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.***

**Pide y se te Dará ✨ El Poder de la Manifestación**
¿Realmente podemos crear nuestra realidad?
¿Existe una forma correcta de pedir al universo?
¿De qué depende que lo que deseamos llegue a nuestra vida?
En esta conferencia exploraremos las enseñanzas fundamentales de *Pide y se te dará* de Esther Hicks, una obra que revela cómo nuestros pensamientos, emociones y creencias influyen directamente en lo que atraemos.
Profundizaremos en el arte de pedir de forma consciente, entendiendo que no se trata solo de desear, sino de alinear nuestra vibración con aquello que queremos manifestar. Descubriremos por qué muchas veces pedimos pero no recibimos, y qué bloqueos internos están interfiriendo en ese proceso.
Veremos cómo transformar nuestra mentalidad, elevar nuestro estado emocional y conectar con una frecuencia que permita que nuestras peticiones se materialicen de manera natural.
Porque no se trata de esfuerzo, sino de alineación.
No se trata de lucha, sino de coherencia interna.
Un encuentro para comprender, aplicar y experimentar el poder de la creación consciente.
✨ Una invitación a pedir con claridad.
🔥 Una oportunidad para aprender a manifestar tu realidad.

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.

ECSTATIC RHYTHMS · Cacao & Dance - Special Guest: YUG Percussionist
# ECSTATIC RHYTHMS
## Cacao Ceremony & Freedom Dance
Please register here https://luma.com/q4zj8hbb
**About the Event**
Enter a collective ritual of presence, movement, and expression as we gather for **[Ecstatic Rhythms](https://www.notion.so/WEBSITE-sabinamedina-com-1284e61d096b80f1bd06eb75dc61198b?pvs=21&utm_source=luma)**.
In a world that often pulls us into speed and disconnection, this evening is an invitation to slow down, drop into the body, and remember the joy of moving and expressing together — freely, consciously, and without masks.
We begin by entering a shared meditative space and drinking **ceremonial Criollo cacao**, ethically sourced and cultivated in Venezuela. This heart-opening ritual is held with care and intention, creating a safe container to open the body, quiet the mind, and connect as a community in this unique moment.
From there, we move into a **balancing breathwork, voice activation, and body awakening**, preparing the nervous system and inviting us to fully let go. This phase supports alignment on a physical, emotional, and energetic level — setting the ground for deep expression.
The journey then unfolds into an **authentic ecstatic dance experience**, inspired by the ancient roots of dance before DJs existed. Through drums, shakers, our voices, and carefully curated soundscapes, we co-create a powerful movement ritual led by fire, rhythm, and presence.
Influenced by the principles of **Five Rhythms**, the dance becomes a space to express, observe, and release — moving through emotions and elements, shedding fears and masks, and exploring mind, body, and spirit in many forms. This is a space to get creative, dance like no one is watching, and awaken a playful, youthful sense of freedom.
We close by bringing everything home through a **deeply restorative gong and Tibetan bowl sound bath**, supporting integration, grounding, and nervous system regulation — completing the cycle of the evening.

# ECSTATIC RHYTHMS
## Ceremonia de Cacao & Danza Libre
Por favor registrarse aquí https://luma.com/q4zj8hbb
## Sobre el Evento
Te invitamos a entrar en un ritual colectivo de presencia, movimiento y expresión mientras nos reunimos para **Ecstatic Rhythms**.
En un mundo que a menudo nos arrastra hacia la velocidad y la desconexión, esta experiencia es una invitación a bajar el ritmo, habitar el cuerpo y recordar la alegría de movernos y expresarnos juntxs — de forma libre, consciente y sin máscaras.
Comenzamos entrando en un espacio meditativo compartido y bebiendo **cacao ceremonial Criollo**, éticamente cultivado y proveniente de Venezuela. Este ritual de apertura del corazón se sostiene con cuidado e intención, creando un contenedor seguro para abrir el cuerpo, aquietar la mente y conectar como comunidad en este momento único.
A continuación, transitamos hacia una **respiración consciente, activación de la voz y despertar corporal**, preparando el sistema nervioso e invitándonos a soltar por completo. Esta fase favorece la alineación física, emocional y energética, sentando las bases para una expresión profunda.
El viaje continúa hacia una **experiencia auténtica de danza extática**, inspirada en las raíces ancestrales de la danza, antes de que existieran los DJs. A través de tambores, shakers, nuestras voces y paisajes sonoros cuidadosamente seleccionados, co-creamos un ritual de movimiento potente, guiado por el fuego, el ritmo y la presencia.
Influenciada por los principios de **Five Rhythms**, la danza se convierte en un espacio para expresar, observar y liberar — moviéndonos a través de emociones y elementos, soltando miedos y máscaras, y explorando mente, cuerpo y espíritu en múltiples formas. Un espacio para crear, bailar como si nadie mirara y despertar una libertad lúdica y vital.
Cerramos el ciclo llevando todo de vuelta al cuerpo con un **profundo baño de sonido con gong y cuencos tibetanos**, apoyando la integración, el enraizamiento y la regulación del sistema nervioso.
***

* Cacao ceremonial Criollo (ético y proveniente de Venezuela)

* Viaje de danza libre / extática

📷 SIURANA: paisatge i història / SIURANA Landscape & Legend 💦
**(CASTELLANO a continuación** 📷 **ENGLISH below)**
**Què dir de Siurana? Doncs que és un d'aquells llocs on les paraules es queden curtes per descriure la seva màgia!** Així que tocarà viure-ho!
Començarem el dia esmorzant en **un dels miradors més espectaculars de Catalunya, amb vistes privilegiades sobre la cinglera i el pantà, que després de molts anys, torna a estar ple!!!** Tot seguit, passejarem pels carrers del poble, un dels més pintorescos del Priorat, mentre descobrim la seva història i contemplem l’**impressionant Salt de la Reina Mora, on reviurem la llegenda que dóna ànima a aquest indret**.

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.
## **Come Join Us!**
We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection.

Backrooms_(Showing 2)_Group Watch and Socialize Event
[MOVIE DESCRIPTION BELOW]
*A strange doorway appears in the basement of a furniture showroom.*
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
**PLEASE SEE GROUP BIO FOR FULL FAQ. Meetup only allows a certain amount of characters when posting events from a mobile device and out FAQ is longer than that limit. A condensed version is posted below here**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
First-time attendees: below are some Frequently Asked Questions about events for your consideration:
* **What is involved in this type of event? (_Group Watch & Socialize Event)**
* We typically arrive before the movie, maybe chat and catch up with folks a bit, watch the movie in the theater, then afterwards have a more extended chat with everyone who saw the movie.
* **Do I have to chat before the movie?**
* Nope! Totally understandable if you'd rather just watch first so you can have something in common to discuss afterwards.
* **Will people approach me/talk to me?**
* Not a guarantee as it depends on who is hosting, but a good host or other group members will try to at least say hi to members after the movie and may make an effort to include newer faces in the conversation in some way. Please feel free to jump into the conversation as you feel comfortable and understand this is done with good intent :) We are happy to have you!
* **How will I know who is the host or where people are gathering to talk about the movie?**
* This depends on each host, but good practice is for the host to indicate a notable item of clothing they are wearing for other members to look out for. But generally we gather in a loose circle in the theater lobby or outside the theater to talk, so if you recognize the host or other group members - that's the spot we've decided on! Just kind of depends on the feel of the group where we gather.
* **What is with posting the seat numbers?**
* A good practice we've found is to post our seat numbers when we have ordered tickets for a movie. This is just another way for members of our group to find each other as it might not be immediately obvious who is here as part of the group event: some events are at public movie theaters, after all. You are not by any means obligated to post your seat number if you do not feel comfortable doing so, just something we've found that works nicely for encouraging some socialization.
* **Will there be food?**
* General guideline: if the movie starts at 7ish pm or later, you might wanna have dinner first or plan on buying movie snacks. Restaurant kitchens tend to close around 9-10pm. We sometimes do go to restaurants after movies as a group, but moreso bars whose kitchens may or may not be open. Plus, kind of bad manners for a group to descend upon a bar when the kitchen is closing is 10 minutes lol. Bars are just convenient social places, there is zero pressure to drink but there just aren't many places open late when we may leave movies. There is potential to order or provide food for group events, but it should not be expected unless stated in the event description.
* **How do I stay in contact with the group after the movie?**
* We have another app we use for discussion because Meetup is somewhat cumbersome to use for casual conversation. The app we use is called Discord. The link is posted below:
* Link: https://discord.gg/4r7QxzmSvH
* [Place link here]
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
* **Can I create events as a member?**
* Initially, no but this group is open to members suggesting events or becoming part of the Event Organizers over time. We don't want to open the opportunity for everybody initially to create events because that kind of role has some responsibility towards it. There are certain permissions granted to that role that not every member should have. However, if a member has a proven track record of treating every group member with due respect, and a willingness to plan events: they can become and Event Organizer and create their own events. Please reach out to leadership if this sounds like something that would interest you.
* **Can I donate to the group?**
* Absolutely! See group bio
