Drawing together!!

日本語は下に Do you interested in drawing anime art? Are you expecting to meet people drawing together? Why don't we draw anime art together and chat with each other? NOTE: This is NOT a workshop event!! We may go cafe or early dinner afterwards if some of us would like to go. Fee:$2. We use it for running this event. I'll give my PayID on the day. If you prefer cash, of course, it works. What will be expecting for event : \- Provide an opportunity to gather who like drawing and chat with each other\. \-\- Make sure to bring your own drawing stuff and drawing sample you'd like to draw\. \-\-\- Unfortunately\, Organiser don't draw at all\, so can't tell any of tip for art skills\. But all other attendees may be able to give you some tips\, so have chat and exchange your opinion\. アニメアートを描くことに興味はありませんか？ 一緒に絵を描いている人たちとの出会いを期待していませんか？ 一緒にアニメアートを描いて、おしゃべりしませんか？ 注意：このイベントはワークショップではありません。 その後、カフェや早めのディナーに行く人もいるかもしれません。 参加費:2ドル。このイベントの運営に使います。当日PayIDを渡します。現金がいいという方は、もちろん使えます。 イベントに期待すること: \- 絵を描くことが好きな人たちが集まり、おしゃべりをする機会を提供します。 \-\- 基本的には画材は自分で持ってきてください。こちらからは提供するのは場所だけになります。 \-\-\- 残念ながら主催者は絵を全く描かないので、画力については何とも言えません。でも、他の参加者の皆さんは、何かヒントを与えてくれるかもしれませんので、おしゃべりして意見交換しましょう。

August Book Club on Degrowth: Less Is More

Welcome to Meet the Moment Book Club, where we read books that meet the moment and make sense of it all together. Please see our [group page](https://www.meetup.com/meet-the-moment-book-club/) for a list of upcoming books. After discussing the true origins of illness and health, and seeing how much the current system affects our health, as well as the power we now have, armed with this new knowledge from *The Myth of Normal*, to get healthy -- we now take a look at the system itself. How did things become the way they are? Why is the world we live in so antithetical to life and health? And armed with this knowledge, what can we do about it? *Less Is More* was a game changer for me. After experiencing some health crises, I slowed down my life, and was transformed; because in this very fast-paced world, even slowing down is somehow revolutionary and transformative. So when I read *Less Is More*, it clicked immediately -- ah, this very fast-paced system itself needs to slow down, too. That alone would transform our world, our lives. Degrowth may be an off-putting word for some. Don't let it faze you. You'll understand it once you see it in context. *Less Is More* is also just beautifully written and an excellent read. You'll see. \*\*\* A Financial Times Book of the Year "'A powerfully disruptive book for disrupted times ... If you're looking for transformative ideas, this book is for you.' KATE RAWORTH, economist and author of Doughnut Economics ______________________________________ Our planet is in trouble. But how can we reverse the current crisis and create a sustainable future? The answer is: DEGROWTH. Less is More is the wake-up call we need. By shining a light on ecological breakdown and the system that's causing it, Hickel shows how we can bring our economy back into balance with the living world and build a thriving society for all. This is our chance to change course, but we must act now." https://www.amazon.com.au/Less-More-Degrowth-Will-World/dp/1786091216/ \*\*\* We will be meeting at The Erko Hotel, in the outside area in the back. We will start and end on time. There's no fee, but please purchase your own food/drinks from the venue. \*\*\* If you have trouble getting the book, message me. On reading a book: I encourage people to read books over just interviews or summaries, because nothing beats the slow digesting of the beauty and nuances in a book. Especially for the books in this book club that challenge our worldviews and help us see the world as it truly is, these books need to be really grappled with, to be fully engaged with, to receive the full benefits. For reference, I use book clubs to motivate me to finish the books I want to read, so the date of the book club becomes a deadline to finish the book by. I calculate the number of pages in a book and the number of days I can realistically read, and work out how many pages on average I need to read each day. That's how I've finished many books. Invariably, they're worth reading to the end. Of course, life happens and we're all busy. If you really can't finish a book or can only watch videos this time, that's okay. Come by with an attitude of listening, open to being inspired, and take in what others have to say; perhaps you'll want to read/finish the book afterwards. Just know that books are like most things in life: what you put in is what you get out of it. A podcast or ChatGPT can give you the high-level points, sure, perhaps to BS your way to a decent grade in class; but we're not in school anymore, and we read these books because they better our lives and help us see more clearly. But they can only do so if we read them, because reading is what makes all the new concepts come to life enough to maybe change yours. For the full magic, you just gotta read. Alright, thanks for reading my ode to reading. \*\*\* If the RSVP list is full, please join the waiting list as there will likely be fluctuations closer to the date. If you RSVP'ed and can't make it, please edit your RSVP so that others can attend. No-shows will be noted and barred from the book club. Look forward to seeing you there!
