Coffee Connections
A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix.
Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop!
Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

Climate Action Book Club: It’s Not That Radical by Mikaela Loach
The climate emergency will not be solved by reading books. But by coming together to read, to educate ourselves, to share what we learn with friends and family, and to take action in our corner of the world we can be a small part of the wave of change humanity desperately needs. Sound like something you want to be a part of? We’d love to have you.
Join the Climate Action Book Club this month to read It’s Not That Radical by Mikaela Loach, the young Jamaica-born British activist and author. She’s an infectious and inspiring voice who will get you excited to take action.
This event is free, but please get your copy from the wonderful English bookstore that hosts our book club meetings, Backstory. To cover Meetup fees, we also request a €1 donation per attendee.
You are welcome (even encouraged) to join us even if you haven't read the book but want to hear and join the discussion about it. Feel free to bring a friend, too. Hope to see you!

ECSTATIC RHYTHMS · Cacao & Dance - Special Guest: Gyuriel Simon
# ECSTATIC RHYTHMS
## Cacao Ceremony & Freedom Dance
**About the Event**
Enter a collective ritual of presence, movement, and expression as we gather for **[Ecstatic Rhythms](https://www.notion.so/WEBSITE-sabinamedina-com-1284e61d096b80f1bd06eb75dc61198b?pvs=21&utm_source=luma)**.
In a world that often pulls us into speed and disconnection, this evening is an invitation to slow down, drop into the body, and remember the joy of moving and expressing together — freely, consciously, and without masks.
We begin by entering a shared meditative space and drinking **ceremonial Criollo cacao**, ethically sourced and cultivated in Venezuela. This heart-opening ritual is held with care and intention, creating a safe container to open the body, quiet the mind, and connect as a community in this unique moment.
From there, we move into a **balancing breathwork, voice activation, and body awakening**, preparing the nervous system and inviting us to fully let go. This phase supports alignment on a physical, emotional, and energetic level — setting the ground for deep expression.
The journey then unfolds into an **authentic ecstatic dance experience**, inspired by the ancient roots of dance before DJs existed. Through drums, shakers, our voices, and carefully curated soundscapes, we co-create a powerful movement ritual led by fire, rhythm, and presence.
Influenced by the principles of **Five Rhythms**, the dance becomes a space to express, observe, and release — moving through emotions and elements, shedding fears and masks, and exploring mind, body, and spirit in many forms. This is a space to get creative, dance like no one is watching, and awaken a playful, youthful sense of freedom.
We close by bringing everything home through a **deeply restorative gong and Tibetan bowl sound bath**, supporting integration, grounding, and nervous system regulation — completing the cycle of the evening.

# ECSTATIC RHYTHMS
## Ceremonia de Cacao & Danza Libre
## Sobre el Evento
Te invitamos a entrar en un ritual colectivo de presencia, movimiento y expresión mientras nos reunimos para **Ecstatic Rhythms**.
En un mundo que a menudo nos arrastra hacia la velocidad y la desconexión, esta experiencia es una invitación a bajar el ritmo, habitar el cuerpo y recordar la alegría de movernos y expresarnos juntxs — de forma libre, consciente y sin máscaras.
Comenzamos entrando en un espacio meditativo compartido y bebiendo **cacao ceremonial Criollo**, éticamente cultivado y proveniente de Venezuela. Este ritual de apertura del corazón se sostiene con cuidado e intención, creando un contenedor seguro para abrir el cuerpo, aquietar la mente y conectar como comunidad en este momento único.
A continuación, transitamos hacia una **respiración consciente, activación de la voz y despertar corporal**, preparando el sistema nervioso e invitándonos a soltar por completo. Esta fase favorece la alineación física, emocional y energética, sentando las bases para una expresión profunda.
El viaje continúa hacia una **experiencia auténtica de danza extática**, inspirada en las raíces ancestrales de la danza, antes de que existieran los DJs. A través de tambores, shakers, nuestras voces y paisajes sonoros cuidadosamente seleccionados, co-creamos un ritual de movimiento potente, guiado por el fuego, el ritmo y la presencia.
Influenciada por los principios de **Five Rhythms**, la danza se convierte en un espacio para expresar, observar y liberar — moviéndonos a través de emociones y elementos, soltando miedos y máscaras, y explorando mente, cuerpo y espíritu en múltiples formas. Un espacio para crear, bailar como si nadie mirara y despertar una libertad lúdica y vital.
Cerramos el ciclo llevando todo de vuelta al cuerpo con un **profundo baño de sonido con gong y cuencos tibetanos**, apoyando la integración, el enraizamiento y la regulación del sistema nervioso.

The “I” of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace Workshop
In the midst of life’s storms—whether in relationships, work, or within ourselves—it can be difficult to find clarity and calm. The “I” Of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace, based on the work of Dr. Gary Simmons, invites you to discover the steady center within—the part of you that remains grounded even when everything around you is in motion.
Led by Brian Drafton-Griffin, this engaging workshop offers practical tools and meaningful insights to help you navigate conflict with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence. Through guided discussion and reflection, you’ll learn how to shift from reaction to response and transform challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
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.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.

PETA playbook Watch party: Peeling back the Cage-free label
**You're invited to join local Columbus animal advocates as we watch PETA's workshop together on cage-free campaigns. Free vegan pizza will be provided! After the workshop Q&A, we'll have a group discussion and brainstorm on future activism plans. Hope to see you there!**
**Here are the details:**
**WHEN: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at 6pm EST**
**WHERE: KTC Columbus**
**If you cannot attend in person, you can still view the workshop virtually at https://www.facebook.com/events/1567122777711333**
**Here's some background on the workshop:**
**Please join us for an eye-opening online PETA Playbook discussion with PETA’s Associate Director of Vegan Campaigns, Amber Canavan, where we’ll ask the hard-hitting questions about the cage-free campaigns and their impact on both hens and vegan efforts.**
**Whether you’re looking to strengthen your outreach or sharpen your messaging around the egg industry’s humane-washing tactics, this workshop will give you practical tools to help others understand what “cage-free” really means for hens and why the label is misleading.**
**We’ll explore how to keep conversations respectful, fact-based, and focused on the animals’ reality while encouraging others to take effective action.**
**Please join us for this important workshop to learn how you can cut through cage-free marketing and help animals.**
**Come ready to learn, ask questions, and ignite your activism for animals!**
CMG Gives Back: Serve Brunch at FAITH MISSION GRANT KITCHEN!
Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces.
PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1
week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events!
Should be another good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
