🐦 Birdsong Mindfulness Walks
Slow, nature-based mindfulness in Barcelona
Birdsong Mindfulness Walks are slow, mostly silent meditation walks, guided by birdsong, breath, and gentle presence 🌿 An invitation to step out of the rush and reconnect — with your body, your senses, and the natural world.
Just walking. Listening. Being here.
🌳 Why birdsong?
I love birds. As a hobby, I’m a birder — I enjoy observing, photographing, and learning to identify birds by sight and sound, as well as making field recordings of nature 🐦
Birdsong is already happening — we don’t need to create anything.
Listening to natural sounds helps the nervous system settle and gently brings attention back to the present moment.
Nature becomes the guide.
🚶♀️ What the walk is like
⏰ Around 60 minutes
🐢 Slow, gentle pace (this is not a fitness walk or a hike)
🤫 Mostly silent, with light guidance
🌿 Occasional pauses to listen, sense, or be still
We begin by gathering, then move to a quieter space for a short grounding practice before walking mindfully through the area.
You’re always welcome to walk at your own pace.
✨ Reiki & stillness
I hold a gentle Reiki presence throughout the walk — a subtle, supportive quality of attention that encourages relaxation and grounding.
For larger groups, individual Reiki is not offered during the walk.
If you’d like a short 5-minute Reiki session, you’re very welcome to let me know in advance or come speak with me before or after the walk. This is always by consent — resting quietly is just as welcome.
🗣 Language
Guided talks and meditations are currently offered in English.
I’m learning Spanish and Catalan, and I hope to offer guided practices in those languages in the future.
🌱 Who it’s for
These walks are for you if:
you’re feeling burnt out or overstimulated
you want a reflective pause before or after work
you’re curious about mindfulness without a formal setting
you enjoy nature and slow, intentional experiences
No prior mindfulness or Reiki experience needed. All ages and genders welcome.
🌧 What if it rains?
Sometimes rain can be part of the experience — quiet, grounding, and even a little magical.
If it rains lightly, the walk will usually still go ahead, and we’ll choose routes with mostly concrete paths (often around Jardins de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer).
In cases of heavy rain, strong wind, or storm alerts, the walk will be cancelled for safety reasons.
If you’d rather not walk in the rain or with an umbrella, that’s completely understandable — in that case, please cancel your RSVP so someone else can take the spot.
💛 Why I offer this
These walks help me stay accountable to my own mindfulness and nature-based practice, and they’re my way of giving back — to people, community, and the spaces that support us.
I’m also a mindfulness teacher in training, and part of this path includes learning through practice. From time to time, I may gently invite feedback so I can continue growing as a facilitator.
If you join a walk or share this with others, you’re supporting me in your own way — and I’m deeply grateful.
👥 Group size & cost
Group size may vary as interest grows, while keeping the pace slow and the experience spacious.
🌿 Walks are currently offered for free as my way of giving back. Donations are welcome to help cover Meetup costs and keep the walks accessible to others, but are never expected.
Your presence is enough.
🎧 Consent & phones
The only consent I’ll ask for is for audio recording (for my mindfulness teacher training). I won’t take photos during the walk. You’re welcome to take photos after, and I gently invite minimal phone use during the experience.

Upcoming walks are shared on Meetup.
