**What is it?** I offer a 1 hour coaching session, for free, while a walk in the park. Whether you have already tried coaching before and want more, or are simply curious to try, this is for you. (only available to 1 person at a time) **What is coaching for?** Coaching can be useful if you: * Lack **clarity** about your **goals** (big and small) * Want more without knowing what (**nor why**) * Wish to make **changes** in your life (but not sure **where to start**) Think of: career setbacks, big decisions, preparing life transitions (big and small), relationships, self doubts, lack of direction, feeling stuck, clarifying goals, reassess priorities, and more. **How does it work?** You control the content of the session, and I control the process of the session. You decide what topics you wish to discuss, I won't pry anything from you.

Vengan con ganas de tomar buena cerveza.

Vivís trabajando desde la compu, cambiando cafés como oficina, o soñás con emprender pero todavía no arrancaste? Este espacio es para vos. La idea es simple: **hacer un stop** al laburo, respirar un poco, bajar revoluciones y conectar con personas que viven (o quieren vivir) la misma onda. Nómadas digitales, freelancers, creadores, emprendedores… y también los que están en ese limbo de “quiero pero no sé por dónde empezar”. Todos son bienvenidos. Acá no venís a vender nada ni a “cazar clientes”. Venís a charlar, compartir experiencias, entender que no estás solo/a en este estilo de vida medio caótico pero hermoso. Historias reales, ideas, frustraciones, aprendizajes, risas, oportunidades… lo que surja. **Y sí: prohibido usar el celular.** Queremos que te desconectes del trabajo por un ratito y te conectes con personas de carne y hueso. (Si necesitás un traductor o hay una emergencia, obvio se permite 😂). La vibra es relajada: vos traé ganas de hablar, de escuchar y de abrir un poco tu mundo. Capaz salís con un amigo nuevo, una idea fresca, o simplemente con energía renovada para seguir creando. 📍 **Viernes 4–6 pm – Green Eat (Florida 201, CABA)** 💸 **Costo simbólico: $5.000 ARS** (No es obligatorio consumir nada). Caé solo/a o vení con alguien. Todos llegamos igual: con ganas de conectar un rato y tomar aire del laburo. *** ## Working remotely, living with your laptop as your sidekick, hopping from café to café, or dreaming about starting your own project? Then this hangout is totally your place. The goal is simple: **press pause** on work, breathe a little, and connect with people who get your lifestyle. Digital nomads, freelancers, creatives, entrepreneurs… and also the “I want to be one but I’m not there yet” crew. Everyone’s welcome. This isn’t a sales event or a pitch session. It’s a space to talk, share stories, exchange ideas, laugh, learn, and realize you’re not the only one navigating this wild but beautiful way of living. **And yes: phones are off-limits.** We want you to disconnect from work for a moment and reconnect with actual humans. (Emergencies or translator rescues allowed, of course 😂). The vibe is easy-going: bring your curiosity, your voice, your questions, your experiences — whatever you feel like sharing. You might walk out with a new friend, a new idea, or just a lighter mind. 📍 **Friday 4–6 pm – Green Eat (Florida 201, CABA)** 💸 **Symbolic contribution: $5.000 ARS** (No purchase required). Come alone or with someone. Everyone arrives the same way: ready to pause work and connect for a while.

# **Band: Firefly Trace, caller Kenny Greer** Beginner lesson at 7:30, regular dancing begins at 8:00 **Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
