First Sunday of the month social ride for every level and all groups
**BCRG first Sunday of the month social ride**
**What to Expect:**
This is a monthly riding event that the organizers of BRCG created to socialize between the different groups and levels of the participants of this meetup.
Every organizer shares the details of his ride below and you can attend signing up for the event and answering the name of the organizer you will go with.
After the rides, all groups will meet for drinks.
**Is This Ride for Me?**
Before to sign up for a ride check the details of the route, elevation, km and speed level expected. While this ride is open to everyone, we ask that you are comfortable riding in groups, have a **road bike**, and **have done rides of similar distance and elevation** before. We welcome all newcomers but everyone is expected to be **self-sufficient**, therefore please bring not only your helmet, a spare inner tube, at least 1lt of water and a energy snack if you wish but also sync the route, bring phone and some cash.
**Safety:** Beside wearing an helmet, proper shoes (not open shoes) and a road bike in good conditions **every rider is responsible of his own safety** and must respect the [spanish cyclist regulations](https://www.dgt.es/comunicacion/noticias/20-normas-que-todo-ciclista-debe-conocer/), ultimate safety starts and ends with everyone riding responsibly.
Ride leaders will do their best to keep the group together, moving smoothly and safely at all times. We'll stop at red lights and obey traffic rules.
**There's no commercial interest behind this event;** it's just a bunch of people sharing a fun day out.
Looking forward to riding with you!

Carpe DM Presents: Undertone
**[GRAB YOUR TICKETS ON OUR WEBSITE](www.barcelonaimprovgroup.com/shows)**
In Undertone, two performers step onto an empty stage with no script, no premise, and no plan - only each other. Together, they create improvised scenes driven by presence, relationship, and what lies beneath the words. Without games or format, Undertone explores subtext, silence, and the subtle dynamics that shape human connection. Each performance is a unique encounter - simple, immediate, and deeply human.
Carpe DM is the international unscripted theatre duo of David Christopher (USA) and Maria Kolovou (Greece).
7:30pm Doors & Bar Open

Narcisistas: por qué te enganchan y cómo salir sin volver atrás (con Joan Rubio)
**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** **Hay relaciones que empiezan con intensidad, conexión y sensación de admiración… y terminan en desgaste, confusión y pérdida de identidad. No siempre es fácil identificar lo que ocurre mientras estás dentro.**
Especialmente cuando la persona que tienes enfrente alterna encanto y desprecio, cercanía y distancia, validación y crítica.
En este evento abordaremos el vínculo con perfiles narcisistas y, sobre todo, por qué generan un enganche emocional tan fuerte incluso cuando el daño es evidente.
Durante la sesión trabajaremos:
* *Qué rasgos caracterizan a una dinámica narcisista (más allá de la etiqueta clínica)*
* *Por qué el refuerzo intermitente crea dependencia emocional*
* *Cómo se activa la herida de validación y el miedo al abandono*
* *Señales de manipulación sutil: gaslighting, inversión de culpa y desgaste progresivo*
* *Claves prácticas para cortar el vínculo sin recaer ni idealizar el pasado*
Este encuentro está dirigido a personas que han vivido relaciones intensas pero desestabilizadoras, que saben que no les hacía bien… pero aun así sienten dificultad para soltar del todo.
No se trata de señalar al otro únicamente, sino de comprender qué parte interna quedó atrapada en esa dinámica y cómo fortalecerla para no repetir el patrón.
Si alguna vez te has preguntado por qué vuelves a alguien que sabes que te hiere, este evento puede darte claridad psicológica y herramientas reales para salir sin volver atrás.
✨ **Dinámica especial durante el evento** ✨
A lo largo del evento, varias personas compartirán en una dinámica abierta sus experiencias reales conviviendo o relacionándose con personas narcisistas.
🫂 Porque compartir también ayuda a sanar, entender y crecer juntos.
**aportación :** 5€ para gastos de organización.
**Dirección:** Amaltea (calle Diputación 164)
Te esperamos! :)
Límites Personales: Agradar Demasiado tiene un Coste Invisible (con Joan Rubio)
**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** ¿Te cuesta decir que no sin sentir culpa? ¿Priorizas a los demás incluso cuando te pasas por encima? ¿Sientes que si no agradas, decepcionas?
**Límites personales – Agradar demasiado tiene un coste invisible**
Un espacio para entender por qué te cuesta poner límites y qué estás pagando por ello: **agotamiento, resentimiento y pérdida de identidad.**
Menos culpa. Más respeto propio. Si te reconoces aquí, este evento es para ti.
**aportación:** 5€ para gastos de organización.
Te esperamos! :)

Shut Up & Write!™ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, 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:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!

**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.

Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!

Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington.
The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine.
We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly.
Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome.
The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit.
Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times.
Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have.
Happy writing!
