Protest Merck's Puppy Torture

Fri, Nov 13, 11:00 PM
From Direct Action Everywhere: People Who Love Animals
4.9

Merck is one of the greatest culprits in the animal testing industry. They are actively subjecting dogs to horrific experiments. In the past, they have induced beagles with rabies, killed them to extract their organs, and pumped them full of experimental drugs. Please join us for this nonviolent demonstration. **WHEN:** Friday, October 13 at 3:00 pm **WHERE:** Merck Research Laboratories: 213 E Grand Ave., South San Francisco, CA 94080. Parking is sparse so please allow time to get a spot if driving. **WHO:** Everyone is welcome! \-\-\- Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) is a grassroots network of animal rights activists. Through open rescue, demonstration, and disruption, we help build a world where every animal is safe, happy and free. DxE cultivates a welcoming and supportive community. We ask that all those who attend our events (online and offline) respect our Code of Conduct which can be reviewed at [dxe.io/conduct](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdxe.io%2Fconduct%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAcGRvZgFicmlkETE2MzBFNDJYUTRGcVpHSEdDc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHrcj95F2mCDd1dFzUmVODD5dGRd0gCe0fTHsYAfGRGceAiZAi56zA9_Tori3_aem_b5f1KcoXsf1cCqnPR2POvg&h=AUDmsfPSbEoc4-ySmpTmTDqdnH_koRSkde7qVA2sTHsTtCRo-CKwgeGK0gyx_tylQTQUKiJtOENH4izB0kYLHlykhEzRuEDlIhUwk-ndd_03HmCTiLn5s8oGuO1uRph_jCSMuvM2LOnRoaRFKVgg-Sr37sAXNFJr&__tn__=q&c%5B0%5D=AUC1Rbu-YhGmHKtNI-CirhY_9w1wFYVwMXcSNKAyT3d5znw5IvIkN38gUpkIEoMfBetEnqYFWNnP1OQO1Ohp3OZ2nsFlqJSsvZSfUBWKM2tKuY5SmcdeEntYCvDYpE_c_FHAVjtewYB89fNDzmWepAUA30gnClMFIPA).

Bay Area Singles Relational Lab - Facilitated Connection Experience

Bay Area Singles Relational Lab - Facilitated Connection Experience

Mon, Nov 16, 2:00 AM
From Singles Events in the US & Canada | Conscious Connections
4.7

**Tired of dating apps and conversations that go nowhere?** **What if meeting new people could actually feel good again?** When we started Conscious Connections, I interviewed hundreds of people about dating and connection. And I kept hearing the same things: *"I'm tired of swiping and having the same conversations over and over."* *"I just want to meet someone I can have a real connection with."* *"Dating feels so superficial these days."* *"I'm exhausted by dating apps. I want to meet people in real life."* Underneath all those frustrations was the same longing: to meet people we can be ourselves with. To laugh, feel at ease, have meaningful conversations, and discover where a genuine connection might lead. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜. Two hours that give you energy instead of taking it. Playful, warm, alive. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, honest and real again. ๐—™๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฅ๐—ฆ๐—ฉ๐—ฃ. ๐Ÿ‘‰ $59 to book your place, and hear from people who've been: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Each booking is a place in our monthly Relational Lab.

For 2 hours, you step into a parallel world where strangers stop feeling like strangers. We play connection games designed to drop the small talk, meet our common humanity, and exhale into the ease of being yourself with others. For some, it's the first time they've ever felt this. You're in control at all times, choosing your edges: playful and light, or bold and deep. Often, the lighter we play, the deeper it gets. We've seen people make lifelong friends, meet partners, even heal their relationship with a parent. It isn't therapy. It's what becomes possible when a space is held this well. ๐—œ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ป'๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ญ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น. ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ? Neither would we, if the only calls we'd been on were meetings that drag on or webinars where someone talks at you. This is the opposite. Everyone's camera is on, everyone's playing, and you feel connected within minutes. Facilitated with mastery, online is as powerful as being in the room. We know, because we've run both for years. You come exactly as you are, from your own couch, with no outfit, no commute and no awkward entrance. Most people leave lighter than they arrived. ๐—ช๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—œ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ป? After the online session, you're invited to an optional gathering in person, where applicable. It's your chance to practice what you've learned out in the world, without the small talk. Eloah chooses the place and time with care, based on who was present, the weather, what's happening in the city that day, and sometimes what the group discovered about each other's passions and hobbies. ๐——๐—ผ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป? The tools are yours for life. You'll notice them on your next date, in your next hard conversation, at your next dinner with friends. People come back months later and tell us how differently they now walk into a room. ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐˜€? Dating apps are a tool. Connection games are a tool, too. What matters is how they're designed, how we use them, and the intention we bring. Here, you're among people who chose to show up with curiosity and a genuine desire to connect. Instead of trying to impress someone through a profile or a string of messages, you experience one another in real time. You discover how people listen, laugh, express themselves, navigate vulnerability and respond to others. And you get to notice how you feel in their presence. ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด? It's slow dating, and the long game is the shortcut. Instead of pairing you up, rotating you and praying for chemistry, most games are played with everyone together, so you meet each other as humans first. Many people leave with new friends, some with a whole new circle, and if more develops over time, it grows from a solid foundation. On a first date, people show their best face. Here, you see the full face, and your chances of falling for a real, imperfect human are much higher. ๐—œ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜? This is a connection-to-self-first space. Many people who ask this have had experiences where things got sexual or romantic too fast, and it felt forced. Sexual energy is one of the most powerful energies there is, and it deserves respect. Here, you connect to all of yourself first, and then to others as whole people. You learn relational frameworks you can play as gently or as boldly as you choose. Some people arrive mending a broken heart, unsure they even want to date again. Others arrive ready for something wild and alive. Nothing is pushed on you, and you move at your own pace. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ผ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€? People who want more depth in how they meet others. Some are new to the city and rebuilding their circle. Some are coming out of a long relationship and wondering where to start. Many have full, busy lives and still want more. Plenty are introverts who would never walk into a bar mixer. What they share: curiosity, an open heart and readiness to meet their equals. ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ? Sessions are open to every adult age, so who's there changes from month to month. What people share is readiness for real connection, and that tends to matter far more than a birth year. Many say their most surprising connection was with someone they'd never have swiped on, or who would never have swiped on them. ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜† ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ? Groups are kept small by design, so you're never just watching a screen full of talking heads. Connection deepens when there's room for every voice. This is also where you meet your city's introverts: you thought you knew everyone, and they've been hiding. If you happen to be the only one on the day, it becomes a private 1:1 session with Eloah, normally $319, at no extra cost to you. ๐—ช๐—ต๐˜† $๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿต? You're investing in an experience most people never have, held by a facilitator with 15 years of experience. One game, one moment, can change the trajectory of your life. We keep it as affordable as possible so this glimpse of what's possible can reach everyone. We tend to overestimate the cost of doing something, and underestimate the cost of not doing it. Each session takes its own shape with whoever is present. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. ๐—•๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด. ๐—–๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ. ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐˜.
