Green Building

​This gathering brings together women working in or curious about Bitcoin. We'll share real experiences, career paths, and lessons learned. The focus will be on how women contribute to building, securing, and supporting Bitcoin, from technical roles to adjacent fields. If you're already in tech or just starting to explore, join us to learn, connect, and discover what's possible. **👉 Please RSVP on Luma:** [https://luma.com/kn3txa1n](https://luma.com/kn3txa1n) Panelists will speak candidly about navigating the industry, building a career in emerging tech, and what it's really like to work in Bitcoin-focused organizations. The discussion aims to be approachable and insightful, giving women a clear, real-world view of opportunities, challenges, and growth in Bitcoin and related technologies. ​***Please respect the Bitcoin-only focus: We do not discuss, promote, or entertain conversations about altcoins, tokens, ICOs, NFTs, memecoins, or any other cryptocurrency projects. Nothing shared at this meetup is financial advice.

Our **first Live Meetup of the year last January 20** was a huge success. We had an engaged group, meaningful conversations, and valuable insights shared by people who are serious about building passive cash flow and long-term financial freedom.

We’re back this February with another **value-packed live meetup**. **What to expect:** * Practical discussions on passive income and cash flow strategies * Real-world insights you can apply * A supportive community of like-minded people * Networking, open discussions, and Q and A Whether you joined us last January or this will be your first time, you are more than welcome. If you want to learn, connect, and surround yourself with people who are focused on financial growth, this meetup is for you. 📅 **Date:** February 17 📍 **Location:** The Aloft Hotel 7520 Teague Rd., Hanover, MD 21076 Slots are limited, so make sure to **RSVP early**.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

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.
