Now STREAMING on YouTube! The Documentary Film "The Phenomenon Bruno Gröning"!
The Documentary film "The Phenomenon Bruno Gröning" -- (On the Tracks of the "Miracle Healer") is now permanently streaming on YouTube!
It chronicles the life, work, and teaching of Bruno Gröning.
In 1949 the name Bruno Gröning dominated the headlines. Everywhere that he appeared, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of people flocked to see him. They came from all over the world including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, and even the USA.
Those who flocked to see him, were sick & injured people. For many it was their last ray of hope. Beaten down by the war, given up on by doctors, they had only one wish, to become healthy again and be free from pain and suffering. Bruno Gröning could help them, and he did! "There is no incurable -- God is the greatest physician!" were his words. Then the unfathomable happened: innumerable people became healthy again!
THE DOCUMENTARY FILM:
"THE PHENOMENON BRUNO GRöNING"
On the Tracks of the "Miracle Healer"
The film shows the dramatic events of that time objectively. The film includes original footage and sound, archived material, over 50 eyewitness interviews, and large-scale re-enactment scenes. All of these aspects make the film a deeply impressive experience.
This film, however, is more than a documented glimpse into the past. Many viewers have reported that they suddenly felt a power, a tingling, a current running in their bodies while watching the film. For most of them, this is a completely new experience. Some have even reported the disappearance of pain, handicaps, and other forms of suffering.
How is that possible when Bruno Gröning died in 1959? The tumult over him has long since past but even today, unusual healings occur through this teaching. Healings from cancer, angina pectoris, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis, as well as healing from drug and other addictions have occurred. These successes have also been documented & verified by medical physicians. Below is a trailer for the film and a 30-minute documentary celebrating the 10th anniversary of the film, as well as links to the entire film in various languages.

If you would also like to attend an introduction to the teaching of Bruno Gröning, please send me a message and I will get in touch with one of our local group leaders who will schedule one for you. Currently, introductions are being held over the phone, one on one. After attending an in person or over the phone introduction, you can then attend our regular meetings where we practice the teaching and share our experiences. Of course, our regular in person meetings are temporarily also on hold, but we are able to meet online through our web portal, which you can register for after your formal introduction. We hope to see you in person or online, soon!

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Bad Girls Book Club April 2026
**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch**
**This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.**
In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse.
Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life.
It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge.
Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .

Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
