Transformation

This week, we’ll explore the idea of flow, slowing down, and trusting life a little more. What happens when we stop forcing, controlling, or resisting everything quite so much? Can we allow ourselves to relax, notice what is present, and trust the process even when we don’t fully know where life is going? This meetup is a calm reflective space with light grounding, awareness, and open conversation. We may include: • a short grounding practice • a simple reflection question • open sharing and listening No pressure to speak or participate in any specific way. Just a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself and others. 📍 Location: If the weather is good, we’ll meet outdoors in the park near Mikrokosmos and sit together on the grass in a relaxed picnic-style setting. In case of rain or colder weather, we’ll meet indoors at Casino Luxembourg art gallery. 🕠 Wednesday, 17:30–18:30 👥 Small group format

***Spring & Summer Florals Edition*** There is something quietly revelatory about truly paying attention to a scent. Not just spraying and moving on, but sitting with it - noticing what it stirs, where it takes you, what it makes you feel before your mind has time to catch up. That is what **Notes After Dark** is about. Join us on Wednesday 13 May at the beautiful Parfumerie en Liberté in Luxembourg City for an intimate guided exploration of spring and summer florals. Over two unhurried hours, we will journey through the full spectrum of the floral family together - from light and dewy to the heady and intoxicating, closing on something altogether unexpected. Your host Greta, founder of Clet Dolph and fragrance consultant, will guide the group through a curated selection of fragrances one by one - presenting the notes, the accords, and the story behind each scent, before opening the floor for your first impressions and reflections. This is a group discussion as much as a guided experience - curious conversation is very much part of the evening. Complimentary drinks are included. Spaces are strictly limited. **Registration is strictly required as spaces are limited. Tickets and registration via Eventbrite — link below.** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/notes-after-dark-fragrance-discovery-evening-registration-1988713780452

**✨ Gather & Grow – The First Circle** There’s a moment when you realize you’ve outgrown your current life… But you don’t yet know what the next version of you looks like. This event is for that moment. Gather & Grow is not just another meetup. It’s a space for people who want more- from themselves, from relationships, from life. For this first event, we’re doing something different. Instead of forcing a fixed topic, we open the space to explore what actually matters to you: – relationships and dating dynamics – confidence and self-trust – breaking patterns that keep repeating – personal growth, identity, and transformation Or anything else that’s been sitting in your mind, waiting for a place to be said out loud. This is a guided, intentional conversation—not random sharing. You will be seen, heard, and challenged in the right way. And here’s the truth: This first circle will shape everything that comes next. Future events will go deeper—real topics, real situations, real-time guidance. This is where we build the foundation together. **📍 Practical details** The event will take place at **I AM WOW, City Concord**. There is **free parking available**, so logistics are not your excuse. This is a café-restaurant space, so please keep in mind that ordering a drink is expected. 👉 Arrive **a little earlier** so you can order comfortably— we will **start on time**, together, without delays. If you’ve been craving better conversations, sharper insights, and a different kind of environment… you’ll feel it immediately when you walk in. Come as you are. Leave different. **🔒 A few important notes** This is not a passive event. If you come, come ready to **engage, reflect, and contribute**—in your own way and at your own pace. This space is for people who are open to growth, honest conversations, and new perspectives. Not for spectators, and not for staying comfortably the same. We keep the group **intimate**, so everyone has the chance to be part of the experience. Respect, presence, and confidentiality are expected. What is shared in the room, stays in the room. — Lanna

Il y a des moments où l’on se sent traversé par beaucoup trop d’émotions à la fois. Trop fort, trop vite, trop longtemps. Et quand cela arrive, on peut vite se sentir submergé, fatigué, ou même coupé de soi. C’est précisément ce que nous explorerons lors de la soirée énergie du mercredi 13 mai : comment mieux ressentir ce que l’on vit, sans se laisser envahir, et comment retrouver un peu d’espace intérieur quand les émotions débordent. Au programme : \- mieux comprendre le trop\-plein émotionnel\, \- identifier ce qui nous déborde le plus souvent\, \- découvrir des pistes pour traverser ces moments avec plus de douceur et de clarté\. Cette soirée s’adresse à toute personne qui souhaite mieux se connaître, mieux vivre ses émotions, et retrouver un peu d’apaisement dans son quotidien. Je vous invite à nous rejoindre le 13 mai pour ce temps d’échange et d’exploration.

For this book club, I’d like to suggest a story about a woman who is simply trying to live in a way that will make society leave her alone. As usual, it doesn’t quite work out. Convenience Store Woman has been described by The Guardian as “a deadpan Japanese tale of an oddball shop assistant that possesses a strange beauty”. What struck me, though, was not its strangeness but its calm. Unexpectedly, the book helped me find reassurance in routine itself—in small, unnoticed actions, and in the permission to exist sometimes as a function, sometimes as a fictional character. I hope you are intrigued by now. If not, I would still encourage you to pick up Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata— it is quite short! —and to join our discussion, where we will reflect together on questions of normality, meaning in work, and the fragile line between individuality and conformity.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation.

Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

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.

Do toxic people weigh you down? Affect your happiness? How can having toxic relationships affect your Health? And moreover, how can you spot them before it’s too late? Attend this in-person meeting to find out how to spot these people and remove their negative emotions from your life. This event is hosted by The Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center in Central Ohio.
