We are currently meeting in-person at Locus Workspace. If you have any questions, contact Sonya Lano here or on Facebook or Messenger (https://www.facebook.com/sonya.lano). We start at 9:00, introduce ourselves, and share a few words about what we're working on and what we hope to accomplish during the session. At the end of the session, you can give us a brief recap of how it went. We'll break at noon. The afternoon session starts at 2:00 pm. You're welcome to join both sessions or just one. Please come as close to 9:00 as you can if you come for the morning session. If you come to the afternoon session, we are usually back by about a quarter to 2:00.

Hey everyone! Tired of sitting and watching **Netflix**? 📺🥱 The galaxy (or at least the south of Prague) isn't going to explore itself! Put down that remote, grab your walkman, and join our crew for a mission through ancient ruins, great views, and literal flight decks. 🚀✨ We’ve got **14 km** of uncharted territory ahead of us. 🌲 We’ll start by raiding an **Ancient Celtic Oppidum** 🏛️—it’s basically like an alien temple, so bring your inner Star-Lord. Then, prepare for the **breathtaking views** aka great spots for selfies 📸 But keep your sensors sharp! We’re hiking past an **actual airport** ✈️—perfect for when we need to make a quick getaway from the Nova Corps. Finally, we’ll disappear into the "jungle" of **Modřanská rokle** 🌿, where even Groot would feel right at home. **Fair warning:** We’re moving at a steady Guardian pace 🏃🚶 (translation: active walking, average 4km/h). The climb is about one **Milešovka** high, so you’ll need some bionic strength in those legs! Our final destination? A **cozy space-cafe** ☕️🍰 right by the transport portal (the tram), which will warp you back to the city center in no time. 🚃💨 🎒 Mission Gear: * **Combat Boots:** Or just sturdy **hiking boots** 🥾. * **Annihilator Spray:** A heavy-duty **bug spray** 🦟. Space-mosquitoes are real and they are thirsty. * **Fuel:** Plenty of **water** 💧 and a **snack** 🥪. Even Drax gets hangry! * **The Vibe:** A massive dose of **good mood** 😃 and a **50 CZK** unit of currency (payable on site via qr code or cash) to keep our ship flying. 💸 ⚠️ **Note from HQ:** Please be on time. The train will be too. If you have "Litacka" for P and 0, you do not need any train ticket. If not, please buy yourself a paper PID ticket (90min ticket for 50 CZK (the train ride is only 25mins but in case of delay you need to have your PID ticket valid); you can get it in the orange vending machines right in the station hallway; its cheaper than the train ticket. In case of any question, send me PM). This mission is for **registered Guardians only**. Hit that "Going" button or stay on the couch! 🤝 Let’s show this trail who the real Guardians are. See you on Saturday! 🌌🌲☀️

Hi All, Come and join us for social running and a coffee! We meet at the main gate of Vystaviste - tram stop Vystaviste Holesovice. We will run in Stromovka. Usually we run around 50mins and it is up to everyone how many kilometres. We welcome all levels of runner. We can all run together or, if there is more of us, we can split into groups and at the end of the run we all meet close to the starting point to go for a coffee to a nice local coffee place (where they also sell cakes and great chocolate). If the weather is great, we can also just sit in one of the outside coffee placces in Stromovka and enjoy the sun. This is where we meet: http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/7/3/1/600_447930513.jpeg

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.
