Connection.** English version (Texto en español abajo)**** ​Imagine stepping into a space where you feel free, alive, and fully yourself. ​Where the music awakens something deep inside you. ​Where every breath, every beat, every glance around the room pulls you closer into connection — with yourself, with others, with life. ​✨ This is Wildflow. ​A 4-hour healing journey designed to leave you clearer, more connected, and full of life. **​ The Journey** **​1. Connect — Heart Awakening** ​As the sun sets, we gather in ceremony with cacao. Intentions are set, hearts are opened, and breathwork guides us into presence. A sense of unity begins to grow. **​2. Dance — Rhythmic Flow** ​The music invites movement: organic, tribal, and ethnic sounds that evolve into deep electronic rhythms. No choreography, no expectations — only freedom. The dancefloor is alive, constantly transforming as the night deepens. **​3. Heal — Energetic Release** ​What begins in grounded presence swells into intensity. The beats rise, the energy expands, the dancefloor becomes a temple of release and raw expression. You’re invited to let go, to discover new layers of yourself in the rhythm. **​4. Integrate — Reflective Landing** ​As the music softens, the collective energy settles. The dancefloor shifts again — from primal fire to gentle grounding. You leave balanced, uplifted, and renewed. **​ Why It’s Different** ​That moment of openness you usually chase with substances? ​At Wildflow, it happens naturally. ​Through breath, cacao, music, and trust, you find yourself dropping your guard, moving with abandon, and connecting in a way that feels real, alive, and lasting. ​No alcohol. No drugs. No muchrooms. Just presence, rhythm, and pure human energy. ​✨ Come alone or with friends — you’ll be welcomed into a safe space where connection happens naturally, and you won’t leave alone. **​ Your Invitation** ​Wildflow is not just a night out. ​It’s a dancefloor with intention — a space where your natural essence takes the lead. ​Join us, and remember how good it feels to be fully awake, fully alive, and fully connected. ​ Follow us on Instagram for exclusive sneak peeks! ✨ ​https://www.instagram.com/wildflow.ofc **​Meet the Hosts, DJs & Guest Artists** **​• Henk Schepens** ​Entrepreneur, Trauma-informed Space Holder & Visionary DJ ​**Instagram**: @henksky ​Henk’s journey of self-discovery and healing is deeply connected to the transformative power of music. Seeing its potential to unlock new levels of connection and growth, he is passionate about developing concepts that harness music’s healing energy. As a natural idea generator, Henk channels his experiences into meaningful projects that inspire and create space for exploration and self-awareness. **​• Jazmin Gattyan** ​Cacao Ceremony & Meditation Guide, Space Holder & Yoga Teacher ​**Instagram**: @jaz_happynest ​Jazmin works with ceremonial cacao as a sacred medicine for the heart—an ally that opens the doorway to presence, clarity, and authentic connection. Her ceremonies weave together cacao, guided meditation, and intentional ritual, creating a grounded space for reflection, release, and renewal. She invites participants to deepen their relationship with themselves, align with their inner wisdom, and connect with the collective energy of the group. Each ceremony is an invitation to return to balance, harmony, and heart-centered living. **​• DJ HNKS (Belgium)** ​Instagram: @hnks_music ​HNKS is a Belgian-born DJ with deep roots in Europe's electronic music heritage, HNKS has evolved into a globally recognized artist who brings his distinctive sound to dance floors worldwide. HNKS is known for blending innovative electronic music styles to drive the dance floor to new heights. ​• Guest Artists ​We’ll also invite special guest facilitators and artists , adding another layer of creativity and inspiration to the night. **​✨ Tiered Pricing & Community Support** ​Every WildFlow gathering is more than a dance floor — it’s a journey we co-create together. Each detail is carefully crafted: a beautiful venue, a high-end sound system with sub-woofer, ceremonial cacao, fresh fruits and spring water, and immersive décor that turns the space into a living, breathing and wild atmosphere. ​To make this possible — and keep it accessible — we use a tiered pricing system: ​€25 — Early Bird ​For the first visionaries who help bring the experience to life from the very start. ​€30 — 1st Release ​Join as the next wave of co-creators as the energy builds. ​€35 — 2nd Release ​Secure your place before we reach full flow. ​€40 — Last Chance (final week) ​For those who feel the call just before the event. ​A production with this level of intention, sound, and artistry would normally cost €75 or more, but we intentionally keep prices low to make the experience accessible and to invite you to be part of something new. ​When you join early, you’re not just saving on your ticket — you’re supporting the artists, the production, and the atmosphere that make WildFlow so unique. ​Your presence is more than a ticket — it’s an act of creation, helping shape a new culture of gathering rooted in connection, beauty, and the unifying power of music. **​Important Guidelines** **​1. Substance-Free Space ** ​• We maintain a strictly substance-free environment to promote clarity, genuine connection, and collective well-being. Please respect this policy by refraining from alcohol, recreational drugs, or other intoxicants. **​2. Respect & Inclusivity ** ​• Everyone is welcome. Treat all attendees with kindness and openness. Harassment, discrimination, or any form of harm will not be tolerated. **​3. Consent & Boundaries ✋✅** ​• Ask before engaging in any physical contact. If someone says “no,” please honor that without question. **​4. Dress Comfortably ** ​• Wear clothing that allows free movement and expression. Let your outfit reflect your energy—whether it’s sensual, wild, or uniquely original to you. Layers can help you transition from energetic dance to a calm cooldown. There is a no-shoe policy inside **​5. Minimize Phone Use ✨** ​• This is a space for genuine human interaction. If possible, keep photos and videos to a minimum. Stay present in the shared experience. **​6.

Feel free to take a break for water, rest, fresh air, or to enjoy some fresh 100% organic local farmer fruit whenever you need. ​• We kindly discourage stepping out to smoke and instead invite you to consider whether it’s worth interrupting your experience. **​8. Share the Energy ** ​• This event thrives on collective spirit. Engage with new people, explore the art installations, and let your energy flow freely on the dance floor. **​9. Leave No Trace ️** ​• Help us keep the venue clean and beautiful. Dispose of trash properly, and if you see any litter, feel free to pick it up. **​10.

Donde la música despierta algo profundo en tu interior. Donde cada respiración, cada beat y cada mirada a tu alrededor te acercan más a la conexión — contigo, con los demás, con la vida. ✨ **Esto es Wildflow.** Un **healing journey** de 4 horas diseñado para que salgas con más claridad, más conexión y lleno/a de vida. *** ## El Journey ### 1\. Conectar — Apertura del Corazón Al atardecer, nos reunimos en ceremonia con cacao. Se establecen intenciones, los corazones se abren y el breathwork nos guía hacia la presencia. Comienza a crecer una sensación profunda de unidad. ### 2\. Bailar — Rhythmic Flow La música invita al movimiento: sonidos orgánicos, tribales y étnicos que evolucionan hacia ritmos electrónicos profundos. Sin coreografías, sin expectativas — solo libertad. El **dancefloor** está vivo y se transforma constantemente a medida que la noche avanza. ### 3\. Sanar — Energetic Release Lo que comienza en una presencia enraizada se intensifica.

Integrar — Reflective Landing Cuando la música se suaviza, la energía colectiva se asienta. El dancefloor vuelve a transformarse — del fuego primal al enraizamiento suave.

A través de la respiración, el cacao, la música y la confianza, bajas la guardia, te mueves con libertad y conectas de una manera real, viva y duradera. **Sin alcohol. Sin drogas. Sin mushrooms.** Solo presencia, ritmo y pura energía humana. ✨ Ven solo/a o con amigos — serás bienvenido/a a un espacio seguro donde la conexión ocurre de forma natural, y no te irás solo/a. *** ## Tu Invitación Wildflow no es solo una night out.

With very 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. THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others! Benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering provides a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

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. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

**\*\*\*\* More details and sign up at: https://aifalliance.org/summit-2026/ \*\*\*\*** **What is AI Freedom Alliance?** AI Freedom Alliance promotes the responsible growth of AI guided by practical, commonsense ethics. Our nonprofit is built by professionals from a wide range of industries and is made up entirely of small- and mediumbusiness representatives—never large tech companies. We provide a counterbalance to big corporate influence, focusing instead on how AI can benefit businesses and the world at large. **What’s Happening?** ***The inaugural AI Freedom Alliance Summit.*** This full-day event will explore how we can ensure AI is adopted responsibly through shared ethical standards that empower humanity. The summit will feature interactive and educational sessions led by thought leaders, technologists, policymakers, and advocates who are passionate about making AI fair, transparent, and beneficial for everyone. **Why Attend?** Learn about the legal and technical challenges with implementing AI solutions within your organization. Build better solutions while protecting your organization from legal and compliance risks. And learn how to think strategically about AI as a differentiation tool for your business. This summit is highly recommended for C-Suite leaders to learn as well as interact with each other and our sponsors.
