Feminarum – Women’s Map is the Meet & Map area devoted to women’s realities, wisdom, and collective strength, guided by the Humanitarian Compass Method™. It is a space for recognition, healing, and cooperation among women across cultures and generations.
Feminarum addresses motherhood and the shared challenges and solitude many women experience. It maps and connects support networks, enabling women to learn from, collaborate with, and strengthen existing initiatives. It also focuses on financial resources, gathering ideas, tools, and inspiring references that support shared economic resilience and material autonomy. Finally, Feminarum promotes knowledge of women’s history, including the roots of fragmentation and division among women, as a necessary step toward reconciliation, solidarity, and collective empowerment.
What have we experienced?
Over 11 years, Meet & Map has facilitated and accompanied multiple spaces for women, including motherhood and mother-entrepreneurship gatherings that address the profound transformation women experience during pregnancy and their return to social and professional life. We have also engaged in sisterhood circles inspired by ancestral knowledge and natural cycles, alongside innovative initiatives in technology and circular economy created by and for women.
What have we learned?
We have learned that competition between women is deeply harmful, as it betrays our inherent capacity as community builders — a capacity urgently needed in this historical moment. This dynamic often leads to nervous exhaustion, fragmented projects, and long-term disconnection. We have also learned that initiatives designed for women but grounded in patriarchal value systems reproduce the same limitations they seek to overcome. Conversely, when women come together to share dreams, resources, vulnerabilities, and visions, meaningful transformation becomes possible.
What do we propose?
We propose to collect, connect, and frame inspiring spaces, practices, and resources from around the world that can be applied in both personal and collective life. We also propose to reconnect with ancient knowledge and align our actions with a broader, coherent vision of the world we seek to create in this lifetime — one rooted in cooperation, care, and shared abundance.
Initiatives
Financial Education in Community
We organized a gathering with financial education professionals such as Anabella Lázaro, founder of the Sustainable Investors Club, Sandra Corrales, financial advisor, and Mar Olmedo as trainer. Together, they inspired a diverse audience of women: entrepreneurs, freelancers, those with emerging ideas, established initiatives, or simply a desire to learn and share. Throughout the day, participants received guidance, practical tools, and fresh perspectives in a warm and carefully held environment, where a strong sense of collective support was present throughout.
Transition and Emotional Well-being
We supported the Barcelona School of Laughter Therapy through a transition process involving a change in team and a renewal of its foundations, integrating art therapy and an important international dimension. The presence of women, together with a focus on emotional well-being, was essential in ensuring an efficient and harmonious transition. As concluded during the process, joy is the highest vibration.
Entrepreneurship and Motherhood
Meet & Map supported a unique initiative in Barcelona: Maters, led by Alejandra Yuste with the support of Raquel Cabrera, designed for women entrepreneurs. With the essential sponsorship of the Veritas space, the event brought together more than 60 entrepreneurial mothers, all welcomed alongside their children, in a space for learning and connection around the challenges and opportunities that emerge with motherhood. A meaningful and much-needed initiative, with the potential to be replicated across different contexts and territories.
Building Networks of Support
We created a two-month support network to bring women entrepreneurs together, fostering inspiration, connection, and mutual growth.

Intergenerational Dialogues on Feminism
We supported the early launch of a humanistic cycle exploring the future of feminism in Catalonia, hosted by Dones pel Futur, a non-profit organization.
The gathering took place at Palau Macaya, a space of remarkable beauty and symbolic value supported by UNESCO. Conceived as an intergenerational invitation, this cycle opened a series of three workshops dedicated to reflection, dialogue, and collective inquiry.
Inspiring Future Generations
DIVA is a Youth Exchange project coordinated by Plateforme de Solidarité Internationale in France.
Within this initiative, Meet & Map will host a group of young female participants who will engage with and be inspired by women in Barcelona working across politics, international communities, the European Parliament, journalism, and activism. Through these encounters, the aim is to leave meaningful and lasting impressions that can shape their future paths.
