**PROJECT HAIL MARY!**
**Director:** Phil Lord, Christopher Miller
**Cast:** Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub, Ken Leung
Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there.
As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out.
He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

Reiki Energy Healing Sessions – Porto & Online
Have you ever felt like someone could sense what’s happening inside you — even before you say a word?
That’s often how people describe sessions with me.
I offer **trauma-aware Reiki energy healing** that combines energy work, somatic awareness, and intuitive perception to support emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and deeper clarity.
Each session adapts to **what your system is ready to process**. Some sessions bring deep relaxation and regulation, while others create emotional release or insight.
### Reiki Energy Session — €40
A full Reiki energy healing session focused purely on **the energy work itself**.
We begin with a short conversation about how you’re feeling or what you’d like to focus on. Then you relax while I channel Reiki energy.
This option focuses primarily on **energetic healing and regulation**, without extended intuitive guidance or deeper analysis during the session.
Duration: \~1 hour
### Reiki Energy Healing + Guidance — €60
This session includes the **same Reiki energy healing**, with additional intuitive insights and reflections about emotional patterns, blockages, or themes that may arise during the session.
In addition to the energy work, I may share:
• intuitive observations about patterns or emotional dynamics
• somatic impressions that appear during the session
• reflections that help bring clarity to recurring situations
This option is ideal if you're looking for **both healing and deeper understanding of what is surfacing internally**.
Duration: \~1 hour
# What Reiki Can Support
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy practice that supports balance in the body’s energy system.
Sessions may help with:
• emotional regulation
• stress or burnout
• releasing stored tension
• feeling more grounded and present
• gaining clarity around recurring patterns
• reconnecting with your intuition
You don’t need to believe in anything for Reiki to work — the energy simply supports your system in restoring balance.
***
# Session Format
Sessions are held **online via Zoom (recommended) or WhatsApp video call**.
Languages available:
English • Polish • Italian
# Booking
To book a session, send me a message on Meetup
or email:
📩 withawakenedrose@gmail.com
I’ll confirm availability and provide payment details (Revolut).
# Disclaimer
Reiki is a complementary energy practice and does not replace medical or psychological treatment.
By booking a session, you take responsibility for your own physical and emotional wellbeing.

👩🚀🎬 PROJECT HAIL MARY (IMAX EXPERIENCE)
***🚀 In a world full of uncertainties, sometimes a leap of faith is the only move left.***
**Hello guys** 👋 We’re diving into ‘**Project Hail Mary** where **Ryan Gosling** takes the lead in this curious sci-fi tale produced and directed by **Phil Lord** and **Christopher Miller**.
Filmed exclusively with **IMAX cameras**. The film follows a man who wakes up on an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he got there — and soon realises he’s on a mission to save Earth. Definitely something to chat about over drinks and bring to life in a nutshell.
It’s the perfect day for a sci-fi dive! We’ll start out at **Victory House Wine Bar**, chatting about all those sweet, otherworldly flicks. We’ll probably start with some **predictions of the film** before heading over to **Cineworld IMAX** (look for us in row **E45** and **E46**). After the film, we’ll regroup for an intergalactic commentary, **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)** review, and maybe some extra drinks.
**Can’t wait to see you all there!**
**Let’s make this a blast!**
**Tom & Nick.**

Guitar jam at Pirate Studios, Notting Hill
Due to the weather this week we'll be meeting at Pirate Studios, Notting Hill.
My genres are: rock, blues, folk, singer-songwriter but anything goes. For jamming, we'll pick a chord progression, something not too complicated and then we take turn to improvise melodies on top of it (both guitar solos but also vocalising). Intermediate level and above ideally but any level welcome but you should probably be able to play some chords (to get the most out of it).
Other things we will do:
1. We can play songs - whoever wants to, not going to go round the circle forcing people to play. The songs can be either originals (your own songs) or known songs.
2. We can chat about music or other things
3. Have a drink - bring your fave drink (wine, beer, non-alcoholic)
4. Food goes too (bring your own)
When we've had enough, we say goodbye and go home. People can leave early too if they've got other stuff to do or the whole thing is not their vibe (no hard feelings).
The studio costs a bit to hire so contributions towards that are welcome!

Blood On The Clocktower at The Greene Man
New and Experienced Players Welcome! 🤗
Ever played Werewolf, Mafia or Secret Hitler?
Well this game is like that but on steroids! 😈😇
Ever watched The Traitors and wished you could have a turn? Well now you can!
Suitable for complete beginners, experienced veterans and everyone in between, we Play **'Blood on the Clocktower'** a game where you never know who you can trust...
A great way to meet new people in a fun interactive way, at a bar serving food and drinks
Continue reading for a general description of the game:
Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by 5 to 20 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by an experienced Storyteller.
During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies, culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil.
At 'night' time, players close their eyes and some are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information, spread mischief, or kill. Use all your powers of deduction and deception to survive this game of murder and mystery.
The game will be fully explained at the event.

BASEBALL IS BACK!! Clippers' Home Saturday Opener!!! ⚾ 🧢 🌭 🎆 🧨 🎇 🗽 🦅 🇺🇸
**Summary**
Celebrate America's 250th year and the [Columbus Clippers'](https://www.milb.com/columbus) 50th season by watching [Franklin County's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Clippers) best team play the [best game in the world](https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/babe_ruth_140116) at [one of the ten best](https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/minors/2025/03/26/huntington-park-voted-top-10-minor-league-ballparks-usa-today-10best-awards/82656048007/) baseball stadiums in the United States in their 2026 home Saturday opener!
The first pitch is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. The gates always open an hour before the scheduled first pitch. I'm usually at the ballpark a half an hour before the scheduled first pitch. Clippers' games usually last around two and a half hours.
Being a few minutes early will help us secure good seats.
**Parking**
I personally always like to park in the [McConnell Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/McConnell+Garage/@39.9685114,-83.0103938,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388f24145462d1:0x6238c0f0c851ab70!8m2!3d39.9692957!4d-83.0081175!16s%2Fg%2F1jkw6y27y?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTExNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). If nothing else is going on in the area, this should be $7. However, I've also seen it be as high as $22. I can't say for certain what it will be for this game, but once I know, I will post in the comments.
Alternately, there are other lots in the area you can try which will probably be a few dollars cheaper. [Here is a map](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/q_auto/milb/ernng44ya2xkr4wbheql) of all the garages and lots surrounding the stadium. Keep in mind that many of these are outdoor lots and your car will be out in the elements.
If you decide to look for a different lot, I would mildly recommend either the Buggyworks Lot or the Broadbelt Lot, but I have never parked in either of these myself. Although it won't apply for this game, keep in mind that street parking is also free citywide in Columbus on [Sundays and holidays](https://www.columbus.gov/files/sharedassets/city/v/1/public-service/right-of-way-permit/on-street-parking-out-of-service-policy-and-procedure-final-8.15.2022-signed.pdf).
**Where We'll Be**
Here is a [map of the ballpark](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/milb/qkqohbqjgtx5uwo6zkgn.pdf).
We'll be sitting on Level 3 of the [Left Field Building](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/huntington-park) (aka the "AEP Power Pavilion"), which features a 110 foot bar with six open patios overlooking the field. This area is covered and will be out of any sun or rain that may transpire.
If you enter the park through the Center Field Entrance (which is at the intersection of Nationwide Blvd. and Neil Ave.), there will be a door to your immediate right after you enter that leads to a staircase up into the Tower.
This door is not well-marked, and if you've never been to Huntington Park before, you may wonder if you're actually allowed to go in and up the stairs. Yes, you are.
We'll be on the Tower's "Level 3". I have uploaded to the Photos section of this event page, below, a picture of the sign you want look for after you ascend the stairs, so you'll know you're on the correct floor.
**Tickets**
Do not buy your tickets ahead of time. They will literally be twice as expensive if you buy them on Ticketmaster.
Instead, go to the ticket window near the Center Field Entrance. Buy a *Standing Room Only* ticket (don't worry, you won't be standing), which will cost you a flat $8 with no other taxes or fees.
These tickets never sell out, and this is the cheapest way to get into the park.
**Carry-Ins**
Per the team's [website](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/a-z-guide): "Soft-sided coolers are permitted in the general seating area [which is where we'll be], but not hard-sided coolers; also no alcohol, glass bottles, or cans will be permitted. SMALL bags or backpacks of food items and beverages in plastic bottles are ok. Reusable water bottles are permitted, but must be empty upon arrival. Diaper bags are allowed."
I always bring a disposable plastic bottle of water and refill it as I need at the park. Bottled water at the game is something like 4 or 5 dollars. So if you want a bottle of water, I recommend bringing your own bottle instead of buying it at the park.
**Food & Drink**
The area we'll be in has burgers, hot dogs, salads, soft pretzels, ice cream, and other sorts of things you would expect at a baseball game. I've posted pics of the menu in the Photos section, below.
The burger and fries are $14 plus tax, and they're not bad. (This is what I usually get.) The beer is *really* overpriced. It's like $9, or $20 for a pitcher. If there's some people to help me drink it, though, I'll buy a pitcher of Michelob Ultra.
While we'll be on the penultimate floor of the Tower, the top floor (which has a great view, but is fully exposed to the elements) has a [Dirty Frank's](https://dirtyfranks.com/) hot dog stand. I've never gotten anything from there, though I've been told it's good.
The Donatos pizza stand is also a very short walk away from where we'll be. I love Donatos, but the pizza is so expensive at the ballpark. It's like $9 for a personal-sized pepperoni. It is good, though.
**Peroration**
Let's (watch them) play ball!

Dinner & a Movie: PROJECT HAIL MARY at Marcus Pickerington!
Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U
BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an “old school blockbuster crowd-pleaser” and “a new sci-fi classic!” It’s “deeply hopeful,” well-acted,” funny,” “dramatic,” and “exceptionally rousing throughout!” Others call it “something truly magical” and one that “we’ll be talking about this one for decades to come!” And I believe Slashfilm says it best: “It will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.”

Disc Tues / Choose Your Movie: TOW vs THEY WILL KILL YOU at the Gateway!
Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of the top-reviewed indie drama TOW or the action-comedy-horror THEY WILL KILL YOU! A winner either way! Here are details, trailer and plan for this event:
TOW: This drama follows a homeless Seattle woman who fights her way out of tow-company hell to reclaim her life and the car that held it all together after receiving a tow bill for $21,634. The film is directed by Stephanie Laing and stars Rose Byrne, Dominic Sessa, Demi Lovato, Ariana DeBose, Octavia Spencer, Simon Rex, Elsie Fisher and Corbin Bernsen. Tow premiered to rave reviews at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival where critics declared, “Tow is a winner” and called the film “a story of perseverance, heart, and real fight, the kind of small human story we see less frequently these days, but need now more than ever!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiUtqgeDVI8
THEY WILL KILL YOU: A woman takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building's history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery. The film is directed by Kirill Sokolov and Zadie Beetz, Myha'la, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette. The film is being released immediately following its premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival earlier this month. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYqQPiXpi4w
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the upstairs lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase via the GFC website is advised! Once you have yours, please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies
FREE meetup. Register HERE 🎟️- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unlocking-retirement-capital-flips-wholesales-private-money-strategies-tickets-1983411263481?aff=cicmeetupapp
**Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies in Self-Directed Accounts**
**Featuring Guest Speaker:** Amanda Holbrook (Specialized Trust Company)
**Hosted by:** Columbus Investors Club
### **Event Description**
Most people think retirement accounts are passive.
That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix.
They’re wrong.
This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way).
### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook**
We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid.
### **What You’ll Learn**
Amanda will walk through:
**Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)**
* How to structure the deal correctly
* How expenses must be handled
* When UBIT may apply
**Wholesale within a retirement account**
* How assignments work
* What type of income it creates
**Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale**
* How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs
* How to structure notes properly
* How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account
### **The Core Idea**
There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts.
This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.**
### **Who This Event Is For**
* Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules
* Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources)
* People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds
### **Event Details**

**Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)*
