**Weekly Wednesday Morning Rides are here!!** **Where & When:** * **Location:** **Forum (Poblenou)** * **Time:** 06:30 (Now that mornings are getting lighter this sees us return for 9am latest) * **Route:** https://www.strava.com/routes/3458756381789219340 **What to Expect:** This is a fairly flat group ride with just one key climb that is neither too long or too steep. The ride is designed to be done in approx 2.5 hours for fitter riders and sees us ride as a group before either heat or traffic are a factor. We'll ride together as a group, either single-file or double-file depending on traffic conditions. Whilst we will wait at the top of climbs and other easier areas, this is not a beginner ride. Please be prepared to be dropped if you can't keep up with the pace. **Is This Ride for Me?** While this ride is open to everyone, we ask that you are comfortable riding in groups, have a road bike, and have done rides of similar distance and elevation before. We welcome all newcomers but everyone is expected to be self-sufficient, therefore please bring not only your bike but also sync the route, bring phone, cash and lights. **Safety:** Ride leaders will do their best to keep the group together, moving smoothly and safely at all times. We'll stop at red lights and obey traffic rules. Ultimate safety starts and ends with everyone riding responsibly, and everyone will be responsible for their own safety. There's no commercial interest behind this event; it's just a bunch of people sharing a fun day out. Looking forward to riding with you!

Book launch: Shadow Journaling

Book launch: Shadow Journaling

Mon, Sep 28, 4:00 PM
From Shadow Journaling Barcelona
5.0

Join Oliver Mann for the local launch of *Shadow Journaling: A Field Guide to Personal Alchemy*, his new book on using writing to work with the parts of ourselves we usually avoid. Drawing on his Reveal, Reclaim, Rewrite framework, Oliver will talk about the ideas behind the book, read a short passage, and take questions, with signed copies available. Oliver created *Shadow Journaling* after feeling frustrated that so much journaling advice never gave the depth he needed. Through studying Jung, Robert Johnson, Debbie Ford, Nathaniel Branden, Kay Adams and Gloria Kempton, Oliver found a thread that helped him, and later his students, go gently into the shadow, with a light, with support, and the confidence that we will grow. *Shadow Journaling* is about listening to the unheard you.
