Meditation in a Conversation - Practice Presence with Yourself & Others

**Insight Circling ✨** What if **being with others** could become a path to **deeper connection**, **clarity**, and **inner knowing**? **Insight Circling** is a **relational mindfulness practice** in the form of a conversation. It is an invitation to connect more deeply with yourself and others, and to explore what happens in the present moment as we relate together. We practice noticing, without judgement, what is happening **within us and between us** right now. This may include observing: ✨ Sensations in the body ✨ Emotions as they arise ✨ Thoughts and inner narratives ✨ The subtle dynamics of connection with others By becoming more aware of our present-moment experience, we begin to understand ourselves more fully, lead ourselves more wisely, and cultivate trust in our own inner knowing. **What we’ll do** 🌱 Each session begins with gentle exercises that help us arrive, settle, and connect. Together we gradually develop our capacity to: 🍀 Be present with what is 🍀 Listen deeply to ourselves 🍀 Listen deeply to others 🍀 Speak from authentic experience 🍀 Stay connected in real-time relationship **This practice can support you to 💛** ✨ Connect more deeply with your emotions ✨ Feel more at ease and aligned in body and mind ✨ Receive inspiration and fresh insight ✨ Strengthen intuition and decision-making ✨ Improve relationships and connect more deeply with others ✨ Become unstuck in different areas of life and take meaningful action **Why I love this practice 🌟** I spent many years meditating, but when I discovered this practice it felt like a revelation — a missing piece. It helped me become aware of how I relate to others, how I create my life, and how presence can transform connection. **About the practice 🍀** This practice is inspired by **Circling**. Further information here: **[https://www.transformationalconnection.com/](https://www.transformationalconnection.com/)** Join us on this beautiful journey of discovering ourselves. **Good to know 📍** ✨ No previous experience is necessary ✨ This event will be held in **English** ✨ Offered by **donation**. Pay what you can. ✨ Places are limited Please RSVP here **and** message me on WhatsApp to confirm your place: 📲 +34 667 840 756 Numbers shown here may not always be accurate, as the event may also be shared elsewhere.

My own journey has included changing both career and country in order to live more in tune with who I truly am. I bring that lived experience into my work. I’m passionate about helping people connect deeply to themselves, uncover their creativity, and bring their gifts into the world through meaningful work. I have practiced meditation for over **20 years**, and spent **5 years** living and helping facilitate a retreat centre on a tiny island in Scotland, established by a Tibetan Buddhist monastery — one of the pioneers of mindfulness in the UK. I believe meditation and mindfulness are powerful tools for gaining clarity, focus, and the space to listen deeply within. They have certainly helped me a great deal. 🌟 **[www.freeyourflow.org](http://www.freeyourflow.org/)**

From trusted data to real business value — WomenTechmakers Barcelona

**Free Registration:** [https://luma.com/aia4z5b4 ](https://luma.com/aia4z5b4 ) **From trusted data to real business value — and the security that makes it possible.** ​Join Women Techmakers Barcelona and Le Wagon for an evening of technical talks exploring two essential aspects of working with data: how to turn data into valuable products and how to protect it in an increasingly connected world. ​Having data is not the same as creating value. Data becomes truly valuable when it is reliable, accessible, well-managed, and designed to solve real problems. At the same time, ensuring data security is essential to building trust and enabling organizations to innovate responsibly. ​Through two practical talks, we’ll explore these topics, exchange ideas, and connect with people passionate about data and technology. ​Whether you work in data, technology, analytics, or simply want to deepen your understanding of these topics, this event is a great opportunity to learn and connect with the community. ## ​🎤 Talks ​1. Data Products: From “We Have Data” to “We Have Value” ​**Speaker: Gabriela Soto** ​Having data doesn't automatically mean creating value. Value emerges when we transform reliable, accessible, and well-managed data into products that solve real problems and enable better decision-making. ​In this talk, we'll explore what makes a data product valuable, how to connect data initiatives with real business needs, and why trust, accessibility, and governance are essential to turning data into meaningful outcomes. ​2. Data Security: Securing Data in a Connected World ​**Speaker: Jesús González** ​Jesús González is a Barcelona-based data analyst with a diverse professional background. His interest in data began while working as a Customer Service Analyst, where he discovered the power of numbers and statistics. ​After graduating from Le Wagon's Data Analyst Bootcamp in December 2023, he went on to work as a Security Analyst at Arkose Labs, bringing together his experience in data and security. ## ​🗓️ Agenda * ​**18:00 – 18:30** \| Doors open & welcome * ​**18:30 – 18:40** \| Introduction: Women Techmakers Barcelona & Le Wagon * ​**18:40 – 19:15** \| Data Products: From “We Have Data” to “We Have Value” * ​**19:15 – 19:50** \| Data Security: Build trust in a connected world * ​**20:00 onwards** \| Networking ## ​🤝 Networking ​Stay after the talks to meet fellow professionals, exchange ideas, and grow your network in a welcoming community of people passionate about technology and data.
