Social Movements

IMPORTANT: Venue change this month! We will be in **Permaculture Barcelona Hub** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nAKSCx1YvDtjYKGp8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nAKSCx1YvDtjYKGp8) Carrer de Zamora, 91-95, 4 - 3, Sant Martí, 08018 Barcelona The workshop itself is free, but consumption at the venue is compulsory. You can purchase a ticket for: snack table 4€/ refillable 0% drink bar\* €3/ or both for €6. \*You can bring your own cup or borrow one of ours and return at the end. Tapa Talks is put together by a team of volunteers at association ESA Logika. We put a lot of effort into designing these events to provide access to free education and idea-sharing space. We appreciate your support by consuming something at the venue, as this enables us to keep hosting these events for Barcelona's community. This event also includes a 🌱**Swap Shop**🌱: To encourage circular economy - **Bring your pre-loved items** like a book, a mug, or a painting with you and give your items an opportunity **to find a new home.** They will be laid out on a table during the mid-event break for everyone to see and pick! (No clothing please, but accessories are more than welcome) What a great way to reduce waste! This month, we will unpack the terms '**Cleantech', 'Greentech'** and '**Climate tech**', discuss what they represent, how much money goes into developing such technologies, why governments and businesses want to show you that they have a stamp of approval, and why the climate change challenge remains unresolved, despite all the tech out there. We'll also discuss what type of cleantech solutions you should be aware of in Spain, particularly in Barcelona, so you can be well-informed when engaging our political actors. Our speaker, **Alexander Crutchfield** is a researcher and journalist focused on climate, energy, and sustainability. His work spans investigative reporting, policy research, and strategic analysis for public and private outlets such as The Energy Pioneer, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, the Spanish Royal Institute of European Studies, etc. *The talk will begin at 19:00 sharp, please aim to arrive at 18:45 to have time to check-in at the entrance and grab your consumption ticket* 😊 **Permaculture Barcelona Hub** will host a wonderful Sant Joan Afterparty, which starts at 21:30. Stay to enjoy a delicious "Syrizuela" fusion cuisine dinner from the Hub catering crew: Abbas and Made, whose solidarity-based culinary project represents the culture of Syria and Venezuela. Ecological drinks such as Km0 organic beer will be served. You will also get a great view of the fireworks and enjoy an alternative way to celebrate Sant Joan…you won’t be on the beach but great music and vibes will be provided!

The Goblin Union is proud to announce **TUESDAY TALES**, our first play event! Come join us for a fun night of roleplaying games, in which you will get to play in one of three one-shots (games that tell a full story in one go). We will have different game systems with varying tones and difficulty levels, and we'll figure out who feels like playing what once we're there and try to accommodate everyone to the best of our ability. Do come with an open mind, though! The sessions will last **four hours** each, and they will all use safety tools to make sure everyone has a good time. Please note we will play in **English**. WHY ARE THERE ONLY FIVE SPOTS? A bunch of our existing community members have already signed up through our Discord, so we can only accommodate so many prospective goblins at this event with the amount of GMs we have. We hope to have more openings in future ones! DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING? We will have everything you need to play, but you can bring your dice if you want and something to write with. IS THE EVENT REALLY FREE? Yes! We do not charge a fee to play. It's important to note that we will be playing at a restaurant that has graciously let us use the space, so please eat and drink there during the event if you can. WHO ARE YOU? The Goblin Union is a new Barcelona-based community by and for progressive, socially conscious people who want to safely enjoy tabletop RPGs without having to bump shoulders with the stereotypical problematic jerks that plague our hobby. We do not tolerate sexist, racist, queerphobic, ableist nor imperialistic views. Edgelords are not welcome. Our main community hub is our Discord server, but we don't release public invites, to avoid bad actors coming into our space. If you feel like you'd be a good fit for our community, we would love to meet you in person at the event and give you an invite! **The art on the event banner is by the awesome [Emiel Boven](https://www.cultofthelizardking.com/)!**

Sant Joan es la excusa perfecta para disfrutar de un batiburrillo de fuego, montaña y lagos glaciares. Así que os invito a dos días de aventura y contrastes, celebrando el solsticio de verano, el día más largo del año y un festivo con muchísima tradición y locura en las tierras catalanas. **🍀Día uno** (martes, 23/06), la jornada de calentamiento, iremos a trepar por varios pasos equipados en el espectacular desfiladero de Collegats, puerta salvaje entre el Pallars Jussà y el Pallars Sobirà. A la noche asistiremos a la bajada de las famosas Fallas de Isil, con su intensa atmósfera festiva alrededor de la hoguera del pueblo. Como una serpiente de fuego, los ‘fallaires’ bajan por la montaña con los troncos ardiendo a cuestas o haciéndo­los rodar en zigzag ladera abajo. **🍀 El segundo día** (miercoles 24/06) nos espera una deliciosa ruta por Aigüestortes que comienza en Port de la Bonaigua, aliñada con salsa de lagos glaciares, granito agarrable y bellos bosques de pino negro. Ascenderemos la impresionante cima del Pic d’Amitges (2849 m) y su vecino Tuc de Saboredo (2829 m) donde se nos desplegarán imponentes paredes verticales y crestas agudas, contando infinitas puntas altas que dibujan los horizontes del único parque nacional de Catalunya . Por pequeñas que parezcan desde abajo, estas cumbres alpinas son un enorme mundo a explorar, una experiencia única e intransferible. 🏰 Nuestro palacio será un encantador refugio de montaña rodeado del abetal mas espectacular de toda Europa.

No importa tu nivel actual de flexibilidad o fuerza; adaptamos las progresiones para que la práctica sea segura, inclusiva y desafiante para todos. Ven a aprender, a jugar en comunidad y a habitar tu cuerpo de una manera completamente nueva. **PRECIOS:** 1 clase suelta: 18€ 4-clases: 65€ 8-clases: 115€ 16-clases: 195€

\*Note: if this is your first member's event with us, confirmation is **required** by clicking [HERE](https://forms.gle/9AKw678SNqQpQpbJ8) (Google form to get your name) Our June members' meet is going to be a **Walking Conversation: Lessons from Nature** 🌿 Together, we will explore what nature can teach us about resilience, cooperation, community, and thriving. Participants will be paired up and invited to take a walk through the gardens while reflecting on a set of questions inspired by the natural world. Afterwards, we'll gather as a group to share insights, reflections, and snacks together. Nature has spent billions of years learning how to adapt, regenerate, and collaborate. What might healthy ecosystems teach us about ourselves, our communities, and the future we want to create? 🍓 **Please bring a small snack to share with the group.** **Do you know who we are and what we do?** If not, keep reading below 👀 Join the Environmental Social Association of Barcelona, ESAlogika, for our monthly meet with community members to share news and updates, chat about sustainability and life in Barcelona, and dive deeper into different topics through fun and engaging activities in a small group environment 🌍 First time? **Try it for free!** If you're not yet a member, but interested in this event, you can attend for free as a trial. **IMPORTANT: Attendance confirmation is required via the [Google form](https://forms.gle/9AKw678SNqQpQpbJ8).** Membership: €28/year All funds are used to run the association, which is a non-profit organisation. \*If you've never been to Tapa Talks, you can view our past events to see what it's all about!

Únete a nuestro Grupo de Whatsapp [https://chat.whatsapp.com/DpaOmS5kLgQJu0TabAPBpd](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DpaOmS5kLgQJu0TabAPBpd) Estamos en Instagram [www.instagram.com/redconsciencia_comunidad](http://www.instagram.com/redconsciencia_comunidad) **El Combate Espiritual ⚔✨** **Liberación y Transformación de tu Alma** Vivimos en una época donde la libertad interior del ser humano se ve constantemente amenazada. La manipulación, el ruido permanente, la desinformación, el relativismo moral y la pérdida de valores fundamentales dificultan que muchas personas puedan discernir con claridad qué es verdadero, bueno y digno de ser vivido. A lo largo de la historia, las grandes tradiciones espirituales han descrito una batalla que tiene lugar tanto en el interior de cada ser humano como en el propio mundo en que vivimos. Una lucha permanente entre fuerzas que elevan nuestra conciencia y aquellas que nos alejan de nuestra mejor versión. El combate espiritual no se libra únicamente contra las dificultades externas, sino también contra nuestros propios miedos, egoísmos, apegos, condicionamientos y sombras. Es una llamada a despertar, a recuperar nuestra capacidad de elegir y a asumir la responsabilidad de nuestra propia vida. En esta conferencia exploraremos el significado profundo del Combate Espiritual: un camino de autoconocimiento, crecimiento y transformación que nos invita a fortalecer el alma, desarrollar el discernimiento y avanzar hacia una libertad más auténtica, consciente y plena. Reflexionaremos sobre cuestiones fundamentales: * El misterio del libre albedrío y nuestra capacidad de elegir. * La naturaleza del bien y del mal en la experiencia humana. * El camino iniciático que han recorrido buscadores y sabios de todas las épocas. * La transformación personal como proceso de purificación y crecimiento interior. * El significado de la verdadera libertad, más allá de las circunstancias externas. * El camino del Amor como fuerza capaz de sanar, unir y elevar al ser humano. Una invitación a mirar hacia dentro, descubrir las fuerzas que actúan en nuestra vida y comprender que cada desafío puede convertirse en una oportunidad para evolucionar. La batalla decisiva de nuestra vida no es entre nosotros y el mundo, sino entre aquello que nos acerca a la verdad, al bien y al amor, y aquello que nos aleja de ellos. ✨ Conferencia participativa con espacio para la reflexión, el diálogo y el intercambio de experiencias. **Aportación**: 5€ (costes de sala y organización) **Formato**: Conferencia y preguntas

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

[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).
