The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

Nice! You are looking for real long time friendship! You might have already lived in Berlin or other big cities and experienced the "Anonymous" culture for a while. Meeting random people over and over and never see the same person again! In order to find "Real Long Term Friendship" in Berlin, do as follows: * You should not care how many people are joining this meetup. You RVSP. Even if only one person is joining. Because if everyone are waiting for everyone else to RVSP, nobody joins and nobody finds a new friend. * You do not care how many people of the opposite sex are joining. You are looking for friends. Finding the best romantic partner in the world, while avoiding not very attractive others, can be your other goal, for another time. Here we are looking for Friends. Real ones. * You are going to risk a very precious property of yours: Your time! Yes, there are thousands of opportunities in Berlin, there might be a rock concert for free, a birthday party you might miss, an important person might call you and invite you spontaneously, but you never find new friends until you decide to risk your time and meet people anyway. "I will check my calendar and get back to you" also does not work. Commit your time and spend it. Trust me, you won't go bankrupt ;-) * You are ready to use your phone as a real phone! You might have been using your phone as a tablet to visit Instagram and Facebook and watch movies. But if you want to find friends, you must know that people might take your phone number and give you theirs. That means they will Call you! And you have to pick up the phone and answer it. If you want to find new friends, you must be ready to do something really hard for the first time after years: Call people first, and if they called you: Answer your phone! * You are going to meet some people twice! That's the point of friendship. We already can experience random encounters with random people in random places one at a time. But that is not called friendship. If you want friends, you must be ready to meet the same person more than once. If you agree with above, RVSP and COME! You will meet other people who think the same way. P.S: Now that you've read all the way down to here, I suggest you [watch this animation](https://player.vimeo.com/video/547249272?h=22f3dd0f6f).

IF THE EVENT IS FULL, PLEASE USE THE LINK BELOW TO SIGN UP Ready to meet people who value depth, presence, and real connection? It starts here. 👉 Join us: [https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Passcode: 978508 Doors close 3 minutes after we begin — to support safety and full presence. ### What to Expect If you're tired of small talk, dating apps, or social spaces that feel disconnected — you're not alone. In just 30 minutes, you’ll experience how our Connection Games create a different kind of space: grounded, spacious, playful, and real. This is not a drop-in or matchmaking event. It’s a slow, intentional process of meeting people who care about conscious relating, emotional awareness, and nervous system-regulated connection. After completing a Welcome Call, you’ll be invited to join our events in the city you are based or locations you visit regularly (more than 20+ locations worldwide). ### What You’ll Walk Away With Presence & Ease No performance. No pressure. Just being yourself — and meeting others doing the same. Friendships That Matter Many walk away with deep, lasting friendships. Sometimes romance unfolds. That said, the focus is on connection — and growth. Relational Skills That Stay With You Our games and practices support self-awareness, curiosity, and co-regulation — tools you can bring into conversations anywhere: dates, friendships, even family dinners. ### How to Join Everyone starts with a Welcome Call — unless personally invited by one of our members. This helps us create intentional, safe, and aligned spaces. 📍 Join the call: [Click here to join](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Zoom link will be emailed. Can’t find it? Search: connect@consciousconnectionsclub.com ### Upon Completing Your Call, You'll Get: * Access to RSVP for our facilitated singles events * 25% off your first ticket (when eligible) * The chance to meet people in your city who match your values ### This Is For You If: * You’re craving more realness, laughter, and depth * You’re new in town, navigating change, or done with modern dating fatigue * You value personal growth, mindfulness, and authentic connection * You’re curious about yourself and others Some people leave the call thinking: “Where have you all been my whole life?” Others realize it’s not their scene — and that’s perfect too. ### Already Know This Is Your Scene? Or just want to put your name down for your city? 👉 [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) (You’ll still need to attend a Welcome Call before joining any event.) *** ### Clarifying Meetup Numbers Numbers shown on Meetup ≠ actual attendees. Everyone you’ll meet has completed a Welcome Call or been invited by one of our members — so the space starts aligned, safe, and meaningful. ### A Quick Note on Privacy Your info stays with us. We never sell or share your data — it’s only used to support your experience and help you connect with aligned people. This isn’t about trying harder. It’s about slowing down, showing up, and letting real connection happen. We’d love to meet you. [Join the Welcome Call.](http://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)

**A winter walk, guided by Germany's first certified matchmaker, through one of the most beautiful Christmas markets to reflect on dating, connection, and expectations in Berlin.** The days between Christmas and New Year often feel unusually quiet in Berlin. This Winter Walk is an invitation to get outside, slow down, and connect. Spaces are limited to ensure a high-quality experience. Charlottenburg Palace was originally built in the late 17th century, commissioned as a place for conversation and culture, and hosts one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany: a fitting backdrop for us to get together! **What to expect** * A relaxed, slow-pace winter walk in a small cosy group * Learn more about the beautiful palace and its place in Berlin history * Thoughtful, expert-led conversation about relationships, expectations, and the unique dating scene in Berlin * Space to ask questions and share reflections, guided by a professional matchmaker * No pressure to flirt or "speed date", but guided prompts will be available if things get quiet * A short, tailored guide shared after the event, to continue the reflection on your own *This is not just another dating event, but it is geared towards open-minded singles!* **About your host** The walk is hosted by Alysia Tofflemire, Germany's first certified matchmaker and the founder of [Alto Matchmaking](https://www.altomatchmaking.com/discover). Alysia has lived in Berlin for nearly 20 years and works with internationally-minded singles across Europe. Her work focuses on values, clarity, and genuine connections.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
