Conscious Movement

A relaxed aperitivo & conversation for people who want energy, not obsession. 📍**Location: El Born area, Barcelona** (exact address shared with registered participants) 🕖 **Date & Time:** February 17th \| 6:30–9:00 PM We care about our health. We try to do the “right” things. We eat better. Move more. Take supplements. And still… many of us are mostly guessing without feeling results. **So, what is this evening really about?** We believe health is not about doing more, but about doing the right things in the right order. Instead of chasing trends or optimizing every detail, we’ll explore a simple, bio-logical framework that creates clarity and impact without obsession. **We’ll talk about:** •⁠ ⁠why your health starts at the **cellular level** •⁠ ⁠why **chronic inflammation** quietly drains your energy and mental capacity •⁠ ⁠how your **nervous system** shapes focus, resilience, and decision-making •⁠ ⁠why **gut health** is a foundation for energy, recovery, and overall vitality And most importantly: how to stop working blindly and start working **test-based and root-focused.** Small, smart steps. Big leverage. No fanatic rules. Yes, you can still enjoy pizza, ice cream, and life. 🤌🏻 Because real health comes from additional nourishment, not restriction. **Who this event is for:** •⁠ ⁠people who want clarity instead of confusion •⁠ ⁠people who want simple steps with real impact •⁠ ⁠health-conscious humans who enjoy good conversations and good energy •⁠ ⁠anyone who wants to make conscious choices for their health Come curious. Leave clearer. And maybe with a few new connections that you enjoy 😊 Looking forward to meeting you, Marta & Jana

Escapa del ruido de la ciudad y regula tu sistema nervioso en comunidad. Cada martes nos reunimos en la playa de Bogatell para poner los pies en la arena, exponernos al sol y disfrutar de un baño de agua fría. Un espacio gratuito para personas que buscan salud física, emocional y una tribu respetuosa. ### **¿Sientes que el ritmo de la ciudad te desconecta de tí mismo?** Como especialistas en Terapia Somática sabemos que, entre tanto asfalto, encontrar momentos de regulación natural no es fácil. Por eso, hemos decidido crear este espacio semanal para encontrarnos, respirar y volver a lo básico. **¿Qué hacemos?** Nuestra propuesta es simple pero profunda. Nos regalamos una mañana de autocuidado a través de tres pilares: 1. **Grounding**: Caminar descalzos y contactar con la arena y el agua para descargar tensiones. 2. **Exposición al Frío**: Un baño en invierno en el Mediterráneo para activar el sistema inmune y resetear la mente. 3. **Baño de Sol y Tribu**: Compartir un momento de calor, con exposición a la luz solar (o luz natural) y charla auténtica, creando vínculos desde el respeto y la presencia. ### **¿Para quién es este grupo?** Para cualquier persona que busque un entorno seguro, respetuoso y con ganas de compartir. No importa si es tu primera vez bañándote en invierno o si ya tienes experiencia; aquí lo importante es la conexión social y sentir más el cuerpo. **¿Qué traer?** Ropa cómoda, toalla, agua y/o bebida caliente y, sobre todo, ganas de presencia. **A tener en cuenta:** * **Puntualidad:** Como es un espacio abierto, dejar claro en los comentarios del evento si te retrasas 5 minutos, se comunicará a que lado del espigón estaremos por whatsapp, para que puedan encontrarnos fácilmente. * **Consistencia:** Aunque seamos pocos al principio, mantenemos la constancia. Las “tribus” tardan un poquito en cuajar, pero cuando crecen despacio suelen construir vínculos fuertes. Nota importante: No es una clase dirigida, sino un encuentro entre iguales para compartir prácticas de regulación natural.

**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. 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.

Taller de Movimiento consciente y meditación activa online. Viernes 20 de febrero a las 18h

**How to take control of your subconscious and harness its power!** Join us for an eye-opening lecture where the speaker will break down complex ideas in a clear and practical way. You’ll gain insights into: ✅ The true definition of the subconscious ✅ How it generates unwanted emotions ✅ Its real purpose and function ✅ What determines the pressure it exerts on you And the most important topic: **How do you take control of your subconscious!** But this isn’t just another lecture where you sit and listen passively. It’s interactive and engaging—you can ask questions at any time. 📅 Reserve your spot now! Seats are limited, so don’t wait too long to sign up. Location: 1266 Dublin Rd, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

**Community Dance – Every Friday at Unity of Columbus** Let go of the week’s stress and move into joy! Join us every Friday for an evening of community, connection, and dance at Unity of Columbus. It’s a chance to meet new friends, express yourself through movement, and experience the emotional healing that comes from music and rhythm. No dance experience needed — just bring your energy, an open heart, and your dancing shoes! Dance is freedom. Dance is healing. Dance is fun.

Are you passionate about supporting other men on their mental health journey? We’re building a movement of virtual and in-person men’s groups across Ohio — and we’re looking for group leaders who want to make a real difference with us. As a group leader, you’ll create a safe space where men can connect, reflect, and grow together.

THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
