The Mental Peace lab is a weekly meditation class where you get to tune in to peaceful mental states, which is the core of Buddhist meditation. Different approaches allow to do this, which we'll explore together. The class each time consists of a guided meditation, a practical and interactive Buddhist teaching and concludes with a nice collective meditation that draws from this teaching. After this, for those who wish, tea is served and we can chat :) The class is taught in English by an experienced meditator and translated sequentially into Greek. Wearing confortable clothes is advised. Seating is on chairs or on cushions. There is a suggested donation of 5 EUR which can be paid in cash or by REVOLUT/IRIS. Hoping to welcome you !

Την Κυριακή 21 Ιουνίου 2026, στις 18:30, συναντιόμαστε στο Gazi College Piraeus για ένα meetup αφιερωμένο στο Best Practices For AI Content Creators και στις νέες δεξιότητες που χρειάζονται οι content creators, copywriters, bloggers, marketers και digital professionals στην εποχή της Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης. Όλες και όλοι μιλούν για AI content. Όμως το μεγάλο ερώτημα παραμένει: πώς δημιουργούμε περιεχόμενο με τη βοήθεια της Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης χωρίς να χάνεται η ποιότητα, η αυθεντικότητα, η στρατηγική σκέψη και η ανθρώπινη φωνή μας; Ήρθε η ώρα να δούμε μαζί τι σημαίνει πραγματικά premium AI content. Όχι βιαστικά prompts. Όχι γενικά κείμενα που μοιάζουν μεταξύ τους. Όχι περιεχόμενο που απλώς γεμίζει σελίδες και feeds. Αλλά περιεχόμενο που έχει σκοπό, δομή, ακρίβεια, προσωπικότητα, SEO αξία, AI visibility και πραγματική χρησιμότητα για τον άνθρωπο που το διαβάζει. Στο meetup θα εξερευνήσουμε μαζί: * Πώς χρησιμοποιούμε το AI ως συνεργάτη σκέψης και όχι ως αυτόματο αντικαταστάτη. * Ποια είναι τα βασικά best practices για να δημιουργούμε premium AI-assisted content. * Πώς προστατεύουμε τη δική μας φωνή, εμπειρία και επαγγελματική ταυτότητα μέσα σε AI-generated περιεχόμενο. * Πώς συνδέονται το AI, το SEO, το AEO, το GEO και τα LLMs με τη νέα πραγματικότητα της ψηφιακής ορατότητας. * Πώς μπορούμε να κάνουμε ένα AI κείμενο πιο καθαρό, πιο αξιόπιστο, πιο ανθρώπινο και πιο χρήσιμο. * Ποια λάθη κάνουν συχνά οι creators όταν χρησιμοποιούν AI εργαλεία για blogs, newsletters, social media και websites. * Πώς χτίζουμε περιεχόμενο που μπορεί να διαβαστεί, να κατανοηθεί και να προταθεί τόσο από ανθρώπους όσο και από AI συστήματα. * Αν χρησιμοποιείς ήδη AI εργαλεία αλλά νιώθεις ότι το αποτέλεσμα χρειάζεται περισσότερη ποιότητα, προσωπικότητα και στρατηγική, αυτό το meetup είναι για σένα. * Αν θέλεις να καταλάβεις τι σημαίνουν στην πράξη όροι όπως AEO, GEO, LLM Optimization, AI Visibility και AI Agents για τη δουλειά σου, αυτό το meetup είναι για σένα. **Αν θέλεις να δημιουργείς περιεχόμενο που δεν ακούγεται πρόχειρο, γενικό ή άψυχο, αλλά έχει επαγγελματική αξία και ανθρώπινη παρουσία, τότε έλα στην παρέα μας.** * Ημερομηνία: Κυριακή 21 Ιουνίου 2026 * Ώρα: 18:30 * Τοποθεσία: Gazi College Piraeus * Θεματική: Best Practices For Premium AI Content * Γλώσσα: Ελληνικά * Δωρεάν συμμετοχή – κράτηση απαραίτητη! * Οι θέσεις είναι περιορισμένες – κράτησε τη δική σου εγκαίρως.

Έχουμε ήδη εκπαιδεύσει πάνω από **3.150 γυναίκες** σε όλα τα σύγχρονα εργαλεία του digital κόσμου, και συνεχίζουμε με έμπνευση, φροντίδα και ομαδικότητα. Σε περιμένουμε να μοιραστούμε εμπειρίες, απορίες και έμπνευση, πάντα με καφέ, φιλική διάθεση και ουσιαστικό επαγγελματικό networking! ***Όροι Χρήσης & Πολιτική Απορρήτου:*** *Με τη συμμετοχή σας αποδέχεστε τη χρήση, διατήρηση και επεξεργασία των απαραίτητων προσωπικών δεδομένων για την ομαλή λειτουργία του meetup (όνομα, επίθετο, email, τηλέφωνο, ιστοσελίδα, blog, social media).

Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events? This is different. Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing. Booking happens through our website. 👉 Reserve your spot: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city Most people come alone. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real. Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease. Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry. Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.

Join us for a special day course on Saturday 20/6 with visiting meditation teacher James Longridge. In ordinary life, we tend to confuse love with desirous attachment, and as a result we often experience pain and disappointment within our so-called ‘loving’ relationships. But authentic love can never cause pain. It only ever produces happiness ! During the 4 sessions of this day course, James will take into us in the heart of the practice known as developing cherishing love. This practiced Buddhist wisdom, explained through talks and meditation, has the potential to truly liberate us from dysfunctional patterns in our relationships and bring us into deeper and deeper experiences of mental peace. There will be the opportunity for Q&A throughout the day. The suggested donation for the day course is 20 EUR, or 5 per session. For maximum benefit, it is encouraged to attend the whole day course The schedule of the day, along with information on booking can be found on https://athensmeditation.mmm.page/lovewithoutpain Hope to see you there !

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Do you sometimes feel like you do well in life then something happens and you slide back, never quite getting ahead. At this Meetup you'll find out how to identify what actually causes the lows, the highs and everything in between. More importantly you’ll get the secret of how to gain control over your life so the highs are higher and the lows go away. Wouldn’t it be nice to stop the wild roller coaster ride for good? Or at least make it a fun roller coaster ride, with more ups and downs. There is a hidden factor that will be going over and you’re going to be quite surprised what it is and how much it affects your life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is hosted at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.

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.

Welcome, readers! Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage*** **by Alfred Lansing.** A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

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.
