Women's Circle: A Breathwork Journey 17.06
✨☀️ Women’s Circle — Activate The Glow Within ☀️✨
Join us for an intimate and immersive evening hosted by @thedani, designed to awaken your inner light, reconnect you to your feminine energy, and glow from the inside out.
As we move into summer, a season of expansion, vitality, visibility, and connection, this experience is an invitation to release emotional heaviness, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect to the most radiant version of yourself.
Together, we’ll cultivate the kind of energy that naturally attracts aligned opportunities, deeper self-confidence, meaningful relationships, abundance, creativity, and joy.
We’ll begin with a grounding meditation and guided visualization to soften the body, open the heart, and connect to the energy you wish to embody this summer.
From there, you’ll be guided through a powerful holotropic breathwork journey designed to awaken life force energy, move stagnant emotions, clear energetic blocks, and create space for clarity, expansion, and inner radiance.
Throughout the experience, Reiki healing energy will be offered to support your process and help you feel held, safe, grounded, and energetically aligned.
Following the breathwork, we’ll gather in a sharing circle — a moment of sisterhood, connection, vulnerability, and collective healing.
The evening will close with gentle integration, allowing you to anchor into your body, your truth, and the glow that comes from within.
This is a space to breathe, soften, release, connect, and rise together.
Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, radiant, empowered, and GLOWING inside out. ✨
**Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

Hello 👋,
Je te propose un apéro "inconnus". Le principe ? 👉 on vient seul(e) ou avec ses potes, peu importe, mais avec la volonté de découvrir de nouvelles têtes dans la joie et la bonne humeur 🎉 Si tu es seul(e) on t’accompagnera et on te fera découvrir des inconnus qui n’en seront plus 😉
💥 Cet événement est adapté aux personnes qui n'osent pas franchir le pas ou qui se disent "mince je ne vais pas aller à un event où je ne connais personne" (rassurez-vous, vous ne serez pas seul(e) dans ce cas) mais aussi à toutes les autres personnes qui souhaitent élargir son cercle de connaissances avec bienveillance et bonne humeur 💥
Weezem est une appli de rencontres amicales gratuite récemment lancée et nous sommes en train de constituer une super communauté ouverte et bienveillante.

Le lieu est très facile d'accès 👉 au pied du métro Mirabeau et à 5mn des stations Eglise d'Auteuil et Javel 👍

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**!
The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*.
Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for June is "Roadtrip"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
June Crafternoon: Art & Craft Day
**Join us for an afternoon of community art and craft time!**
Whether you are looking to carve out dedicated creative time, wanting to get a lingering project across the finish line, or just looking to chat with fellow local makers—this is the space for you.
🧵 **What to Bring**
Bring any art or craft project you are currently working on, as long as it is portable and quiet. Think:
* **Yarn & Thread:** Knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross-stitch, hand-sewing, mending.
* **Paper & Sketching:** Sketchbooks, adult coloring books, watercolors, bullet journaling.
* **Digital:** Tablets, iPad drawing, laptop writing/design.
* *Please note: Because we are meeting in a shared public space, no power tools, sewing machines, or high-odor materials (like strong solvents or spray glues), please!*
**📍 Where to Find Us**
* We will be meeting at **Columbus Metropolitan Library - Hilltop Branch** in **Meeting Room 4**. Room is reserved under **CBUS Maker Meetup.**
**⏱️ Timeline**
* **1:00 PM:** Arrive, grab a seat, get settled, and do a quick round of introductions so we can see what everyone is working on.
* **1:15 PM - 3:00 PM:** Open maker time! Chat, craft, relax, and swap creative ideas.
**⚠️ A Note on RSVPs**
The RSVP count for this event is strictly limited to 10 spots.
If your plans change and you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP to "Not Going" as soon as possible so someone on the waitlist can grab your spot. Please try to give at least 48 hours' notice if you need to cancel, allowing folks on the waitlist time to check their schedule.

**We can't wait to meet you and see what you're making! All skill levels welcome.**
Shut Up & Write!® East 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 on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild.
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 before and after the writing hour. 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 Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to 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.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
