Kuestiona Experience es el evento anual de la comunidad educativa *Kuestiona*, fundada por Borja Vilaseca. El evento nace de una necesidad profunda: Crear un espacio donde las personas puedan mirarse de verdad, **reconocerse**, **conectar** con otros desde la autenticidad y recordar que el crecimiento interior no tiene por qué ser un camino en soledad. Kuestiona Experience se sostiene sobre los mismos principios que inspiran el trabajo de Kuestiona como comunidad de aprendizaje consciente: 1. Cuestionar y transformar las estructuras que limitan la libertad interior y colectiva. 2. Empoderar a las personas para que lideren su vida desde la consciencia y la responsabilidad. 3. Acompañar el descubrimiento del propósito esencial que da sentido a cada existencia. 4. Democratizar el acceso al autoconocimiento y a la sabiduría práctica. 5. Fomentar el despertar de la consciencia desde una espiritualidad laica. 6. Ser un puente hacia un nuevo paradigma humano basado en la libertad, la responsabilidad y el ser. Esta 4a edición del festival se celebra el sábado 23 de mayo en Parets del Vallès.🗓️ Puedes ver toda la info en: [https://www.kuestionaexperience.com/](https://www.kuestionaexperience.com/) Para sacar tu entrada, tienes solo unos días para aplicar el código de descuento del 25% *BioculturaKE26* Las entradas solo se sacan por la web. 🎫 Si necesitas más información solo tienes que escribirme 💌.

\#\#\# ¿Qué son las constelaciones familiares? Una constelación familiar es un método que nos permite dilucidar esos eventos que han podido causar un impacto profundo, a partir del cual, la armonía familiar se ha visto perturbada, estas dificultades pueden ser tanto de convivencia, de salud, de profesión, de pareja, etc. y sobre las cuales no se tiene control. A través de la puesta en escena que nos permite la constelación podemos tomar conciencia del origen del conflicto. Recreando la organización de la familia, o de cualquier otro sistema, las relaciones dentro del mismo se hacen visibles y con ellas las causas que han generado el conflicto pueden aclararse. Los participantes observaron como las dinámicas no resultaron les han estado apareciendo, a veces, desde la infancia. Esa visualización y las propuestas de reparación por el terapeuta, rescatan al “paciente” de la culpa y le permiten recrear una nueva y liberada imagen de solución. \#\#\# ¿Cómo puedo hacer mi constelación familiar? Hay dos formas de participar en este taller: 1. Como participar (que muestra los patrones inconscientes para el “paciente”) 2. Como “paciente” que recibe la Constela 3. Participar 20€ 4. Constelar 100€

Think: * **Yarn & Thread:** Knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross-stitch, hand-sewing, mending. * **Paper & Sketching:** Sketchbooks, adult coloring books, watercolors, bullet journaling. * **Digital:** Tablets, iPad drawing, laptop writing/design. * *Please note: Because we are meeting in a shared public space, no power tools, sewing machines, or high-odor materials (like strong solvents or spray glues), please!* **📍 Where to Find Us** * We will be meeting at **Columbus Metropolitan Library - Karl Road Branch** in **Meeting Room 1**. Room is reserved under **CBUS Maker Meetup.** **⏱️ Timeline** * **1:00 PM:** Arrive, grab a seat, get settled, and do a quick round of introductions so we can see what everyone is working on. * **1:15 PM - 3:00 PM:** Open maker time! Chat, craft, relax, and swap creative ideas. **⚠️ A Note on RSVPs** Space for this first meetup is strictly limited to 10 spots.
