What’s that sound? A new kind of Creativity Lab. ***Bluff Lab*** *is free to attend, with advance RSVP requested at* ***[bluffeducation.org](bluffeducation.org).*** Bluff Lab is an interdisciplinary creative workshop blending improvisation, writing, and sound-play. The lab explores *bluffing* not as deception, but as a creative tool: pretending, testing, and moving forward with or without certainty. Through structured prompts and playful constraints, participants are invited to loosen habits, bypass overthinking, and access new ways of making and collaborating. We begin with an open workshop focused on presence, listening, and creative risk-taking in a supportive group setting. In the second half of the evening, participants can join or observe a playful, guided jam using material generated during the workshop. Participation is always optional. **What to expect** • Guided exercises using voice, text, movement, and sound • Individual and group-based prompts • A relaxed, process-driven environment with optional sharing • No prior experience required **Who it’s for** Creatives and “*non-creatives*,” students, professionals, performers, musicians, and anyone curious about creative process. Open to all levels and backgrounds. **Details** Language: English (instructor also fluent in Castellano; participants are welcome to write and share in any language they choose) Format: Open session / drop-in Entry: Please RSVP at [bluffeducation.org](bluffeducation.org) Cost: Free; optional pay-what-you-will donation Bring: Notebook, pen or pencil, curiosity **Doors & bar:** 14:30 **Workshop:** 15:00 – 17:00 **Location:** The BCN Studio C/ d’Elkano 26, 01A Poble Sec, Barcelona

Sanando los vínculos invisibles que condicionan la relación.** La relación de pareja es, probablemente, el espacio por excelencia de intimidad y vulnerabilidad. En el fondo, todos anhelamos compartir nuestra vida con alguien que pueda vernos de verdad y amarnos por lo que realmente somos, más allá de las máscaras, las defensas y los personajes que aprendimos a construir. Sin embargo, el amor no depende únicamente de la voluntad, de la compatibilidad o de encontrar a la persona adecuada. Desde la mirada de las Constelaciones Familiares, observamos que el éxito o las dificultades en la pareja están profundamente influenciados por factores sistémicos que permanecen ocultos a primera vista. Lealtades inconscientes, vínculos no resueltos, exclusiones, desórdenes en el sistema familiar e intrincaciones con nuestros antepasados pueden condicionar la manera en que amamos, elegimos pareja y vivimos nuestras relaciones. Con frecuencia, los conflictos que aparecen en la vida afectiva no nacen realmente en la pareja, sino que tienen sus raíces en la historia familiar. Lo que no ha sido visto, reconocido o integrado en generaciones anteriores puede seguir actuando silenciosamente en el presente, limitando nuestra capacidad para construir vínculos plenos y satisfactorios. Mirar hacia aquello que opera en el inconsciente abre la posibilidad de una comprensión más profunda. Cuando reconocemos los movimientos ocultos que actúan detrás de nuestras experiencias amorosas, puede surgir una nueva mirada, una mayor libertad interior y una oportunidad real para que el amor florezca. Este taller está dirigido tanto a quienes se encuentran actualmente en una relación de pareja como a quienes desean encontrar una persona con quien compartir el camino de la vida. También es un espacio para quienes han atravesado una separación y sienten que el vínculo aún no ha encontrado un cierre sereno y en paz. Sea cual sea tu situación actual, eres bienvenido a participar en este encuentro de exploración, comprensión y apertura al amor. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Podrás participar de dos maneras: * **Constelando tu propio tema personal.** * **Participando como representante.** * **Precio: 60 € para constelar tu tema** **20 € para representantes** **Descuentos :** Si traes a alguien al taller: \- Recibes **10 € de descuento** por cada persona que viene a constelar. \- Recibes **5 € de descuento** por cada persona que venga como representante. Los descuentos son acumulables, cuantas más personas traigas, mayor será tu descuento. 🌐 **Comunidad y contacto** 📸 Sígueme en **Instagram** @rendirse_al_amor para recibir contenido e información sobre próximos eventos: **[https://www.instagram.com/rendirse_al_amor/](https://www.instagram.com/rendirse_al_amor/)** 📲 Mándame un mensaje por **WhatsApp** al +34 656 737 190 o haz clic en el siguiente enlace para recibir información sobre próximos talleres, eventos y actividades: 👉 [https://wa.me/34656737190?text=Hola%20Valentina%2C%20me%20gustar%C3%ADa%20estar%20informado%2Fa%20de%20los%20pr%C3%B3ximos%20eventos%20y%20actividades.%20%C2%BFPodr%C3%ADas%20incluirme%20en%20tu%20lista%20de%20difusi%C3%B3n%3F](https://wa.me/34656737190?text=Hola%20Valentina%2C%20me%20gustar%C3%ADa%20estar%20informado%2Fa%20de%20los%20pr%C3%B3ximos%20eventos%20y%20actividades.%20%C2%BFPodr%C3%ADas%20incluirme%20en%20tu%20lista%20de%20difusi%C3%B3n%3F) 🤍 Estaré encantada de mantenerte informado/a de las próximas propuestas. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ 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.
