ITALIANO Evento gratuito Ciao a tutte e a tutti! In occasione della festa della donna, questa domenica vi propongo una passeggiata al nuovissimo Parco '8 Marzo', situato in zona Porta Vittoria e dedicato, appunto, a tutte le donne. Inaugurato l'8 marzo 2023 dove prima sorgeva lo scalo merci di Porta Vittoria con annessa stazione, il parco si estende per circa 30mila metri quadri e comprende spazi aperti con attrezzature per la ricreazione, lo sport e le passeggiate, aree per relax e per picnic. Nel 2026, all'interno del parco, verrà completata la nuova Biblioteca europea di informazione e cultura (BEIC), che contribuirà al processo di rinascita del quartiere di Porta Vittoria. Dopo la passeggiata, per chi vuole, possiamo bere qualcosa o fare aperitivo. Ci troveremo all'uscita della metro blu Susa M4.

SUPMindfulness è un viaggio sull’acqua e dentro di te. Scopri il modo più semplice e naturale per avvicinarti al SUP e alla mindfulness, nel cuore di Milano. Un invito a rallentare, respirare e ritrovare equilibrio… sospesi sull’acqua. Preparati a scoprire Milano da una nuova prospettiva e ritrovare il tuo benessere anche in città. **Orario** 9.30 - 12.00 **⏱ Durata:** 2h30 **👥 Posti:** max 11 **📍 Ritrovo:** Associazione Nazionale Marinai d’Italia, viale Gorizia 9B (Darsena) **✅ Livello:** adatto anche alla prima volta in SUP **Come si svolge SUPMindfulness sui Navigli di Milano** **1) Lezione introduttiva di SUP (sicurezza + tecnica base)** Fondamentale se è la tua prima volta, utile anche se vuoi perfezionare postura e pagaiata. Useremo tavole ampie e stabili: imparare sarà più semplice di quanto immagini. **2) Mindful Tour: meditazione in movimento** Dalla Darsena al Naviglio Grande vivremo una pagaiata in SUP a ritmo lento, guidata e adatta anche ai principianti che per la prima volta salgono sulla tavola. **3) Meditazione guidata + tisana finale** Al rientro in Darsena uniremo i SUP e ci prenderemo un tempo per una meditazione seduti sulla tavola. Chiuderemo l’esperienza con una tisana da sorseggiare sull’acqua. **SUPMindfulness è uno spazio Digital Detox** Durante l’esperienza mettiamo via lo smartphone, per rigenerarci e vivere davvero il momento: potrai lasciarlo in un locale custodito. Foto e video ricordo li realizzo io, così tu puoi restare presente **Cosa è incluso** * SUP, pagaia, giubbotto di salvataggio * Lezione SUP (per principianti e per chi vuole un ripasso tecnico, con correzioni su postura e pagaiata) **Abbigliamento consigliato** Non serve abbigliamento tecnico. In questa stagione è consigliato abbigliamento sportivo comodo (es. tuta/leggings, felpa, giacca antivento, cappellino). Ai piedi: calzari in neoprene o scarpe da scoglio; se preferisci, anche a piedi nudi. **Cosa portare (necessario)** * Un cambio completo * Asciugamano * Cordino per occhiali (da vista o da sole, se li usi) **Dove ci troviamo** Il ritrovo è alla storica Associazione Nazionale Marinai d’Italia in Viale Gorizia 9B a Milano. Qui potrai cambiarti con calma e lasciare vestiti, borse e zaini in un locale custodito. **Condizioni meteo** L’uscita si svolgerà solo in condizioni meteo favorevoli.

**Are you ready for the Milano–Cortina Winter Olympics? We’re not.** **That’s why we’ve created our very own Ostello Bello "Olympic" Games: a glorious display of questionable athletic skills and high-level nonsense.** While the "other" guys are busy with the official **Milano-Cortina 2026** ceremonies, we’re bringing the real "action" to the streets of Milan. From February 6th, we aren't gathering to break world records; we’re gathering to break the laws of physics. This isn’t about the podium; it’s about the survival of the chillest. Get your "winter" gear ready, because we’re about to prove that being an elite athlete is 10% talent and 90% just showing up for the vibes. **The Incentive:** Every participant gets a **shot**. The "legends" who actually win take home an **Ostello Bello T-shirt or a Drink**. ## The Disciplines: Official "Technical" Standards Every day from **7 PM to 9 PM**, our "athletes" will face a rotating schedule of these elite winter disciplines: ### 1\. Air Hockey: The Wrist\-Flick Battle A high-speed duel where the only thing frozen is your gaze on the puck. * **The Goal:** Smash the plastic disc into the hole. * **Requirement:** Move your hand faster than your brain can process and celebrate every point like you’ve just secured a gold medal. ### 2\. Boxing\-Glove Beer Pong: The Clumsy Champion Challenge We took a classic and made it impossible by adding the "Yeti factor." * **The Twist:** You have to play wearing massive, padded boxing gloves. * **The Challenge:** Gripping a tiny ball with giant hands is the ultimate test of patience. Success here is statistically unlikely and basically a miracle. ### 3\. DIY Curling: The Professional Slide The most serious-looking sport in our program. We’ve replaced expensive stones with pots and ice with felt pads, but the tension is real. * **The Setup:** A "House" (target) taped on the floor and a "Hog Line" for the release. * **The Action:** Launch the pot while your teammates run alongside it with brooms, screaming *"Hurry! Hard!"* just like in the real tournaments. * **The Score:** Closest pot to the center wins. Clean floors are a bonus. ### BONUS DAY: The "Wildcard" Game The discipline is a mystery. Our local legends will choose the challenge. Expect the unexpected: and probably more shots. **AND REPEAT.**

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

This event is 2:30 - 4 pm Sunday. Conversation tends toward intermediate/advanced, but everybody is welcome. If you come and don't see us right away, keep looking. We could be anywhere in the restaurant.

The aim of this group is to get together and practice our German. Doesn’t matter if are a beginner or a native speaker. The goal is to speak and improve our German. Everyone is welcome! If the weather is good, look for us in the Biergarten. Pro Tip: Get there before 6:00 for happy hour pricing.
