Meditation in a Conversation - Practice Presence with Yourself & Others
**Insight Circle**
Connect deeply, developing greater intimacy, with yourself and others, in this **Relational** **Mindfulness Practice** in the form of a conversation.
We will practice **observing without judgement**, what’s happening in us and between us, in the moment, as we relate to each other.
**Observing sensations, emotions and thoughts** so that we get a complete picture of what it’s like to be us.
In this way, we learn to **lead ourselves** through **greater awareness** of the moment, and cultivate our own **inner knowing**.
Through exercises introduced at the beginning of each session, we will gradually develop our capacity together to **be present** with what is and listen deeply to ourselves and others.
**This practice can help you:**
* Connect to your emotions, and
* Be more at ease and alignment in your body and mind.
* Get inspiration.
* Develop intuition to help you make decisions.
* Improve your relationships and connect with others on a much deeper level.
* Become unstuck in different areas of your life and take action.
I spent many years meditating, but when I discovered this, it felt like a revelation, a missing piece that’s helping me get awareness of how I relate to other and create my life.
Join us on this beautiful journey of discovering ourselves.

**About me**
I am a qualified Transformational & Career Coach having trained London in 2016. I bring my personal life experience to my work having transitioned career and country to be more in-tune with who I am.
I am passionate about helping people connect deeply to themselves, bringing out their creativity and gifts for the world through their work.
I have been practicing meditation for over 20 years, and spent 5 years living and helping to facilitate the space at a retreat centre on a tiny island in Scotland, established by a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, one of the pioneers of mindfulness in the UK.
I believe meditation and mindfulness are wonderful tools which help people gain clarity and focus by creating a space to listen deeply within.
They have certainly helped me a great deal!

Ioga, meditació, art i escriptura terapèutica. @cercleahimsa. Prova gratuïta.
Instagram: @cercleahimsa
Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar. Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar...
El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística.
Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau.

The Book Club - 2pm edition - Parc del Nord📚Personal Growth & Spirituality
At **The Book Club**, you can meet smart, loving, and ambitious individuals that care about their personal growth and future.
❤️We are dedicated to creating a safe space to hold deep, respectful, and loving conversations & connections.❤️
* Bring a book that impacted your life and beliefs.
* Even if you don't have a book with you, you are still welcome to come and join us to learn and share your ideas.
* Everyone with Positive Intentions is welcome!
* Discussions are usually in English
**Planning - 🚨NO MORE ENTRIES ALLOWED AFTER 14:15 🚨**
PLEASE RVPS on meetup and update your attendance if something changes
* 14:00 - Gathering and Getting to know each other
* 14:15 - Starting the book/deep conversations
* 15:40 to 15:55 - End of Conversations + Debrief
* 15:55 - Hugs and/or Good-byes
We usually sit on the ground in the park, so we recommend you to bring a blanket, pillow or something comfortable to sit on and now that it is a bit colder also something to keep you warm.
Also, feel free to bring a mini snacks for yourself (or if you want to share, like nuts or fruit) 🍎 🍐 🍊
**📍Location:**
Please check the Meetup location (pin) on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EAVumA95s7crTxD87
The exact location, as always, will be sent in our whatsapp group on the same day, usually between 15 and 5 minutes before the event starts. The park is not big, we will always be in part of the park closer to the metro station Arc de Triumph, check the Google Maps link for a very good estimate of the exact location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EAVumA95s7crTxD87
How to recognize us: you will see a white and green blanket with at least one book on it and at least another blanket.
In the very unlikely case something changes or if you can´t find us, **Join our WhatsApp group to connect with us!** [Join Our WhatsApp Group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/HLtdFaaBCiK9bpmNvhQijm) **( We don't spam, promised.).**
🌧️🌧️🌧️As the weather has been a bit rainy lately, please notice the following🌧️🌧️🌧️:
\- During the winter months\, and until the weather gets a bit better\, I’ll be keeping the group size smaller\. This way\, if it rains\, we can comfortably move to a café together\.
\- If the weather is fantastic\, you’re very welcome to join us even if the participant limit has already been reached \(as long as you arrive on time\)\. However\, if it rains\, each organiser will be able to take around 5 people into a café \(we'll send the exact location in the WhatsApp group on the same day\)\. Those who came but didn’t sign up are still very welcome to organize themselves\, choose another café\, and enjoy their own book discussions together\.
\- If you realize you can’t make it\, I kindly ask you to cancel your participation at least 1 hour before the event\. This really helps me offer the spot to someone else and avoids me traveling for nothing\, as I don’t live nearby\. Thank you so much for your understanding 💛
\- In case we go to a café\, I ask everyone to please order at least one drink\. I don’t have any agreements with cafés—we simply want to be respectful guests\, avoid any issues\, and keep the option open to return to places we enjoy in the future\.

Shut Up & Write!® South Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm the second & fourth Wednesday of every month at Two Dollar Radio Headquarters (HQ).
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens around 6:45pm. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Two Dollar Radio HQ!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! Other customers are welcome at Two Dollar HQ at the time, so please bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **ACCESSIBILITY:** Two Dollar Radio HQ's entrance door on Cline Street is wheelchair accessible, they have two gender-neutral bathrooms that are both wheelchair accessible, and their ordering and table-seating area is as well. Working service dogs are allowed.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Two Dollar Radio HQ does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public street parking on all surrounding streets, on both sides of Parsons Ave. You are also welcome to park in the Columbus Metropolitan Library parking lot across the street (1113 Parsons Ave). Two Dollar Radio HQ has a bike rack on the corner of Cline and Parsons, and the library has bike parking (across Parsons).
* **FOOD/BEVERAGE:** Two Dollar Radio HQ is a bar and vegan cafe. Their food is 100% vegan and made from scratch, with love. They also serve a range of wine, beer, and cocktails, as well as coffees and teas. If you're able to, please consider thanking our venue by purchasing something!!
Free In-Person Event: Handle Self-Confidence & Motivation to Achieve Your Goals
This is an in-person meeting.
Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken? Do you get in the way of your own goals? We will discuss the real source of all this, what holds you back in life, and how to handle it so you can achieve more successful and happier living.
Perhaps you get weighed down with negative emotions you can't seem to shrug off. Or find yourself doing strange and irrational things - not really being yourself. We will cover why that is and tools that work to help you unearth your self, your self-confidence and motivation.

Shut Up & Write!® Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
12:00 - quick intros.
12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Sunday!
Free in Person Meeting - Get Over Losses and Betrayls
Do you want more motivation and confidence to 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.
Are you 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.

This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
