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? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method) 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.

*Com vaig aprendre a conduir* va rebre el Premi Pulitzer 1998 i el Premi Tony en la seva reestrena de 2022. Una dona guarda un secret que, després d’anys de silenci, està a punt de revelar. Coseta –malnom que es va guanyar a l’instant de néixer, definida pel seu sexe– ens guia en un viatge emocional a través de les corbes de la memòria: al seient d’un cotxe, al menjador de casa, als passadissos de l’institut, allà on la seva educació afectiva i sexual es va construint, deformada per la visió misògina i sexualitzada del seu entorn. Amb una estructura fragmentada i esquitxada d’humor i cançons, *Com vaig aprendre a conduir,* reconstrueix els moments clau de la complexa relació de la protagonista amb el seu oncle Peck, en la qual es va teixint la teranyina subtil i perversa de l’abús disfressat d’afecte. Autoria: **[Paula Vogel](https://www.salabeckett.cat/membre/paula/)** Traducció: **[Helena Tornero](https://www.salabeckett.cat/membre/helena-tornero/)** Direcció: **Marilia Samper** Repartiment: **Mireia Aixalà, Ivan Benet, Alba Gallén, Blai Juanet Sanagustin** i **Kathy Sey** Escenografia: **Sebastià Brosa** i **Paula Bosch** Una producció de la Sala Beckett Duració: 1h 50m Preu D'11 € a 22 € Promoció abans de l'estrena: 50% de descompte per a les primeres funcions (Limitada a 50 entrades/funció) Enllaç a venda d'entrades: https://salabeckett.koobin.cat/com-vaig-apendre-a-conduir-040226-2000 NOTES IMPORTANTS: * Cada participant gestiona la compra de la seva entrada. * Només ha d'indicar RSVP = "Sí" qui ja hagi adquirit o reservat la seva entrada. Si us plau, no us apunteu si no la teniu, perquè altrament ens complica determinar el quòrum real. * Us recordem que aquest grup no té cap interès comercial, és una simple trobada d'aficionats, apassionats, addictes i bojos pel teatre. * En acabada la funció, ens quedarem al bar de la Beckett per fer-hi un mos o un beure i comentar l'obra. Amb l'antelació suficient abans obrirem llista per saber quants llocs a taula cal reservar.

SI US PLAU, CONTACTA AMB MI ABANS DE VENIR: Anna: 651314706 Instagram: @cercleahimsa **Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar.** Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar... El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística. Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau. Instagram: @cercleahimsa

**Vivimos en una era de estímulos constantes: redes sociales, gratificación inmediata, consumo compulsivo, procrastinación y falta de enfoque. Todo ello tiene un denominador común: una mala gestión de la dopamina.** *En este evento descubrirás por qué, aun sabiendo lo que te conviene, terminas repitiendo conductas que te alejan de tus objetivos. No se trata de fuerza de voluntad, sino de entender cómo funciona tu sistema de recompensa y aprender a regularlo de forma consciente.* Durante la sesión aprenderás: * *Qué es la dopamina y cómo influye directamente en tu motivación, disciplina y toma de decisiones.* * *Por qué el exceso de estímulos genera impulsividad, apatía y pérdida de enfoque.* * *La relación entre dopamina, procrastinación y autosabotaje.* * *Estrategias prácticas para recuperar el control de tus hábitos y tu atención.* * *Cómo entrenar tu mente para priorizar lo importante frente a lo urgente.* Este evento está dirigido a personas que sienten que viven reaccionando, que les cuesta mantener hábitos saludables, sostener la constancia o cumplir sus objetivos personales y profesionales. ***Coste: 5 euros*** *(para pago sala y gastos organización). Sólo en efectivo (monedas o billetes pequeños ). **No Bizum**.*

¡Hola! :) Te invito a una práctica de **yoga consciente**, donde el movimiento, la respiración y la presencia se unen para equilibrar cuerpo, mente y energía. A través de asanas, trabajo respiratorio (pranayama) y momentos de silencio, iremos creando espacio interior y serenidad. ✨ En algunas sesiones incorporaremos el poder vibracional de los **cuencos tibetanos**, para acompañar la relajación final y facilitar una experiencia más profunda de armonía y conexión interior. No importa si tienes experiencia o estás empezando: cada clase se adapta al ritmo y necesidades de cada persona. 🕉️ **Trae ropa cómoda, una esterilla y tus ganas de respirar y sentir.** 🕓 **Duración:** 1h 30min 📍 **Lugar:** Ynspire Space, en frente de la Estación de Francia. 💶 **Aportación:** 10€ 💫 Si quieres más información o reservar tu plaza, puedes escribirme por WhatsApp: 👉 [https://wa.me/34608171231](https://wa.me/34608171231?text=Hola,%20quiero%20m%C3%A1s%20informaci%C3%B3n%20sobre%20el%20ba%C3%B1o%20de%20sonido%20y%20pranayama)

El Cuarto Camino, basado en las enseñanzas de Gurdjieff, divide el Ser de cada persona en 4 niveles según su nivel de Conciencia. El Trabajo personal nos permite abordar los diversos niveles pero, ¿Qué significan estos niveles? ¿Cómo puede cambiar mi nivel de Conciencia? ¿Cómo puedo comenzar con el Trabajo sobre mí mismo para tal fin? Hablaremos del estado de sueño, vigilia y de Conciencia superior. Hablaremos sobre el origen de estas ideas y la enseñanza de Cuarto Camino. Tendrás un espacio para comentarios y preguntas también. Te esperamos para el encuentro!! Coste: 5 euros (para pago sala y gastos org.) Sólo en efectivo. No Bizum.

**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.** Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè! Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu. Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol. **ON ENS TROBEM?** Centre cívic drassanes Nou de la rambla, 43 https://maps.app.goo.gl/hMzFvMG8x864Tsyf6 **QUAN ENS TROBEM?** Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45. Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment. **QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM?** Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana. **QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS?** A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method). Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi. **QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS?** Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors: \- Per quins ideals val la pena morir? \- Per què mai estem satisfets? \- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual? \- És necessària la identitat? \- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia? \- Què és la postveritat? \- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\. \- Què és l'amistat? **QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP?** Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós.

As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!

Wouldn’t it be nice to find a way to overcome your feelings of anger so that you not only control them, but you no longer have the urge to lose your temper in the first place? And how about being able to shake off resentments, persistent annoyance, or even feelings of vengeance? We’d like to invite you to an event on how to overcome anger and resentment. We will show you why people have trouble controlling their temper and where resentment comes from. Flaring anger can ruin a meeting, a relationship, an opportunity, or just about any aspect of life. Worst of all, outbursts towards our family can create hurt that lingers throughout a lifetime. You want to have a civil conversation, and you’ve vowed that you wouldn’t lose your temper, but a few minutes later, the anger flares up. Maybe you’ve realized that being angry doesn’t get you what you want so you internalize it. Or maybe you avoid the knockdown, drag-out fights, but stewing in resentment is exhausting and takes an emotional toll. In this event we show you how to get to the root of your anger so that it stops being an issue to you. You’ll also learn why people harbor resentments and how to move on. Don't continue to struggle, make a difference in your life, and join us for this local event. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This Meetup is sponsored by your local Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

**Our February novel is: Julia by Sandra Newman** **This month is a classic, dystopian, fiction, literary fiction, women’s fiction, and science fiction novel. The book is 394 pages in print and 14 hours and 20 minutes on audiobook.** **An imaginative, feminist, and brilliantly relevant-to-today retelling of Orwell’s 1984, from the point of view of Winston Smith’s lover, Julia, by critically acclaimed novelist Sandra Newman.** Julia Worthing is a mechanic, working in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. It’s 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell’s 1984. All her life, Julia has known only Oceania, and, until she meets Winston Smith, she has never imagined anything else. She is an ideal citizen: cheerfully cynical, always ready with a bribe, piously repeating every political slogan while believing in nothing. She routinely breaks the rules, but also collaborates with the regime when necessary. Everyone likes Julia. Then one day she finds herself walking toward Winston Smith in a corridor and impulsively slips him a note, setting in motion the devastating, unforgettable events of the classic story. Julia takes us on a surprising journey through Orwell’s now-iconic dystopia, with twists that reveal unexpected sides not only to Julia, but to other familiar figures in the 1984 universe. This unique perspective lays bare our own world in haunting and provocative ways, just as the original did almost seventy-five years ago.
