MINCA: Who We Are

MINCA is a creative studio in Barcelona, founded by Julia Stewart in 2024. We design and host a range of creative offerings, including performances, art exhibitions, workshops, movement classes, and immersive experiences.

Online, we offer digital courses in gentle movement and guided creativity, practiced by a community of 50,000+ worldwide.

We also host a co-working membership for a small, curated community of five who share the space.

Hi! I’m Julia

Movement and creative expression have been my life-long teachers.

I began practicing gentle warmups and Tai Chi after needing to recover from 3 knee surgeries (all ACL tears) and a recent diagnosis of pre-arthritis in my hip.

I film short warmups on my terrace in Barcelona, and now thousands of us move together, every morning.

My story

From MINCA’s Community

“I came to MINCA without expectations and it became the thing I looked forward to the most in my weeks.”
“I found the conditions to create and be the most full version of myself.”
"MINCA has been worth more than all the self-help books. There's something about really diving deep that makes it 100% worth the time and money."
"Mind & body. Great combo! Love the experience of getting out of your head in a ludic way. Nice atmosphere to feel alive and expand my mind. Thank you!"
“MINCA has shown me how to use words, colors, and movement to find my natural and instinctive ways of expression.”
"The structure of MINCA's course makes you feel part of the whole and that led me to share bravely, to be vulnerable, and experiment."
"MINCA has been a safe and curious space for me. I've really enjoyed leaning into the unexpected and experiencing the process of it all."
"A refreshing and energizing take on the creative process and personal development. It combined art, somatic movement, and pointed discussions in a way that allowed me to understand my tensions in a meaningful way."
"MINCA helps you reconnect with a version of yourself less focused on expectations. My friend and I were looking for a way to disconnect from our stressful, hectic jobs and this did just that."
"MINCA is the perfect creative space for group experiences. Julia, the lead of the space, is a visionary person, full of energy and passion, and welcomes every person with respect and care."
"One of the best places in Barcelona to slow down and just experience creativity in its purest form. You'll meet the coolest people here that share the longing of creative expression."
"A place full of magic and color where you can be yourself and express the art style that best connects with your inner child. Thank you, Julia, for this wonderful project. 🫶🏼✨🎨🖌️🖼️💐"
