Birdsong Mindfulness Walks every Sunday
Details
## 🐦 Birdsong Mindfulness Walks 🌿
Slow, nature-based mindfulness in Barcelona
### 🌿 TLDR — Please read before joining
- Slow, mindful meditation walk (not fitness or hiking).
- Birdsong as a mindfulness anchor (not birdwatching).
- No individual Reiki during the walk for larger groups (5-min Reiki available before/after if requested).
***
Join a slow, mostly silent walk through the Montjuïc area, guided by birdsong, breath, and gentle presence.
This is an invitation to step out of the rush of everyday life and reconnect — with your body, your senses, and the natural world around you.
Just walking, listening, and being here.
***
### ✨ What we’ll do
- Begin with a short, gentle grounding practice
- Walk at a slow, mindful pace (intentionally slower than a usual walk)
- Use birdsong and natural sounds as anchors for awareness
- Pause at times to listen, sense, or simply be still
- Close with a few moments of shared stillness
For larger groups, individual Reiki is not offered during the walk.
If you’d like a short 5-minute Reiki session, feel free to let me know in advance or come speak with me before or after the walk (always by consent).

### 🐦 A note on birds
This is not a birdwatching walk, though we use birdsong as a meditation anchor.
If you’re curious, I’m always happy to chat after the walk about birds we noticed by sight or sound. I’m also planning to open a monthly gathering for amateur birdwatching soon.

### 🗣 Language
Guided talks and meditations are currently offered in English.
I’m learning Spanish and Catalan, and I hope to offer guided practices in those languages in the future.
***
### 👥 Group size
We began with very small, intimate groups due to individual Reiki sessions.
As interest has grown, I’m opening up more spots and keeping the structure simple so we can walk together more spaciously.
Returning walkers may occasionally join beyond the usual number, as they’re already familiar with the pace and nature of the practice.
💛 If you’ve joined before and would like to come again, please join the waitlist or feel free to message me directly — I’ll happily mark you as going.

### 💛 About the practice
I’m a mindfulness teacher in training, and part of this journey includes learning through practice. You may be gently invited to share feedback to help me grow as a facilitator.
If there are any mindfulness teacher trainees who’d like to co-lead or guide a future walk, feel free to reach out — I’d love to share the space.
***
### 🌿 Cost
These walks are currently offered for free as my way of giving back.
Donations are welcome to help cover Meetup costs and keep the walks accessible, but are never expected.
***
### 🌧 Weather
Light rain can be part of the experience — we’ll choose routes with mostly concrete paths (often around Jardins de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer).
In case of heavy rain, strong wind, or storm alerts, the walk will be cancelled for safety reasons.
***

#### 🎧 Consent & phones
The only consent I’ll ask for is for audio recording (for my mindfulness teacher training).
I won’t take photos during the walk. You’re welcome to take photos after, and I gently invite minimal phone use during the experience.
Thank you for helping keep the space calm, respectful, and spacious for everyone 🌿
