See & Discuss #01: Cattelan - Neue Nationalgalerie
Sun, Nov 1, 5:00 PMFor our first meetup, we’re diving into the world of Maurizio Cattelan at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie. Known for his provocative, often ironic works, Cattelan has a way of making us laugh, feel uncomfortable, question what we’re seeing — and sometimes wonder whether it’s art at all. Have you visited the exhibition? Let’s get together to share our impressions, exchange perspectives, and discuss what we think lies behind the work. We’ll kick things off with a few conversation prompts before settling into a relaxed, open discussion. Afterwards, we’ll continue over drinks and get to know each other. No art expertise required, no right or wrong answers — just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to share your thoughts. **Important**: Please visit the exhibition independently before the meetup. You don’t need to prepare anything — just come with your impressions! https://www.smb.museum/en/exhibitions/detail/maurizio-cattelan-night/ Let’s see what happens when we look at the same art through different eyes. ✨

After playing, you can join us for socials with drinks and snacks at the bar area. 🍻 🍕 We often play a social deduction game, which you're also welcome to join. 🕵️ We recommend arriving 10 minutes early so you have time to change and find the fields. If it is your first time, 15 minutes might be even better. You can join whatever court you like and move between courts during the event. We self-organize, so after a game, you can start a rematch, switch courts, or take a break as you see fit. Upon arrival, join the warm-up happening on one of the courts.

Tantric Date Night - Tantra workshop for couples
Fri, Nov 6, 6:00 PMWanting to connect deeper with your partner? Looking for new ways to be intimate? Hoping to foster love, awareness, and communication in your relationship? Take some quality time away from the daily grid and explore Tantra together through embodied practice. The practice is designed to foster deeper intimacy, attunement and harmony between the two of you. Tantra invites you to allow your life force energy to flow without inhibition and to cultivate it for self-realization. Part of the practice is about inviting in more opening. Openness creates union, resistance creates separation. Deep connection, more pleasure and joy are a result of experiencing more openness. Tantra is for everyone! All couples are welcome regardless of sexual orientation and experience level. Not in a romantic relationship? Feel free to bring anyone you'd like to practice Tantra with. **What to expect:** * **Discourse, demo practice and Q&A**: learn about Tantra through discourse, ask your questions * **Tantra meditation practice**: presence, movement, sound and breath * **Sharing before and after practice**: share about your fears and desires & reflect on your experience * **Cozy studio setting**: enjoy a comfortable and intimate environment * **No partner-exchange:** practice only with your partner * **Fully clothed:** you may keep your clothes on during the entire practice **What to bring:** * Wear comfortable clothing * Water bottle to stay hydrated **Tickets:** 55€ per person Please purchase your ticket via [sophieheldens.com](https://www.sophieheldens.com/tickets?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=datenight) **Location:** Praxis Köpi Köpenicker Straße 175 10997 Berlin Kreuzberg Walk to the second courtyard and take the stairs to the front door on the left. **Please note:** Praxis Köpi is located on the 5th floor and there is no elevator available. Only book a ticket if you can walk the stairs. The benefit: a beautiful private studio with loads of natural light. **!! Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time !!** Once we start the session, I can’t let you in anymore because it disturbs the class. Please do yourself and the group a favour by coming on time. Thank you! **Workshop facilitator** Hi! My name is Sophie. My passion for Tantra is rooted in a deep spiritual yearning and an inner knowing that Tantra is my path. My desire to teach Tantra has been sparked by having witnessed my own growth and healing as a result of these practices and it is inspired by a vision to create a more beautiful world. I create a space that is loving and nurturing, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that you feel save and supported. My workshops are gentle yet transformative, spiritual yet grounded and always heart-centered. I'm passionate about bridging the wisdom of ancient Tantra with modern-day practices.
