Storytelling Barcelona – "Goosebumps"
Wed, Oct 21, 5:00 PMIn honor of Halloween, our theme for October is GOOSEBUMPS 👻 The moments that made your skin prickle. Fear, awe, intuition, dread, wonder. Give us stories that chilled you, haunted you, or left you breathless. Supernatural or psychological. Real or imagined. The feeling that something was about to happen—and then did. As always, interpret the theme freely. **As always, interpret the theme freely.** 📍 **Where:** Café El Noa Noa, C/Villarroel 71, Eixample 🕢 **When:** Wednesday, Oct 21st **Time:** Doors at 19:00 — Stories from 19:30 to 21:30 💶 **Free entry** \| **Donations welcome** **Please come just to listen or get on stage,** be vulnerable, and share with us, a diverse group of welcoming and open people who are curious about each others' lives. Stories will last from 7 to 10 minutes. Expect ten stories plus an intermission. **Storytelling Barcelona is a completely free event run by volunteers.** We welcome everyone to get on stage! Absolutely no experience is necessary. We only ask that stories be true and personal and that they are performed as opposed to read—and they should be stories instead of philosophical musings, motivational speeches, or stand-up routines. The content is completely at the discretion of the storyteller as long as it is related in the monthly theme and respectful to the diversity and experiences of all humans. **Interested in sharing a story?** Spots are volunteer-based and given on a first come, first serve basis.

Backstory Talks: The importance of universal basic income

Yoga for Activists
Sun, Oct 25, 9:00 AM**Yoga for activists - a space to ground and recharge, all levels, body types, and backgrounds welcome. Bring a mat and flow with us.** Join us on the third Sunday of each month for a yoga practice for activists, organisers, healers, careworkers, and anyone doing the exhausting work of trying to change things. Here's a chance to actually rest inside your body, not just push through it. This isn't yoga as a break from the movement; it's yoga as part of it, rooted in yoga philosophy's original threads of discipline, non-harm and liberation. With space for quiet reflection or exchange afterward. After practice, you’re invited to grab tea/coffee/cake + hang out, talk, connect, build friendships and more. The inspiration to connect beyond the mat comes from the beautiful Yoga Community Project created by Matti in London – if you’re also longing for community here, come be part of this. This practice is donation based, on a sliding scale from €5-€10. You may donate via Bizum, bank transfer or in cash after the practice. Due to systems of oppression, we find ourselves financially in different places in our lives. When making a donation, we encourage you to reflect on the privileges or lack of privileges you have and consider the opportunities or lack of opportunities that society, systems, policies, and structures have afforded you based on your caste, race, gender identity, class, sexual orientation, and body ability. Location: Ciutadella Park, [Plaça de Sonia Rescalvo Zafra](https://maps.app.goo.gl/BBpDX9rEEcUn2num6?g_st=ac) ✨ As we can only offer 15 spots, places are limited; if your plans change, kindly cancel your registration so someone else can take your place. **Accessibility** • The practice area is located in the park. The entrance to the practice has eight steps • Wooden surface (may be harder for the body – please bring what you need for comfort, for example a towel) • No added scents or incense • Public toilet at \~250m and accessible toilets • Outdoors – please dress for the weather **What to bring** • Blanket, mat or towel (anything non‑slippery) • Small towel/cushion to support sitting bones, knees or head • Sun/mosquito protection/Warm layers for cold seasons • Bottle of water • Anything else that supports your practice We hope to see you there!
