Pedimos a los participantes que traigan un libro de lectura reciente que les haya emocionado o impactado. En vez de un club de lectura donde todos leemos el mismo libro y lo comentamos, cada uno trae una propuesta para recomendar a los demás.
Ocasionalmente compartimos escritos.

Writing Quick and Dirty
This meetup is for anyone—anyone at all—who enjoys playing around with words. You’ll be given a prompt (usually one word, such as “playground” or “shiver”) and time to express yourself in writing in response to it. Anything goes: prose, poetry, lists, letters, lyrics; any form which calls to you and demands expression.
After we have finished writing, you will be invited to share your piece with the group (totally optional, but the feedback can be fun).
The feedback (this is the only part with rules): Responses should be in the form of what stayed with you, what you remembered from the piece, what resonated with you. This is NOT a writing or craft class; there is no good or bad here. Critiques or suggestions miss the point. This is new, tender writing, and we honor it as such.
All writing is considered fictional. This is liberating for the writer, as you are free to write about literally anything and it will never be considered to be “about you.” The first person is always just a character.
Please bring your own writing equipment. It is helpful to come on time so you can hear the prompt and have enough time to write. Please buy a drink or snack from Charcha, our generous host.
A Special Human Design Session to help you find your Purpose
In our community you can meet smart, loving, and ambitious individuals that care about their personal growth and future.
❤️We are dedicated to creating a safe space to hold deep, respectful conversations & connections.❤️
**This special session is generously offered by Celia for The Book Club community.**
As Human Design is part of her professional work, her sessions are normally paid experiences. However, as a long-time member and supporter of The Book Club, she kindly offered to host this event free of charge for our community (thank you!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️)
**Event´s description:**
Have you ever wondered if there is more to life than just getting a safe job and paying the bills?
Have you ever felt like you are here for a reason?
Do you know deep down that you have something great to give to the world, but not sure what?
**Welcome to the age of Aquarius my love.**
**The time in Human history we have all been waiting for.** The moment where the stars align for Humankind to wake up to their God-like potential and innerstand that there is so much more to the world than we can see.
**Age of Aquarius teaches us that this is a journey we must travel from within.**
**In this session, I am going to share how I went from operating in the Matrix money mindset to sourcing abundance from within. Through one of the most potent tools I have come across so far: Human Design. And how you can too!**
Let's jump into the rabbit hole my loves!
**Journey with us during this 2.5 hour lecture with practical parts where you will learn how to unlock your greatest potential from within through the basics of Human Design ✨**
**The event is free, but the hotel does ask you pay them 7 Euro and then you get a drink in return :)**
\*\*Planning - NO MORE ENTRIES ALLOWED AFTER 16:15 \*\*

**This special session is generously offered by Celia for The Book Club community.**
As Human Design is part of her professional work, her sessions are normally paid experiences. However, as a long-time member and supporter of The Book Club, she kindly offered to host this event free of charge for our community (thank you!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️).
At the end of the session, there will be an opportunity for anyone interested to learn more about her work and personal offerings. Participation is, of course, completely optional.
The Book Club is simply hosting the event for the community and is not affiliated with, nor receiving any commission from, any services or offers shared during the session.
Because this Human Design session is based on listening, interaction, and a calm atmosphere, we decided to hold it indoors rather than in the park where we usually have our meetups, so everyone can fully enjoy the experience without background noise or distractions.
When held in an indoor venue, the venue requires a small participation fee per person (€7), which includes a basic drink or refreshment, depending on the venue.
This fee would go directly to the venue hosting the event and not to The Book Club or the guest host.

💡 Real examples we’ll discuss:
• How AI can be used in real estate to automate client communication, qualify leads, improve property matching, and create faster follow-up systems
• How AI can be applied in tourism to create smarter travel experiences, including virtual guides, personalized itineraries, and multilingual support
• How automation can reduce costs, save time, and increase efficiency in service-based businesses
💡 What we’ll cover:
• How AI can help you grow your business
• Practical ways to implement AI today
• Opportunities in travel, tech, and digital business
• Networking, collaboration, and idea sharing
This is not a formal event — it’s a casual space to meet other entrepreneurs, build connections, exchange contacts, and explore ways to collaborate and create business opportunities together 🤝
Grab a drink, meet like-minded people, and talk about ideas in a relaxed atmosphere 🍻
We’ll also share a real example of how travelers are exploring Barcelona using AI-powered tools and virtual guides.
👉 You can check the concept here:

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
