“Imagine if we could share meanings freely without the compulsive urge to impose our views or conform to others and without distortion and self-deception”. Diving deep beneath the surface of small talk, this group spontaneously explores more meaningful and provoking topics. We choose a topic and explore it, not to reach a conclusion, but to discover what emerges when we stay with it together. We examine structures, unconscious drivers, and social scripts that shape perception. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, sociology, and mythology, the conversation balances analysis with heart, human connection, and spirituality. We look at what is there, not just what is comfortable, and follow the threads that feel alive. To preserve the intimacy and depth of our conversations we have to limit numbers. We kindly request that you RSVP only if you are certain you can attend. Should your plans change, please change your RSVP, so the spot can be offered to another. We ask for a €2 contribution to keep the group going.

I have done this race nearly every year and there is always a great atmosphere. I am goi g to restart a C25k this week so this will give me motivation and perfect time frame to prepare. Lots of people walk the route I will post in comments when I enter. I will enter in the next few days. A week ago Croí said over 50% of entry places had gone. It sells out quickly.
