Through mantras from India, medicine songs from the Americas, and melodies inspired by native traditions, Europe, and beyond, our voices come together in a collective experience of connection and expression. ​This journey expands through their **Plant Sound Experience**, where plants become part of the music itself. Using biofeedback technology, the natural electrical signals of plants are transformed into sound in real time, creating a living and evolving soundscape. ​The result is an immersive experience where music, nature, and human presence merge — inviting you into a deeper connection with yourself, the group, and the living world around you. ​A space to sing, to feel, and to journey inward. *** ## ​Sobre el Evento ​Te invitamos a una tarde de música, conexión y viaje interior. ​Comenzamos con un **ritual de cacao ceremonial**, que nos ayuda a suavizar el cuerpo y abrir el corazón, creando un espacio de presencia y conexión compartida. ​A continuación, nos adentramos en un **viaje musical en directo con Ancient Journey**, un círculo de canto donde recorreremos sonidos sagrados de distintas culturas ancestrales.

Sus señales eléctricas se transforman en sonido en tiempo real, creando un paisaje sonoro orgánico, único y en constante evolución. ​Una experiencia inmersiva donde música, naturaleza y presencia se entrelazan, invitándote a reconectar contigo, con el grupo y con la vida. ​Un espacio para cantar, sentir y viajar hacia dentro. *** ## ​Qué esperar / What to Expect ​• Ceremonial cacao ritual • Guided arrival & intention setting • Live kirtan & medicine music • Singing circle (no experience needed) • Plant Sound Experience (live music with plants) • Multi-instrumental journey (voice, flutes, drums, guitar & more) • Deep, immersive and meditative soundscape • Closing integration moment ​**Language:** Bilingual (Spanish & English spoken in the space) *** ## ​Esta experiencia es para ti si / This is for you if ​• Te gusta la música en vivo y el canto consciente • Sientes curiosidad por la conexión entre música y naturaleza • Quieres abrir la voz en un espacio seguro • Buscas una experiencia profunda, sensible y diferente ​• You enjoy live music and conscious singing • You are curious about music and nature connection • You want to explore your voice in a safe space • You are open to a deep and immersive experience *** ## ​Cómo prepararte & Guidelines ​Before the event / Antes del evento ​• Arrive 10–15 minutes early • Light fasting (2–3 hours) if joining cacao *** ​During the experience / Durante la experiencia ​• No phones *Sin teléfonos* *• Respectful, quiet, and present space* *• No alcohol or drugs* Sin alcohol ni drogas • Consent-based environment *** ​What to bring / Qué traer ​• Comfortable clothing • Water bottle • Open voice & open heart *** ## ​Facilitators ​Ancient Journey ​Ancient Journey is a live music duo where voice, ancestral sounds, organic instruments, native flute, guitar, and electronic textures weave together to create a space for inner exploration and connection. ​Through their **Plant Sound Experience**, plants become part of the music — their subtle electrical signals translated into sound in real time, creating a living, breathing soundscape that invites you into presence, connection, and deep listening. *** ## ​Schedule ​**18:30 — Cacao Ceremony** **19:30 — Kirtan & Medicine Music (Ancient Journey)** *** ## ​Practical Information ​📅 Sunday 19 April ⏰ 18:30–21:30 📍 Samanà Space — Poblenou, Barcelona *** ## ​📍 Location & House Guidelines ​**Samanà Space** Carrer de Pujades 77–79 Planta 8 — Timbre 2809 ​Our Space: ​• Shoe-free zone • Vegan space • Alcohol & drug-free • Respectful, consent-based environment

Realizamos Taichi al aire libre aún asi solicitamos que debido al CoViD cada participante decida libremente y se responsabilice de las medidas que desee tomar respecto a la situación sanitaria actual El Taichi es una arte marcial basado en la filosofía taoísta y en su visión del universo, que además de fomentar habilidades marciales, ayuda a mejorar la salud, la conciencia corporal y puede ser un camino para el desarrollo personal y espiritual de los que lo practican. Este arte marcial es diferente a la mayoría de las que podáis conocer. Mientras otras se basan en la fuerza y la potencia el Taichí es una respuesta a la pregunta: ¿Por qué combatir la fuerza bruta con más fuerza cuando es posible aprovechar la de tu adversario? Si estas pinceladas os llaman la atención podéis venir a conocer el Taichi de forma gratuita, cada domingo de manos del Sifu Albert Sala. Las clases son de 9 a 10:30 de la mañana en el parque situado al final del Carrer Lleida delante del recinto llamado “El mercat de les flors” (cerca de las paradas de metro “Plaça Espanya” y “Poble Sec”). Somos razonables en la práctica del Taichi y os ayudaremos a no realizar prácticas que puedan provocaros un daño pero en última instancia cada participante es responsable de si mismo y os pedimos que nos comuniquéis problemas de salud o lesiones que pudiesen causaros perjuicio alguno. Además os repetimos que debéis velar de forma adulta y consciente de vuestro bienestar y por tanto os hacemos responsables en ultima instancia del mismo. We practice Taichi out in the open but been aware of CoViD we want for each practitioner to take the mesures to protect themselfs in the corrent situation the way they see fit under their own responsibility. Taichi is a martial art based in the Taoist philosophy and its vision of the universe, in addition to the improvement of the martial skills of its practitioners, helps to enhance their health, their body awareness, and also can be a path for their personal and spiritual growth. This martial art is set apart from the majority of the other ones you may know. Other martial arts are based in strength and muscle power, but Taichi is instead an answer to the question: ¿Why fight strength with strength when you could use their power against them? If these bits have caught your attention you can come to know Taichi for free, all Sundays taught by Sifu Albert Sala. The lessons start at 9:00 am and run throught 10:30 am in the parc that is at Lleida Street (Carrer Lleida) in front of the building called “El mercat de les flors” (It’s near de subway stations of Plaça Espanya and Poble Sec). We encorage a rational training of Taichi and will help you to prevent posible injuries in its practice. But you have to be conscius and responsable of yourself so we ask of you to comunicate with us any posible health problems or injuries that may be bring harm to you during training. However you have to be aware and concious of your well-being and therefore we hold you ultimately responsible for it.

Reserva tu plaza y disfruta de este momento para ti.

El momento en que algo se inicia, consciente o inconscientemente, y cuyo fruto puede tardar hasta 6 meses en revelarse. Aries es el primer signo — fuego cardinal, inicio de la primavera. Competitivo, independiente, atrevido. La energía que empuja hacia adelante sin pedir permiso. A veces sin entender del todo por qué. Y está bien: la Luna Nueva en Aries no pide claridad, pide impulso. Nos reunimos el domingo 19 de abril para hablar de ese momento — y después hacemos lecturas de carta express: 15 minutos por persona. Se recomienda traer la carta natal en una web o app donde se vea con claridad. Si no sabes cómo obtenerla puedes usar carta-natal.es ¿Te animas?

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings. Find us on our [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EKw86WJCp/?mibextid=wwXIfr).

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event!

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 BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am 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 is 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.

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 all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan
