**TICKETS HERE → [https://luma.com/jp8bmq46](https://luma.com/jp8bmq46)** 🌿 **WILDFLOW VIII — Music. Movement. Connection.** *** ## 🇬🇧 ENGLISH Imagine stepping into a space where you feel free, alive, and fully yourself. Where the music awakens something deep inside you. Where every breath, every beat, every glance around the room pulls you closer into connection — with yourself, with others, with life. ✨ **This is Wildflow.** A 4-hour electronic music healing journey designed to leave you clearer, more connected, and full of life. *** ### 🌿 The Four-Stage Journey **1\. Connect — Heart Awakening** As the sun sets, we gather in ceremony with cacao. Intentions are set, hearts open, and breathwork guides you into presence. **2\. Dance — Rhythmic Flow** Organic, tribal and ethnic sounds evolve into deep electronic rhythms. No choreography — just freedom. **3\. Heal — Energetic Release** Energy rises, intensity builds, and the dancefloor becomes a space for release and expression. **4\. Integrate — Reflective Landing** The music softens, the body settles. You leave grounded, clear, and renewed. *** ### 💫 Why It’s Different That openness you usually chase with substances? Here, it happens naturally. Through breath, cacao, music and trust, you drop your guard and connect in a real, lasting way. No alcohol. No drugs. Just presence, rhythm and human energy. ✨ Come alone or with friends — connection happens naturally. *** ### 🎶 Your Invitation Wildflow is not just a night out. It’s a space where your natural essence takes the lead. Join us and remember what it feels like to be fully alive. 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/wildflow.ofc](https://www.instagram.com/wildflow.ofc) *** ## 🇪🇸 ESPAÑOL Imagina entrar en un espacio donde te sientes libre, vivo/a y completamente tú. Donde la música despierta algo profundo dentro de ti. Donde cada respiración, cada beat y cada mirada te acerca más a la conexión — contigo, con los demás y con la vida. ✨ **Esto es Wildflow.** Una jornada de 4 horas de música electrónica consciente diseñado para que salgas con más claridad, conexión y energía. *** ### 🌿 La jornada en 4 Fases **1\. Conectar — Apertura del corazón** Comenzamos con cacao, intención y respiración para llegar al presente. **2\. Bailar — Flujo rítmico** Sonidos orgánicos y tribales evolucionan hacia ritmos electrónicos profundos. Sin expectativas, solo libertad. **3\. Liberar — Expresión energética** La energía crece y el cuerpo se libera a través del movimiento. **4\. Integrar — Aterrizaje consciente** La música baja, el cuerpo se calma. Te vas más equilibrado/a y renovado/a. *** ### 💫 Por qué es diferente Ese estado de apertura que normalmente buscas fuera… Aquí sucede de forma natural. Sin alcohol. Sin drogas. Solo presencia, música y conexión real. ✨ Puedes venir solo/a o con amigos — no te irás sin conectar. *** ### 🎶 Tu invitación Wildflow no es solo una fiesta.

\-\-\-\-\- 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.** Follow us on Instagram for more on [@happytogather.now](https://www.instagram.com/happytogather.now/) *\*Refunds are available up to 24 hours before the event.* *** ## Location **MOB Caterina's Rooftop** Av. de Francesc Cambó 17, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona [Check in Maps](https://maps.app.goo.gl/r2MMfmACu4rFFLeS7) *** ## About Happy to Gather Happy to Gather creates social experiences where conversations feel natural and meeting new people becomes genuinely enjoyable. Basically, we create the kind of social events we always wished existed.

Our workshops are typically 1 to 1 and a half hours long and held in-person. Our workshops cover the same content as the online course, but they are more detailed and allow the chance to ask questions and have discussions with the presenters and other residents. We occassionally have "advanced topics" classes where you dive deeper into one topic of Community Backyards such as invasive vs. native plants or rain gardens.** **Registration is encouraged but not required.** You can register in advance to receive your voucher at the workshop. If you don't register in advance, that's okay - you can still show up (unless otherwise noted - which is very rare) and sign up for a voucher at the class, and we will send you one via email or mail within a few business days after the workshop. **"Do I have to be a resident of that community to attend that workshop?"** Nope! Our workshops are open to everyone (unless otherwise noted - which is extremely rare).
