### From the facilitator (\* ниже есть версия на русском) “We do this every day, many, many times, and it shapes how our life unfolds now and in the future. We do it successfully or not so well, with confidence or without it, with joy or with frustration. But sometimes, unfortunately, it happens simply out of habit, and later we find ourselves with friends, a cat, or a psychotherapist, talking about how something in life doesn’t feel right. This time I invite you to consciously explore the theme of **Choice**. Around Valentine’s time, we will explore the experience of choosing in partnership and connection — through mindful contact, turning inward to sensations, listening to the body, searching for answers, and making the body our ally in this process. If this topic resonates with you, or if you simply want to reset, recharge, and fill yourself with presence and connection, I warmly invite you to this practice.” ### What will happen in the session 🌸 Gentle and respectful contact in clothes (for participants’ comfort we follow the rule: “yes” means yes, “no” means no) 💃 Conscious movement and dance interaction 🫶 Attentive communication and presence ✨ Breathing practices All practices are done fully clothed and contain no sexual or religious context. These embodied practices are about connection and about learning to feel the body more deeply. They help release inner blocks, open creativity, enrich contact with others, and create a soft, warm space for heartfelt communication 🌿 ### You can come with a partner or alone For couples — an opportunity to experience something new together and discover new dimensions of connection. For those who come alone — a safe space where you can be seen, gently filled with attention, contact, and presence, and explore conscious connection with others. *** 🗣 The session is held in Russian with English translation *** ### Facilitator Viktoria Zharkikh 📸 Instagram: @letsTantra *** ### 📅 Date & Time Sunday\, February 15 \| 17:00 – 20:30 (the studio closes at 17:30) ### 📍 Location 2 minutes from Universitat metro station *** ### 💶 Price 💶 €25 — single participation ([payment link](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=2500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%201)) 💞 €40 — for two people ([payment link](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=4000&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%202)) ✨ **First session — €15** ([payment link](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=1500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento)) Registration is confirmed by prepayment.

Мы делаем это успешно или не очень, с уверенностью или без, радуясь или огорчаясь. Но иногда, к сожалению, это происходит просто по привычке, и потом мы обнаруживаем себя с друзьями, котом или психотерапевтом, обсуждающими, что в жизни что-то не так. В этот раз я приглашаю вас осознанно пойти в тему **Выбора**. Вблизи Дня Святого Валентина мы будем исследовать явление выбора в партнерстве и контакте — через телесные практики, соприкосновение, внимание к ощущениям, поиск ответов внутри себя и попытку сделать тело своим союзником в этом процессе. Если вам откликается эта тема или просто хочется перезагрузиться, наполниться вниманием и живым контактом — приглашаю вас на эту практику.» *** ### Что будет на занятии 🌸 Мягкий и уважительный контакт в одежде (действует правило: «да» — это да, «нет» — это нет) 💃 Осознанное движение и танцевальное взаимодействие 🫶 Внимательное общение и присутствие ✨ Дыхательные практики Все практики проходят в одежде и не содержат сексуального или религиозного контекста Телесные практики помогают глубже чувствовать тело, снимать внутренние блоки, раскрывать творчество, обогащать контакт с другими и создают мягкое, тёплое пространство для душевного общения 🌿 ### Что будет на занятии 🌸 Мягкий и уважительный контакт в одежде (действует правило: «да» — это да, «нет» — это нет) 💃 Осознанное движение и танцевальное взаимодействие 🫶 Внимательное общение и присутствие ✨ Дыхательные практики Все практики проходят в одежде и не содержат сексуального или религиозного контекста.

What if your weekend didn’t rush you, but softened you? This gentle, nature-based mindfulness walk is an invitation to slow down, listen to birdsong instead of notifications, and reconnect with yourself through simple presence. No experience needed, just comfortable shoes and a willingness to be here. **Birdsong Mindfulness Walks 🐦 🌿** * Slow, nature-based mindfulness in Barcelona * Slow, mindful meditation walk (not fitness or hiking). * Birdsong as a mindfulness anchor (not birdwatching). * **[Join our Whatsapp group for walk updates](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GaajU297K67G1kyz2fy1pz)** Join a slow, mostly silent walk through the Montjuïc area, guided by birdsong, breath, and gentle presence. This is an invitation to step out of the rush of everyday life and reconnect with your body, your senses, and the natural world around you. Just walking, listening, and being here. **What we’ll do ✨** * We begin with a short, gentle grounding practice. * We walk at a slow, mindful pace (intentionally slower than a usual walk). * We use birdsong and natural sounds as anchors for awareness. * We pause at times to listen, sense, or simply be still. * We close with a few moments of shared stillness. **A note on birds 🐦** * This is not a birdwatching walk, though we use birdsong as a meditation anchor. * If you’re curious, I’m always happy to chat after the walk about birds we noticed by sight or sound. We hold a monthly gathering for amateur birdwatching. **Language 🗣** * Guided talks and meditations are currently offered in English. * I’m learning Spanish and Catalan and hope to offer guided practices in those languages in the future. **Group size 👥** * We began with very small, intimate groups due to individual Reiki sessions. As interest has grown, more spots are opening and the structure is kept simple so we can walk together more spaciously. * Returning walkers may occasionally join beyond the usual number, as they are already familiar with the pace and nature of the practice. 💛 If you’ve joined before and would like to come again, please join the waitlist or message me directly. I’ll happily mark you as going. **About the practice 💛** I’m a mindfulness teacher in training, and part of this journey includes learning through practice. You may be gently invited to share feedback to help me grow as a facilitator. If any mindfulness teacher trainees would like to co-lead or guide a future walk, feel free to reach out. I’d love to share the space. **Cost 🌿** * These walks are currently offered for free as a way of giving back. * Donations are welcome to help cover Meetup costs and keep the walks accessible: [https://www.hereaware.com/donate](https://www.hereaware.com/donate) **Weather 🌧** * Light rain can be part of the experience. Routes are chosen with mostly concrete paths, often around Jardins de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer. * In case of heavy rain, strong wind, or storm alerts, the walk will be cancelled for safety reasons. **Location and confirmation 📍** * The walk takes place in the Montjuïc area. * The exact meeting point pin will be shared via private comments or via Whatsapp once you’ve RSVP’d, a couple of days before the walk. * Please confirm your attendance by sending a WhatsApp message to:📲 +34 722 692 960 Full experience details and background: [https://www.hereaware.com/experiences](https://www.hereaware.com/experiences) [https://linktr.ee/here.aware](https://linktr.ee/here.aware) **Please read 🎶** * We begin the grounding at the start time, with a 5-minute grace period. * Please arrive a little early to settle in comfortably. * If you’ll be late, text me at least 15 minutes in advance and I’ll share a live location pin. * If you arrive during the grounding or while we’re walking, you’re welcome to join quietly. * Phones will be invited onto silent mode during the walk. **Consent and phones 🎧** The only consent I’ll ask for is for audio recording (for my mindfulness teacher training). I won’t take photos during the walk. You’re welcome to take photos after, and I gently invite minimal phone use during the experience. Thank you for helping keep the space calm, respectful, and spacious for everyone 🌿

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.

As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!
