**Un sabato diverso prima di uscire a cena -** **Porta un libro che ti ha aiutato/a a stare meglio.** Metti un segnalibro sulla pagina che ti ha cambiato qualcosa. Non dire quale. Non dire perché. **È tipo un book club con il turbo. È qualcosa di più bello.** È scoprire cosa aiuta le persone a stare bene — e cosa potrebbe far stare meglio anche te. Con una pillola pratica su come portare quel concetto nelle tue relazioni reali. **Cosa portare:** un libro che ti ha fatto stare meglio con un segnalibro che indica un passaggio che può far stare bene anche qualcun altro, in qualsiasi ambito della vita; voglia di leggere e di stare bene; una copertina o un telo. Preparati a leggere in silenzio. Alla fine, se vorrai, ci sarà un momento di condivisione: porta qualcosa da bere e/o da mangiare. **Dove:** Villa Pamphilj — ore 17:30. Riceverai l'indicazione del punto esatto via mail. **Costo: gratuito.** Cos'è l'Atelier delle Relazioni & Strategie Umane? [Clicca qui](https://sites.google.com/view/atelierrelazionieestrategie/)

🔥 **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.

Scoprirete dettagli che sfuggono alla maggior parte dei passanti. * 🌹 **Fiori Alchemici:** Partiremo da un colle legato a un antico culto pagano. **Questo è in assoluto il periodo migliore dell'anno per visitarlo** e ammirarlo nel massimo dello splendore. Tra geometrie sacre, cercheremo una rosa che muta colore e una dall'odore sgradevole. * 👑 **La Terrazza del Colosso:** Da un balcone segreto guarderemo un'opera maestosa alta 13 metri: un imperatore ritratto come un dio con i simboli del dominio assoluto. * 📐 **La Fortezza Storta:** Vedremo davanti a noi una torre medievale inclinata. Sveleremo la bugia storica che la collega al folle incendio imperiale. * 🪨 **Il Balcone dal Passato Oscuro:** Un affaccio romantico che nasconde un'origine tragica. Prende il nome dalla donna che tradì la patria per brama di gioielli, diventando il patibolo più temuto dell'antichità. * ⛓️ **L'Antro dei Prigionieri:** Scenderemo vicino a un sotterraneo nel tufo dove furono reclusi re barbari e santi capaci di far sgorgare acque miracolose. * 🚇 **I Cantieri del Tempo:** Passeremo accanto alle grandi opere moderne che uniscono il futuro della città al suo passato profondo. * 🎬 **Il Giardino degli Sterri:** Concluderemo tra reperti riemersi nell'Ottocento, proprio di fronte al monumento più famoso del mondo. **📌evento gratis,è benvenuto un sostegno per pagare i costi dell'app🙏​** ➡️ La passeggiata inizia al Circo Massimo . distanza **4** 𝙠𝙢, ➡️ Tempo necessario 𝟯 𝙤𝙧𝙚 circa ➡️ Metro B fermata Circo Massimo ➡️ Scarpe comode👣 ➡️ Puntualità 🕘 ➡️Per le ragazze in lista d'attesa, partecipate ugualmente se volete, capita che alla fine ci siano più uomini che donne confermate, cosi manteniamo un buon equilibrio tra ragazzi e ragazze ➡️ Fascia età 35/50 👉Queste passeggiate sono organizzate per socializzare senza scopo di lucro, il contributo richiesto è un semplice rimborso spese, **non c’è alcuna assicurazione infortuni e ognuno partecipa a proprio rischio e pericolo** senza possibilità di richiedere risarcimenti o rimborsi in caso di infortunio o malore. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Many participants in our walks speak English, so don’t worry if your Italian isn’t perfect — everyone is welcome!** An exclusive itinerary through panoramic terraces, medieval enigmas, and underground secrets.

This is absolutely the best time of the year to visit and admire it at the peak of its splendor. Guided by sacred geometries, we will look for a rose that changes color and another with an unpleasant scent. 👑 **The Terrace of the Colossus:** From a secret balcony, we will gaze upon a majestic 13-meter-high masterpiece: an emperor portrayed as a god with the symbols of absolute power. 📐 **The Crooked Fortress:** We will see a leaning medieval tower right before our eyes. We will unveil the historical lie that links it to the mad imperial fire. 🪨 **The Balcony with a Dark Past:** A romantic viewpoint that hides a tragic origin. It takes its name from the woman who betrayed her homeland out of greed for jewelry, becoming the most feared scaffold of antiquity. ⛓️ **The Prisoners' Cave:** We will descend near an underground site carved into the tuff rock, where barbarian kings and saints capable of making miraculous water spring from the walls were once imprisoned. 🚇 **The Construction Sites of Time:** We will pass next to great modern works that connect the city's future to its deep past. 🎬 **The Garden of Excavated Earth:** We will conclude among archaeological finds unearthed in the 19th century, right in front of the most famous monument in the world. **📌 Free event - donations welcome to cover our meetup costs.🙏​** **Important Notes:** **​I am not a tour guide**, This is a walk to meet other people and discover new, generally unknown places. * * ➡️ Estimated time: 3 hours * ➡️ Metro B stop Circo Massimo distance:**4 km** * ➡️ Comfortable shoes * ➡️ Punctuality * ➡️For the girls on the waiting list: feel free to join anyway if you'd like!

They are currently the only commercial ice cream maker using the French Pot method that they’ve been using since they first opened! Plus, those chocolate chunks, oh my goodness! Vegan options are available. PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but Showtime and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.
