Greater Social Life Union of Coventry

Coventry, 43

Greater Social Life Union of Coventry

The Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

There are many steps on your journey to greater social life. Here are the first steps for members of GSLU. After reading the rest of this introduction, you should read the 2021 book The Guide to Thumoslang. Many of our members put this new knowledge into practice as suggested by The GSLU Handbook.

When you spend more time in damage control mode and less time benefiting from your various relations, you waste a great deal of effort in your social life. Such a cost of opportunity keeps you from going at high speed towards your ideals, in creating your ideal self, and in actualizing what you truly want to become. This is likely due to a lack of social clarity, which is essential for internal conversations and vital for meaningful relationships.

Unintentionally created in 2017, accidentally discovered in 2018, and first taught in 2019, Thumoslang is the nomenclature for social clarity. It is used as a language for faster communication, be it in complex collaboration or difficult conversation. The first widespread use of social clarity has been predicted by Thumoslang pioneers to be just as important as the first widespread control of fire. All is explained by The Guide to Thumoslang, which is backed by The Dictionary of Thumoslang.

Again, the Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

Your ideals are the same as your ideal self, which means what you truly want to become. "Everything else is secondary," said Steve Jobs. Our group activities involve you with the first practical steps in the further development of your ideals, in keeping others from interfering with your life, and in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals. To be sure, if you lack social clarity in your internal conversations, face unwanted drama too often, are not sure of your social life or your path into the future, or have no friends and no groups available on a regular basis to help create your ideal self, this group is for you.

*** MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS ***

Our group activities bring you the following benefits:

Benefit 1 - Mastery of Relationships

As new GSLU members participate in the union's activities, they will quickly find themselves having noticeable enhancements in their social lives. The further they participate in GSLU activities, the faster they naturally acquire the mastery of relationships.

Benefit 2 - Best Friends for Your Ideals

Our group activities include practical steps in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals.

Benefit 3 - Internal Dialogues More Effective

Thumoslang is a set of terminology whose use is intended to benefit one's clarity in social situations. Consequently, Thumoslang allows you to have clearer communication with yourself in your mind.

Benefit 4 - Meaningful Relationships Much Stronger

Our members use Thumoslang to mend or strengthen their existing relationships, build new relations, and achieve greater social life.

Benefit 5 - Faster Actualization of Your Ideals

The actualization of your ideals goes faster when it regularly involves your best group, which is the small group of in-person, second-mind friends who are the best for the nurturing of your ideals. Our activities help you speed up the actualization of your ideals by reducing social roadblocks and increasing social shortcuts in your life.

Friendly Faces of Warwickshire

Leamington Spa, P3

Friendly Faces of Warwickshire
Are you aged between 25 and 50 and any of the following?.. \- Looking to meet more people / make new friends; \- New to the area; \- Recently become single; \- Wanting more fun activities in your diary to look forward to; \- Haven't got your social life back to how it was before lockdown; \- Noticing your existing friends all settling down; ....or are you just plain bored / looking for sociable activities to get involved in... Then why not take a bold (but easy) step towards doing something about it, and attend one of the many social events with members of the super-sociable group, the **Friendly Faces of Warwickshire**. We enjoy a variety of scheduled events in Leamington, Warwick and the surrounding area, where new and regular members meet as a group to network and partake in sociable / enjoyable activities. The events to choose from usually take place at the weekend, and can include countryside walks and hikes, gathering in bars, coffee shops or restaurants, going to indoor / outdoor cinemas, pool halls, festivals, tribute bands, stage shows… the list goes on. There is no financial commitment because our events are **free to attend** and you can add yourself to whichever ones you like the look of. At each of these events, you’ll meet the members - potential new friends from all walks of life and just like you in wanting to improve their social lives. They will make you feel very welcome as another valued contributor to what makes our events into special occasions to remember for all involved. It's normal to feel a little bit of apprehension about your first meeting, which is something we all have to go through, but after you've broken the ice for the first time, you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about and be eager to put your name down for another event! If you keep attending, you'll recognise people you met at past events and start to grow commonalities and friendships with the people you like. Attending a FFW event by yourself is perfectly fine and it's what many people do. The attendees at events are never the same, and each event consists of a combination of first-timers, seasoned members and everything in between, so there will be other new attendees just like you, and like-minded whatever your situation. We're all like you and looking for opportunities to be sociable, and genuinely hope that you decide to get involved. When you do, we will look forward to meeting you. Months from now you’ll look back on this moment that you took action with a smile, and be really glad you did! It wont cost you anything to join, and there is no commitment to stay on if you attend an event and then decide its not for you. So ask yourself out loud: "What have I got to lose?" And then hit that join button. 😊 Current Events Schedule: \- Saturday October 26th : Leamington Brunch/Coffee/Chat ☕ \- Saturday October 26th : Leamington Halloween Fancy\-Dress Social 🎃 \- Sunday November 17th : \*\* Placeholder for a 7\-mile hike \*\* TBD \- Sunday November 24th : Kenilworth Parks and the Castle \(6/7\-mile loop hike\) 🚶 \- Thursday November 28th : Warwick Victorian Evening & Festival \- Friday November 29th : Leamington Pizza and Social 🍕 \- Friday December 6th : Warwick Town Centre Social "Flash Mob" \- Sunday December 8th : \*\* Placeholder for a 7\-mile hike \*\* TBD \- Saturday December 14th : Leamington All\-Skills Pool and Social \- Sunday December 15th : Leamington Santas Hike for Charity \(7\-mile hike\) 🚶 \- Friday December 20th : Leamington Christmas Jumpers Drinks and Social \- Thursday December 26th : Boxing Day walk through the parks \(2\-to\-3\-mile stroll\) 🚶

Free Meditation Yoga - Leamington Spa & Warwick - Wellbeing
This community group was started in Leamington Spa to invite all those who might be interested in learning to meditate and for those who actually want to achieve Yoga. Many are curious as to what meditation or yoga actually is and what's it all about?  The meetings aim to provide that insight and know how. Yoga is a great way to underpin Health & Wellbeing.

The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a state of yoga, and they are available across London most evenings and throughout the UK. Sahaja Yoga free meditation classes help attendees to achieve a deep state of peace and spiritual awareness in life. Try Sahaja Yoga meditation classes and see for yourself the improvement to your mental, physical and emotional state. Learn and experience…- Simple meditation techniques. Guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation. Tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home. The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing the subtle body. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with no mental activity or thoughts about the past or the future. Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a natural state of being.Through Sahaja Yoga Meditation we all have a way to experience something uniquely blissful inside of us. We provide free tuition and guidance to anyone who is willing to learn and apply techniques of the subtle system: awakening of the kundalini, self realisation, cleaning and balancing chakras. At our meetings everyone can experience the joy of truly deep collective meditation. This is an eternal knowledge for which one cannot pay money. The ultimate goal is to give seekers of truth the knowledge of the self and become their own master through knowing themselves at the deepest level.
