Dubai Downtown Book Club | Book: "What's Your Dream?" 📚
Welcome to the **Downtown Dubai Book Discussion Circle (every 2 weeks Tuesday)**.
📚✨ This session is about: "What's Your Dream?" by Simon Squibb
Please only RSVP, if you’re actually planning to **1\. read the whole book before the event** and **2\. join the event on Tuesday**, so our discussions can stay rich, focused, and meaningful for everyone. ✨
-> From experience, we’ve seen that 15 people is the sweet spot for a great conversation: we have a core group of regular attendees (10 people) - and we open up every session for 5 new members, so we are excited to meet you (please join the waiting list, we approve new members manually).
Few Additional Notes to make this a great event:
**Cost**: The event itself is free to attend. You’re simply responsible for covering your own food and drinks at the cafe. 😊
**RSVP**: When signing up for the Dubai Downtown Book Club, please confirm your attendance and kindly update your RSVP if your plans change (so others from the waiting list can join).
This small step makes a big difference in organizing a great session for all.
You will find also upcoming events on our instagram community page: https://www.instagram.com/growhub.global/ and see our regular members in the posts/reels. This is about real human connection and exchange about our favorite books.📚
Nervous System Reset for Anxiety and Stress
Would you like to experience a nervous system reset?
Through sound, vibration, breath, and gentle somatic work, we create conditions that support the nervous system in shifting from states of stress activation into regulation and balance.
From a physiological perspective, these practices help:
→ activate the parasympathetic response
→ support recovery and restoration
→ enhance emotional processing
At PhiloLife, we work through our Vital Coherence Protocol ©, a carefully developed approach designed to support nervous system regulation through sound, breath, and somatic awareness.
While we call it a “reset,” this session is not about a quick fix.
It is about guiding the body back into a state of safety, coherence, and regulation.
This session is different from our usual sound healing experiences.
It is specifically structured to support the nervous system in:
→ releasing accumulated tension patterns
→ restoring internal balance
Led by Dr Joelle Samaha, certified sound healer, founder, and Head of Wellbeing at PhiloLife Wellbeing Education Center.
Join us on the 28th of April at 7:30 PM
at PhiloLife Wellbeing Education Center in Dubai for a Guided Sound Healing Bath, Somatic Breathwork, and Guided Mindfulness
A space to pause.
To soften.
To reconnect with yourself, without pressure.
Energy exchange fee of AED 150 per person.

أوهام العقل - برنلف
الكتاب يتوفر مطبوعا والكترونيا (يرجى متابعة الرابط للتفاصيل)
«يضيف برنلف كثافة كبيرة في سرد هذه الحكاية الرائعة والمروعة إلى درجة أننا نشعر بمرافقة مارتن في تدهوره، ليس كمراقبين، ولكن كمشاركين في مأساته» - أنيتا ديساي، النيويورك تايمز
«يتسرب عقل مارتن، رويدًا رويدًا، ويذوب في النهاية... رواية برنلف عن هذه الرحلة الرهيبة مؤثرة للغاية، ولا يمكنك تحويل انتباهك عنها إطلاقًا» - هارولد بنتر
«رواية صغيرة مرعبة وقوية» - الصنداي تايمز
هذه الرواية الحميمة والمؤثرة عن التدهور الدرامي الذي يعانيه رجل مسن يصاب بمرض الألزهايمر تستمد قوتها من الصوت السردي الفريد والرائع للرجل نفسه. ولهذا السبب ما زالت من أكثر الروايات قراءة في الأدب الهولندي، وبِيع منها أكثر من750 ألف نسخة، وتُرجمت إلى العديد من اللغات، وتحولت إلى فيلم سينمائي.
يعيش السبعيني مارتن كلاين، في البداية، بذهن حاضر، وإن كان مرهقًا، مع زوجته في ماساتشوستس. ولدا في هولندا، وتحملا بصعوبة الاحتلال النازي لها قبل أن يهاجرا إلى الولايات المتحدة، حيث عمل مارتن في منظمة بحرية. في حين أن مارتن اعتبر نفسه لفترة طويلة «شخصية هامشية» اجتماعيًّا، وحياته العائلية غير مبهرة، إلا أن له قدرة متميزة على الملاحظة والإدراك، حتى مع تدهور حالته الصحية. يلاحظ بلا حول ولا قوة: «يبدو أنني أفقد كلماتي مثلما يفقد شخص دمه»، ويقرر: «سأختلق حياةً لنفسي من دقيقة إلى دقيقة وأصدقها»، لكنه في النهاية يصل إلى قناعة أنه «الوحيد الباقي على قيد الحياة من أبناء لغتي».
لقد كتب برنلف رواية قاتمة وعميقة عن الخسارة التي لا رجعة فيها: فقدان الذات، وفقدان اللغة، والعلاقات، والذكريات، ولكن على الرغم من ذلك فإن صوت مارتن في نهاية الرواية يوحي بالأمل.
كتب برنلف (1937-2012) مجموعة كبيرة من الأعمال بما في ذلك القصائد والقصص القصيرة والروايات والمقالات، وترجم الشعراء الإسكندنافيين لارس غوستافسون وتوماس ترانسترومر إلى اللغة الهولندية، وكان محررًا لدوريات أدبية. وحصل على العديد من الجوائز. من أشهر رواياته: «أوهام العقل» التي صدرت عام 1984، باعت أكثر من 750 ألف نسخة وحُوِّلت إلى فيلم روائي طويل وتُرجمت إلى العديد من اللغات.

Philosophy Meetup
Hi and welcome to our philosophy meetup!
Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue?
If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you.
You can also call/msg : [0503551536](https://wa.me/+971503551536)
**What’s This Meetup About?**
We explore big questions and share ideas to spark curiosity and broaden our thinking. The goal? To learn from each other’s perspectives—not to push our own views. This isn’t about quoting famous philosophers or winning debates; it’s about questioning, reflecting, and challenging our own assumptions in an open, respectful space. Success means leaving with more questions than answers!
**What Do We Discuss?**
At each meetup, we vote on a topic—anything from "What’s the purpose of life?" to "Do parallel universes exist?" No philosophy degree needed—just bring your curiosity and a love for thoughtful conversation.

Practical Philosophy Meetup - Dubai 🇦🇪
**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?**
Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎
Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.
The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdjwVxcf2EO6vcLWUhaIdk?mode=ems_copy_c), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.
When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture.
**General Meeting Agenda**
Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline:
* 17:00-17:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start.
* 17:15-17:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines.
* 17:25-18:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them.
* 18:45-19:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo.
* 19:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other.
**🧧PRICING?**
Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though!
**💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY**
**🗣** “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam
🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel
**🤓 FAQ**
* **What will we talk about? What's the topic?**
The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdjwVxcf2EO6vcLWUhaIdk?mode=ems_copy_c).
* **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?**
No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required.
* **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?**
The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school.
* **Is it mostly men that attend?**
Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms.
* **Can I come alone?**
Of course you can, we encourage it :)
* **Can I be late?**
Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation.
* **Where do you meet?**
The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdjwVxcf2EO6vcLWUhaIdk?mode=ems_copy_c) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/).
🤝**POLICY**
To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment.
**PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY CLUB - Making Philosophy Available To All ✨**
Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in over 20 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️

Canvas and Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings
*Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings*
**Fee:** AED 30
**Duration:** 2 hours
**Format:** Two paintings, one per hour — deep group discussion follows each
What happens when philosophy meets paint and canvas?
Welcome to **Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings**, a unique gathering where we explore the profound connection between visual art and the human experience. Each session, we’ll sit with two powerful artworks — not to critique them like art historians, but to let them speak to our minds and souls.
You'll be surprised by the range of interpretations one painting can evoke — where one person sees despair, another may find hope; where one sees chaos, another finds divine order. This is a space for meaningful, respectful conversation that opens us up to new perspectives and helps us see more — in the art, and in ourselves.
Whether you're a philosopher at heart, an artist in spirit, or simply curious about how we see and feel, this event offers a space to slow down, look deeply, and think together.
**Come with an open mind, leave with new eyes.**

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Wouldn’t it be nice to stop the wild roller coaster ride for good? Or at least make it a fun roller coaster ride, with more ups and downs.
There is a hidden factor that will be going over and you’re going to be quite surprised what it is and how much it affects your life.

This group is hosted at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.

**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
