Español abajo 👇 ## ENGLISH VERSION Ever walked into a room full of strangers and thought *"d#\*n, where do I even start"*? 🤔 Yeah. Us too. That's exactly why this exists. 💡 **What's happening:** We get a group of locals, foreigners, travelers, and random interesting humans in one room. Then we play some conversation games. Simple stuff. Cards with questions. Getting people to actually talk to each other instead of standing around pretending to read the bar menu. 🍸 **But here's the thing:** You don't have to be fluent. You don't need to be outgoing. You can literally show up alone, stand in a corner, and still leave with a new contact in your phone. 📱 No forced networking. No "let me tell you about my startup" Just conversations. Real ones. ✨ **Who comes:** People who moved here and don't know anyone. People who speak three languages and want to practice a fourth. Travelers killing time before their next flight. Locals curious about what's happening in their city. 🌍 Basically: everyone who's tired of the same old bar scene. **The details:** 📍 Sabores Puros — inside Sileo Hotel Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta 🕕 Saturday \| 18:00 – 20:00 🎟 **Entry:** $5.000 Come solo. Leave with stories. *Or don't. No one will notice.* 🤷 Follow us on Instagram: [https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy](https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy) *** ## VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL ¿Alguna vez entraste a un cuarto lleno de estranjeros y pensaste *"m·#\*da, por dónde empiezo"*? 🤔 Sí. Nosotros también. Por eso existe esto. 💡 **Qué pasa:** Juntamos un grupo de locales, extranjeros, viajeros y humanos interesantes random en un cuarto. Después jugamos algunos juegos de conversación. Cosas simples. Cartas con preguntas. Haciendo que la gente realmente hable entre sí en lugar de pararse alrededor fingiendo leer el menú del bar. 🍸 **Pero aquí está lo bueno:** No tienes que ser fluido. No necesitas ser extrovertido. Literalmente puedes llegar solo, pararte en una esquina, y aún así irte con un nuevo contacto en tu teléfono. 📱 Sin networking forzado. Sin "déjame contarte sobre mi startup" Solo conversaciones. Reales. ✨ **Quién viene:** Gente que se mudó aquí y no conoce a nadie. Gente que habla tres idiomas y quiere practicar un cuarto. Viajeros matando tiempo antes de su siguiente vuelo. Locales curiosos sobre qué está pasando en su ciudad. 🌍 Básicamente: todos los que están hartos de la misma escena de siempre. **Los detalles:** 📍 Sabores Puros — Sileo Hotel Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta 🕕 Sábado \| 18:00 – 20:00 🎟 **Entrada:** $5.000 Ven solo. Vete con historias. *O no. Nadie se va a dar cuenta.* 🤷 Seguinos en Instagram: [https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy](https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy)

En este encuentro trabajaremos con **conversaciones reales**, de esas que a veces evitamos, postergamos o atravesamos con tensión. Es un espacio de **práctica colectiva**, donde miramos **cómo hablamos, cómo escuchamos y qué efecto tienen nuestras palabras**. **✅¿Cómo será el encuentro?** * Trabajo en grupo * Casos reales aportados por los participantes * Sin juicios, sin consejos rápidos, sin recetas La propuesta es **entrenar la mirada**: detectar qué acerca y qué aleja en una conversación, y qué nos pasa cuando la compasión se pierde. **✅¿Para quién es?** * Personas que atraviesan conversaciones difíciles en su vida personal o laboral. * Líderes, profesionales, emprendedores o cualquier persona interesada en comunicarse mejor. 👉🏼**Valor:** * Miembros **Meetup**: **$6,000 ✅** * Miembros **Club de Liderazgo**: $4,000 (únete en [club.exoliderazgo.com](club.exoliderazgo.com)) *\*El valor incluye acceso al encuentro.

Most people visit San Telmo. Very few actually see it. This Saturday: a 3-hour curated art walk through San Telmo and La Boca, led by a Buenos Aires art and culture expert. We cover the places collectors know and tourists walk past. —————————————————————————— THE CIRCUIT → Mercado de San Telmo (1897) Not just a market. The iron-and-glass structure hides one of the best concentrations of antique dealers and independent art vendors in the city. → El Zanjón de Granados Underground tunnels from the 1730s — discovered by accident during a restaurant renovation in 1985. One of Buenos Aires' best-kept secrets. Not in most guidebooks. → Bar El Federal (since 1864) One of the last surviving traditional bars in Buenos Aires with original fixtures. A coffee here costs the same as anywhere. The atmosphere doesn't. → Pasaje San Lorenzo The narrowest street in Buenos Aires (2.07m wide). Next to it: the Casa Mínima — a facade donated to an emancipated slave. One of the most human stories in the city's history. → Street mural circuit Buenos Aires has one of the highest concentrations of outdoor murals per capita globally. We read them as a gallery, not a backdrop. → Fundación PROA (La Boca) One of Latin America's most important contemporary art foundations. Current exhibition + rooftop terrace over the Riachuelo. → Caminito The iconic coloured street of La Boca. The circuit ends here. —————————————————————————— PRACTICAL INFO Meeting point: Mercado de San Telmo — main entrance, Defensa 961 (corner Carlos Calvo). Be there at 09:55 AM. Date: Saturday 6 June · 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM Capacity: 12 people maximum. Small group only. Weather: June in BA is 12–17°C. Light jacket + comfortable shoes. Payment to confirm your spot: ARS 29,000 (\~€20 / \~USD 22) Pay here → https://mpago.la/2AgiADF RSVP on Meetup + payment = confirmed spot. The walk goes ahead rain or shine. Full refund if we cancel. Questions? WhatsApp: +54 9 11 3236-8096 —————————————————————————— ABOUT YOUR GUIDE Bruno Piccolo is an international business strategist and the founder of Bellon OÜ, a digital asset company operating from Estonia. He designs the systems that make these experiences possible — and occasionally joins the circuit when the conversation calls for it. Together they created Buenos Aires Art Outings: curated experiences for people who want to understand a city, not just photograph it. This is not a tourist tour. It's a curated circuit.

Give it a try!” - *Brenda* 🗣 "It’s a wonderful experience, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours.
