This is a free coaching session as a part of our promotional activity, created for individuals who are experiencing anxiety and want to regain a sense of inner balance and control 🌿

The focus is not only on awareness, but also on practical steps. You will learn simple and effective techniques that can help you calm your mind, reduce tension, and respond differently in challenging moments.
We will also look at how your patterns of thinking and emotional responses influence your experience, and how small shifts can create meaningful change over time 🔄
This is a safe space where you can openly share, feel heard, and begin building a more stable, grounded, and confident version of yourself 💬

Discover Chinese Tea Culture – Join Me for a Tea Farm Tour
👉 **To join:** Please add Daisy on WeChat at **daisy00233**
**We conduct all discussions over WeChat only.**
Hello, my name is Daisy Wen. I studied English Literature as an undergraduate and later completed an LLB with the University of London.
Beyond academics, I have a long-standing fascination with Chinese tea culture. In China, tea is far more than a beverage. It is deeply woven into history, daily life, etiquette, art, and philosophy. Even the Japanese tea ceremony traces its roots back to tea traditions of the Tang Dynasty.
I am beginning to organize small, relaxed visits to tea farms for those who are genuinely curious about tea — how it is grown, harvested, processed, and appreciated.
If you enjoy meaningful cultural experiences and good conversation over a proper cup of tea, I am forming a WeChat group for like-minded friends.
Let us meet for a cuppa and see where the journey takes us.
Stroll back into the city’s past at Sinan Road Citywalk
This meetup tour will feature
walking through the best of Shanghai’s picturesque Former French Concession which include Sinan Road, Fuxing Park,Sinan Mansion. It's a roughly 3 hours walking tour
Cost: RMB 18
Meeting time: 9:30 AM
Meeting point: Exit
1 of Huai hai Zhong lu Metro Station of line 13.
With tree-lined avenues, historic architecture and a quaint collection of shops and restaurants, Shanghai’s Former French Concession is the ideal place to step into the city’s past. Handsome villas perch along the promenade, while high-society ladies sip tea in the shade of linen-white gazebos. The charming scenery and slower pace make it an ideal destination to explore on foot.
Wander through beautiful Fuxing Park. Fuxing Park on Yandang Road,Designed by Papot, a French horticulturalist in 1909, the park maintains the French classic style, which is characterized by plaids and patterns. The construction of Fuxing Park combines French and Chinese layout styles. The north and central parts of the park focus on the French style and includes a carpet flower bed, central fountain pool and China rose flower bed. The southwest part of the park presents the Chinese style and includes a rockery, lotus pond, stream, winding path and lawn.
Sinan Road
Sinan Road is one of the best old streets in Shanghai to escape from the bustling city, with western style villas, small delicate shops and restaurants, in the shade of tall plane trees.
A Great Deal of Former Residences of Celebrities.
Those garden houses used to be residences for celebrities. Former Chinese premier Zhou Enlai has lived at No. 73 Sinan Road, which is a Spanish-style garden house. Moreover, Chinese Peking opera artist Mei Langfang and Chinese modern democratic revolutionaries Sun Yat-sen and his wife Soong Ching-ling also have lived in Sinan Road. These residences are still well preserved and can be visited.
Collegiate Church of St Nicholas, located in no. 16 in Gaolan Road,
has Been Adapted Into A Poetry Book Store. St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church at No. 16 Gaolan Road was built in 1932 in the typical Russian orthodox style with onion dome spires. Chinese practice Wutopia Lab has renovated the interiors of a former Russian orthodox church.
Set on a thoroughfare in Shanghai, China known for its well-preserved, European-style historical architecture, it turned the landmark building into a poetry bookshop named Sinan Books.
Sinan mansions, the only wholly preserved historical garden villa complex downtown. The mansions were initially built in 1920, featuring more than 50 historic villas in various styles. Many were former residences of celebrities such as poet Liu Yazi (1887-1958) and Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang (1894-1961). Some have been converted into hotels, cafes, restaurants and shops.

走近复兴公园,回望百年沧桑:
复兴公园位于法国梧桐掩映的复兴中路北侧,是一座历史悠久的公园,是上海唯一一座保留法国古典式风格的园林,有上海的“卢森堡公园”之美誉,也是近代上海中西园林文化交融的杰作。复兴公园于1908年由法租界公董局筹建,由法国园艺师柏勃(Papot)按法国园林特色进行设计,整个公园以规则式园林布局为主,偏西南部递变呈自然式。复兴公园几经历史变迁,园内保留了百年悬铃木、沉床花坛、玫瑰园、马恩雕像等特色景区,植物种类达170多种。2007年,公园经过了整体改造,其独特的历史风貌和人文景观得到了提升和保护,更加焕发出法式园林的气息和神韵。
孙中山故居:
在上海繁华的淮海路以南,思南路东侧的香山路上,坐落着一幢欧洲乡村式样的小洋房,这就是我国伟大的民主革命先行者孙中山先生和夫人宋庆龄在上海的寓所。
思南书局诗歌店:
在旧教堂里打造全上海最动人的书店 - 思南书局诗歌店 / Wutopia Lab
Wutopia Lab 以“Church in church”概念在上海历史建筑圣尼古拉斯教堂旧址里用45吨钢铁打造了旧教堂里的新书店——思南书局诗歌店。这是上海最大最全面的专业诗歌书店,提供1000册不同语言的诗集。诗歌店设计延续了Wutopia Lab基于对偶形成的一贯的魔幻现实主义风格:穿孔钢板,半透明,不确定的光线,色彩以及戏剧性的诗意。
······
掩映在高大法国梧桐浓荫下的思南路,是一条浪漫气息浓郁的马路。
思南路原名马斯南路(Rue Massenet),始筑于1914年。在1912年8月13日,法国一位著名音乐家Massener在巴黎去世。为纪念他,法租界公董局就将此路命名为Rue Massenet ——即马斯南路。
思南路马路两侧满是阴翳的法国梧桐和精美的洋房。思南路除了拥有当年法租界上小马路的共同特征外,还有着不同于其它马路的独特吸引力:二十几幢花园式洋房,集中了老上海近乎全部的民居样式——是城市历史的活话本。
思南公馆是上海市中心唯一一个以成片花园洋房的保留保护为宗旨的项目,坐拥51栋历史悠久的花园洋房,已成为上海城中新奢地标。上海优秀历史建筑保护项目之一。思南公馆内坐拥51栋历史悠久的花园洋房,同时汇聚了独立式花园洋房、外廊式建筑、花园里弄等多种建筑样式 。·这里曾经是上海上流社会的汇聚之所,周恩来、柳亚子、梅兰芳等名流都曾在此居住。
电影《爱神》《小时代3》,都曾在思南公馆取景,毕竟思南公馆随手一拍便是风景。

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
Christ The Healer, Columbus, Ohio
From the moment sin entered the world, death began. Adam and Eve were not stricken dead immediately, but the process by which none of us lives forever in health and wholeness in these earthly bodies started its inexorable march to the inevitable end—death. The Bible makes it clear that by one man’s sin, death came to all mankind, but that by the obedience of One Perfect Man, Jesus, many are made righteous (Romans 5:19).

Bosworth recognized this truth; he also would have people consider that the God Who provided for our greatest need—salvation from eternal death—would also provide healing for the lesser, but still great needs, of health and healing from sickness, disease, and the consequences of sin that we encounter before we die.
Join us as we examine the case for biblical healing in the book first published in 1924, ***Christ The Healer*. We meet at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center on Tuesday, July 7, 2026 at 6:30 pm.**

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
This is a free, in person meeting.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
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: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
