Season's greetings y'all, Coming all the way from Norway to Nova this week, along with the weather it seems, is the family drama, Sentimental Value. It will be screening in cinema 3 at 6:40pm and rates quite highly on IMDB which is re-assuring. We'll be in the meeting place [read on for details] from 6:30pm. If you miss us there, then catch us in the cinema or the Nova Bar afterwards. If you're out of town, or otherwise unable to attend, then I look forward to seeing you in 2026. Otherwise, wishing you a safe and happy holiday season. Dan **--=>+ Meeting Spot +<=--** Outside the clothing store Black Orange. It is inside Lygon Court next to Brunettis. Join the group at the meeting spot 10 mins before the start time or see us in the movie. **--=>+ The Film +<=--** Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World) returns with SENTIMENTAL VALUE, winner of the Cannes Grand Prix and starring returning muse Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) alongside Stellan Skarsgård (Chernobyl) and Elle Fanning (A Complete Unknown). Sisters Nora (Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) reunite with their estranged father Gustav (Skarsgård), a charismatic, once renowned director. When he offers stage-actress Nora a role in his new film, a deeply personal story that he hopes will launch a comeback, she turns it down. Nora soon discovers her part has been given to a young and eager Hollywood star, Rachel Kemp (Fanning), who begins to work on the film immediately. Suddenly, both sisters are forced to navigate their complicated relationship to Gustav alongside dealing with an American star nosing around their complex family dynamics. Some Norwegian language, English subtitles **--=>+ Tickets +<=--** Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward. **--=>+ Afterwards+<=--** We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice. If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's

The Philosophy behind the OM practice is one that we can use as a map in all of our relationships, to develop deeper levels of intimacy, connection and flow. People OM because they desire to: ⚑ Feel more connected, to themselves & to others. ⚑ Feel more confidence & higher levels of vitality ⚑ Feel more in the Orgasmic State ⚑ Feel more comfortable with their body & self expression ⚑ Cultivate greater focus & capacity for attention ⚑ Have more pleasure in their lives The OM practice is simple, specific and repeatable, focusing on the clitoris, the female center of power and pleasure. Every OM is set up the same way so participants can stop thinking and instead follow the feeling, listen to their bodies, and be present. OM Practitioner Training is the perfect way to learn the basics of OM and the philosophy behind the practice, which you can map over any area of your life where there’s connection involved. Once having completed the training you will have access to practitioners world-wide, to continue your OM journey where ever you travel. * OM TRAINING IS FOR BOTH SINGLES AND COUPLES EXPECT FROM TRAINING: ⚑ An introductory to OM philosophy - a way to live in flow state, fueled by desire and in connection. ⚑ The difference between climax and orgasm ⚑ An understanding of what is required for the body to enter into The Orgasmic State ⚑ Techniques to move your attention from your head to your body ⚑ Skills to increase sensation in your body ⚑ Female anatomy and how to find "the spot" ⚑ The Steps to OM ⚑ Stroking technique ⚑ How to ask for what you want, from the voice of your desire HOW IT WORKS: • Sessions 1 & 2: OM Philosophy & The OM Practice 90 minute session.

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In 2013, in collaboration with Irish colleagues, she founded *The Ireland Project*, an intercontinental devised theatre work with high school students in New York and Tallaght, Ireland. Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular. Food and drinks will be provided at the event.
