Our dear friend Albert known to many of you by the famous Prague's Cafe Philo is going to give us a talk about **the theories of art** by Friedrich Nietzsche and Christoph Menke. **Christoph Menke** is a contemporary German philosopher who thinks about art. What is art, how do we make judgments about art, how does art influence our personal life and life in society – these are the questions he treats in his book THE FORCE OF ART (“Die Kraft der Kunst”). Christoph Menke is professor at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt, his concept of art is strongly influenced by Adorno, Kant and especially by Nietzsche’s famous book THE BIRTH OF TRAGEDY (“Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik”). In a way, you can look at his book as an actualization of **Nietzsche’s concept of art**. The main idea is that a genuine work of art always contains a tension between two poles – which can be called the force and the craft. Join our seminar to learn more about them! You don’t need any knowledge about the above-mentioned books and philosophers to participate in our discussion. All relevant material will be presented during the meeting. \*\*\* Like many of our past events, the seminar will take place at the living room of our friend Justin. Everyone is welcome to join. We’ll have a bottle of wine, some flavored water, tea, and light snacks for Sunday. Please feel free to bring any drink or snack you’d like to share! Also, we’ve got a very friendly, well-trained dog who will be happy to see all of you. The name on the buzzer is McCandless, Mainous, and Everett – take the elevator to the 5th floor and it’s the door immediately to the left.

This immersive workshop is a guided journey into clarity, values, desire, and embodied creation. Through reflection, embodiment, and movement, you’ll be supported to clarify what truly matters to you, articulate what you want to call into your life, and begin living the inner state that allows those desires to manifest. Rooted in Tantra as a path of presence and embodiment (Osho Neo Tantra Lineage), this event weaves together structured self-inquiry, guided practices, and group field support. The focus is not on forcing outcomes, but on aligning with your values, passions, and inner quality of being — so that life can meet you from that place. This experience is suitable for those new to this work as well as those with prior meditation or embodiment experience. What to Expect: -Guided self-inquiry to clarify your core values (based on the Demartini Value Determination Process®) -Embodied practices to access desire, passion, and inner alignment -A clear, practical approach to manifestation through The Great Law of Magic -Time for individual reflection supported by the group field -Gentle sharing spaces (always optional, no advice-giving) A deep closing movement meditation to integrate the day and anchor your intentions into the body (A take-home meditation practice to continue working with throughout the year) Most of the day is focused on your own inner process, with guidance throughout. Group sharing is present but balanced — you are not required to speak if you don’t wish to. Who This Is For: -Open to all genders and all levels of experience -Suitable for individuals, couples, and families -Especially supportive for those navigating transitions, seeking clarity, or longing for deeper alignment in their lives \*\*Partners are warmly encouraged to attend together, as part of the day includes clarifying values and desires — work that can be deeply supportive within relationships and families. 25.01, 11:00–16:00 ATMA 500 CZK Register here: [https://vev.co/atma-community-space-praha](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvev.co%2Fatma-community-space-praha%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExckRUZmh6VmxPSm5PREhqR3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR56Fcxu3xVzi5EQsvcL021byByZrGno9zFBLjXXNaA6g8p40CbLG9UakkQveQ_aem_sG2vlPKy9HmLkw_T33GeUA&h=AT0sP9kp7S3mSs4ABiSZIU8xD3LItRcQqtUFw3TkZMbq2C7sL-vlUxBOX1_CJ_SHf-SNIxYUTIJW69Ps2hLOxlfnB8SXqL0_SmiP7H0gSBLT7zYZWYCZ08xngJiOKTObh1hNa9Lx93IigA&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT1U0AvT8cThe8o-QwK3W2k0pcDBRxD0MVpYsIBFOmM1C4uig-XmNCnXeIWt-TLhFbG2bNxA04Bxv9wuodSeZjVO4epgxlSmGtBtRb8VwRJOUFN61jqX7jB55WK-IyznFMOtI7z5yYIhWyVruUMcYTuyBNQHQ6RDqBw) Scholarships available (3 spots) - [https://forms.gle/RVYH3q5gmgpDxVku7](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FRVYH3q5gmgpDxVku7%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExckRUZmh6VmxPSm5PREhqR3NydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6uzSRW18fuVQo0nUITC3tWvPqf957t-x0y1budE0pvIdi8KVRmzgpUqcQBfw_aem_yArPwAvbjQZz9BHswhHj_w&h=AT1Aki9e0EBbCS5DpXh_GIB3JSdNK_nEtnlAK_3ZWXDdGuXeHCH89WfA9V63H9Wn3rNnRtH92I6Q9bdH2FbF8WtPiI0KA48p9zBsLm9pKfdfAOK4uSFlnFZlnmupa9DQGzzRXNe8MFVnkQ&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AT1U0AvT8cThe8o-QwK3W2k0pcDBRxD0MVpYsIBFOmM1C4uig-XmNCnXeIWt-TLhFbG2bNxA04Bxv9wuodSeZjVO4epgxlSmGtBtRb8VwRJOUFN61jqX7jB55WK-IyznFMOtI7z5yYIhWyVruUMcYTuyBNQHQ6RDqBw) The event will be predominantly held in English. If Czech-only participants are present, the event will be facilitated bilingually (English/Czech). Important Information & Disclosures Teacher & child presence: The facilitator is a mother to a 3-month-old baby boy, Kai, and is passionate about showing that spiritual practice and soul calling do not need to be abandoned in parenthood. Her son will be present at the venue with his father, who will be available to take him to a quiet room whenever needed, ensuring the main space remains supported and focused. Attending with children: Babysitting is not provided. A quiet room is available at the venue. If you attend with a child, please let us know in advance and be prepared to tag-team with your partner if needed. During the final 1-hour meditation: -Older children may participate if they wish -Younger children may need to be carried in a wrap, spend time in the quiet room with a partner, or leave early, as this is the final practice of the day Event format: This is a guided, embodied experience with significant time for personal reflection and practice. While there are moments of group sharing, the majority of the event is self-directed within a held and supportive group field. Practicing in community helps deepen focus, presence, and integration, making it easier to access clarity than when practicing alone at home. What to Bring: -A notebook and pen (coloured pens welcome; paper will be provided if needed) -A blindfold or scarf (optional but recommended) -Optional altar offering (flowers, fruit, small treats, non-toxic incense, or a candle in a holder). You are also welcome to bring a small personal item for the shared altar, which you can take home afterward. About the Facilitator: Anurasa is a Tantra Essence teacher and embodiment facilitator, offering grounded, accessible spaces that bridge conscious reflection, lived practice, and real-life integration. Her work supports people to align with their values, listen deeply to their inner guidance, and live with greater clarity, presence, and authenticity — in work, relationships, and everyday life. Anurasa is a Tantra teacher, hypnotherapist, and facilitator devoted to embodied aliveness, emotional healing, and conscious intimacy. Currently based in Prague, she is passionate about spreading the work of Tantra Essence (Osho–Sarita lineage) throughout Europe — helping people remember the sacredness of being human. A mother and teacher at heart, she lives what she shares: that spirituality and parenthood are not opposites, but deeply complementary paths. For her, motherhood is not a sacrifice, but a surrender into love — an initiation into the ebb and flow of life itself. Through this lived experience, she inspires others to bring Tantra into everyday reality — into the way we love, parent, communicate, and breathe. Her journey has woven together many worlds: from working with vulnerable youth and leading community projects, to teaching Latin dance in London and later running a hypnotherapy clinic. In 2019 she followed an inner call to Bali, where she met Ma Ananda Sarita and found home in the path of Tantra. Years of intensive training and assisting followed, alongside deep personal healing and transformation. Today, Anurasa shares this lineage with grounded authenticity and heartfelt presence. Her teaching invites people to embrace their emotions, awaken body intelligence, and rediscover that joy, love, and awareness can coexist — even in the chaos of modern life. For her, Tantra is not about escape from the world, but a return to it, fully and tenderly alive.

This is a free, in person meeting. 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.

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Crimson Cup Coffee Shop - Clintonville](https://www.crimsoncup.com/about/location/clintonville)!

**History** The Columbus Museum of Art traces its roots to 1878, when it was founded as the Columbus Gallery of Fine Arts, becoming the first art museum chartered in Ohio. A group of civic leaders established it to bring touring exhibitions and build a public collection. In 1887, it merged with the Columbus Art School (now CCAD) fostering a long partnership in arts education. Initially without a permanent home, the museum operated from temporary spaces until 1919, when art patron Francis C. Sessions deeded his Victorian mansion on East Broad Street to house the growing institution. As collections expanded in the early 20th century, the need for a dedicated building became clear. The Sessions mansion was demolished, and a new Italian Renaissance Revival structure was erected on the same site, opening to the public in 1931. This elegant building, with its grand steps and arches, remains the museum's core today and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Key early acquisitions, like the Ferdinand Howald Collection of modernist works, helped establish its focus on American and European art. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the museum evolved significantly. It added the Ross Wing in 1974 for exhibitions and renamed itself the Columbus Museum of Art in 1978 during its centennial. A major renovation and expansion completed in 2015 introduced the Margaret M. Walter Wing and Center for Creativity, emphasizing interactive experiences. In 2018, the donation of the Pizzuti Collection and its Short North building expanded the museum's reach into contemporary art, solidifying its role as a dynamic cultural hub. The Columbus Museum of Art boasts a strong collection of late 19th- and early 20th-century European modern art, featuring well-known masters like Claude Monet, whose Impressionist landscapes capture light and atmosphere in ways familiar to many. Visitors can also encounter works by Henri Matisse, renowned for his bold use of color, and Edgar Degas, famous for his graceful depictions of ballerinas and everyday scenes. The museum's early Cubist holdings include pieces by Pablo Picasso, offering glimpses into his revolutionary fragmented style that reshaped modern art. On the American side, the collection highlights iconic figures such as Edward Hopper, whose evocative paintings of urban solitude and quiet American life are widely recognized, and Norman Rockwell, celebrated for his heartfelt illustrations of everyday Americana that have appeared on countless magazine covers. These accessible works by household-name artists provide an inviting entry point for those new to art museums, blending European innovation with distinctly American storytelling. **Summary** For this event, we will tour the [Columbus Museum of Art](https://www.columbusmuseum.org/), which is always free on Sundays. Afterward, we will head over to the nearby, highly-rated, and popular Gemüt Biergarten for drinks and food. Columbus's art museum is not large, and we won't need to rush through in order to see everything. However, it's a little windy (with a long "i") and maze-like in spots, and if you've never gone through it before, it can be a little confusing at first. **Tickets and Pricing** The Museum is free on Sundays. **Parking** The short answer here is that you can park for free (in the Safe Auto lot) when you visit the Museum on weekends. The longer answer is that the Museum has a dedicated parking lot, whose entrance and exit are on E Gay St, just north of Broad St. You can see this parking lot [here on Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Columbus+Museum+Of+Art+Parking/@39.9648853,-82.9882364,18.67z/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x883888d20177f111:0xbf595a71d9d8c8c5!2sColumbus+Museum+of+Art!8m2!3d39.9642074!4d-82.9878972!16zL20vMDM0Z3F6!3m5!1s0x883888d21f05e00f:0xb72a56e4ac2d4fba!8m2!3d39.9651763!4d-82.9881746!16s%2Fg%2F11f3pdx3tx?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D). This parking has normally been $7, unless you buy something either in the Museum's gift shop or café, in which case it's $5 (you have to bring your receipt to the Museum's front desk to get this discount). However, the Museum is currently in the process of upgrading their parking lot's intercom (or some such), and until such time as this is completed, parking in this lot is free. Once this upgrade is complete, though, the charge is likely to increase from $7 to $10. This upgrade is supposed to be done by the time we run this event, but given how these things work, I wouldn't be totally surprised if it's not complete by then. You'll know the lot is free if the gate arms to both the entrance and exit are fixed in a raised position when you arrive. However, there's a large parking lot for Safe Auto on the other side of N Washington Ave, between Boone St and Hutton Pl. You can see this parking lot [here on Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B057'54.4%22N+82%C2%B059'13.9%22W/@39.9651069,-82.9884087,18z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d39.965105!4d-82.987191?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D). Visitors to the Museum may always park for free in this lot on weekends. **The End of History** After completing our dissertation in [Art Appreciation](https://www.facebook.com/groups/879880336006462/posts/1734229683904852/), we'll head over to the highly-rated [Gemüt Biergarten](https://www.gemutbiergarten.com/) for [drinks and food](https://www.gemutbiergarten.com/#full-menu). The brewery is located in [Olde Towne East](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Olde+Towne+East,+Columbus,+OH/@39.9600896,-82.9935095,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x883888c29b9d98cb:0x55fc96810facc832!8m2!3d39.9579938!4d-82.9761254!16s%2Fm%2F026vlz4?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D), and its actual address is [734 Oak St, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/734+Oak+St,+Columbus,+OH+43205/@39.9633755,-82.9808618,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x883888c53426d289:0x4aec638d8a5195d4!8m2!3d39.9633755!4d-82.9808618!16s%2Fg%2F11c4wy250w?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D). Gemüt Biergarten has a free parking lot that isn't small but also isn't huge. Street parking, however, is always free across Columbus on [Sundays and holidays](https://www.columbus.gov/files/sharedassets/city/v/1/public-service/right-of-way-permit/on-street-parking-out-of-service-policy-and-procedure-final-8.15.2022-signed.pdf), so I think we'll be okay with parking. The bigger issue may be the weather. The brewery has a good-sized outdoor patio that is covered and heated in the winter. However, that doesn't mean this patio will be warm. The inside of the brewery is "okay-sized," but again, the brewery is popular and by the time we get there, we may have no choice but to sit outside. If it's cold, I can and will ask them to fire up some of their additional outdoor heaters, which I think should be enough, but please bring something to keep you warm just in case we end up outside. Finally, while food at the Biergarten can be a little overpriced, in my experience it is excellent, and you are likely to enjoy whatever you get. We should be there by 1:00 if you can't make the Museum and just want to meet us for drinks.
