This isn't your usual coffee club. Inspired by how great it is to grab a coffee with a cool... *mentor,* you will: **WAIT WHAAAAATTTT?!?!!?** Welcome to a **very special — and second! —** edition of Coffee Club Barcelona where we host members of [The Human Board](https://www.humanboard.org/) in person for meaningful and free conversations about *your* career growth. **INVITATION: Saturday 28 March, 8:30am - 10:30am @ Plaça del Nen de la Rutlla, Parc del Guinardó, meet at the statue.** The Human Board is a very different kind of "board of advisors" where wonderful, talented people get the professional mentorship-driven guidance that they need about their careers. Accomplished, cool, and kind board members, who are at the height of their varied industries, listen well and give free guidance to those who apply for meetings. The Human Board is a global initiative that is almost two years old and has inspired career growth, pivots, exits, changes, applications, affirmations, and more. This special coffee club event coincides with a board member summit where we have core board members flying in from around the world to convene in Barcelona, so this is a very rare opportunity to enjoy a morning stroll and have a casual chat with truly the best people in business (leaders of some of the most renowned companies around the world) about your own career and what you'd like to do next - for free. *Those who joined us for the first Human Board edition back in October know just how special this is — and we're so excited to do it again.* Similar to the usual [Coffee Club Barcelona ](https://www.meetup.com/coffee-club-walk-talk-coffee-with-us-throughout-barcelona/)format we will: * Meet up with high-quality, high-vibe people, *THIS TIME AT **Plaça del Nen de la Rutlla, Parc del Guinardó*** * Bring a coffee to go (bring your own tumbler/thermos if you'd like) or grab one at the end with us — we will end our hike at a cafe. * Go for a long walk/hike with these people *OUR CONVERSATION STARTER FOR THIS EVENT IS "Tell me about your career?"* :) in nature * Chat about life for a couple hours while on the move and enjoying the sights and sounds of Barcelona * Experience that happy, buoyant feeling that comes from an engaging, pleasant chat * Enjoy some of the best views of Barcelona and nature * Continue on with the rest of your day If you'd like, please provide a reason / intention for attending so that Jenna and The Human Board can make this great for you. **INVITATION: Saturday 28 March, 8:30am - 10:30am @ Plaça del Nen de la Rutlla, Parc del Guinardó, meet at the statue.** We will leave the statue for our walk together at 8:40am. Please be prompt and on time, we will not wait and don't want to miss you. x Disclaimers: This meetup is free, but logically you must purchase your own coffee or beverage of your choice directly with the coffee shop that we're heading to after. The primary language of this meetup will be English, the organizer Jenna also speaks Spanish for any questions or needs. For accessibility please note that we will be hiking up and down steep inclines and uneven terrain to arrive at the mirador del nen de la rutlla. In the event of rain we will message to establish a new indoors location. If you have a well-behaved dog and would like to walk your dog at the same time you are encouraged to bring them. Note that there will be no presentations, we will not be doing any 'talking at,' we'll all be talking with each other, in separate 1:1, 2-3:1 conversations, while hiking around the mountain. Note that while this meetup is in English, this is \*not an English language learning group - this is a way for incredible strangers (both locals and expat locals, we're about 50/50) to get together, chat, and connect about real topics - this time, about your career. If you'd like, please provide a reason / intention for attending so that Jenna can make this great for you. Jenna will be actively hosting this space so don't be surprised if she sends you out for a walk with a new stranger, or changes it up a bit to encourage connection. Note that Jenna is intentionally keeping this group free. Be sure to join our **The Club** Whatsapp group after attending one of our Coffee Clubs to be connected with all of our people in Barcelona - in a no-spam, no-sales, genuinely just cool people meeting up - kind of way. If you'd like to support and/or team up with Jenna, buy her a coffee, check out her work at [holajenna.com,](http://holajenna.com,/) or find her at the next coffee club and say the code word: kaleidoscope. Who is shaping the experience of this group? Jenna is a people person, and the founder of AMARIMA - a hot experience design consultancy crafting deeply resonant and immersive experiences that fuse multi-sensorial design, narrative-based hospitality, and behavioral design. She and her team work with some of the world's top hotel brands, experience-driven companies, and individuals to "turn up the dial on life." Among the many things she's done, she's traveled the world living out of a backpack, interviewed famous environmentalists in viral YouTube videos, written a book of travel stories that’s in bookstores across the US, hosted multiple podcasts, guest lectured in media and storytelling at top universities, and coached and mentored thousands of people who want to live deep and fulfilling lives. Jenna also founded and chairs the mentorship organization The Human Board. With her home in Barcelona and work happening in cities around the world, Jenna hosts Coffee Club Barcelona to bring together high-quality, high-vibe people, and foster real community.

Hi there, Welcome to like to our first meeting of the Curious Minds Club.🧐☺️ The idea is simple: once a month we gather in a small group to share and discuss topics that genuinely interest us. Format: Each participant prepares (or improvises) a 5-minute talk on any topic they like. It could be: * a book you recently read * something new you learned * an idea or insight you’ve been thinking about * a hobby or passionliterally anything you find interesting After each short talk, the group can ask questions and have a short discussion. Why are we doing this? The goal is to practice public speaking, share ideas, and learn from each other. Sometimes explaining something out loud helps us understand it better — and you might be surprised how interesting the conversations can become. First meeting 📅 March 29 ⏰ 11:00 The language of your talk can be any language you feel comfortable with 🙂 The goal is simply to create a space where people can share ideas, inspire each other, and maybe see things from a new perspective. Join us!

Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then you will enjoy this event. We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. WHAT TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? EVERYONE AND ANYONE IS WELCOME The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world. To learn more, visit https://socratescafe.com.

**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
