The Eye Contact Experiment [Milano]
**Start February energized!**
Open your eyes, heart and soul and lose yourself in the eyes of a stranger for one minute. Explore a sense of belonging within our community while enjoying a moment of connection with a fellow human being.
►𝗪𝗛𝗬
Explore and express who you are: A human being.
𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄
When someone approaches us on the street, sometimes there is an incentive to sell something in particular. Yet, in this event, you have the unique opportunity to experience how we connect with each other without any intention. Here, you can feel truly being seen and understood. Experience the joy of human connection.
𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿
Eye contact is a simple form of meditation that allows you to observe your thoughts and feelings with much more clarity. This so called awareness is your gateway to a joyful life. Experience a day full of curiosity, peace and presence.
𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
For some of us, looking into the eyes of someone can be a difficult, daunting task. Yet it is proven that people looking into the eyes of others are perceived as more confident. This skill can be trained like a muscle. In other words, you are going to feel much more comfortable around other people. Learning this skill can be useful in holding a public speech, a company meeting, at dating or talking with your friends and family.
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘆𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗿𝘀
Meet open-minded, positive people and connect with all kinds of them. Experience acceptance free of any judgement. Find a safe place where we see commonalities over differences. We are all part of the same family.
𝗕𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
Nowadays, we are glued to our phones and social media. We, almost by accident, learned to avoid contact with fellow human beings where the generation before us used to have conversations with strangers while riding the tram, bus or train. Many friendships and romantic relationships used to stem from these casual interactions in public life. Let’s solve the problem of the increasing sense of division, isolation and loneliness by coming together and be truly present and communicate with each other, verbally and non-verbally.
►𝗛𝗢𝗪
Choose someone, offer this person to sit in front of you and make yourself comfortable. Bring a blanket or something similar to comfortably sit down. Alternatively, you can do the eye gazing while standing. Look into each others eyes for a minute (or even longer). Enjoy the silence and observe what happens. Expect nothing, yet be open for everything.
►𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧
The eye contact experiment is a beautiful and powerful experience that…
• offers you to explore human connection through non-verbal communication.
• can make your day, and for some people even change their life.
• brings people together.
►𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡
19th January, from 6:00pm until 8:00 pm.

Mensa dei Poveri con me: Aiutiamo i Fratelli di San Francesco 🍲
[ITA]
Domenica 21 faremo squadra per una serata speciale! 🤝 Unisciti a me per un turno di volontariato presso la mensa della Fondazione Fratelli di San Francesco.
La mensa non è solo un posto dove si distribuisce cibo, ma un rifugio sicuro basato sulla dignità, l'ascolto e il calore umano. La domenica sera è un momento in cui c'è tantissimo bisogno, perché molte altre strutture in città sono chiuse.
Cosa faremo?
Il cibo viene preparato dai cuochi nella cucina accanto, quindi noi non dovremo cucinare. Il nostro compito sarà fondamentale per la gestione della sala: ci porteranno tutto l'occorrente e noi ci occuperemo di allestire lo spazio prima dell'inizio e poi faremo il servizio diretto di distribuzione della cena agli ospiti.
Non serve alcuna esperienza precedente: faccio volontariato qui da anni, vi spiegherò tutto io sul posto e faremo il turno insieme dall'inizio alla fine!
📍 Dove: Via Saponaro, 40, Milano
⏰ Quando: Domenica 21, dalle 17:00 alle 20:00
📋 Adempimenti importanti:
Prima di iniziare il servizio, è obbligatorio compilare una liberatoria che dovrò inviare alla responsabile della struttura. Ti contatterò privatamente per mandartela!
⚠️ Nota importante sulla presenza:
I posti per questo evento sono contati e preziosi. Se ti iscrivi e poi non ti presenti o disdici all'ultimo, toglierai il posto a un altro volontario e metterai in difficoltà il servizio della mensa. Iscriviti solo se sei sicuro al 100% di partecipare. Grazie per la collaborazione!
[ENG]
This Sunday 21st, let's team up for a meaningful evening! 🤝 Join me for a volunteering shift at the Fratelli di San Francesco soup kitchen.
This place is much more than just distributing food; it’s a safe haven built on dignity, listening, and human warmth. Sunday evening is a very busy time since many other facilities in the city are closed.
What will we do?
The food is prepared by the chefs in the kitchen next door, so we won't be cooking. Our role is key to managing the dining hall: they will bring us everything needed, and we will set up the space before the service starts and then serve dinner directly to the guests.
No prior experience is needed! I have been a volunteer here for years, so I will guide you through everything and we will do the whole shift together.
📍 Where: Via Saponaro, 40, Milan
⏰ When: Sunday 21st, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM
💬 Language: A basic understanding of Italian is helpful to interact with the kitchen staff, but I'll be there to help and translate for you!
📋 Important Requirements:
Before starting the shift, you must fill out a liability waiver/release form (liberatoria) which I need to forward to the center's manager. I will message you privately to send it over!
⚠️ Important Note on Attendance:
Spots for this event are limited and very valuable. If you sign up and then change your mind at the last minute or don't show up, you will take away the spot from another volunteer and impact the kitchen service. Please RSVP only if you are 100% sure you can make it. Thank you for your cooperation!
[ESP]
¡Este domingo 21 nos uniremos para una tarde muy especial! 🤝 Acompáñame en un turno de voluntariado en el comedor social de la Fondazione Fratelli di San Francesco.
El comedor no es solo un lugar donde se distribuye comida, sino un refugio seguro basado en la dignidad, la escucha y la calidez humana. El domingo por la tarde es un momento de gran necesidad, ya que muchos otros centros de la ciudad están cerrados.
¿Qué haremos?
La comida la preparan los cocineros en la cocina de al lado, por lo que nosotros no tendremos que cocinar. Nuestra labor será clave para la gestión del comedor: nos traerán todo lo necesario y nos encargaremos de preparar el espacio antes del inicio y luego haremos el servicio directo de distribución de la cena a los asistentes.
No se necesita experiencia previa: llevo años siendo voluntario aquí, ¡así que yo les explicaré todo allí mismo y haremos el turno juntos de principio a fin!
📍 Dónde: Via Saponaro, 40, Milán
⏰ Cuándo: Domingo 21, de 17:00 a 20:00 h
💬 Idioma: Un conocimiento básico de italiano es útil para interactuar con el personal de la cocina, ¡pero yo estaré allí para ayudarte y traducir!
📋 Requisitos importantes:
Antes de empezar el servicio, es obligatorio rellenar un documento de exención de responsabilidad (liberatoria) que debo enviar a la responsable del centro. ¡Te escribiré por privado para enviártelo!
⚠️ Nota importante sobre la asistencia:
Las plazas para este evento son limitadas y muy valiosas. Si te apuntas y luego no asistes o cancelas a última hora, le quitarás el sitio a otro voluntario y perjudicarás el servicio del comedor. Por favor, apúntate solo si estás 100% seguro de asistir. ¡Muchas gracias por tu colaboración!
BOCHINCHE SPIRITUALE: Torna a Giocare 🌸
**BOCHINCHE SPIRITUALE**
**Torna a Giocare 🌸**
**Yoga, Mindfulness e un pizzico di magia per ricordarti che la gioia è una cosa seria.**
Benvenuta al Bochinche Spirituale, uno spazio di incontro tra donne dove la spiritualità incontra la vita vera (e un pizzico di sano caos). 🌀
Qui non serve essere «zen» o avere tutto sotto controllo.
Puoi arrivare spettinata, confusa o semplicemente te stessa.
**🌿 IL TEMA: LA BAMBINA INTERIORE**
Svestire i doveri per tornare alla gioia.
Dentro ognuna di noi vive una parte che sa meravigliarsi, creare e ridere con assoluta naturalezza.
Lei non ha bisogno di essere aggiustata.
Ha solo bisogno di essere ricordata.
Per questo abbiamo creato una versione speciale del Bochinche Spirituale.
**Insieme ad Alessandra, insegnante di yoga,** vivremo una pratica dolce di ancoraggio al corpo, perché la gioia non si pensa. Si sente.
Attraverso il respiro e il movimento ci ricorderemo come si vive con più leggerezza, libertà e presenza.
E, soprattutto, ci concediamo il permesso di tornare a giocare. 🌸
**🌷 PERCHÉ PARTECIPARE?**
Perché il Bochinche Spirituale non è un corso dove imparare un nuovo dovere.
È uno spazio protetto per togliere peso e tornare dolcemente a casa.
Un luogo dove respirare, condividere, ridere e ricordarti che la gioia non è qualcosa da raggiungere.
💛 È qualcosa da ricordare, insieme al corpo.
**📍 Milano —** **🗓 21Giugno \| ⏰ Ore 10:30** **🎟 35€ \| ✨posti limitati**

Clay & Glow — Earrings + Resin Jewelry Dish Workshop 19.06
A little time for you, your hands, and people who get your vibe.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and create your own pair of polymer clay earrings — playful, bold, or minimal, totally your call — and craft a resin jewelry dish for your nightstand, the perfect home for your everyday pieces.
No experience needed. Just show up, slow down, and let your creativity do its thing.
This is more than a workshop — it’s a space to meet like-minded women, share a relaxed moment, and reconnect with your creative side (the one that usually gets lost between to-do lists).
We’ll guide you step by step, but you’ll have full freedom to experiment, mix colors, and create pieces that actually feel like you.
And yes — there’s a little aperitivo, because good conversations (and good ideas) need fuel.
What you’ll create:
A pair of handmade polymer clay earrings
A resin jewelry dish for your bedside or vanity
Where: Kookie LAB
Vibe: relaxed, creative, social (but not awkward)
Come alone or bring a friend — either way, you won’t feel like the odd one out.
✨ All materials included
✨ Duration: 2 hours
✨ Language: English
**Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls.

Consapevolezza senza scelta: Krishnamurti nell’era dell’indecisione (IT/EN)
**Italiano**
**Viviamo circondati da scelte**: cosa fare, chi essere, che posizione prendere su tutto. Eppure, **più alternative abbiamo, più spesso restiamo bloccati nell’indecisione**, nel rimuginio, nell\*’overthinking\*. In questo scenario, **la proposta di Jiddu Krishnamurti suona quasi scandalosa: una *consapevolezza senza scelta***, capace di vedere ciò che è, prima di ogni decisione, tecnica o metodo.
In questo incontro **useremo il pensiero di Krishnamurti come filo rosso** per esplorare insieme cosa potrebbe significare, oggi **“vedere ciò che è” senza giudicare, senza selezionare, senza cercare di aggiustare tutto subito**. Partiremo da alcuni suoi passaggi su consapevolezza, osservatore/osservato, fine del conflitto interiore, ascoltandoli o leggendoli insieme e lasciando spazio al dialogo.
Accanto alla voce di Krishnamurti, richiameremo anche **altri contributi su consapevolezza**: dalla mindfulness alla psicologia contemporanea, dalla consapevolezza emotiva e corporea alla ricerca di senso più esistenziale. Questo ci aiuterà a distinguere tra consapevolezza come “tecnica” e consapevolezza come modo di vedere e vivere.
**L’incontro alternerà:**
* una breve introduzione per chiarire cosa si intende per “consapevolezza senza scelta”;
* ascolto/lettura di brani scelti;
* qualche semplice esperienza guidata di osservazione (del corpo, dei pensieri, delle emozioni);
* momenti di condivisione e dialogo aperto, in cui ciascuno potrà portare la propria esperienza con l’indecisione, il controllo, il bisogno di scegliere il “giusto”.
**Alcune domande** che guideranno il nostro dialogo:
* Cosa intendiamo, ciascuno di noi, quando diciamo “siamo consapevoli”?
* In quali momenti della vita ci accorgiamo di essere bloccati dall’indecisione o dal rimuginio?
* Che differenza c’è, per la nostra esperienza, tra “controllare” e “osservare”?
* Cosa potrebbe voler dire, concretamente, fare un passo verso una “consapevolezza senza scelta” nella vita di tutti i giorni?
Non serve conoscere già Krishnamurti, né avere esperienza di meditazione: basta curiosità e la disponibilità a guardare un po’ più da vicino il modo in cui normalmente ci osserviamo, giudichiamo, scegliamo.
Nessuna esperienza precedente richiesta. Portate solo la vostra presenza e la disponibilità ad osservare senza giudicare e senza motivazioni.
**Ingresso libero — posti limitati**. Confermate la partecipazione tramite Meetup.
Ci vediamo il 18 giugno 2026 alle h. 18:30 da Otto; la consumazione presso il locale non è obbligatoria ma consigliata in quanto ospita il nostro evento.
**English**
**We live surrounded by choices**: what to do, who to be, what stance to take on almost everything. And yet, **the more options we have, the more often we get stuck in indecision**, in rumination, in overthinking. In this scenario\*\*, Jiddu Krishnamurti’s proposal sounds almost shocking: a *choiceless awareness*\*\*, the capacity to see what is, before any decision, technique, or method.
In this meeting we will use **Krishnamurti’s thought as a guiding thread** to explore together what it might mean, today, **to “see what is” without judging, without selecting, without trying to fix everything right away**. We will start from some of his key passages on awareness, the observer and the observed, and the ending of inner conflict, listening to or reading them together and leaving room for dialogue.
Alongside Krishnamurti’s voice, we will also bring in **other perspectives on awareness**: from mindfulness to contemporary psychology, from emotional and bodily awareness to a more existential search for meaning. This will help us distinguish between awareness as a “technique” and awareness as a way of seeing and living.
**The meeting will alternate:**
* a brief introduction to clarify what is meant by “choiceless awareness”
* listening to/reading selected passages
* some simple guided exercises of observation (of the body, thoughts, emotions)
* moments of sharing and open dialogue, where everyone can bring their own experience with indecision, control, and the need to make the “right” choice
**Some questions** that will guide our dialogue:
* What do we each mean when we say “we are aware”?
* In which moments of life do we notice we are stuck in indecision or rumination?
* What is, in our experience, the difference between “controlling” and “observing”?
* What could it concretely mean to take a step toward “choiceless awareness” in everyday life?
You don’t need to know Krishnamurti already, nor have any experience with meditation: all that’s needed is curiosity and a willingness to look a little more closely at the way we usually observe, judge, and choose.
No previous experience required. Just bring your presence and your willingness to observe without judging and without ulterior motives.
**Free entry — limited seats**. Please confirm your participation through Meetup.
See you at Otto on the 18th June 2026 at 18:30; buying a drink or snack at the venue is not mandatory but recommended, as the place is kindly hosting our event.

Whether you’re seeking deeper spiritual connection, personal clarity, or simply a supportive brotherhood, this group invites you to bring your authentic self and grow in community.
This week the Men's of Group will meet at Scrambler's - the North Hamilton Road location:

Volunteer Opportunity
Open Shelter has teamed up again with Red White and Boom! Friday, July 3rd & we are looking for volunteers to run the event’s alcohol booths. Proceeds from sales go to the Open Shelter’s organization.
There are two available shifts: 12-6p & 5-11p.
There will be an ipad-like device to process transactions in addition to cash. Everything will be in bottles or cans, so transactions should be very easy. Must be 21+.
There are multiple beverage stations along the Civic Center Bridge. The stations are covered and also have beverage trucks next to them, so volunteers can cool off in the trucks.
As far as parking, it is suggested those who are coming from the east use the Columbus Commons Garage, and those from the west use the Belle Street Garage.
Harry from the Open Shelter will be your contact.
