Release & Relax Gong Sound Bath Release & Relax Gong Sound Bath is a restorative sound experience designed to help the body unwind and the mind settle into stillness. During this session, the deep, resonant vibrations of the gong create calming waves of sound that move gently through the space. These layered tones help release built-up tension, quiet the mind, and encourage the nervous system to shift into a state of deep relaxation. As the sound resonates through the body, it supports slower breathing, softens physical tightness, and allows mental and emotional stress to gradually dissolve. The immersive sound journey invites you to fully let go, restoring a sense of balance and inner calm. You leave feeling relaxed, grounded, and refreshed with renewed clarity and ease. https://www.eversports.de/org/activity/22d689a2-924c-48ce-9a22-fa2ee2859d8c

### **🌿 Watercolour Herbarium: A Sensory Workshop** Do you know which herbs boost memory? Which ones calm your body, support digestion, or help you sleep? Join us for a unique 4-day watercolour journey where art meets nature, observation, and everyday wisdom. **In this workshop, we will create our own illustrated herbarium — a personal catalogue of plants — while working directly from real, fresh herbs from my little balcony garden.** You’ll learn how to observe their shapes, textures, and colours, and translate them into delicate watercolour studies. But this is more than painting. Each day, we’ll explore a different selection of herbs like oregano, rosemary, mint, basil and more — learning how they grow, what they’re traditionally used for, and how they can support your body and wellbeing. **We’ll touch them, smell them, paint them… and even taste them in teas and infusions,** engaging all our senses to truly connect with each plant. ✨ What to expect: * Guided watercolour sessions (all levels welcome) * Real herbs to observe and paint from life * Gentle introduction to herbal knowledge & home remedies * A growing collection of your own illustrated herbarium * A calm, sensory, and inspiring atmosphere * Tips about how to grow these herbs at home during this spring By the end of the 4 days, you’ll leave not only with a beautiful series of paintings, but also with a deeper understanding of the plants around you — and how they can become part of your everyday rituals. The workshop includes **four classes**, but you’re also welcome to join individual sessions (when available).

Egal, ob du an deinem Projekt weiterarbeiten oder einfach nur die Atmosphäre genießen möchtest – du bist herzlich willkommen! **English** Grab your needles, your current project, and come knit with us 🍻🧶 This is a relaxed Saturday social knitting meetup in a local pub—perfect for anyone who enjoys knitting in good company. All skill levels are welcome, from absolute beginners to seasoned pros, but this isn’t a teaching workshop. Think more chatting, laughing, and stitching together than structured instruction.

**Some connections announce themselves in the very first touch of rope.** — **A rope salon for solo attendees and others open to meet and mingle, experience Shibari (Japanese rope bondage)** both in the form of a live session (improvised performance) and hands on through a series of guided exercises where you will be paired up with other solo attendees. — **More info & sign up —> [for women/FLINTA](https://spnkd.com/the-first-tie-women-flinta/) \| [for men](https://spnkd.com/the-first-tie-men/)** PS: All are welcome and prices are equal for all. Separate tickets are there to keep a somewhat even balance in the room. — The First Tie is an evening for the rope-curious to arrive unpartnered, meet, and see what can happen when a rope is passed between strangers. Come alone, come open, come ready to notice who the room places in front of you. You might leave with a new practice partner, a new friend, or the beginning of something you didn’t arrive expecting. In the spring of 2024, at the European Rigger & Model Exchange in Berlin, Ena and Roxu tied together for the first time. It was a rope speed-dating event: strangers paired briefly, then rotated on. Except they didn’t quite rotate. Something passed between them in that first tie that neither of them had words for yet. A few minutes of rope became a conversation, became a collaboration, became a life shared in and out of ropes. This evening is, in some sense, a return to that moment. — **The Performance** Ena and Roxu open the night by taking the floor together for a live demo that reaches back toward that very first contact: the not-yet-knowing, the quiet listening, the slow discovery of another person’s weight and breath and edges through rope. A recreation of a first tie, performed now with all the knowledge of what it became. It will be intimate to watch. — **A Mixer** After the performance, the evening opens into a mixer. Through a series of short, guided exchanges, you will be paired with other guests to explore what it actually feels like to give and receive rope with someone you have only just met. Each round is brief. Each pairing is different. The pace is unhurried, the pressure low. What you are paying attention to is the space between two people when one picks up a rope and the other follows. You may be surprised by what you notice. You may be surprised by who you notice it with. Ena and Roxu hold the room throughout, guiding each exchange with care and reading the energy of the space. Nothing is required of you except curiosity and a willingness to be present. **Timing** 19:30 – Doors open, welcome drinks, arrival 20:00 – Doors close 20:15 – Welcoming introduction and setting of intentions 20:30 – Performance by Ena & Roxu 21:30 – Guided rope exchanges 22:30 – Open salon: conversation, connection, drinks and bites 00:30 – End of night Snacks and drinks are served throughout the evening. **Level** Beginner friendly. No previous rope experience needed; Ena and Roxu will demonstrate a few simple opening ties to get you started. If you have tied before, you are equally welcome. The format rewards attentiveness over skill. — **Who this is for** Singles and individuals of all genders, sexualities, and bodies who want to explore rope without arriving with a partner, or who want to practice with people beyond their usual circle. **More info & sign up —> [for women/FLINTA](https://spnkd.com/the-first-tie-women-flinta/) \| [for men](https://spnkd.com/the-first-tie-men/)**

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell).
