**(Castellano)** Sabemos que dar el primer paso para conocer gente nueva puede dar un poco de vértigo, especialmente si te consideras una persona introvertida o simplemente sientes que no encajas en los eventos sociales convencionales. En **Entre Humanos**, nuestra prioridad no es solo que "vengas", sino que te sientas **visto, incluido y cómodo**. En esta ocasión nos encontraremos en el local **Dreambote** en la zona de Poblenou. En este caso el encuentro será mas relajado y conversacional. Si te apetece algo de diversión mas intensa (Con las maquinas recreativas y futbolines/billares) apúntate al evento de la próxima semana en el **Next Level Arcade Bar**. ### ✨ ¿De qué trata este encuentro? La idea es sencilla: nos reunimos en un local acogedor de Barcelona para charlar y compartir un buen rato. Aquí no hay presiones. * **Ven solo o con un amigo:** Este evento está diseñado para romper el hielo. Si vienes solo, ¡perfecto! Esa es la esencia. Pedimos que las parejas se abstengan. * **Un espacio seguro para todos:** Somos especialmente receptivos con quienes se sienten "diferentes" o pertenecen a minorías. * **Idioma:** Nos enfocamos en el **Español o Catalán** para crear una comunidad local sólida. Todos son bienvenidos, pero pedimos que hagan el esfuerzo de hablar estos idiomas. * **Consumición:** Pedimos una consumición mínima (**3-5€**) para agradecer al local que nos ceda el espacio. ### 📍 Instrucciones al llegar Para que no tengas que entrar al local buscando caras conocidas, **nuestro organizador estará fuera, justo en la entrada**, para recibirte. > **¿Cómo reconocerlo?** Busca al anfitrión que estará esperándote en la puerta, dile que vienes al Meetup. Él/ella te dará las indicaciones y te acompañará dentro para presentarte al grupo para que te sientas integrado en todo momento. ### 🙎‍♂️ Quien está detrás de todo esto Soy Edgar Ochandorena. He creado este grupo para unir a la comunidad que me sigue en Instagram (**@edgarochandorena**) con encuentros presenciales. Como alguien introvertido que también ha necesitado estos espacios, mi propósito es acompañarte a ampliar tu círculo social. Mi objetivo es que conectes con personas afines desde la autenticidad, sin sentir que tienes que traicionarte a ti mismo para encajar. * **Mi Whatsapp**: +34 638 131 953 (Para cualquier duda) ### ❓ Preguntas Frecuentes (FAQ) * **¿Hay límite de edad?** No hay límite; toda persona adulta es bienvenida. Sin embargo, para que lo tengas en cuenta, la edad recomendada de nuestro grupo suele oscilar entre los **30 y 50 años**. * **¿Puedo llegar tarde?** Sí, puedes llegar cuando quieras, pero ten en cuenta que el acceso está sujeto al **aforo del local**. Si se llena, no podremos dejar entrar a más personas por seguridad. ¡Mejor llegar puntual! * **¿Cómo sigo en contacto con la gente?** Una vez dentro, nuestro anfitrión te facilitará el acceso a nuestro **grupo de WhatsApp**. La idea es que uses este evento como trampolín para crear tus propias amistades y asistir con ellos a los demás eventos que organizamos. Por otro lado, si estás en el grupo, tendrás prioridad para asistir a los eventos. **(Català)** Sabem que fer el primer pas per conèixer gent nova pot fer una mica de vertigen, especialment si et consideres una persona introvertida o simplement sents que no encaixes en els esdeveniments socials convencionals. A Entre Humanos, la nostra prioritat no és només que "vinguis", sinó que et sentis vist, inclòs i còmode. En aquesta ocasió ens trobarem al local Dreambote, a la zona del Poblenou. En aquest cas, la trobada serà més relaxada i conversacional. Si et ve de gust una mica de diversió més intensa (amb les màquines recreatives i futbolins/billars), apunta't a l'esdeveniment de la setmana vinent al Next Level Arcade Bar. ### ✨ **De què tracta aquesta trobada?** La idea és senzilla: ens reunim en un local acollidor de Barcelona per xerrar i compartir una bona estona. Aquí no hi ha pressions. * **Vine sol o amb un amic:** Aquest esdeveniment està dissenyat per trencar el gel. Si vens sol, perfecte! Aquesta és l'essència. Demanem que les parelles s'abstinguin. * **Un espai segur per a tothom:** Som especialment receptius amb els qui es senten "diferents" o pertanyen a minories. * **Idioma:** Ens enfoquem en l'espanyol o el català per crear una comunitat local sòlida. Tothom és benvingut, però demanem que es faci l'esforç de parlar aquests idiomes. * **Consumició:** Demanem una consumició mínima (3-5€) per agrair al local que ens cedeixi l'espai. ### 📍 **Instruccions en arribar** Perquè no hagis d'entrar al local buscant cares conegudes, el nostre organitzador estarà a fora, just a l'entrada, per rebre't. > **Com reconèixer-lo?** Busca l'amfitrió que estarà esperant-te a la porta i digues-li que vens al Meetup. Ell/a et donarà les indicacions i t'acompanyarà a dins per presentar-te al grup, perquè et sentis integrat en tot moment. ### 🙎‍♂️ **Qui hi ha darrere de tot això** Sóc l'Edgar Ochandorena. He creat aquest grup per unir la comunitat que em segueix a Instagram (@edgarochandorena) amb trobades presencials. Com a algú introvertit que també ha necessitat aquests espais, el meu propòsit és acompanyar-te a ampliar el teu cercle social. El meu objectiu és que connectis amb persones afins des de l'autenticitat, sense sentir que t'has de trair a tu mateix per encaixar. El meu WhatsApp: +34 638 131 953 (Per a qualsevol dubte) ### ❓ **Preguntes Freqüents (FAQ)** * **Hi ha límit d'edat?** No hi ha límit; qualsevol persona adulta és benvinguda. No obstant això, perquè ho tinguis en compte, l'edat recomanada del nostre grup sol oscil·lar entre els 30 i els 50 anys. * **Puc arribar tard?** Sí, pots arribar quan vulguis, però tingues en compte que l'accés està subjecte a l'aforament del local. Si s'omple, no podrem deixar entrar més persones per seguretat. Millor arribar puntual! * **Com continuo en contacte con la gent?** Un cop a dins, el nostre amfitrió et facilitarà l'accés al nostre grup de WhatsApp. La idea és que utiitzis aquest esdeveniment com a trampolí per crear les teves pròpies amistats i assistir amb ells a la resta d'esdeveniments que organitzem. D'altra banda, si estàs al grup, tindràs prioritat per assistir als esdeveniments.

This is a group for adults who want to ground in nature and connect to their creative selves in a warm and supportive environment. We'll meet weekly for 13 weeks (beginning June 26th) at a goat farm in Silver Spring, MD. We'll begin with a goat walk. That's right, we'll walk through the woods with goats and then focus on the chapters of Julia Cameron's book, *Walking in This World.* Maybe you want to dive deeper after having completed a facilitated group based on Cameron's first book, *The Artist's Way* or you want to jump right into exploring your inner landscape through writing and grounding in nature. You don't have to be a self-proclaimed or professional writer or artist to join. Just bring your curiosity, a copy of the book, something to write with and a commitment to attend all sessions if possible. Since the in-person portion of the group will be held at a private residence, I'll email registrants the address once they've signed up. Please dress in comfy clothes that might possibly be nibbled on by adorable goats, as the residence is also a goat farm. Wear closed toed shoes and feel free to bring water, a snack for yourself, bug spray and sunblock. In-person attendees will meet at 7 am. In the event of more than light rain, we'll skip goat walks and meet in the indoor office. There is an indoor bathroom on-site. For those joining on-line, plan to join at 7:30 am. You'll also need something to write with and a copy of the book.

…Transform Our Lives, Work, and World (2024) by Jamie Metzl, 432 pages [Genetics] • Paperback • Hardcover • Kindle • Audiobook • Library: [https://fcplcat.fairfaxcounty.gov/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.1&pos=1&cn=615082](https://fcplcat.fairfaxcounty.gov/search/title.aspx?ctx=1.1033.0.0.1&pos=1&cn=615082) Check the How To Find Us section for Zoom Link **(Remember, the Zoom Link is different each month, do not bookmark)** ### Review “In Superconvergence, Jamie Metzl takes readers on a magical journey through the science of the intersecting genetics, biotech, and AI revolutions, deeply explores the implications, and challenges us to think creatively and proactively about what comes next. Very few books are absolute must-reads. This is one.”―Siddhartha Mukherjee, assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University and author of The Gene: An Intimate History "During the 25 years I have known Jamie Metzl, he has always been ahead of the curve. There is no one better to help us understand and prepare for the fast-approaching technological revolutions. Superconvergence is brilliant. I can't recommend it more strongly."―Sanjay Gupta MD, bestseller author, neurosurgeon, and Emmy-award winning chief medical correspondent (CNN) "Our world is defined by our science and technology—whether we like it or not. The question now is not whether to use these powers, but how best to use them. In Superconvergence, Jamie Metzl takes us on a journey through the new capabilities that are radically transforming ecosystems inside us and around us, challenging each of us to get personally involved with building the future we want."―Beth Shapiro, University of California Santa Cruz evolutionary biologist and author of Life as We Made It: How 50,000 Years of Human Innovation Refined―and Redefined―Nature "In a fine counter-blast to the pessimism of today, Jamie Metzl lays out just how spectacular the future of humanity and planet can be if we harness innovation responsibly and imaginatively to create what he calls the 'spiral of progress.'"―Matt Ridley, author of How Innovation Works, and co-author of Viral: The search for the Origin of Covid-19 “A page-turning journey through space and time that shows us how our lives will be changed by imminent technological advances we once only dreamed of.”―David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, and author of Lifespan: Why We Age―and Why We Don't Have To “The superconvergence of the genetics, biotechnology, and AI revolutions provides spectacular opportunities for building a better world. It also represents an almost limitless investment opportunity. We were excited to collaborate with Jamie Metzl, one of the world's great experts on how these aspirations can best be realized, including in capital markets. Superconvergence is a master class for imagining, investing in, and building a future we'd like to inhabit."―Jeremy Schwartz, Global Chief Investment Officer, WisdomTree “A clear examination of a transitional moment in the story of life on Earth…. Metzl capably describes recent developments in genetics and biotech and looks at how AI is providing an analytical engine of unprecedented power…. An important book in which the author sets out a path for the future based on his experience and expertise.”―Kirkus “Erudite, optimistic, and timely.”―Science Magazine "[In Superconvergence] Mr. Metzl has identified an important truth: that the convergence of new technologies is galvanizing us to reimagine how to meet urgent challenges in medicine and the environment. It’s a compelling opportunity—provided we manage to sidestep self-induced catastrophes along the way."―The Wall Street Journal ### About the Author Jamie Metzl is a leading technology and healthcare futurist and the founder and chair of OneShared.World. He is the author of Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity and four other books and was a member of the World Health Organization expert advisory committee on human genome editing.

Hello Everybody! Join us this Saturday at 11 AM at the Fairfax Wegmans as we continue our Bible study and discussions. Recently, we've been studying the "types" (patterns or pictures) of Jesus in the Old Testament in chronological order starting with creation. We will go all the way to David as a type of Jesus the King. As anyone who's attended before knows, we have open discussions. Our goal is always to grow in our love, knowledge, and relationship with Jesus and to have fellowship. We invite the presence of the Holy Spirit as we meet together and we've had some great conversations and revelations. Please join us as we continue our Bible study and prayers.
