I'm Stephanie (SFWN), writing from Pittsburgh (Allegheny County, Pennsylvania), in the U.S. of A. I'm hosting this virtual SU&W meeting every Saturday mornings via Zoom (and Google Meet). Please use my (personal, pro) Zoom link: **https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82098174374?pwd=NmdkQnBDeDlxTGM1eUFlVGhDdmRSUT09** **Meeting ID: 820 9817 4374** **Passcode: 050989** Official description: "Shut Up & Write hosts free in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer, regardless of genre or skill level, has access to the community, accountability, and resources they need to be successful in their personal writing goals. Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, an hour of focused writing, and a final check-in to share the hour's progress." For more information about our events, visit https://shutupwrite.com. What to Expect We'll introduce ourselves and then write for an hour. Then we'll come back together and share what we were working on or what we accomplished during the hour. If you're late, it's fine. If you need to leave early, that's fine, too. Other Important Details: Thank you in advance for sharing.

We are meeting on ZOOM! Meetings are still formatted to allow 15 minutes of sharing, one hour of writing, and a 15-minute wrap-up chat at the end. We are currently offering writing sessions online Wednesdays from 6 to 7:30 PM and Sundays from 1:30 to 3 PM. • What we'll do: We'll be meeting for an hour and a half to write our own personal projects, starting and ending with 15-minute discussions. • What to have with you: Pen, notebook, laptop, whatever suits your fancy! **Note: We sometimes have to change the Zoom URL right before the meeting starts--please double-check the Zoom link on the Meetup.com event to make sure you have the right one!**

Nu: online! Doe een gratis proefles mee: stuur een mail naar: susan@nt2cafe.nl dan stuur ik je een link naar Zoom. We gaan samen een roman lezen (ook thuis) en spreken hierover en je krijgt hierover schrijfopdrachten. Heel goed voor het verhogen van je woordenschat eninteressant omdat we romans/verhalen lezen van literaire schrijvers. De leesclub is voor deelnemers van B2 en hoger.

Fun, uplifting and easy to follow! Our dance time depends on the weather. Call or write to confirm the time. Social distancing.

We are now meeting virtually! Join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/GUZpAHHef6 Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 4 pm on Sunday afternoons. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 4:00 - Chat, share goals for the session if you like. 4:15 - Mute your camera and mike when timer starts: write for 1 hour. 5:15 - (the end) chat / log off when you need to / Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you on Discord.

Attend a free seminar on how to have successful and lasting relationships. At this seminar you will learn: How to spot and handle negative and toxic relationships. How to get through the "rough patches" in a relationship. How to choose the right people to work with. The three things that make or break any relationship. How to make a good relationship great. All are welcome. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. Hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

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.
