Feel free to bring games, or suggest some from my collection (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/garryjenkins). Please RSVP so I can select appropriate games for the number of people attending. Food and drinks should be purchased on site. Also to have an idea about what type of games you probably will play, you can take a look at the comments of previous weeks of this weekly meetup. If you have any question, don't hesitate to send me a message, or ask here in comments.

Hello Friends! This will be the last time I'll drag you to a Christmas Market this winter, I promise! But the Austrian "Spinat Knödel" are too good, I want them one more time. If you never tried, I highly recommend, and you know what? Let me buy one for everyone who completed all the hikes of 2026! It's a different path this time again, we did parts of it already in the past, but not the whole thing end to end. Starting from Howald via Hesperange and Pulvermühl, we go back to the city, ending up at the "Wantermaart" around "Gelle Fra". Depending on the weather, our mood, and physical condition, we can do a shortcut in the end, not descending to Grund and not climbing the famous 68 steps from the Petrusse valley to place de constitution. And if someone is totally exhausted, there's an "emergency exit" in Bonnevoie/Hamm, you can take bus 9 from "Kofferfabrik" to Hamilius and wait on the Christmas market until the group arrives. We will take a few short breaks to have a sip of water or munch on a snack, but there will be no lunch break, as we plan to enjoy the food and drinks at the Christmas market after the hike, such as Bratwurst, Glühwein, Gromperekichelcher, and - of course - Spinatknödel!!! **Meeting Point:** We will meet at the tram stop "Scillas" in Howald. There are not many trains going south, but a tram every few minutes. https://maps.app.goo.gl/c2A9jyEHhWE9XNqRA If you happen to take a train to Howald from the south, like RB 6785, leaving Esch at 10:02, Schifflange at 10:06, the Howald tram station is just around the corner from Howald Gare. This is not a loop; we will start in Howald and end in the city center. Hamilius tram stop is 2 minutes from the Christmas market, you can get back there easily, in the unlikely event that you came by car and left it in Howald. Looking forward to having the last Glühwein of the season with you! (at least on a Christmas market, there might be Glühwein on some hikes again) Jens.

Vendredi 2. janvier à 18:30 - Dimanche 4. janvier 2026 à 17:00 CID Fraen an Gender, Luxembourg Tout le monde a une histoire à raconter. Mais raconter des histoires personnelles ne vient pas naturellement à tout le monde. Dans cet atelier en trois parties destiné aux adultes, vous apprendrez à raconter une histoire riche et personnelle et à emmener votre public dans votre sillage. **Quand a-t-il lieu ?** L'atelier de trois jours se déroule aux dates suivantes : **Vendredi 2 janvier, de 18 h 30 à 21 h** **13h00-19h00 le samedi 3 janvier** **13h00-17h00 le dimanche 4 janvier** **Afin de tirer le meilleur parti de l'atelier, je recommande vivement aux participants d'assister aux trois journées.** Le dernier jour, chacun aura la possibilité de raconter son histoire devant le groupe, s'il le souhaite. Le prix de participation comprend le thé et le café. Vous pouvez également apporter votre propre nourriture et des pauses rafraîchissements seront prévues pendant les trois jours. En raison du nombre de places limité, l'inscription préalable est obligatoire. [Acheter un ticket](https://fienta.com/fr/master-the-art-of-live-storytelling-3-day-course-janvier2026-156097) **Qu'est-ce que le storytelling ?** Le storytelling est une activité sociale et culturelle qui consiste à partager des histoires, parfois avec de l'improvisation, des effets théâtraux ou des embellissements. Chaque culture a ses propres histoires ou récits, qui sont partagés à des fins de divertissement, d'éducation, de préservation culturelle ou d'inculcation de valeurs morales. Si vous découvrez le storytelling, je vous recommande de regarder Mike Birbiglia et The Moth Hour sur Youtube pour comprendre notre définition du storytelling en direct. **Qu'est-ce que le storytelling n'est pas ?** Dans le cadre de cet atelier, nous ne lirons pas de textes écrits à haute voix, même si l'atelier implique de l'écriture. Le storytelling dans cet atelier n'est pas une forme de thérapie, même si nous examinerons nos récits personnels afin d'en extraire des histoires authentiques à partager. **Que dois-je apporter ?** Veuillez apporter un cahier et un stylo. Vous n'avez pas besoin de venir avec une histoire en tête. Je vous fournirai une histoire. Au cours des trois jours, je vous guiderai pas à pas à travers le processus de reformulation d'une histoire existante, de recherche de votre propre histoire et d'identification du message. Il y aura également de nombreux jeux et travaux de groupe, il est donc essentiel que les participants puissent assister aux trois sessions. **La formatrice** [Jess Bauldry](https://www.jessbauldry.eu/) est journaliste, écrivaine et artiste de stand-up. Elle est titulaire d'une maîtrise en écriture créative de l'université de Hull et a étudié l'art du storytelling à Mezrab. De nationalité britannique et luxembourgeoise, elle a cofondé le festival de comédie féministe Festrogen et fait partie du collectif de comédie luxembourgeois Frilly Curtains Comedy. Ces deux collectifs organisent des événements de storytelling. Cet atelier est organisé avec le généreux soutien de Cid Fraen an Gender.

Hello friends, It feels like "*the last hike of this year*" to me, because I'm planning it now, but in fact it will be the first hike of the year 2026, our traditional *"Happy New Year Hangover Hike"* 💫🧨✨🚀 We went the first time on 1st of January in 2020, we skipped it during the "Corona Winter" 2020/2021, resuming in 2022, which makes this the 6th time! Let me know when we meet, how many of these you attended! Let's grab some fresh air after our New Year's parties, let's wish each other a happy New Year, and let's make sure that our alcohol level goes down more slowly by consuming our leftover alcohol from last night 🤪 If there is no concept of "leftover alcohol" in your mindset, you might want to buy an extra bottle.🍾 Otherwise, feel free to bring whatever you like! 🍪🥮🍫 We will meet at the tram/bus station *"Hamilius"* at 12:00 and start the hike around 12:15. **I strongly encourage everyone to get there by public transport!** There are buses all over the place, you can take the tram or bus to *"Hamilius"* or take a bus to *"Monterey"* or *"Badanstalt";* both are within 5 minutes of walking distance 🚎🚌 I hope that everyone will be in a good mood and that you can avoid driving. There will be Glühwein, cremant, and wine; sometimes in the past, we even had champagne!🍷🥂🍾 **Itinerary:** We will walk down to Grund and Clausen, a bit towards Neudorf, then up onto the Kirchberg plateau, where I will try to discover a new area 🥾🥾 Last year, I didn't find the path, because the environment was very different in reality than it looked on the map. This time I'm more confident, and if we find it, there will be some great views across Clausen towards the city. Whether we find it or not, our next stop will be on the Kirchberg Plateau, another great view from there. Finally, we will traverse Pfaffenthal, where we are trying to find out how many hiking groups will fit into the Pfaffenthal elevator. My bet: Exactly one! Our walk will end at the Christmas market *"Wanterpark"* on the *"Kinnekswiss*". There are many options for great food and drinks, and there is a protected space where we can sit without getting cold 🍺🍷🧆🍤🥘🍗🌭🍺 The planned location for our break is the newly discovered area on the Weimershof side of the Kirchberg Plateau, if the intensity and direction of the wind allow for it. Otherwise, we continue to Kirchberg and hide in the fortifications 🏰 There, we can share our leftover Christmas cookies and drinks from the New Year parties. I will bring Glühwein and cremant and I count on you, as usual, for additional supplies! 🥂🍾🍷🍪🥮🍫🥂 The hike is at your own risk, and everyone is responsible for his/her own safety! Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens

Start the new year with your local IxDA pals. Join members of the Central Ohio UX and design community for our monthly breakfast.

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.

Step into 2026 with intention, clarity, and a creative practice designed to help you see yourself more clearly. In this special Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore confidence as something you can curate - through the choices you make, the qualities you amplify, and the story you choose to step into. We’ll start with a short guided reflection to surface the traits, habits, and energies you want to nurture in the coming year. Then, using collage materials selected specifically for this workshop, you’ll translate those insights into a visual composition that represents the version of yourself you’re ready to grow toward. This isn’t about resolutions or perfection. It’s about crafting a grounded, imaginative vision of your next chapter - one that feels honest, energizing, and fully yours. All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a friend) and a willingness to explore what confidence can look like for you in 2026. **Featured Partner: Columbus Collage Collective** The Columbus Collage Collective was started in August of 2023 by Emily Morgan (aka Lovely But Dead) and Douglas Cuckler (aka Wonder Doug) as a place for collage enthusiasts to gather and create art together. The collective has since become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to hold free or low-cost collage events across central Ohio. The CCC welcomes all artists of all backgrounds and skill levels and encourages folks to take this time to step away from everyday existence and create art with people who share a love for this dynamic art form. All materials—magazines, scissors, craft knives, glue, paper, cardboard, and more—are provided, so there's no need to bring anything at all (though you're welcome to bring a friend or a favorite tool if you'd like!). We also encourage folks to take home magazines and materials from our events to support continued creativity!

Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

Session Abstract **Data on Fire: A Hands-On Intro to Spark in Fabric** Curious about Apache Spark but not sure where to start? This hands-on session introduces you to Spark in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks—a powerful and accessible way to process and analyze big data using familiar tools in the Microsoft ecosystem. We’ll break down key Spark concepts like distributed computing, DataFrames, and lazy evaluation, then show how they come to life inside Fabric’s notebook experience. You’ll see practical demos that cover loading, transforming, and analyzing large datasets—while leveraging Fabric’s modern data stack, including OneLake, Dataflows, and Pipelines. You’ll also learn how to choose between Spark and pure Python notebooks in Fabric, based on execution needs, data integration, and use case fit. Whether you're a SQL pro, BI developer, or data engineer, this session will give you the tools and confidence to start using Spark in your own projects—no cluster management required. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
