Charla sobre Constelaciones Familiares (Evento Online - Gratuito)
Favor confirmar através del WhatsApp +351914149287 Tema: Las Constelaciones Familiares son una técnica de la medicina holística creada por Bert Hellinger y que nos permite mirar desde otra perspectiva nuestra vida presente. En ellas se da un nuevo espacio a acontecimientos pasados, comprendiendo todo lo vivido y de ese modo se ubican las emociones en otro lugar más sano, en el lugar correcto, liberándonos de cualquier lastre del pasado que pudiéramos tener. La terapia con Constelaciones Familiares revela que muchos de nuestros sentimientos, comportamientos y síntomas no están en realidad vinculados a nuestra propia historia personal, sino que tienen su origen en una lealtad familiar inconsciente que pretende que cada generación reanude los conflictos no regulados de las generaciones anteriores. Las Constelaciones Familiares permiten poner luz sobre estos conflictos y repararlos para liberar a los que los llevan y a sus futuras generaciones.

!ENGLISH! THURSDAY / Opera Cafe - Philosophy Meetup: 19:30h - 21:00
!ENGLISH! THURSDAY / Opera Cafe - Philosophy Meetup: 19:30h - 21:00
Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

make real friends - small hangout - deep chats
make real friends - small hangout - deep chats
Are you a fan of going to big events and chatting endless smalltalk with people and only finding out anything meaningful about any of them 3 years down the line after massive emotional and time investment? Then this possibly isn't the meetup for you. So what will this be? * A small hangout, 4-6 people max * Some structured questions and activities to break the ice and get things flowing * A general environment of getting deep, sharing openly, and getting to know each other, blemishes and all * No commitment, no nothing. If you want to spend more time with anyone else there then maybe you take their number, or maybe you come back another time * A safe space, judgement and prejudice free, where you might just have some fun, meet some great people and/or learn something Weather (and attendee preference) dependent we can either do this on my jungle terrace with the fire pit, or in a cosy bar, either way in Eixample. A little bit about the organiser, which will maybe give an idea of the intended dynamic: * Am from Scotland, in my 30s. Recently moved to Barcelona and I do strategy/operations/product things with startups. * Love people, highly empathetic, and love to chat about feelings and human behaviour. Loove it. * Don't believe in gods or star signs or multidimensional collective consciousnesses or similar. * Am into meditation (dzogchen, vipassana), food and wine, and trying new things. * Am easy to get on with. A generally pleasing human. Looking forward to finding out about you =)
Unarchive Conversation
Unarchive Conversation
**Unarchive is where curiosity meets community**. *Through weekly discussion small-group discussions we bring together curious minds to explore thought-provoking questions that spark insight, connection and unexpected learning.* ☕️✨Join an Unarchive conversation Sunday, January 18th to meet new people in your community and start your Sunday morning with a thoughtful conversation. **\*Get your ticket [here](https://luma.com/wb472who)\*** ​🕙 11:00 AM ​📍TBD - We will send out an email releasing the location a few days prior via email ​ **This first conversation brings together a small group of strangers around one shared question:** ​*💭“How does multilingualism reshape thought, communication, and the way we interact with the world?”* > ​*Context:* Language doesn’t just help us communicate, it shapes how we think, remember, and relate to others. Research in linguistics and cognitive science suggests that multilingual speakers often develop greater cognitive flexibility and an increased ability to shift perspectives. For example, studies comparing English and Spanish show that English tends to emphasize the agent of an action (“She broke the glass”), while Spanish more often allows the action itself to take focus (“Se rompió el vaso”), which can subtly influence how responsibility and intent are perceived. > Different languages highlight different aspects of reality, from time and emotion to relationships and identity. In a multilingual world, this raises deeper questions: does speaking more than one language change or expand how we understand others? Does it change how we see ourselves? This conversation invites participants to explore how language shapes thought, identity, and everyday interaction, both personally and collectively. ​Seats are limited and additional details will be shared with those who sign up. ​📸 Disclaimer: This event will be photographed and filmed for content. By attending, you acknowledge and consent to the use of photos or videos in which you may appear. 💌 Follow us on Instagram: [@unarchive.club](https://www.instagram.com/unarchive.club/)

A veces cargamos tanto en silencio que olvidamos que no estamos hechxs para hacerlo todo por nuestra cuenta. Somos seres relacionales, parte de una humanidad cocreadora: crecemos, sanamos y nos fortalecemos en vínculo. Este taller nace como un refugio colectivo. Un lugar donde podrás escucharte a través del movimiento, sentir tu cuerpo acompañado y reconectar con la fuerza que surge cuando nos permitimos apoyarnos unxs a otrxs. Mediante dinámicas de danza, exploración corporal y presencia compartida, abriremos un espacio para el cuidado mutuo, la expresión auténtica y la creatividad. Ven a reconstruir la experiencia de comunidad desde la ternura, la apertura, y la alegría de moverte en grupo! **📅** **¿ Fecha y Lugar ?** El sábado 17 de enero de las 17h30 a las 19h en Carrer de Berga, 36. **🤗 ¿Para quién es?** Este es un espacio abierto, inclusivo y amoroso para todes. **💸 Aportación:** Te invito a vivir esta experiencia y a darle el valor que sientas apropiado.

ENGLISH : **Would you like to rediscover the feeling of belonging to a community, of sharing, and of creating together with others?** **Do you want to feel supported not only by yourself, but also by a group?** In an individualistic society that encourages competition and separation, feeling part of a community is essential. Sometimes we carry so much in silence that we forget we are not meant to do everything on our own. We are relational beings, part of a co-creative humanity: we grow, heal, and strengthen ourselves through connection. This workshop is a collective refuge—a space where you can listen to yourself through movement, feel grounded in your body, and reconnect with the strength that arises when we allow ourselves to support one another. Through dance, movement exploration, and shared presence, we will open a space for mutual care, authentic expression, and creativity. Come and rebuild the experience of community through tenderness, openness, and the joy of moving together in a group! **📅 Date & Time:** Saturday, January 17th from 5:30pm to 7pm in Carrer de Berga, 36. **🤗 Who is it for?** This is an open, inclusive, and welcoming space for everyone. **💸 Contribution:** You're invited to join the experience and offer the amount you feel is right.

BreadBreakers Community Dinner: Dialogue Across Divides
BreadBreakers Community Dinner: Dialogue Across Divides
**In a time of division and isolation, come be part of the community that's rebuilding the town square, one table at a time.** In BreadBreakers, we use the common space of the dining table to have conversations where neighbors can **hear, be heard, and know one another.** If you're hungry for good discourse and deeper community, join us for a Community Dinner in Reston and help blaze the trail to a healthier, more connected society and democracy. Here’s how it works: For just two hours, multiple tables of people set aside the need to "win" and instead focus on sharing, listening, and connecting. Guided by experienced table hosts, we'll tell our stories, try to understand each other, and practice being in community with those with different views or backgrounds. **At this dinner, participants will get to choose between three different topics, including some current events.** Topics could range from the political, to the spiritual, to the philosophical, to the off-the-wall - but no matter which table you choose to sit at, you can be sure it'll be like no dinner conversation you've had before! You can also **suggest a topic** by emailing us at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com. Food will be provided for free. For those who wish to provide a donation to help fund BreadBreakers, you can [give here](https://pushpay.com/g/restorationrestonumc?fnd=pO6G-N7oO7FH7Mp1u-x6mA&fndv=Lock&r=No&lang=en&src=pcgl) or at the event. We'll have vegetarian and gluten-free options available. If you have any additional dietary restrictions (Celiac Disease, vegan, etc.) please let us know at BreadBreakersInfo@gmail.com so that we can implement the appropriate food handling procedures. **Join us, invite a friend, and be a part of the movement to mend our fractured society and normalize a better way of talking with one another.** BreadBreakers, an initiative by [Restoration United Methodist Church](https://restorationreston.org/breadbreakers) in Reston, VA, is a religiously inclusive community. All faiths and all stripes are welcomed. Our leadership, volunteer team, and community include people who attend Restoration and people who don't.
