Una serata semplice e conviviale per incontrarsi, bere qualcosa insieme e raccontare un progetto di vacanza creativa che prenderà vita in Puglia dal 10 al 16 agosto. Tra masserie, trulli, mare e paesaggi della Valle d’Itria, nascerà una settimana dedicata al teatro, al movimento espressivo, alla musica, alla relazione e alla condivisione. Non una vacanza turistica tradizionale, ma un’esperienza immersiva fatta di pratiche artistiche accessibili a tutti, incontri umani, convivialità e tempo vissuto insieme. Durante la serata racconteremo: • come nasce il progetto “Incursioni Artistiche” • l’atmosfera della vacanza creativa • le attività previste • il luogo che ci ospiterà • il senso di vivere un Ferragosto diverso, più autentico e condiviso L’incontro è aperto anche a chi è semplicemente curioso e vuole conoscere nuove persone interessate all’arte, al viaggio e alla creatività. Ognuno paga liberamente la propria consumazione. Libreria Bistrot Gli esploratori, via Trionfale 88, 00195 Roma (Metro A Cipro; Metro A Ottaviano San Pietro)

## Un format che invita ad andare oltre la copertina delle persone, delle storie, dei luoghi (comuni), e creare relazioni di valore. Dopo il successo dell’evento realizzato a settembre, nel corso della Rome Future Week, prosegue la collaborazione fra ReadMeet e TuSai. Questa volta l’appuntamento è alla libreria caffè letterario Mangiaparole, uno dei luoghi storici della vita culturale romana, nel pieno del quartiere Appio Latino, a due passi dal cinema Trianon e dalla fermata Furio Camillo della metro. Da un lato **Readmeet**, un’app di incontri e networking di valore che utilizza i libri invece delle foto per costruire match e relazioni, non soltanto d’amore ma anche di amicizia. Basata su una logica da Community, ha al suo interno anche canali social dedicati ad argomenti legati ai libri, alle relazioni d’amore e alla lettura. Nel canale YouTube sono disponibili videointerviste agli scrittori più amati e di successo. Dall’altro **TuSai**, il progetto internazionale ESG di sostenibilità sociale olistica che ha al centro il benessere delle persone e che propone percorsi e workshop che integrano l’arte, la mindfulness e la condivisione orizzontale tra i partecipanti. **Il 31 maggio TuSai e Readmeet fanno “match” negli spazio della Libreria Caffè Letterario Mangiaparole in via Manlio Capitolino 7/9 a pochi passi passi dalla Stazione M Furio Camillo.** Ancora una volta fulcro dell’attività sarà un workshop esperienziale firmata TuSai, creato per chi non si accontenta di uno swipe sul cellulare ma crede nel valore delle interazioni umane. In un tempo in cui si cerca di conoscersi in pochi secondi, “Conoscersi tra le Righe” invita ad attivare creatività e ascolto personale per leggere (e lasciarsi leggere), tra le righe. Evento gratuito, Prenotazioni obbligatoria, posti limitati [https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/readmeet/](https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/readmeet/) ## Cosa faremo insieme: Guidati dalla metodologia creativa di **TuSai**, i *Meeters* avranno modo di conoscere sé stessi e gli altri tramite il gioco e la lettura, e prenderanno parte ad un workshop esperienziale che vuole fa cambiare prospettiva sul dating. * **Creatività, letture condivise, pratiche di presenza e momenti di dialogo reale.** Una serata diversa, in cui, tramite disegni e colori, si prenderà contatto con le proprie emozioni e la fantasia dei libri per dar forma ad un linguaggio universale: quello dell’empatia, dell’ascolto profondo e di un sentire condiviso che sorprende a ogni incontro. * **Incontri & Networking di alto valore.** Per un’esperienza immersiva che va oltre lo swipe, oltre i luoghi comuni, oltre le prime impressioni. * **Introspezione e relazione:** un’esperienza relazionale e trasformativa, dove ogni pagina è un pretesto per raccontarsi, e ogni incontro un potenziale specchio di ciò che conosci, sai…e sei. * **Libri, libri, ed ancora libri.** Ad ogni partecipante sarà proposto di pensare ad un libro che lo/la rappresenta: il resto si scriverà insieme. ##### **E non finisce qui…** Scopri di più e prenotati GRATIS a questo link, i posti sono limitati !

Nella vita di ogni persona accadono delle coincidenze particolari. Questo evento si rivolge a coloro che sono curiosi di conoscere storie di coincidenze affascinanti e spesso miracolose. Avremo a disposizione dei libri che raccolgono decine di storie VERE di coincidenze. Sceglierò per voi le più belle. Tranquilli, nessuna noia: si leggono in 3 minuti ciascuna! Anche io racconterò le mie esperienze (non a caso ne sono molto appassionato) e daro' dei suggerimenti per avere qualche vantaggio. Ogni partecipante se vuole potrà farlo. L' evento non ha scopo né di lucro né di vendita libri.Di solito possiamo occupare gratuitamente il tavolo della caffetteria; a volte basta consumare un semplice caffè. (* Può sembrare una iniziativa strana, ma già anni fa il direttore di Rai notte Gabriele La Porta raccoglieva le esperienze dei telespettatori, molte delle quali ha poi pubblicato in un libro).

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.

On a list of "My Favorite Things", few people would put a "break up" in their top ten. More often, these words evoke feelings of shame, embarrassment, poor choices, and bad or sad endings. Before the new and beautiful can be built, the old, broken, and unnecessary must be cleared away. This process can be painful, but it is good, needful, and can produce wonderful results when done wisely and well. How does one break free from anxiety, comparison, or shame? Christian Bevere points people to the freedom God desires for His children, as well as giving practical ideas on how to shed both unhealthy baggage and the lies that seek to leave us anchored to past failure. Drawing from the Bible, ***Break Up With What Broke You*** clearly shows that what Satan would seek to use for evil, God uses for good and to accomplish His purposes. Join us **Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 6:30 pm**, when we gather at **True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**. We'd love to see you there!

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.
