Pen Collecting

📖✨ Vi invito a un viaggio speciale nel cuore di Roma sulle tracce di Marco Aurelio. 🗓 Lunedì 6 Aprile 🕡 18:00 – 20:00 (ritrovo alle 17:45 davanti alla Statua di San Francesco) 📍 Dalla Basilica dei Santi Cosma e Damiano sino a Castel Sant Angelo 🚶‍♂️ MARCO AURELIO, I PENSIERI DELL'IMPERATORE STOICO non è una semplice visita guidata: è un tour filosofico, un cammino peripatetico che unisce riflessione collettiva, luoghi emblematici e la filosofia storica di uno dei protagonisti di questa scuola di pensiero. Ripercorreremo alcuni dei posti che ha vissuto, in compagnia delle sue parole e della sua filosofia, sulla scia di questioni ancora oggi molto attuali, da comprendere e discutere insieme. 💡 Non solo storia, ma un’occasione per pensare insieme, mettendo in dialogo il passato e il presente attraverso le idee di un pensatore che ha fatto la Storia. 🎟 Costo: 15€ + 2€ per auricolari. 📲 Prenotazioni & info: Emanuele Profumi 📞 3388716566 📧 emanueleprofumi@filosofialavoro.com

Marco Lo Muscio, direttore della Casa Museo Wunderkammer, accompagnerà i partecipanti alla scoperta delle simbologie nascoste del quartiere: api, leoni, aquile, arieti, rane, grifoni, cavalieri, elementi alchemici e massonici che rendono il Coppedè unico in Europa.

Hello 👋 I created this community to bring together remote workers based in Rome: freelancers, full-time remote employees, digital nomads, or anyone working remotely who wants to connect in real life. The idea is simple: organize coworking days share cool in-person events to join and mostly build real connections, not just virtual/working ones. Let’s keep it informal and see where this takes us.

**We are expanding our creative programming opportunities with Queer Quills, a quiet writing and sharing space. Queer Quills features some prompts, supplies and friendly faces to help get some inspiration or feedback for your writing. Hope to see you there!**

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros. 10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Saturday!
