This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

**🌸 Video Speed Dating with Cleveland Locals** You get to spend your time in rapid one-on-one Zoom dates with Cleveland locals in your age group matched for you, with a live host coordinating every round. Prior to the event, you take a short personality assessment — that information feeds the matching to line up well-matched Cleveland people for your rounds, which means the rounds feel more natural and less forced. Once the rounds are done, mutual matches are shared privately — so it is mutual or it stays private — and the connection is yours to explore in your own time. **Register by age group:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Cleveland&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Cleveland&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Cleveland&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Cleveland&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Two steps needed:** Meetup rsvp alone does not register you for the event, so click the appropriate age group link above, register, and do the personality quiz — spots run out faster than you would expect so register now, and this is not optional — both steps are required. --- **Event Info** - **Where:** Venue-free — on any modern device with a camera, a stable connection and a camera is all it takes, and your home a quiet office or anywhere suits equally well. - **Host:** A professional host handles everything so you just show up and enjoy, leaving you free to just connect — from start to finish your only job is to have good conversations. - **Vibe:** Easy-going private Zoom chats with Cleveland singles who are done with the usual options, and you leave with more energy than you arrived with. - **Duration:** Usually 75 minutes or so total, and the evening has a natural momentum. **You will love this if:** - Women and men from around Cleveland moving on from unread messages and dead-end conversations and need a better way to meet people. - Locals in Cleveland bored of profiles instead of real people and want to try something that actually works. - Residents based in Cleveland ready to move past matches that ghost after two messages and are ready for something genuine instead. **Here is the format** 1. **Register** – by using the link for your bracket above, then fill in the personality questions as part of registration, as completing both steps locks in your place. 2. **Join the video call** – using the link that will be sent ahead of time, it runs in your browser so setup takes seconds, and a host keeps everything smooth from that point. 3. **Have your dates** – quick private video rounds with compatible Cleveland area locals your age, while a host ensures every round feels natural, as each round is with a Cleveland local matched to your profile. 4. **Discover your matches** – mutual match details are sent privately after the event, so your info only reaches someone who also chose you, and the next move is completely yours to make. --- ✨ Try something that actually works — claim your place above and you are completely set for this session. Your matches are waiting to be found. 💎 ✨
