About us
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:

The Long Game: Investing in Yourself - An Evening of Conversation & Exchange
We talk a lot about investing — but rarely about the full picture. The gym membership you finally committed to. The course that changed how you think. The financial bet that paid off, or didn't. The habit you've been quietly building for years.
Let's come together to share, exchange, and inspire each other. No presentations. No pitches. Just honest conversation about the choices we make for ourselves — physical, financial, personal, professional, creative — and what we've learned from them.
How it works
We start with introductions — who you are, what you do, where you're at in life. From there, we open up the table: what you've tried, what's worked, what hasn't, and what you're still figuring out. There will be prompt cards on the table to keep things moving if we need a nudge. The rest is up to us.
Come if you're:
- Curious about how others invest in themselves
- Looking for inspiration on what to explore next
- Ready to share something real — a win, a failure, or a work in progress
What to bring
One story. One question you haven't found the answer to yet.
Contribution: €10 donation, cash or PayPal, upon arrival. All proceeds support room rental.
Practical notes
- Doors open at 6:15 PM
- The event starts on time
- The event is held in English
Please arrive early enough to settle in.
Photography
Photos may be taken during the event for documentation and community sharing (event page). If you prefer not to be photographed, please inform me before the event begins. This will be fully respected.
Community & event etiquette
This space works best when everyone who signs up shows up. Please be mindful when you RSVP — your spot could mean a lot to someone who is keen to join. If your plans change, please update your RSVP at least 12 hours before. Last-minute cancellations (under 6 hours) are noted as no-shows, which may affect future sign-ups. If something unexpected comes up, just drop me a message.
Boundaries
This is not a space for promoting or selling products or services. Participants who do so will be asked to leave and removed from the group.
These boundaries are in place to protect the quality, safety, and integrity of the experience.
By attending, you agree to respect both the structure of the event and the experience of others.

The Barefoot Walk: Step out of your shoes, step into yourself.
Luitpoldpark, München, DEThere's something that happens when you take your shoes off and let your feet meet the earth. Your pace slows. Your attention drops downward. Something in the nervous system quietly settles.
This is a barefoot walk through Luitpoldpark — intentional, unhurried, and grounded in the most literal sense. We'll walk together across open grass, feet on earth, for around 40 minutes. Just you, the ground beneath you, and whatever the walk brings up.
The conversation
Afterwards, we settle onto our picnic mats for a 60 minutes guided conversation, giving us a chance to sit with what our body just experienced, and to explore together what it means to feel genuinely at home in yourself.We'll touch on what the walk stirred up: sensations, thoughts, resistance, unexpected ease. And we'll connect that back to the bigger question of how we want to inhabit our lives — not just for today, but for the long run.
What to bring
👟 Shoes you can slip on and off easily
🧻 Wet wipes or a small towel to clean your feet afterwards
💧 Water or a drink to rehydrate
🧺 A picnic mat or towel to sit on
🥨 A snack or Brotzeit for the picnic sessionPlease walk barefoot only if it feels right for your body. If you have any foot conditions, circulatory issues, or sensitivities, feel free to keep your shoes on — you're equally welcome.
Practical details
- Walk begins at 14:00 — please arrive by 13:45
- If it still rains after the walk, we'll move our conversation inside to Bamberger Haus, right at the park entrance
- The event is held in English.
Weather Policy
- Walk takes place in most conditions
- If it rains, it's even better. Walking barefoot on wet grass is the closest most of us will get to that feeling of stepping onto morning dew — cool, alive, and oddly clarifying. Rain doesn't diminish the experience. For many, it deepens it.
- Cancelled only in heavy rain or snowstorm
- Updates will be posted the day before and/or morning of the event in the comment section
Event fees: Free to join. If the experience was valuable, a contribution via PayPal of whatever feels right is welcome.

This event is part of the Coming Home Walking Series — four distinct walks, one for each Sunday of the month, each with its own intention and format. Together they form a practice: of moving with awareness, of showing up for your body, and of building genuine connection with others who take that seriously. Whether you join one or all four, you're part of something ongoing.
→ The series includes: The Brisk Walk · The Longevity Walk · The Barefoot Walk · The Backwards Walk

The Longevity Walk: Move with intention, live with depth.
Odeonsplatz (in front of Tambosi), Odeonsplatz 18, Munich, DEThere's a version of you that thinks more clearly after 20 minutes of walking. That breathes differently. That knows things your sitting-self doesn't.
This is a 5.1km, approximately 70-minute intentional walk — paced for presence, not performance. We move together through English Garden, but this isn't a group exercise class. You're invited to arrive as you are, walk at a pace that feels alive, and notice what comes up when your body is finally in motion.
After the walk, we settle on the grass for our 30–45 minute reflection conversation — what did your body just tell you, and what does it have to do with how you're living?
We'll explore what it means to move for longevity — not to optimise, but to stay genuinely connected to yourself over time.
What to expect
A walk. A pause. An honest conversation.
We start together, move at a brisk but comfortable pace, and close with a short moderated reflection — a rare chance to actually process what your body and mind just experienced, together with others who showed up for the same reason.Practical details
- Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather
- Bring a picnic mat or towel.
- Pack water or a drink to rehydrate, and a snack or Brotzeit for yourself.
- In the event of wet weather, we will go to the Chinese Tower beer garden.
- The walk is in English.

Icebreaker #37 - Meaningful Conversations
Z'sam, Theresienstr. 63,, Munich, DEPeople come to Icebreaker once out of curiosity. They come back because of a conversation they couldn't stop thinking about.
One of our most loved events, Icebreaker brings you into a small group of strangers for an evening of surprisingly deep conversation. The group stays together all night — no rotating, no rushing — so talks can go somewhere real. People regularly leave feeling lighter, energised, and a little amazed at what opened up.
The conversations are guided by over 300 prompt cards across 12 categories — designed to spark honesty, bring out your quirky side, and take you somewhere unexpected. Whether you end up in a philosophical debate or laughing about a shared memory you didn't know you had, the prompts have a way of making connection feel effortless.
Come as you are. Leave with something real.
A sneak peek on the prompts:
- What's your guilty pleasure?
- Would you rather be slightly late or super early?
- How did you meet your best friend?
- What do you regret not doing when you were younger?
- What's something you disagree with about the way you were raised?
- If you could switch places with your friends for a day, who would it be?
- What one accomplishment are you most proud of?
Contribution: €10 donation, cash or PayPal, upon arrival. All proceeds support room rental.
