💟À vous, femmes hypersensibles qui sentez que les fêtes font remonter des blessures anciennes, parfois enfouies depuis longtemps… Je vous partage ici une invitation apaisante, destinée à celles qui se reconnaîtront. Quand la relation avec votre mère est compliquée, les fêtes peuvent laisser des traces. On sourit, on encaisse certaines remarques à table, on évite les tensions pour préserver l’ambiance familiale…😞 Et une fois que tout est passé, le corps lâche : fatigue, tristesse, ruminations persistantes, sensation d’avoir trop pris sur soi. Si ce que vous lisez résonne, c’est aussi parce que ce vécu m’est familier. 🍁Si : \- vous vous sentez vidée après les fêtes\, parce que vous avez encaissé les remarques blessantes ou intrusives de votre mère à table\, \- vous avez “pris sur vous” une fois de plus pendant le repas de Noël pour ne pas être perçue comme « trop sensible »\, \- vous avez parfois le sentiment que votre sensibilité est utilisée contre vous pour vous faire culpabiliser\, surtout pendant les fêtes\, \- vous sentez que votre mère a de bonnes intentions\, mais ses réactions vous épuisent ou vous font douter de vous\, \- vous ressentez le besoin de relâcher les tensions\, sans pression\, sans attente\, Alors cette invitation pourrait vous parler. ✨ Se remettre émotionnellement et retrouver son énergie après les fêtes avec une mère envahissante C’est un temps en ligne, pensé comme un espace de récupération, pas comme une conférence de plus. Pendant cette rencontre, je vous proposerai : 🌿 un temps de compréhension simple sur ce qui se rejoue émotionnellement après les fêtes, 🌿 une libération émotionnelle guidée par l’EFT, pour relâcher ce qui a été encaissé, 🌿 une courte pratique corporelle pour permettre au corps de souffler et de retrouver de l’énergie. 💜L’intention ici n’est pas de juger qui que ce soit, mais de s’offrir un espace de bienveillance et de compréhension. Ce n’est pas un moment pour analyser ou expliquer : c’est un espace pour se détendre, pour relâcher, pour récupérer. 💝Si vous êtes hypersensible, que ce Noël avec votre mère vous laisse souvent épuisée ou coupable, et que vous ressentez le besoin d’un temps doux, sécurisant, sans pression… vous êtes au bon endroit. 👉 Lien d’inscription : [https://webinaire-femme-hypersensible-mere-envahissante-is-isadora.mystrikingly.com/](https://webinaire-femme-hypersensible-mere-envahissante-is-isadora.mystrikingly.com/)

**Cérémonie Breathwork & Cacao :** **fin 2025 : Clôture de cycle de 9 ans.** **Dimanche 27 décembre – 18h45 à 21h00** **64 Rue des Tournelles 75003** **Inscription obligatoire : Billetweb, via le lien :** **https://www.billetweb.fr/breathwork-et-cacao53** Infos : ilariainscriptions@gmail.com La respiration connectée est une pratique de transformation profonde, qui agit par le souffle, le corps et la conscience. Il ne s’agit pas d’hyperventilation, mais d’une respiration fluide et continue — sans pause entre l’inspire et l’expire. Ce rythme ouvre un état intérieur particulier de conscience modifié, où les tensions, émotions ou mémoires accumulées peuvent se libérer naturellement. Il s’agit de libérer l’espace occupé par le passé pour retrouver notre essence vivante dans le présent — là où tout peut être recréé. Le breathwork agit en profondeur sur notre système nerveux, allégeant les automatismes de fuite, de lutte, de figement et de soumission ou recherche d’approbation. De là renaît une capacité créative, libre et ouverte face à la vie. Le Cacao soutient ce processus en douceur et en amplifie la profondeur et l'intégration. Cependant la prise de Cacao est facultative. La musique, le tambour et un toucher discret viennent soutenir la libération des nœuds énergétiques. Inspirée du Rebirthing et de la Respiration Holotropique, cette approche s’adresse à celles et ceux qui souhaitent : alléger ce qui limite leur énergie vitale, ce qui restreint leur perception et leur réponse à la vie, calmer le mental et le stress, ressentir davantage d’unité entre le corps, le cœur et l’esprit, connecter les profondeurs de leur être. La respiration connectée que je propose est une synergie intégrative entre la puissance exploratoire transpersonnelle de la respiration holotropique, et la libération émotionnelle du rebirthing. " Ce processus apparemment simple, combinant respiration, musique évocatrice et d’autres formes de son, possède un potentiel extraordinaire pour ouvrir la voie à l’exploration de tout le spectre du monde intérieur. » — Stanislav Grof Aucune expérience préalable n’est nécessaire. Chaque session est une exploration guidée et sécurisée, accompagnée par la musique, la présence, et le tambour. Participation : 50 € Participation petits budgets ( RSA, chomage ) 35 € Infos : ilariainscriptions@gmail.com ilariarubei.com @ilaria.rubei

Wild Ones: Annual Native Seed Swap January 10, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am Join Wild Ones Columbus for their annual native seeds swap. If you have native seeds to share, please label them with the Latin name and common name. The seeds don’t need to be removed from the seed head if you aren’t sure how to do it, but remove as much stem as possible. Bringing seeds is not required. Bring bags or envelopes to store seeds. Inniswood Metro Gardens 940 S. Hempstead Rd. Westerville, OH 43081 Phone (614)895-6216 This event will be held in the Greenhouse/Multipurpose Building located near the east end of the parking lot. Click here to see the Inniswood map. If you have native seeds to share, label each species with this information: * Botanical Name * Common Name Species we will accept: * Species native to our ecoregion (8.2.4) - Best * Species native to Ohio and surrounding states - Good * Straight species only - no cultivars. The seeds don’t need to be removed from the seed head if you aren’t sure how to do it, but don’t leave much stem on the seed heads. Please email the list of species to Mary May so we can prepare information for attendees. You can bring the seeds on the day of the swap, or we can arrange to have them picked up beforehand - just let her know in the email. If you don’t have any seeds to bring, no worries. If you are new to native plants or didn't have time to collect seeds, there are ALWAYS plenty from those that do bring them! We love to see "newbies" at our seed exchange! Also, remember to bring something to put seeds in such as envelopes, paper bags or containers.

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
