[Únete a nuestro grupo de Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DUg0NDBb4IhG50CVm9gDiW?mode=gi_t) **Volver a encontrarse: un encuentro para hablar de lo que importa** Inspirado en el estudio del psicólogo Arthur Aron sobre la generación experimental de cercanía interpersonal, este encuentro propone una experiencia diferente: **comprobar si la intimidad entre personas puede acelerarse** cuando nos atrevemos a hacernos las preguntas adecuadas. A través de una selección guiada de las famosas *preguntas*, dos personas —o pequeños grupos— se sumergen en un espacio seguro, estructurado y profundamente humano, donde lo importante no es “quedar bien”, sino **conectar de verdad**. Este no es un evento de networking, ni una dinámica superficial. Es una invitación a parar, mirar al otro sin prisa y permitir que aparezca algo más auténtico: escucha, vulnerabilidad y presencia. **Qué vas a vivir:** * Conversaciones guiadas que van de lo ligero a lo profundamente personal * Un entorno diseñado para generar confianza y cercanía real * Dinámicas inspiradas en investigación científica sobre la intimidad “Volver a encontrarse” es una experiencia para quienes sienten que las conversaciones importantes se están perdiendo en la vida cotidiana… y quieren recuperarlas. **Porque a veces, la distancia entre dos personas no se mide en metros, sino en preguntas que nunca se hicieron.** **Solo 5€ en efectivo Sorteo regalo al final**

​​Most history tours in Barcelona focus entirely on Roman ruins, Gothic cathedrals, and buildings created by Gaudí. This tour looks at the same streets but asks a completely different question: Where did the money come from to build this city, and whose stories were erased to tell the official one? ​Led by Angie Molina (an architect, museologist, and researcher) and Camila Opazo Sepúlveda (an archaeologist, anthropologist, and researcher), the walk unpacks the deep, often hidden connections between Barcelona and the global colonial system. ​Some of the themes and history we will explore include: \- ​The Architecture of Wealth \- ​Human Zoos in the City \- ​Statues and Public Memory \- ​Resistance and Agency ​🗺️ About the Tour ​This project is run by two women PhD researchers from South America. They pull back the curtain on Barcelona's traditional history, exploring the hidden colonial ties, wealth, and global stories built right into the streets we walk every day. ​📅 **The Details** **​When**: Saturday, July 4th at 18:00 (6:00 PM) **​Language**: English 🇬🇧 **​Cost:** €20 per person (all proceeds will directly to the guides. This is a non-profit project; 100% of the fee goes to supporting their independent academic research and keeping the project alive ) **​Where:** Meeting point around Las Ramblas (details will be sent one day before the tour)

**Cuando pensar más no es la solución.** Todos hemos pasado por ahí: listas interminables, análisis excesivo y la sensación de que, por muchas vueltas que le demos a una idea, no termina de encajar. El pensamiento lineal tiene un límite. Para llegar a donde la lógica no alcanza, hay que cambiar de canal. **Fuera de Mapa** es una experiencia de Pensamiento Tangible®, que convierte lo que tienes en la cabeza, ideas, dudas, intuiciones sin nombre, en algo que puedes ver, tocar y transformar. **Lo práctico, antes de nada:** * Plaça de Maragall 8, Barcelona * 75 € por persona **✨ Entrada Para dos - precio de lanzamiento ✨** * Grupo exclusivo, máximo 8 personas por ahora. * Incluye todos los materiales (materiales diversos para crear tu Brújula Personal para llevar a casa, y copas de vino y snacks). **Qué pasa en la sesión:** Vamos a conversar de manera diferente, a reconectar, a jugar con ideas y posibilidades y a mirar lo que te importa desde otro lugar. Trabajaremos con las manos y con materiales diversos para dar forma a lo que te mueve y quieres crear. **Qué te llevas:** Aparte de la experiencia y claridad, tu Brújula Personal. Saldrás con una pieza física creada por ti. No es un adorno; es el recordatorio táctil de tus próximos pasos. Un objeto que tu cerebro reconoce como una decisión ya tomada. Y, además, un método para toda la vida.

Want to learn pickleball in a fun, low-pressure setting? I’m hosting a free beginner-friendly meetup at Olentangy Parklands to help new players learn the basics and get comfortable on the court. I’m a pretty skilled player and will walk everyone through the essentials, including rules, scoring, serving, basic strategy, and how to start playing real games. No experience needed. We’ll meet on the upper courts. Bring a pickleball paddle if you have one. If not, no problem, I’ll have some extras available for people to use. This event is meant for beginners and anyone curious about trying pickleball for the first time. Come ready to move, learn, and have fun.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
