Climate Action Book Club: It’s Not That Radical by Mikaela Loach
The climate emergency will not be solved by reading books. But by coming together to read, to educate ourselves, to share what we learn with friends and family, and to take action in our corner of the world we can be a small part of the wave of change humanity desperately needs. Sound like something you want to be a part of? We’d love to have you.
Join the Climate Action Book Club this month to read It’s Not That Radical by Mikaela Loach, the young Jamaica-born British activist and author. She’s an infectious and inspiring voice who will get you excited to take action.
This event is free, but please get your copy from the wonderful English bookstore that hosts our book club meetings, Backstory. To cover Meetup fees, we also request a €1 donation per attendee.
You are welcome (even encouraged) to join us even if you haven't read the book but want to hear and join the discussion about it. Feel free to bring a friend, too. Hope to see you!

Slow Ceramics & Wine – Barcelona
This is not a typical ceramics class.
This is a small, intimate space designed to help you slow down, disconnect from daily noise and reconnect with yourself through a simple, hands-on experience.
In a city that moves fast, this group offers a different kind of plan:
creating with your hands, sharing a glass of wine, and enjoying a calm, screen-free moment.
All workshops are held in very small groups (max. 4 people) to keep the atmosphere personal and relaxed.
No previous experience is needed.
What to expect:
• A guided ceramics experience focused on the process, not perfection
• A cozy and calm environment
• Wine or non-alcoholic drinks
• Time to disconnect, without pressure or distractions
You will also be able to keep your piece after it’s fired, as a reminder of the experience.
This group is for you if you’re looking for:
• A creative break from routine
• A mindful, slow activity
• A different way to meet people or spend time alone
Spots are always limited to keep the experience intimate.

I'm originally from the Netherlands where I’ve been offering NVC training since 2015. I completed my certification in 2018
From all the tools and methods I’ve encountered in my journey as a human, social worker, and coach NVC has stood out to me for its clarity, depth, and its unique combination of simplicity and power. I moved to Barcelona in 2024 and I'm excited to continue offering courses and retreats here
NVC Practice group
This group is an open **space for people who already have some experience with Nonviolent Communication** and would like to continue developing their skills in a supportive environment. Together we explore real-life situations, practice empathy and honest expression. We support each other in integrating NVC more fully into daily life.
Because this is a **practice group rather than a beginner training**, participants are expected to already be familiar with the basic NVC model and terminology. The intention is to create a space where you can learn, develop and strengthen your capacity for compassionate communication.

Entrenament de SOFTCOMBAT i JUGGER, de 11-14.30h a PARC CIUTADELLA
**[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)**
**[Qué es el Jugger? | El Jugger, qué es y cómo jugarlo](https://youtu.be/dfyrlQn14oM)**
**[Qué es el LARP?](https://youtu.be/fB3FkxDZhBA)**
El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments.
Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar.
**És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen. A la tarda, es queda (a vegades) un petit grup, però no es pot garantir la seva presència fins a les 18h, sobretot a l'hivern. Recomanem anar de demà.**

Cultural Language Exchange - Music and Memories
## 🎶 Music & Memory
### A Themed Language Exchange
**Free · Limited Capacity**
**Slow conversations in a fast city.**
**Let music guide the stories we share.**
Join us for a **friendly, relaxed language exchange** where conversations start from something we all share: **music and the memories it carries**.
A song that reminds you of home.
A melody linked to a person, a place, or a moment in your life.
Music brings people together — even when we don’t share the same language.
This is **not a loud bar meetup or a language class**.
It’s a **warm, welcoming cultural evening**, designed for slower conversations, gentle language practice, and real connection.
To keep the atmosphere personal, the event is limited to **30 people**.
RSVP is required.

This is a small, curated event. If you can’t attend, kindly cancel your RSVP so someone else can join. Thank you 💛

The “I” of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace Workshop
In the midst of life’s storms—whether in relationships, work, or within ourselves—it can be difficult to find clarity and calm. The “I” Of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace, based on the work of Dr. Gary Simmons, invites you to discover the steady center within—the part of you that remains grounded even when everything around you is in motion.
Led by Brian Drafton-Griffin, this engaging workshop offers practical tools and meaningful insights to help you navigate conflict with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence. Through guided discussion and reflection, you’ll learn how to shift from reaction to response and transform challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.
COUNT monthly event: Kitchen service at Van Buren Center's shelter
Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above.
There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change.
The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/).
Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers.
For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
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 7:00pm on Wednesday, February 11 at Streetlight Guild.
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.

6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. 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! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
