Es **imprescindible** reservar tu plaza en: [Habitar el movimiento - Mayo](https://entradium.com/events/habitar-el-movimiento-mayo) **Día:** Jueves 14 de mayo **Hora:** de 19 a 20:30h **Sede:** [Barra/Llibre](https://www.instagram.com/barrallibrebcn/?hl=es) (Carrer de Riego 13 / Plaça d'Osca, Sants) Cualquier duda, escríbenos a **[info@ciempies.es](info@ciempies.es)** En Instagram [ciempies.talleres](https://www.instagram.com/ciempies.talleres/) **Habitar el movimiento** ¿Te apetecería formar parte de un laboratorio de lectura y escritura donde el álbum ilustrado nos invite a explorar lo que significarme moverse, por dentro y por fuera? A través de la palabra y la imagen nos acercaremos a historias que hablen de viajes, migración, encuentros y transformaciones. Abriremos preguntas sobre la identidad, la pertenencia, la memoria y la forma en que miramos (y nos dejamos mirar) por las otras personas. Aquí no solo comentaremos libros: nos dejaremos tocar por ellos. Observaremos con calma, leeremos entre líneas y también escribiremos. La escritura será una forma de explorar nuestros propios movimientos internos, sin necesidad de experiencia previa, solo con curiosidad y apertura. Te esperamos para regalarnos un tiempo de lectura en voz alta, para mirar y escuchar en compañía, conversar y escribir. Un espacio cuidado, íntimo y sin juicio. Habrá café, té o refresco para acompañar la experiencia.

As part of our **Mercè Rodoreda Book Club Series (January–May)**, we invite you to join us for a special **closing session** dedicated to *Journeys and Flowers* (*Viatges i flors*) and to celebrating the reading journey we have shared over the past months. Originally, this final session was due to feature translator **Nick Caistor**, who unfortunately can no longer join us due to a scheduled medical operation. We send him our warmest wishes for a smooth recovery. Rather than cancel our final gathering, we wanted to embrace the spirit that has made this series so meaningful: readers coming together in conversation. This session will take on a more open **book club format**, where all attendees are warmly invited to participate, reflect, and share. Together we will discuss: 🌿 *Journeys and Flowers* — one of Rodoreda’s most imaginative and singular works 🌿 Favourite books and moments from the series 🌿 How reading Rodoreda in community has shaped the experience 🌿 The legacy and literary world of one of Catalonia’s most beloved writers Whether you joined us for one session or many, we would love to welcome you for this final conversation.

**Los jueves** de 18:30 a 20 h **·** Con Nàtalia Ribó **Join our Telegram Channel– Siri Quantum:** [https://t.me/+6BN_YIxiSHY4ZjI8](https://t.me/+6BN_YIxiSHY4ZjI8) Un espacio para parar, respirar y volver al cuerpo. Yin Yoga es una práctica lenta y profunda que invita a la quietud, la escucha y la presencia, equilibrando el ritmo acelerado del día a día. A través de posturas sostenidas y una práctica basada en la Medicina Tradicional China, trabajamos el sistema nervioso, los tejidos profundos y el equilibrio energético. No se trata de hacer más, sino de soltar, sentir y estar. Las clases son meditativas y se acompañan de música, aromaterapia y momentos de integración, facilitando la reducción del estrés y una conexión más consciente con el cuerpo. Un encuentro semanal para bajar el ritmo y habitar el silencio. Valor: 15€, con diferentes opciones de asistencia y promociones combinables con Kundalini Yoga (Los lunes).

Les esperamos el próximo jueves, 14 de mayo a las 19h, en la presentación de 'Las nerviosas' de @rosaelisach, editado en el sello Yegua de Troya de @randomhouse_es y bajo la curaduría de @gabrielawiener. 🐎 Le acompaña @belenlopezpeiro. ❤️ Acerca del libro: Una periodista en sus treintas se muda de los conos —los barrios populares de Lima—, pero no termina de sentirse cómoda en su piso clasemediero, ni conviviendo con su novio, ni con nada en absoluto. La tristeza que la embarga no es nueva, ni le pertenece solo a ella. La reconoce en los trances de melancolía que su madre, antigua empleada doméstica, arrastra desde siempre; y en sus tías y abuelas, como si la pena viajara de generación en generación. Las mujeres de su familia son “nerviosas”, aunque jamás han sido diagnosticadas como depresivas, quizá porque, según un arraigado prejuicio, las trabajadoras del hogar no sufren estas “enfermedades del alma”, es más, ni siquiera tienen alma. La narradora de este libro emprenderá un viaje, junto con su madre, hacia el pueblo costero del que ésta migró para limpiar casas ajenas. A ese lugar detenido entre la sal y el olor lejano del petróleo, donde la familia perdió algo hace demasiado tiempo: una memoria opaca, aparentemente irrecuperable, dispuesta a revelarse. Escrita con un estilo cincelado en la no ficción de largo aliento y un ritmo adictivo, este debut autobiográfico está repleto de pasajes tan delicadamente hermosos como rotundos sobre la intimidad de los márgenes. La literatura conera ya está aquí. Rosa Chávez Yacila nació en Lima. Es escritora y periodista, ha trabajado para VICE, The New York Times, Internazionale, Courrier International y Granta. Actualmente es profesora en la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas y reportera freelance. Entrada libre hasta completar aforo. 🤗

**Maybe you used to draw but fell out of the habit?** **Maybe you’ve always wanted to start, but find it hard to stay motivated?** **Or maybe you're just looking for a friendly space to sketch and meet new people?** **Come draw with us! :)** We host free, casual drawing meetups. There are no rules, no pressure — **just bring your own materials**, draw whatever you feel like, and enjoy the company of fellow creatives. Every session, we propose a theme to spark your inspiration.

Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned sketcher, everyone’s welcome here. **USEFUL INFO & TIPS** 📍 We meet on the first floor of The Central House Gràcia *(Carrer de Còrsega, 302, 08008 Barcelona)* 👋 Your host, Aina, speaks English, French, Catalan, and Spanish.

American novelist and screenwriter Luke Goebel will be visiting Barcelona to talk with us about his new novel KILL DICK. He will be in conversation with author Josh Denslow. Dark, satirical, and razor-sharp, Kill Dick is a modern literary thriller that unflinchingly dissects wealth, exploitation, and the perilous line between survival and self-destruction. “An insane portrait of L.A. in the vein of Easton Ellis and Didion… you never want to look away.” —Sophia June, Playboy “Captures the burning zeitgeist of our times.” —Kimberly King Parsons "A Lynch- and Kubrick-inspired portrait of Los Angeles.” —Kirkus Reviews ## About the speakers: **Luke Goebel** is an acclaimed author and screenwriter celebrated for his unflinching honesty and innovative storytelling. A recipient of the prestigious Ronald Sukenick Innovative Fiction Prize and the Joan Scott Memorial Fiction Award, his debut novel, Fourteen Stories, None of Them Are Yours, garnered critical acclaim for its innovative and precisely lyrical, profoundly resonant exploration of love, grief, and the restless search for identity. Goebel also co-wrote Eileen, starring Anne Hathaway and McKenzie Thompson, and Causeway, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry (who received an Oscar nomination for his performance). He is known as well as his role as co-editor at The New York Tyrant and work with Tyrant Books. **Josh Denslow** is the author of three books, including most recently Magic Can't Save Us. His most recent short stories have appeared in Electric Literature's The Commuter, The Rumpus, and Okay Donkey, among others. He is the Email Marketing Manager for [Bookshop.org](http://bookshop.org/), and he has read and edited for SmokeLong Quarterly for over a decade. He currently lives in Barcelona with his family.

**Sabado 16 de Mayo, de 10.00 a 14.00** Casa Bhúo, Carrer del Taulat 71, bajo 1 Barcelona Para confirmar tu participación, escríbeme al número +34 656 737 190. **No se aceptan inscripciones hechas solo a través de Meetup.** **Taller de constelaciones familiares del Espíritu: Rendirse al amor.** ¿Tienes una temática que sientes que te está bloqueando en la vida? ¿Un dolor que se ha vuelto crónico? ¿Dificultades en tus relaciones o en el trabajo? ¿Estás atravesando un desafío en tu salud? **Quizás la solución sea más amorosa de lo que crees.** Desde la mirada de las Constelaciones Familiares del Espíritu, el camino de la sanación pasa por mirar con amor aquello que nos duele, lo difícil, aquello que no nos atrevemos a mirar. A veces, por desconocimiento, existen dinámicas ocultas en el inconsciente que están reteniendo nuestra vida y que solo necesitan ser vistas e integradas. La solución pasa por un camino de rendición al amor. Un camino de reconciliación e integración. Instintivamente, tendemos a apartar la mirada de aquello que nos duele, pero nuestra alma necesita mirar allí para poder avanzar. Si sientes que hay temas que no logras solucionar por ti mismo, o que ya has trabajado en distintas terapias pero siguen afectándote, este taller es para ti. Juntos podremos mirar aquello que tu alma está queriendo mostrarte para orientarte hacia una solución. Te espero el sábado, con mucho cariño. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Podrás participar de dos maneras: * **Constelando tu propio tema personal.** * **Participando como representante.** **Precio 45 euros** ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Facilita Valentina Bergomi Tancredi Valentina Bergomi Tancredi es consteladora familiar del espíritu y terapeuta energética, especializada en la remoción de bloqueos emocionales, ya sean propios, ancestrales, de otras vidas o relacionados con la presencia de entidades.

Consteladora familiar del espíritu, caminante del Camino Rojo bajo la guía del maestro nahual Tata Kachora, su experiencia ha sido profundamente nutrida por encuentros con chamanes de la selva amazónica y el trabajo con plantas maestras como la Madre Ayahuasca. Actualmente continúa su proceso formativo en La Esencia del Tacto con MuditoSan, profundizando en la presencia meditativa y el encuentro con el otro a través del cuerpo. Su trabajo también se inspira en el Código de la Emoción del Dr. Bradley Nelson.

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
