*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.

**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

In April WQC's Creativity Circle will be making beaded bracelets and keychains!

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional

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!
