**EVENT OVERVIEW**
Join us for an intimate Kundalini Activation session designed to awaken your life-force energy and reconnect you with your authentic self.

**WHAT IS KUNDALINI ACTIVATION?**
Unlike Kundalini Yoga that relies on physical postures and breath-work, this journey is one of complete surrender. The intelligent life-force energy naturally rises within you, awakening dormant parts of your being and fostering growth on emotional, mental and spiritual levels. This intuitively guided process works in harmony with your unique needs, gently releasing stored emotions and helping you rediscover your authentic self.

★Want to find your authentic self through awakening your Kundalini
★Have tried therapy or other modalities but feel they haven't touched the deepest parts of what you need to release

★Value intimate, personal, exclusive spaces (max 6 people) over large groups
★Are ready for deep transformation, not just relaxation
★Want tough motherly love from Kali energy that will destroy everything that isn't true for you
**WHY GROUPS MATTER**
This journey touches the deepest parts of who you are. In our 10-person setting, you can surrender fully to whatever wants to emerge - whether it's tears you've held back for years, anger you've suppressed, or joy you've forgotten how to feel. These groups creates a safe space for emotional vulnerability and deeper connections to share and listen to everyone's experiences.

NEW HIKE: Hidden jewel of the Jurassic Coast
Let's start the Spring with your brand new favourite springy hike!
Yeeeeeesssssss!
And it is gorse season so be ready for a yellow blanket covering the cliff top giving your photos the peps that it deserves!
Wanna go to an absolutely stunning place and enjoy some less known and less busy views of the Jurassic Coast with as much beauty as the Durdle Door or the Coast of Ireland?
Yes you do! And this is your trip!
Wanna walk pass a place called 'Dolphin point'? Because, you can often see dolphins swimming in the sea as well as the last remaining nesting puffins, razorbills and guillemots(the last remaining penguin species in Europe) on the South Coast of England?
Wanna go through a magical forest, an old quary and a splendid lighthouse for your new favourite photo? Well come with Mama Jon then!
The Jurassic Coast is the Jewel on the crown when it comes to English Coastal beauty and the area which is 95 miles long (150 km) being difficult to access, most people and hikers just go and visit the Old Harry's, Durdle door and Lulworth Cove, about only 10 miles of this very long coastline missing the other 90% WHAT?!
Yes I know, this is a big mistake! There is SO much more to enjoy and the landscapes you will see on this trip will blow your mind!
SO, here are a few details for you to get an idea of the trip.
We will take a train for a couple of hours, (about 2h20) and then a short bus journey(30 minutes) to Swanage cutting our journey time from 5 to 3 hours. From the sightseeing bus, you will be able to admire national beauties along the way. You need to deserve the Jurassic Coast after all, it isn't so easy to just get there!
Once in Swanage, we will start our hike and climb to see the wonders of Dorset, the hike is medium with a few climbs but it is really worth it.
Most of hike will be on the Southwest Coastal Path and around pretty places such as Anvill Point Lighthouse, Dulston Castle and The Globe with incredible view of a sea that doesn't really make you think UK kind of sea but has more of a Mediterranean kind of vibe.
We will have a break on the cliff top and will then walk through another path back to Swanage where you can get a take away for the train or have a drink there or Wareham if we have time.
Guys, the Jurassic Coast is on the other side of the world so it will be a full day out, we should be back at Waterloo by 21:30... and our train tickets are booked for a certain time to save a bit of ££, but British rail...you know... so do not plan an early one in the evening as I will not cut the trip short, I will have a UNO though so be ready for war!
INFORMATION:
ATTENTION As Always, trains in Britain, once you leave the South Eastern coast are extremely expensive. Usually about £45 return with the group discount, I will collect that money on the day before the hike via bank transfer to buy the train tickets. There will also be an additional charge on the day of 4£50 tap in with your bank card to pay for a return bus ticket too.
DISTANCE: 9 miles/16km and it takes about 5 hours
DIFFICULTY: Medium, a few steepish climbs
PRICE:
£17 via Paypal
The train ticket should be around £45 ish return to send on my BA on the day before the hike.
About 4£50 tap in for a short bus journey on a sightseeing bus
INCLUDED in the fee:
Guide fee
My costs (My train and buses)
My Paypal fees and my costs
A lovely time with the loveliest people, also called Jonions
NOT INCLUDED:
Bus fare
Train
Food
Anything not mentioned above
WHAT TO BRING:
A packed lunch
A bank card that you can use to tap in
Weather appropriate clothing(Think winter, you will might get wet)

ATTENTION:

As you can see, my humour is terrible, good luck with that but know that I take care of my Jonions and read the bit about discrimination please, if you are racist, homophobic, cannot accept that people have other opinions or mental health issues, this might not be a trip for you.

Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
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.
Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!”
