🍂🍁Bambesch Exploration 3 (12km) 🍂🍁
Hello Friends!
Let's go and explore some more new paths in Bambesch, to add a new trail to our "in case it rains cats and dogs" repository of alternatives, when the most important thing is a shelter for everyone to fit in for the break, so it doesn't rain into our coffee.
No rain tomorrow, of course, but it's too cold for a very good, long picnic, or going somewhere new, and we think "must be nice when it's green".
Same starting point as last week, same lunch break location, but 97.5% different paths!
We're going more east this time, crossing the plateau with a little bit of agriculture, maybe there is a great view over the Eich valley and Kirchberg. When we are closest to Bereldange, there is a place called "Juegdschlass" (hunting castle?)
I always see the sign when I drive down from Bridel. Probably a lot of you have seen it too (the sign), unless you were too focused on your speedometer because of the speeding camera.
Then we will cross the road again into the part of Bambesch where, after 10km, we will be at our beloved shelter. After the break, it's less than 2 until the end.
**Meeting Point:**
We will meet at the hotel "Sieweburen" and start the hike around 10:50.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/6RMGoU7Xg4B1S1tY9
**Public Transport:**
There are multiple buses, 21, 33, the destination is right in the middle between the bus stops "Rollingergrund, Roudebierg" and "Rollingergrund, Villeroy & Boch", depending on which direction you come from, one of them is the best.
And if you miss both, you will do some jogging as a warm-up :)
**Disclaimer:**
The hike is at your own risk, and please make sure you wear proper shoes and bring some water for yourself!
Looking forward to hiking with you!
Jens.

Gentle Deep Conversations & Drinks: What Are You Growing Into This Year?🌱
Let’s meet in the middle of March for a gentle, warm, and slightly unpredictable afternoon together.
As winter slowly gives way to spring — a season when everything begins to awaken again — we’ll take a moment to reflect on the question:
What Are You Growing Into This Year? 🌱
🌟 What to expect
A small circle of open-minded people, with tea, coffee, or food in hand, sharing reflections, philosophy, psychology, or simply ideas and inspirations that arise naturally in the moment.
The topic is suggested above, and the conversation will flow organically. 🪄
We’ll explore the questions step by step, from light to deeper, in a roundtable format.
For example:
• What’s your name, where are you from, and what are you doing in Luxembourg?
• What is something new you have started exploring this year?
• If this year had a theme for you so far, what would it be?
• What small change in your life has already made a difference this year?
• Is there a skill or quality you would like to develop more this year?
• What are you currently investing more time or energy in?
• Is there something you are slowly letting go of this year?
• What kind of person do you feel you are slowly becoming?
• What has helped you grow the most in recent years: people, challenges, or experiences?
• If this year goes well for you, what might look different by the end of it?
• What is one quiet intention you have for the rest of this year?
• …and whatever else naturally emerges.
There’s no pressure to share deeply — listening is just as welcome as speaking. ✨

✅ Check out the book [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9744812-flourish). You can audio-read it on Audible, Spotify Premium and Storytel (9.5 hours).
🎉 We're meeting on the 15th of March (Sunday) at 14:00 at Park Plaza Hotel, ground floor, in the *library area*, on the right, after passing the reception.
💡You can join us even if you haven't finished the book. In this book club, we learn by hands-on activities and games!
Happy reading everyone! 🙏🏼

Algorithmic Trading & Crypto
## (Lesson 2)
## What to expect
Project Equilibrium is an in-person introduction to disciplined, rule-based trading automation. This first event is designed to be clear, practical, and approachable no hype, no pressure, and no prior technical background required.
### Why we meet (two-session structure)
This meetup is structured as **two lessons**:
**Lesson 1 — The “Why” (mindset + framework)**
* What Project Equilibrium is (and what it is not)
* Why we focus on process, rules, and execution discipline
* What “24/7 execution” means in practice
* Q&A and open discussion
**Lesson 2 — The “How” (step-by-step setup)**
* A simple walkthrough of the basic tools you need
* Step-by-step guidance to install and prepare the required exchange apps/accounts
* A clear checklist to be ready for future sessions
(You won’t be left alone—everything is explained calmly and in order.)
### What to bring
To make the second lesson smooth, please bring:
* **A smartphone** (for authentication and exchange app setup)
* **A laptop** (for the setup steps and configuration)
If you only have one device, you can still join Lesson 1. The setup lesson is simply easier with both.
### Who this is for
* People curious about algorithmic execution and portfolio discipline
* Beginners who want a structured approach
* Experienced traders who want more consistency and less stress
### Agenda
* Welcome + introductions
* Lesson focus of the day (Why / How)
* Guided walkthrough (where applicable)
* Q&A + next steps
### How to find the group
* Arrive a few minutes early and look for the **Project Equilibrium** group.
* I will be there to welcome attendees if you’re unsure, simply ask the venue staff for the Meetup group name.

Using Philosophy to Cope with Current Events
So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
