**[ENGLISH]** ESPAÑOL MÁS ABAJO 👇 Gestalt to connect, share, and enjoy. *Special Edition:* **Beyond Words** *What happens when spoken language is no longer the center?* 💰 **Contribution:** 20€ (Bites & Drinks Included) – Bizum / Revolut / Cash 👥 **Spots:** Limited to 25 📲 **How to book:** Please, send us a **WhatsApp** to confirm your spot. **Here: [+34 692 188 927](https://wa.me/34692188927?text=Hi!%20I%20would%20like%20to%20book%20a%20spot%20for%20Connections%20%26%20Brunch.)** *Why do we ask this? This helps us ensure the right group size, adapt our group dynamics, and prepare the perfect amount of food!* (*Note: The actual number of attendees is higher than what shows here on Meetup. We promote this workshop across different channels like Instagram and our Website*) 🌟 **Special Guest from USA:** David, founder of Starks Insights, is traveling from the USA to co-facilitate. 🗣️ **Bilingual (EN / ES):** Language won't be a barrier. On-the-spot translation will be provided when necessary (and remember, this experience goes *beyond words*). **About the experience:** When relating to others, speech usually takes all the center stage. This leaves in the background relational languages that we all know, which are the ones that truly connect us with one another. In this Relational Laboratory, we propose lowering the volume of the mind and speech. We will explore universal languages that don’t need words—such as presence, movement, and gaze. A chance to experience a cleaner, deeper, and more authentic connection. **The event flow:** **1\. Gestalt Dynamics \(2 hours\):** Step out of autopilot to the here and now. Speech will take a back seat to give priority to a deeper way of relating. (No previous experience required). **2\. Aperitivo / Pica\-pica \(1 hour\):** We will close by enjoying a snack together and sharing our experience. 📲 **Booking via** **WhatsApp:** **[+34 692 188 927](https://wa.me/34692188927?text=Hi!%20I%20would%20like%20to%20book%20a%20spot%20for%20Connections%20%26%20Brunch.)** **[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/starksinsights/)** *** **[ESPAÑOL]** Gestalt para conectar, compartir y disfrutar. *Edición Especial:* **Más allá de las palabras** *¿Qué sucede cuando el lenguaje hablado deja de ser el centro?* 💰 **Aportación:** 20€ (Pica-pica Incluido) – Bizum / Revolut / Efectivo 👥 **Plazas:** Limitadas a 25 📲 **Cómo reservar:** Por favor, **envíanos un WhatsApp** para confirmar tu plaza.

Promocionamos este taller en varios canales como Instagram y nuestra Web*) 🌟 **Invitado especial desde USA:** David, fundador de Starks Insights, viaja desde USA para cofacilitar. 🗣️ **Bilingüe** (EN / ES)**:** El idioma no será una barrera. Se facilitará traducción en el momento cuando sea necesario (y recuerda que esta experiencia va *más allá de las palabras*). **Sobre la experiencia:** Al relacionarnos, solemos darle todo el espacio a las palabras. Esto deja en un segundo plano lenguajes relacionales que todos conocemos, que son los que verdaderamente nos conectan con los demás. En este Laboratorio Relacional proponemos bajar el volumen de la mente y del habla. Exploraremos lenguajes universales que no necesitan palabras, como la presencia, el movimiento y la mirada. Una oportunidad para experimentar una conexión más limpia, profunda y auténtica. El flujo del evento: **1\. Dinámicas Gestalt \(2 horas\):** Saldremos del piloto automático hacia el aquí y el ahora. Las palabras cederán el espacio para dar prioridad a una forma de relacionarnos más auténtica. (No se requiere experiencia previa). **2\. Pica\-pica / Aperitivo \(1 hora\):** Cerraremos compartiendo y disfrutando juntos de un pica-pica relajado. 📲 **Reserva por WhatsApp:** **[+34 692 188 927](https://wa.me/34692188927?text=Hi!%20I%20would%20like%20to%20book%20a%20spot%20for%20Connections%20%26%20Brunch.)** **[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/starksinsights/)**

This used to be my go-to cafe because it’s not far from home. They’ve got plenty of food options, espresso and coffee from local roasters Caffe Amouri, and dedicated parking. I’ll try to grab a comfy couch for us to enjoy the morning. (No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun. Just be respectful and we'll be alright. Pay your own way, and enjoy!)

Come discuss Emily Wilde’s encyclopedia of faeries by Heather Fawcett as our romantasy book for this month! We’ll have stricter questions as well as some open discussion.

This event is inspired by a suggestion from one of our members. I'm curious what we'll find, as I've never been to Roggenart. Join us in Reston for good vibes on a midweek morning, complete with essential fuel! (No discussions on politics, religion or potentially controversial topics. We're here to relax and have fun.
