Tours

Bonjour les francophones ! Je suis Laura, Française et guide touristique. Vous avez envie de découvrir le Berlin alternatif, appelé Kreuzberg 36, celui du **XIXe siècle**, des manifs, du multiculturalisme, des **squats** et de la gentrification ? C’est par ici ! A Kreuzberg, on ne dit jamais qu’on est Berlinois, mais plutôt Kreuzberger. Il est temps d’explorer cette identité mixte et paradoxale au cours d’une visite de lieux dynamiques et atypiques. **N'hésitez pas à vous réserver, il y a déjà des inscrits via le site [direction-berlin.com](https://direction-berlin.com/visites-guidees-berlin/#page-down) !** (et si vous ne venez plus, merci de vous désinscrire en avance) Au programme, une dizaine d’arrêts dont : **-Kottbusser Tor** **-Oranienplatz** **-Église Michael** **-Quartier culturel Bethanien** Vous pouvez aussi consulter mes autres itinéraires et le calendrier complet sur le site [Direction Berlin](https://direction-berlin.com/visites-guidees-berlin/#page-down). Point de rendez-vous : devant le restaurant Burgermeister à Kottbusser Tor. Horaire : 14h-16h Langue : français Prix : 20 euros à payer à la fin de la visite.

Viele Männer funktionieren gut. Im Job, in der Beziehung, im Alltag. Aber irgendwann kommt dieses Gefühl: Das hier bin nicht wirklich ich. Nicht unbedingt als großer Knall. Eher als leises Unbehagen. Das Gefühl, dass mehr in dir steckt, als du bisher gelebt hast, und du noch nie wirklich den Raum hattest, dieser Frage ehrlich nachzugehen. Genau dafür ist dieser Workshop. Du arbeitest in Übungen, die dir zeigen, was du über dich selbst bereits weißt, aber noch nicht siehst. Du sprichst mit anderen Männern, die sich dieselben Fragen stellen. Was du dabei entdeckst, lässt sich schwer in Worte fassen. Für Männer, die anfangen hinzuschauen. Die nicht mehr jeden unbequemen Gedanken wegdrücken wollen. Die bereit sind, sich selbst eine ehrliche Antwort zu geben. Du brauchst keine Vorerfahrung. Keine bestimmte Lebenssituation. Nur die Bereitschaft, für drei Stunden wirklich da zu sein. \-\-\- Das Event wird in Deutsch gehalten. \-\-\- **Praktische Infos** * **Ort:** HeileHaus e.V., Waldemarstraße 36, 10999 Berlin * **Uhrzeit:** 11:00 – 14:00 Uhr * **Dauer:** ca. 3 Stunden * **Eintritt:** 10 € (Barzahlung oder PayPal vor Ort) * **Teilnehmerzahl:** Plätze sind begrenzt. 6-14 Männer.

**😶‍🌫️ Working with Pain, challenging emotions & thoughts 🫣** *"Karma, or destiny, is an expression of a beneficial law: the universal trend towards balance, harmony and unity. At every moment, whatever happens now, is for the best. It may appear painful and ugly, a suffering bitter and meaningless, yet considering the past and the future it is for the best, as the only way out of a disastrous situation*." (Nisargadatta Maharaj) **"Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional" is a popular phrase. Most people on the spiritual path face at least at some point pain, challenging emotions and other potential obstacles. On the flip side, there are fascinating practices that focus on working with pain, other 'unpleasant' appearances as well as thoughts and regard them as highly valuable objects to develop insight and other qualities.** **Let’s share for an afternoon about Pain, thoughts, challenging emotions and potential obstacles, what they means for us and what their role may be on the spiritual journey.** *“If we give in to our habits of avoiding discomfort, we transform conscious pain (mostly emotional and psychological) into unconscious cramps. [...] We instinctively contract away from acute pain, but that ironically ensures chronic suffering. [...] Suffering is an inappropriate relationship to pain. And by reversing that relationship, we can relieve our suffering.”* (Andrew Holecek) 💫 **What this event offers for you:** - Guided Meditations for arriving, calming the mind and tuning into your intuition - Meeting people interested in spirituality (all levels) - Safe Space for sharing - non-hierarchical and non-judgemental - Opportunity to ask just about any question **👀 You may watch one or few of the following Videos for inspiration:** - Mingyur Rinpoche on Meditation with pain ([Youtube](https://youtu.be/f7NEiKkdwq8?is=jcVU-h5Mp1TpA_H7)) - Shinzen Young on Meditation with Pain ([Youtube](https://youtu.be/5IU6UbRbJvQ?is=OBEhyU-QVGon1uWl)) - Testimonial of a Student of Shinzen Young on an experience of meditating with pain ([Youtube](https://youtu.be/MBI3CRqiSAo?is=tvfB9NUtU8xh9jmu)) - Andrew Holoczek on Reverse Meditation on the Sounds True Podcast ([Youtube](https://youtu.be/_WPP5GL-3-0?is=O4xOxLUnnrf4EDuE)) **About the Organizer** Martin is a certified Mindfulness Teacher, Systemic Coach, Yogi and Altruist by heart who teaches Meditation and Martial Arts in different formats. However, in this meetup Martin focuses on the altruistic intention to open a space for people to share while offering as much facilitation as needed in the moment. "*A personal problem cannot be solved on its own level. The very desire to live is the messenger of death, as the longing to be happy is the outline of sorrow. The world is an ocean of pain and fear, of anxiety and despair. Pleasures are like the fishes, few and swift, rarely come, quickly* *gone. A man of low intelligence believes, against all evidence, that he is an exception and that the world owes him happiness. But the world cannot give what it does not have; unreal to the core, it is of no use for real happiness. It cannot be otherwise. We seek the real because we are unhappy with the unreal. Happiness is our real nature and we shall never rest until we find it. But rarely we know where to seek it. Once you have understood that the world is but a mistaken view of reality, and is not what it appears* *to be, you are free of its obsessions. Only what is compatible with your real being can make you happy and the world, as you perceive it, is its outright denial. Keep very quiet and watch what comes to the surface of the mind. Reject the known, welcome the so far unknown and reject it in its turn."* (Nisargadatta Maharaj)

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
