Improve Relationship! Free Talk
Have you ever experienced a relationship that soured into bitter or unresolved conflict? Have you ever attempted to connect with someone and seen your efforts come to nothing?
WHAT IF you could resolve any upset and restore harmony?
WHAT IF you could build positive relationships that last?
NOW YOU CAN!
The secret to successful relationships depends upon knowing what underlies all human relations, and nothing teaches you that basic foundation better than the how to improve relationships with others course.
Today talk will go for roughly one hour, including the answering of all your questions. You also have the option to do a free personality test which takes about 20 minutes to fill out and another 30 min to go over the results with you.
This free meetup talk is open to all people of goodwill. If the time and date does not suit you then contact the Event Organizer via meetup and rearrange it.

Find Your Personality Match - Make Friends (Age group: 25-45))
๐ **A new one-on-one, personality-based connection experience**
Many of you have been asking about structured events and if Iโd ever bring them back.
Wellโฆ here it is - a new version, more intentional, and built around something I care about : **matching people based on personality.**
Over the years, Iโve seen how hard it can be to find people you truly click with as adults. Small talk goes nowhere, and most events donโt give you the space for real conversation.
๐ซ **What to Expect**
This is not speed dating, and itโs not a big mixer.
Itโs a curated, one-on-one connection experience where youโll meet a few people whoโve been matched to you based on personality and vibe.
Expect:
* A cosy, comfortable venue
* A hosted structure so youโre never left awkwardly standing around
* A series of guided one-on-one conversations
* A relaxed atmosphere where you can genuinely be yourself
* This is not dating focused event, there will be a seperate one for dating
Each conversation is designed to feel natural โ because the match is based on compatibility
Get your tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1985176043987?aff=oddtdtcreator
๐งญ **Before the Event**
Once you get your Eventbrite ticket, youโll receive a **short personality test (If you have already taken the test at a previous event you don't need to do it again)**.
It takes only a few minutes but helps us understand your communication style, energy, and compatibility factors.
This is how we curate meaningful one-on-one pairings for the event.
๐ฟ **Come Join Us**
If youโre tired of small talk and ready to meet people who truly fit your personality, this is for you.
A warm, intentional space created for deeper conversations and genuine chemistry - whether it becomes friendship, something romantic, or just a surprisingly great chat.
RSVP now โ spots are kept limited to ensure quality one-on-one time.
Getting Inner Answers the Easy Way
Young and old people of all faiths and beliefs are welcome to this ECK Light and Sound Service, entitled:
**Getting Inner Answers the Easy Way**
You will have a chance to discover more about yourself as Soul, an eternal, creative, spiritual being - living in a world of apparent limitations.
Join in warm-hearted sharing of personal stories with spiritual principles. The service may include features such as a guest speaker, light musical performances, panels, and group discussions.
Services always include time to experience the Light and Sound of God with a HU chant and brief contemplation time. Participation is respectfully each personโs choice.
Explore all the spiritual skills and talents that lie within you to navigate life with greater ease. These truths are for you to discover through your own personal experience.
We look forward to connecting with you in person and please feel free to stay for light refreshments and a chat with fellow spiritual explorers after the service.

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 โ 5 PM).

Telestrations

Cards Against Humanity
UNO Attack
Jackbox Games

Humanist Program
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.
We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
