Meet like-minded people, get authentic meditation instructions and hang out in our beautiful Buddhist meditation center in the west of Berlin! The practice of meditation is a simple, yet profound practice that helps us to connect with ourselves and gives us tools to release experiences of distraction, agitation, and stress. In the Buddhist tradition, meditation is more than just a way to end the mind´s distraction - it is what helps us to bring our mind home to its true nature. What better way to experience the colourful facets of meditation than with a group of like-minded people? Hence our open meditation sessions always have a social element as well - we like to have a tea and share about our meditation experiences, or whatever else we want to explore. There is also always the chance to ask questions to our experienced meditation instructors. These sessions are held in English and open to everyone - complete beginners as well as those with more experience. The sessions are every week on Friday at 17:00-18:30.

Der Monat Stier kommt mit einem Geschenk: die Heilenergie - ein Licht, das uns hilft, die Höhen der Spiritualität, der Weisheit und des Wohlbefindens zu erreichen. Wie Rav Berg sagte: "Stier ist der Monat, in dem wir das Wissen und die Energie der Heilung anzapfen können. Was dunkel war, kann nun als Licht wieder erscheinen." Der kabbalistische Kalender basiert auf den Zyklen des Mondes, wobei jeder Monat auf unterschiedliche Weise auf uns einwirkt. Die New Moon Connection bietet uns die Möglichkeit, unser Bewusstsein für den Einfluss der einzelnen astrologischen Zeichen auf unser Leben zu vertiefen. Wir erlernen spezielle Meditationen, die uns dabei helfen, die Energie des Monats zu nutzen, um bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen, damit wir von einem Monat mit größerer Harmonie und Erfüllung profitieren. * **8:00pm** Kabbalat Shabbat Connection * **8:30pm** Cocktails & Consciousness: Sushi and wine will be served\* *Registration closes Thursday, 16 April at 12pm* Ticket-Preis: 42 Euro [Registriere dich hier!](https://onehouse.kabbalah.com/de/events/neumond_stier_17apr26-1775568785934321/tickets/)

This is a **shuffle**/**cutting shapes** class for **beginner** and **intermediate** shufflers where we'll be learning a **choreo** and practise it to various speeds. **This time, we're gonna learn the second part of the choreo that we started last time. You won't need the first part - we'll work on the second part only and then combine them at my next class at the beginning of May. However, you can already learn/refresh the first part with the help of the videos in our telegram channel - link at the bottom of this post!** **What you need to bring with you:** **Shoes**: If you'd prefer not to shuffle in socks, please bring a pair of dedicated clean athletic shoes with white soles. **Water**: because Shuffling is like an intense cardio workout :) **Fee**: 10€ (in cash or paypal **after** the event) to cover the cost of the rent, because we're not doing it for profit.

What will happen: **Beginner shufflers** will get the chance to learn some basic steps and practice them stress-free in a short choreo. **Intermediate shufflers** will learn to vary these basic steps with additional leg and arm movements, learn to combine them in new ways, keep practicing their foundations, and try to integrate the new combos into their freestyle. Teacher: Ina P.S. You're welcome to join our Telegram group where we share choreos, combos, music, etc. https://t.me/joinchat/73TM5UceauA5YmQy P.P.S. Classes at Milastr. 4 take place every Friday!
