The European Union is best understood not as an economic project that acquired political ambitions, but as a peace project that chose economics as its instrument. In 1945 Europe lay in ruins, and the people who built it had a clear diagnosis: the recurring catastrophe was nationalism — the conviction that nation-states are entitled to pursue their interests against each other by force. Their cure was integration. If you bind countries' economies together tightly enough, war between them becomes not just undesirable but materially impossible. From a modest start binding together the raw materials of war, the logic extended to more and more areas over the following decades: a common market, then a single market, then a shared currency, and eastward expansion after the Cold War.

La propuesta de esta actividad es ir a participar en una visita comentada de la exposición *“Los Nabís: de Bonnard a Vuillard”* que se celebra en la sala de exposiciones de La Pedrera. Los Nabís fue un grupo de artistas franceses que emergió a finales del siglo XIX bajo la influencia de la pintura de Paul Gauguin y el arte japonés. El grupo reunió a más de una docena de artistas de personalidad diversa, pero con intereses comunes, como la dimensión simbólica y emocional de la pintura, o el interés por las formas depuradas, los colores intensos y la exploración de la superficie plana del espacio plástico. La exposición es una oportunidad de conocer con detalle a este grupo singular de creadores que se autoafirmaron como “los profetas” del nuevo arte, y que históricamente se sitúan en la transición entre el impresionismo y las primeras vanguardias históricas. La muestra reúne cerca de 200 piezas de artistas como Paul Sérusier, Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Jan Verkade, Élie Ranson, Maurice Denis, Félix Vallotton o el escultor rosellonés Aristide Maillol. La exposición está comisariada por la historiadora de arte Isabelle Cahn, especializada en Los Nabís y conservadora del Musée d’ Orsay, museo que ha colaborado en el proyecto que se presenta en La Pedrera de Antoni Gaudí. La actividad tiene un costo de 16 euros que incluyen la entrada a la exposición y la visita comentada.

Some people call it wishful thinking, we call it mastery 👇 We've been raised in a world that has taught us that action = results and we have to put in the hours, blood sweat and tears to achieve what we want. For the masculine energy, this is great! But that is not how we are meant to operate all the time as women. The masculine is electric and it creates through action. The feminine is magnetic and we receive through magnetism. When was the last time you really allowed yourself to RECEIVE your desires effortlessly? Without thinking about if you deserved it/worked hard enough. Without feeling guilty that it came too easy? Without feeling like other women might side-eye you from jealousy? This is the space where shame dies and erotic abundance awakens. We are here to show you that everything you desire, can come to you through pleasure. And your body is your portal. Your sex is your mirror - how much orgasmic pleasure you can hold, truly related to how much abundance in ALL areas of your life, you can hold. We have curated a shame-free and supportive space where you can come and expand your capacity for pleasure in a natural, organic and sustainable way. This is especially for our female entrepreneurs who know how to operate in their masculine energy and who are so ready to quantum leap their business and LIFE through embodying their full spectrum of feminine, magnetic, pleasurable energy as well! Expect to quantum leap your life during this portal and in your life following ;) This will be a women's circle like you've never experienced it before. WHEN: June 27th 17-20h WHERE: Casa Namaste INVESTMENT: 25 euro (normal price is 35 but since this is our first edition of the pleasure portal, you get 10 discount!) Pay via Bizum (657422666), Revolut (@kendalockd), or PayPal (@kendybe) within 24 hours of RSVP to secure your space Yummy snacks included 🤤 If you bring a friend to this circle, you get 10 euro discount on the next circle!

**ESPAÑOL** english below **MITOH** **Stepping into the Unknown** **Contemporary Butoh & Performance Lab** **By ORKA (Orlando Whales)** *Explore presence, imagination and transformation through contemporary butoh practice.* **MITOH** es un laboratorio intensivo de investigación corporal inspirado en la danza Butoh y la performance contemporánea. Nacido en el Japón de posguerra, el Butoh desarrolló una forma radical de presencia escénica capaz de explorar territorios normalmente invisibles: la transformación, la vulnerabilidad, la memoria, el instinto y lo desconocido. A través de imágenes, improvisación guiada y prácticas somáticas, los participantes serán invitados a abandonar patrones habituales de movimiento para descubrir nuevas formas de percepción, presencia y expresión. Más que enseñar una técnica cerrada, MITOH propone una experiencia directa del cuerpo como territorio de exploración poética y creación contemporánea. **CONTENIDOS** • Introducción al Butoh contemporáneo • Presencia y escucha corporal • Imágenes y estados físicos • Improvisación guiada • Transformación y metamorfosis • Composición instantánea • Performance y poética del cuerpo **METODOLOGÍA** La sesión combina: • Prácticas somáticas • Entrenamiento perceptivo • Improvisación individual y grupal • Trabajo con imágenes • Composición performativa • Creación de acciones escénicas breves **OPEN PERFORMANCE SESSION** La jornada culminará con una sesión performativa abierta al público. No se trata de una muestra académica ni de una exhibición técnica. Será un espacio de investigación viva donde participantes, performers e invitados podrán compartir acciones, imágenes y materiales surgidos durante la experiencia. Un umbral entre laboratorio y performance. **DIRIGIDO A** • Actores • Bailarines • Performers • Artistas visuales • Creadores escénicos • Personas interesadas en la investigación corporal **No es necesaria experiencia previa.** **MATERIAL NECESARIO** Ropa cómoda para el movimiento. Opcionalmente, un objeto sencillo o prenda significativa para utilizar durante la exploración performativa. Para ello ropa preferiblemente de un único color (negra o blanca). **FECHA Y HORARIO** **Sábado 27 de Junio de 2026** **17:00h – 20:00h** **MITOH · Contemporary Butoh & Performance Lab** **20:30h – 21:30h** **MITOH · Open Performance Session** (Abierta al público) **Precio: 55 €** [INFORMACIÓN, INSCRIPCIÓN Y PAGO AQUÍ](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceX-oBKLMBW9KK3x1QWFC_Pe-GJeECH_DDCov0aSmUFIjbBg/viewform?pli=1) **ORKA (Orlando Whales)** es un artista performativo europeo cuya práctica se sitúa entre el Butoh, el teatro físico y la performance contemporánea.

Born in post-war Japan, Butoh developed a radical form of stage presence capable of exploring territories that often remain invisible: transformation, vulnerability, memory, instinct, and the unknown. Through imagery, guided improvisation, and somatic practices, participants are invited to step beyond habitual movement patterns and discover new possibilities of perception, presence, and expression. Rather than teaching a fixed technique, MITOH offers a direct experience of the body as a territory for poetic exploration and contemporary creation. **CONTENTS** • Introduction to Contemporary Butoh • Presence and Embodied Awareness • Physical States and Imagery • Guided Improvisation • Transformation and Metamorphosis • Instant Composition • Performance and the Poetics of the Body **METHODOLOGY** The laboratory combines: • Somatic Practices • Perceptual Training • Individual and Group Improvisation • Image-Based Work • Performative Composition • Creation of Short Scenic Actions **OPEN PERFORMANCE SESSION** The day culminates in an open performance session. This is not an academic presentation or a technical showcase. Rather, it is a space for live research where participants, performers, and invited guests can share actions, images, and materials that emerge throughout the experience. A threshold between laboratory and performance. **WHO IS IT FOR?** • Actors • Dancers • Performers • Visual Artists • Theatre Makers • Movement Researchers • Anyone interested in embodied artistic exploration **No previous experience is necessary.** **WHAT TO BRING** Comfortable clothing suitable for movement. Optionally, participants may bring a simple object or meaningful garment to use during the performative explorations. For the final session, monochromatic clothing (preferably black or white) is recommended. **DATE & SCHEDULE** **Saturday, June 27, 2026** **17:00 – 20:00** **MITOH · Contemporary Butoh & Performance Lab** **20:30 – 21:30** **MITOH · Open Performance Session** (Open to the public) **Fee: €55** [INFORMATION, REGISTRATION & PAYMENT AVAILABLE HERE](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceX-oBKLMBW9KK3x1QWFC_Pe-GJeECH_DDCov0aSmUFIjbBg/viewform?pli=1) **ORKA (Orlando Whales)** is a European performance artist whose practice moves between Butoh, physical theatre, and contemporary performance. His work explores transformation through the body, symbolic imagery, and visual dramaturgy, creating poetic landscapes where myth, memory, and imagination converge. His creations include: • **ALADDIN: The Awakening of Shiva** • **(PIN)OCCHIO: The Soul's Journey** • **MORPHEUS: Sandman & The Seven Sins** • **NAGASAKI: Wilderness Mute (Natura Morta)** (with Keiko Fujiie) • **ICARUS: The Last Flight** Since 2016, he has directed ORACLES Theatre in Barcelona and has developed body research laboratories and performance workshops across Europe. **[www.orlandowhales.com](www.orlandowhales.com)**

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

Come join us to discuss our July pick "Tusk Love" by Thea Guanzon! Book description: A merchant’s daughter who yearns for adventure gets more than she bargained for when she falls for a broodingly handsome stranger in this saucy romantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars. “A true delight of a book! Spicy and heartfelt—this one is a winner all around.”—Katee Robert, author of Neon Gods As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure. Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack. Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down—even if the spark between them sizzles with promise. Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance. Written by New York Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Role’s Jester Lavorre, Tusk Love brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
