Work At Home

#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Focus Filmtheater): you can either purchase your ticket online or right before the session# **Title**: The Love That Remains **Language**: Icelandic **Subtitles**: English **Length**: 109 min **Director**: Hlynur Pálmason **More info**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/agenda/english-subs-the-love-that-remains/ **Ticket link**: https://www.focusarnhem.nl/tickets/140394/ **Synopsis**: Anna and Magnus are getting a divorce. Nevertheless, they still spend time together regularly for the benefit of their three children, Ída, and the twins, Þorgils and Grímur. Magnus works at sea and is often away from home for long periods of time. Artist Anna creates impressive works of art that do not get the recognition they deserve. In search of meaning, both parents go their separate ways in this new, strange reality. But what happens to the love that remains after a break-up? **How it works**: I will be at Focus around 18:30, where we can meet before the movie starts. You can message me to find us. Screening starts at 19:00. After the movie, we can have a drink together. Hope to see you soon!

Happy New Year everyone! 🌊 Please feel welcome to join this experimental "Success Team". The last event was cancelled due to magical ❄️ weather, so this is only the fourth meeting ever. You can find us at Rosa Buurtcentrum (2nd floor, left hand, last door; there is a lift). There will be \*hot\* tea and you are welcome (but not required) to bring snacks. –See you then! \*\*\* Help wanted & help offered. Bi-weekly meetings (every two weeks). Language English/Dutch. This idea is inspired by Barbara Sher's story and experiences. Please see her Ted Talk titled "Isolation is the dream-killer, not your attitude". The idea in short: One person at a time tells the group his/her dream or aim and the obstacles they face to achieve it. It could be a trip, an experience, a change of career, an undertaking of some kind, learning a skill, solving a particular problem or even finding out what you really want. The group works to realise the person's aim. Not just theoretically, also practically. For this we use our experience and networks. —Nothing as satisfying as helping another! Perhaps suitable, Gabor Mate's words: "You never heal alone." Please contact me at galatv@protonmail.com if you have questions or would like to help me to organise these gatherings. Thank you!
