What if your weekend didn’t rush you, but softened you? This gentle, nature-based mindfulness walk is an invitation to slow down, listen to birdsong instead of notifications, and reconnect with yourself through simple presence. No experience needed, just comfortable shoes and a willingness to be here. **Birdsong Mindfulness Walks 🐦 🌿** * Slow, nature-based mindfulness in Barcelona * Slow, mindful meditation walk (not fitness or hiking). * Birdsong as a mindfulness anchor (not birdwatching). * **[Join our Whatsapp group for walk updates](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GaajU297K67G1kyz2fy1pz)** Join a slow, mostly silent walk through the Montjuïc area, guided by birdsong, breath, and gentle presence. This is an invitation to step out of the rush of everyday life and reconnect with your body, your senses, and the natural world around you. Just walking, listening, and being here. **What we’ll do ✨** * We begin with a short, gentle grounding practice. * We walk at a slow, mindful pace (intentionally slower than a usual walk). * We use birdsong and natural sounds as anchors for awareness. * We pause at times to listen, sense, or simply be still. * We close with a few moments of shared stillness. **A note on birds 🐦** * This is not a birdwatching walk, though we use birdsong as a meditation anchor. * If you’re curious, I’m always happy to chat after the walk about birds we noticed by sight or sound. We hold a monthly gathering for amateur birdwatching. **Language 🗣** * Guided talks and meditations are currently offered in English. * I’m learning Spanish and Catalan and hope to offer guided practices in those languages in the future. **Group size 👥** * We began with very small, intimate groups due to individual Reiki sessions. As interest has grown, more spots are opening and the structure is kept simple so we can walk together more spaciously. * Returning walkers may occasionally join beyond the usual number, as they are already familiar with the pace and nature of the practice. 💛 If you’ve joined before and would like to come again, please join the waitlist or message me directly. I’ll happily mark you as going. **About the practice 💛** I’m a mindfulness teacher in training, and part of this journey includes learning through practice. You may be gently invited to share feedback to help me grow as a facilitator. If any mindfulness teacher trainees would like to co-lead or guide a future walk, feel free to reach out. I’d love to share the space. **Cost 🌿** * These walks are currently offered for free as a way of giving back. * Donations are welcome to help cover Meetup costs and keep the walks accessible: [https://www.hereaware.com/donate](https://www.hereaware.com/donate) **Weather 🌧** * Light rain can be part of the experience. Routes are chosen with mostly concrete paths, often around Jardins de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer. * In case of heavy rain, strong wind, or storm alerts, the walk will be cancelled for safety reasons. **Location and confirmation 📍** * The walk takes place in the Montjuïc area. * The exact meeting point pin will be shared via private comments or via Whatsapp once you’ve RSVP’d, a couple of days before the walk. * Please confirm your attendance by sending a WhatsApp message to:📲 +34 722 692 960 Full experience details and background: [https://www.hereaware.com/experiences](https://www.hereaware.com/experiences) [https://linktr.ee/here.aware](https://linktr.ee/here.aware) **Please read 🎶** * We begin the grounding at the start time, with a 5-minute grace period. * Please arrive a little early to settle in comfortably. * If you’ll be late, text me at least 15 minutes in advance and I’ll share a live location pin. * If you arrive during the grounding or while we’re walking, you’re welcome to join quietly. * Phones will be invited onto silent mode during the walk. **Consent and phones 🎧** The only consent I’ll ask for is for audio recording (for my mindfulness teacher training). I won’t take photos during the walk. You’re welcome to take photos after, and I gently invite minimal phone use during the experience. Thank you for helping keep the space calm, respectful, and spacious for everyone 🌿

These sessions are offered as a quiet, supportive space to rest, reset, and reconnect — held slowly, with care, clarity, and consent. *** ### **✨ What to expect** Each session lasts **30 minutes** and includes: * **10 minutes** of brief conversation and a short grounding meditation * **20 minutes** of hands-on Reiki (placing my hands on you, always with consent) * A calm, held space — no pressure to talk or “experience” anything in a certain way The session takes place **outdoors**, either **sitting or lying down on a mat**, surrounded by nature. I’ll provide: * A mat for lying down * A light cover/blanket * Headphones and gentle music You’re also welcome to: * Bring your own mat, blanket, or cushion * Listen to your own relaxing playlist on your phone *** ### **🌿 Location** 📍 **Jardins de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer** Avinguda Miramar, 30, Sants-Montjuïc, 08038 Barcelona This is a **public outdoor space**, chosen for its quiet paths and natural atmosphere. 👉 **The exact meeting point will be shared after booking and confirmation.** *** ### 🌦 Weather note If the weather isn’t suitable for an outdoor session, we’ll reschedule for another day. Your comfort and safety come first. *** ### 🗣 Language Sessions can be offered in **English or Spanish**. The experience is mostly silent, with a short guided meditation and simple instructions. *** ### 🌸 What is Reiki? Reiki, as offered here, is based on **Usui Reiki Ryōhō**, the traditional Japanese system founded by Mikao Usui. It is a gentle, hands-on practice that supports relaxation, grounding, and nervous system regulation. Rather than trying to fix or change anything, Reiki offers conditions for the body and mind to rest and rebalance naturally. Sessions are held as a **contemplative practice**, with emphasis on presence, listening, and consent. People experience Reiki in different ways. This may include: * Deep relaxation * A sense of calm or warmth * Emotional settling * Or simply the experience of resting There’s nothing you need to believe, visualise, or achieve — you can simply rest and receive. Reiki sessions offered here are **not a substitute for medical or therapeutic care**. *** ### 🌱 Who this is for This session may be a good fit if you: * Feel stressed, overwhelmed, or in need of rest * Are curious about Reiki and want to try it in a gentle, grounded way * Enjoy quiet, nature-based experiences * Prefer a calm, one-on-one setting No prior experience with Reiki or meditation is needed. *** ### 💶 Booking confirmation (IMPORTANT) This is a **free Reiki session**. 👉 **Booking is completed through my website:** [https://www.hereaware.com/reiki](https://www.hereaware.com/reiki?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Your session is confirmed once booking is completed: * via the website, or * by messaging me on Whatsapp (+34 722 692 960) If confirmation has **not been completed within 5 days of booking**, the slot may be released to someone on the waitlist. *** ### 🤍 Continuing sessions If you’d like to continue receiving Reiki sessions, the following option is available: * **30 €** — 1-hour session * **70 €** — pack of 3 × 1-hour sessions You’re always welcome to decide in your own time. 👉 **Booking is completed through my website:** [https://www.hereaware.com/reiki](https://www.hereaware.com/reiki?utm_source=chatgpt.com) *** ### 🔁 Cancellations & no-shows (Free sessions) Please provide at least **24 hours’ notice** if you need to cancel or reschedule a free session. **Same-day cancellations or no-shows** may result in the session **not being rebookable**, as these time slots are reserved specifically for you and cannot be offered to others at short notice. If you cancel with more than 24 hours’ notice, I’m happy to help reschedule, subject to availability. **Weather or facilitator cancellation:** If a session needs to be cancelled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances on my end, we’ll reschedule for another suitable time. *** ### 💬 Questions? Please message me here on Meetup if you have any questions.

**TORNEM A LA CIUTADELLA!!** **NO us equivoqueu de lloc!** **[QUÉ ES EL SOFTCOMBAT?](https://youtu.be/Essu82NpRvc)** **[Qué es el Jugger? | El Jugger, qué es y cómo jugarlo](https://youtu.be/dfyrlQn14oM)** **[Qué es el LARP?](https://youtu.be/fB3FkxDZhBA)** El Softcombat és una activitat esportiva en la qual, mitjançant armes embuatades (conegudes com boffers), es recreen combats medievals, es practiquen jocs d'equip i s'aprenen moviments marcials de combat. El Rol en Viu consisteix a afegir-li una acció més teatral i dramàtica a aquests enfrontaments. Si t'interessa aprendre a combatre, emular les lluites de les teves pel·lícules favorites, lluitar amb espasa, subjectar un escut, dominar els secrets de l'equilibri de peus o fer fitnes d'un mode diferent; el Softcombat i el Rol en Viu són una activitat que has de provar. **És durant el matí de 11h a 13.30h quan major quantitat de participants es reuneixen. A la tarda, es queda(a vegades) un petit grup, però no es pot garantir la seva presència fins a les 18h, sobretot a l'hivern.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Excited to share that AWS Cloud Club's first meeting will take place on Thursday, February 26th at 5pm - 6pm! We’re collaborating with [Big Data & Analytics Association](https://www.linkedin.com/company/big-data-analytics-association/) to host [Alok Jha](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alok-jha-42abb928/), Head of Product Management for AWS Intelligent Application Protection at Amazon Web Services, for a tech talk + Q&A on his journey in leading cutting-edge innovation in industry. If you’re interested in cloud, cybersecurity, AI, or product management, this is a session you won’t want to miss. Make sure to join our Meetup and GroupMe to stay up to date for future events and collabs!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** *Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation* Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
