Smalltalk

*"Evenemanget är på engelska men du är välkommen att prata svenska om du vill. Alla är välkomna."* **Please Register here:** [https://www.hellohuman.online/listings/hello-human-connect-1/](https://www.hellohuman.online/listings/hello-human-connect-1/?utm_source=meetup-sec&utm_medium=social&utm_term=&utm_content=hhc6&utm_campaign=events) It's getting real all around you huh? We have always had to rely on each other when systems fail. Digitialisation and the internet helps us to see what is happening around us. Meeting in community, in the real world, is how we survive and break out of the echo chambers which are dividing us. Let's move from doing things alone to sharing the load together. Let's move from thinking care is earned to knowing care is a right. Let's move from always competing to surviving and thriving. Isolation only protects harmful systems while connection weakens them. You were never meant to do any of this alone. Come. It's a small but powerful action. Join us in our [safe space](https://www.hellohuman.online/eq/how-to-create-a-safe-space/?utm_source=meetup-sec&utm_medium=social&utm_term=&utm_content=hhc6&utm_campaign=events). **Agenda** 17h35: Introductions 17h45: Discussion topic intro: Community care is a practice.

Speaking to each other honestly and without judgement can be so powerful. What is happening in the world makes me sad. A lot of it has to do with the many “us vs them” events that takes place on this rock hurtling through space. So I invite all you beautiful humans to come and co-create together, for all of us. The event is a dialogue based event where people can come to discuss their “-isms” from a place of wanting to understand and unlearn. ie. “why is it racist if I say this…”, “I don’t understand how to be an ally to women or minorities”, “how do I deal with people who want me to use different pronouns”, etc. Deep and potentially hot topics but we will create a [safe space](https://www.hellohuman.online/eq/how-to-create-a-safe-space/?utm_source=meetup-sec&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=events&utm_content=hhc2) for people who want to take the first step of change in their own lives and make friends beyond their regular homogeneous groups. Watching the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu go through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission talks when apartheid ended in South Africa makes me believe that there is something powerful in dialogue and forgiveness. Hello Human Connect is a mix of two concepts: 1. **“Ubuntu”** – a concept in which your sense of self is shaped by your relationships with other people. It’s a way of living that begins with the premise that “I am” only because “we are.” 2. **Kintsugi** – the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The beauty of the repaired object incorporates the fact that it was previously broken. The idea being that the dialogue and understanding is the golden bond that reunites all the splintered labels and definitions of self into a functioning beautiful whole again. So come to connect, share, learn, eat a snack and meet some real humans Come, it is a small but powerful action you can take to be part of the change you want to see in the world. See you there. **Please Register here:** [https://www.hellohuman.online/listings/hello-human-connect-1/](https://www.hellohuman.online/listings/hello-human-connect-1/?utm_source=meetup-sec&utm_medium=social&utm_term=&utm_content=hhc6&utm_campaign=events)

Journey Into Self is a path to deeper integration. This is a closed, ongoing group meeting once a month. We will move through five archetypal stages of inner work: 🔥 The Innocent – represents the core of who we are, our purest Self that exists before anything else. This is the part of us that is untainted by the world, embodying our true nature, innocence, and purity. In this stage, we connect with our intrinsic worth and the fundamental qualities that define our being. Here, we rediscover and embrace our authentic self, often buried under layers of conditioning and social expectations. 🌑 The Shadow – refers to the parts of ourselves that we have suppressed or denied. This includes our fears, wounds, and shadow aspects that reside in our unconscious. Confronting and integrating these hidden parts is essential for healing and wholeness. This stage involves facing our inner darkness, understanding its origins, and transforming it into a source of strength and wisdom. We are bringing light to the shadow and reclaiming disowned parts of ourselves. 🌿 The Wild – symbolizes our primal nature and connection to the physical body and natural world. Here we embrace our instincts, passions, and the raw energy that drives us. It is the encouragement to live fully in our bodies, experiencing life through our senses. This stage is about grounding ourselves, reconnecting with our wildness, and honoring the wisdom that comes from our embodied experience. 🐦‍🔥The Phoenix – represents transformation and rebirth. The dragon symbolizes clarity and inner wisdom. Its purpose is to strip away illusions, allowing us to confront the truths about ourselves. The phoenix, on the other hand, signifies the cycle of death and rebirth, the process of rising from the ashes renewed and transformed. This stage involves profound personal growth, shedding old identities, and emerging more authentic. It’s about continually evolving at our own pace ✨ The Magus – embodies mastery and wisdom. The Magus is the wise one, the alchemist who has learned to integrate and harmonize aspects of the self. This stage is about realizing our potential, using our knowledge and skills to create and influence our reality. It’s about living with purpose, authenticity, and a deep connection to the greater whole. The Magus is the meeting point of perceived opposites, we embrace ourselves as both good and bad, light and dark, masculine and feminine. The Magus represents the wholeness. 👑What Will You Get: 1. Deep Personal Growth: Gain clarity about your true self and uncover hidden patterns. 2. Healing and Integration: Address and accept suppressed emotions and wounded aspects. 3. Authenticity: Embrace your light and shadow without judgment to live fully as you are. 4. Empowerment: Learn to harness your inner wisdom and take charge of your life. 5. Community Support: Experience connection and shared growth. 6. Mind-Body Connection: Reconnect with your instincts, passions, and inner being. 7. Guided Personal Processes: Receive tailored guidance to uncover hidden patterns and support personal breakthroughs. 8. Transformation: Emerge with greater resilience, purpose, and self-awareness. 9. Trauma-Informed Practices: Techniques for reconnecting with the body to improve clarity, reduce stress, and promote emotional regulation. ✨This isn’t surface-level work. We will go deep with a small, intimate group that will hold space for your growth and transformation. You’ll be seen, supported, and guided every step of the way. Together, we will explore what’s hidden and bring it into the light so you can show up as the fullest version of yourself.

We're a group of writers that meets up every Sunday for a productive writing session. **Here's how the meetup works:** * We gather together, grab some fika, and then we write for an hour. * After the hour is up, we spend some time chatting, sharing ideas and thoughts on writing, and discussing the challenges we've come across. The goal is to **commit to working on your writing project for a set amount of time, all while** **connecting with other writers** and being motivated by the energy of creative minds working hard on their individual projects. You'll have the chance to share your work and receive valuable feedback (if you so wish) or simply enjoy the company of like-minded individuals. -- We're here, **same place, same time, every week.** So if you're feeling up to it, drop by and let's get writing!

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 our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, 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: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
