Law of Attraction

The One Reset That Can Change Your Entire 2026** Most people don’t actually begin a new year. They carry the old one forward—the same habits, the same emotional weight, the same unfinished stories—just with a new calendar. This gathering is a pause. A deliberate, conscious reset point before 2026 begins. Together, we will step out of momentum and into intention. This is not about goal-setting or wishful thinking. It’s about clearing the field—mentally, emotionally, energetically—so that what you plant next year actually has room to grow. You’ll be guided through reflection, gentle inquiry, and practical insight drawn from positive psychology, the Law of Attraction, lived wisdom, and spiritual grounding. You’ll identify what no longer serves you, what must be released, and—most importantly—what wants to emerge next. Many people will skip this kind of moment. They’ll be busy. They’ll tell themselves they’ll “figure it out in January.” But January comes fast—and it comes carrying whatever you didn’t set down. If you sense that 2026 needs to be different, this evening may be the most important hour you give yourself before the year begins. Come open. Come curious. Come willing to reset.

**Spirit of Giveaway Gathering** You are warmly invited to gather with us in the gentle spirit of generosity, gratitude, and shared abundance. This is a sacred time to honor the season through giving—not from obligation, but from the heart. Throughout the gathering, we will enjoy a shared spread of appetizers, so please bring a dish to offer if you feel called. As we eat and commune together, we open space for connection, kindness, and the natural flow of giving and receiving. The Spirit of Giveaway is not a time for clearing out unwanted items, but for offering something meaningful—an object that carries intention, beauty, or personal significance. Many of us serve as caretakers of sacred tools and talismans, and when the time comes for an item to change hands, it becomes a powerful act of trust and devotion. You may bring something you feel guided to give to a specific person, or place your offering into the central circle where any member of the community may be intuitively drawn to receive it. During this gathering, most items in our crystal shop will also be available on a “name your price” basis. Twenty-five percent of all proceeds will be donated to a local soup kitchen, extending our circle of giving beyond these walls and into the wider community. This event will immediately follow our **11am Ring of the Bowls Sound Bath Meditation**, creating a beautiful flow from deep listening into sacred exchange. All are welcome, as long as you arrive with an open mind and a respectful heart. We look forward to sharing this gentle celebration of giving with you. ✨ 📍 Directions Address: 15406 Riding Stable Rd. (property is at the end of a ½ mile driveway into the woods). You will cross a small stream—drive slowly (under 10 MPH) to keep dust down. Please be mindful of our neighbors and do not stop to interact with horses along the way. With Love & Gratitude

The power of unity can easily be seen in how we come together in times of crisis. But what about after the immediate crisis has passed? Can spirituality help us harness the power of unity, regardless of circumstance, and despite our many differences? With each passing day, it seems like we are realizing more and more how interconnected we all are, how much we depend on one another. Old patterns of existence based on division aren’t working for us. Particularly in times of crisis, we see that we do better when we come together, when we’re able to support one another and draw strength from each other. But what if this power wasn’t limited to times of crisis? What if unity wasn’t just a lofty idea worth aspiring to but a strategy to be used in affecting positive change? Is there specific guidance we can follow, methods we can enact to help us create a more materially and spiritually advanced society? Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on the power of unity in helping us enact a social & spiritual transformation. Join us for a lively discussion as we explore the role of spirituality in helping us work with each other on the path towards the betterment of us all. “So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole world.” – Bahá’í Teachings \*\*\*This event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will not be accepted.

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.
