This way\, if it rains\, we can comfortably move to a café together\. \- If the weather is fantastic\, you’re very welcome to join us even if the participant limit has already been reached \(as long as you arrive on time because once the event starts I won't look at my phone to be fully present at the event\)\. However\, if it rains\, I will take the registered participants to a café nearby \(in case it rains before the event starts and you are a registered participants write to me on whatsapp so that I can send you the exact location\)\. Those who came but didn’t sign up are still very welcome to organize themselves\, choose another café\, and enjoy their own book discussions together\. \- If you realize you can’t make it\, I kindly ask you to cancel your participation at least 1 hour before the event\. This really helps me offer the spot to someone else and avoids me traveling for nothing\, as I don’t live nearby\. Thank you so much for your understanding \- In case we go to a café\, I ask everyone to please order at least one drink\. I don’t have any agreements with cafés—we simply want to be respectful guests\, avoid any issues\, and keep the option open to return to places we enjoy in the future\. **Make sure to also follow us on Instagram for Past events photos:** [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/thebookclubbcn/) @thebookclubbcn *\*By attending to our Events you automatically consent to have your pictures taken and shared for promotional purposes.* *\*The Book Club is a safe & positive space for everyone to share and grow together, we do not allow the consumption of alcohol or smoking during the event.*

Vivimos rodeados de estímulos que compiten por segundos de atención. Luces, pantallas, titulares, promesas brillantes. Pero mientras algo capta tu mirada… algo más ocurre fuera de cuadro. *Desatención* no es solo una muestra visual: es un recorrido donde lo evidente distrae y lo sutil susurra. Donde cada imagen parece decir una cosa… mientras insinúa otra. Aquí nada es casual.

¿Cuál es la relación entre los filósofos y la ciudad de Barcelona? ¿Cómo pasaron por ella? ¿Qué reflexiones han surgido de su encuentro y cuáles siguen ocultas en los callejones de la ciudad? Como hacían los filósofos peripatéticos, la reflexión se desarrollará también en movimiento. En cada etapa, un filósofo y una idea permitirán que se desplieguen las ideas sobre la idea de ciudad. De hecho, el hilo conductor del recorrido es la propia idea de «ciudad». Será un pensar caminando, un cuestionar conociendo. El "Tour" es una experiencia colectiva de diálogo filosófico apta para tod@s, tanto para l@s que conocen bien la filosofía como para l@s que no la conocen en absoluto. Para todas las edades y perspectivas. El recorrido dura alrededor de 1 hora y 45 minutos.

This workshop is an invitation to slow down, listen, and express yourself through art. We will begin with a short Buddhist-inspired meditation 🧘‍♀️, followed by an introduction to mandalas ⭕️ — what they are, their symbolic meaning, and how drawing a mandala can support self-awareness and emotional exploration. Through gentle body-based activities 🤍, we will move, release tension, and awaken creativity. Then, you will have time to draw your own mandala freely and intuitively 🎨✨ — using colors and shapes to express emotions, sensations, and inner landscapes. 🎯 No drawing skills needed 🤍 This is not about technique, but about presence, listening, and self-expression 🧑‍🏫 The workshop will be facilitated by Laura, a Buddhist practitioner with a background in neuroscience and psychosomatics, who integrates meditation, body awareness, and creative practices into her work. 🌍 The event will be held in English ✨ Welcome as YOU are 💶 Cost: 15€ 👉 Payment on site, preferably cash Can’t wait to meet you 🥰 @nolabelswanted

**Expert Roundtable · International Women’s Day · Barcelona** **Reclaiming Female Sexuality: East, West & Innovation** \- Find the booking link in the comments\. If you’ve ever wondered why your desire changed, why intimacy feels different, or whether something is “wrong” with you - we warmly invite you into this conversation. From low libido and painful sex to postpartum shifts and menopause changes, we’ll unpack what’s happening physiologically, emotionally, and culturally. For too long, female sexuality has been treated as dysfunction, disconnected from the nervous system and hormones, or measured by technology without context or care. This roundtable brings together: • **Western Medicine** — hormones, desire, libido, discomfort across life stages • **Eastern Wisdom** — sexual energy, embodiment, pelvic vitality • **FemTech & AI** — innovation, ethics, and the future of women’s health Followed by an open 20-30 minutes Q&A. Speakers: **[Stefanie Kauffmann](https://www.womens.es/equipo/stephanie-kauffman/)** – Pelvic Health Specialist **[Carina Greweling](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gutcoachcarina/)** – Integrative Sexuality **[Willow Star](https://www.instagram.com/withwillowstar/)** – Sex Therapist **[Juliane Romano](https://www.julianaromanocoaching.com/)** – Moderator * **Sunday March 8th, 10:45AM - 1:00PM** * **Get your tickets at**: find the link in the comments or send DM * **Location:** A private members’ club next to metro Diagonal The venue offers a breakfast and brunch menu, giving you the opportunity to arrive, order something delicious, and ease into the conversation.

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.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
