Plant -Based & Mindful Eating in Shanghai
Plant -Based & Mindful Eating in Shanghai
We are delighted to introduce **Dasein Saturday Lunch Gathering**, born from our deep exploration of the sacred bond between food and spiritual practice. This is a weekly bilingual gathering for mindful connection, hosted in our private kitchen and exclusive lounge. Closed to the general public, each session is limited to just 15 seats to ensure an intimate atmosphere — and every plant-based meal is specially crafted by a **Michelin-starred chef**, blending nourishment with culinary artistry. Our guests are like-minded souls who pursue spiritual growth, inner awakening, and conscious living. Connection • Culture • Wellness • Awakening — these are our core values and shared purpose. ## Why Plant-Based? More people are moving away from animal products and embracing sustainable living—not as a passing trend, but as an inner awakening. Drawing on holistic wisdom from Dr. John Dingyi Young, Anthony William, Dr. Greger, Dr. Xu Jia, and the profound insights of *Man’s Higher Consciousness*, we journey from physical healing to expanded awareness. This is far more than “what we eat.” It is about honoring our bodies, respecting the planet, and cherishing the life in every bite. Our lunch gathering is a gateway: through mindful eating, we nourish the body, heal the soul, and awaken to a more conscious way of living. ## Event Details: **Time**: Saturday\, April 25 \| 12:00–14:00 **Location**: Kingboard Plaza, 269 Tongxie Road, Changning District, Shanghai **Language**: Bilingual (English & Chinese) **Fee**: No registration fee; minimum one plant-based set meal (¥158) order per person. **Capacity**: Limited to 15 guests **Register with Wechat:cizaiyingyu** Crafted by a Michelin-starred chef, this meal may well be the start of your new awakening.

Date & time: May 23nd 下午 14:00-17:00 风靡全球的顶级好书,心有原则,行有方圆 \|《原则》在信息爆炸、变化加速的时代,我们比任何时候都更需要一套稳定的思维框架来应对不确定性。 瑞·达利欧的《原则》正是这样一部“方法论宝典”,它将金融巨擘40余年的决策智慧转化为普适的行动指南。 达利欧认为,生活和工作都可以被视为“可优化的机器”,通过系统化的原则实现持续进化。 “Significant\.\.\.The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving\.” —The New York Tim 瑞·达利欧(Ray Dalio),全球最大对冲基金桥水基金创始人,投资界“宏观交易大师”,曾精准预测2008年金融危机 ⏰ 时间:5月23日14:00-17:00 📍 地点:上海世纪公园(具体私信) 👥 人数:10-15人 + 国际友人 💰 费用:小红书转发,公益免费 🎲 活动环节抢先看: 🎭 欢乐猜词|用身体和脑洞热个身 🧩 MBTI自我介绍|你是I人还是E人? 💫 Truth or Dare 真心话大冒险|英文版,敢玩吗? 🃏 Never have I ever|听听大家都有什么秘密 🤝 英文私董会|互为彼此的mentor 🎤 小型英式辩论|抽签即兴发言,刺激! 🗣️ 自由社交|聊到尽兴再散场 “Significant...The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving.” —The New York Times 瑞·达利欧(Ray Dalio),全球最大对冲基金桥水基金创始人,投资界“宏观交易大师”,曾精准预测2008年金融危机 Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined, and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business—and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals. —— ✨ 关于我们: 一群热爱跨文化交流的年轻人 通过英文链接志趣相投的灵魂 在轻松有趣的氛围里 练口语,交朋友,打破舒适圈 无论你英文水平如何 只要你想开口、想交流、想认识新朋友 这里都欢迎你 Event schedule **活动环节安排:** 本活动参与人群定位为上海工作和生活的喜欢英语、热爱交流分享的青年白领,及高校师生。 Other Schedule 其它环节: Heads up words guessing欢乐猜词, MBTI自我介绍 What is your personality, Never have I ever我有你没有, Truth or Dare, 真心话大冒险 英文版 英文私董会 Mentor for each other.

He argues that life, management, economics, and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges, and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses, and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve. Here, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and “the philosopher king of the financial universe” (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press. Ray Dalio is the founder and mentor of Bridgewater Associates, which, over the last forty years, has become the largest and best performing hedge fund in the world. He is the author of [#1]() New York Times Bestseller and [#1]() Amazon Business Book of the Year, Principles. Dalio has appeared on the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world as well as the Bloomberg Markets list of the 50 most influential people. He lives with his family in Connecticut. 《原则》是全球顶级投资家、桥水基金创始人瑞·达利欧倾注毕生经验写就的经典之作,被誉为“人生与管理的终极指南”。这本书不仅是一位投资大师的经验总结,更是一套应对生活与工作的系统化方法论。瑞·达利欧的《原则》是他一生经验和思考的精华,凝结了其在投资、工作和生活中遵循的基本法则。这些原则帮助他应对挑战、做出明智决策并取得了非凡的成就。 以下是《原则》一书中的100个顶级认知,它们提供了一个独特的视角和实用的框架,助你更好地理解现实、持续成长并追求有意义的人生和事业。 ▲ 瑞·达利欧,桥水基金创始人,被誉为"投资界的乔布斯" 如果你还不知道瑞·达利欧,你只需要记住这三件事: 桥水基金:他创立的对冲基金,管理资产峰值超过1600亿美元,是全世界最大的对冲基金; 两次"史诗级"预测:1987年精准预测美股崩盘,2008年金融危机前提前布局,为客户赚得盆满钵满; 极度透明文化:他在桥水推行一种近乎"残酷"的透明文化——任何人都可以当面批评任何人,包括他自己。 但达利欧最了不起的,不是他赚了多少钱。 而是他把"如何做出正确决策"这件事,变成了一套可以复制的原则体系 你当下的所有人生结果, 全是自己一次次选择的总和… 瑞·达利欧(Ray Dalio),全球最大对冲基金桥水基金创始人,投资界“宏观交易大师”,曾精准预测2008年金融危机 。《原则》(2017)是其40年人生与商业经验的沉淀,豆瓣8.3分,全球销量超300万册,核心是一套可复制、可迭代、可量化的人生与工作决策方法论,被誉为“改变世界的思维指南 很多时候你觉得人生不顺, 可能根本不是运气差、遇人不淑, 而是你从没学会为自己的每一个选择兜底。 今天给大家推荐《原则》这本书, 有一条关键性的“原则”, 那就是:“为自己负责”。 作者瑞・达利欧 是全球顶级投资机构桥水基金的创始人, 靠着一套自己总结的行事原则, 把桥水做成了全世界最赚钱的对冲基金之一, 甚至在 2008 年金融危机、 2020 年美股熔断的极端行情里都能稳赚不赔。 这本书就是他把自己 40 多年投资以及生活经验, 全部提炼成了普通人也能直接用的处事准则, 全书分为生活原则和工作原则两大板块, 每一条都是非常受用的干货。 你当下的所有人生结果, 全是自己一次次选择的总和… 这是我最受触动的贯穿全书的核心态度。 境遇不好、遭遇失败的时候, 永远先向内看,别忙着向外找借口。 而很多人是习惯性推卸责任: 工作搞砸了先怪同事不配合、领导要求太苛刻,感情出问题先怪对方不够体贴、不懂迁就, 甚至连没攒下钱都要怪物价太高、工资太低, 却忘了当初敷衍工作的是你、 吵架时不肯好好沟通的是你、 忍不住乱花钱的也是你。 瑞·达利欧的《原则》是他一生经验和思考的精华,凝结了其在投资、工作和生活中遵循的基本法则。这些原则帮助他应对挑战、做出明智决策并取得了非凡的成就。以下是《原则》一书中的100个顶级认知,它们提供了一个独特的视角和实用的框架,助你更好地理解现实、持续成长并追求有意义的人生和事业。 生活原则 作者提出“极度真实、极度透明”的核心原则,认为拥抱现实、应对现实是成功的基础。他强调了从错误中学习的价值,将痛苦视为进步的信号,并提出了“五步流程法”实现目标:设定目标、发现问题、诊断根源、规划方案、坚定执行。 工作原则 将桥水基金独特的“创意择优”文化系统化,强调通过“可信度加权决策”做最佳选择。达利欧认为,组织应像机器一样运行,通过严格的文化和优秀的人来实现目标,而正确的决策需要建立在公开透明、理性表达和合理分歧之上。 瑞·达利欧(Ray Dalio),1949年生于纽约,桥水基金创始人。他从12岁开始投资,后获哈佛商学院MBA学位。1975年,他在纽约的公寓内创立桥水,将其发展为全球最大对冲基金,巅峰管理规模超1600亿美元,在2008年金融危机中逆势盈利。 其成功核心是构建了一套基于“极端真实与透明”的原则化决策系统,并将公司管理理念总结为《原则》一书,风靡全球 Welcome to our weekly booking reading sharing + British Parliamentary Debate, language & cultural exchange meetup event which focus on informal and fun way to meet new people and cultural discussion.

Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, 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 chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions 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. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. 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 Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
Franklin Park Conservatory / Columbus Brewing Company
Franklin Park Conservatory / Columbus Brewing Company
**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.
