Hablar es mejor (Clase de conversación y errores en español)
Buenas!
(English below)
Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial.
Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial.
El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más.
Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores:
Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales,
y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones?
La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases.
Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas.
Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases.
Vente y hablamos.
Rafa.

Hi!
Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great.
If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great.
The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more.
All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes:
Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions,
and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations?
People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes.
If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things.
There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes.
Let´s talk.
Rafa.

Improv is a beautiful moving meditation. It demands that you pay close attention to your own mind and body, tune into the presence and energies of your co-improviser(s) and watch it all unfold in the present moment, all at once. And we have been gifted with the most powerful tool to do this - our awareness. In this workshop, we will immerse ourselves in a series of exercises, meditations and movement practices to calm the mind and direct the awareness, allowing you to tap into your creativity like never before.

Paz Interior: lo que necesitas soltar para sentirla
Muchos intentan “alcanzar” la paz como si fuera un estado que se consigue haciendo más cosas.
Más técnicas. Más control. Más esfuerzo.
Y sin embargo, la sensación interna no cambia.
La calma no suele depender de añadir algo nuevo.
Depende de dejar de sostener aquello que la interfiere.
Este encuentro presencial está orientado a identificar qué dinámicas internas están manteniendo tensión, ruido mental o resistencia emocional, y cómo empezar a retirarlas de forma práctica.
Trabajaremos:
– qué es realmente la agitación interna y cómo se mantiene
– por qué intentar “forzar la calma” suele generar más tensión
– qué cargas psicológicas sigues sosteniendo sin darte cuenta
– cómo empezar a despejar espacio mental sin luchar contigo
No es una sesión teórica ni una experiencia mística.
Es un espacio práctico, claro y aplicable.
Este encuentro es para ti si:
– sientes que tu mente rara vez descansa
– arrastras preocupaciones que no terminan de cerrarse
– percibes tensión interna incluso cuando “todo va bien”
– quieres abordar la paz desde un enfoque realista y entrenable
Formato: Presencial
Hora: 10:45
Lugar: Obrador 365
Rda. de Sant Pere, 26, Eixample, 08010 Barcelona
Aportación: 5 € (gastos de organización)
Este es un evento colaborativo junto al grupo “El Club de las Mentes Brillantes”, creando un espacio compartido para profundizar en el trabajo interior desde una perspectiva práctica y consciente.
No necesitas experiencia previa.
Solo disposición para observar con honestidad lo que estás sosteniendo.

El invierno casi ha terminado — ¡y ya están aquí las primeras flores! 🌺🌷
Vamos a celebrar la primavera en **Aitona**, caminando entre interminables hileras de árboles frutales en flor y descubriendo el paisaje modelado por la agricultura de regadío 🌳💧
Esta es la primera gran etapa de la temporada de la fruta: los campos se transforman en un mar rosa intenso, una explosión de color mágica y única en Cataluña 💖
Haremos varias paradas estratégicas donde podremos:
✅ caminar entre los árboles en flor
✅ visitar miradores naturales
✅ hacer muchas fotos bonitas 📸
🌺🌷 **Visitar el casco histórico de Aitona**
Después de unas 3 horas caminando por los campos, visitaremos el pueblo y pasearemos por algunas de sus calles más emblemáticas, descubriendo su patrimonio arquitectónico y cultural 🏠✨
❗ **Importante:** No participaremos en la ruta guiada local de “Fruiturisme” porque preferimos caminar de forma independiente por los campos.
Si quieres guía local, puedes reservarla por tu cuenta en la web de Fruiturisme y aun así venir con nosotros en el bus. Luego te explicaremos un recorrido que puedes hacer por tu cuenta.

Magical Mindfulness Tour of the Senses
[ENG]
**Please read the full description for details on booking.**
On this guided tour with a difference, discover how to live life lucidly in the present moment, open to your senses, listen to yourself and start to be your own guide!
Using a walk through the streets of Barcelona as practice, I will guide you in a mindfulness meditation which will help you get out of your head, bringing attention to your senses and the felt sensations in the body, stepping into deeper awareness of yourself, making your experience of the city even more magical and vibrant.
We will begin our time together in the hidden oasis of carrer d’Allada Vermell, in the barrio of El Born, with an initial guided meditation. From this point of connection to yourself, anchored in the present, will we continue the practice walking through El Born with its winding streets and surprises around every corner.
On our magical tour of sensorial delights, lasting approximately 2 hours, we will take in such places as the Palau de la Musica, Casa Perris, Funky Baker, Santa Maria del Mar and Santa Caterina Market, ending up at a nearby square for a chat about your experience.
Take the opportunity on your trip to tune into yourself and see how things start to unfold magically!
Leave your guidebook at home, instead come into your senses and discover your inner guide!
The experience is suitable for single travellers and includes a tea or coffee and delicious pastry.

Desorden Emocional: Reaccionar Mucho, Comprender Poco (con Ivan Aznar)
**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** **¿Sientes que reaccionas demasiado… y entiendes demasiado tarde?**
**¿Te has arrepentido de algo que dijiste en un momento de enojo, solo para darte cuenta después de que no era para tanto?**
**Desorden Emocional: Reaccionar Mucho, Comprender Poco** es un evento diseñado para quienes están cansados de vivir a merced de sus emociones, de explotar por fuera mientras por dentro hay confusión, ruido y culpa.
Muchas veces no es falta de inteligencia.
No es falta de valores.
Es falta de comprensión emocional.
Reaccionamos antes de entender.
Hablamos antes de escuchar.
Atacamos cuando en realidad estamos heridos.
Saldrás con **mayor conciencia**, más dominio propio y una nueva forma de interpretar lo que sientes antes de que eso dañe lo que amas.
Si estás listo para dejar de reaccionar en automático y empezar a comprender con intención, este evento es para ti.
Tu emoción no es el problema. El problema es no entenderla.
**Coste:** 5€ para gastos de organización.
**Dirección:** AULAS BARCELONA en calle Compte d'Urgell 168.
Te esperamos! :)

Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.
As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact?
Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization.
We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM.

Located in: The Shops at Worthington

Making Moves: Small-Group Coaching for Women in Product
## Hey Columbus WIP peeps!
## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for??
**\-\-\-\-\-\-**
**A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.**
**March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM**
**Rev1 -- NEW SPACE**
**330 Rush Alley #100**
**Parking Options:**
• **Rev1 at The Peninsula**
• **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St.
• **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St.
• **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St.
• **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St.
• **Metered Street Parking**
**What moves are you making?**
A promotion you’re working toward.
A role change you’re considering.
A bigger leadership opportunity.
A conversation that needs to happen.
A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind.
For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments.
**Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time.
Here’s how it will work:
• You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now
• You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants)
• Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area
• We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation
### Coaching Topics:
• Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team)
• Career Transitions & What’s Next
• Growing Into Leadership
• Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes
• Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership
Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about.
Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful.
If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10.
RSVP here! [https://community.womenpm.org/c/all-local-events/making-moves-a-columbus-wip-event](https://community.womenpm.org/c/all-local-events/making-moves-a-columbus-wip-event "https://community.womenpm.org/c/all-local-events/making-moves-a-columbus-wip-event")
