Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar. Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar...
El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística.
Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau.

Beach Voley Intermediate Level
Todos los amantes del voley playa que lleven más de 6 meses jugando o entrenando son bienvenidos. A mejorar la técnica y los desplazamientos en el terreno 💪🏾💪🏾.
Circle Song: Improvised Body Music
**Invitation**
**We are the instruments.**
A participatory, improvised, embodied practice that reconnects us to one another through rhythm, voice, and play.
This is a guided yet fully improvised experience, using the facilitation tools and methods of [Musica do Circulo](https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en). No prior experience is required, only an openness to connect with other humans in your own fun, light and authentic way.
Circle songs are an invitation into a fully immersive, fully improvised musical experience using vocals, body percussion and movement. It draws inspiration from musical embodied rhythm practices from around the world, including call-and-response singing, rhythmic clapping games and circle song traditions.
*"We are doing something that is so human and so needed, something that we've forgotten." - Igor, circle participant May 2025*
Simply by standing in a circle and connecting with our bodies as our instruments, we are reminded that we can find joy and meaning right here in this present moment, and in the next.
**This event is donation-based. What does this mean?**
It means pay if and what you can, so that everyone can join. It also means spreading the word and bringing your friends to keep this going strong!
If you think your company, organisation, team, or event could benefit from a similar experience — please reach out. That's how we sustain it in the long run.
**Doors close at 18.45**

🤍 YIN YOGA WITH SOUND HEALING ✨
90-minutes Yin Yoga and Sound Bath session offers a deep and meditative experience, designed to release tension in both the body and mind. We will focus on Yin Yoga, where you'll settle into long-held, passive postures targeting the deeper connective tissues, joints, and fascia. By staying in each pose for several minutes, you’ll cultivate stillness, patience, and inner awareness, allowing deep physical and emotional release.
The session will be together a soothing Sound Bath. As you hold the poses, you'll be immersed in the healing vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, or chimes. The sound waves will guide you into a state of deep space, helping to calm the nervous system, balance energy, and promote a sense of peace and tranquility.
This combination of Yin Yoga and sound healing offers a powerful practice for restoring balance, reducing stress, and reconnecting with your inner self. Suitable for all levels, this session invites you to slow down, let go, and experience profound relaxation.

Al permanecer en cada postura durante varios minutos, cultivarás la quietud, la paciencia y la conciencia interior, permitiendo una profunda liberación física y emocional.
La sesión se complementará con un relajante Sound Bath. Mientras mantienes las posturas, estarás inmerso en las vibraciones sanadoras de cuencos de cristal, gongs o campanas. Las ondas sonoras te guiarán hacia un estado de profundo espacio, ayudando a calmar el sistema nervioso, equilibrar la energía y promover una sensación de paz y tranquilidad.

Passeig Tranquil pels Jardins de Montjuic / Peaceful Walk: Montjuïc Gardens
T’imagines escapar del soroll de la ciutat sense sortir-ne?
Et proposo una cosa senzilla… però poderosa.
Un passeig tranquil pels màgics parcs de Montjuïc, on durant 2 hores faràs una cosa que avui dia gairebé ningú fa bé: **baixar el ritme i gaudir de veritat.**
***
🚶♂️ **Què hi viuràs?**
No és només un passeig. És una experiència.
• Caminarem sense presses, deixant que l’entorn marqui el ritme
• Descobrirem jardins amagats i racons perfectes per a fotos increïbles 📸
• Tindràs temps per a tu… per pensar, respirar i reconnectar
***
🧠💬 **Moment especial (i diferent)**
Farem una parada tècnica on obrirem un espai per conversar sobre temes que realment importen.
***
**🍹 El toc final que ho canvia tot**
Perquè la vida no és només ment… també és cos i gaudi.
Acabarem amb una parada per prendre alguna cosa junts i tancar l’experiència com es mereix: **relaxats, connectats i amb bon rotllo.**
***
**🌸 Per què ara?**
Perquè la primavera ja és aquí.
Perquè el bon temps convida a sortir.
I perquè no necessites més estrès… necessites experiències que et sumin.
***
👉 **Si sents que necessites desconnectar, conèixer gent nova i recarregar energia… aquest passeig és per a tu.**
No t’ho pensis gaire.
Les millors decisions no es pensen… es senten.
Hi ha més apuntats. Aquest passeig s'anuncia també a: **[https://www.meetup.com/club-mentes-brillantes/events/313957070/](https://www.meetup.com/club-mentes-brillantes/events/313957070/)**
**Punt de trobada:** Torres Venecianes de Plaça Espanya
***
Can you imagine escaping the noise of the city without leaving it?
I’ve got something simple for you… but powerful.
A peaceful walk through the magical parks of Montjuïc, where for 2 hours you’ll do something that almost no one does well these days: slow down and truly enjoy the moment.
🚶♂️ **What will you experience?**
This isn’t just a walk. It’s an experience.
• We’ll walk without rushing, letting the surroundings set the pace
• We’ll discover hidden gardens and perfect spots for amazing photos 📸
• You’ll have time for yourself… to think, breathe, and reconnect
🧠💬 **A special (and different) moment**
We’ll make a stop where we open up a space to talk about things that really matter.
🍹 **The final touch that changes everything**
Because life isn’t just about the mind… it’s also about the body and enjoyment.
We’ll finish with a stop to grab a drink together and close the experience the way it deserves: relaxed, connected, and in a great vibe.
🌸 **Why now?**
Because spring is already here.
Because the good weather invites you outside.
And because you don’t need more stress… you need experiences that add to your life.
👉 If you feel like you need to disconnect, meet new people, and recharge your energy… this walk is for you.
Don’t overthink it.
The best decisions aren’t thought… they’re felt.
There are more people signed up. This walk is also advertised on: **[https://www.meetup.com/club-mentes-brillantes/events/313957070/](https://www.meetup.com/club-mentes-brillantes/events/313957070/)**

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water"
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!
Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, April 22 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.
The “I” of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace Workshop
In the midst of life’s storms—whether in relationships, work, or within ourselves—it can be difficult to find clarity and calm. The “I” Of the Storm: Embracing Conflict, Creating Peace, based on the work of Dr. Gary Simmons, invites you to discover the steady center within—the part of you that remains grounded even when everything around you is in motion.
Led by Brian Drafton-Griffin, this engaging workshop offers practical tools and meaningful insights to help you navigate conflict with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence. Through guided discussion and reflection, you’ll learn how to shift from reaction to response and transform challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.
Sunday Brunch
Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!
Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator.
Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."
🌿 EFT Tapping Workshop: Reduce Stress & Restore Balance
**Hosted by Unity of Columbus \| Facilitated by Carisa Holmes\, EFT Practitioner**
Join us for a powerful and uplifting workshop where you’ll be introduced to **Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as tapping**—a simple, effective method that helps release stress, calm the mind, and restore emotional balance.
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us carry tension, anxiety, and emotional blocks that impact our well-being. This interactive session will guide you through practical techniques you can use anytime to create a sense of peace and clarity.
