Intuitive Collages Therapy
*Please send me a message or call to book your place in the session, and let me know if you need to arrange a different time. Thank you!*
About
I absolutely love creating intuitive collages with people! It is an accessible and beautiful art form that is easy, efficient, fun and expressive. To create an intuitive collage, we simply cut out, glue and assemble various images to create a brand new picture. It does not need to make rational sense - it's all about letting go and allowing our intuition to guide us.
Collage therapy involves the free-associative choosing of imagery and words, and recycling. Because collage is a projective technique, creating without preconceived intentions allows us to tap into our unconscious thoughts and emotions.
The practical benefits of collage are:
* Collages are easy to create, and no artistic skills are required.
The emotional benefits of collage are:
* Intuitive collage bypasses our censoring mind and can surprise us with new information about our inner life.
* It provides a "symbolic release" of emotions, even if we are not yet conscious of what they are.
* Collage can help us to "meet" and accept the inner parts of ourselves that we do not normally express from our socialized self.
* It expresses the various aspects of our personality in visual form, helping us to understand, organize and sort out our "inner landscape" so that we can witness it compassionately.
* The imagery and colors in an intuitive collage can reveal emotions more powerfully than verbal self-expression. We can FEEL imagery on nonverbal levels.
About me
Hi, I'm Valentina - an artist, Creative Art Therapist, yoga, dance, and pilates teacher. Originally from Latin America, I've lived in New York, London, and now Barcelona for a while. I draw inspiration from traveling and sharing the art-making process with people to help them expand their creative potential. As an artist and teacher, I've traveled the world and always carry color pencils and a block to socialize in creative ways! I believe that each one of us is inherently creative and infused with the gift of imagination to shape our experience into creative expression.

The Play Reading Book Club
This month's pick: 'Fairview' by Jackie Sibblies Drury
**[BUY THE BOOK HERE](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/fairview/)**
A book club with a twist led by local theatremaker and teacher Ian Oxlade. Like any book club, we'll initially discuss points of interest, themes and characters. We'll then discuss staging options for specific scenes or moments before we workshop dialogue which interests the group. Ian will use games and warm-ups to help the group if necessary but in a very inclusive way. There will be no pressure.
A great opportunity to meet people, engage with a new play and explore your own creativity.
**Instructions**
1. Swing by the shop to pick up a copy of your book
2. Read it
3. Come discuss it
Ioga, meditació, art i escriptura terapèutica. @cercleahimsa. Prova gratuïta.
Instagram: @cercleahimsa
Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar. Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar...
El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística.
Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau.

Creative Art Workshop/ Taller creativo
*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! For more information and to book your space, please send me a WhatsApp message.

Taller práctico de Oratoria: Juicio simulado
En esta sesión de oratoria haremos algo diferente: **simularemos un juicio** para trabajar la **oratoria persuasiva** en un entorno dinámico y participativo.
No se trata de actuar ni de conocimientos legales, sino de **cómo construimos argumentos, cómo escuchamos al otro y cómo defendemos una idea bajo presión**. Una experiencia práctica para entender el impacto real de la comunicación en la toma de decisiones.
### **¿Cómo funciona la sesión?**
* 2 participantes harán de **fiscales** y 2 de **abogados defensores** (con una preparación mínima).
* El resto del grupo actuará como **jurado**, escuchando, votando y aportando feedback centrado en la oratoria.
* Las intervenciones serán de **3 minutos**, con tiempo controlado y alegatos finales.
### **Qué trabajaremos**
* Argumentación y persuasión
* Improvisación
* Escucha activa
* Presencia, claridad y gestión del tiempo
### **El caso**
Un empresario aparece muerto en su despacho tras una reunión con sus empleados.
Existen pruebas, contradicciones y todos los presentes tienen posibles motivos.
La pregunta que guiará la sesión es simple:
**¿Es culpable el acusado?**
⚠️ Este ejercicio expone de forma consciente mecanismos de persuasión, sesgos y prejuicios utilizados en la oratoria.
Los argumentos expresados durante la sesión **no representan las opiniones ni los valores personales de los participantes ni del grupo**.
Una sesión intensa, práctica y reveladora sobre el poder de la palabra.
