Instagram: @cercleahimsa Vine a gaudir i compartir una sessió basada en el ioga i en l'energia del cicle lunar. Cada setmana fem una sessió diferent aprofitant el moment lunar en el qual ens trobem, per exemple lluna plena: agraïment, lluna minvant: deixar anar... El pes central de la sessió està en la pràctica de ioga, però també fem una meditació profunda d'uns 10 min mínim i una conclusió de la sessió expressada a través de l'escriptura terapèutica o de l'expressió artística. Som un màxim de 8 persones i així creem espais de confiança i d'obertura on, a través del cos i el moviment, anem apropant-nos al camí de l'autoconeixement i la pau. Instagram: @cercleahimsa

*Please send me a message or call to book your place in the session, and let me know if you need to arrange a different time. Thank you!* About I absolutely love creating intuitive collages with people! It is an accessible and beautiful art form that is easy, efficient, fun and expressive. To create an intuitive collage, we simply cut out, glue and assemble various images to create a brand new picture. It does not need to make rational sense - it's all about letting go and allowing our intuition to guide us. Collage therapy involves the free-associative choosing of imagery and words, and recycling. Because collage is a projective technique, creating without preconceived intentions allows us to tap into our unconscious thoughts and emotions. The practical benefits of collage are: * Collages are easy to create, and no artistic skills are required. The emotional benefits of collage are: * Intuitive collage bypasses our censoring mind and can surprise us with new information about our inner life. * It provides a "symbolic release" of emotions, even if we are not yet conscious of what they are. * Collage can help us to "meet" and accept the inner parts of ourselves that we do not normally express from our socialized self. * It expresses the various aspects of our personality in visual form, helping us to understand, organize and sort out our "inner landscape" so that we can witness it compassionately. * The imagery and colors in an intuitive collage can reveal emotions more powerfully than verbal self-expression. We can FEEL imagery on nonverbal levels. About me Hi, I'm Valentina - an artist, Creative Art Therapist, yoga, dance, and pilates teacher. Originally from Latin America, I've lived in New York, London, and now Barcelona for a while. I draw inspiration from traveling and sharing the art-making process with people to help them expand their creative potential. As an artist and teacher, I've traveled the world and always carry color pencils and a block to socialize in creative ways! I believe that each one of us is inherently creative and infused with the gift of imagination to shape our experience into creative expression.

PLEASE, CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE! Anna: 651314706 Instagram: @cercleahimsa **Come join us to enjoy and share a session inspired by yoga and the energy of the lunar cycle.** Each week, we explore a different practice that aligns with the current moon phase (for example, Full Moon: gratitude; Waning Moon: letting go…) The heart of the session is the yoga practice, but we also include a deep meditation of at least 10 minutes, and we close the session with therapeutic writing or artistic expression as a way to integrate the experience. We are a small group of up to eight people, creating a safe and open space where, through the body and movement, we gently move closer to self-awareness and inner peace. Instagram: @cercleahimsa

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo.

Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).
