🔥 **LA RIVOLUZIONE INTERIORE: Il tuo primo atto di resilienza** **…“Viviamo in un mondo dove siamo tutti interconnessi, e quindi il bene o il male che facciamo a un altro finiamo per farlo a noi stessi. Bisogna quindi imparare a cooperare invece di competere indiscriminatamente. E se non ora quando?”... Federico Faggin** **Perché farlo:** Difronte alla **disintegrazione e al cinismo** la nostra risposta è **una rivoluzione interiore** che si esprime in **solidarietà e resistenza nonviolenta.** Qui alleniamo **azioni valide,** quelle che rafforzano l’unità interna e riducono contraddizione e sofferenza, dentro e fuori di noi. ### **🌱 IL NOSTRO PERCORSO SETTIMANALE è l'allenamento per la Doppia Rivoluzione: Interna e del mondo che ci circonda.** * **Pratiche di consapevolezza:** Impariamo a connetterci con la parte più vera e profonda di noi. * **Autoconoscenza:** Conosci te stesso, fai **pace** con il passato, **trasforma** il presente**, costruisci il futuro**. Qui rompiamo le catene della paura e della violenza che ci tengono bloccati. 🫂 **LA FORZA NELL'UNIONE: si cresce insieme!** * **RELAZIONI AUTENTICHE:** Spazi di ascolto sincero, condivisione e mutuo sostegno. **Non c’è rivoluzione senza comunità.** Ci alleniamo a compiere azioni che rafforzano l’unità e riducono la contraddizione, dentro e fuori di noi. * **PROGETTAZIONE E AZIONE SOLIDALE:** La nostra consapevolezza interiore si trasforma in **azione nonviolenta e solidale**. Insieme pensiamo e costruiamo iniziative concrete e comunità che sfidano la logica del potere e del consumo, riportando l'essere umano al centro. ### **Cosa troverai qui** * **Un cammino,** non un corso da seguire. Non si viene solo a “prendere”: qui si cresce insieme. **La Regola d’Oro come bussola etica.** * Un contesto del tutto non-confessionale e aperto a ogni forma di ateismo, spiritualità e provenienza religiosa. * **Un ambiente libero** dove puoi crescere davvero, uno spazio in cui crescano la gentilezza, il buon umore e la sincerità interiore. * **Persone con cui praticare, dialogare, fare nuove esperienze, condividere momenti di festa e di silenzio.** **🚫 Cosa NON è** * **❌ Non è psicoterapia** *** ### **🔄 Come partecipare** **Ci incontriamo ogni settimana a Roma e online.** **COME PRENOTARE: se interessati, oltre a segnarvi nell'evento, è FONDAMENTALE PRENOTARSI SU TELEGRAM o WHATSAPP al +393461476543** **POSTI: 20 (RSVP obbligatorio)** **QUANDO si svolge**: tutti i sabato dalle ore 11,00 alle 13,00. **A CHI E' RIVOLTO**: **a giovani fino a 30 anni di età.** **GLI EVENTI SONO GRATUITI**: tutte le attività sono gratuite, ma si richiede, dopo il primo incontro di prova, un contributo annuale di 20€ per coprire le spese per i materiali, i social, la sala e spese varie. **COSA PORTARE:** curiosità, rispetto, un quaderno dove annotare le difficoltà e i progressi. Questo sarà il vostro vero libro di bordo. Inoltre è consigliato indossare un abbigliamento comodo. **IL LUOGO**: Oxygene - Via san Tommaso D’Aquino 11a **Prenota ora il tuo posto, non rimandare.** **ACCADEMIA DELLA BUONA CONOSCENZA – Roma**

*Un workshop gratuito con il metodo LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® per riflettere insieme e confrontarci su come gestire il mio tempo privato e lavorativo: Abitudini, rischi, prospettive* Il laboratorio sarà dedicato a esplorare il modo in cui ciascuno di noi gestisce il rapporto tra vita privata e lavoro. Attraverso costruzione e condivisione i partecipanti saranno accompagnati a riconoscere abitudini, bisogni e priorità personali, mettendo in luce rischi e opportunità delle diverse modalità organizzative. **Sul metodo LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®** È una metodologia che favorisce la riflessione, la comunicazione, il problem-solving e il decision-making; attraverso l’utilizzo dei mattoncini LEGO®, è in grado di coinvolgere i partecipanti nella costruzione di cose/modelli che rappresentano metaforicamente i loro pensieri, le loro conoscenze, le loro capacità. Un approccio capace di affrontare e risolvere problemi complessi e a sbloccare le menti, spingendo i partecipanti ad abbandonare la propria zona di comfort, introdurre elementi di discontinuità, a confrontarsi in modo aperto e costruttivo con gli altri. Facilita il workshop Cristina Polidori **Cristina Polidori** Porto in azienda strategie formative didattiche e a scuola tecniche formative aziendali. Mi occupo di crescita e consapevolezza, perché credo che la formazione sia lo strumento più potente per vivere autenticamente, a qualsiasi età. Progetto percorsi di sviluppo personale e professionale, perché desidero contribuire a creare persone libere di scegliere, capaci di comprendere sé stesse e gli altri, pronte a immaginare e costruire il futuro. Sperimento dinamiche formative che allenino assertività, gratitudine e visione, perché chi si forma diventa esempio e genera benessere nei team, nelle famiglie, nelle organizzazioni. Credo nel cambiamento consapevole, perché quando una persona modifica il proprio approccio, non trasforma solo la propria vita: trasforma anche quella di chi le sta accanto.

Domenica mattina, alle 11, nel verde di Villa Torlonia, ci prendiamo un’ora. Un’ora per rallentare il ritmo della settimana, rientrare nel corpo, respirare con più attenzione. Inizieremo con una pratica di yoga accessibile, per sciogliere tensioni e ritrovare presenza, e lasceremo poi spazio alla meditazione, senza forzature, senza aspettative. Non serve esperienza, non serve “saper fare”. Basta arrivare. Il contributo è di 10€. Porta con te un tappetino e qualcosa di semplice ma essenziale: disponibilità a fermarti, anche solo per un momento. Ci vediamo lì!

Join us for an **online discussion** of *Persepolis* by Marjane Satrapi (2000–2003).

For this session, we’ll be opening up to a **maximum of 20 participants** to make the most of the virtual setting while still keeping the discussion engaging and inclusive. **IMPORTANT DETAILS** * By signing up, you are expressing a genuine intention to attend. We understand that things can change, but we kindly ask you to be considerate of others and only reserve a spot if you plan to join. * This is a shared discussion space, and we welcome participants from different countries, backgrounds, and cultural contexts.

Learn more about Unity of Columbus at www.unityofcolumbus.org or call (614) 267-4959. Together we can extend compassion, dignity, and support to our community. 💛

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
