What we’re about
Formerly known as Munich Social Activities Meetup Group.
Purpose of This Group
This group exists to create intentional spaces for human presence, reflection, and inner movement.
Through my events, participants are invited to slow down, notice themselves more clearly, and encounter others without performance, pressure, or expectation.
The focus is not on fixing, healing, or producing emotional outcomes, but on offering conditions where insight, clarity, or connection may arise naturally — or not. Both are equally welcome.
Who Should Join
This group is for people who are curious about themselves and how they show up in connection with others. You do not need to be experienced in personal growth or self-reflection, only willing to take responsibility for your own pace, boundaries, and participation.
It is especially suited for those who value depth, presence, and thoughtful conversation over constant stimulation or emotional display.
Why Join
In a world that often rewards speed, explanation, and emotional intensity, this group offers something quieter:
- Structured spaces that respect choice, pacing, and silence
- Conversations and prompts designed to foster self-awareness without pressure to disclose
- Experiences that value self-regulation, reflection, and earned intimacy
- A setting where ambiguity, discomfort, and non-closure are tolerated rather than resolved
You may leave with insight, perspective, or simply a sense of steadiness. Nothing is demanded.
Who This Group Is Not For
This group may not be a good fit if you are looking for:
- Events where sharing personal stories is expected, rewarded, or escalated
- Spaces where participation is measured by how much or how deeply you disclose
- Formats where emotional expression is encouraged as a default or ideal
- High-intensity vulnerability, group processing, or cathartic release
- Social environments driven by constant interaction, stimulation, or reassurance
In earlier phases of my work, sharing was more central and often expected.
This is no longer the case.
Current events are designed to respect privacy, choice, and containment.
Silence, listening, and non-disclosure are fully valid forms of participation.
About Other Groups
You are welcome to join my other Meetup groups as well. Please note that I currently do not have the capacity to organise events in those groups. They remain open for future possibilities when time and energy allow:

Silvester - A Quiet Way to End the Year
Z'sam, Theresienstr. 63,, Munich, DEEvent Update – Silvester Gathering
This event has been cancelled due to an unexpected venue constraint beyond my control.
I want to share this openly, because the intention behind this evening mattered to me: to offer a quiet, meaningful alternative for those who didn’t want to welcome the new year through noise, alcohol, or obligation — but through presence and gentle connection.
While this particular gathering can’t take place as planned, the intention continues.
On 01.01.2026, I will be hosting Landing — A Calm Place to Be, Before the Year Begins, an early-evening gathering created in the same spirit: calm, grounded, and without pressure to perform or reflect.
If this resonates with you, you are warmly invited to join us.
Thank you for your understanding — and for being part of this community.

Silvester - A Quiet Way to End the Year
Not everyone wants to end the year with loud music, alcohol, and crowded parties.
This evening is for those who would rather spend New Year’s Eve peacefully, meaningfully, and in good company — without pressure to celebrate in a particular way.
Whether you’re spending this night alone, far from family, new to Munich, or simply craving something calmer and more grounded, you’re warmly invited.
This is not a party.
There will be no loud music, no drinking games, and no fireworks of our own. Instead, we create a calm, welcoming space to share food, conversation, and a gentle closing of the year.
How the evening will unfold
We begin at 8:30 pm.
Everyone is invited to bring a dish to share — homemade or store-bought, simple or special. We’ll eat together unhurriedly and ease into the evening with light conversation.
Later in the evening, with cups of Kinderpunsch in hand, I’ll offer a short, optional reflection moment. Sharing is entirely voluntary — listening is just as welcome.
At midnight, we’ll step outside together to mark the transition into the new year and watch the fireworks from a distance.
We’ll then say goodbye — simply and gratefully — and head home, having kept each other company through the turn of the year.
What this evening is — and isn’t
This evening is:
- calm, human, and welcoming
- lightly guided, not facilitated
- shared without obligation
This evening is not:
- a party
- a therapy session
- a space for heavy processing or fixing
Practicalities
- Doors open at 8:15 pm
- We start at 8:30 pm
- Held in English
- Please bring a dish to share
Contribution: €10 donation (cash only). All proceeds support room rental.
This evening also quietly reflects the direction my events will be taking in 2026 — more intentional, more spacious, and more inward-facing — while remaining warm and human.
If you’re looking for a gentle, meaningful way to end 2025, you’ll be very welcome here.

Landing - A Calm Place to Be, Before the Year Begins
Z'sam, Theresienstr. 63,, Munich, DELanding - A Calm Place to Be, Before the Year Begins
The first day of the year doesn’t need fireworks, resolutions, or forced optimism. Sometimes, what we need most is a soft landing.
This gathering is an early-evening space to arrive gently into the new year — especially for those who may be feeling tired, reflective, disconnected, or simply uninterested in starting January with noise and pressure.
We’ll spend time in light, unhurried conversations at tables, followed by a quiet segment to sit with a short reflection prompt, and then move into calm one-to-one exchanges. Sharing is always voluntary.
There is no agenda to fix, improve, or perform.
This is not about resolutions, productivity, or “starting strong.”
It is about arriving as you are.
What to expect
- A peaceful, grounded atmosphere
- Gentle, unforced conversations
- A short optional reflection prompt
- Space to leave feeling calmer than when you arrived
What this is not
- Not a party
- Not a networking event
- Not a workshop or group therapy session
- Not a place for loud energy, or dominating conversations
This evening quietly sets the tone for how my events will unfold in 2026 — slower, deeper, and more intentional — including The Foyer, After the Break, Be My Date — The Next Chapter, and the Interview Series: The Inner Journeys.
If you’re looking for a calm place to be before the year truly begins, you’re welcome here.
Contribution: €10 donation. All proceeds support room rental.

Foyer: Before We Go Deeper - Arrival
Z'sam, Theresienstr. 63,, Munich, DEFoyer: Before we go deeper - Arrival
A gentle space to arrive after the turn of the year — without pressure to connect, perform, or share more than you wish.
This evening is about slowing down, noticing where you are, and letting the body catch up before anything deeper begins.
It marks the beginning of a new rhythm.
For the later half of the past year, many of you have known my events as weekly icebreakers — spaces to meet, connect, and warm up socially. As I step into a new chapter in how I host and hold space, those icebreakers are gently graduating into something quieter, slower, and more intentional.
The Foyer: Before We Go Deeper is that transition space.
It is not a deep dive.
It is not a workshop.
It is not about performing connection.
It is an arrival.
A space to pause, to land, and to orient yourself inward before the year pulls you forward again.
What to expect
- A simple opening round: first name only, and one reflective prompt
- One intentional paired conversation, guided but unforced
- Quiet moments for individual reflection and integration
- A gentle closing to help you leave feeling grounded, not drained
There are no games, no pressure to impress, no expectation to share more than you wish. Titles, roles, professions, and life summaries stay outside the room. We meet here as humans.
Some people will come once.
Some may come more than once.
Each evening stands on its own.
This evening is also part of a broader arc unfolding in 2026:
After the Break — a deeper, more reflective experience for those who feel ready to go further. Be My Date: The Next Chapter, a guided experiential space for deep self-connection, and Interview Series: The Inner Journeys, intimate conversations with individuals whose inner transformations have shaped their outer lives.
You do not need to attend everything — each space stands on its own — but together, they form a coherent path for those who wish to explore more depth over time.
This event is for you if
- You want connection without performance
- You feel the need to slow down rather than stimulate
- You’re curious about depth, but not ready to plunge
This event may not be for you if
- You’re looking for high-energy networking
- You expect constant interaction or entertainment
- You prefer fast-paced, surface-level socialising
Contribution: €10 donation. All proceeds support room rental.

Foyer: Before We Go Deeper - Orientation
Z'sam, Theresienstr. 63,, Munich, DEFoyer: Before we go deeper - Orientation
An evening to pause, re-orient, and sense what wants attention before the year unfolds further.
This is not about fixing or pushing forward, but about listening — quietly — to where you are right now.
Some spaces help you arrive.
Others help you notice what’s already stirring.
This second Foyer evening builds gently on the first — not by adding more, but by inviting awareness.
If the earlier Foyer was about landing, this one is about orientation: noticing what you’re carrying, what feels unfinished, and what might be asking for more space in the weeks ahead.
The format remains intentionally simple and contained. What changes is the inner invitation.
What to expect
- A short opening round with one reflective question
- One intentional paired exchange
- Silent moments for integration and personal noticing
- A grounded closing
You won’t be asked to explain yourself.
You won’t be pushed to “share breakthroughs.”
This is not therapy — it’s a pause with structure.
Some participants will attend this as their first Foyer.
Others may be returning.
Both are equally welcome.
This evening is also part of a broader arc unfolding in 2026:
After the Break — a deeper, more reflective experience for those who feel ready to go further. Be My Date: The Next Chapter, a guided experiential space for deep self-connection, and Interview Series: The Inner Journeys, intimate conversations with individuals whose inner transformations have shaped their outer lives.
You do not need to attend everything — each space stands on its own — but together, they form a coherent path for those who wish to explore more depth over time.
This event is for you if
- You sense something inside you wants attention, but not urgency
- You value depth without emotional overwhelm
- You appreciate being held without being analysed
This event may not be for you if
- You want clear outcomes or action steps
- You’re seeking advice, fixes, or coaching
- You prefer extroverted, highly social formats
Contribution: €10 donation. All proceeds support room rental.
