Expect guided visualisation, embodied imagination, and practical tools to carry forward into daily life. **This is part of our all-day WINTER SOLSTICE GATHERING on December 20th. culminating in MEDICINA: Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Ceremony - Musical Vibes: Global Bass/Tribal Dub/Folktronica/Shamanic Soundscapes** **For more information:** [https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1974879916994?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1974879916994?aff=oddtdtcreator) **💙PLUS- NYE 2025!! - SOBER RAVE & CONSCIOUS CLUBBING.

Whether you’re longing to meet a partner, reshape your career, take bold new steps, establish healthier routines, or simply feel more connected to yourself and your life vision, this workshop supports you in uncovering your heart-felt intentions for 2026. **What is the Creative Flow Dojo®?** * Creative Flow refers to that optimal body–mind state where clarity, ease, intuition and performance align. * The Dojo is the learning space, a dedicated container for exploration, repetition, growth and mastery. Most of us have tasted moments of “creative flow,” those sometimes rare moments when everything clicks and we feel intimately connected to the best of ourselves. This workshop explores how to enter that state consciously and with intention. And we're excited to be sharing some of the Creative Flow Dojo's unique practices with you! Throughout the playshop, you’ll learn how to unfold the inner and outer conditions that support generativity, how to shift into a positive flow state where creativity, resilience and presence come online. ENVISION is a space to pause, listen, and chart the year ahead with clarity. This workshop is an anchor point at the turning of the year: a chance to name what matters, align with your deeper intentions, and step into 2026 with more confidence, focus and energy. If you’re ready to make 2026 a year of heartfelt clarity and meaningful change, join us for ENVISION and begin shaping your next chapter with purpose.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

Monday December 29th at 6PM we'll be meeting up dinner at the Pies & Pints at Easton. Feel free to bring guests. Sandwiches run about $15 and large pizzas run $20-30.
