*Tome una bebida, busca un sitio y ponte a dibujar ✍️* **Sala de Artistas** es un espacio abierto para sentarse, compartir y dibujar en compañía. No es una clase ni un taller: **no hay estructura ni expectativas**. Trae tus propios materiales, elige un lugar y dibuja lo que te apetezca: a otras personas, el espacio, objetos o simplemente ideas sueltas. Abierto a todos los niveles Ven un rato o quédate más tiempo. El espacio existe igual. *Grab a drink, find a spot, and draw ✍️* **Artists’ Room** is an open space to sit, share, and draw together. It’s not a class or a workshop — **no structure, no expectations**. Bring your own materials, choose a seat, and draw whatever you feel like: each other, the space, objects, or just loose ideas on paper. Open to all levels Come for a while or stay longer. The room exists either way.

* 📸 **Instagram:** [✨ @polepolehiking](https://www.instagram.com/polepolehiking/) * * **🌳 RUTA DE SENDERISMO ( Bosc artístic d'Ernest Borras)🌳** * **🌳**El **Bosque Artístico de Ernest Borràs**, ubicado en Dosrius (Maresme), no es solo una ruta por la naturaleza; es una caminata por la mente de un artista que decidió que las paredes de un museo eran demasiado pequeñas para su obra. * 🎨 La Historia del "Afinador de Pianos" que esculpió un bosque Para que la historia sea interesante, hay que empezar por el protagonista: **Ernest Borràs**. No era el típico escultor de academia desde joven. De hecho, heredó el oficio de su padre: **era afinador de pianos**. Esta sensibilidad por la armonía y el sonido la trasladó más tarde a las formas. A los 50 años (en 1980), dio un giro radical a su vida: cerró su negocio y entró a estudiar Bellas Artes. Se instaló en su finca, llamada **"Casa Viva"**, en Dosrius, y durante más de 30 años se dedicó a "escuchar" al bosque. Su filosofía era mágica: *"Primero veo el lugar y después creo la obra para que se avengan; es como si el propio bosque pidiera la obra"*. 🌿**UN POCO DE HISTORIA** : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTymG9hqUtY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTymG9hqUtY) * **🌳🌿 \*\*!!

Dos pobles plens de turisme d’excessos, però units per un **camí de ronda que guarda racons i cales verges que encara sorprenen**, fins i tot als qui ja creiem conèixer la Costa Brava.

At this time of year, with spring awakening, the path dresses in vibrant colors, pine forests scenting the air, and sunlight highlighting every shade of the Mediterranean. If the sun is shining, we might even stop for a first spring swim in one of the quieter coves. 👙 **If you love the Mediterranean, there’s no need to wait until summer: the seaside season is already here… and this year promises unforgettable moments! ❤️🌊 Dont' miss it!** **Meeting point 1:** in the first carriage of the train departing from L’H at 8:48, stopping at Sants at 8:55, Plaça Catalunya at 9:00, Arc de Triomf at 9:03, Clot-Aragó at 9:07, Sant Adrià de Besòs at 9:16, and Badalona at 9:25.

You can find out what is at the root of all this. This is a local event.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
