This month: The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros **[BUY THE BOOK HERE](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/the-house-on-mango-street/)** In this pop-up book club, we’ll look at **three** **novels that explore life as a migrant, or a child of migrants, in the United States**. We’ll look at themes of home, belonging, identity and language from **three female authors** whose families came from very different parts of the world – but whose experience as migrants in the U.S. was surprisingly similar. **Dates and titles:** **March 30th - *The House on Mango Street* by Sandra Cisneros** Where do we belong as migrants? What is home? In this short, vignette-style novel, we’ll explore the concept of the house as an analogy for a safe place where we truly feel we belong. **May 18th - *[Americanah](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/americanah/)* [by Chimamanda Adichie Ngozi](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/americanah/)** Can migrants ever truly return home? After we settle into our new country, what happens when we go back to our old one? In this modern classic, we’ll explore what it means to “assimilate” and what happens when our roots keep calling us back. **July 6th - *[The Joy Luck Club](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/the-joy-luck-club/)* [by Amy Tan](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/the-joy-luck-club/)** Migrants often live split between countries, cultures and languages – and first-generation children inherit this weight from their parents as well. In this novel, which interweaves the stories of four mothers and four daughters, we’ll explore both the intergenerational differences and similarities. **Instructions** 1. Swing by the shop to pick up a copy of your book 2. Read it 3. Come discuss it Easy peasy! Happy reading!

### ¿Qué son las constelaciones familiares? Una constelación familiar es un método que nos permite dilucidar esos eventos que han podido causar un impacto profundo, a partir del cual, la armonía familiar se ha visto perturbada, estas dificultades pueden ser tanto de convivencia, de salud, de profesión, de pareja, etc. y sobre las cuales no se tiene control. A través de la puesta en escena que nos permite la constelación podemos tomar conciencia del origen del conflicto. Recreando la organización de la familia, o de cualquier otro sistema, las relaciones dentro del mismo se hacen visibles y con ellas las causas que han generado el conflicto pueden aclararse. Los participantes observaron como las dinámicas no resultaron les han estado aparecido, a veces, desde la infancia. Esa visualización y las propuestas de reparación por el terapeuta, rescatan al “paciente” de la culpa y le permiten recrear una nueva y liberadora imagen de solución. ### ¿Cómo puedo hacer mi constelación familiar? Hay dos formas de participar en este taller: 1. Como participar (que muestra los patrones inconscientes para el “paciente”) 2. Como “paciente” que recibe la Constela 3. Participar 20€ 4. Constelar 100€

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
