This book club approaches foundational texts that have shaped the past three centuries through a cross-disciplinary reading series that invites us to engage with the questions of our present. Each session pairs one of these works with a strictly contemporary text (as an optional reading), creating a dialogue in which the past becomes a lens for thinking the present, and vice versa. **No academic background is required; curiosity and openness are all you need.** *BUY THE BOOKS HERE:* **This month we will be reading [Against Interpretation and Other Essays by Susan Sontag.](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/against-interpretation/) Paired with [Ways of Seeing by John Berger](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/ways-of-seeing/).** Hosted by Josefina Alippi

🚀 Hey, everyone! The **largest English-speaking tech & business community from Andalucía** is now coming to Barcelona! What started as a bi-weekly morning coffee uniting like-minded entrepreneurial minds in Málaga ☕️ is expanding — and we’re bringing that same raw energy, openness, and connection to Barcelona. As always, there’s no formal agenda or moderation — just real, unfiltered conversations in English (and a bit of Spanish) 🗣️ Our focus remains the same: cultivating meaningful relationships, creating space to exchange ideas, share journeys, and learn from others building in the startup ecosystem 👥 It’s the perfect environment to test ideas, form new alliances, and spark unexpected collaborations — all over great coffee and breakfast. Let’s gather, connect, and dive into thoughtful conversations in a relaxed setting. Barcelona, we’re coming!

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs.

Vivimos en una realidad compartida, aparentemente objetiva, regida por ciertas reglas del “campo de juego”. Sin embargo, el ser humano, a través de su propio sistema de funcionamiento —mente, emociones y biología—, genera una realidad de segundo orden que interactúa constantemente con esa matriz. Comprender cómo funcionan estas reglas y aprender a manejarlas puede convertirse en una de las claves para crear una realidad más alineada con nuestro propósito de vida y vivir con mayor plenitud y consciencia. En esta conferencia exploraremos, desde una mirada integradora que conecta psicología, biología y física, cómo funciona esta “matrix” y cuál es el verdadero sistema operativo del ser humano. Tomaremos conciencia de posibles distorsiones en nuestra forma de percibir y procesar la realidad, y veremos cómo reprogramar nuestro propio sistema interno para sostener un estado mental y emocional más elevado que impulse cambios reales en nuestra vida. Porque quizá la cuestión no sea **escapar de la Matrix**, sino comprender las reglas del juego… para aprender a jugar mejor. ✨ **Ponente:** Judith Vidal - Psicóloga **Colaboración**: 5€ én efectivo. No Bizum. (Costes de sala y organización) **Formato**: Presencial y participativo.

Es una sesión de liberación energética en la que se potencia tu propia Energía Vital. Por eso, uno de los primeros beneficios de la sesión es sentirte en revitalizada, en calma, ligera...A partir de ahí, puedes experimentar mucho más. Es una sesión grupal aunque la experiencia es totalmente personal. Durante la sesión, estás tumbada con los ojos cerrados y escuchando una playlist de música que te lleva a diferentes estados. Mientras tanto, yo voy tocando en diferentes lugares energéticos para ayudarte al proceso de liberación. Es una sesión para regalarte un espacio para sentirte en conexión contigo misma. Mis grupos son pequeños e íntimos para que te sientas sostenida y cuidada en todo momento. Recomendaciones: \- Usar ropa cómoda \- Comer ligero \- Venir con el corazón abierto para sentir cómo se expresa tu propia energía \- Traer antifaz si eres muy sensible a la luz \- Hay esterillas y mantas pero si quieres traer tu propio material está perfecto\. \- Traer tu propia botella de agua Lugar: Espai Entre Vidas.

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.
