Conflict Resolution

Hay cosas que ya no están en tu vida pero siguen ocupando espacio dentro de ti. Conversaciones que no cerraste. Etapas que no terminaste de integrar. Expectativas que aún pesan, aunque ya no tengan sentido. El problema no es lo que pasó. Es lo que sigues sosteniendo sin darte cuenta. Muchas personas intentan avanzar acumulando más: más herramientas, más información, más intención de cambio. Pero sin soltar, no hay espacio real para nada nuevo. En este encuentro trabajaremos el proceso de vaciar desde un enfoque práctico, entendiendo por qué cuesta tanto soltar y cómo hacerlo sin entrar en lucha interna. Durante la sesión abordaremos: – Por qué te aferras a lo que ya no necesitas – La diferencia entre soltar desde la mente y soltar desde la experiencia. – Qué emociones quedan retenidas y cómo influyen en tu presente. – Cómo dejar de reabrir internamente lo que ya ocurrió. – Qué significa realmente “cerrar” una etapa. Este encuentro es para personas que sienten que hay algo que aún pesa, que repiten bucles internos o que, aunque quieren avanzar, notan que algo del pasado sigue presente. No se trata de olvidar ni de forzarte a soltar. Se trata de dejar de sostener lo que ya no tiene sentido seguir cargando. Porque muchas veces, lo que buscas no es añadir más. Es liberar espacio para que algo diferente pueda aparecer. Aportación: 5 €

**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** Tomamos cientos de decisiones cada día: qué decir, qué comer, cómo reaccionar, qué camino elegir. Pero… ¿cuántas de esas decisiones son realmente conscientes? En este evento exploraremos una pregunta que desafía muchas de nuestras creencias: **¿somos realmente quienes decidimos o muchas veces actúa nuestro cerebro en “piloto automático”?** Un encuentro para quienes sienten curiosidad por conocerse mejor y descubrir hasta qué punto **lo que creemos que elegimos… realmente lo estamos eligiendo**. 🧠✨ **aportación:** 5€ para gastos de organización.

**Vols practicar i millorar el teu català mentre coneixes gent nova?** Cada diumenge ens trobem en un bar per conversar **en català**, en un ambient distès i agradable. La trobada és oberta tant a **persones que aprenen català com a catalanoparlants nadius**. És una oportunitat perfecta per practicar l’idioma, fer noves amistats i passar una bona estona xerrant sense presses. **T’hi esperem! Apunta’t i vine al vermut més internacional.** 🍻🗣️

✨Tantra Practice. **Balance or Inner Support?** Many people say they want balance. But balance is not a fixed point — it’s a constant movement. You find it… and then it shifts. You lean to one side, then to the other. This is natural. What we often truly seek is something deeper — a sense of inner support. A place inside where you can return. Where there is calm, stability, and enough space to move through life without losing yourself In this mindful connection practice, we will explore: 🌿 body awareness and sensations 🫶 conscious connection with others 💫 emotional presence and inner stability Not through theory — but through direct experience. Each person may discover something different. And that’s the point. This is a space where you can: — slow down — feel your body more deeply — reconnect with yourself — explore authentic connection with others \* All practices are gentle, respectful, and fully clothed. \* We follow a simple rule: “yes” means yes, “no” means no.” If you feel that you’re tired of “trying to stay balanced” and want to find something more real and stable inside — this space might be for you. 🪷 Come as you are (no experience needed) **Who this session is for** **For couples** — an opportunity to experience something new together and add new layers to how you perceive and feel contact with each other For those **coming alone** — this is a safe space where you can be seen as a man or a woman, gently and respectfully receive attention, contact, and embodied presence, and gain new ideas about how conscious connection with a future partner can be built 🪷 This is a safe and interesting space where you can simply be yourself Language 🗣 The session is held in Russian with translation into English.

But surprisingly, Vika created such a gentle and trusting atmosphere that no awkwardness arose at all. As a bonus for me, I discovered that these practices help not only to раскрыть tactile sensitivity, but also to reflect on many ‘basic’ aspects of communication with people — such as the ability to clearly understand and, most importantly, express what and how you want; the ability to be sincere and open not only with close ones, and much more. It was very interesting during the practice to observe the insights of others, as well as my own, and to feel how over those three hours we all became a little kinder, more open, and more tender ✨”

**[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)** **[Qué es el Jugger? | El Jugger, qué es y cómo jugarlo](https://youtu.be/dfyrlQn14oM)** **[Qué es el LARP?](https://youtu.be/fB3FkxDZhBA)** El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments. Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen.

(English below) Practicar yôga puede ser muy chulo por qué entrenas una combinación de cuerpo físico, emociones, pensamientos y ese “algo más” que todos tenemos/ somos. Esta clase es un poco especial por qué este grupo normalmente es para mejorar tu español. Como algunos ya sabeis, mi hobbie serio es el yôga, hace años que lo practico y tambien tengo formación como instructor, así que por que no proponer una buena clase de domingo? Será en castellano y te puedo ayudar con inglés tambien. Esta vez entrenaremos técnicas de respiración, de meditación, ásanas y otras técnicas. El ambiente es informal, para todos los niveles, relajado y con sentido del humor. También hay momentos más introspectivos. Lo más importante es que tú mismo/a notes el antes y el después de la clase. El espacio donde quedamos es muy chulo, está a 100 metros de Las Ramblas, de Drassanes o de Liceu en la linea verde. Empezamos puntuales a las 11h. Llega unos minutos antes para disfrutar con calma. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona (efectivo, Bizum, Revolut..) SI ya tienes algún pack de 4 x 30€ de las clases de conversación, puedes participar en esta también (cuenta como 1 clase) El plan después de clase es ir a picar algo (opcional) al Honest Greens de Las Ramblas o a otro lugar cerca. Si te cuadra la idea, ven con ropa cómoda, tipo deportiva y, si tienes, trae tu esterilla, tenemos algunas pero nunca se sabe. Ven con curiosidad para explorar una filosofía que, casi seguro, no tiene mucho que ver con lo que imaginabas. ¡Será muy bueno verte! Rafa. ..... (ENG) Practicing yôga can feel so nice because you train this combination of physical body, emotions, thoughts, and that "something else" that we all have/ are. This class is a little special because in this group we usually do conversation classes to improve your Spanish. As some of you already know, yôga is a serious hobby for me. I've been practicing it for years and I'm also a certified instructor, so why not offer a feel-good sunday class? It will be in Spanish, and I can help you with English as well. This time we'll practice breathing techniques, meditation, asanas, and other techniques. The atmosphere is informal, relaxed, suitable for all levels, and with a sense of humor. There are also more introspective moments. The most important thing is that you yourself notice the difference before and after the class. The space where we meet is really nice and just 100 meters from Las Ramblas, Drassanes, or Liceu on the green line. We need to start on time at 11:00 AM. Please, arrive a few minutes early. To participate, there's a contribution of only €10 per person (cash, Bizum, Revolut) if you have a 4x30€ pack from the regular conversation classes, you can also participate in this one. (It counts as 1 class) The plan after the class is to go for a brunch/ drink (optional) at Honest Greens on Las Ramblas or somewhere else nearby. If you like the idea, join us in comfortable clothes, and if you have one, bring your mat. We have some, but you never know. Come with a sense of curiosity to explore a philosophy that, almost certainly, has little to do with what you imagine. It will be great to see you! Rafa.

In the midst of life’s storms—whether in relationships, work, or within ourselves—it can be difficult to find clarity and calm. The “I” Of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace, based on the work of Dr. Gary Simmons, invites you to discover the steady center within—the part of you that remains grounded even when everything around you is in motion. Led by Brian Drafton-Griffin, this engaging workshop offers practical tools and meaningful insights to help you navigate conflict with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence. Through guided discussion and reflection, you’ll learn how to shift from reaction to response and transform challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

Bienvenue! Columbus French Conversation group invites you to our Saturday morning French conversation club. Expect a casual and welcoming atmosphere in which to learn french! I will bring my laptop so we can look up new vocabulary as needed! The venue is a beautiful French restaurant so you can really get into the zone :)

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.

This is an in-person meeting. Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken? Do you get in the way of your own goals? We will discuss the real source of all this, what holds you back in life, and how to handle it so you can achieve more successful and happier living. Perhaps you get weighed down with negative emotions you can't seem to shrug off. Or find yourself doing strange and irrational things - not really being yourself.

This meeting will help you learn about how to effectively overcome: -Out-of-control unwanted emotions -Low self-esteem -Anxiety -Negativity -Stress -Irrational fears -Traumatic or painfully emotional incidents -Breakups -Betrayals -Feeling like you're not really yourself -Self-doubt... We will discuss how to unleash the inner you and tap into your true potential. So come to this online meetup! This meeting is sponsored by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
