Language Exchange Party â Buenos Aires
Welcome to the worst language class you'll ever take and the best party you'll find this week.
Here's how it works. You show up at the door. The music's loud, the drinks are flowing, and the dance floor's already warming up. Somewhere between the first and second Fernet, you realize you've been chatting up a stranger in three languages and you're not even sure when you switched. That's the whole point.
Bring your worst accent and your best moves.
Address: Serrano 1329, Buenos Aires, Argentina
WhatsApp: +1 (248) 382-8520
See you at the bar. Dale, nos vemos.
đ Argentine Tango â The dancing Embraceâš
đȘđžEspañol Abajo đ
Did you move to a new country and have to reinvent yourself?
Building friendships from scratch, navigating a new language, missing home â yet longing to belong?
Argentine Tango was born from exactly these stories. In Buenos Aires, generations of newcomers found connection in an unfamiliar land â through an improvised embrace, without fixed rules, simply listening and responding to one another.
đč **What to expect?**
âïž Discover tango as a social language â not just a dance
âïž Playful, guided partner exercises to explore connection through movement
âïž The embrace, the walk, and the subtle dialogue that arises between two bodies
âïž No pressure with complicated sequences - two left feet are welcome!
đ **Where?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. Weâll walk together from Tienda del Cafe Italiano to the tango space (easy to combine with the Culture Shock Therapy social gathering before)
đ° **How much?** 10.000$
đđŒââïž **Who?** Guided by Valerie Kattenfeld â tango dancer and teacher, passionate about creating warm, clear, and authentic spaces for connection through dance.
đ **What to bring?** Comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in (sneakers or sandals you can close. No Flip Flops. Also socks are ok). You do not need to come with a partner.
â **Before?** Join our Culture Shock Therapy social meetup at Tienda de CafĂ© and come with us to the class!
Step into a living piece of Buenos Aires â and maybe recognize a part of your own story in the embrace.
âš See you on the dance floor!

ÂżTe mudaste a otro paĂs y tuviste que reinventarte?
ÂżConstruir amistades desde cero, manejarte en otro idioma, extrañar tu hogar â y al mismo tiempo sentir el deseo de pertenecer?
El Tango Argentino naciĂł exactamente de esas historias. En Buenos Aires, generaciones de reciĂ©n llegados encontraron conexiĂłn en una tierra desconocida â a travĂ©s de un abrazo improvisado, sin reglas fijas, simplemente escuchando y respondiĂ©ndose mutuamente.
đč **ÂżQuĂ© podĂ©s esperar?**
âïž Descubrir el tango como un lenguaje social â no solo como un baile
âïž Ejercicios lĂșdicos y guiados en pareja para explorar la conexiĂłn a travĂ©s del movimiento
âïž El abrazo, la caminata y el diĂĄlogo sutil que surge entre dos cuerpos
âïž Sin presiĂłn ni secuencias complicadas â ÂĄbienvenidas las personas con dos pies izquierdos!
đ **ÂżDĂłnde?** "La Casona de los Bellos Aires" in Rawson 394. Caminaremos juntas/os desde Tienda del Cafe Italiano hasta el espacio de la clase (fĂĄcil de combinar con el encuentro social previo de Culture Shock Therapy).
đ° **ÂżCuĂĄnto?** 10.000$
đđŒââïž **ÂżQuiĂ©n?** Guiado por Valerie Kattenfeld â bailarina y profesora de tango, apasionada por crear espacios cĂĄlidos, claros y autĂ©nticos de conexiĂłn a travĂ©s de la danza.
đ **ÂżQuĂ© traer?** Ropa cĂłmoda y calzado con el que puedas moverte (zapatillas o sandalias que se puedan cerrar. No ojotas. TambiĂ©n podĂ©s venir en medias). No necesitĂĄs venir en pareja.
â **ÂżAntes?** Sumate al encuentro social de Culture Shock Therapy en Tienda de CafĂ© y venite con nosotras/os a la clase.
EntrĂĄ en una pieza viva de Buenos Aires â y quizĂĄs reconozcas una parte de tu propia historia en el abrazo.
âš ÂĄNos vemos en la pista!

Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation donât just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance.
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues.
So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them?
That is what this meeting will be all about.
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.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Communication is everything in life
You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.

\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain actsâlike lyingâare wrong regardless of the consequences; you canât do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are âhigherâ than others, and that good intentions donât redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
