Barcelona emblematic Wineries
Going to a winery in Barcelona is going through very special places in the city. The cellars retain a traditional spirit, which has been increasingly losing with the growth of the city. It is curious that these places to survive, but it is not surprising. Despite our opinion, people always prefer friendly service, affordable prices, and family warmness. In this way, and with the social and political changes, a diverse and intense city as Barcelona has passed, these spaces have survived and continue to sharing year after year their pleasant service. If you visit Barcelona, enjoying these wineries is definitely an experience not to be missed. In the cellars usually you will find tapas, ham sandwiches, accompanied by fresh beer, vermouth, wine and other drinks. Here is a brief list of some wineries that are a meeting point for the Catalan community. Since 1930, La Pineda keeps its doors open to offer the best tapas and snacks. With such a long tradition, and so much history, this wine-bar-charcuterie is located on the Pi Street, just steps away from the Palace of Maldá. In addition to tapas and snacks, you have to try its delicious vermouth. It is a really a pleasure to share with friends in this traditional place. A little older, the famous bar Castells continues to provide the best wines, beers and tapas from its shelves of beautiful old wood design. Another option, you can’t miss.

Carmen Merchán in Madrid: Mandalas
The psychoanalyst Carl G. Jung defined the Mandalas as a code of communication with the archetypes of collective unconscious. In Sanskrit, they mean ´center´ and ´totality´. Carmen Merchán, author of the book ´Mandalas of light´, will talk about this in Madrid on the 17th of February in her conference ´The healing symbolism of the Mandalas´. Carmen is a shamaness who studied this with masters in India and Egypt and from villages from the ancient and wrongly-called ´New World´: Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico and Peru, soaking in knowledge that has been transmitted for thousands of years by word of mouth and the engravings on rocks, textiles and ceramics. Today she is one of the professionals who works for the Institute of Integral Therapies and Energetic Learning (ITIEE). Holy healing, astrology and tarot are among her skills. In the work ´Psychology and Alchemy´ by Jung, published in 1943, you can find a chapter called ´Symbolism of the Mandala´. Jung worked on a selection of 400 dreams ´of mandala´, word that designates “the ritual or magical circle that, especially in Lamaism and also in tantric yoga, is used as Yantra as an instrument of contemplation”. It says that in 1938, in a monastery, a lama told him that mandala is a “mental image (…) that can only be constructed by the imagination of an enlightened lama”. He was also told that the true mandala is that who constructs himself internally with imagination. It would be long to insist to directly show how Jung used mandala with therapeutic aims, but this Friday 17th of February in Madrid, at 6.30pm, there´ll be a free conference...
