# **ENGLISH VERSION** **Dilettos Pastas & CafĂ© – PerĂłn 4217, Buenos Aires**  **Every Saturday \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS**  **Entry: 5,000 ARS (≈ 5 USD)** *** ### **Saturdays just got better.** Let’s face it — meeting new people as an adult is weird, awkward, and sometimes straight-up intimidating. So we created a space where everything feels easy. No pressure. No scripts. No “networking voice.” Just real people, good energy, and conversations that actually go somewhere. Come grab a seat, chat with someone new, flirt if the vibe is right , and enjoy that magic moment when strangers start feeling like friends. No minimum consumption — just bring your vibe, your curiosity, and let the night flow. Expect: ✹ Multilingual chaos ✹ Cultural surprises ✹ Genuine laughs ✹ Unexpected chemistry ✹ And that “how are we just meeting now?” feeling This isn’t networking. This isn’t speed dating. This is **Culture Shock Therapy** — where the city meets the world.⚡ If you’ve been searching for your tribe in Buenos Aires
 You’ve officially found it *** *** # **VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL** **Dilettos Pastas & CafĂ© – PerĂłn 4217, Buenos Aires**  **Todos los sĂĄbados \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS**  **Entrada: $5.000 (≈ 5 USD)** *** ### **Los sĂĄbados ahora tienen otro sabor.** Seamos honestos: hacer amigos de adulto es raro, incĂłmodo y a veces un poco intimidante. Por eso creamos un espacio donde todo fluye. Sin presiĂłn. Sin caretas. Sin tener que “parecer interesante.” Solo buena vibra, gente autĂ©ntica y conversaciones que valen la pena. VenĂ­, sentate, conocĂ© a alguien nuevo, coqueteĂĄ si pinta , y disfrutĂĄ ese momento en el que los desconocidos se convierten en compañía. No hay consumo obligatorio — traĂ© tu energĂ­a, tus ganas de conectar y dejĂĄ que la noche haga lo suyo. Vas a encontrar: ✹ Caos lingĂŒĂ­stico ✹ Choques culturales divertidos ✹ Risas reales ✹ Conexiones inesperadas ✹ Y ese famoso “¿cĂłmo reciĂ©n nos estamos conociendo?” No es networking. No es speed dating. Esto es **Culture Shock Therapy** — donde la ciudad se mezcla con el mundo. ⚡ Si estabas buscando tu tribu en Buenos Aires

Me encanta cĂłmo nos desafĂ­a a cuestionar diferentes puntos de vista, fomentando la apertura y la flexibilidad mental.” – Daniel 🗣 “Siempre quise tener este tipo de conversaciones, pero nunca encontrĂ© el espacio adecuado
 hasta ahora. La gente, los temas, los debates abiertos
 todo hace que sienta que pertenezco aquĂ­.” – SofĂ­a đŸ€“ **PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES** 📌 **ÂżDebo estudiar antes de asistir?** – No es necesario.

Make Friends: Not Small Talk - Deep talks & Coffee | 🌎Culture Shock Therapy
Español Abajo **☕ Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee ☕** Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals. \*\* What to expect?\*\* ✔ Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise). ✔ Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic. ✔ Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zone—without feeling like a job interview. If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again). **Where?** Diletto – PerĂłn 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine). **How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but they’re worth every cent). **FOLLOW US** **INSTAGRAM: @CULTURE.SHOCKTHERAPY** [https://www.instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==] *** **☕Coffee Talk: Donde las Conversaciones Son MĂĄs Fuertes que el CafĂ©â˜•ïž** Si ya tuviste suficiente de las mismas charlas de ascensor y los silencios incĂłmodos en reuniones sociales, este es tu evento. AquĂ­ venimos a hablar de todo lo que realmente importa: la vida, los sueños, las crisis existenciales y por quĂ© seguimos procrastinando nuestras metas. \*\* ÂżQuĂ© puedes esperar?\*\* ✔ Preguntas que te harĂĄn pensar (pero no demasiado, prometemos). ✔ Gente interesante con cero ganas de hablar del trĂĄfico. ✔ DinĂĄmicas interactivas que te sacarĂĄn de tu zona de confort sin hacerte sentir en una entrevista de trabajo. Si estĂĄs listo para una tarde de conversaciones profundas con cafĂ© en mano y un toque de humor sarcĂĄstico, reserva tu lugar antes de que te arrepientas (otra vez). **ÂżDĂłnde?** Diletto – PerĂłn 4217 (porque el cafĂ© sin buenas conversaciones es solo cafeĂ­na desperdiciada). **ÂżCuĂĄnto?** $5.000 ARS / $5 USD (sĂ­, las conexiones genuinas tienen su precio, pero valen cada centavo). **FOLLOW US** **INSTAGRAM: @CULTURE.SHOCKTHERAPY** [https://www.instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==]

# **Band and caller TBA** Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening! **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
Free in-person event: Take Control of Your Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
