After Earth School continues the journey begun in My Earth School, focusing on how inner insight can be lived more fully. Drawing on diverse contemplative and contemporary practices, it offers reflective tools for gently questioning old assumptions about identity and limitations. After Earth School is a follow‑on to My Earth School for readers who have begun to declutter their inner lives and relate more gently to their own humanity, yet still feel that deeper change has not fully filtered into everyday experience. It focuses on how to recognise a quieter, more spacious sense of self and to live from that perspective in practical, grounded ways. Drawing on a range of contemplative and psychological approaches—from traditional teachings to contemporary tools such as artificial intelligence—the book introduces reflective exercises designed to question habitual assumptions about limitation and identity. Rather than promising a life without challenges, it encourages a different relationship with thoughts, emotions and “reality”, so that meaning, ease and joy become more available in ordinary life. Throughout, Leon Deith invites readers to consider themselves not only as individuals with personal histories, but also as expressions of a wider field of awareness, exploring what this shift in self‑understanding might look like in day‑to‑day living. ​ Whether you are navigating a crossroads, feeling stuck in old habits, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, After Earth School creates a calm, supportive space to step back, reset and move forward with a little more clarity and confidence.

🔩 ***Resurrection never goes to plan—especially when the Bride has her own ideas. Once she’s back… she decides what happens next.⚡️*** 👋 **Hello everyone!** Looks like Monster horror is back, and this time Maggie Gyllenhaal dives straight into the genre with a bold horror-romance reimagining of **Bride of Frankenstein**.

*“Some men are born lucky; others are called Didius Falco”.* For our next read, we will discuss Lindsey Davis’s historical mystery novel *The Silver Pigs* on Saturday 7th March. **About the book:** * The first Lindsey Davis's Marcus Falco mystery series (1989), introduces the wise-cracking Roman informer Falco as a sort of detective in AD 70 Rome and Britain. * Alongside the mystery and adventure, the novel sets up a slow-burn romance that develops over subsequent installments. * The book received awards and widespread acclaim. **About the event:** * Location: The Mad Hatter Pub, 3-7 Stamford St, London SE1 9NY * Timing: Saturday 7th March from 3-5pm. Approximately 15 minutes walk from Waterloo station along the river.

Happy reading!

It's Herschel's birthday (1792). Not William, who discovered Uranus & various moons around it and Saturn, or Caroline who found a few comets. John, continuing the family work completed mapping of the Southern Hemisphere sky, and named the discovered moons - in Saturn's case, after Titans in Greek mythology. First stop along this Wealden walk will be his home at The Moor, a quintessential English village complete with green where cricket was played in Herschel's day, church, and the Eight Bells. The church houses a very unusual relic, delivered in 1944. Next in our orbit is Bewl Water, the largest stretch of water in SE England, described as unlike anywhere else. [Bewl Water - The Ultimate Destination for a Family Day Out](https://www.bewlwater.co.uk/) Final stop is Ticehurst, with chocolate box cottages. Further details: [Best places to live: Ticehurst, Sussex | Muddy Stilettos | Muddy Stilettos](https://sussex.muddystilettos.co.uk/best-places-to-live/sussex/best-places-to-live-ticehurst/) And when taking photographs along the walk - who coined the word 'photography' which he helped develop? Yep, John Herschel. Outward Travel: Take the train departing 9.24 AM from London Bridge to ETCHINGHAM. The return train fare with a Network Card or GroupSave is £17.00. Gather outside the ticket office at London Bridge to arrange group tickets. Walk start: 10.31 AM from Etchingham rail station. Bring a packed lunch. Village / pub stops. Orbital walk. *How to join?* * The walk is entirely free of charge; * You only arrange for your own travel and pub expenses; * Understand our terms and conditions below (the "IMPORTANT" part); * Understand how to stay safe outdoors, as you will be responsible for yourself. See our quick safety tips: http://www.meetup.com/Free-Outdoor-Trips-From-London/about/ *What to bring* * Plenty of water, 1-2 litres recommended * Enough snacks and packed lunch to keep you energized along the walk * Extra snacks and an extra packed lunch just in case * Rainproof (ideally waterproof) clothing, sturdy shoes/boots you don't mind getting muddy * Spare socks * Walking poles and/or an umbrella :-) * Yourself... * ...and your camera! * Cash for train ticket * Cash for pub at the end of the walk?

It is not organized by a business nor any entity with commercial purposes. Any trip details, travel advice, route planning, instructions and other content in our group merely represent our shared personal knowledge, research and suggestions as outdoor enthusiasts. As this is no business, there is no "product", "service" or "package" and also no "tour guide", "operator" or "walk leader". Each participant is responsible for their own safety. Even if some of us are very experienced walking outdoors, nobody assumes responsibility for any kind of injury, damage or loss that may happen. Despite this, we take extreme precautions and all trips we plan are very safe, fun, highly educational and popular. Our experienced members volunteer their time and effort to shape a pleasant and quality adventure for everyone :-) By participating you acknowledge and agree with this disclaimer. Here are our tips on staying safe during outdoor trips: http://www.meetup.com/Free-Outdoor-Trips-From-London/about/ TRAVEL, ACCOMMODATION, INSURANCE Although we provide detailed suggestions, each participant is expected to arrange their own travel - this gives everyone the freedom and choice. Anyone interested in travel or outdoor insurance should also arrange this on their own. As mentioned above we always take extreme precautions, but some people may still feel safer if covered. As most of our trips are confirmed or postponed very close to the event date - heavily depending on the weather forecasts - we advise not to buy this until the last minute. People getting tickets from the same station are encouraged to meet early on the day to benefit from discounts such as GroupSave.

Before our main series of games launches in April, we’re running a special one‑off event — perfect for newcomers who want to dip their toes into our role playing games or returning players looking for a fresh adventure. This session will take place **indoors at a small hall**, rather than our usual outdoor woodland setting. It’s a great chance to try things out in a relaxed, comfortable environment before the full season begins. **There will be no cost for the game** outside of drinks/snacks bought from the venue. If you RSVP, a game runner will get in touch with you directly to provide **your character details** and everything you need to step into the story. **✨ Game Brief: Cosmic Swap Meet ✨** Swap Meets have existed in one form or another for centuries. Scattered across the galaxy, they’re the places where anything of value can be bought or sold — and where law‑abiding citizens and notorious outlaws mingle without judgement. You weren’t sure your particular problem could be solved anywhere, even at a Swap Meet. Then, unexpectedly, an invitation arrived. You’ve been summoned to the **exclusive Bazaar on Wraith**, a privately owned space station known only to those with deep pockets or rare treasures to trade. Normally, entry requires a fortune… or an item so extraordinary it earns you a seat at the table. Here, the Swap Meet takes the form of a secretive auction where the unusual, the forbidden, and the impossible change hands far from the eyes of the wider galaxy. As a player, you have the chance to chase your ambitions, bargain for your desires, and maybe — just maybe — walk away with the one thing that could change everything. **If you dare.**

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

## Hey Columbus WIP peeps! ## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for?? **\-\-\-\-\-\-** **A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.** **March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM** **Rev1 -- NEW SPACE** **330 Rush Alley #100** **Parking Options:** • **Rev1 at The Peninsula** • **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St. • **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St. • **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St. • **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St. • **Metered Street Parking** **What moves are you making?** A promotion you’re working toward. A role change you’re considering. A bigger leadership opportunity. A conversation that needs to happen. A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind. For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments. **Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time. Here’s how it will work: • You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now • You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants) • Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area • We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation ### Coaching Topics: • Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team) • Career Transitions & What’s Next • Growing Into Leadership • Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes • Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about. Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful. If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10. RSVP here! [https://community.womenpm.org/c/all-local-events/making-moves-a-columbus-wip-event](https://community.womenpm.org/c/all-local-events/making-moves-a-columbus-wip-event "https://community.womenpm.org/c/all-local-events/making-moves-a-columbus-wip-event") *And if you haven't joined the WIP group - do that too, would ya?!?!* — Your Columbus Chapter Leads - Amber, Leah and Liz!
