A 50 anni dalla sua morte, sono lieto di invitarvi al tour "PASOLINI CORSARO", che ci sarà martedì 28 Dicembre, dalle 14:15 alle 17:00 (ca). Inizia davanti al "Caffè Letterario" di Via Ostiense 95 e finisce all'Eur. Passando per alcuni dei luoghi emblematici da lui frequentati e di cui ha parlato in alcuni dei suoi libri, finiremo per conoscere uno dei posti più importanti dove è vissuto Pier Paolo Pasolini a Roma e dove ha passato la sua ultima notte, prima di venire ucciso all'Idroscalo di Ostia. Il tour filosofico è una pratica di riflessione collettiva, un modo per pensare insieme, e non solo una maniera di conoscere la storia di Roma e dei pensatori che l' hanno vissuta. L' antica pratica peripatetica, rinnovata e riadattata all' epoca contemporanea. Non una semplice visita guidata, ma un incontro per riflettere insieme al pensatore oggetto del tour. In questo caso su alcune delle sue tesi "corsare" espresse chiaramente in diversi articoli degli anni '70. I costi del tour sono 15 euro + un biglietto della metro + 2 euro per auricolari per il tour. Grazie di cuore per poterlo fare circolare! Per prenotazioni e ulteriori informazioni : Emanuele Profumi, +3388716566 / emanueleprofumi@filosofialavoro.com

**No pressure, no plan—just new friends** ✨ Whether you’re visiting Rome for the first time, recently relocated, or simply love connecting with curious people, this weekly meetup is the perfect way to share stories, make friends, and go explore, as a group, the magic that Rome has to offer 🇮🇹 **What to expect?** • **Casual & hostless**: no formal host, no schedule: just show up, be yourself, meet fellow solo travellers & expats and decide as a group where you feel like going • **Central meeting point**: it is surrounded by cultural landmarks, cafes, and restaurants, making it a convenient and safe starting point. • **Open to everyone**: whether you are a local, an expat or just passing through for a few days, you are welcome to join. (English is the primary language, but feel free to switch of course) **How to talk with strangers?** (and create meaningful connections) To help you get started, I curated a little game of **[ridiculously good questions](https://www.pierrebonvalot.com/theblog?p=285a9711d7df80d5ac25dd4ef8fe5394&pm=c)** you can ask to break the ice, shift the conversation from dull to intriguing and fun, and eventually create meaningful connection quickly. I hope this helps! **The only things you need to do are…** • Leave a message in the comment section to let the others know that you will actually be there (I don’t want you to end up alone there :) • If you can’t make it anymore, no problem! But please update your RSVP to let the others know • Please be gentle and patient with each other. We all want to make good friends here. **Why join?** • Meet open-minded travellers and locals who are keen to connect, learn and have fun together. • Experience Rome... as a group. • Be part of a global community that celebrates solo travelling and meaningful connections between foreign and locals. **How does it works?** 1\. Arrive at the meeting spot at the scheduled time\. 2\. Look for other joiners—friendly faces and curious explorers\. 3\. Introduce yourself\, connect with others\, and decide as a group where to go\. **When & where?** • Day: every Sunday • Time: 4:00 PM (meetup sometimes displays a different time zone: but it’s always 4pm local time) • Location: in front of the statue at Guglia di Pio IX **Hostless**: I am setting up the event for you all to meet, but I won't be there myself this time :) **Hi my names is Pierre** I created this Meetup group because I want to see more human connection happen in the real world. I feel many of us want this, but don't exactly know how to go about it. I hope this helps a little bit. I also work as a transformational coach: I help people who feel stuck in their life to reconnect with themselves, create real change and ultimately live more fulfilling lives. 🔗 bento.me/pierrebonvalot

**Coworking for writers in Rome!** Join us for some focused writing time at [casadante](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gA6w2J8cD36giNF38?g_st=ic) near Piazza Vittorio Emanuele in Esquilino. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in Rome. When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, we will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries! **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In 2013, in collaboration with Irish colleagues, she founded *The Ireland Project*, an intercontinental devised theatre work with high school students in New York and Tallaght, Ireland. Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular. Food and drinks will be provided at the event.
