**[Don't forget to join our community whatsapp group for latest updates!](https://linkshield.co/214)** The Art of Seduction 🖤 My heels class is called the art of seduction because it is so much more than just a heels class, I am building a community of like minded women, who want to learn how to express their unique sensuality. After 20+ years of studying dance and years of studying acting, burlesque, and psychology. I have created a class that combines all of these methodologies into helping women express themselves and step into their power. In this class you will be learning choreography and you will have a chance to perform and make a professional video at the end of the series. I will be teaching you how to find your unique expression of sensuality, technique from multiple styles of dance including ballet to help you dance more comfortably in heels, body movement, proper form for maximum flexibility, and how to create stage presence and character. I’m so excited to open this class here in Barcelona after years of teaching in Los Angeles. **What to bring?** I recommend everyone bring a journal because I want us to write about our experience so we can see the growth not just in our dance but in ourselves. I also recommend bringing heels with an ankle strap so they don’t fall off when you dance. But you are welcome to learn this style of dance in any shoes you feel comfortable in, or even socks. As for what clothes to wear I recommend wearing whatever makes you feel sexiest but does not restrict movement. Entree for the class is 7 euro paid at the entrance. More info follow @devonkatrina

Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café 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. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

¿Cuál es la relación entre los filósofos y la ciudad de Barcelona? ¿Cómo pasaron por ella? ¿Qué reflexiones han surgido de su encuentro y cuáles siguen ocultas en los callejones de la ciudad? Como hacían los filósofos peripatéticos, la reflexión se desarrollará también en movimiento. En cada etapa, un filósofo y una idea permitirán que se desplieguen las ideas sobre la idea de ciudad. De hecho, el hilo conductor del recorrido es la propia idea de «ciudad». Será un pensar caminando, un cuestionar conociendo. El "Tour" es una experiencia colectiva de diálogo filosófico apta para tod@s, tanto para l@s que conocen bien la filosofía como para l@s que no la conocen en absoluto. Para todas las edades y perspectivas. El recorrido dura alrededor de 1 hora y 45 minutos. Al finalizar, podrás realizar un aporte libre, de acuerdo con lo que consideres que ha valido la experiencia. ¿Qué esperas para animarte a vivir esta nueva practica filosófica? CÓMO PARTICIPAR 1.

La Sandra i el Mateo estan casats “sobre el paper”: ella és de Barcelona i ell, xilè. El seu matrimoni neix d’un pacte d’amistat per protegir-se d’un sistema que els aboca a la precarietat i a les lleis injustes. Van fer aquest pacte d’honor. I ho van fer per amor. Però sostenir aquesta ficció acaba posant en risc allò més fràgil: el seu vincle. Quan, després d’un temps distanciats, la Sandra li demana un favor èticament qüestionable, tots dos es veuen obligats a encarar preguntes incòmodes sobre el deute, la responsabilitat i el sentit de la seva relació.
