**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 6-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:30-19:45 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start. * 19:45-19:55 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:55-21:15 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 21:15-21:30 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:30 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! At the Barcelona group, we often meet in a friends house. In this case, we ask that everyone bring a snack or a drink to share! **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** **🗣** “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * **​What will we talk about? What's the topic?** **​**The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z). * **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?** No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?** The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * **Is it mostly men that attend?** Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * **Can I come alone?** Of course you can, we encourage it :) * **Can I be late?** Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * **Where do you meet?** The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group!

*Please send me a message or call to book your place in the session, and let me know if you need to arrange a different time. Thank you!* About I absolutely love creating intuitive collages with people! It is an accessible and beautiful art form that is easy, efficient, fun and expressive. To create an intuitive collage, we simply cut out, glue and assemble various images to create a brand new picture. It does not need to make rational sense - it's all about letting go and allowing our intuition to guide us. Collage therapy involves the free-associative choosing of imagery and words, and recycling. Because collage is a projective technique, creating without preconceived intentions allows us to tap into our unconscious thoughts and emotions. The practical benefits of collage are: * Collages are easy to create, and no artistic skills are required. The emotional benefits of collage are: * Intuitive collage bypasses our censoring mind and can surprise us with new information about our inner life. * It provides a "symbolic release" of emotions, even if we are not yet conscious of what they are. * Collage can help us to "meet" and accept the inner parts of ourselves that we do not normally express from our socialized self. * It expresses the various aspects of our personality in visual form, helping us to understand, organize and sort out our "inner landscape" so that we can witness it compassionately. * The imagery and colors in an intuitive collage can reveal emotions more powerfully than verbal self-expression. We can FEEL imagery on nonverbal levels. About me Hi, I'm Valentina - an artist, Creative Art Therapist, yoga, dance, and pilates teacher. Originally from Latin America, I've lived in New York, London, and now Barcelona for a while. I draw inspiration from traveling and sharing the art-making process with people to help them expand their creative potential. As an artist and teacher, I've traveled the world and always carry color pencils and a block to socialize in creative ways! I believe that each one of us is inherently creative and infused with the gift of imagination to shape our experience into creative expression.

Thank you very much 🙏🏻 Evening we gather to practice the **Osho Dynamic Meditation.** This meditation is one of the most transformative practices that Osho offered to the world. In Ashram's all around the world it is the first sadhana practiced to start off the day. As the name indicates it's an **active meditation** which consists of five stages. All different stages constitute **a perfect combination to balance our inner energy and to recover our vitality**. The practice includes **breathwork, emotional release, bio-energetic practice, mental training and dance flow.** Metaphorically it is described as an exercise of unblocking the pipes, since **we allow stuck energy to flow again throughout our body**, brining back the totality within. **Some quotes** on people who practices it: *"After practicing this meditation **I feel like a second beginning of the day.** Like waking up from a dream but now feeling much much lighter, much more awake, I feel in peace, I feel engaged in the immensity of this present moment"* *"After sometime practicing this meditation I feel I can spot my mind when is trying to create suffering and let the thought go. I feel I can live much more in the present, I feel **I have let go many of my attachments and addictions**, I feel much more connected to my self"* Spanish Comunidad en Whatsapp https://chat.whatsapp.com/IgTpa0dK7wiKws1P7Gl97N Debes confirmar tu cita en este número de contacto +34 646220467 vía WhatsApp. Puede que no queden plazas disponibles por haberse completado el aforo.

Esta meditación es una de las prácticas más transformadoras que Osho ofreció al mundo. En los Ashram de todo el mundo es la primera sadhana que se practica para empezar el dia. Como su nombre lo indica, se trata de una **meditación activa** que consta de cinco etapas. Todas ellas constituyen **una combinación perfecta para equilibrar nuestra energía interior y recuperar nuestra vitalidad**. La práctica incluye **trabajo de respiración, liberación emocional, práctica bioenergética, entrenamiento mental y flujo de danza**. Metafóricamente se describe como un ejercicio de desbloqueo de las tuberías, ya que **permitimos que la energía estancada fluya de nuevo por nuestro cuerpo**, trayendo de vuelta la totalidad a nuestro interior. **Algunas citas** de personas que la practican: *"Después de practicar esta meditación **me siento como un segundo comienzo del día.** Como despertar de un sueño pero ahora sintiéndome mucho más ligero, mucho más despierto, me siento en paz, me siento involucrado en la inmensidad de este momento presente"* \*"Después de practicar esta meditación durante un tiempo, siento que puedo detectar mi mente cuando está tratando de crear sufrimiento y dejar ir el pensamiento. Siento que puedo vivir mucho más en el presente, siento que **he dejado ir muchos de mis apegos y adicciones**, me siento mucho más conectado conmigo mismo"
