FOCx
Collaborations that illuminate experiences
FOCx
FOCx is an initiative based on FOC’s mission to celebrate the transformation of consciousness in the world.
The spirit of FOC reaches local and international communities through collaborative events, organized in communion with associations, companies, entities that seek new perspectives and wish to share and explore new ways of living and feeling reality.
With these events FOC wants to enrich its mission with innovative and disruptive initiatives throughout the year.
Events
An x for collaboration
Casa Batlló: Respira
“Breathe” is born from a deep connection and spirit of collaboration between the FOC and one of the most emblematic spaces in Barcelona, Casa Batlló.
From this union an annual program of Breathworks is born, which seeks to show that another way to start the day is possible.
A way away from screens, messages, mails, stress, pending tasks, a way to start connecting with the most basic and accessible gesture we have as human beings: breathing.
The Cover: AnomÁlias
AnomÁlias was born to create a space for a light, intimate and deep conversation between two people who talk to us about consciousness from their subjects. Seemingly different subjects. We do not seek confrontation, we seek to create an anomaly.
In The Cover, we will open a space to help us understand that the real anomaly is to believe that visions and subjects are in opposition, when in fact they are complementary and, together, reveal more complete visions of a common whole.
Institute of Advanced Neuroscience of Barcelona (INAB)
FOC and the Institute of Advanced Neuroscience of Barcelona (INAB) join forces to unveil the secrets of human thought. The study is part of the research line “Genesis of Thought,” currently underway in INAB’s laboratories.
For one week, INAB opens its doors to offer those interested in lending their brain for a while the opportunity to actively participate in neuroscience research—and, at the same time, to transform the way they see and understand thoughts.
Experience “Genesis of Thought.” Experience INAB.
Fundación Quiero Trabajo
Fundación Quiero Trabajo, a FOC collaborating partner for the past three editions, runs an ongoing emotional intelligence training programme for young people at Quatre Camins Prison. The Festival of Consciousness joined forces with Abel Jalal, one of the most powerful breathwork facilitators working today, who shared a deep and transformative session with the young people at the center,
