Cómo la respiración puede ayudarte a regularte, escucharte y empezar un cambio profundo a través del trabajo corporal. **DESCRIPCIÓN DEL EVENTO:** ¿sabes cómo respiras y cómo influye en tu vida? La respiración como herramienta corporal para regularte y transformarte. La respiración es mucho más que una función automática o inconsciente del organismo: es una vía directa de contacto con lo que sentimos y de cómo estamos en el mundo. En esta charla exploraremos cómo la forma en que respiramos influye en nuestro estado emocional, en nuestro nivel de tensión y en nuestra capacidad para estar presentes. Es importante saber cómo respiro, cómo es mi propio patrón respiratorio. Entender cómo es una forma apropiada de respirar y reconocer mi estructura anatómica y funcional. Asumir una cierta responsabilidad y concienciación diaria de la propia ventilación. Practicar técnicas respiratorias junto con el desbloqueo de la tensión corporal para recuperar una respiración funcional y una cierta coherencia en cómo es mi forma de vivir. Todo esto va a impactar e influenciar en la gran mayoría de los sistemas del organismo. La respiración se convierte entonces en una herramienta de regulación y también de autoconocimiento. Se formularán propuestas y mostrarán metodologías para mejorar la respiración y que sea más eficiente, libre y orgánica. También se facilitará una invitación a sentir, a parar y a habitar el propio cuerpo. Lo que se presenta aquí es una introducción a un trabajo respiratorio y corporal más amplio. Un primer paso para quienes sienten que la respiración y el cuerpo tiene algo importante que decir. Y también una puerta de entrada a procesos terapéuticos más profundos, tanto en formato grupal como individual. **Sobre Guillermo Mazariegos:** Terapeuta Corporal Integrativo, Gestalt y Transpersonal.

Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need. Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture. *City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film. If you want more, *Unknown Chaplin* is a three-episode lost-footage documentary available on Youtube. It covers his time on *City Lights* beginning at the twenty-six minute mark of episode two: https://youtu.be/f8960Uc15hI?t=1558

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride!
