**If you carry important work inside you — creative, entrepreneurial, or otherwise — and it remains unfinished, this session is for you.** We’ll explore the inner shift that allows meaningful work to move from longing into life. With guided reflection, conversation, and a simple worksheet, we’ll name what’s calling you, notice where the friction is, and begin to loosen what’s been holding the work back. This is about meeting the work at the level it’s asking for — identity, courage, coherence, and commitment. You’ll leave with a clearer relationship to what wants to come through you, a deeper understanding of what has stalled it, and a renewed sense of possibility and forward movement. I’ll provide a worksheet to guide the process. You can bring a notebook and pen. This gathering is hosted by **The Goldmine Life Design Studio** — a space devoted to helping people bring meaningful work into the world by aligning vision, identity, and direction. www.thegoldmine.life Feel free to look around and download your free Intelligences Map to understand how clarity, decisions, and movement actually form. I very much look forward to this conversation and supporting your vision.

🎊 2026 – such an astrologically momentous year! With significant planetary shifts and super rare cosmic alignments on the horizon, there's no better time to deepen your connection with yourself and understand what this unbelievable year has in store. **Why Astrology?** Astrology is a symbolic language 🌌 and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious. If you want to get to know yourself better and strengthen the connection to your inner wisdom and creativity, then this session is for you. 💫 **What Makes This Different:** This is not a classical teaching event. Rather, what you can expect here is a fun, guided experience, mixing astrology with **creative journaling** ✍️ and **meditative reflection** 🧘. You will get a chance to flex your intuitive muscles and also meet some like-minded seekers and thinkers. After this session, you will understand how astrology can be used to forge a deeper connection with yourself and access more of the magic you carry. **What to Expect:** This cozy session will give you the chance to connect with peers and become more mindful of your astrology journey through deeper understanding and perspectives. Every week we are working on a different topic, question, chart placement, etc. Feel free to become a regular, or drop by whenever you wish. 🌙 We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants ⭐ We will then guide you through various exercises in small groups, meant to help you to explore the wealth that astrology has in store for you. 💬 The session will conclude with an open discussion, and a chance to ask any questions. **Who Should Attend:** This session is open to complete beginners 🌱 as well as those who have experience with astrology. It is recommended to have your birth chart available. To generate your chart, I recommend using the website ***astro.com*** 💰This event is offered COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE but donations are more than welcome. You can donate using **PayPal** (paypal.me/furtunadincarpati) or **Revolut** (revolut.me/misterclarity). Last, but not least, if you wish to delve fully into astrology, I offer free tools at **lunarium.co.uk**, as well as training and consultations at **misterclarity.com**

**What do we actually mean when we say *modern tango*?** In this workshop we explore how diverse this category can be (I bet you'll be surprised), how these musical approaches shape the way we move nowadays, and how dancers can respond to newer musical landscapes while staying connected to the essence of social tango. **Suitable for both roles and all levels.** **No partner required.​** Zentrum Exist, Sechshauser Str. 36-38, 1150 Wien ​ \*\*\*\*\* **About this Tango Immersion Weekend** If your tango feels like counting steps instead of interacting with the music and your dance partner, this [Tango Immersion Weekend](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tangoimmersion) is for you. We'll focus on the foundations that allow you to translate what you hear into what you dance, in a practical, embodied way. Instead of starting from the usual Tango-Vals-Milonga approach for this topic, we'll explore something often overlooked: the different styles within Tango Argentino itself. Have you noticed each orchestra invites a different quality of movement, timing and presence? That's why we don't dance to every tango the same way, and why simply copying steps rarely works. Across this [Tango Immersion Weekend](https://www.jessicagerdel.com/tangoimmersion/#program): * Our **Tango Essentials Lab** for all levels will help you ground perception, timing, weight transfers and presence, because musicality depends on fundamentals and embodiment (well, what doesn't?). * **4 workshops** that combine individual and partner work invite you to explore how different Tango styles can live in your body. * Our **Focused Práctica** supports you to integrate discoveries and receive feedback (yes, it's literally a space to practice, no Milonga dynamic). * Our **Milonga Itinerante** is back! Now longer, at a new wonderful location, and on a monthly basis. Join a welcoming space where learning meets what really matters: social dancing and tango friendship time. This will be a special edition! Get ready to play! The first person who discovers what makes this one special gets a prize. **If you've been waiting for your dance to feel less mechanical and more like a conversation with the music, this is the right moment.** Join us to learn how to listen, choose and respond to musical impulses so your tango becomes adaptable, playful and alive. As usual in Jessica's classes, you're welcome to join with or without a dance partner and to dance both roles. **You can register for the full weekend (and get free access to the Milonga) or single workshops, Práctica and/or Milonga, as you feel called.** **You're welcome alone, with a dance partner, or friends.** Per workshop €25 Full Weekend (5 workshops + Practice session + Milonga) €140 Participants of 2 or more workshops get free entry to the Milonga Partial scholarships are available for young students and people with low income. Use the coupon code U30 at checkout [on the website](jessicagerdel.com/tangoimmersion) or reach out to Jessica. Spread the word and get ready to dance it all!

**Jenseits des Oberflächlichen – mit spiritueller Tiefe, praktischer Inspiration und in entspannter Atmosphäre.** *"Es gibt absolut nichts Falsches daran, auf der „Ebene der Form“ zu manifestieren – sei es materieller Wohlstand, kreative Errungenschaften oder Dinge dieser Art. Tatsächlich kann das Manifestieren auf diese Weise zu den lohnendsten und erfüllendsten Erfahrungen auf unserer menschlichen Reise gehören.* *Doch für viele von uns geht wahre Manifestation über die äußere Welt hinaus und dringt tiefer – in unser inneres Sein (und darüber hinaus)."* (N.N.) ### Einladung zu den nächsten **Spirituellen Gesprächen** Bist du es leid, Gespräche zu führen, die an der Oberfläche bleiben? Sehnst du dich nach Austausch, der inspiriert, berührt – und wirklich etwas in dir bewegt? Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den **Spirituellen Gesprächen** ein: einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für Menschen, die sich nach Tiefe, Orientierung und einem sinnerfüllten Leben sehnen. Gemeinsam erforschen wir, wie es ist, im **Jetzt** zu leben – jenseits von Gedankenmustern, innerem Lärm und der rein verstandesmäßigen Sicht auf die Welt. ### Wer ist eingeladen? Menschen mitten im Leben (typischerweise 45+), die * äußerlich vieles erreicht haben, sich innerlich aber noch nicht ganz angekommen fühlen * eine tiefere spirituelle Verbindung und echten Sinn suchen * persönliche Begleitung und Austausch auf Augenhöhe schätzen ### Themen, in die wir gemeinsam eintauchen * **Spiritualität erforschen** – die Verbundenheit von Selbst und Leben entdecken * **Weisheit kultivieren** – innere Ruhe, Kraft und Klarheit wachsen lassen * **Mit Wandel umgehen** – Lebensübergänge bewusst gestalten * **Den eigenen Sinn erkennen** – was trägt dich wirklich? * **Dem Leben vertrauen** – Freude, Liebe und Offenheit zulassen Bring deine Gedanken, Fragen und das mit, was dich gerade bewegt. Wir teilen Einsichten, Erfahrungen und Impulse – ohne Dogma, ohne Belehrung. Diese Gespräche sind **frei von religiösen oder spirituellen Zugehörigkeiten**. ### Über mich Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgehende Gespräche. Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, innere Klarheit zu finden, ihrem eigenen Weg zu vertrauen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sich stimmig und erfüllt anfühlt. 👉 *Hier kannst du dir ein Bild von meiner Arbeit machen:* **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)** Ein Nachmittag für **Tiefe, Offenheit und echte Verbindung**. Begegne Gleichgesinnten, lass dich inspirieren und genieße eine warme, ruhige Atmosphäre. Für Gebäck und Getränke ist gesorgt. **Beitrag:** € 15,- (zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und Raummiete) Bitte gib mir kurz Bescheid, falls du doch nicht teilnehmen kannst. Und sei bitte pünktlich. Falls das Haupttor geschlossen ist, nutze den Code **2008 + Schlüsselsymbol** oder schreibe mir unter **0681 1069 1321**. Wenn dich das anspricht, **melde dich jetzt an** und sei Teil einer tiefgehenden Gesprächsrunde. Ich freue mich auf dich. Dieter Langenecker [www.langenecker.com](http://www.langenecker.com/)

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.

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.
