step:
• Brush basics: how to hold the brush, where to press, where to stay light
• Water practice: strokes on water-writing sheets (they appear, then fade — no fear of mistakes)
• Ink practice: training sheets with ink for deeper, more confident movement
• Final piece: your chosen character on rice paper
(Optional: add a fingerprint stamp as a personal mark of the moment)
You’ll leave with your finished calligraphy — a small art object and a memory of a quiet, beautiful morning.
What to bring:
Comfortable clothes, a bottle of water, and a curious mind.
All calligraphy materials are provided (brush, ink, water sheets, paper).
Level:
Open to beginners — no experience needed.
Meeting point:
📍 Parc Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves Parc Naturel Départemental Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves
🕒 22.02.2026, 10:00 AM (duration: 1–1.5 hours)
Spots:
Limited to keep the atmosphere calm. Please RSVP.

Send me a message on Meetup or DM “Calligraphy in the Park” for the next dates.

Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
This is a free, in person meeting.
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.
