Kirtan

We gather every Saturday at 16h for our weekly collective meditation practice. Our sessions are based on Rajadhiraja Yoga, a holistic system that integrates the classical eight-limbed (Ashtanga) yoga, Tantra, a structured series of meditation lessons, and a deep spiritual and social philosophy. The meditations are held as part of the Meditation Steps project — a non-profit initiative that aims to make meditation and yoga accessible to everyone and inspire positive change in society. ​Our facilitator Michael, has been practicing meditation for five years and guides sessions that blend dynamic and silent meditation. His approach combines movement, breath, and stillness to create a modern, grounding experience that helps people reconnect with clarity and calm. ​These sessions are in ENGLISH. ​Donation based. Suggested donation 10€. ​ ​**Location** ​​​​**Samanà Space** (🔗 [IG](https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/)) **Address:** Calle Pujades 77-79 8 planta — Ring 2809 ​​​​🔗 [Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/p3Y4patgzNDUtQo2A) ​​​**What to Bring:** * ​​​Comfortable clothing to move freely * ​​​A water bottle to stay hydrated * ​​​An open heart and a willingness to let go and have fun! ​​​**Our Space:** * ​​​Is a shoe free zone * ​​​Alcohol or drugs are not permitted * ​​​We are a vegan space ​​​Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/](https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/)

**Ecstatic Dance with Edulis** 📅Saturday, 20th December 📍Samanà Space, Poblenou ​Ecstatic Dance is an international practice of free-form movement defined by several key principles that distinguish it from traditional or social dance: \- Free movement: There are no choreographies; participants are encouraged to move however they feel\. \- Sacred space: The dance floor is considered a sacred space\, free from judgment\, alcohol\, drugs\, and distractions \(for example\, no phones or conversations\)\. \- Musical journey: DJs create a musical “wave” that guides dancers through varying energies and emotions — from grounding rhythms to uplifting peaks\. Ecstatic Dance offers a place where people reconnect with the spirit of their bodies — where movement heals, music guides, and the dancing tribe holds the experience. About the Samanà Space: It’s a privilege to facilitate this ecstatic journey in this spacious and bright open room of 110m², filled with natural light throughout the day, good ventilation, and cozy rest areas. Located near Poblenou and Calle Marina, with the nearest metro being Bogatell (L4), the venue features an open space, a small kitchen area, a bathroom, and two chill-out zones with sofas. 🎧 About the facilitator: This session is facilitated by DJ Edulis (IG: edulisdj & web: https://www.ecstaticedulis.com/en) 🕜 18:30 – Arrival & payment 19:00 – Opening circle · Warm-up · Start of the Ecstatic Dance21:00 – Closing circle & hugs 💸 Conscious contribution: between €15 and €25, depending on your financial situation(€15 — minimum · €20 — heart support · €25 — gratitude) ⭕ Limited capacity: 35 people 🙏 See you on the dance floor! 🔗 Reserve your spot here: https://luma.com/wgmv489h

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.

As we prepare to enter a new year, the Burning Bowl Ceremony offers a powerful and heartfelt opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and make space for new beginnings. You are warmly invited to join us for this sacred and reflective ritual. The Burning Bowl Ceremony is a beloved Unity tradition—an empowering moment where we release old patterns, worries, or limiting beliefs by writing them down and symbolically releasing them into the flame. This act of letting go opens the door to clarity, peace, and transformation.

# **Band: Firefly Trace, caller Kenny Greer** Beginner lesson at 7:30, regular dancing begins at 8:00 **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
