Σεμινάριο Ανδρικής Αυτοβελτίωσης. Ένα σεμινάριο για να βρεις το χαμένο νόημα και να ανακτήσεις την ενέργειά σου **Σου ακούγεται γνώριμο το παρακάτω;** Ξυπνάς κουρασμένος. Βγάζεις ένα 8ωρο με το ζόρι, σε μια δουλειά που δεν σου αρέσει. Ο βραδινός σου «ελεύθερος χρόνος» αναλώνεται σκρολάροντας ατελείωτα στο κινητό. **Δεν είναι αυτό που ονειρευόσουν για τα 30, τα 40 ή τα 50 σου.** Πίστευες πως μέχρι τώρα τα πράγματα θα ήταν διαφορετικά. Ότι θα έβρισκες νόημα στη δουλειά σου. Ότι θα είχες μια ευτυχισμένη οικογένεια και αρκετά χρήματα για να ζεις χωρίς μόνιμο άγχος. Η ζωή υποτίθεται πως θα ήταν μια ομαλή πορεία, με μόνη κατεύθυνση προς τα πάνω. Πώς πήγαν τα πράγματα τόσο στραβά; Και ποιες είναι οι επιλογές σου τώρα; **Σε αυτό το Σεμινάριο, θα ανακαλύψεις:** Σε αυτή την βιωματική, διαδραστική συνάντηση, θα πάρεις πραγματικά εργαλεία για άμεση εφαρμογή. * Τους **3 μεγαλύτερους μύθους** για την ανδρική ευτυχία που σε κρατούν στάσιμο. * Ένα απλό πλαίσιο για να **χτίσεις ανθεκτικότητα**, ώστε να διαχειρίζεσαι τα απρόοπτα χτυπήματα της ζωής. * Πρακτικούς, καθημερινούς τρόπους για να βρεις και να **δημιουργήσεις περισσότερο νόημα** στη ζωή σου. * Μια **live καθοδηγούμενη άσκηση** σχεδιασμένη να σου δώσει εξατομικευμένες, πρακτικές λύσεις που μπορείς να εφαρμόσεις από την επόμενη κιόλας μέρα. Δεν πρόκειτε για λίστα με "life hacks" ή γρήγορες λύσεις. Στόχος να κατανοήσεις εις βάθος τα πραγματικά συστήματα που καθορίζουν την ευημερία σου και οδηγούν σε **βιώσιμες αλλαγές.** **Είσαι έτοιμος να ξεκολλήσεις;** Αυτή είναι η ευκαιρία σου να καταλάβεις τι πάει στραβά και, το κυριότερο, **τι να κάνεις γι' αυτό.** ➡️ **Κλείσε τη Θέση σου Τώρα** Ανυπομονώ να τα πούμε από κοντά!

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host* **DISCLAIMERS**: The Hilliard Wine Club is just that, a club. It is not a commercial venture nor a non-profit organization [501(c)(3)] and as such does not provide commercial services such as accepting credit cards or retailing wine or other products. The weekly Queen of Hearts Raffle is a fund-raising event for the club to cover special events, entertainment and frequent cost shortfalls such as when more people RSVP than show up after wine is purchased to accommodate a larger group or when people show up on freestyle night without any wine to share (please don’t do that). Personal responsibility is the minimum we expect from our members who are encouraged to limit their alcohol intake as needed to allow for an enjoyable evening for everyone. Wine is the primary focus and choice beverage of the wine club. Hard liquor consumption is highly discouraged. On occasions when someone has consumed more alcohol than is allowed by law to operate a motor vehicle, members are encouraged to use a ride-share service, a taxi, a sober friend or a designated driver. Your safety and well being are of great concern to the leadership of the club, but are ultimately the responsibility of the individuals. Photographs and videos taken at the club by individuals and/or leadership of the club are the property of their creators and may be used as desired as long as their use is compliant with the law. In photographic privacy terms, you have the same rights as you do walking down a public street (near zero). Please do not attend any of our events if you are not aware of and in agreement with our disclaimers and policies. Members who behave in an anti-social manner can and will be banned from the club and barred from entry if needed (don’t test me on this), though admittedly it is a rare instance in which someone’s behavior necessitates being banned for life. Since 2017, there have only been a few. [Last updated on April 2, 2025]
