Our theme for May is CONFESSIONS! Truths spoken aloud. Truths written and never sent. Truths confessed too late—or too early. Give us stories of secrets revealed, apologies offered, feelings admitted, and words that changed the course of things. Confessions made out of love, fear, guilt, or necessity. **As always, interpret the theme freely.** 📍 **Where:** Café El Noa Noa, C/Villarroel 71, Eixample 🕢 **When:** Wednesday, May 27th **Time:** Doors at 19:00 — Stories from 19:30 to 21:30 💶 **Free entry** \| **Donations welcome** **Please come just to listen or get on stage,** be vulnerable, and share with us, a diverse group of welcoming and open people who are curious about each others' lives. Stories will last from 7 to 10 minutes. Expect ten stories plus an intermission. **Storytelling Barcelona is a completely free event run by volunteers.** We welcome everyone to get on stage! Absolutely no experience is necessary. We only ask that stories be true and personal and that they are performed as opposed to read—and they should be stories instead of philosophical musings, motivational speeches, or stand-up routines. The content is completely at the discretion of the storyteller as long as it is related in the monthly theme and respectful to the diversity and experiences of all humans. **Interested in sharing a story?** Spots are volunteer-based and given on a first come, first serve basis. [Sign up through our form](https://forms.gle/gDY6vAA7fdiBwAC4A). For any questions or concerns, reach out to us via DM! find us on Instagram @storytellingbarcelona **Bring some cash for the tip jar!** We will always remain free because we want to be an event open to everyone! We do have a donation jar at the event that helps sustain the project, so bring some extra change and toss it in. **No RSVP needed to be part of the audience** — just walk in, grab a seat, and join us for an evening of community, courage, and connection. We also have a podcast if you want to enjoy stories from home called **[What Lingers.](https://www.instagram.com/whatlingerspod)** You can find it on all podcast platforms!

Culture Jam welcomes[ La Casa Roja](https://www.instagram.com/lacasaroja.barcelona/)! A space for cyclical living, women’s health, yoga and collective care. On the occasion of International Menstrual Health Day, we invite you to gather for an intimate and open conversation around menstrual health, wellbeing and menstrual rights. This encounter marks the beginning of La Casa Roja, a project that creates spaces for embodied wellbeing, yoga, education, dialogue, and community and planetary care through a feminist and holistic approach to women’s health. Menstrual health continues to be surrounded by silence, stigma and misinformation. Yet talking about our cycles also means talking about health, rights, emotions, work, relationships, rest and the ways we inhabit our bodies. This gathering is an invitation to reconnect with the body as a source of knowledge, intuition and collective wisdom. Together we will reflect on: • menstrual health and cyclical awareness • menstrual dignity and rights • collective care and women’s wellbeing • why creating spaces for these conversations matters. The event will be held in both English and Spanish. No prior knowledge is needed, only openness, curiosity and the desire to share space with others. The event will also include the presentation of La Casa Roja’s vision, future activities and community initiatives. ✨ Come as you are. ✨Non menstruators are welcome ✨ Bring a friend if you’d like. ✨ Let’s open the conversation together.
