Cultural Language Exchange - Music and Memories
## 🎶 Music & Memory
### A Themed Language Exchange
**Free · Limited Capacity**
**Slow conversations in a fast city.**
**Let music guide the stories we share.**
Join us for a **friendly, relaxed language exchange** where conversations start from something we all share: **music and the memories it carries**.
A song that reminds you of home.
A melody linked to a person, a place, or a moment in your life.
Music brings people together — even when we don’t share the same language.
This is **not a loud bar meetup or a language class**.
It’s a **warm, welcoming cultural evening**, designed for slower conversations, gentle language practice, and real connection.
To keep the atmosphere personal, the event is limited to **30 people**.
RSVP is required.
### 📌 Note on attendance
This is a small, curated event. If you can’t attend, kindly cancel your RSVP so someone else can join. Thank you 💛

Empieza el domingo con calma: ajedrez, café y buena compañía.
Este es un encuentro de **ajedrez casual**.

**DOMINGO: 11:00 - 13:00**
**Todos los niveles** bienvenidos
Si **tienes un tablero de ajedrez, puedes traerlo.**

Start your Sunday slowly with a relaxed morning of chess, coffee, and conversation.
This is a **casual chess meetup**. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or experienced player, you're welcome to join.
**The idea is to create a calm Sunday ritual where people gather offline and share time together.**
**SUNDAY: 11:00 - 13:00**
All levels welcome
If you **have a chess set, feel free to bring it.**
Charcha Film Club - Steven Spielberg's Artificial Intelligence
**THIS WEEK: “A.I.” - how far has this film predicted 2026 and beyond...?**
We'll be watching and discussing clips from A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The film will be shown the night before at PHENOMENA cinema (https://maps.app.goo.gl/PJ2CHf4itcZCPA8DA) so everyone will have the chance to see the day before the event.
https://phenomena-experience.com/index?pag=ficha&evento=438
Try to watch the film before coming to the meetup! Although we're sure you'll enjoy it even more after attending this event!
This event will be free so please buy drinks/food from us at Charcha to keep making these cultural events possible.
**ALSO SHOW YOUR OWN CLIPS!**
We will discuss the film and have a break before the second half of the meetup where anyone can show a clip (usually youtube) from any film, tv, short etc. which they think is relevent/could help the discussion. The clip can be prepared or you can think of it in the session and we will do our best to pull it up on the screen! We will have clips ready too as backups although we want your perspectives!
If you know a clip you'd like to show/discuss before attending a session, feel free to send it to me privately (meetup or WhatsApp 622229697) or to our WhatsApp group beforehand ([https://chat.whatsapp.com/DVL01x0sUYH2ZeZ5FDfUaI?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DVL01x0sUYH2ZeZ5FDfUaI?mode=gi_t)) so that we can have it prepared.
**“Why another film club?” You may ask.**
Talking about a film can never replace watching one...never.
But we've found that when watching a film, a little context can go a long way.
So we’ve decided to create a film club in the hope that there are other people out there who feel the same; who will enjoy exploring their own perspectives as well as others beyond justifying why you like or dislike a film.
There is no judgement of films here. A-movie, B-movie, high-brow, low-brow, smart, dumb.
This will be an open-discussion. There’ll be themes and certain films chosen but respectful interruptions and questions will be welcome throughout.
To paraphrase Bong Joon-ho, once you overcome your knee-jerk judgement of a film, you can be introduced to so many more amazing films.
This is a new meetup and the format may change. But for now, we will not show whole films at the event. Instead they will be announced beforehand and then discussed with clips at the event.
We hope in the future, different hosts will choose different topics to focus on ranging from the universal like the essence of a story, to the practical minutia of film-making like cinematography, lighting or sound. Everyone is welcome.

Pranic Healing Level I - PH I--- DAY 2 of 2
MCKS PRANIC HEALING® Level I
In PRANIC HEALING® Level 1, you learn the basics of working with your energy aura, including learning to "scan," or feel the energy, to "sweep," or clean away congested energy, and to "energize," or supplement areas in your aura that have a pranic deficiency.
PRANIC HEALING® has been taught to doctors, nurses, massage
therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, shiatsu practitioners, and many others in the healing field. It has allowed them to heal confidently and consistently in the shortest learning time possible. These professionals find PRANIC HEALING® very effective and easy to apply.
Other topics covered in PRANIC HEALING® Level 1:
Energetic anatomy: You will learn to work with the network of chakras, meridians and auras to accelerate the healing processes of your body.
Preventive healing: You will learn to remove the negative energetic patterns of a disease to prevent it from fully manifesting as a physical ailment.
Self-Pranic healing: You will learn to apply these healing techniques to accelerate your own healing.
Step-by-step techniques for ailments related to your:
respiratory system, e.g., asthma,; circulatory system, e.g., heart ailments; gastrointestinal system, e.g., irritable bowel syndrome; musculoskeletal system, e.g., arthritis and back pain; reproductive system, e.g., menstrual problems. You'll also learn how to address common problems as migraines and sinusitis.
Additionally, you'll learn to apply distant healing to loved ones who are not present in the room with you.
All PRANIC HEALING® courses are "experiential," which means that you learn by actually performing the techniques and exercises in class - on yourself and those around you. During class, all the principles will be explained thoroughly and you will practice the techniques exhaustively so you will be confident in your ability to produce positive results when you finish the course.
This is Day 2 of 2 Attendance at day one is required to attend day 2.
The Course text book is Choa Kok Sui, "Miracles through Pranic Healing" Please bring this with you to class.
PRANIC HEALING® Level 1 is a prerequisite to all other GMCKS courses.
For those interested to review the class...Review fee is only $75!!
LOOK AT THIS!! Review for FREE when you bring a new student to class with you.

Trails & Ales! Chestnut Ridge Metro Park / BrewDog DogTap
**History**
[Chestnut Ridge Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/chestnut-ridge/) is historically significant because it sits on a 300-million-year-old outcropping of Blackhand sandstone. Geographically recognized as the very first foothill of the Appalachian Mountains, the ridge rises 1,116 feet above sea level. Long before European settlement, the land served as a sacred site for ancient civilizations. The park contains the Old Maid's Orchard Mound, an eight-foot-tall burial mound constructed by the Adena culture between 1000 B.C. and 100 B.C. This ancient landmark has remained largely intact and is now protected on the National Register of Historic Places.
The documented modern history of the land began with an official survey conducted by Ebenezer Buckingham in 1801. Original land deeds of sale from this period notably bear the signatures of United States Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In the 1830s, Irish laborers arrived at the ridge to quarry its rich Blackhand sandstone. The blocks they hewed were used to build the crucial locks for the nearby Ohio and Erie Canal. Remnants of this early sandstone quarrying operation can still be spotted by sharp-eyed hikers along the modern trails.
Agricultural transformation defined the ridge throughout the mid-to-late 19th century. Settlers discovered that the high elevation created a natural air flow that prevented late-season frost damage to crops. Extensive fruit orchards were planted across the slopes between 1860 and 1880. One notable orchard was established by John Wagner, a Spanish-American War veteran who chose the ridge specifically for its proximity to the bustling Columbus market. The park's current name pays homage to the massive American chestnut trees that once dominated the ridgeline before a devastating ecological blight wiped them out in the early 20th century.
The conservation story of the modern 486-acre park began in March 1962. The Metro Parks board announced land acquisition plans to block developers from building a residential housing development called Chestnut Heights. Director-Secretary Walter A. Tucker advocated heavily for the purchase, citing the ridge's immense value as a scenic overlook for central Ohio. The district systematically purchased multiple agricultural parcels over the next two decades. After operating strictly as undeveloped farmland through the 1970s, Chestnut Ridge Metro Park officially opened to the public on December 18, 1988.
In recent decades, the park has evolved from a quiet hiking spot into a premier regional destination for outdoor sports. A major turning point occurred in 2010 when the Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization (COMBO) partnered with the park district to develop new infrastructure. Volunteers worked extensively to construct a single-track mountain bike trail, which officially opened in October 2011. An expert gravity and flow trail featuring advanced jumps was later integrated into the loop in 2016. Today, the park successfully balances its deep ancient, industrial, and agricultural history with active recreation.
**Map of the Park**
Here is a [map of Chestnut Ridge](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CHR_map_1980px_2026.jpg).
**Summary**
For this event, we will hike the Ridge, Meadows, and Homesite Trails, and Law's Lane, which is unmarked on some maps. None of these trails is individually very long, so we will hike a few permutations and loops until we get in 4-5 miles. The hike will be moderately strenuous.
**Where We'll Meet**
Drive to the rearmost picnic area at the back of the park. There's a latrine here, but there's no water fountain here or anywhere else at Chestnut Ridge. I strongly recommend you bring some water of your own, at least for after the hike.
Cell service at the park is spotty, although your GPS will get you there just fine. The map pin I've provided here is exactly where we'll be meeting and should be able to be used directly in Google Maps, although Chestnut Ridge isn't big and you're unlikely to get lost here.
**After the Hike**
Afterward, we'll head over to [BrewDog DogTap](https://drink.brewdog.com/usa/brewdog-dogtap-columbus) for [drinks](https://usa.brewdog.com/pages/brewdog-lineup) and [food](https://usa.brewdog.com/cdn/shop/files/DogTap_Menu_2025_65e1ff8b-97d4-4f26-80f1-68321d482025.pdf?v=17356939232910340498). They also have an outdoor area that's extremely popular.
I've had their burgers and their pizza, and I think they're both very good. I also really like their [Cold Beer](https://usa.brewdog.com/products/cold-beer-2024) (that's its actual name), which is their American light lager.
BrewDog's actual address is [96 Gender Rd, Canal Winchester, OH 43110](https://www.google.com/maps/place/96+Gender+Rd,+Canal+Winchester,+OH+43110/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88387c06afa21a85:0x804c611d373d8c54?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and they have a large, free parking lot. We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
