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 Blindfold Walk: Let go of sight. Find out what's left.
Schloss Nymphenburg, Schloss Nymphenburg 1, München, DEWhat version of you shows up when you can't see - more alert? More present? Will you listen differently, feel differently?
This is a blindfold walk through Nymphenburg Park — done in pairs, taking turns to lead and to be led. For 10 minutes you wear the blindfold. For 10 minutes you are the guide. Then you find a new partner and do it again.
How it works
We pair up with someone we don't know. One person wears the blindfold, the other guides — slowly, attentively, describing what's ahead. After 10 minutes, you switch. Then you find a new partner and go again. Two rounds are guaranteed, three if time allows.As the guide, your job is care — you are responsible for this person's safety and their experience. As the walker, your job is trust — notice what comes up when sight is no longer available to you.
At the end of the walk, we gather for a closing circle — a short, moderated conversation before we go our separate ways.
What to bring
- Your own sleep mask or blindfold — please don't forget this, it's essential
- Comfortable flat shoes
- Weather-appropriate clothing
- Something to drink
Schedule
- Meeting point: Schloss Nymphenburg main entrance gate, Einfahrt Nymphenburg, 80638 München
- Arrive by 12:00 — briefing begins at 12:05 sharp, we do not wait
- Closing circle: ~13:15
- Done by 13:30
If you have vertigo, anxiety around loss of sight, or any condition that makes being blindfolded uncomfortable — you are welcome to come as a guide only. Just let me know in advance.

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. Join one or join many — each walk stands on its own.

Icebreaker #42 - 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.
Practical notes
- Doors open at 6:15 PM
- The event starts on time
- The event is held in English
