**Please read the full description for details on booking.**
On this guided tour with a difference, discover how to live life lucidly in the present moment, open to your senses, listen to yourself and start to be your own guide!
Using a walk through the streets of Barcelona as practice, I will guide you in a mindfulness meditation which will help you get out of your head, bringing attention to your senses and the felt sensations in the body, stepping into deeper awareness of yourself, making your experience of the city even more magical and vibrant.
We will begin our time together in the hidden oasis of carrer d’Allada Vermell, in the barrio of El Born, with an initial guided meditation. From this point of connection to yourself, anchored in the present, will we continue the practice walking through El Born with its winding streets and surprises around every corner.
On our magical tour of sensorial delights, lasting approximately 2 hours, we will take in such places as the Palau de la Musica, Casa Perris, Funky Baker, Santa Maria del Mar and Santa Caterina Market, ending up at a nearby square for a chat about your experience.
Take the opportunity on your trip to tune into yourself and see how things start to unfold magically!

Scent & Self. A Sensory Exploration
This is an experiential session held in a yoga studio.
We will work with different scents.
The format is quiet immersion and personal observation.
During each interaction, you will explore memories, associations how your body and breathing respond
After each scent, there will be a moment to note your experience and, if you wish, share it with a group.
It is a direct sensory experience.
Olfaction is closely connected to memory and emotional regulation, which allows subtle and personal insights to emerge.
**Duration**: 1 hour
_Important: please participate only if you do not have allergies or sensitivity to scents._

Hi,
Who’s in for a Sunrise run or walk in Barceloneta?
**#What do we do?**
After a short warm-up, some of us go running and the others go for a walk. We all meet again at the end to chat while some of us enjoy a refreshing splash in the sea (optional - bring a swimsuit and towel if you’re in). For those who are not in a hurry, we then go to have a coffee / breakfast close by.
**#What level of running/walking is required?**
None, it does not matter if what you like is walking, if you are a beginner runner or if you are a champion, you are welcome, and you won’t get lost. In general, we are between 10 and 25 people. We meet at the beginning and at the end of the activity, but we divide ourselves into 3 or 4 smaller groups according to our pace and the distances we want to run/walk. Those who walk, the “tranquilo” runners (6 - 7.30 min per km), those who go at a medium pace (5 - 6min per km), and those who want to run faster (4 - 5 min per km).
**#Price?** The activity is free. If you want you can buy a running t-shirt of the group for 12 euros. Just let us know when you sign in.

Design with Purpose: An Interior Design Workshop [She Sapiens x Circles]
Hi ladies ✨
After many inspiring SheSapiens founder breakfasts — mornings filled with honest conversations, shared experiences, new ideas, and the energy that happens when ambitious women gather around the same table — we thought it was time to create a new kind of moment together.
This time, we’re inviting you to something a little different.
Join us at Circle House for an evening workshop designed to explore how the spaces around us influence the way we think, work, and create.
Design with Purpose – Interior Design Workshop
Led by Natalia Juncosa, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Circle House.
In this hands-on workshop, Natalia will guide us through how to intentionally style and redesign spaces — from layout and color choices to furniture and finishing touches — so that the environments we spend time in truly support the way we live and work.
Natalia brings a unique perspective, combining her background in high-growth startups, UI/UX and global marketing with her passion for interior design and thoughtfully designed live-work spaces where entrepreneurs and creators can thrive.
Just like our breakfast gatherings, this will be a relaxed and inspiring setting to learn something new, exchange ideas, and spend time with other women building meaningful things.
After the workshop, we’ll also have time to enjoy the beautiful terrace views over Barcelona, continue conversations, and connect with other founders and creatives joining for the evening.
🗓 **Event Details**
**16:30 – 17:30:** **Networking & Terrace Social** – Fresh perspectives and community connection
**17:30 – 19:00:** **Design with Purpose: An Interior Design Workshop** with Natalia Juncosa
**19:00 – 20:00:** **Evening Gathering** – Continued conversations and relaxed networking on the terrace
📍 Location: Circle House: Camí de Vallvidrera al Tibidabo num5, 08017 Barcelona

Masterclass 🎯 Encuentra tu Propósito
**Masterclass 🎯 Encuentra tu Propósito**
**Claves para dar dirección a tu vida**

Durante la sesión exploraremos:
**✅ Qué es realmente el propósito** — y por qué no se “inventa”, sino que se revela.
**✅ Misión, visión y valores personales** — los pilares sobre los que construir tu vida.
**✅ Metas y objetivos con sentido** — cómo definirlos desde la identidad, no desde la presión externa.
**✅ Cómo encontrar o elegir tu propósito** — claves prácticas y preguntas de autoconocimiento.
**✅ Técnicas para determinar tu propósito** — ejercicios de coaching, PNL y reflexión guiada.
👉 **Formato:** conferencia con manual PDF (teórico-práctica)
👉 **Incluye**: Manual PDF con teoría y ejercicios
👉 **Precio**: 10€

Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.
As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact?
Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization.
We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM.
📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St
Located in: The Shops at Worthington
Ample parking is available.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
Start your morning with clarity and connection — we hope to see you there! ☀️
