PLEASE, CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE! Anna: 651314706 Instagram: @cercleahimsa **Come join us to enjoy and share a session inspired by yoga and the energy of the lunar cycle.** Each week, we explore a different practice that aligns with the current moon phase (for example, Full Moon: gratitude; Waning Moon: letting go…) The heart of the session is the yoga practice, but we also include a deep meditation of at least 10 minutes, and we close the session with therapeutic writing or artistic expression as a way to integrate the experience. We are a small group of up to eight people, creating a safe and open space where, through the body and movement, we gently move closer to self-awareness and inner peace. Instagram: @cercleahimsa

🚀 Hey, everyone! The **largest English-speaking tech & business community from Andalucía** is now coming to Barcelona! What started as a bi-weekly morning coffee uniting like-minded entrepreneurial minds in Málaga ☕️ is expanding — and we’re bringing that same raw energy, openness, and connection to Barcelona. As always, there’s no formal agenda or moderation — just real, unfiltered conversations in English (and a bit of Spanish) 🗣️ Our focus remains the same: cultivating meaningful relationships, creating space to exchange ideas, share journeys, and learn from others building in the startup ecosystem 👥 It’s the perfect environment to test ideas, form new alliances, and spark unexpected collaborations — all over great coffee and breakfast. Let’s gather, connect, and dive into thoughtful conversations in a relaxed setting. Barcelona, we’re coming!

Are you looking to try out ceramics or up-skill your existing knowledge? Look no further! This workshop is standalone or you can book a block of 4 that need not be consecutive. It takes place in a very spacious and bright studio and you are welcomed to come with your own ideas or simply follow along and let your creativity blossom during the mindful 3 hours of making. The main technique used during the session is hand-building giving you the option to create functional ware or small sculptural work. Beginners will be guided through the process using techniques such as slab building, coiling, pinching, texturing and surface decoration. The more advanced will be free to create and those with experience throwing would be welcomed to use the wheel which would need to be reserved in advance. Those of you who would like to learn about glazing would need to book 2 workshops. The workshops are mainly run in English but I do speak Catalan and Spanish. They also provide a great opportunity for non-native speakers to practice their English. They last 3 hours, materials and aprons are provided and your pieces will be fired and ready for pick up around 10 days after. Cost: 42.00€ PayPal/person or 40€ Bizum.

**Join the Conscious Creators Club —** a community of impact-driven creators exploring conscious entrepreneurship, meaningful collaboration, and new ways of creating a positive impact in the world. ​ Whether you're an entrepreneur, artist, podcaster, activist, or healer — we all have one thing in common: the drive to create meaningful work that is serving the planet. ​**This Saturday we have our first informal gathering — where we share ideas, our creative projects, and discuss the topic of the week. Finishing with a healthy lunch.** **Our topic of the week: CREATION - How creativity can transmute war & conflict mentality.** **We will explore:** → How creative engagement metabolises destruction by widening our perspective and dissolving the tribal biases that fuel war → How human consciousness operates on a scale where high-frequency states — such as love and purpose — can *exponentially* counterbalance and absorb lower energies like anger and fear → And ultimately: why generating meaning through being creative is the only way to fill the vacuum where violence otherwise takes root **AGENDA**\*\*:\*\* **11:00 - Intros** **11:15 - a grounding meditation & connecting with the Earth** **11:30 - Introducing the topic on Conscious Creation Vs Destruction** **(led by Desislava Kadra)\*** **12:00 - Group discussion where we explore our own ¨creations¨ and how we use creativity to create impact** ​So bring your curiosity, your coffee (or tea) and come as you are! ​This gathering is for those who want more than small talk and surface-level networking. This space is for those who feel called to create differently. Consciously. With impact. And with the support of like-minded souls beside them. ​Together, we're experimenting with what a true conscious community can look like. **🌍 WHAT TO EXPECT (in coming months)** ​**🌿 Socials —** twice a month informal gatherings where we share ideas, creative projects, and dive into one topic on conscious creation and impact. ​**🎙 Workshops —** once a month a rotating community member shares their work through a talk or workshop. Everyone gets a turn to contribute. ​**🎬 Movie nights —** once a month popcorn, thought-provoking films, and deep conversation. We explore some of the most controversial films and major topics every month. Down the rabbit hole we go... ​**🌍 Trips —** monthly we switch off, get creative, and build the tribes of the future together. *** ​**✨ THIS MEETUP IS FOR YOU IF:** ​→ You're on a conscious path and want your work to matter ​→ You enjoy deep, open-minded conversations ​→ You're curious, reflective, and not afraid of unconventional ideas ​→ You're bored of typical party and social scenes ​→ You want real connection, collaboration, and long-term impact ​No topic is off-limits. No idea is "too crazy." Everyone gets to participate in one way or another. We create real opportunities to collaborate on projects — and make lifelong friends. \*Organiser: Desislava Kadra - a documentary filmmaker, podcaster & conscious creator: [https://bridgingtherealm.kit.com/](https://bridgingtherealm.kit.com/?utm_source=luma)

**Rapé Circle • Breath • Embodiment** ​An intimate evening of grounding, release, and reconnection ​📍 Samaná Soul Spaces ​📅 09\.04\.2026 \| 18:30 – 20:30 ​Step into a sacred and intimate container where breath, movement, and ancestral medicine come together to guide you back into your body. ​This evening is an invitation to slow down, soften the mind, and reconnect with your inner essence. Through conscious breathwork, the sacred medicine of Rapé, and gentle embodiment practices, we create space to release what no longer serves and open to clarity, presence, and inner alignment. ​Rapé (ha-pen) is a traditional Amazonian plant medicine, used by indigenous tribes for grounding, cleansing, and deep spiritual connection. It is typically made from Mapacho (a sacred Amazonian tobacco) blended with various medicinal herbs. Unlike other plant medicines, Rapé is non-hallucinogenic and does not take you out of yourself, but rather brings you deeper into your body. Offered with respect and intention, it supports the clearing of mental fog, emotional blockages, and energetic stagnation, allowing you to arrive more fully within yourself. ​*This is a space for those who feel called to:* ​• reconnect with their body and breath ​• release emotional or energetic heaviness ​• deepen their inner awareness ​• experience sacred medicine in a safe, guided setting ​• share in authentic connection within an intimate group ​No prior experience is needed. You are welcome exactly as you are. *** ​**✨ What to expect** ​**Arrival & Introduction** ​We begin by opening the space, landing together, and setting the tone for the evening. ​**Intention Circle** ​Each participant is invited to share their name and intention, anchoring their personal journey for the session. ​**Breathwork (Wim Hof style)** ​A guided breath practice to activate the body, bring clarity, and prepare the system to receive. ​**Rapé Facilitation** ​You will be gently introduced to the medicine, its origins, and its purpose. ​The medicine is offered with prayer and intention, accompanied by live music to support your journey. ​This part of the evening invites deep grounding, release, and energetic alignment. ​A short channeled prayer and light language will follow to support integration. ​**Embodiment Movement** ​Through intuitive, guided movement, we begin to awaken the life force within the body. ​This practice supports emotional release, creative expression, and a deeper connection to your inner energy. ​**Closing Circle** ​We gently land the experience, share reflections, and integrate the journey together. *** ​**🌸 About the facilitator** ​**Magda** is a space holder devoted to guiding others back into connection with their body, energy, and inner truth. Her work weaves together embodiment practices, breathwork, kundalini bodywork and sacred plant medicines, creating grounded yet intuitive containers for transformation. ​Her approach is gentle, present, and deeply attuned. She holds space with intention and care, allowing each person to move through their own process in a way that feels safe and authentic. ​With a deep respect for the traditions behind Rapé, Magda offers this medicine as a tool for grounding, clarity, and reconnection, always guided by prayer, presence, and integrity. ​Please arrive sober and with a clear body, free from alcohol or substances, to honour the medicine and the space we are creating together. ## ​**📅 Practical Details** ​​**🗓 Sunday 12 April** **⏰ 18:30 - 20:30** **📍 Samanà Space (Poblenou)** ​​**Samanà Space** (🔗 [IG](https://www.instagram.com/samanasoul/?utm_source=luma)) **Address:** Calle Pujades 77-79 8 planta — Ring 2809 ​​​​🔗 [Google Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/p3Y4patgzNDUtQo2A?utm_source=luma) ​​​​​​​​**Our Space:** * ​​​​​​​​Is a shoe free zone * ​​​​​​​​Alcohol or drugs are not permitted * ​​​​​​​​We are a vegan space

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

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!
