Yoga for Queer People

Yoga for Queer People

Sun, Oct 4, 8:00 AM
From Decolonising Yoga Community BCN

**Yoga sessions celebrating queer joy, self-love, and good energy. Bring a towel or a mat and flow with us.** Join us on the first Sunday of each month for a yoga practice held specifically for Queer folks. No need to translate, hide or shrink any part of yourself to be here. Much of what gets called "yoga" in the West has quietly inherited rigid, binary, body-policing ideas that have little to do with the tradition's actual roots. This class moves through āsana, breath and a bit of philosophy, in a group where Queerness is the default. All levels welcome. No prior practice, flexibility, or "yoga body" required. 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!

This October we're turning that into action: a charity run where every kilometer raises money for AFANOC. 🧡 **WHO IS AFANOC?** Founded by parents who refused to let any family face childhood cancer alone, AFANOC supports families from diagnosis onward — including a home, La Casa dels Xuklis, where they can stay together during treatment. We visited last year and saw what that support really means. ❤️ **RUNNERS, BUT ALSO NEIGHBORS** This run is how our community puts down roots in Barcelona. Digital nomads move through this city constantly — this is our chance to give back to it directly, alongside the local families and organizations who call it home. 🤝 **AFTER THE FINISH LINE ROOFTOP CHARITY VILLAGE & ROOFTOP POOL HANGOUT** ​Head to La Fabrica & Co's rooftop for the AFANOC Charity Village. Grab solidarity merch from local artists, donate directly, or just hang with fellow runners. 💛 100% of funds go straight to AFANOC. **EACH DONATION COUNTS! [DONATION LINK](https://www.transperfectmountainchallenge.com/en/nomad-charity-run/?utm_source=luma)!** ​*You **donate directly to AFANOC** through the link below.

Workshop: Let's talk about climate (BCN Climate Week Special)

Workshop: Let's talk about climate (BCN Climate Week Special)

Sat, Oct 17, 9:00 AM
From Let's talk about climate change
4.8

Do you care about climate change, but find it hard to discuss with your friends and family? Do you worry about not knowing enough about climate change to be able to start a conversation? Do your attempts at bringing up the climate crisis result in unproductive arguing, or - perhaps even worse - complete silence and a change of topic? If you answered yes, this workshop is for you! You are invited to join two experts who will help you gain skills and confidence in engaging others on climate change: Siri is a former climate communications professional, current climate communications enthusiast. She believes that acting on climate together can make a real difference to the planetary emergency, and also bring us closer as people (which in itself is pretty useful in a planetary emergency!). Inez is a climate coalition builder at ESAlogika and is certified in transcultural counselling. She has unwavering faith in grassroots action and the importance of being a bridge among differences. She believes that Friendship is one of most important (yet underrated) forms of climate activism. During this workshop you will learn how to have good and productive climate conversations, using insights from social science and real-life experiences. You will also get to practice key skills and simple tips that you can put into action right away. The workshop is hosted by Let’s Talk About Climate Change, a volunteer-run community based in Barcelona. The group started at the end of 2022 by two friends who longed to connect with others who also care deeply about the climate crisis. Since our first energising event connecting 8 strangers, the group has been running for over three years hosting over 70 events. We typically run monthly talk, book club discussions, as well as excursions, find out more about us:https://www.meetup.com/lets-talk-about-climate-change/events/ This is a special event co-hosted by Barcelona's first climate week therefore we also have another RSVP option via Luma if you prefer (https://luma.com/fmx69zpn), **please make sure you sign up only once either on Meet=up or Luma to help us keep track of numbers of attendees!** For this workshop, if you are able to, we **kindly request a small donation up to 5 euros** to help cover the cost of venue rental and annual Meet-up subscription fee.
