Seeing Clearly Is Just the Beginning
Seeing Clearly Is Just the Beginning
Seeing clearly does not automatically end unuseful habits, emotional or ways of thinking that create distress. It changes how we meet them. In this session, we explore why insight alone is not enough and how practice continues in the midst of these patterns and how to have a new relationship with it. This offers a mature and grounded understanding of the path. ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฅ ๐„๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐Œ๐ž๐๐ข๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง Join a weekly Zen meditation class where you can slow down, reconnect with your inner peace and train your mind to be present.

Board Games at Arkade (Thursday)
Pay the **5 โ‚ฌ board gaming fee** to the bar at the counter when you arrive. You must be at least 18 years old to enter [Arkade](https://www.arkade.fi/). We play in English and the game rules are taught before starting play, unless everyone is already familiar with the game. No previous experience with board gaming required. The venue has a great board game library, the host and other players usually bring their own games too: our selection varies weekly. We're a very casual group so you're welcome to arrive early or late and join whatever game is starting up, there is no attendance tracking, or welcoming process. The bar has alcoholic drinks, mocktails, and soft drinks available as well as some snack foods. They've been okay with people ordering food to the bar with meal delivery services. If you are feeling sick, please stay home.

Funeral of Free Speech
Funeral of Free Speech
**On this solemn day, we gather to mourn the fading state of free speech.** **CONCEPT:** **The alarm bells of the 1930s are ringing again.** Many of us are coming to a troubling realization: freedom of expression is under pressure across the world. In countries that call themselves defenders of democracy, and in those that openly reject it, speech is increasingly regulated, restricted, or punished. As *The Washington Post* โ€” owned by Jeff Bezos โ€” says, *โ€œDemocracy dies in darkness.โ€* Let each of us be a candle that keeps the light alive. *** **DISCUSSION HOMEWORK (For a more nuanced conversation โ€” recommended but not required):** 1. Government actions toward TikTok in the United States โ€” bans, forced sale discussions, and national security debates 2. Consolidation and mergers in media corporations * Skydance Media & Paramount Global (U.S.) * NDTV ownership changes (India) 3. Arrests or disciplinary actions involving university students and journalists related to campus publications or protest reporting 4. Arrests of peaceful protestors in the UK under public order laws 5. Suppression of protest movements in Iran 6. Cases involving the killing or detention of journalists in conflict zones and authoritarian states 7. Media censorship, platform moderation, and speech regulation worldwide **And Most Importantly** 8. The censoring of AI. The real life example are the 7 points mentioned above which were written originally by me and then put on Chat GPT which basically removed the names of several countries i. e. Saudi Arabia and Israel. AI generalised the language. To see the original language come to our event! You are welcome to come, listen, question, and learn. *** **PROGRAM STRUCTURE** 1. Why are you here? โ€” Your farewell message to free speech 2. Who โ€” or what โ€” is responsible for the decline of free expression? 3. What can we do to protect and strengthen it? *** **GROUND RULES** * No bad-faith arguments * No misinformation or unsupported claims * Respectful disagreement is welcome * Evidence beats slogans *** **LOCATION** To be decided โ€” somewhere in Helsinki.

**Caller: Dan Kappus** **Band: Trillium** **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 youโ€™ve seen in period films such as โ€œPride and Prejudiceโ€, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. Thatโ€™s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like โ€œswing your partnerโ€ and โ€œdo-si-do,โ€ like youโ€™ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alรก โ€œRiverdance.โ€ 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. THATโ€™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!

IxDA Chat n Pancakes
Join members of the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. There _might_ be a little snow, but there _will_ be effectively infinite serve-yourself coffee, so it evens out if you ask me. Just a reminder, while the other locations are great too, weโ€™re at the Lane Ave one this time.
Wednesday Night Meditation Practice
Wednesday Night Meditation Practice
Join us on Wednesday nights at 7pm for two 25 minute quiet meditations, with one short walking meditation in between. There will be a brief and informal conversation afterward. Stay for as long as you like and feel free to bring or share whatever is on your mind. All Zen Center events are also available via Zoom at bit.ly/IndyZen.
