Most of us spend our lives in the *middle zone* — not exactly suffering, but not truly shining either. We carry a silent emotional overload that acts like a dimmer switch on our internal light. This workshop is designed to help you flip that switch back to **Bright**. Whether you're a busy professional or simply longing to feel better in your body and mind, this session is a space to recharge and elevate. **This is an experience.** Instead of just talking about wellness, we use somatic energy techniques to *physically* shift how you feel. By gently clearing emotional and mental residue from the system, we create space for clarity, ease, and natural flow. In this 90-minute session, you will: * **Identify and measure:** Gain a clear baseline of how you feel right now using the SUE scale. * **Experience somatic tapping:** A gentle, physical technique to clear away emotional noise and mental fog. * **Apply energy techniques:** Discover how to move energy through your system to restore flow. * **Witness your evolution:** See exactly how much your state of mind and body has evolved by the end of the session. * **Details:** * **When:** Sunday\, February 22nd \| 16:00 – 17:30 * **Where:** Hohlstrasse, 8004 Zürich * *(Full address will be shared with confirmed participants.)* * **Cost:** Free, donation-based community session to support the creation of future workshops. * *(Suggested donation: 15–25 CHF to cover space and materials.)* * **RSVP:** Limited to 10-12 participants to keep the atmosphere intimate and supportive. *Come as you are.* *Leave lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself.* PS: Feel free to message me with any questions :)

Welcome cold lovers! We have been practising cold water plunges for over 4 years. We believe in the benefits of cold water exposure. The feeling you get after the swim is magnificent, it makes you feel alive. We have started this group to safely experience the cold water together. We motivate each other, do active warmup exercises, and also share our life stories with a warm coffee/tea afterwards. The event is every Sunday at 11:30, we meet this time at Savera-Areal, no matter the weather. Take along: a large towel, comfortable bathing suit, flip-flops, and warm clothes (hat, gloves, etc). If you’re planning swimming out take along a bright swim buoy. The event is Free. IMPORTANT: Every participant takes responsibility for themselves when attending this event. Before attempting cold water exposure, individuals with health conditions (e.g., heart problems or hypertension) should seek advice from a healthcare professional. Safely acclimating the body to cold temperatures requires preparation and gradual exposure.

[Tickets for this event are sold via eventfrog](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/wellness/envision-feelings-on-canvas-your-safe-space-in-color-7424100423378689785.html) Envision Feelings on Canvas is a guided, embodied workshop that invites participants to reconnect with a personal sense of safety and calm through meditation, gentle movement, and intuitive painting. The experience begins by slowing down. **Through soft breathing techniques, guided meditation, and intuitive movement, participants are gently supported in settling both body and mind into a meditative state**. From here, they are invited to imagine and explore an inner space where they feel grounded, safe, and at ease. This process encourages deep listening to the body and emotions, allowing thoughts, sensations, and feelings to naturally arise without judgment. From this calm, reflective state, **participants translate their inner experience onto canvas. With the guidance of an instructor, they are introduced to simple painting techniques and fundamental concepts of color, shape, and composition.** The focus is not on technical perfection, but on expression and intention, learning how visual elements can communicate emotion, mood, and atmosphere. No prior experience is needed. **You do not need to have painted or meditated before**. The entire process is gently guided step by step, and all necessary materials are provided. Participants are fully supported throughout the workshop. The result is a deeply personal artwork that becomes a visual anchor to this inner safe space. A painting you can return to at any time, using color and form as a reminder of calm, safety, and presence. **Each participant takes home their finished 30 × 40 cm canvas, a tangible reflection of their inner experience.** [Tickets for this event are sold via eventfrog](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/health-spirituality/wellness/envision-feelings-on-canvas-your-safe-space-in-color-7424100423378689785.html)

Join us at **Unity of Columbus** for *Spa for Your Soul*, a restorative and inspiring workshop designed to nourish your spirit, awaken your inner wisdom, and reconnect you with the sacred rhythm of life. Drawing from the rich spiritual insights of **Matthew Fox** and the timeless theological wisdom of **Thomas Aquinas**, this workshop invites participants into a deeper experience of spirituality rooted in compassion, creativity, and divine presence. Together, we will explore spirituality not as something distant or abstract, but as a lived, embodied experience—one that honors joy, justice, beauty, and the inherent goodness of creation. Through guided reflection, gentle spiritual practices, discussion, and contemplative moments, *Spa for Your Soul* offers a sacred space to release stress, renew clarity, and remember the divine spark within. This is an opportunity to pause, breathe, and tend lovingly to your soul—much like a spa experience, but for your inner life. Whether you are seeking spiritual refreshment, deeper understanding, or simply a peaceful space to be present, this workshop welcomes you exactly as you are. **Come, rest, reflect, and renew—your soul deserves it.**

Our next much-awaited **COLUMBUS** meetup is **Tuesday February 24 from 7-10 pm at ACE OF CUPS**.

SEE YOU THERE!

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

Join us on Monday nights at 7pm for two 25 minute quiet meditations, with one short walking meditation in between. There will be a brief and informal conversation afterward. Stay for as long as you like and feel free to bring or share whatever is on your mind. All Zen Center events are also available via Zoom at bit.ly/IndyZen.
