I love. I trust. ~ a monthly embodied gathering
Join us on 14–15 March for an intimate homecoming into your wholeness.
What: A monthly embodied gathering — movement, energy practices, and sacred intimacy
Theme: Self-trust, flow & contained boundaries
When: 14–15 March
Where: Zambujal (close to Meco)
For whom: anyone curious about embodiment and presence
Small circle — limited places.
I love. I trust. - monthly gathering
A weekend exploring the living relationship between self-trust, flow, and boundaries.
Without self-trust, boundaries wobble.
Without contained boundaries, flow floods.
Without loving flow, boundaries become rigid.
We work through movement and embodiment practices, direct experiential exercises, energy-based work (at times inspired by qigong), and relational sacred intimacy practices. There will be guided exploration, individual reflection, partner exercises, and structured group integration.
The space is held with clarity and loving care. No performance, no fixing — just direct experience and embodied inquiry.
Bringing your presence is enough.

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.

Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value

Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
