**The Ocean Walk: 1.1 km to cross the ocean on foot 🌊** Picture this: you're at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. 11,000 meters below the surface. Darkness. Silence. Mystery. And then you start rising. 1.1 km walking through Poble Nou, feet on the ground, head underwater. Every meter you walk = 10 meters of depth back to the surface. From the abyss to the shore. Hydrothermal vents. Sperm whales. Coral reefs. At every stop, a world most of us will never see. Its stories, its beauty, its fragility. This is the very first Ocean Walk in English in Barcelona! 💙 **What we'll experience together as a community ready to embark :** We meet in front of the Internacional Restaurant Bar in Poble Nou. We walk along the docks for 2h. We met new people about the wonders of the Ocean and We wonder. We learn. We breathe. And we ask ourselves one simple question: what is our place in this immensity? **For who?** Everyone! Families welcome (kids from 10 years old). No prior knowledge needed. Just curiosity and a smile. 😊 **Practical info:** Bring weather-appropriate clothing and your water bottle! Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time. **Pay-what-you-feel** (because the ocean belongs to everyone). Registration and pricing details here: https://www.billetweb.fr/the-first-ocean-walk-in-english This workshop is brought to you by La Fresque Océane (Ocean Collage) and facilitated by Lionel, professional diver and sailor. Format inspired by the Deep Time Walk. See you on the docks! 🐙

Culture Jam welcomes[ La Casa Roja](https://www.instagram.com/lacasaroja.barcelona/)! A space for cyclical living, women’s health, yoga and collective care. On the occasion of International Menstrual Health Day, we invite you to gather for an intimate and open conversation around menstrual health, wellbeing and menstrual rights. This encounter marks the beginning of La Casa Roja, a project that creates spaces for embodied wellbeing, yoga, education, dialogue, and community and planetary care through a feminist and holistic approach to women’s health. Menstrual health continues to be surrounded by silence, stigma and misinformation. Yet talking about our cycles also means talking about health, rights, emotions, work, relationships, rest and the ways we inhabit our bodies. This gathering is an invitation to reconnect with the body as a source of knowledge, intuition and collective wisdom. Together we will reflect on: • menstrual health and cyclical awareness • menstrual dignity and rights • collective care and women’s wellbeing • why creating spaces for these conversations matters. The event will be held in both English and Spanish. No prior knowledge is needed, only openness, curiosity and the desire to share space with others. The event will also include the presentation of La Casa Roja’s vision, future activities and community initiatives. ✨ Come as you are. ✨Non menstruators are welcome ✨ Bring a friend if you’d like. ✨ Let’s open the conversation together.

It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
