Taller de Constelaciones Familiares
\#\#\# ¿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€

Outdoor docu Screening
***SCREENING OUTDOOR WITH A FRESH LIMONADA!* 🍋**
**ESP**
*Creemos firmemente que para ser eficientes y saludables en el manejo de la actual crisis ambiental y social, necesitamos equiparnos con herramientas y conocimientos que nos ayuden a empoderarnos y cultivar nuestra "esperanza activa". La serie Culture Jam de*
***[Apocapoc BCN](https://www.apocapocbcn.com/)*** *tiene como objetivo hacer precisamente eso.*
Únete a nosotros en una inspiradora noche de cine y solidaridad global, con la proyección de dos poderosos documentales dirigidos por la activista y cineasta ***[Iara Lee](https://www.instagram.com/iaralee.explores.brazil)***, fundadora de ***[Cultures of Resistance Network](https://culturesofresistance.org/)***.
Nuestra primera proyección, ***The Sami Song of Survival* (Salmo Sami de Sobrevivência)**, explora cómo el pueblo indígena Sámi del norte de Europa utiliza la organización creativa, el arte y la resiliencia cultural para resistir a siglos de racismo institucionalizado, marginación y colonialismo en la frontera ártica.
A continuación, viajaremos a África Occidental con ***Unite for Bissau* (Unidas por Bissau / Nô Kumpu Guiné)**. Esta película, que invita a la reflexión, sigue a valientes mujeres locales que continúan el legado liberador de Amílcar Cabral. Al construir instituciones arraigadas en la agroecología, desafían al patriarcado, reclaman la soberanía alimentaria y rechazan sin miedo normas sociales opresivas como la mutilación genital femenina y el matrimonio forzado.
A través de su trabajo en ***Caipirinha Productions*** y su extensa trayectoria como activista viajando por el Sur Global, Iara Lee utiliza el cine para explorar cómo la acción creativa contribuye a la resolución de conflictos y a los derechos humanos en todo el mundo. No te pierdas esta oportunidad de ser testigo de estas vitales historias de resistencia, conectar con miembros de la comunidad que comparten tus mismos ideales e intercambiar ideas durante nuestra sesión de debate posterior a las proyecciones.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**ENG**
*We strongly believe that to be efficient and healthy at dealing with the current environmental and social crisis, we need to equip ourselves with tools and knowledge that help us to be empowered and to cultivate our "active hope". The Culture Jam series aims to do just that.*
Join us for an inspiring evening of cinema and global solidarity featuring two powerful documentaries directed by activist and filmmaker ***[Iara Lee](https://www.instagram.com/iaralee.explores.brazil)***, founder of the ***[Cultures of Resistance Network](https://culturesofresistance.org/)***.
Our first screening, ***The Sami Song of Survival* (Salmo Sami de Sobrevivência)**, explores the indigenous Sámi people of Northern Europe as they use creative organizing, art, and cultural resilience to resist centuries of institutionalized racism, marginalization, and colonialism on the Arctic frontier.
Following this, we will travel to West Africa with ***Unite for Bissau* (Unidas por Bissau / Nô Kumpu Guiné)**. This thought-provoking film follows brave local women carrying forward the liberating legacy of Amílcar Cabral. By building institutions rooted in agroecology, they challenge patriarchy, claim food sovereignty, and fearlessly reject oppressive social norms like female genital mutilation and forced marriage.
Through her work at ***Caipirinha Productions*** and her extensive history as an activist traveling across the Global South, Iara Lee uses cinema to explore how creative action contributes to conflict resolution and human rights worldwide. Do not miss this opportunity to witness these vital stories of resistance, connect with like-minded community members, and share your thoughts during our post-screening feedback session.

Yes.We.Vote. Barcelona Scavenger Hunt! 🔍
**🌇 Barcelona,** a city with a long history of fighting fascism reminds us of how fragile democracy can be. YES WE VOTE brings that history to life with a team scavenger hunt through Barcelona's resistance past. **Teams of five 🖐️** will move through the city solving clues, completing challenges, and uncovering the stories of the people who refused to comply — and won. It's fun. It's Barcelona. And it ends with one reminder that the resistance figured out a long time ago: showing up works. Protest works. Voting works. Collective action works. Come ready to move, think, and leave with your ballot requested. Friends and family are welcome to join!
***Sponsored by the Global and Spain Women's Caucus.***
🕙**Registration** starts at 10 am at the **[Jardins del Pou de la Figuera](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Jardines+del+Pozo+de+la+Higuera/@41.3875659,2.1769715,524m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x12a4a2fc783183b3:0xd5287541e83e2652!2sJardines+del+Pozo+de+la+Higuera!8m2!3d41.3875619!4d2.1795464!16s%2Fg%2F11g8xf4mgb!3m5!1s0x12a4a2fc783183b3:0xd5287541e83e2652!8m2!3d41.3875619!4d2.1795464!16s%2Fg%2F11g8xf4mgb?authuser=0&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D),** Carrer Pou de la Figuereta, 5, Ciutat Vella.

Run/Walk Social
A relaxed, beginner-friendly run/walk social focused on movement, community and feeling better.
This is not a serious running club for elite athletes, nor is it a hardcore bootcamp. The idea is simple: get outside, move your body, meet good people and build healthier habits in a supportive environment.
We’ll cover around 4k together using a structured run/walk format guided by qualified personal trainer Mike Maddox, with regular walk breaks so nobody feels left behind or under pressure.
This group is designed for adults who are comfortable walking for around an hour and want to improve their fitness in a relaxed, social way.
**Perfect for:**
• People getting back into fitness
• Busy professionals and parents
• Expats looking to meet people
• Anyone wanting a healthier routine without intimidation
• People who don’t feel comfortable in traditional fitness spaces
English-speaking, but everyone is welcome 🇬🇧🇪🇸
No pressure. No judgement. Just movement, fresh air and good people.
**Session location:** Poble Nou
**Meeting point:** End of Rambla Poble Nou, as you enter the park on your way to the beach
**Rules / Schedule:**
We stay together as a group. We begin with a warm-up walk before moving into light jogging intervals with regular walking breaks, depending on the level of the group. There is no set pace and no competition. We move, walk, jog and chat together.
After the session, we’ll cool down, stretch, and maybe grab a coffee nearby for anyone who wants to stay and socialise.
A short health questionnaire must be completed before attending.

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.
* An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection.
* An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms.
* Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus.
## **Our Impact**

Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported:
* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!”
