Fuera de Mapa - donde empiezan las ideas que aún no te atreves a nombrar
Fuera de Mapa - donde empiezan las ideas que aún no te atreves a nombrar
**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. Una forma distinta de abordar tus retos cuando el pensamiento lógico no es suficiente. **Lo que necesitas saber:** No necesitas experiencia ni habilidades concretas. Esto va de conectar contigo mismo y lo que ya está en ti. Tu intuición ya lo sabe! Reserva tu sitio y descubre lo que pasa cuando dejas que **tus manos te muestren el camino.** Si no bebes vino, avísanos con antelación y preparamos otra bebida para ti. 🎟️ **Reserva de plaza (Imprescindible):** Para esta experiencia las plazas son muy limitadas. Estar apuntado aquí en Meetup no garantiza el acceso. 👇 **Consigue tu entrada oficial aquí:** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/entradas-fuera-de-mapa-donde-empiezan-las-ideas-que-aun-no-te-atreves-a-nombrar-1987837395160

Why Is Your Language Learning So Slow? (And How to Fix It)
Why Is Your Language Learning So Slow? (And How to Fix It)
When I moved to Barcelona, I worked long hours and somehow still couldn't find people to actually practice Spanish with. ​I tried courses. I tried Duolingo and Babbel. They all felt the same: awkward exercises about topics I didn't care about, completely disconnected from my real life. ​So I figured out my own method. It worked. I learned Spanish in 4 months, and I'm now accelerating my French, not in a classroom but by integrating the language into my daily life. ​That's exactly what I'm sharing in this free 1-hour session. ​**What you'll walk away with:** * ​Why traditional methods get you stuck at the intermediate level * ​The one thing that actually moves the needle (it's not more tutoring) * ​Daily practices you can start tomorrow - built around your life, not a textbook ​**Who's this for:** * ​You've been learning a language but got stuck somewhere between A2 and B2 * ​You want to actually use the language, not spend years chasing perfection * ​You're open to rethinking how you learn ​**Logistics:** We'll meet at Sandwichez to have a Coffee all together and talk about our language experience.

Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Shut Up & Write! Kingsdale Shopping Center
Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for June is "Roadtrip" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
