!Unete a este evento Excepcional! Dos mundos llenos de infinitas maravillas se juntan para que florezca un dialogo común sobre cuestiónes centrales para nuestra vida colectiva. Gracias al Filosofo del dialogo Emanuele Profumi, y al trovador cubano William Rey, Musica y Filosofia marcharán unidas para inspirar a los participantes nuevas ideas, dudas positivas o viejas certezas, para que se comparten en una investigaciòn dialogica que no tenga miedo de entrar en el laberinto del pensar sintiendo e imaginando. El tema de este tercer taller-evento es una pregunta siempre actual, a la cual se tendría que contestar a nivel intimo y no solo: ¿Soledad? Gracias a las musicas de Silvio Rodriguez y de otros musicos relevantes de nuestro presente, entraremos en el laberinto de esta cuestión, para orientarnos e intentar encontrar una o mas salidas del laberinto. El coste del evento-taller es de 8 euros. Se requiere también una libre consumición al café para participar (aunque solo un agua). Aforo limitado (20 personas). Para reservar hay que enviar un mensaje whatsapp a este numero: +34 613937727. !Os esperamos!

Instagram: @cercleahimsa Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar. Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar... El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística. Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau. Instagram: @cercleahimsa

We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
