Coffee Connections
Coffee Connections
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. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. 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).

Inspired by the [Cinema Clubs and magazines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahiers_du_Cin%C3%A9ma) of the 1950s in France that launched what we now know as the "film critic", this event will follow a similar structure. We'll gather and watch a film at a beautiful private residence hosted by one of our BCN Screenwriting Session regulars!

This gathering will be totally free. Well also have a few snacks out (you’re welcome to bring some too!). As an added bonus, we *may* screen a short film (just like the old days of Pixar) right before the movie, if everyone is early/on time. Below is the approx. schedule - we ask you to please be on time! 7:15/30pm - We'll meet and mingle! 7:45pm - Movie starts! \~9:45pm - Movie ends and we'll chat, debate, share thoughts, and tea :) 10:30pm - We'll respect the owners home, and graciously help her clean up, and sleep.

ALL THE WOMEN IN ME: meet, greet & embrace all the sub personalities within
ALL THE WOMEN IN ME: meet, greet & embrace all the sub personalities within
**🌸 ALL THE WOMEN IN ME 🌸** ***INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY SPECIAL*** A Journaling Workshop for Every Version of You Let's be honest – we're all carrying around an entire committee of women inside us. You know them well: the perfectionist who color-codes her calendar, the rebel who wants to dye her hair blue at 40, the inner critic who's somehow channeling your third-grade teacher, and that wild dreamer who still believes she'll learn to juggle while riding a unicycle (hey, no judging!) But hey, where are they all coming from? Let's look in the past, dive into your family's story, and see what comes up! Through guided writing exercises, we'll: * Meet your inner cast of characters (and maybe discover some surprise guests) * Explore how these different parts of you have shaped your story * Learn to embrace your contradictions (yes, you can be both a warrior and someone who cries at cat videos) * Transform self-judgment into self-acceptance (or at least a friendly eye-roll) What to bring: * Your favorite notebook (the one you've been saving for "something special" – this is it!) * A pen that makes you feel like a writer * Your sense of humor * Zero journaling experience required – seriously, even if your last diary entry was "All boys are idiots!", some time in secondary school * Who this is for: Women who are curious about their own complexity, tired of trying to fit into one-size-fits-all definitions, and ready to explore their inner world with honesty and a dash of wit. Details: * 1.5-hour workshop * Small group setting (max 10 participants) * Guided exercises, free writing, and group sharing (only if you want to – no pressure!) Come join us for an evening of self-discovery, real talk, and maybe even some surprisingly good laughs. Because getting to know yourself doesn't always have to be so serious. P.S. Your inner perfectionist wants you to know that it's totally fine to show up in sweatpants. Your inner diva suggests adding a fabulous scarf. We welcome them both. ABOUT THE ORGANIZER Hi! My name is Marusha, I'm a writer, book writing coach, journaling mentor, creator of the [Naked Words](www.mynakedwords.com) writing program, and founder of [Barcelona Journaling Festival](www.barcelonajournalingfestival.com). I preach the superpower of feel-good writing to everyone. I use journaling for self-therapy and as dynamic meditation. It also works great to boost your creativity and overcome writer's block if you feel stuck or drained. Feel free to follow [my Instagram account](https://www.instagram.com/followmarusha/) for tips and inspiration or [sign up for the Naked Words newsletter](https://girlswhowrite.kit.com/eb1ce8ec40) to be the first one in the know about the upcoming events.
Barcelona Neon Nights Cinematic Shoot
Barcelona Neon Nights Cinematic Shoot
Calling all videographers in Barcelona! Join us for a night of creating cinematic videos at curated locations in Barcelona with a styled model and instructor. **What is our goal?** To study and practice the art and technology of producing short film videos with the use of lighting, composition, camera angles, recording settings, lens selection, and subject movement. Cinematography is the visual storytelling in film conveying emotions, setting the mood, and shaping the narrative through the lens. Why shoot video at night? By capturing video at night you take advantage of the brilliant city colors to illuminate your subject adding an elevated sense of mood and drama. What better place to experiment than in the most beautiful city in Europe. Our tasks will be to shoot scenes using several techniques: \- subject in motion\, camera in position \- subject and camera in motion \- subject stationary\, camera pans around No experience is necessary, just bring your own cameras and enjoy!

This is limited and skewed towards "negative" emotions. And there have to be more "positive" emotions out there. Right? What would it be like to embody emotions like Heroism or Wonder or Peace or Compassion? Learn the ancient Indian system of Navarasas (Nava - 9; rasas - emotions) where we work with Indian myths as a way to evoke deep emotional responses. As formalized by the sage Bharata, this work will help you bring a whole new array of characters and experiences to life on stage. **Balasree Viswanathan** is an improviser based in Bangalore, India. She’s been performing and teaching improv since 2016, creating her own show formats, teams and improv learning journeys in India.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
