Мы создаем комьюнити, где можно расслабиться, найти приятелей и просто хорошо провести время. Что вас ждет: ☕ Чай, кофе и вкусные угощения 🎲 Настольные игры, которые помогут легко начать разговор. ✨ Новые контакты и интересные идеи Приходить одному — абсолютно нормально, у нас так делает большинство. Мы встретим вас на входе, введем в компанию и позаботимся, чтобы никто не скучал в стороне. 📍 23.05 • 12:00 • Лихтенберг 💛 Donation от 10€ Для записи на «тусовку» пишите в личные сообщения

We’re building a community of readers and creators who value depth, presence, and shared silence. The reading and creating isn't the real highlight, though, it’s in the people who return and make it feel like a familiar room. (Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.) Our Meeting Point is the **W66 Café**. There’s no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the café and don’t bring outside food or drinks 🙂 No assignments, expectations, or pressure. Just a shared hour of intentional silence, followed by the opportunity for good conversation. 🕰 Our Agenda **10:30 – 11:00** Arrivals, ordering drinks/food, light social time **11:00 – 12:00** The Great Quiet Hour (Read.

**For couples that wish to bring a new level of depth and connection into their relationship.** Sign up via [sophieheldens.com](https://www.sophieheldens.com/berlin/tantra-weekend-workshop-for-couples/rise-in-love?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=riseinlove&utm_medium=eventpage) Rise in Love is a **two day Tantra weekend retreat for couples** in the city center of Berlin. It invites you into the experience of deeper love, understanding and communion with your partner. Explore yourself and each other in new ways, allow yourselves to be held and guided into deeper intimacy and immerse in an experience that may naturally flow into every aspect of your relationship. This is for every couple that longs to * Spend meaningful, uninterrupted time together with the sole purpose of truly connecting * Experience deeper intimacy on a physical, emotional and spiritual level * Invite more joy, playfulness, spontaneity and eros into your partnership * Strengthen your bond and feel more deeply alive and connected together * Feel whole and complete within yourself and in your relationship * Meet each other again with presence and authenticity * Explore new ways of being intimate together This Tantra couples immersion is a holistic initiation into Tantra for newcomers and offers a valuable deepening for more seasoned practitioners. Whether you’ve been together for years or are newly together - this weekend workshop is for any couple who want to **experience deeper intimacy, invite in more aliveness and meet themselves and the other more deeply.** #### What to expect: * Understand Tantra through discourse and experience it through practice * Well balanced program with a variety of partner practices (see below) * A curated journey designed to guide you deeper * A sensitively and lovingly held container * Cosy and comfortable studio * Small group with max. 5 other couples (**all** couples welcome!) #### Tools and practices that you’ll explore together * Eye-gazing: How often do you truly look into each other’s eyes? Such a simple practice opens the doorway to immense depth. Let yourself be seen and notice what arises in this connection. Learn about yourself through the reflection of your partner and experience deeper intimacy. * Movement: Explore new movements together- whether through dance, play or guided practice. Allowing your body to move freely and intuitively gives space for spontaneity and joy to arise. Thoughts quieten and presence enters. Welcome home to your body * Partner meditation; connect heart to heart and experience connection beyond words by cultivating open-hearted presence * Energy practices; through the use of sound, breath, movement and focussed awareness you will tap into your life-force, opening your central energy channel and allowing for a free flow of energy. This is the basis for full body pleasure and for cultivating your sexual energy. Practicing together with your partner allows for a connection on all levels of being. * Ritual; honour your connection, invoke sacredness and a profound sense of closeness through Tantric ritual. Ritual provides a framework that supports you to drop deeper into open-hearted presence. It has the potency to invite in sacredness into your relationship and to express and renew your love, appreciation and respect for one another. * Massage / sacred touch: Explore the quality and power of touch when it comes from a place of deep presence and reverence. Your touch communicates your internal state and with that affects the internal state of your partner. It is meant to unite on a physical and spiritual level. * Conscious communication: Learn new tools for communicating. Listening carefully and speaking vulnerably about what is actually alive within allows for deep intimacy. Invite your partner into your inner-experience and hold space for theirs. Though we tend to speak often, how often are we fully present in our conversations? * #### Who is this for? This is for every couple that wishes to bring a new level of depth and connection into their relationship - emotionally, physically and spiritually. It is for couples that are looking for new ways of being intimate and are open to growing individually and together. Previous Tantra or meditation experience is not required but ideally you bring some spiritual curiosity. Also for more seasoned Tantra practitioners, this 2-day Tantra workshop is likely to expand your current understanding and practice. #### How your day will look like The total practice time each day is about 7 hours, divided over 3 practice blocks. The schedule looks a little different for each day but here you’ll find an example of how your day will look like. #### Example schedule 10.45 - 11.00 arrival 11.00 - 12.45 opening and practice 12.45 - 13.00 short break 13.00 - 15.45 practice 15.45 - 17.00 long break 17.00 - 19.30 massage or ritual 19.30 - 20.00 closing *Please count with the possibility that we’ll go 30 minutes over time* #### What you’ll take away * A sense of aliveness, deeper love, understanding and connection * An energy transmission with the potency to flow into every aspect of your relationship * Tools and practices to integrate Tantra into your relationship * An understanding of the purpose and main practices of Tantra * A meaningful time spend together * Nourishment for the soul * #### Studio Located on the fifth floor of a quiet backyard building, Praxis Köpi offers a bright and peaceful setting—a perfect retreat for a weekend in both summer and winter. On hot summer days, we open the balcony door and the windows on the opposite side to let a continuous breeze flow through. In winter, it turns into a cozy haven.

We invite you to join our weekly Evenings of Meditation, to gently meet yourself, dissolve stress and live life from beautiful inner states, like calm, joy and connection. These gatherings are not just about meditating on your own, but a step inward we take together. Each time we’ll look into a particular topic in the light of timeless wisdom, reflect on it in a guided meditation, do powerful Oneness practices for greater wellbeing, and experience Deeksha - which helps to speed up your inner growth. For more info see: [www.onenessberlin.com](http://www.onenessberlin.com/) **This week's topic: Enjoying growth** Growth is something we naturally strive for in different aspects of life - career, experiences, relationships, health, wealth, friendships, and the impact we have on the world around us.

**Embodied Consent** mit **Karl-Henrik** für **LGBTIQA+** Kostenlos mit[ ](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w20-2026/)**[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w20-2026/)** **Lernen über Grenzen und Kommunikation** Wenn Sie noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen haben, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Dieser Workshop ist sehr zu empfehlen für alle, die unser Projekt regelmäßig besuchen oder an einem unserer Workshops teilnehmen möchten. Diese Erfahrung wird Ihnen nicht nur helfen, sich in der we.are.village-Community zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird Sie auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in Ihr Leben zu übertragen. Sich seiner Grenzen bewusst zu sein und sein Einverständnis oder Nicht-Einverständnis auszudrücken, sind wichtige Fähigkeiten im Leben, aber wir haben nicht oft die Gelegenheit, die Fähigkeit des Einverständnisses auf die gleiche Weise zu üben wie andere Fähigkeiten, wie Singen, Sport treiben oder eine Sprache lernen. Bei Consent geht es um viel mehr als ein einfaches Ja oder Nein. Wenn wir die Zustimmung dekonstruieren, entdecken wir, wie wir unsere wahren Wünsche kommunizieren können, und hören auf, Dinge zu wählen, die wir nicht wollen. Durch Diskussionen, Bewegung und Partnerspiele werden wir Werkzeuge entwickeln, um körperliche Wünsche auszudrücken und zu verhandeln und durch praktische Übungen Grenzen zu setzen. Dieser Workshop ist für Menschen aller Körpergrößen, Geschlechter und Hintergründe offen und einladend. Es handelt sich um einen nicht-sexuellen Workshop bei dem, ohne Druck, Kommunikation und Berührung geübt werden können. Es geht genauso darum, wirklich Ja zu sagen und es auch so zu meinen, wie es darum geht, Nein zu sagen! Wenn Sie noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen haben, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Diese Erfahrung wird Ihnen nicht nur helfen, sich in der we are village Community zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird Sie auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in Ihr Leben zu übertragen. Gemeinsam wollen wir eine auf Consent ausgerichtete Gemeinschaft mit gemeinsamen Werten aufbauen und dabei die Verantwortung des Einzelnen für die Einhaltung dieser Grundsätze betonen. Unser oberstes Ziel ist es, gesunde Beziehungen zu fördern und eine integrative Community für eine bessere, vernetzte Zukunft zu schaffen. 🔵 **Embodied Consent** with **Karl-Henrik** for **LGBTIQA+** Free **[Registration Required](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/embodied-consent/w20-2026)** **Learning about boundaries and communication**. If you have not yet attended a workshop on Consent in the Village, now is the time! This workshop is highly recommended for anyone wishing to visit our project on a regular basis, or to attend one of our workshops. This experience will not only help you navigate within the we.are.village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Being aware of your boundaries and expressing your consent or non-consent are essential skills in life, but we don’t often get a chance to actually practice consent skills in the same way we practice other skills, like singing, playing sports or learning a language. Consent is about much more than a simple yes or no. When we deconstruct consent, we discover how to communicate our true desires and stop choosing the things we actually don’t want. Through discussion, movement and partner games, we will build tools to express and negotiate physical desires and set boundaries through the use of practical exercises. This workshop is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all body sizes, genders, and background. This is a non-sexual workshop, and great, low pressure situation in which to practice communication and touching. It’s as much about how to truly say yes and mean it as it is about saying no! If you have not yet attended a workshop on Consent in the Village, now is the time! This experience will not only help you navigate within the we are village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Together, we aim to nurture a consent-centered community with shared values, emphasizing individual responsibility in upholding these principles. Our ultimate goal is to foster healthy relationships and create an inclusive community for a better, more connected future.

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
