ALL THE WOMEN IN ME: meet, greet & embrace all the sub personalities within
ALL THE WOMEN IN ME: meet, greet & embrace all the sub personalities within
**🌸 ALL THE WOMEN IN ME 🌸** ***INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY SPECIAL*** A Journaling Workshop for Every Version of You Let's be honest – we're all carrying around an entire committee of women inside us. You know them well: the perfectionist who color-codes her calendar, the rebel who wants to dye her hair blue at 40, the inner critic who's somehow channeling your third-grade teacher, and that wild dreamer who still believes she'll learn to juggle while riding a unicycle (hey, no judging!) But hey, where are they all coming from? Let's look in the past, dive into your family's story, and see what comes up! Through guided writing exercises, we'll: * Meet your inner cast of characters (and maybe discover some surprise guests) * Explore how these different parts of you have shaped your story * Learn to embrace your contradictions (yes, you can be both a warrior and someone who cries at cat videos) * Transform self-judgment into self-acceptance (or at least a friendly eye-roll) What to bring: * Your favorite notebook (the one you've been saving for "something special" – this is it!) * A pen that makes you feel like a writer * Your sense of humor * Zero journaling experience required – seriously, even if your last diary entry was "All boys are idiots!", some time in secondary school * Who this is for: Women who are curious about their own complexity, tired of trying to fit into one-size-fits-all definitions, and ready to explore their inner world with honesty and a dash of wit. Details: * 1.5-hour workshop * Small group setting (max 10 participants) * Guided exercises, free writing, and group sharing (only if you want to – no pressure!) Come join us for an evening of self-discovery, real talk, and maybe even some surprisingly good laughs. Because getting to know yourself doesn't always have to be so serious. P.S. Your inner perfectionist wants you to know that it's totally fine to show up in sweatpants. Your inner diva suggests adding a fabulous scarf. We welcome them both. ABOUT THE ORGANIZER Hi! My name is Marusha, I'm a writer, book writing coach, journaling mentor, creator of the [Naked Words](www.mynakedwords.com) writing program, and founder of [Barcelona Journaling Festival](www.barcelonajournalingfestival.com). I preach the superpower of feel-good writing to everyone. I use journaling for self-therapy and as dynamic meditation. It also works great to boost your creativity and overcome writer's block if you feel stuck or drained.

Salir del armario con David Hartman
Salir del armario con David Hartman
(CAST) Publicar un libro hoy es más fácil que nunca. Lo que no es tan fácil es tener algo original, valiente y honesto que contar. Te invitamos a la presentación de “Salir del armario a cualquier edad” de David Hartman. David es una de estas personas que contagia su curiosidad por la vida, por la gente, además de un buen humor indestructible. Tenemos la suerte de conocerlo de algunas de las actividades de este grupo y como sabemos que hace muy poco ha publicado su primer libro le hemos pedido con mucho cariño que nos lo presente. Sus historias y algunos capítulos de su vida son para hacer un libro o una película. Hemos hablado de varias cosas divertidas que pueden pasar en la presentación pero aun no tenemos todos los detalles. El plan es: Nos vemos en el Punto, en el reservado de la parte de arriba a las 18:30h. Tenemos el espacio durante 1hora así que tenemos que ser puntuales. Después podemos tomar algo más ahí (opcional) Esta actividad no es para "vender libros\* pero si que habrá algunas copias a la venta. Es una idea nuestra, de los organizadores para promocionar el trabajo de David, alguien que, sinceramente, nos encanta tener como amigo. La presentación serà, mayoritariamente, en inglés y nos organizaremos para que todos estemos cerca de alguien que te pueda traducir si no lo hablas. Como intercambio por el espacio, Jordi de Punto BCN solo nos pide una consumición por persona. Es el único coste para participar. Este es uno de esos eventos en los que, como se dice, cuantos mas seamos, mas reiremos. Si te gusta leer, sabes que no siempre es fàcil salir del armario y te cuadra el plan, vente. Será muy bueno verte. Rafa y Pep. ........... (EN) Publishing a book today is easier than ever. What's not so easy is having something original, brave, and honest to tell. We invite you to the presentation of "Coming Out at Any Age" by David Hartman. David is one of those people who spreads curiosity about life and people, along with an indestructible sense of humor. We're lucky enough to know him from some of this group's activities, and since we know he recently published his first book, we've kindly asked him to present it to us. His stories and some chapters of his life are worthy of a book or a film. We've talked about several fun things that might happen at the presentation, but we don't have all the details yet. The plan is: We'll meet at El Punto, in the area upstairs, at 6:30 p.m. We have the space for one hour, so we need to be on time. Afterwards, we can have something else to drink there (optional). This activity isn't meant to "sell books," but there will be a few copies available. It's our idea, the organizers idea, to promote the work of David, someone we sincerely love having as a friend. The presentation will be mostly in English, and we'll arrange ourselves so everyone is near someone who can help translating if needed. In exchange for the space, Jordi from Punto BCN only asks us for one drink per person. That's the only cost to participate. This is one of those events where, as they say, the more the merrier. If you like to read, know that coming out isn't always easy, and the plan fits you, join us. It will be great to see you. Rafa and Pep. ....... (CAT) Publicar un llibre avui és més fàcil que mai. El que no és tan fàcil és tenir alguna cosa original, valenta i honesta per explicar. Et convidem a la presentació de “Sortir de l'armari a qualsevol edat” de David Hartman. David és una d'aquestes persones que encomana la curiositat per la vida, per la gent, a més d'un bon humor indestructible. Tenim la sort de conèixer-lo d'algunes de les activitats d'aquest grup i com sabem que fa poc ha publicat el seu primer llibre li hem demanat amb molt d'afecte que ens el presenti. Les seves històries i alguns capítols de la seva vida són per fer un llibre o una pel·lícula. Hem parlat de diverses coses divertides que poden passar a la presentació però encara no tenim tots els detalls. El pla és: Ens veiem al Punto Bcn, al reservat de la part de dalt a les 18:30h. Tenim l´espai durant 1hora així que hem de ser puntuals. Després podem prendre alguna cosa més aquí (opcional). Aquesta activitat no és per “vendre llibres\* però hi haurà alguns exemplars disponibles. És una idea nostra, dels organitzadors per promocionar la feina de David, algú que, sincerament, ens encanta tenir com a amic. La presentació serà, majoritàriament en ángles, i ens organitzarem entre nosaltres per fer-ne traducció. Com a intercanvi per l'espai, en Jordi del Punto BCN només ens demana una consumició per persona. És l'únic cost per participar-hi. Aquest és un d'aquests esdeveniments en què, com es diu, com més siguem, més riurem. Si t'agrada llegir, saps que no sempre és fàcil sortir de l'armari i et quadra el pla, vine! Serà molt bo veure't. Rafa i Pep.

Shut Up & Write!® Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do 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 noon on Sundays. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Contra dance March 21 (First Unitarian Universalist Church) note new time!
Contra dance March 21 (First Unitarian Universalist Church) note new time!
# **Band and caller TBA** Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** 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 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
