PLEASE, CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE! Anna: 651314706 Instagram: @cercleahimsa **Come join us to enjoy and share a session inspired by yoga and the energy of the lunar cycle.** Each week, we explore a different practice that aligns with the current moon phase (for example, Full Moon: gratitude; Waning Moon: letting go…) The heart of the session is the yoga practice, but we also include a deep meditation of at least 10 minutes, and we close the session with therapeutic writing or artistic expression as a way to integrate the experience. We are a small group of up to eight people, creating a safe and open space where, through the body and movement, we gently move closer to self-awareness and inner peace. Instagram: @cercleahimsa

Have you ever heard about the “cutaneous rabbit” illusion? 🐇 No, it has little in common with the common idiom about rabbits 🙂 Here we are talking about a perception illusion. (ниже информация есть на русском) The idea is that the brain does not manage to process signals properly if touch happens fast enough. If the stimulus is too quick or sharp: • the brain fixes the beginning more strongly • then the ending • and processes the middle roughly or in an averaged way This is a general principle of sensory systems — not only tactile, but also visual and auditory. That is why: • fast touch is felt worse • sharp events are perceived in fragments • and slow ones — richer and fuller Link to Wikipedia (although it is explained there in quite a complicated way): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_rabbit_illusion This theme will be the background of our next practice — **Slowing down** We will move slowly into sensations, try to relax even at different speeds (yes, this is also a technique), and nourish ourselves with contact in its different variations I invite you on February 27th to the practice The hall opens at 18:30, the session starts at 19:00 What will happen in the session 🌸 Gentle and respectful contact in clothes (for participants’ comfort we follow the rule: “yes” means yes, “no” means no) 💃 Dance interaction and conscious movement 🫶 Communication and attentive presence ✨ Breathing practices The practices are done fully clothed and do not contain any religious or sexual context. Tantric practices are about connection and about learning to feel your body and energy more deeply. They help release inner blocks, open creativity, and enrich contact with a partner. And they also create a soft, warm space for heartfelt communication 🌿 You can come with a partner or find one during the session For couples — it’s an opportunity to experience something new together and discover new dimensions of connection For those who come alone — it’s a space where you can be seen as a man or a woman, gently and safely filled with attention, contact, and touch, and explore ideas of how to expand your ability to feel and build conscious connection with a partner 🪷 Come — it’s a safe and interesting space to be yourself 🗣 The session is held in Russian with translation into English Facilitator — Zharkikh Victoria 📸 Instagram: @letsTantra 📅 Thursday\, February 27 \| 18:30 – 22:00 (the hall opens at 18:30, the session starts at 19:00 ) 📍 2 minutes from Universitat metro station Price 💶 €25 — single participation [payment lin](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=2500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%201) 💞 €40 — for two people [payment link](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=4000&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%202) ✨ First session — €15 [payment link](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=1500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento) Registration is confirmed by prepayment In case of cancellation more than 24 hours in advance, the payment is refunded Please send your payment receipt to one of the contacts below so you can be marked as registered: Instagram: @letsTantra Telegram: @vizhvin Email: letstantrabcn@gmail.com 📩 Questions — tg @vizhvin, [https://chat.whatsapp.com/I6sGpID5rE869otaw6Mc5a](https://chat.whatsapp.com/I6sGpID5rE869otaw6Mc5a) Слышали про такое понятие, как «кожный кролик»? 🐇 Нет, с общеизвестной идиомой про кроликов это имеет мало общего 🙂 Речь идёт об иллюзии восприятия Суть в том, что мозг не успевает качественно обрабатывать сигналы, если касание происходит быстро. Если стимул слишком резкий или скоростной: • мозг сильнее фиксирует начало • затем окончание • а середину обрабатывает грубо или усреднённо Это общий принцип сенсорных систем — не только тактильной, но и зрительной, и слуховой. Поэтому: • быстрые прикосновения ощущаются хуже • резкие события воспринимаются фрагментами • а медленные — богаче и полнее Ссылка на википедию (хотя там это всё описано довольно сложно): [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_rabbit_illusion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaneous_rabbit_illusion) Именно эта тема и будет фоном нашей следующей практики — заМЕДление. Будем медленно заходить в ощущения, пробовать расслабляться на скоростях (да, такая техника тоже есть), и напитываться контактом в разных его вариациях Приглашаю 27 февраля на практику Зал открыт с 18:30, в 19:00 начало ### Что будет на занятии 🌸 Мягкий и уважительный контакт в одежде («да» — это да, «нет» — это нет) 💃 Танцевальное взаимодействие и осознанное движение 🫶 Общение и внимательный контакт ✨ Дыхательные практики Практики проводятся в одежде и не содержат религиозного или сексуального контекста Тантрические практики — это про контакт и умение лучше чувствовать тело и энергию Они помогают снять внутренние блоки, раскрыть творчество и обогатить контакт с партнёром А ещё — это мягкое, тёплое пространство для душевного общения 🌿 Можно прийти вдвоём или найти пару уже на занятии Для тех, кто в паре — это новый совместный опыт. Для тех, кто приходит один — пространство для внимания, контакта и исследования чувствительности. 🪷 Здесь безопасно и интересно быть собой 🗣 Занятие на русском с переводом на английский Ведущая — Жарких Виктория 📸 Instagram: @letsTantra 📅 **четверг\, 27 февраля \| 18:30 – 22:00** (зал открыт с 18:30, начало занятия в 19:00) 📍 2 минуты от метро Universitat ### Стоимость 💶 25 € — одиночное участие [ссылка на оплату](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=2500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%201) 💞 40 € — для двоих [ссылка на оплату](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=4000&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento%202) ✨ 15 € — первое занятие [ссылка на оплату](https://revolut.me/victorkagc?currency=EUR&amount=1500&note=contribuci%C3%B3n%20al%20evento) **Бронь по предоплате** При отмене более чем за 24 часа — возврат стоимости билета Просьба продублировать в один из контактов ниже чек оплаты, чтобы вас отметили: telegram @vizhvin Instagram: @letsTantra [letstantrabcn@gmail.com]([mailto:letstantrabcn@gmail.com](http://mailto:letstantrabcn@gmail.com/))

**Morning Voice Flow** is a gentle singing practice — a moment to reconnect with your voice and welcome a new day. ​Singing is a powerful anchor — something that brings us back to ourselves, no matter what’s happening. It reminds us to breathe, to connect, to be fully present — and that’s exactly what we’ll practice this morning. ​We’ll sing songs and mantras, play with harmonies, improvise, and move — softly and curiously. You don’t need to “know how to sing” — just come as you are, take a breath, and join the flow. ​It’s both a **playful singing class** and a **powerful meditation**, led by **Katia Kiwi — gospel singer & voice guide.** ​Come to this special space to explore your sound, get to know it better, and find more freedom, confidence, and joy in singing — while giving yourself a calm and nourishing moment to start the day, to exhale before the weekend, and hum a little morning blessing: ​✨*thank you for this day* ✨ ​ ​ 1 class — 10€ cash / 12€ other ​ 4-class pack — 36€ cash / 44€ other ​  Please book here https://luma.com/inb843hz or message us on + 34 722718449.

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
