Ecstatic Dance Milano - Sol Invictus
VENERDI' 26 dicembre 2025
Dalle 21:00 Alle 23:45
@ArteMadia _ zona NoLo Milano
Che cos'è l'ecstatic dance?
L'Ecstatic Dance è un processo che ti permette di scoprire la tua danza personale, così unica che non può essere riprodotta da nessun altro.
La danza consapevole e libera è il linguaggio d'elezione per esprimere in modo diretto e primordiale la nostra energia più pura.
Questa esperienza ci dona una libertà infinita dai vincoli e dai giudizi in modo che possiamo espandere il nostro potenziale e muoverci fino a liberare la vitalità più autentica che è in noi.
Il Dance floor assume un'energia esplosiva quando tutti si lasciano andare alla propria danza e l'estasi naturale viene condivisa.
Ti chiediamo gentilmente di arrivare in orario così da poter incominciare tutti insieme.
TIME TABLE:
21:00 Welcome
21:15 Warm Up: Francesca La notte
21:30 Ecstatic Dance: Dj Massi The Lokett
23.00 : Playing and Sharing
23:30 Closing Circle

STILL HR: Close 2025 with a Communal Adult Coloring-in Experience (women 35+)
**Before the new year begins, you are invited to a quiet, intentional hour of coloring together in silence. *There is no fee to attend.***
Coloring gives your hands something simple to do, which allows the nervous system to slow down and the mind to wander without pressure.
Many people find that clarity arises on its own, not because they are trying to reflect, but because they finally have room to.
This is not spiritual. It is not therapeutic. It is not a workshop.
There is nothing to achieve, fix, or prepare for.
It is simply a communal pause and a quiet way to let the year land before moving on.
This is a phone-free, expectation-free space to slow down and take personal inventory of the year that is ending.
There are no prompts, no discussion, and nothing to share. Just time to sit, color, and let your thoughts settle naturally in the presence of others doing the same.
Attendance is capped at 10 people to keep the space calm and intimate.
### How the hour will work:
* **First 15 minutes:** Arrive, get comfortable, choose your coloring materials, order at the bar, and hear a brief explanation of the format and guidelines
* **Next 45 minutes:** Coloring in silence
* After the session ends, those who wish are welcome to stay and socialize
### What to expect:
* 45 minutes of silent coloring
* No phones and no conversation during the coloring time
* Materials provided (FREE), or bring your own if you prefer
* A calm and respectful environment
* **Please arrive a little in advance & purchase your beverage at the bar**
### Who this is for:
* Women 35+
* Anyone feeling mentally full, overstimulated, or tired of constant doing
* Those who want a low-pressure way to close the year without rituals or resolutions
Free to attend. Come as you are, even if you do not feel particularly reflective or festive.
Sometimes the most meaningful reset is simply being still together.

Aperitivo and Hang-out in English
Hello everybody,
I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 12 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing).
Guests are required to buy their first drinks upon entry.
I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can.
I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with.
When you get there ask for **Riccardo**.
Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963**
During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch.
Looking forward to a great time together!
Best regards,
Riccardo

December Book Club/White Elephant Book Exchange
Welcome, readers! ❄️
Our December read is **_A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella._**
A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella is a tender, character-driven novel that follows three people in a small Pennsylvania town as they each cope with loss and seek connection. Chuck, a widower, struggles to find meaning after his wife’s death; Ella, a young woman, faces the heartbreak of her missing daughter; and Kirsten, a veterinary technician, grieves her father while contemplating her future. Their stories intertwine gently, revealing how grief and hope coexist—and how even small acts of kindness can help people rediscover purpose and peace in the aftermath of tragedy.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone!
At this meeting, our third annual White Elephant book exchange will take place!
If you'd like to participate, bring a gift-wrapped book that you already own. On the gift wrap, write the genre of the book.
We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.**
Happy reading! 📖

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 Sunday 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 noon on Sundays.
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:
12:00 - quick intros.
12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. 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. 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 Sunday!
