☕The Sunday roastery stroll! (20-35 yo)🚶♀️
**📌 THE PLAN**
The holiday chaos is finally settling, but Sundays were made for wandering. We’re getting together for a relaxed afternoon walk through the heart of Milan. **No strict itinerary, no stress**—just a casual route in the city centre, ending with a chocolate fix at Starbucks Cordusio.
**HOW IT WORKS**
* **The Meeting Point:** 4:00 PM, P.zza Castello 1. An easy point to meet-
* **The Vibe:** You can have a walk around Parco Sempione,a classic spot for milanese sundays, then go down Via Dante, cross through Piazza Duomo, and head toward the Starbucks Roastery.
* **The Finish Line:** Once you hit Piazza Cordusio, you’ll grab a coffee or a hot chocolate at the **Starbucks Roastery**. Whether you grab it to go or find a spot inside depends on the crowd and the group’s mood.
**📌 IMPORTANT: COMMUNITY-LED (No Official Host)**
This is a self-organized meetup. There is no designated "event leader" on-site, so the success of the afternoon depends on the people who show up.
* **Communication is Key:** You **must** join the WhatsApp group to coordinate. It’s the only way to find the group if you’re running late or can’t spot the crowd.
* **The Reality Check:** If the WhatsApp chat is silent by Sunday at 2:00 PM, assume the energy is low and the event isn't happening. If you want it to happen, be the one to send the first message!
**📌 TO JOIN**
1. **RSVP** on Meetup.
2. **Join the [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FYTML17W7mxAmXXOrvIBSs)** <--- Mandatory for real-time updates.
3. **Keep it real:** If your plans change, please update your RSVP so the group isn't waiting around for you.

STILL HR: Close 2025 with a Communal Adult Coloring-in Experience (women 35+)
**Before the new year begins, you are invited to a quiet, intentional hour of coloring together in silence. *There is no fee to attend.***
Coloring gives your hands something simple to do, which allows the nervous system to slow down and the mind to wander without pressure.
Many people find that clarity arises on its own, not because they are trying to reflect, but because they finally have room to.
This is not spiritual. It is not therapeutic. It is not a workshop.
There is nothing to achieve, fix, or prepare for.
It is simply a communal pause and a quiet way to let the year land before moving on.
This is a phone-free, expectation-free space to slow down and take personal inventory of the year that is ending.
There are no prompts, no discussion, and nothing to share. Just time to sit, color, and let your thoughts settle naturally in the presence of others doing the same.
Attendance is capped at 10 people to keep the space calm and intimate.
### How the hour will work:
* **First 15 minutes:** Arrive, get comfortable, choose your coloring materials, order at the bar, and hear a brief explanation of the format and guidelines
* **Next 45 minutes:** Coloring in silence
* After the session ends, those who wish are welcome to stay and socialize
### What to expect:
* 45 minutes of silent coloring
* No phones and no conversation during the coloring time
* Materials provided (FREE), or bring your own if you prefer
* A calm and respectful environment
* **Please arrive a little in advance & purchase your beverage at the bar**
### Who this is for:
* Women 35+
* Anyone feeling mentally full, overstimulated, or tired of constant doing
* Those who want a low-pressure way to close the year without rituals or resolutions
Free to attend. Come as you are, even if you do not feel particularly reflective or festive.
Sometimes the most meaningful reset is simply being still together.

🍕Street food lunch - Central Market🧀
📌 **THE PLAN**
Can’t decide between pizza, sushi, or burgers? Don't. We’re heading to **Mercato Centrale** for a "Low-Logistics" Saturday lunch. The goal is simple: grab whatever food you’re actually craving, find a big table, and meet new people without the nightmare of splitting a complicated bill or the formality of a sit-down restaurant.
**HOW IT WORKS (Read Carefully)**
* **Meet at 12:30 PM:** Gather at the main entrance of Mercato Centrale (inside Stazione Centrale, Via Sammartini side).
* **Divide & Conquer:** Once the group is gathered, head inside to scout for a table.
* **Choose Your Fighter:** Everyone hits their favorite stall—whether it’s Roman pizza, dumplings, or a classic burger—and we all meet back at the table to eat, drink, and chat. It’s loud, it’s casual, and it’s 100% stress-free.
📌 **IMPORTANT: THIS EVENT IS COMMUNITY-LED.**
The Meetup team won't be present.
* **Coordination:** You **MUST** join the WhatsApp group to coordinate. Finding a table for a group in a busy food hall requires teamwork!
* **Real Talk:** If the WhatsApp chat is silent on Saturday morning, assume the event is not happening. Speak up to make it happen—be the one to say "I'm going, who's with me?"
📌 **JOIN HERE**
1. **RSVP to join**.
2. **Join the [WhatsApp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IgtjWI0vKOHIkntAkVfKet)**[ ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IgtjWI0vKOHIkntAkVfKet)— (Essential to find the table inside and coordinate!).
3. (Please!) **Keep your RSVP on Meetup updated**.
You can't miss, because yes: **Street Food is the new way to lunch**!
Chapter 17: Just One More Game🎲🃏
As the year comes to a close, we’re gathering one last time for a relaxed Sunday evening of board games and good company. This will likely be our final game night of the year, making it the perfect moment to slow down, look back on all the great chapters, and enjoy one more night around the table together.
🎯 WHAT TO EXPECT
**A Huge Game Library**:
Draft has something for every type of player, from fast and silly party games to longer strategy games. You can also bring your own favorites if you want to share them.
**A Friendly Community**:
Our group includes locals, internationals, newcomers, and regulars. Everyone is welcome, whether you come alone or with friends.
**No Experience Needed**:
We help form groups and explain rules, so you can jump right in even if you have never played a game before.

🗓 **When**: Sunday, 28 December 2025

Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration!
This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired.
I've been hardware hacking a See N Say to make it say whatever I want - while the project is in progress still, it should be working by this meetup! I'll bring it for demo. [See N Say Project](https://github.com/cdeever/esp32-see-n-say)
While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.
This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer
I don't usually pick romance but I really wanted to do a Hanukkah book. It's a bit on the longer side but hopefully a quick read. The library only has 5 audiobooks so please try to remember to "release it" when you're done.

Book summary:
Rachel Rubenstein-Goldblatt is a nice Jewish girl with a shameful secret: she loves Christmas. For a decade she’s hidden her career as a Christmas romance novelist from her family. Her talent has made her a bestseller even as her chronic illness has always kept the kind of love she writes about out of reach.
But when her diversity-conscious publisher insists she write a Hanukkah romance, her well of inspiration suddenly runs dry. Hanukkah’s not magical. It’s not merry. It’s not *Christmas*. Desperate not to lose her contract, Rachel’s determined to find her muse at the Matzah Ball, a Jewish music celebration on the last night of Hanukkah, even if it means working with her summer camp archenemy—Jacob Greenberg.
Though Rachel and Jacob haven’t seen each other since they were kids, their grudge still glows brighter than a menorah. But as they spend more time together, Rachel finds herself drawn to Hanukkah—and Jacob—in a way she never expected. Maybe this holiday of lights will be the spark she needed to set her heart ablaze.

Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
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.
Wild Ones: Annual Native Seed Swap
Wild Ones: Annual Native Seed Swap
January 10, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Join Wild Ones Columbus for their annual native seeds swap. If you have native seeds to share, please label them with the Latin name and common name. The seeds don’t need to be removed from the seed head if you aren’t sure how to do it, but remove as much stem as possible.
Bringing seeds is not required. Bring bags or envelopes to store seeds.
Inniswood Metro Gardens
940 S. Hempstead Rd.
Westerville, OH 43081
Phone (614)895-6216
This event will be held in the Greenhouse/Multipurpose Building located near the east end of the parking lot. Click here to see the Inniswood map.
If you have native seeds to share, label each species with this information:
* Botanical Name
* Common Name
Species we will accept:
* Species native to our ecoregion (8.2.4) - Best
* Species native to Ohio and surrounding states - Good
* Straight species only - no cultivars.
The seeds don’t need to be removed from the seed head if you aren’t sure how to do it, but don’t leave much stem on the seed heads.
Please email the list of species to Mary May so we can prepare information for attendees. You can bring the seeds on the day of the swap, or we can arrange to have them picked up beforehand - just let her know in the email.
If you don’t have any seeds to bring, no worries. If you are new to native plants or didn't have time to collect seeds, there are ALWAYS plenty from those that do bring them! We love to see "newbies" at our seed exchange! Also, remember to bring something to put seeds in such as envelopes, paper bags or containers.
