Create positive change for yourself one yoga posture at a time. Each class we aim to spur on the type of grace that leads to unconditional loving acceptance of yourself. You will be given the safe space to open up your mind, process your current life experiences, rejuvenate your spirit, access your creativity, and become immersed in source awareness.

This surrendering to reality as it actually 'is' supports you to see the road to living in presence. It will become more and more apparent that there is nowhere else you want to be, and you'll be able to more easily remain here.
Each journey you will calm your nervous system, ground, centre and open up your heart in real time. Allow yourself to move through stagnant energies in a conscious and loving way, to get your vital life force energy flowing with grace.

The Coach's Money Mindset Reset
**Click the link below to reserve your spot:**
**[https://energeticmagic.thrivecart.com/mindset-reset/](https://energeticmagic.thrivecart.com/mindset-reset/)**
Why Your Brain Is Chemically Rewarding You For Staying Stuck Below Your True Earning Potential
Most coaches hitting the almost-six-figure ceiling aren't struggling with their marketing or offer.
They're trapped by something far more powerful - a deep-seated reality addiction around money and success.
You've built a solid coaching business.
You have testimonials that prove your value.
Your clients get real results.
Yet somehow, consistent $10K+ months remain frustratingly out of reach.
Every time you get close to breaking through, something happens:
* You discount your rates when a potential client hesitates
* You overdeliver to justify your prices
* You feel a nagging discomfort when thinking about charging more
* You work harder instead of leveraging what's already working
The problem isn't your coaching ability. It's the unconscious stories you believe about wealth that create unnecessary friction in your business growth.
What "Reality Addiction" Is Costing You
Reality addiction is the unconscious belief that your current financial ceiling is "just how things are" for coaches like you.
It's the voice that whispers:
*"Making more means working more."*
*"If I charge premium rates, I'll price out the people who need me."*
*"Successful coaches are just better at selling than I am."*
These limiting beliefs aren't just in your head โ they're actively sabotaging your business decisions, creating a cycle where:
* You undercharge for your services
* You overwork to compensate
* You feel resentful about the imbalance
* You burn out before reaching your goals
I know because I was stuck in the same cycle. Making $8K months but unable to break through to consistent five-figure months until I addressed my reality addiction around wealth and success.
What You'll Discover in This Free Workshop
Once you join you'll feel the tension in your chest release as you finally understand why making money has felt so difficult.
During our 60-minute session, you'll experience:
\- The exact moment you recognize the invisible reality addiction that's been holding your income backโand feel immediate relief knowing it's not your fault
\- A profound shift as you see other successful coaches breaking through the same blocks that have kept you stuck
\- The liberating feeling of having a clear path forward instead of pushing that boulder uphill every day
\- The quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly which stories to release so you can finally command premium rates without the guilt
When you apply the framework I'll share, you'll wake up feeling excited about your business again instead of exhausted by it.

โFor the first time in my life, I felt valued and loved. This work changed everything.โ
\- Lynn D
Security Coach

โHe worked on my fear of success, which was blocking me from getting more clients. I felt a huge sense of relief the very next day and started getting inquiries about my services.โ

Reiki Master/Teacher

Improv For New Friends
Don't be disappointed if you don't see a bunch of people attending. I advertise this on multiple platforms and the class usually sells out.
Improv comedy uses several techniques to create laughter. These include, creating an atmosphere free of judgement, saying 'yes', active listening, being positive, putting your focus on others, and the importance of play and laughter.
Not coincidentally, these are the same things that happen to us naturally when we are bonding with another person.
In this class, we'll explore these techniques not with the goal of being funny, but with the goal of being people that other people want to be around.
The organizer, Ralph MacLeod, is a co-founder of two independent improv clubs in Toronto - Bad Dog Theatre and Social Capital Theatre. He's been teaching improv for over 30 years. He also teaches these same techniques to several organizations including UofT, Google, Kraft, Shopify and many, many more.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have!
FAQs and Good To Know....
After every event, a group from this class sit down and have a drink together so be prepared to stay if you want! Of course, you don't HAVE to.
You also don't have to be single or bring a friend. The vibe of this class is much more 'making new friends' than a 'singles' mixer'.
We usually run to 8:15 so pay for extra parking!

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!

DESCRIPTION: A father, accompanied by his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco while searching for his daughter who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties.

It also earned a whopping 11 nominations at the 40th Goya Awards, including Best Film and Director, and was nominated for Best International Feature Film and Best Sound at this yearโs Academy Awards. The film is earning a stellar 92% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes which calls it โan unforgettable exercise in tensionโ and โa brutal reminder that the journey can be more important than the destination.โ

Shut Up & Write!ยฎ East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! Weโve discovered that itโs strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if itโs true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
