• 1.5 hours sailing along the coast as the sun rises 🌊
• Bring something to drink or snack on ☕
What to bring:
• Waterproof or grippy footwear 👟

• Towel if you fancy a swim 🏊
Price: 30€ per person
⚠️ This is a time-sensitive activity. The boat leaves at the scheduled time. Please arrive 5–10 minutes early.
(ES)
Solo hay un amanecer. Salimos a la hora.
Únete a una salida en velero en grupo reducido frente a la costa de Barcelona al amanecer — uno de los momentos más tranquilos y especiales que tiene el Mediterráneo.
Cómo funciona:
• Quedamos directamente en el barco 🗺️
• Instrucciones básicas de seguridad y zarpamos
• 1.5 horas navegando por la costa mientras sale el sol 🌊

Coffee Connections
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).
NVC Practice group
This group is an open **space for people who already have some experience with Nonviolent Communication** and would like to continue developing their skills in a supportive environment. Together we explore real-life situations, practice empathy and honest expression. We support each other in integrating NVC more fully into daily life.
Because this is a **practice group rather than a beginner training**, participants are expected to already be familiar with the basic NVC model and terminology. The intention is to create a space where you can learn, develop and strengthen your capacity for compassionate communication.
* **Price:** 5,- (sign up needed)
* **location**: [Plaça d'Herenni 11 ATempo Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place/NVC+Barcelona/@41.3761618,2.1410655,524m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x12a4998f0ed7d789:0x75a7f4a4c11ddea3!8m2!3d41.3761578!4d2.1436404!16s%2Fg%2F11zj0mczy0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkyMi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D)
* **Reservation & info:** [Info & Sign up](https://www.nvcbarcelona.com/services-store/p/practice-group-march-29-1500-1800h)
**About me:**
I'm originally from the Netherlands where I’ve been offering NVC training since 2015. I completed my certification in 2018.
From all the tools and methods I’ve encountered in my journey as a human, social worker, and coach NVC has stood out to me for its clarity, depth, and its unique combination of simplicity and power. I moved to Barcelona in 2024 and I'm excited to continue offering courses and retreats here.

SUNSET DEEP HOUSE YOGA *FREE*
**FLOW STATE MEETS FREEDOM PARTY.**
**PLEASE SIGN UP FOR EVENT DETAILS HERE:**
https://luma.com/deephouseyoga
This isn’t your average yoga class.
It’s the kind of session that makes you forget where your mat ends and the music begins.
Welcome to **DEEP HOUSE YOGA**, a free weekly community vibe where golden hour, deep beats, and full-body flow collide.
Think: sunsets, melodic house, dynamic movement, laughs and a beautiful community.
You’ll move, you’ll breathe, you’ll drop in, and somewhere between the beat drops and your breath, you’ll remember what it feels like to be fully *here*
Grounded, connected, rooted in a silent truth that needed to come back to the surface.
Like a deep remembering of **who tf you are.**
This isn’t about being perfect or zen, it’s about getting out of your head, into your body, and letting go of all the noise of the week.
✨ **Bring:**
* Your mat (or towel, we don’t judge)
* Comfy clothes
* Water
* Your friends
* And an open vibe
Come for the beats + movement
Stay for the sunsets, the laughs, and the kind of people you actually want to hang out with.

Happy to Gather | Meet Your Future Friends in Barcelona
\-\-\-\-\- GET YOUR TICKETS ON [LUMA](https://luma.com/s1bi50jr) \-\-\-\-\-
# A social event designed for real connection.
We created an event where getting to know people is the main experience.
Because most social events somehow end up in the same conversations:
Where are you from?
What do you do?
How long have you been in Barcelona?
Nice… but we believe meeting new people can be more interesting than that.
Happy to Gather brings together curious people for an afternoon of good conversations in a relaxed setting.
We use simple social dynamics that make it easy to meet others and talk about things that are actually interesting.
No phones during the experience.
No alcohol either.
Just being present and seeing what happens.
***
# What happens during the event
Around 20 people come together for a 2-hour social experience designed to make meeting new people feel natural.
You’ll meet different people throughout the event through simple activities that make conversations flow easily (no awkward moments, promise).
Some moments are more playful, others more thoughtful, always relaxed and social.
By the end of the event, you will have met everyone in the room.
Many people stay afterwards to keep talking, exchange contacts or just hang out a bit longer.
***
## The vibe
Relaxed.
Open.
Social.
Most people arrive not knowing anyone. Many come alone. And somehow, it always works out.
***
## What to expect
* a warm welcome and introduction
* simple, thoughtful activities designed to spark good conversations
* a fully hosted experience from start to finish
* meet different people throughout the event
* conversations beyond small talk
* no phones during the experience
* no alcohol
* a small group (around 20 people)
* relaxed and welcoming atmosphere
* drinks and snacks included
* time to stay and continue conversations afterwards
***
## Who this is for
People living in Barcelona who:
* enjoy meeting new people
* are curious about others
* want to expand their social circle
* enjoy meaningful conversations
* prefer smaller, more intentional social settings
Most attendees are internationals building their life in Barcelona.
Many friendships in the city have **started at Happy to Gather events.**

Soulbits Circle: A Monthly Gathering
**Soulbits Circle: A Monthly Gathering**
**Every fragment of your story is medicine; come weave it into being**
**Hosted by: Caitlynn Fortson**
**[www.kalikwellnesswithin.org](www.kalikwellnesswithin.org) \| [www.centerfornewlife.org](www.centerfornewlife.org)**
**The Center for New Life or Virtual, upon request**
**Monthly Circles \| Fridays 6:30\-7:30PM**
**Upcoming Dates: 5/1, 5/29, 6/26, 7/24, 8/28, 9/25, 10/23, 11/27, 12/18**
A monthly healing space where we gather to tend the pieces of ourselves and weave them back into wholeness that we are. Each session opens with a Soulbits oracle image setting the tone for the gathering we will move through. We will come together to honor the natural rhythms of rooting, rising, releasing, and receiving; the cycles that shape the soul’s journey.
Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen.
This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are.
*Energy Exchange: 1-group $20-40 or 6-group $115*

Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
How to Be a Better Communicator - Free Seminar
Communication is everything in life
You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.
\- What if you could confidently talk to anyone?
\- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation?
\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio
1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215
