Letting Go

L'Ecume des jours (Foam of the Daze) is a jazz fueled Science Fiction story that is both romantic and nihilistic! Vian's novel is an assortment of bittersweet romance, absurdity and the frailty of life. Foam of the Daze is a nimble-fingered masterpiece that is both witty and incredibly moving. It is a story of a wealthy young man Colin and the love of his life Chloe, who develops a water lily in her lung. The supporting cast includes Chick, an obsessive collector of noted philosopher Jean-Sol Partre's books and stained pants, and Nicolas who is a combination of P.G. Wodehouse's fictional butler Jeeves and the Green Hornet's Kato. The soul of the book is about the nature of life disappearing and loving things intensely as if one was making love on a live grenade! Please note that there are several translations of this book, first of them was Froth on the daydream, later came Mood indigo (by movie title), and there is also Foam of the Daze. source: goodreads

**Ecstatic Cacao Ritual – Solstice Celebration** 🌞 Zum Season Closing, an diesem besonderen Abend zur Sommersonnenwende feiern wir das Licht, die Gemeinschaft und die Fülle des Lebens. Seit Jahrtausenden versammeln sich Menschen rund um diesen kraftvollen Wendepunkt des Jahres. Der längste Tag und die kürzeste Nacht erinnern uns daran, das Leben zu feiern, Dankbarkeit auszudrücken und uns bewusst auszurichten auf das, was wir in die zweite Jahreshälfte tragen möchten. Mehr als ein Ecstatic Dance. Mehr als eine Cacao Ceremony. Eine Reise durch Verbindung, Musik, Bewegung und Gemeinschaft. Gemeinsam öffnen wir den Abend mit zeremoniellem Kakao, einer bewussten Einstimmung und einer gemeinsamen Intention für die zweite Hälfte des Jahres. Was möchte durch dich wachsen? Was möchtest du feiern? Wofür bist du dankbar? Durch Cacao, Musik, Tanz und Klang erschaffen wir einen Raum, in dem wir das Leben bewusst feiern dürfen. 🌿 **Mathias Kluger / Lost in Soma – Ceremony & Dance Journey** Mathias öffnet den Raum mit einer herzöffnenden Cacao Ceremony und einer bewussten Tanzeinleitung. Als Gründer des Ecstatic Cacao Rituals verbindet er Elemente aus Cacao Ceremony, Authentic Relating, Ecstatic Dance, Breathwork und Ritualarbeit zu einer ganzheitlichen Erfahrung. Seine musikalischen Reisen führen durch organische elektronische Klänge, Weltmusik, Mantras, Medicine Songs und kraftvolle Dancefloor-Momente. Als internationaler Ecstatic Dance DJ und Resident im Shunya, Goa, schafft er Räume, in denen Menschen sich selbst tiefer begegnen, Verbindung erleben und Gemeinschaft als Medizin erfahren können. Das Ecstatic Cacao Ritual ist eine Einladung, den Alltag hinter sich zu lassen und über Musik, Bewegung und Präsenz in einen lebendigen Kontakt mit sich selbst und anderen einzutauchen. **✨ Valerie & Sebastian – Sound Journey** Valerie und Sebastian weben einen Klangteppich aus zwei Stimmen, Gitarre, Handpan, oft auch Harmonium und allem, was der Moment ruft. Nichts ist geprobt im engeren Sinn – manches sind Lieder, die uns seit Jahren begleiten, manches Eigenkompositionen, vieles entsteht erst durch die Magie des Moments. Die beiden lieben weiche und weite Töne, die dich durch den ergänzenden Kontrast ihrer Stimmen sanft umhüllen. Momente, in denen gemeinsam mit den Zuhörern ehrliche Töne aus dem endlosen Raum durch sie fließen. **🕕 Sonntag\, 21\.06\.2026 \| 18:00** 📍 Vitality Base Vienna 📍 Leberstraße 118A, 1110 Wien 🔗 find.vitalitybase.at **✨ Programmablauf** 18:00 Gemeinsames Ankommen 18:30 Willkommenskreis 18:45 Cacao Ceremony & Dance Introduction mit Mathias Kluger 19:30 Ecstatic Cacao Ritual Dance Journey mit Lost in Soma 21:30 Sound Journey mit Valerie & Sebastian 22:00 Offener Raum zum Entspannen, Musizieren und Austauschen 🌀 Bitte beachte: Dieses Event ist alkoholfrei und findet in einem geschützten zeremoniellen Rahmen statt. 🌟 Mitgliederevent Förderbeitrag: 34–54 Euro Mitgliedschaft vor Ort erhältlich 🌞 Lasst uns die Sommersonnenwende gemeinsam feiern. 🌿 Lasst uns tanzen. 💛 Lasst uns das Leben feiern. 🌱 create joy together

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past. The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories. When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

We are going to build together with all the CLIs! E will be doing it at Columbus Code and Coffee Agenda --- Hosted By James Power, Organizer Pete Gordon, Organizer Just a Software Guy in the age of the Internet. Complete your event RSVP here: https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-columbus-presents-ai-improv-lets-build-a-game-together-with-claude-code-codex-and-gemini-and-be-the-judge/.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

These meetings will be a building block approach to learning photographic mastery over three disciplines: Mechanical Mastery (MM) - 13 weeks of the series Exposure Mastery (EM) - 26 weeks of the series Composition Mastery (CM) - A 52 week series All three series will run concurrently and will dovetail as follows: Q3/26 - MM (Iter 1), EM (Iter 1, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt1) Q4/26 - MM (Iter 2), EM (Iter 1, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt2) Q1/27 - MM (Iter 3), EM (Iter 2, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt3) Q2/27 - MM (Iter 4), EM (Iter 2, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt4) That's likely confusing, but essentially, MM offered 4 times in that period, EM offered 2 times, and CM offered 1 time. **TO BE CLEAR - THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THESE CLASSES.** This is an aggressive series, with presentations, homework, group shoots to be added in, likely at LEAST twice a month, image critiques, and an expectation that you are willing to put in the work to elevate your photography significantly. Open to all levels and all equipment levels. Don't let hesitation about your skillset and/or gear keep you from a one-time opportunity. The group will meet every Monday, with periodic exceptions, and we will try to keep as close as possible to the original plan. Obviously, more data to come, and will be published as this is further developed, but now is the time to decide if you want to be a part of this.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

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.
