Hello Everyone! 

1) Welcome Eric! seeking a 30 day gratitude buddy to seek relief from a recent, painful loss.

2) Empathy Circle for ALL Buddies:  November 12 at 4pm CET/ 10am EST

Empathy Circle 

You're invited to join!

Summary:
“How Are You.... Really?" In a world dominated by superficial interactions, genuine human connection is often lost—even though loneliness poses serious health risks, as noted by the WHO. This mindful networking session, inspired by “How Are You Really?”, invites participants into empathy circles that foster authentic sharing and deep listening. Through these small-group exchanges, participants can express true feelings, witness others’ experiences, and cultivate connection and empathy. The simple question “How are you?” becomes a doorway to real understanding and emotional well-being.

Agenda:

Introduction
Empathy circles (small-group exchanges)
Closing round

RSVP: YES to this EMAIL. This session will be led by Odine.

3) Ready for a Mindful Walk, Chat and Laugh?  Yes, they can go together!  This event will be in-person for Vienna Buddies. 

More soon!

4) Dear Poetry Lovers! I have been on a bit of a poetry pause. And when Chat GPT told me I have a 3-8% chance of getting my poems published, I decided to do it myself! It should be out in a week or two!  More soon! :)  

5) Want to connect, share feedback, updates or be removed? Write me! 

6) Came across this today and loved too much not to share :

Everything that needs to be said has already been said. 

But, since no one was listening, everything must be said again

Bye for now,
