أوهام العقل - برنلف
الكتاب يتوفر مطبوعا والكترونيا (يرجى متابعة الرابط للتفاصيل)
«يضيف برنلف كثافة كبيرة في سرد هذه الحكاية الرائعة والمروعة إلى درجة أننا نشعر بمرافقة مارتن في تدهوره، ليس كمراقبين، ولكن كمشاركين في مأساته» - أنيتا ديساي، النيويورك تايمز
«يتسرب عقل مارتن، رويدًا رويدًا، ويذوب في النهاية... رواية برنلف عن هذه الرحلة الرهيبة مؤثرة للغاية، ولا يمكنك تحويل انتباهك عنها إطلاقًا» - هارولد بنتر
«رواية صغيرة مرعبة وقوية» - الصنداي تايمز
هذه الرواية الحميمة والمؤثرة عن التدهور الدرامي الذي يعانيه رجل مسن يصاب بمرض الألزهايمر تستمد قوتها من الصوت السردي الفريد والرائع للرجل نفسه. ولهذا السبب ما زالت من أكثر الروايات قراءة في الأدب الهولندي، وبِيع منها أكثر من750 ألف نسخة، وتُرجمت إلى العديد من اللغات، وتحولت إلى فيلم سينمائي.
يعيش السبعيني مارتن كلاين، في البداية، بذهن حاضر، وإن كان مرهقًا، مع زوجته في ماساتشوستس. ولدا في هولندا، وتحملا بصعوبة الاحتلال النازي لها قبل أن يهاجرا إلى الولايات المتحدة، حيث عمل مارتن في منظمة بحرية. في حين أن مارتن اعتبر نفسه لفترة طويلة «شخصية هامشية» اجتماعيًّا، وحياته العائلية غير مبهرة، إلا أن له قدرة متميزة على الملاحظة والإدراك، حتى مع تدهور حالته الصحية. يلاحظ بلا حول ولا قوة: «يبدو أنني أفقد كلماتي مثلما يفقد شخص دمه»، ويقرر: «سأختلق حياةً لنفسي من دقيقة إلى دقيقة وأصدقها»، لكنه في النهاية يصل إلى قناعة أنه «الوحيد الباقي على قيد الحياة من أبناء لغتي».
لقد كتب برنلف رواية قاتمة وعميقة عن الخسارة التي لا رجعة فيها: فقدان الذات، وفقدان اللغة، والعلاقات، والذكريات، ولكن على الرغم من ذلك فإن صوت مارتن في نهاية الرواية يوحي بالأمل.
كتب برنلف (1937-2012) مجموعة كبيرة من الأعمال بما في ذلك القصائد والقصص القصيرة والروايات والمقالات، وترجم الشعراء الإسكندنافيين لارس غوستافسون وتوماس ترانسترومر إلى اللغة الهولندية، وكان محررًا لدوريات أدبية. وحصل على العديد من الجوائز. من أشهر رواياته: «أوهام العقل» التي صدرت عام 1984، باعت أكثر من 750 ألف نسخة وحُوِّلت إلى فيلم روائي طويل وتُرجمت إلى العديد من اللغات.

Jungle, Rocks and Elephants | Bucket List of Sri Lanka
**Whatever fantastic tales you’ve heard of Sri Lanka is surely correct!** Gigantic jungle chunks, every square meter infused with thousands of plants, blended with tea plantations, roaming elephants, and monkeys swinging from tree to tree. Picture perfect country-wide, central Sri Lanka draws our attention with rock fortresses among rolling hills and lush green plains.
Set on plateaus of **tea plantations and tropical rainforests** surrounded by mountain-scapes sits the city of Kandy, famed for its sacred Buddhist sites and temples and the last capital of the ancient kings of Sri Lanka.
The Temple of the Tooth within the royal palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy houses the relic tooth of the Buddha, it is believed that whoever holds the tooth, holds the governance of the country. For many reasons, this temple is considered one of the most sacred places of worship in the Buddhist world!
The surrounding city of Kandy, with its architectural gems of shrines and temples of Indian and Sinhalese designs set among the grand structures of the British colonial period make for picture perfect strolls along the lake and city streets.
Situated in the Central Province of Sri Lanka close to Dambulla lays **Sigiriya, or “Lion Rock”**, a fortress complex of ruined **palace atop a massive 200-meter rock** among the jungle plains. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most treasured historical monument in Sri Lanka, this spectacular fortress features ancient frescoes painted high above the ground along the famous mirror wall, with legends of drama and fate of the ruler who built it awaiting you at the top!
**Let’s go!!!**
**Day 0 // Departure**
Meeting in Dubai Airport in the afternoon for a direct flight to Colombo.
**Day 1 // Elephants + Ambuluwawa**
Arrival, immigration formalities. Overnight in nearby guesthouse. After breakfast hit the road to elephant orphanage for some unforgettable views of bathing and river crossing. Next, we will head to **spiral tower of Ambuluwawa** for bit of thrilling experience during narrowing climb to the peak, awarded quickly with breathtaking views from the top. From here we drive to hill county of Nuwara Eliya, famous for tea plantations and stunning waterfalls. Here we will visit Ramboda Falls and one of tea factories.
**Day 2 // Scenic train + Kandy**
Sri Lanka can easily compete with Switzerland over the most the scenic train routes, so get your camera ready as we start the day with the **train ride across bridges, jungle, villages and tea plantations**. When in Kandy, we will start with Tooth Temple and glimpse on the colonial quarter near lunch hour. Shortly after it’s a time to hit the road to Sigiriya. Overnight in the jungle lodge, surrounded by the chirping of the Jungle Fowl.
**Day 3 // Ballooning +** **Sigiriya**
Early morning optional **ballooning above Sigiriya plains**. Back to hotel for breakfast and start short trek through the scrub jungle to the world-famous Lion Rock fortress. As the trek unfolds, we’ll take in views of this ancient fortress from every angle, every step from the entrance to the top is a marvel of constantly changing surroundings. Climb to the top takes less than an hour.
Further on, we’ll stop for a walk along village paths and dry zone lakes before we **jump on a bullock cart to village house** where we’ll start picking vegetables for our lunch as the head man’s wife explains recipes. We’ll take a quick **boat ride** while lunch is getting ready. If time allows, we can wander across the cultivation lands to help the villagers work **on a small tractor.**
Time for souvenir shopping and a dinner before heading to airport for return flight, with pockets full of memories! Bye, bye Sri Lanka…

Forgotten Neighbour | Weekend in Moldova
The Republic of Moldova is a small country located between Romania and Ukraine. Little known in Europe, it blends the charms of unspoiled nature with unique history and even more intriguing present. **Often referred as a hidden gem of Europe**, proves its unique character on every corner. Hundreds of kilometers of cellars filled to the ceiling with millions of wine bottles, cave monasteries, Transnistria – the soviet era stronghold are just a few curiosities awaiting travelers here.
A short distance outside Chisinau is two of the countries most unique gems. **Milestii Mici** is a vineyard with the **world’s largest underground wine cellar**, with literally millions of bottles and more like an underground city with **endless kilometers of tunnels best explored on a bike!** And the **ancient city of Orheiul Vechi between the narrow bend of the Raut River** with eroded limestone rocks and the archaeological vestiges of the Trypillian civilization. You’ll find **cultural layers of different epochs** from the Paleolithic, Eneolithic, and Iron Age. Inhabited since ancient times to this day, Orthodox monks still guard the churches and grottos of this natural fortress.
**Transnistria,** officially the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, is a breakaway state, unrecognized internationally part of Moldova, **under military occupation by Russia**. It’s territory is a narrow strip of land between the Dniester River and the Moldovan-Ukrainian border. To enter Transnistria is to **take a time-machine back to Soviet era**, you’ll think you were still in a cold-war geopolitical no-man’s land, with **strange flags, statues of Lenin, vodka for a dollar, and more hammers and sickles than you’ll see anywhere else!**
**Let’s go!!**
**DAY 1 // Chisinau**
We reach Chisinau in the afternoon and first we’ll stretch our legs on a walk through the greenest capital in Europe! Pass by Cathedral Park and Bell Tower, Victory Arc, neoclassical monuments and quaint bookstores. Time for dinner and first taste of Moldovan cuisine. Check in to hotel for overnight.
**Day 2 // Orheiul Vechi + Milestii Mici**
After breakfast we’ll head to Orheiul Vechi and discover the countryside. We’ll explore the ancient monasteries and cave complexes filled with grottos, churches, and hermitages in this open-air museum. Within a small area, you can see here many typical elements of this country: traditional rural culture, picturesque churches, meandering river, white cliffs, and lush green steppes. In the afternoon, we’ll hit the road to Milestii Mici for an **underground bike ride** through the world’s largest wine cellar! With a few tastings along the way, we’ll head back to hotel for a well-deserved rest and dinner, perhaps a quick look at local nightlife.
**Day 3 // Transnistria**
After early breakfast of brânzoaice and strong coffee, we start our journey to Transnistria, the self-proclaimed independent republic with its own currency, border guards, and government. First stop will be the 16th century Tighina Fortress on our way to Tiraspol, the capital of Transnistria, founded by the Russian general Alexandr Suvorov in 1792. We’ll pass by his statue in the square as we walk around the city, with stops at monuments, theatres, parliament houses and all manner of curiosities. Return to Chisinau for overnight.
**Day 4 // Departure**
Free time at leisure before transfer to airport. Bye Bye Moldova!
**Grade**: easy, available to everyone.
**Activities:** sightseeing, leisure cycling, immersion in Soviet era (Transnistria).
**Accommodation & meals:** 4 star hotel, double sharing rooms, meals excluded.
**Cost: 2920 AED excl. flights util APR 25th.**
**Specifically excluded:** flights, visa (Schengen grants entry), insurance, meals except breakfasts.
**Visa:** In addition to Schengen visa, some passports require additional permit (or simplified visa) to enter Moldova, [details here.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_Moldova)

Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
This is a free, in person meeting.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
