Clases Gratis Taichi al aire libre./ Free Taichi Lessons
Realizamos Taichi al aire libre aún asi solicitamos que debido al CoViD cada participante decida libremente y se responsabilice de las medidas que desee tomar respecto a la situación sanitaria actual
El Taichi es una arte marcial basado en la filosofía taoísta y en su visión del universo, que además de fomentar habilidades marciales, ayuda a mejorar la salud, la conciencia corporal y puede ser un camino para el desarrollo personal y espiritual de los que lo practican.
Este arte marcial es diferente a la mayoría de las que podáis conocer. Mientras otras se basan en la fuerza y la potencia el Taichí es una respuesta a la pregunta: ¿Por qué combatir la fuerza bruta con más fuerza cuando es posible aprovechar la de tu adversario?
Si estas pinceladas os llaman la atención podéis venir a conocer el Taichi de forma gratuita, cada domingo de manos del Sifu Albert Sala.
Las clases son de 9 a 10:30 de la mañana en el parque situado al final del Carrer Lleida delante del recinto llamado “El mercat de les flors” (cerca de las paradas de metro “Plaça Espanya” y “Poble Sec”).
Somos razonables en la práctica del Taichi y os ayudaremos a no realizar prácticas que puedan provocaros un daño pero en última instancia cada participante es responsable de si mismo y os pedimos que nos comuniquéis problemas de salud o lesiones que pudiesen causaros perjuicio alguno. Además os repetimos que debéis velar de forma adulta y consciente de vuestro bienestar y por tanto os hacemos responsables en ultima instancia del mismo.
We practice Taichi out in the open but been aware of CoViD we want for each practitioner to take the mesures
to protect themselfs in the corrent situation the way they see fit under their own responsibility.
Taichi is a martial art based in the Taoist philosophy and its vision of the universe, in addition to the improvement of the martial skills of its practitioners, helps to enhance their health, their body awareness, and also can be a path for their personal and spiritual growth.
This martial art is set apart from the majority of the other ones you may know. Other martial arts are based in strength and muscle power, but Taichi is instead an answer to the question: ¿Why fight strength with strength when you could use their power against them?
If these bits have caught your attention you can come to know Taichi for free, all Sundays taught by Sifu Albert Sala.
The lessons start at 9:00 am and run throught 10:30 am in the parc that is at Lleida Street (Carrer Lleida) in front of the building called “El mercat de les flors” (It’s near de subway stations of Plaça Espanya and Poble Sec).
We encorage a rational training of Taichi and will help you to prevent posible injuries in its practice. But you have to be conscius and responsable of yourself so we ask of you to comunicate with us any posible health problems or injuries that may be bring harm to you during training. However you have to be aware and concious of your well-being and therefore we hold you ultimately responsible for it.
Energías sutiles: Lo que la ciencia empieza a intuir y ... (con Ilaria)
**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** **Energías sutiles:**
**Lo que la ciencia empieza a intuir y la experiencia energética confirma**
En esta charla exploraremos el concepto de las energías sutiles desde una perspectiva que une **ciencia, conciencia y experiencia directa**. A lo largo de la historia, muchas tradiciones han descrito la existencia de campos energéticos que influyen en el cuerpo, la mente y las emociones.
Hoy, algunas áreas de la ciencia empiezan a abrir nuevas preguntas sobre la naturaleza de la realidad, los campos, la información y la relación entre conciencia y materia.
Partiendo de mi recorrido personal —de la investigación científica al trabajo con la energía— compartiré cómo estas **dimensiones aparentemente invisibles** pueden percibirse, comprenderse y experimentarse.
La charla combinará reflexión, ejemplos reales y claves para reconocer cómo los estados emocionales, la atención y la conciencia influyen en nuestro campo energético.
Más que presentar un **conjunto de creencias**, esta charla propone una exploración abierta: un puente entre lo que la ciencia comienza a investigar y lo que muchas personas ya experimentan en su propia vivencia energética.
Durante el encuentro también habrá un breve ejercicio práctico para que los participantes puedan percibir de forma directa algunos aspectos de su propio campo energético y comprender mejor cómo la energía, la conciencia y la experiencia están **profundamente conectadas.** ✨
⸻
**🌟 Sobre la ponente**
La charla está guiada por la Dra. Ilaria Menapace, científica de formación (PhD en Ciencia de Materiales), coach espiritual y autora de Alquimia Luminosa: De Científica a Sacerdotisa y Sendas Luminosas: De Científica a Sacerdotisa.
Tras una trayectoria académica internacional, su camino la llevó a investigar profundamente la intersección entre ciencia y espiritualidad. Hoy integra el conocimiento académico con prácticas energéticas y herramientas de autoconocimiento para acompañar procesos de evolución personal.
Su enfoque combina claridad científica, intuición y metodologías de sanación para facilitar el desbloqueo del potencial más elevado de cada persona. ✨

Autoengaño Funcional: la Forma Sofisticada de seguir Igual (con Iván Aznar)
**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** ¿Te has dado cuenta de lo sofisticadas que pueden volverse nuestras excusas?
Existe una forma de autoengaño especialmente peligrosa: **el autoengaño funcional**. No es evidente, no es torpe y no se siente como un problema. Al contrario: parece razonable, inteligente y hasta responsable.
En este encuentro exploraremos cómo nuestra mente puede construir narrativas brillantes para mantenernos exactamente donde estamos. Veremos por qué las personas más reflexivas también pueden caer en este patrón… y cómo empezar a detectarlo en uno mismo.
Un espacio incómodo, honesto y provocador para quienes sospechan que **pensar más no siempre significa avanzar más**.
**aportación:** 5€ para gastos de organización.
Te esperamos! :)

Autoengaño funcional – Justificaciones elegantes que mantienen el estancamiento
No todo el autoengaño es evidente.
A veces adopta una forma mucho más sutil:
explicaciones coherentes, decisiones razonables, argumentos bien construidos.
Todo encaja… pero no cambia nada.
Este tipo de patrón no se siente como un problema.
Se siente como madurez, como prudencia, como estar haciendo las cosas bien.
Y precisamente por eso es tan difícil de detectar.
En este encuentro exploraremos cómo la mente puede sostener discursos muy sólidos que, en la práctica, solo sirven para evitar el movimiento real.
Durante la sesión veremos:
– Cómo se construyen narrativas que justifican no avanzar
– Por qué cuanto más reflexionas, más fácil es sostener ciertos bloqueos
– La diferencia entre claridad real y explicación convincente
– Qué señales indican que estás atrapado en un patrón funcional
– Cómo empezar a romper ese ciclo sin entrar en autoexigencia
Este espacio está dirigido a personas que ya han trabajado en sí mismas, que entienden muchas cosas… pero sienten que hay algo que no termina de moverse.
No es una charla motivacional.
Es una invitación a mirarte sin suavizar lo que aparece.
Nos encontramos en la cafetería 365 como punto de encuentro y luego nos movemos a la sala del evento.
Aportación: 5 € (gastos de organización)

Pura Vida y Filosofia
Pura Vida! 🌴✨💭 ¡Bienvenid@s a este rincón de pura buena onda en Barcelona! Aquí nos juntamos para charlar de lo profundo y lo ligero: filosofía que nos hace pensar, felicidad que se siente en el cuerpo y alma, y ese arte de vivir con bienestar real (inspirado en la esencia costarricense de "Pura Vida": una vida simple, agradecida, llena de alegría y sin estrés innecesario). Hablaremos de preguntas grandes como ¿qué significa ser feliz de verdad?, ¿cómo equilibrar mente, energía y emociones?, mindfulness, sabiduría antigua, energía vital... y cómo todo esto se conecta con el día a día en esta ciudad mágica. Todo en un ambiente relajado, abierto y sin juicios – mezcla de deep talks, risas, ideas locas y buena vibra. Ideal para pensadores curiosos, buscadores de paz interior, o simplemente quien quiera conectar con gente interesante. ¡Locals, expats, hablantes de español/inglés/catalán – todos bienvenidos! No hace falta ser experto en filosofía: solo ganas de compartir, escuchar y salir con más luz interior. 🌿😊
**Cuota de participación:** 5€ por encuentro (ayuda a cubrir el espacio y mi proyecto social - o mantenemos cozy y sostenible!)

**SENDERISMO ARTÍSTICO**
El caminar conscientemente como práctica estética, y no sólo como tránsito entre dos puntos, nos descubre una rica gama de facetas en la experimentación del paisaje.
**Paisaje multisensorial:** Sentir también el paisaje táctil, auditivo y olfativo, trabaja nuestra personalidad perceptiva y creativa.

**Burbuja temporal:** Estar en el presente aislad@ de pasado y futuro.
**URBAN SKETCHING**
Es la práctica de dibujar aquello que te rodea. Consiste en plasmar tu **visión personal** de tu mundo inmediato, o de los lugares a los que viajas. Es una narrativa de la vida cotidiana: ese café que te motiva, las calles o parques que recorres y te inspiran, etc.
Boceta **sin miedo** a equivocarte, salte de lo figurativo y lo realista para experimentar el estilo con el que mejor te lo pases.
**Vente a la aventura de experimentar!**

Anxiety Transformation Pathway (Part 2): Mastering the Thinking Patterns
🔥 What if your anxiety isn’t caused by your situation… but by how you think about it? 🧠
💡In this follow-up session, Chris Collingwood takes the conversation deeper into the cognitive processes that generate anxiety. While many people focus on managing symptoms, this session uncovers the thinking patterns, internal dialogue, and mental habits that create anxious states in the first place.
By understanding how your mind constructs anxiety through specific thought loops, interpretations, and predictions, you gain the power to interrupt and transform them. This session is designed for those ready to move beyond awareness—and into precision-level mindset mastery and emotional control.
📅Join us this Sunday, May 3, for “Anxiety Transformation Pathway (Part 2): Mastering the Thinking Patterns Behind Anxiety” with Chris Collingwood, and discover how to take control of the cognitive processes that create anxiety and transform them into clarity and calm.
🎯 KEY POINTS / TAKEAWAYS FOR THE AUDIENCE
✅Understand the thinking patterns that trigger and sustain anxiety
✅Identify common cognitive distortions and mental loops
✅Learn how your internal dialogue influences emotional states
✅Discover how to interrupt anxious thinking in real time
✅Gain clarity on how perception shapes your experience
✅Build awareness of how thoughts create physiological responses
🚀 ADDITIONAL KEY POINTS / BENEFITS
✅Develop the ability to reframe and redirect anxious thoughts instantly
✅Strengthen your mental resilience and emotional regulation
✅Learn practical NLP-based tools for thought pattern transformation
✅Move from reactive thinking to intentional, empowered thinking
✅Increase confidence in handling uncertainty and future-focused fears
✅Create a more calm, focused, and resourceful mental state daily
🎙ABOUT THE SPEAKER🎙
Chris Collingwood has been involved in learning and teaching NLP since 1979. He studied with all the major early developers of NLP and, together with his partner Jules Collingwood, brought NLP co-creator Dr. John Grinder and his partner Carmen Bostic to Australia for many years.
Chris and Jules designed, developed, and accredited the first government-recognized postgraduate qualification in NLP. Their graduate certificate in NLP teaches NLP from first principles, enabling students to master NLP and apply it in their own language and style.

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 acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t 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 “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t 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?

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
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: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room.
This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us.
COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.
***
Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'!
Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life.
Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio.
Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision.
