Breathwork
El Breathwork es una práctica de respiración activa y consciente que nos invita a entrar en un estado profundo de conexión con el cuerpo, las emociones y la energía vital.
En esta sesión vamos a trabajar a través de un patrón de respiración específico que permite liberar tensiones acumuladas, desbloquear emociones estancadas y expandir la conciencia. La respiración se convierte en un puente: entre lo que sentimos y lo que muchas veces no podemos expresar con palabras.
La propuesta es abrir un espacio seguro y contenido donde puedas entregarte al proceso, soltar el control mental y permitir que el cuerpo guíe la experiencia. Acompañaremos con música, guía verbal y momentos de integración para sostener todo lo que emerja.
Durante la sesión pueden aparecer sensaciones físicas, emociones profundas, memorias o estados de claridad y expansión. Todo es bienvenido: no hay nada que “hacer bien”, solo respirar y dejar que el proceso suceda.
Beneficios de la práctica:
– Liberación emocional y reducción del estrés
– Mayor claridad mental y enfoque
– Regulación del sistema nervioso
– Conexión profunda con el cuerpo y la energía
– Sensación de liviandad, apertura y bienestar
– Activación de la energía vital (prana)
Es una invitación a volver a vos, a través de algo tan simple y poderoso como tu respiración.

Valor del encuentro: $30.000

Cultural Crossroads in the Park
Join us every other Sunday at Parque Las Heras in Palermo for Cultural Crossroads in the Park, a fun and inclusive meetup led by Dr. Zachary McKinley, a cultural researcher from the USA.
Kicking off at 3:00 pm with 30 minutes of casual networking, this gathering invites you to grab a coffee or mate beforehand and connect with fellow participants. At 3:30, Dr. McKinley will guide a 1.5-hour collaborative group discussion exploring cultural dimensions and their profound influence on thoughts, behaviors, perceptions, and communication styles across borders.
Whether you're a local, an expat, or just curious about the richness of cultural diversity, this event is your opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and broaden your understanding of the world. All are welcome; however, **the conversation will be entirely in English**, as the host does not speak fluent Spanish.
Note: To stay safe and hydrated, please bring bug spray, sunscreen/hat, and something to drink (such as mate/coffee/tea/etc.). A blanket to sit on is recommended but not required.

You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance".
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup (4th Tues)
