Welcome to our new photography group! This is an ongoing gathering for **Through Our Lens**, an ongoing empowerment photography and community storytelling workshop at MIITTI, Lapinlahden Lähde. These sessions are **for those who are considering joining the regular weekly group.** You’ll always have space to ask questions and decide whether you’d like to participate. **: About commitment :** This is a process-based workshop series that builds over time. While life situations can change, we ask participants to join with the intention of attending sessions regularly and taking part in the shared group process. The quality of the workshops depends on mutual presence, respect, and continuity within the group. **:Through Our Lens:** Through Our Lens is a community-focused photography series combining empowerment photography, identity exploration, and creative storytelling. Using only everyday mobile phones, participants learn to notice, capture, and express their personal experiences through images. The project aims to: * Create meaningful social connections. * Strengthen cross-cultural understanding * Support integration through shared creative expression * Empower migrants and refugees to tell their own stories * Build community through participatory arts practices Grounded in the principles of empowerment photography, the project centres participants as authors of their own narratives. Through workshops, storytelling exercises, and a community exhibition, participants reflect on their daily life, belonging, hopes, roots, identities, and experiences of belonging. Finally, with the help of reflective sharing circles, and a small exhibition, participants share these themes with other participants and to the public. **: WHEN**: The group have begin with meetings on 10th of February and continue until mid-March. In between the meetings, there will be individual work based on the prompts presented during the groups. Registration is mandatory. **: WHERE**: Tallipääty, MIITTI office Lapinlahden Lähde [Lapinlahdenpolku 8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/SdMzAv5HUF3m1DZw9) 00180 Helsinki (How to find us: When entering through the gates of the courtyard of the yellow main building of Lapinlahden Lähde, the door to MIITTI's office is the first one on your left-hand side.) **: IMPORTANT**: Spots are limited to ensure a comfortable group size, make sure to reserve yours!

Join the *Helsinki Stoics* group for an evening of reflection on a simple but powerful Stoic insight: **It’s not what happens to us that shapes our experience, but how we choose to see it.** This meetup offers an open and welcoming space to explore how our thoughts, interpretations, and inner reactions influence how we experience everyday life. We will look at how the mind works moment by moment — and how Stoic philosophy helps us relate to our thoughts with more clarity and calm. Whether you’re new to Stoicism or already familiar with its ideas, this discussion is for anyone interested in self-reflection, perspective, and practical philosophy. This time we’ll explore: * First impressions — the immediate thoughts and reactions that arise automatically * Buying into thoughts — how we sometimes treat those impressions as facts * Reframing — learning to question and reshape our interpretations, rather than fighting events themselves No prior knowledge of Stoicism is required — just curiosity about how perspective shapes experience. **Note:** The discussion will be in English unless all participants prefer Finnish. **--** Tule mukaan *Helsingin stoalaisten* kokoontumiseen pohtimaan yhtä stoalaisen filosofian keskeistä oivallusta: **Kokemustamme ei muovaa niinkään se, mitä meille tapahtuu, vaan se, miten tulkitsemme tapahtumat.** Illan aikana keskustelemme yhdessä miten ajatukset, tulkinnat ja sisäiset reaktiot vaikuttavat siihen, millaisena koemme arjen tilanteet. Mitä mielessä tapahtuu ensivaikutelmasta tulkintaan — ja miten stoalainen filosofia voi auttaa suhtautumaan ajatuksiin selkeämmin ja rauhallisemmin. Tapaaminen on avoin ja keskusteleva, ja se sopii niin ensikertalaisille kuin niille, joilla on jo jonkin verran kokemusta stoalaisuudesta. Tällä kertaa tarkastelemme: * Ensivaikutelmia – millaisia ajatuksia ja reaktioita syntyy automaattisesti * Ajatuksiin tarttumista – miten alamme kohdella ensivaikutelmia tosiasioina * Uudelleentulkintaa – taito tarkastella ja muuttaa tulkintojamme, ei itse tapahtumia Erityistietoja ei tarvita — riittää, että olet utelias pohtimaan, miten näkökulma vaikuttaa kokemukseen. **Huom:** Keskustelu käydään englanniksi, elleivät kaikki osallistujat toivo suomea.

Welcome to join our Sahaja Yoga meditation meetings in English! The meetings are free of charge and you can just show up. The group consists of people of different ages and nationalities who have been meditating different periods of time. Newcomers are welcome at any time. We normally sit on chairs or on pillows on the floor, so there is no need to bring a mat and you can wear normal clothes. Meditation means mental silence or thoughtless awareness. You are present here and now, but your mind is not bombarded by thoughts from the past or the future. In this state, you feel peace and joy, which are the essential elements of the present moment. With regular practice of meditation, it is possible to establish this state within us. The group is lead by volunteers who are experienced and can offer guidance to get you started. We give a short introduction to the meditation and after that we do meditation exercises. We also give tips on how to meditate at home. After the meditation class, we have a cup of tea and there is time for questions. Welcome! We hope to see you in our meditation meetings!

Money is everywhere — shaping our choices, relationships, ambitions, and fears. But beneath the spreadsheets and salaries lie deeper questions: Is money just a neutral tool — or something that quietly governs our lives? In this meetup, we explore the philosophical foundations of money and finance — not how to make it, but what it *means*. Discussion avenues may include: * Is money a shared fiction — and if so, why does it have such real power? * Is debt morally permissible — or inherently problematic? * Do we have obligations beyond what contracts specify? * Is lending cooperation… or domination? * Can owing money change what we owe as persons? * Is the desire for wealth a natural motivation — or a corrupting force? * Is the love of money truly the root of all evil? * Can a financial system be morally neutral? * Is inequality a feature of freedom — or a failure of justice? * Does money measure value — or redefine it? * Can everything legitimately be turned into something for sale? We’ll ask whether financial life is merely practical — or fundamentally ethical. No background in economics or philosophy required — only curiosity and a willingness to question the assumptions we live by. **Description by ChatGPT**

This is a relaxed, friendly gardening club where we grow things together and take care of a shared space. We’ll start indoors, planning the garden as a group and sowing seeds, then move outdoors as soon as the ground is warm enough. This is a closed group of 15 volunteers who commit to meeting once a week to garden together, decide what to harvest, and what needs cleaning up or changing. Gardening is a lovely way of being together without pressure. We can chat if we feel like it, or be quiet if that’s what the day calls for. It’s good for mental wellbeing, a chance to be side by side, connected through taking care of living things and watching them grow.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education.
