Volunteering

Welcome to [Hidden Lotu.s] This is not just another meetup. This is a space created for self-awareness, intentionality, mindfulness, and growth in mind, body, and soul. Our purpose is simple: • To provide a safe container for you to explore healing, self-discovery, and spiritual practice. • To guide (not do) your healing journey — giving you tools, practices, and insights so you can ground your own energy, manifest your own visions, and connect with your own power. This group is for anyone who walks a different path — seekers, dreamers, practitioners of light. Whether you identify as a mystic, magician, alchemist, healer, “weirdo,” societal outcast, or simply someone tired of the surface-level distractions of this world… you are welcome here. 💰 Energy Exchange 300k VND (in-person or Zoom) This isn’t just a ticket—it’s a commitment to yourself and the group, showing you’re serious about your growth and respectful of everyone involved. I’ve spent 3 years and over $10K deepening these practices, and I’m keeping this intentionally accessible because I believe this work should reach our community. This pricing won’t last forever—it’s my way of giving back to those who are ready now. Your investment includes: • Guided practices and wisdom to align and ground your energy. • An environment designed to support your highest good (not your self-destruction). • The opportunity to be part of the FIRST dedicated spiritual awareness group in VN — a community built on respect, curiosity, and authenticity. 🧘 What to Expect • Breathwork, grounding, and energy-alignment exercises. • Space to reflect, share, and connect without judgment. • Practices that can be taken home and applied to your own spiritual journey. 📜 Ground Rules (Read Carefully) This is a space of respect, awareness, and truth. To keep the energy clean: 1\. Zero Judgment – all religions\, lifestyles\, and beliefs are welcome\. 2\. No Toxicity – destructive behaviors \(to self or others\) won’t be tolerated\. 3\. Consent is Key – no touching\, pressuring\, or bothering anyone without their explicit consent\. 4\. No “Fixing” Others – share only if asked\. Everyone has their own path\. 5\. No Selling/Preaching – outside services\, agendas\, or recruitment are strictly prohibited\. 6\. No Babysitting – we guide\, you walk\. Your healing is yours to claim\. 7\. Only Light Energy – leave ego\, drama\, and bad vibes at the door\. 8\. Arrive Sober & Present – no alcohol\, no drugs\. This is about awareness\, not escape\. 📍 Location Tina Cafè Address: 13-15 Nguyễn Thanh Sơn, Phường Thạnh Mỹ Lợi, Thủ Đức, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh 700000, Vietnam We’ll meet inside the cafe where I’ll already be 📞 Questions?

Start the New Year off right! Join us as we get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event to distribute food at the Champion Food Pantry! We’ve created a great little community of Movie Group friends! Rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve people in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: The Champion Food Pantry provides needed food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. For this event, we’ll be volunteering to help with Food Distribution during client pick up times. Our group will receive on-the-spot training from some of their seasoned regular volunteers. PLAN FOR CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: Please arrive by 2:45pm. Our volunteer time will be from 3:00 to 6:00pm. LOCATION & PARKING: The Champion Food Pantry is located at 1460 S. Champion Ave in Columbus. Parking is located in the lot on Frebis across from the pantry. Please enter through the door marked "Volunteers enter here” on Frebis Ave. A map has been uploaded to the photos. IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the majority of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. No shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will mak you ineligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.

But the benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering can provide a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need. PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities. Thanks for your help and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM).
