(English version at the bottom) Itsekritiikki voi tuntua hyvin tutulta: mieli arvioi, vertaa ja vaatii enemmän. Tässä meditaatiossa tutkimme, mistä tämä ääni syntyy ja mitä tapahtuu, kun siihen suhtautuu hieman lempeämmin. 𝐌𝐚𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨 Maanantain meditaatio on viikoittainen zen-harjoitus. Harjoittelemme yhdessä meditaatiota ja tutkimme joka kerta yhtä aihetta, joka voi avata uusia näkökulmia omaan mieleen ja elämän kokemiseen. Harjoitus voi tuoda lisää selkeyttä, rauhaa ja tasapainoa sekä meditaatiossa että arjen tilanteissa. 𝐌𝐲ö𝐭ä𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐚 Tämä ilta on osa myötätunnon ja mettameditaation teemaa, jota tutkimme maanantain meditaatioissa 23.3.–20.4. 𝐎𝐡𝐣𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐚 • 50 min teetä & opetusta • 2 x 25 min istumameditaatio + 10 min kävelymeditaatio • Henkilökohtaista ohjausta (meditaation aikana, vapaaehtoinen) • Teetä ja yhdessäoloa harjoitusystävien kanssa (vapaaehtoinen) 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 Kaikki ovat tervetulleita.

In this meditation, we explore where this voice comes from and what happens when we approach it with a little more gentleness. 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Monday meditation is a weekly Zen practice. We meditate together and each week explore a new topic that can open new perspectives about our own mind and our experience of life. The practice can bring more clarity, peace, and balance — both in meditation and in everyday life. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞 This evening is part of the theme of compassion and metta meditation, which we will explore in Monday meditations from March 23 to April 20.

**Haluatko oppia puhumaan selkeämmin, itsevarmemmin – ja vähän vähemmällä jännityksellä?** **Stadin Sanasepät** on suomenkielinen puhe- ja esiintymistaitojen treenikenttä, jossa opitaan puhumalla – ei istumalla passiivisena luennoilla. Meillä esiintytään, mokaillaan, pitchataan ja kehitytään turvallisessa ja kannustavassa ilmapiirissä. Tämä on hyvä paikka, jos haluat esimerkiksi: – saada itsevarmuutta esiintymiseen – sanoittaa omaa ajatustasi napakammin – treenata tulevaa työpaikan esitystä varten – kehittyä palautteen antajana (ja vastaanottajana!) – tai vaan oppia puhumaan ihmisille niin, että ne kuuntelee Saat oman mentorin, pääsyn kansainväliseen Toastmasters-materiaaliin – ja ennen kaikkea porukan, joka tsemppaa ja kulkee mukana. Vieraileminen on maksutonta eikä ennakkoilmoittautumista tarvita. Tule testaamaan, miltä tuntuu puhua yleisön edessä. Ei tarvitse olla valmis – kunhan haluat oppia.

Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other.
