**What if the most useful tools for navigating our future world aren't from business schools or consultancies, but drawn from quantum physics, metaphysics and extra-dimensional sources?** **[Tickets must be purchased in advance via LUMA - from 9 Euros.](https://luma.com/dplywd1n?utm-source-meetup)** There’s no doubt that we are living through a period of profound disruption to humanity. From rapidly changing geopolitics to AI, we can often find ourselves confused or concerned with the implications and our own survival. With so much uncertainty and change, how do we stay grounded to make decisions that move us toward better outcomes? In this Growth Lab LIVE session, designer, futurist and author, Phil Balagtas explores how engaging with these questions can expand our thinking and unlock an alternate ambitious and optimistic approach for how to think about the future. Advancing research on consciousness, quantum physics and non-human intelligence have quietly influenced how scientists, researchers, technologists and futurists are thinking about and understanding the world around us. They’re shaping the newest technologies on the horizon and awakening us to possibilities that are beyond anything we can imagine. In this session, we’ll draw on these theories to provide new inspiration for ways to navigate uncertainty and the rapidly changing reality we are witnessing. Ultimately, we’ll offer a new perspective that can help us imagine and work toward more preferable futures for our businesses, communities and ourselves. We'll explore: •⁠ ⁠What are some basic foundations about quantum physics and how its being used today to advance computing •⁠ ⁠How consciousness and our perceptions of reality can be shifted based on quantum principles •⁠ ⁠The strange and beautiful phenomena that is being documented and disclosed that could potentially shape a future where humans are not the most intelligent species on the planet **About the speaker:** Phil is a designer, strategist and futurist based in Barcelona. He has over 25 years of experience designing digital products, services and strategies for a variety of devices and platforms. Within the last decade he has served as a Design Director for General Electric’s Digital Aviation group and for McKinsey & Company. Today he is a professor at Elisava University and leads his own consultancy called HABITAT training organizations on Futures Thinking. He has just published a book on O’Reilly called, Making Futures Work: Integrating Futures Thinking for Design, Innovation and Strategy.

In this interactive workshop, we come together to explore what it means to create work that is meaningful, alive, and in service to a more regenerative world. Through dialogue, reflection, and shared inquiry, we’ll explore questions such as: \* What challenges do we face when creating work that truly matters to us? \* How might meaningful work unlock human potential and contribute to a regenerative economy? \* What is the “more beautiful world” we each feel called toward? \* How do our personal stories and lived experiences shape the contribution we’re here to make? \* What holds us back from stepping into that contribution? \* How can we navigate uncertainty with greater courage, trust, and clarity? This is a space to listen deeply, to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater that wants to emerge through us.

En este taller de dos sesiones nos acercaremos a la obra de Roberto Bolaño para reflexionar sobre la relación entre literatura, dictadura y violencia política en Chile. Leeremos sus textos como espacios donde la escritura interroga las zonas más oscuras de la historia reciente: la relación entre arte y poder, la responsabilidad de los intelectuales, el silencio, la culpa y las formas de la complicidad. A partir de su narrativa, exploraremos cómo la literatura puede enfrentarse al horror, reconstruir fragmentos de memoria y cuestionar los discursos que intentan ocultar o normalizar la violencia, abriendo así una reflexión crítica sobre el papel de la escritura frente a la barbarie.🔥 Juan Escalona es Doctor en Historia Contemporánea por la Universidad de Barcelona.

**Two talks. Two frameworks.

Calling all Barcelona-based writers! It's about time we come together again, meet others of our kind, and discuss our business-y matters: what we write, how we write it, and how we get about our creative lives. All of it while sipping on great wine! This informal "industry" meetup is for anyone who self-identifies as a writer – or is *almost ready* to do so :) This time around, it's not exactly a gathering for the journaling fans...but if you're into both journal- and book-writing, this event is for you! If you write books (of any kind), poetry, screenplays, film scripts – or something else entirely – you're more than welcome to join us! Feel free to bring a writing friend or two – the more the merrier. And your book(s), of course! Let's **celebrate** each other's works! **We are meeting at a friendly wine shop, Cuvée 3000 Bottleshop 🍷** **The organizational fee for this meetup is €5, which includes a glass of great wine (or a non-alcoholic refreshment). It's time to get festive!** *In collaboration with [International Writers Of Barcelona.](https://www.meetup.com/international-writers-of-barcelona-iwb/?eventOrigin=your_groups) The main language of this meetup is English.* **🧑🏼‍💻 About the organizer**: Hi! I'm Marusha Mozolevskaya, a non-fiction writer, journalist and journaling guide based in Barcelona. I'm also a founder of the [Girls Who Write](https://girlswhowrite.club/) & [Barcelona Journaling Festival](http://www.barcelonajournalingfestival.com/). Happy to meet other writers and have a good chat about our creative process!

A slow, easy afternoon to create, connect, and just be. I'm launching my independently-published, ***Field Journal: Mindfulness in Nature - Europe***, a guided pocket journal for slow walkers, quiet watchers, and anyone who finds peace in the natural world, and I'd love to celebrate it with you! **How the afternoon flows:** 1: Arrive, settle in & mingle Help yourself to a few sweet and savory snacks, bring your own drink (and snacks), and get to know the people around you. No rush. 2: The journal: its story & how to use it We'll explore the journal together — where it came from, what inspired it, and how to make it your own out in nature. 3: Colour, write & doodle Choose a bird or nature colouring page and settle in. I'll share some gentle journaling prompts to write alongside your art — and doodle to your heart's content too. 4: Free time — yours to enjoy Keep creating, chat with others, browse the journals, or simply sit and be. The rest of the afternoon is yours. Colouring pages, pencils, and other materials are provided (except for the journal - this needs to be purchased separately, 14,99€ - I accept contactless card, Bizum or Cash). A few sweet and savory snacks will be on the table — just bring your own drink of choice or snacks too if you need gluten-free snacks. Please bring your own mat too if you'd want to sit down or lie down. **Journals are already available to purchase online** and also on the day, with a little something **extra** for everyone who takes one home. 🐦 **Can't wait for the launch?** Get your copy here and you can pick it up during the launch: https://www.hereaware.com/journal It all starts with being here, aware.

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. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Feeling down? Sometimes depressed? Can't focus? Negativity & stress? Recent losses? Creativity in career and personal life hindered by mental blocks? Sometimes we never fully recover from traumatic experiences. Whether it was yesterday, last week or a year ago, traumatic experiences - a loss of a loved one, losing a job, a breakup - can leave you scarred. You talk about it and feel a little better, but it never goes away. After you hang up the phone, it's still there; the sadness, the cloud, the over-thinking, the worry, the guilt. You try to focus, but you're blocked. You try to look forward into new experiences, new relationships but a cloud is hanging over you, casting a shadow on what you once considered a bright, cheerful future. What happened to your courage? Your strength of character? You're 'why not' attitude? Whoever said 'time heals' must have had a special time machine, because after weeks, months, years, you're wondering - when exactly does that kick in? Sometimes it seems like drinking or drugs are the way to go. But they wear off, and now the problem is still there with added side effects from the drugs. At this free local Meetup event we will talk about: * What causes grief, anxiety and depression to become chronic. * Is it possible to regain your joy and happiness even after traumatic experiences? * How to break away from negativity and focus on the future * What are the steps to take to get control of your mind and your emotions? Learn about a safe, gentle, do-it-yourself counseling that can be done in the comfort of your own home. Let's explore safe, effective solutions for healing from traumatic experiences. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center.

Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to: * develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment * share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other * learn from each other, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas ***NOTE:*** Pre-registration is required for this event. **Please arrive 10 minutes early** to check in at the security desk.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
