Paint Mandalas with dots
Learn how to paint Mandalas with dots.
Painting a mandala is a therapeutic artistic activity that helps you de-stress and calm down. When you paint a mandala, all your attention goes towards maintaining symmetry. You get engrossed in the patterns and get into the flow of creation.
If done with an intention, painting a mandala lets you be in and enjoy the present.
Membership costs 50kr a year

Shut Up & Write!⢠Copenhagen
Join us for an hour of writing! Weâve discovered that itâs strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if itâs true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, rĂŠsumĂŠ, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
- 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros.
- Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour.
- After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (Weâll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafeâs overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Personal development discussion: 3 topics to choose, topics in description
ENG
The topics we will vote to discuss are Maintaining relations, Restoring emotional state and Key emotional events.
2 emotion topics and 1 personal challenges topic to vote for discussion.
We will try as a group of random people to sit down and talk about emotions or personal challenges. Not necessarily to find a solution or an improvement, but to share perspectives and maybe discover new perspectives.
Some people like to talk, some like to listen, at the start of each event, declare if you would prefer to participate in the discussion or prefer to listen in and chime in with an occasional question.
If only danish speaking people are coming we will speak danish, if there are non danish speaking people coming we will speak English.

CafĂŠ Philo Copenhagen
We meet on Saturdays late mornings to have a casual, meaningful conversation on topics of interest to everyone chosen on the spot by majority voting. So please feel free to propose your own topic!
Everyone is welcome to talk, but if you prefer to just join and listen, that is perfect too.
As the contacted cafĂŠs usually only give reservations to eating guests, it is very welcome if you order something to eat during our stay. This is however not mandatory.
This event is in English.
The exact place can still change.
photo_coffee
What about starting the weekend relaxed with a coffee and meeting other photographers? Everyone is invited to pass by, meet other members, exchange ideas and expand your network.

Note: Some materials are free but not the drinks.
Death in Venice by Thomas Mann
Thanks to everyone who joined for our discussion of Djuna Barnesâ *Nightwood*. As always, it was a pleasure to see both familiar and new faces, and I hope you all enjoyed the conversation.
The next book to read is *[Death in Venice](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53061.Death_in_Venice)* (*Der Tod in Venedig*, 1912) by [Thomas Mann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Mann).
Set in the beautiful but decaying city of Venice, the novella follows Gustav von Aschenbach, a distinguished writer who travels south in search of rest and inspiration. There he becomes fascinated by a young Polish boy whose beauty gradually awakens emotions and obsessions that challenge his sense of order, discipline, and self-control.
A short description of the book reads:
One of the most celebrated works of twentieth-century literature, *Death in Venice* is a haunting exploration of beauty, desire, art, aging, and mortality. Combining psychological depth with rich symbolism, Thomas Mannâs novella remains one of the defining works of European modernism.
You can read more about the book on Wikipedia [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_in_Venice), find it on Goodreads [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53061.Death_in_Venice?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=7z83p9EOgb&rank=1), and listen to it as an audiobook on YouTube [here](https://youtu.be/f-JK5W99LVs?si=o8T2fgHe-Hn95sTe).
There is also a famous [film adaptation](https://www.justwatch.com/dk/movie/death-in-venice) from 1971, directed by Luchino Visconti. The film won several international awards and is widely regarded as one of the finest literary adaptations ever made. It is particularly noted for its stunning cinematography, its use of music by Gustav Mahler, and its faithful recreation of the atmosphere of Mannâs novella.
For other resources on how to get a hold of classic books, please see the [About](https://www.meetup.com/copenhagen-classic-book-book-club/) section on the front page of the group.
Please note that I know we originally agreed to meet on Saturday, August 22nd. However, after doing a bit of research and realizing just how short *Death in Venice* actually is, essentially a novellaâdepending on the edition, it ranges from roughly 56 to 140 pagesâI have decided to move the discussion forward to Saturday, July 4th instead. I hope everyone will still be able to make it. This way, weâll also have plenty of time to choose and read another book during the summer.
We meet up on **Saturday, July 4th, at 4 p.m.**
The location will once again be the [Royal Library Garden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Library_Garden,_Copenhagen). During the spring and summer months, we always meet outside here. If the weather turns rainy, we will simply move indoors.
Please remember to bring your suggestion for the next classic book to read.
Also, if you plan to attend, please remember to click âAttendâ on Meetup. Likewise, if you know that you wonât be able to make it, it is very helpful if you update your RSVP accordingly. It makes it easier for everyone to get an idea of how many people to expect.
And, as always, please be mindful and respectful of each other, so that everyone feels welcome and appreciated.
In the meantime, happy reading/listening/watching â or however you prefer to do it.
