Aries Portal: Kundalini & Life Force Activation
Beautiful soul, I return from Mexico to hold space -- during the Aries Portal.
April 12, 2026 is a powerful activation day: with Mars conjunct Neptune in Aries fueling spiritually aligned action, highly auspicious Vedic timing (Amrita Yogam, 90/100) supporting new ventures and beginnings, and a waning crescent Moon encouraging reflection—people should take aligned action now while staying inwardly grounded.
**In-Person Light Body Expansion Activation**
Join us for a powerful in-person Light Body Expansion Activation — an immersive energetic experience designed to awaken your life force energy and expand your consciousness.
This session combines **Kundalini (life force) Activation and Light Language transmission**, creating a space where deep healing, emotional release, and expanded awareness can unfold naturally. As you lie comfortably on your mat, you will receive a transmission of energy that supports the awakening of your own inner life force and the expansion of your energetic body.
Participants often enter deep meditative or altered states as the body responds to the vibrational frequencies of sound, energy, and light language. These frequencies communicate directly with your consciousness, activating the body’s innate intelligence and natural healing capacity.
This experience supports a deeper connection to your authentic self while helping release energetic blockages and limiting patterns.
**During the session you will experience:**
• A heart-opening ceremony to deepen connection and receptivity
• Demonstration of the activation process
• Full Light Body Expansion Activation energy transmission
• Light Language channeling and vibrational sound frequencies
• Somatic and energetic release as the body responds to the energy
• Closing integration and sharing circle
**Participants may experience:**
• Spontaneous body movements or energetic sensations
• Emotional release such as laughter, tears, or deep peace
• Visual or intuitive insights
• Expanded states of consciousness
• Activation of the voice through humming, singing, or light language
**Potential benefits:**
• Release of emotional and energetic blockages
• Expansion of awareness and consciousness
• Greater intuition and clarity
• Reconnection with your inner guidance and purpose
• Increased creativity, joy, and emotional freedom
All you need to do is lie down, relax, and allow the energy to guide the experience.

Korean Learners' 1st 식구 Dinner
Hello everyone! Nice to meet you 😊
This is the first event I’m hosting on Meetup.com,
but we’ve already had four small coffee chats, so this will be our fifth meetup for Korean learners.
This time, I’m trying something a little different, a combination of a study group and a dinner gathering.
For this event, first-time attendees will be joining the dinner table,
and as you become a regular, you’ll also be able to join the study group sessions.
The location is still TBD and will be announced soon.
**It’s free to join, but everyone will pay for their own food or drinks.**
***
**\*\* What is “식구 (食口)”?**
“식구 (Sigoo)” means “family” in Korean.
It literally comes from Chinese characters meaning “people who share meals together.”
You can see how important sharing a meal is in Korean culture.
So this time, why don’t we sit at the same table, share a meal,
and get to know each other through Korean learning?
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!

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. 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!
