Maggio, il mese dei fiori… e della rinascita 🌸 Il momento perfetto per rallentare, respirare e ritagliarti uno spazio tutto tuo. Quale fiore ti rappresenta davvero? Quello che ami, quello che senti tuo, o quello che oggi parla di te. In questo workshop ogni partecipante sceglierà il proprio fiore e lo trasformerà in un dipinto ad acquerello. Non è richiesta alcuna esperienza tecnica: potrai esprimerti liberamente, anche in modo astratto, seguendo il tuo istinto e le tue emozioni. Se preferisci, potrai lasciarti guidare da stencil con diverse forme floreali. 💧 L’acquerello, con i suoi tempi lenti e i suoi movimenti fluidi, diventa un gesto calmante e rilassante: un modo per lasciare andare il controllo e ritrovare leggerezza, colore dopo colore. 🌼 Giocheremo anche con il linguaggio dei fiori, scoprendo simboli, significati e messaggi nascosti… per connetterci ancora di più a ciò che scegliamo di rappresentare. Saremo all'esterno del locale nel suo bellissimo giardino che sarà ispirante per la pratica 😊 (in caso di maltempo saremo all'interno). **Attenzione! Early bird 12€ per iscrizioni entro domenica 17 maggio.** **☕** **Contributo workshop:** **15€** comprensivi di: - mia guida – carta da acquerello – acquerelli – pennelli – stencil - acqua al tavolo - il tuo disegno che porterai a casa con te 🌸 Eventuali ulteriori consumazioni al bar saranno a carico di ciascun partecipante. Quota da poter versare tramite paypal o satispay. Si prega di confermare la presenza entro venerdì 15 maggio. Se il workshop sarà rinviato la quota verrà restituita. Possibilità di cancellare prenotazione entro 48h con rimborso quota. gruppo whatsapp: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t) ✨ Questo non è un corso di pittura, ma uno spazio sicuro di espressione. Un momento per esplorare la tua idea di femminilità, senza giudizio, senza regole, senza aspettative. Solo tu, il colore… e il tuo fiore. 🌷 Ti va di scoprire quale sei?

**Italiano / English friendly 🎲🌿** **[Italiano]** Passiamo un bel pomeriggio al Parco Sempione: merenda, giochi da tavolo facili, chiacchiere e nuove amicizie. Porterò giochi leggeri e alcuni giochi sociali, perfetti anche per chi non gioca spesso. L’idea è giocare senza fretta, parlare tra una partita e l’altra e goderci un pomeriggio tranquillo all’aperto. Puoi venire anche da solo/a o con un’amica/o. Ci sarà già un piccolo gruppo di partenza, quindi sarà facile inserirsi, giocare e chiacchierare. Se vuoi, porta qualcosa da condividere: un pacchetto di patatine, biscotti, snack o qualcosa da bere. Se hai un telo o una coperta, può essere utile per sederti sul prato. Dopo le 18:30, per chi ha voglia, possiamo continuare con una pizza lì vicino per cena, verso le 19:30/20:00. 🍕 Pubblicherò aggiornamenti nella chat dell’evento, inclusa una foto del punto in cui saremo al parco. Se arrivi un po’ più tardi, nessun problema: avvisami su Meetup o Instagram @meetandchill_it e ti rispondo subito **[English]** Let’s enjoy a nice Saturday afternoon at Parco Sempione: Italian-style merenda, easy board games, friendly chats and new people to meet. I’ll bring light games and social games, perfect even if you don’t usually play. The idea is to take it slow, play a little, chat between games and enjoy a relaxed afternoon outdoors. You can come alone or bring a friend. There will already be a small group, so it’ll be easy to join in, play and chat. Feel free to bring something to share: a bag of chips, cookies, snacks or something to drink. A picnic blanket can also be useful. After 6:30 PM, whoever wants can join us for pizza nearby, around 7:30/8:00 PM. 🍕 I’ll post updates in the event chat, including a photo of our spot in the park. If you arrive a bit later, no problem: just message me on Meetup or Instagram @meetandchill_it and I’ll reply asap!

**[PRENOTAZIONI QUI](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/il-cane-infernale-spettacolo-darte-di-burattini-gratuito-tickets-1988900189005?aff=oddtdtcreator)** Uno **spettacolo d’arte di burattini** gratuito sta per arrivare a Slow Mill! Giuseppe Verdi e Richard Wagner durante una passeggiata in città discutono di melodramma e tragedia. Il Maestro si accalora un po’ troppo andandosene in malo modo e così Wagner decide di dare una lezione a lui e a tutta la città: sguinzagliando il suo feroce cane, Tannhäuser, per scatenare l’apocalisse. Dopo varie malefatte, la Duchessa, su consiglio del piccolo Lomè, promette un premio a chi libererà la città dal Cane Infernale. Arriveranno così da ogni dove improbabili Cacciatori di Taglie, ma nessuno riuscirà a catturarlo. Solo un uomo, Giuseppe Verdi, lo domerà liberando così la città dall’ondata di ultra-violenza, cambiando l’approccio: usando per una volta il pensiero invece della solita violenza.Alla fine sarà la musica ad ammansire la Belva. **Burattinaio:** Patrizio Dall’Argine **Assistente:** Veronica Ambrosini **Burattini, scene, costumi:** Patrizio Dall’Argine, Veronica Ambrosini **Durata:** 50 minuti **Età consigliata:** dai 3 anni Slow Mill è gestito dall’Associazione “Dora e Pajtimit” APS . Il tesseramento all’Associazione, del costo di 5€, è obbligatorio e ha la durata di 1 anno. Lo slowmill offre ad ogni nuovo membro un drink! Per il pre-tesseramento: **[bit.ly/sociodep](http://bit.ly/sociodep "http://bit.ly/sociodep")**
