Cacao Ceremony

**Invitation** **We are the instruments.** A participatory, improvised, embodied practice that reconnects us to one another through rhythm, voice, and play. This is a guided yet fully improvised experience, using the facilitation tools and methods of [Musica do Circulo](https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en). No prior experience is required, only an openness to connect with other humans in your own fun, light and authentic way. Circle songs are an invitation into a fully immersive, fully improvised musical experience using vocals, body percussion and movement. It draws inspiration from musical embodied rhythm practices from around the world, including call-and-response singing, rhythmic clapping games and circle song traditions. *"We are doing something that is so human and so needed, something that we've forgotten." - Igor, circle participant May 2025* Simply by standing in a circle and connecting with our bodies as our instruments, we are reminded that we can find joy and meaning right here in this present moment, and in the next. **This event is donation-based. What does this mean?** It means pay if and what you can, so that everyone can join. It also means spreading the word and bringing your friends to keep this going strong! If you think your company, organisation, team, or event could benefit from a similar experience — please reach out. That's how we sustain it in the long run. **Doors close at 18.45** [Join the WhatsApp community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IEKLeWAAIxP0I2MFUaSP1c?mode=gi_t) to contact the organisers and stay up to date on all circles! **About Matteo (facilitator):** Matteo is a creative facilitator who uses embodied practices — music, theatre, play — to spark connection and joy. He has spent the last seven years working with Greenpeace and organising the Climate Justice Camps, a global gathering of thousands of young people from around the world. He is a trained Música do Círculo leader\*.\* *[www.matteodevos.com](http://www.matteodevos.com)*

### ¿Qué son las constelaciones familiares? Una constelación familiar es un método que nos permite dilucidar esos eventos que han podido causar un impacto profundo, a partir del cual, la armonía familiar se ha visto perturbada, estas dificultades pueden ser tanto de convivencia, de salud, de profesión, de pareja, etc. y sobre las cuales no se tiene control. A través de la puesta en escena que nos permite la constelación podemos tomar conciencia del origen del conflicto. Recreando la organización de la familia, o de cualquier otro sistema, las relaciones dentro del mismo se hacen visibles y con ellas las causas que han generado el conflicto pueden aclararse. Los participantes observaron como las dinámicas no resultaron les han estado aparecido, a veces, desde la infancia. Esa visualización y las propuestas de reparación por el terapeuta, rescatan al “paciente” de la culpa y le permiten recrear una nueva y liberadora imagen de solución. ### ¿Cómo puedo hacer mi constelación familiar? Hay dos formas de participar en este taller: 1. Como participar (que muestra los patrones inconscientes para el “paciente”) 2. Como “paciente” que recibe la Constela 3. Participar 20€ 4.

**HOLA HOLA. We're going to hang out at an amazing coffee spot this time and not go for a walk. Are you in?** We're back at it and are going to linger with our friends Carlos and Maria at Old Coffees House.... This isn't your usual coffee club. Inspired by how great it is to grab a coffee with a cool friend weekly, you will: **INVITATION: Thursday 11 June, 10:00am - 11:30am @** Old Coffees House, Rambla de Prat, 10, Gràcia, 08012 Barcelona * Meet up with high-quality, high-vibe people, at a great Barcelona coffee spot \*THIS TIME AT OLD COFFEES HOUSE, Rambla de Prat 10 Gràcia\* * Order an artisanal coffee from true coffee experts Carlos and Maria of Old Coffees House. I've introduced so many of you to Carlos and Maria. It's time to celebrate this incredible coffee spot, featuring coffee from their finca in Colombia, and the community builders that they both are. \*\*\*Note that it takes a while to have your coffee made here, so be patient and chat with each other while it all percolates.\*\*\* Their pink bourbon filter is my (Jenna's) favorite coffee in the whole city. I host most of my meetings at their bar. * Linger and vibe in this gorgeous space, or go for a walk around the block with a cool stranger, and have a juicy chat \*OUR CONVERSATION STARTER FOR THIS EVENT IS *"True 'luxury' for me means..."* For Coffee Club in 2026 we're moving past examining words and terms and deeper into the human experience. This time we're starting our conversations with each other with the sentence "*True 'luxury' for me means..."* Feel that? We want to know about it. * Experience that happy, buoyant feeling that comes from an engaging, pleasant chat * Continue on with the rest of your day Disclaimers: This meetup is free, but logically you must purchase your own coffee or beverage of your choice directly with Carlos and Maria. The primary language of this meetup will be English, the organizer Jenna also speaks Spanish for any questions or needs. 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. 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 stranger, or changes it up a bit to encourage connection. Note that Jenna is intentionally keeping this group free and using the power of it to support local third space coffee spots that bring people together in Barcelona. 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, or find her at the next coffee club and say the code word: kaleidoscope. Meeting up in person **INVITATION: Thursday 11 June, 10:00am - 11:30pm @Old Coffees House, \*Rambla de Prat 10** Who is shaping the experience of this group?

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.
