About us
Formerly known as Munich Social Activities Meetup Group.
Purpose of this Group
Coming Home is a space for meaningful human connection, thoughtful conversations, and personal reflection.
Each event is intentionally designed to create an environment where people can slow down, connect authentically, and explore ideas, experiences, and perspectives without pressure to perform or have all the answers.
Some events are more social, others more reflective, but they all share the same intention: creating spaces where ordinary conversations become unexpectedly meaningful.
Who Should Join
This group is for anyone who enjoys conversations with substance, values genuine connection, or is curious about themselves and others.
You don't need experience with personal growth, coaching, or reflective practices. You only need a willingness to show up with openness and respect—for yourself and for those around you.
Whether you're new to Munich, looking to meet people differently, navigating a life transition, or simply seeking conversations beyond the usual small talk, you're welcome here.
Why Join
Life rarely gives us opportunities to pause and connect without needing to impress, perform, or already know the right answers.
Through thoughtfully designed conversations, reflective prompts, and meaningful one-to-one or small-group interactions, these events invite you to slow down, notice yourself, and connect with others in a more intentional way.
Rather than chasing quick emotional highs, we value conversations that stay with you long after the evening ends.
You may leave with a new perspective, a meaningful connection, something to reflect on—or simply the feeling that you spent an evening well.
Who This Group Is Not For
This group may not be the right fit if you are looking for experiences centred on quick fixes, constant stimulation, or having someone tell you what to think or do.
The events vary in format—from social walks and conversation evenings to more reflective gatherings—but they all share a common culture: curiosity over certainty, presence over performance, and dialogue over persuasion.
Everyone is encouraged to participate at their own pace. Some events invite more conversation, others more reflection, but you are never expected to share more than you genuinely wish to.
Other Groups
You're also welcome to join my other Meetup groups:
While these groups are quieter at the moment, I hope to gradually bring selected events back when the timing feels right. Joining now simply means you'll hear about them if and when new events are announced.
Not every conversation changes your life. But the right conversation, at the right time, can quietly change the way you live it.

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

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.
→ The series includes: The Social Walk · The Barefoot Walk · The Backwards Walk · The Blindfold Walk

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
