Pura Vida! 🌴✨💭 ¡Bienvenid@s a este rincón de pura buena onda en Barcelona! Aquí nos juntamos para charlar de lo profundo y lo ligero: filosofía que nos hace pensar, felicidad que se siente en el cuerpo y alma, y ese arte de vivir con bienestar real (inspirado en la esencia costarricense de "Pura Vida": una vida simple, agradecida, llena de alegría y sin estrés innecesario). Hablaremos de preguntas grandes como ¿qué significa ser feliz de verdad?, ¿cómo equilibrar mente, energía y emociones?, mindfulness, sabiduría antigua, energía vital... y cómo todo esto se conecta con el día a día en esta ciudad mágica. Todo en un ambiente relajado, abierto y sin juicios – mezcla de deep talks, risas, ideas locas y buena vibra. Ideal para pensadores curiosos, buscadores de paz interior, o simplemente quien quiera conectar con gente interesante. ¡Locals, expats, hablantes de español/inglés/catalán – todos bienvenidos! No hace falta ser experto en filosofía: solo ganas de compartir, escuchar y salir con más luz interior. 🌿😊 **Cuota de participación:** 5€ por encuentro (ayuda a cubrir el espacio y mi proyecto social - o mantenemos cozy y sostenible!) Próximos encuentros pronto – en parques soleados, cafés con encanto o rincones tranquilos de Barcelona. ¡Ven a vivir un poco más Pura Vida con nosotros! RSVP y únete a la aventura 💫 #PuraVidaBarcelona #FelicidadYFilosofia #BienestarReal #FilosofiaBarcelona #AcupunctureVibes #VidaConsciente

Come assist Van Buren Shelter (https://ymcacolumbus.org/locations/vanburen) staff in serving dinners and cleaning up on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Dinner for the women is 5-6 pm and for the families is 6:15-7:15 pm. There is ample free parking available in the shelter's lot. The recommended area to park is in green in the image above. There will be a new entrance for the time being. We are asking all volunteers to enter through the Donation Dock door, the orange mark on the image above. This door is located between the Single Adults and Family Shelter. You will see 2 large garage doors with a large green trash compactor in the center. Please head to the closest garage door to the building wall, with a ramp leading up. There, you will see a door with a sign stating instructions on how to enter the building. Please ring the doorbell, and a staff member will come and escort you into the building. If a staff member takes longer than 5 minutes, please call the front desk at 614-689-2020. This is a new process for us, and we do not want to keep you waiting! We appreciate your patience as we navigate this temporary change. The shelter needs a volunteer count the day before the event so sign-up ends Monday at 4:50 PM. Afterwards some of us go to the Omnipresent Atheists Weekly Meetup in progress to have a bit to eat or drink (http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/). Volunteers must be 14 or older. Since we will be working around families, the YMCA does not permit volunteering by individuals with convictions for violent or sexual crimes. The YMCA reserves the right to run background checks on volunteers. For questions, comment on this page or contact: Andrew, awhit12@yahoo.com, (614)937-5802 (cell). Please let Andrew know if you volunteer anytime other than our COUNT events so that he can count your hours toward our service record.
