Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani (Live in-person and online on selected Thursdays via Zoom) You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani — a living space of awakenings and direct experience. These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path. At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition.

Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support. Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET).

Rainbow Body Yoga – Level 1 Online Course We warmly invite you to join the Rainbow Body Yoga Level 1 Course, a transformative practice from the Open Heart tradition. The course is taught by Amrita Rani, an ordained sangha member and trained Open Heart instructor. You are welcome to join either in person in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia, or online via Zoom. Rainbow Body Yoga is a profound tantric non-meditation practice designed to deconstruct the selfing mechanism of the mind. Through the Guru mantras of Padmasambhava and Yeshe Tsogyal, subtle energy practices, and dynamic concentration, we cut through self-based energies that block the direct recognition of our natural state. Although regarded within the tradition as a post-awakening purification practice, you do not need to be awakened to begin. The practice itself deepens recognition of the selfless state, supporting further awakenings and the maturation of clarity. Both those who have experienced awakening shifts and those who feel called to deepen their spiritual path are warmly welcome. This carefully structured sequence works directly with the causal body, where self-based energies are stored. We examine the klesha of ignorance (avidya), the root of existential suffering. With the Guru’s blessings, RBY techniques, and vipashyana (direct seeing), even the subtlest layers of selfing can be cut through. As the practice deepens, you become familiar with the clarity and aliveness of your enlightened mind. Eventually, you recognize that wakeful awareness has always been present, even within negative thoughts and emotions. As mental clutter dissolves into the natural state, increased clarity brings deep healing. Self-sabotaging patterns can be liberated, and the energy once consumed by worry and rumination becomes available to you. Practiced consistently, Rainbow Body Yoga reveals the natural luminosity of selfless awareness and leads toward the realization of emptiness, not as a concept, but as a living experience. These precious practices were given to Amrita Baba by Padmasambhava through visionary transmission, offering a direct path beyond self-based suffering. Level 1 provides a grounded and systematic introduction, enabling you to continue confidently with your home practice. The process is powerful, deeply rewarding, and often brings tangible results relatively quickly. You’re welcome to join either of the weekend courses, or both, if you wish. However, attending just one weekend is already enough to begin practicing on your own. First Weekend Course 📅 20–21 June 2026 🕒 3:00–9:00 pm (CET) Dinner break approximately 6:00–7:30 pm each day Participation fee: Sliding scale €100–200, depending on your financial situation. Please make your payment in advance via PayPal to: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com Register by emailing Amrita Rani at kaisaeskeli@gmail.com. You will receive the Zoom link for all sessions. If you are joining in person, you will receive the address of the event location in Zgornje Gorje, Slovenia. Welcome all!

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**! The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!

**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.

**Men of Unity** is a safe, welcoming space for men to connect, share, and grow together. In this circle, we explore what it means to live with purpose, integrity, and spiritual awareness in today’s world. Through open dialogue, reflection, and mutual support, we learn to balance strength with compassion, confidence with humility, and action with mindfulness. Whether you’re seeking deeper spiritual connection, personal clarity, or simply a supportive brotherhood, this group invites you to bring your authentic self and grow in community. This week the Men's of Group will meet at Scrambler's - the North Hamilton Road location: 5729 North Hamilton Road Columbus, 43230
