At the "Academia Tort" in the middle of Gràcia: Carrer Betlem 35, Barcelona. More about the repertoire: Original compositions of María, classical music, minimalism and lullabies. All played on a Yamaha acoustic Grand Piano. What to bring: You can bring your own mat or pillow (we'll let you if you don't have any) Price: Pay what you want minimum 5€ For any question or more information, send us a message!

*Please Always contact me by whats app to book your space at the workshop, thank you!* What we' ll do You don't need to be an artist to join my creative art workshop! I'll be waiting for you outside the MACBA (The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art). From there, we'll take a walk to CCCB (The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona), which has a café and co-working space. Once we get there, we'll ask for coffee/tea and get ready to embark on our creative journey! The art-making process will serve as a bridge for social and creative communication, and the theme will be centered around traveling and the things that make us vibrate. We'll start by using imagery, storytelling, and moving freely between drawing and writing to collage. We'll also work collaboratively, with each collaborator adding to a composition in sequence, allowing creativity to flow as we play. The main objective is self-expression, awakening creativity, having fun, and sharing a nice time together while colors and words come together to empower the artistic experience. I will guide you in the right direction to create something that you may have never thought of on your own, and you can take your own pace with art and bring it back home. The aim of this art workshop is to enhance your own creativity and self-expression. I will provide all the art materials, and the cost is 25 euros for a maximum of four people for a one-hour-long session. An individual session costs 40 euros. If you'd like to attend an creative art workshop please send me a message or call me to book your place. You can also arrange a different time that suits you better. Thank you very much!

What’s that sound? A new kind of Creativity Lab. ***Bluff Lab*** *is free to attend, with advance RSVP requested at* ***[bluffeducation.org](bluffeducation.org).*** Bluff Lab is an interdisciplinary creative workshop blending improvisation, writing, and sound-play. The lab explores *bluffing* not as deception, but as a creative tool: pretending, testing, and moving forward with or without certainty. Through structured prompts and playful constraints, participants are invited to loosen habits, bypass overthinking, and access new ways of making and collaborating. We begin with an open workshop focused on presence, listening, and creative risk-taking in a supportive group setting. In the second half of the evening, participants can join or observe a playful, guided jam using material generated during the workshop. Participation is always optional. **What to expect** • Guided exercises using voice, text, movement, and sound • Individual and group-based prompts • A relaxed, process-driven environment with optional sharing • No prior experience required **Who it’s for** Creatives and “*non-creatives*,” students, professionals, performers, musicians, and anyone curious about creative process. Open to all levels and backgrounds. **Details** Language: English (instructor also fluent in Castellano; participants are welcome to write and share in any language they choose) Format: Open session / drop-in Entry: Please RSVP at [bluffeducation.org](bluffeducation.org) Cost: Free; optional pay-what-you-will donation Bring: Notebook, pen or pencil, curiosity **Doors & bar:** 18:30 **Workshop:** 19:00 – 20:20 **Jam:** 20:30 – 21:30 **Location:** The BCN Studio C/ d’Elkano 26, 01A Poble Sec, Barcelona

Un espacio donde lo que importa es lo que sientes al hacerlo, no el resultado final. Este es un taller de cerámica **gratuito** y alternativo. Aquí no nos obsesionamos con la técnica, sino que le damos paso a la intuición, a lo espontáneo y a conectar con el momento presente. No venimos a enseñarte a hacer piezas perfectas; venimos a **acompañarte** para que la creatividad salga de tu propio cuerpo. Usamos métodos sencillos pero poco convencionales para soltarnos, abrirnos y reconectarnos con lo auténtico que llevamos dentro. El objetivo no es "fabricar" algo bonito, sino **experimentar y sentir** lo que surja, usando la arcilla como nuestro lenguaje. **¿Es para ti?** Si te ha resonado algo de lo que has leído, entonces sí. No necesitas ninguna experiencia previa, solo las ganas de probar. **Te ofrecemos:** * Un espacio seguro y agradable, sin prejuicios. * Los materiales y las herramientas (no hace falta que traigas nada). * Una experiencia pura: no se cocen las piezas. * **Detalles prácticos:** * **Día y hora:** Todos los miércoles, de 18:00 a 18:45. * **Precio:** Gratuito. * **Inscripción:** Apúntate aquí en Meetup. — **¿Por qué hago esto?** 1. **Porque me encanta el proceso** y quiero compartir la magia de crear sin expectativas. 2. **Para que vengas a conocer el espacio** y esta forma diferente de entender la cerámica. 3. **Es una devolución.** En su día, otros talleres gratuitos me ayudaron mucho, y esta es mi manera de devolver esa energía buena a la comunidad. **Si esta forma de crear te llama, ¡será un placer tenerte por aquí!** www.liiceramics.com IG: liiceramics

El espacio existe igual. *Grab a drink, find a spot, and draw ✍️* **Artists’ Room** is an open space to sit, share, and draw together.

**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence** What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice? In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst. Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process. This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices. **Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti** Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design. Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast. After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills. In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development. Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community. **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.*

Let’s meet, wander the exhibits and open galleries, and enjoy an evening out in the Franklinton Arts District. (Nearby pay parking is available in the garage on McDowell, right around the corner from One Line Coffee, and, past it along the curb as McDowell dead ends.)

We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator. Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking! • What we'll do Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at noon on Sundays. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: 12:00 - quick intros. 12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour. 1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you! • What to bring Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible. See you at The Café on Sunday!

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. 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024
