ENGLISH! WEDNESDAY / The Central House - Philosophy Meetup: 19:30h - 21h
Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup!
Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue?
If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you.
• WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT?
At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method)
We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts.
The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives.
Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others.
A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning.
• WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP?
Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view.
Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups:
* What ideals are worth dying for?
* Why are we never satisfied?
* Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is?
* Is identity necessary?
* How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others)
* What is friendship?
• WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP?
Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory.
Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue.
The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

Iniciación a la meditación y gestión de las emociones.
Sesiones que incluyen un primer centramiento de 20 minutos de
meditación guiada y un diálogo de participación voluntaria para
compartir emociones, situaciones o experiencias que necesitan ser
cuidadas y acompañadas.
El espacio lo encontramos en la casa Ámbar al lado de plaza Lesseps.
La mayoría de participantes no nos llegan desde MeetUp. No te dejes influenciar por el hecho de que veas pocos asistentes en esta aplicación. ;-)
Las salidas del laberinto (Música y Filosofía): ¿Sueños compartidos?
!Unete a este evento Excepcional! Dos mundos llenos de infinitas maravillas se juntan para que florezca un dialogo común sobre cuestiónes centrales para nuestra vida colectiva.
Gracias al Filosofo del dialogo Emanuele Profumi, y al trovador cubano William Rey, Musica y Filosofia marcharán unidas para inspirar a los participantes nuevas ideas, dudas positivas o viejas certezas, para que se comparten en una investigaciòn dialogica que no tenga miedo de entrar en el laberinto del pensar sintiendo e imaginando.
El tema de este tercer taller-evento es una pregunta siempre actual, a la cual se tendría que contestar a nivel intimo y no solo: ¿Soledad?
Gracias a las musicas de Silvio Rodriguez y de otros musicos relevantes de nuestro presente, entraremos en el laberinto de esta cuestión, para orientarnos e intentar encontrar una o mas salidas del laberinto.
El coste del evento-taller es de 8 euros. Se requiere también una libre consumición al café para participar (aunque solo un agua). Aforo limitado (20 personas).
Para reservar hay que enviar un mensaje whatsapp a este numero: +34 613937727.
!Os esperamos!
Meditación Budista guiada
¿Qué hacemos?
A las 20:00h tenemos una meditación budista guiada. La meditación tiene una duración de unos 25 minutos y es accesible y beneficiosa para personas de todos los niveles de experiencia.
¡AVISO! Si es tu primer dia te esperamos 10 minutos antes. ¡Estaremos encatados de recibirte!
¿Qué es el Camino del Diamante?
El Buda dio instrucciones a tres clases de personas. Las primeras que deseaban evitar el sufrimiento recibieron las enseñanzas sobre Causa y Efecto, llamadas Camino Angosto (Hinayana). El segundo tipo de personas sentía la necesidad de beneficiar a los demás, por lo que les dio enseñanzas sobre compasión y sabiduría, llamadas Gran Camino (Mahayana). Finalmente a las personas que tenían una confianza sólida en su propio potencial y en de los demás, el Buda explicó enseñanzas del Camino del Diamante (Vajrayana). En este último nivel utilizamos métodos de identificación con la meta y actuamos como un Buda hasta que llegamos a ser como él. En el nivel más elevado, la meta, es el completo desarrollo de la mente, a lo cual denominó el Gran Sello (Mahamudra).
¿Quiénes somos?
El Centro Budista Camino del Diamante de Barcelona forma parte de los más de 700 centros de meditación a nivel internacional de la tradición Karma Kagyu del Budismo Tibetano. Estos centros han sido fundados y guiados por Lama Ole Nydahl y su esposa Hannah Nydahl, de acuerdo con los deseos de H. H. XVI Karmapa. Ahora están bajo la guía espiritual de H.H. XVII Gyalwa Karmapa, Trinley Thaye Dorje.
Nuestro centro está formado por personas que tienen sus propios trabajos e incorporan las enseñanzas y las meditaciones del Camino del Diamante en sus vidas cotidianas. Nuestros miembros comparten la responsabilidad de guiar meditaciones, contestar preguntas y dar explicaciones sobre budismo.
Nuestro trabajo no es remunerado y se basa en el idealismo y la amistad. Realizamos noches semanales de meditación, que están abiertas al público y son gratuitas. Hay un ambiente social relajado y se animan las preguntas.
Las meditaciones son guiadas en castellano, permitiendo que el espacio, la claridad y la alegría surjan naturalmente. Otras actividades incluyen charlas, enseñanzas y práctica personal.
INFORMACIÓN COVID-19

CLASE ABIERTA DE MEDITACIÓN Y BUDISMO
El Buda expresa en el Dhammapada que 'la mente entrenada trae felicidad'. La Meditación Budista calma la turbulencia de la mente y nos permite moldearla para así llevarla a estados de conciencia mas sublimes.
Durante las clases tomamos turnos entre enseñando dos prácticas de meditación esenciales, la metta bhavana o el desarrollo del amor incondicional y el seguimiento de la respiración (mindfulness) o el cultivo de la atención plena. También ofrecemos una breve charla de 15 minutos sobre un aspecto del budismo.
Estas clases son una excelente manera de probar la meditación. No hace falta reservar. Ven cuando quieras.
**La clase es adecuada para principiantes o aquellos con experiencia.**

Curso Filosófico: n. 8 Ética del cambio dialógico. Online
Curso de Filosofía de la ecología humana
Las raíces de la transformación humana
¿Qué entendemos por Cambio dialògico? ¿ De que tipo de transformación radical se trata? ¿Qué posibilidades tenemos los seres humanos de transformarnos con el dialógo?
Esta clase de filosofía de la ecología humana pretende responder a estas y otras preguntas, planteando a los participantes nuevas e importantes cuestiones sobre nuestras posibilidades reales e impensadas de autotransformación. Será un recorrido crítico y problemático por algunas de las teorías, ideas y filosofías contemporáneas más relevantes que han puesto de relieve la importancia de la transformación radical, en una época de grandes cambios científicos, políticos y sociales. Acompañados por el filósofo Emanuele Profumi, el curso se desarrollará siguiendo una evolución argumentativa precisa, permitiendo a quienes tienen una formación filosófica enriquecer su bagaje de conocimientos y cuestiones que profundizar, y a quienes no tienen formación filosófica orientarse y pensar gracias a la filosofía, descubriendo sorprendentes formas de pensar nuestra condición humana y nuestras posibilidades como seres humanos.

BILINGÜE CATALÀ/ESPANYOL! DIVENDRES / CAFÈ - Meetup de filosofia: 19:15
**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.**
Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè!
Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu.
Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol.
**ON ENS TROBEM?**
Café de l'Opera (NOMES 3 ABRIL!)
**QUAN ENS TROBEM**
Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45
Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment
**QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM**
Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana
**QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS**
A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic:[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_metho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method)d. Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi
**QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS**
Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors
\- Per quins ideals val la pena morir
\- Per què mai estem satisfets
\- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual
\- És necessària la identitat
\- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia
\- Què és la postveritat
\- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\- Què és l'amistat
**QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP**
Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós

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!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
