Facilitators Meetup in Barcelona Yesterday

· 1 min read

A group of smiling facilitators gathered around a long wooden table in a warmly lit Barcelona café

Hosted the IAF España meetup in Barcelona with Allison yesterday. We’re growing! ✨

One of the best parts of these gatherings is the mix of new faces like Willy Cousseau and Isabella Maglietti Smith, and familiar ones like Claudia Issa and Mireia Montané-Balagué returning again. It’s such a joy to hear about people’s new projects and ideas at one meetup, and then see how much things have evolved the next time around.

What I love most is the space these meetups create: to share stories, discover new opportunities, and simply talk to people who just get it.

See you at the next one in September!
