**EN:** **Who this is for** This is a small gathering (max 10 people) for people who organize workshops, retreats, courses or learning experiences in Barcelona. Whether you run yoga retreats, creative workshops, business masterminds or skill-based courses, this space is for organizers who are actively building and selling experiences. **Why this meetup** Running experiences is rewarding, but the operational side is rarely discussed openly: * Filling spots consistently * Pricing strategy * Marketing channels * Partnerships * Managing participants * Tools and automation This is not a generic networking event. It’s a focused conversation between people facing similar challenges. **Format** • Informal coffee meetup • 10 organizers max • Open discussion • Practical exchange of ideas and tools If you’re actively organizing events and want to connect with others doing the same, you’re welcome to join. Spots are limited to keep the conversation high quality. **ES:** **Quién es para este encuentro** Este es un encuentro pequeño (máximo 10 personas) para quienes organizan talleres, retiros, cursos o experiencias formativas en Barcelona. Ya sea que organices retiros de yoga, talleres creativos, masterminds de negocios o cursos prácticos, este espacio está pensado para personas que están construyendo y vendiendo experiencias activamente. **Por qué este meetup** Organizar experiencias es gratificante, pero rara vez hablamos abiertamente de la parte operativa: * Cómo llenar plazas de forma constante * Estrategia de precios * Canales de marketing * Colaboraciones y alianzas * Gestión de participantes * Herramientas y automatización No es un evento de networking genérico. Es una conversación enfocada entre personas que enfrentan retos similares. **Formato** • Encuentro informal en una cafetería • Máximo 10 organizadores • Conversación abierta • Intercambio práctico de ideas y herramientas Si estás organizando experiencias activamente y quieres conectar con otras personas que están en lo mismo, eres bienvenido/a. Las plazas son limitadas para mantener una conversación de calidad.

Ever wondered how to make cities more human? Perhaps you also harbour a feeling that our neighbours in the same cities do not seem to care much about the causes that you are so passionate about, including climate change? Great that you got the itch for change and you are not alone! Our modern city lives are stressful and isolating, but it doesn't have to be this way. And you might be able to find your own niche and connection to drive this change. With these thoughts, we’d like to invite you to a talk and discussion that will go deep into cities, human connections and activism. Masho (they/them), our speaker joins us from[ Soko Foundation,](https://sokofoundation.org/) which is dedicated to bringing the topic of community-oriented and ecological urbanisation to wider audiences and decision-makers. The team does this by working with youth adult groups, non-formal education, documentaries, research, innovative projects, direct support of urban initiatives, working with policymakers, creating publications, and much more. Bringing knowledge from activism, architecture and urbanisation, Masho currently leads on the aspects related to Administration, Strategy, Education, Digital, Training at Soko. **The proposed agenda is roughly:** • Welcome & Introduction • Overview of Soko’s mission on humanising cities • The challenges and Soko’s proposal for change (community projects such as urban gardening, energy saving) • Project invite: Urban gardening – applying permaculture in the city context • Break out discussions: using a map to guide more localised discussions Hope to see you at this event to explore how you can contribute to humanise cities and bring more energy into social change in cities! The event is free for everyone. **We kindly ask for a donation of 3-5 euros (depending on the amount of attendees) to cover the cost of space rental and Meet-up subscription fee for the group**. Thank you!

Guided Meditation & Community ✨ Join us for a guided meditation in nature 🌳 After the session, we continue with coffee & bites at a place nearby ☕️ The meditation is guided in English. The event is donation-based. Title of meditation: Awakening

My IG: https://www.instagram.com/valeria_cooks_/ Finally back to it! 👩🏾‍🍳 During the last event there was a lot of sharing around very interesting topics & situations: what does it mean to live with someone who is not vegan, how to “survive” during festivities when you’re the only vegan (or simply the only person making conscious or different decisions with food), how social life changes when you’re the only vegan in your group of friends and much more. Does this resonates with you? Would you like to meet with like-minded people while having delicious plant-based food? ❤️‍🔥Join the next “Strangers at first bite”. It is not just a brunch. This event is a gathering to come together around food, listening, and intention. A space for vegans, people in transition, or simply curious minds, where we can share from personal experience: the paths that have led us to question what we eat, our deeper motivations, the emotional and social challenges, and the small everyday decisions that are part of a bigger change. Food will be a tool for connection and reflection: a political, ethical, and also loving act. Through dialogue, we seek to plant questions, awaken awareness, and strengthen the idea that other ways of relating to animals, the earth, and to each other are possible—and increasingly essential. You don’t need to have answers or a defined position. Just come with openness, respect, and a willingness to inhabit a space where care, dialogue, and community are at the center. 🍽️ MENU (100% PLANT-BASED & GLUTEN-FREE): 🌱 Buckwheat crêpes filled with creamy scrambled tofu, spring onion, grilled mushrooms and tamari pecans. 🌱 Maple roasted carrots with hazelnut,basil and carrots leaves pesto. 🌱 Miso apple with hazelnut crumble and spiced custard. ☕️ Herbal teas 🍶 Flavored water CONTRIBUTION: 28€ LIMITED SPOTS: 8 💬 For questions, more info, reservations, and details, message me privately. Val 🌱 Spanish version: Mi IG: [https://www.instagram.com/valeria_cooks_/](https://www.instagram.com/valeria_cooks_/) ¡Por fin de vuelta! 👩🏾‍🍳 Durante el último encuentro hubo mucho intercambio en torno a temas y situaciones muy interesantes: ¿Qué significa convivir con alguien que no es vegano? ¿Cómo “sobrevivir” a las festividades cuando eres la única persona vegana (o simplemente la única que toma decisiones conscientes o diferentes con la comida)? ¿Cómo cambia la vida social cuando eres la única persona vegana en tu grupo de amigos? Y mucho más. ¿Esto resuena contigo? ¿Te gustaría conocer a personas afines mientras disfrutas de deliciosa comida plant-based? ❤️‍🔥 Únete al próximo “Strangers at first bite”. No es solo un brunch. Este encuentro es una invitación a reunirnos alrededor de la comida, la escucha y la intención. Un espacio para personas veganas, en transición o simplemente con curiosidad, donde podamos compartir desde la experiencia personal: los caminos que nos han llevado a cuestionar lo que comemos, nuestras motivaciones más profundas, los desafíos emocionales y sociales, y las pequeñas decisiones cotidianas que forman parte de un cambio mayor. La comida será una herramienta de conexión y reflexión: un acto político, ético y también amoroso. A través del diálogo, buscamos sembrar preguntas, despertar conciencia y reforzar la idea de que otras formas de relacionarnos con los animales, la tierra y entre nosotras/os son posibles —y cada vez más necesarias. No necesitas tener respuestas ni una postura definida. Solo venir con apertura, respeto y la disposición de habitar un espacio donde el cuidado, el diálogo y la comunidad estén en el centro. 🍽️ MENÚ (100% PLANT-BASED Y SIN GLUTEN): 🌱 Crêpes de trigo sarraceno rellenos de revuelto cremoso de tofu, cebolla tierna, champiñones a la plancha y pecanas con tamari. 🌱 Zanahorias asadas con sirope de arce, con pesto de avellanas, albahaca y hojas de zanahoria. 🌱 Manzana al miso con crumble de avellanas y crema especiada. ☕️ Infusiones 🍶 Agua saborizada APORTACIÓN: 28€ PLAZAS LIMITADAS: 8 💬 Para preguntas, más información, reservas y detalles, escríbeme por privado.

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

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!
