🐦 Birdsong Mindfulness Walks

Slow, nature-based mindfulness in Barcelona

Birdsong Mindfulness Walks are slow, mostly silent 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, and being here.

🌳 Why birdsong?

I love birds. As a hobby, I’m a birder — I enjoy exploring, observing, photographing birds, and making field recordings of nature sounds 🐦

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 (not a fitness walk)

• 🤫 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 practice for relaxation and grounding.

Toward the end, we pause for stillness, and I offer an optional short Reiki session by gently placing my hands on you.
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 returning to work

• you’re curious about mindfulness without a formal setting

• you enjoy nature and slow 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, the walk will usually still go ahead, and we’ll choose a route with mostly concrete paths rather than muddy trails (often around Jardins de Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer).

However, if there is heavy rain, or a high alert for strong winds or storms, 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 who enjoys walking in the rain 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.

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

• Small, intimate groups (usually up to 5 people)

• 1:1 walks available if preferred

• 🌿 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.

Your presence is enough.
