Hike and Reflect

Hi everyone 👋🥾 Our next Hike & Reflect is happening on 28 November 2026! Annabell and I are really looking forward to spending the day hiking, reflecting and connecting with you. 🌿 What is Hike & Reflect? This is not just a nature walk. Annabell and I are both certified systemic coaches, and throughout the hike we’ll bring in reflection questions, conversation prompts and a few simple exercises. The idea is to create space to learn more about yourself, hear different perspectives and connect with other people on a deeper level. We’ll explore topics through conversations in pairs or small groups, practise listening to each other and also have moments of quiet walking and simply enjoying nature. Nothing is mandatory. Everything we offer is an invitation. But the experience works best if you come with some openness, curiosity and willingness to engage. 💬 Come curious You’ll be talking to people you may never have met before, and some conversations may go a little deeper than the usual small talk. Some exercises might feel slightly unusual at first, and that’s completely fine. If you enjoy meeting new people, meaningful conversations, reflection, new perspectives and being outdoors, you’ll probably feel very much at home here. 🤝 🚆 Getting there We will meet at S-Bahn Grunewald station at 10:30. 📍 Meeting point We’ll start with a short check-in and introduction before setting off together. 🥾 The hike We’ll do a circular hike of approximately 12 km, starting and ending at S-Bahn Grunewald station. The pace will be relaxed, but you should be comfortable walking for several hours. Along the way, we’ll mix hiking with conversations, reflection exercises and some quieter sections. 🥪 Break We’ll take a break of around 45 minutes at the Grunewaldturm, where you can buy something to eat or drink and use the restroom. 🎒 What to bring Please bring enough water, some food, comfortable walking shoes and clothing suitable for the weather. Please assess your own fitness level and take care of yourself on the trail. Everyone participates at their own risk. 🏁 Finish We’re aiming to be back at S-Bahn Grunewald station station at around 15:30, where we’ll finish with a short check-out together. See you soon! Charly & Annabell

[17K] Borgsdorf to Basdorf via Summter See

**When**: Sunday 15th of November **Start**: Borgsdorf (S) at 10:50 **End**: Basdorf (Bhf) **Tickets**: Deutschland Ticket (or 2 x ABC) This weekend a new route with quite a few new sections, but also a few old friends like the Briese, Summter See and Mühlenbecker See. We start from Borgsdorf which you can reach with the S1 coming from Berlin, or perhaps from Oranienburg. There is a dipping option in the Briesesee (extra cold), or Summter See (normal cold). So bring your swim stuff if that's your thing. There are most likely not many options for fetching food or drinks along the way, so get your coffee fix in Berlin, for example in Bornholmer (S) when switching to the S1 and bring enough to eat/drink/snack for during the day! Hope to see y'all on Sunday!

MINDFUL HIKE & MEDITATION: The Stoic Stroll Vol. 2

**AMOR FATI** invites you to *The Stoic Stroll Vol. 2: The View From Above* \- a morning rooted in the Stoic practice of reframing perspective through movement and nature\. Inspired by the practice of *Sympatheia*, this stroll invites us to step back from micro-stressors, observe our place within the larger landscape, and cultivate mental clarity high above the city canopy. Rather than a high-performance trek, this is a non-competitive, synchronized 7K hike focused on the cultivation of mental clarity and shared rhythm. We walk together through the forest paths of Grunewald, pacing ourselves to the collective energy of the group, before transitioning into quiet stillness and guided meditation at the summit of Drachenberg. Afterwards we'll enjoy warm drinks and open conversation. **THE VIBE** Grounding, expansive, and intentional. An organic flow state followed by stillness and open conversation. **THE DETAILS** 📅 **When:** Saturday 21 Nov at 10:00 📍 **Where:** S-Bahnhof Grunewald (Meet outside near the Gleis 7 exit area) 🗺️ **Route:** A scenic \~7 km loop through Grunewald forest and up Drachenberg, ending back near the S-Bahn 🥾 **Pace:** Conversational, relaxed walking pace (no one is left behind) 💸 **Price:** Free 🎒 **What to bring:** Sturdy walking shoes or trail runners, comfortable layers, a water bottle, and a friend who appreciates deep conversations and mindful movement. ☝️ **Please note:** There is no bag check, so bring only a lightweight daypack with what you can comfortably carry. **THE FLOW** * **10:00** \- Meetup & Warm Welcome * **10:15** \- Synchronized Forest Stroll \(\~4\.5 km walk\) * **11:00** \- Guided Summit Meditation & Perspective Pause on Drachenberg * **11:25** \- Forest Descent & Return Loop \(\~2\.5 km\) * **12:00** \- Optional Warm Drinks & Open Connection **CAN’T MAKE THIS ONE?** There’s so much more going on.

Afternoon Walk+Coffee in Berlin: Sonnenallee/Treptower/Kreuzberg👣🚶🚶‍♀️☀️🥐☕🍪

1 EURO DONATION FEE PER PERSON IS REQUIRED (on site, in cash), to pay back the Meetup subscription fees and support my Events. READ THE DESCRIPTION WITH THE INFO (IMPORTANT). WHATSAPP LINK BELOW 📳​ We take a walk in Berlin to meet new people or people we already know 😁 It's a way to spend a few hours together on a Sunday afternoon. **How it works?** The concept is very simple: * We meet at Sonnenallee Station at 14,15 o'clock (we use the Whatsapp Chat to find each other: I will post there my exact location outside the station) * I wait for people for 10 minutes, till 14,25, then we start to walk direction Treptower Park, crossing the park 🌳🌳🌳 and going along the Spree river, to then go further * We go on along the Landwehrkanal, exploring Kreuzberg 🏠 * The total length of the walk is about 8kms * We land finally here to take coffee, a drink, or some food, and spend more time together ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/RsUCxwDKK6yVtiF48](https://maps.app.goo.gl/RsUCxwDKK6yVtiF48)) I consider that the event will last in overall around 4 hours (2 hours of walk 🚶🚶‍♀️ and 2 hours at the Cafe/Restaurant), but people are free to stay together longer, if they want 🙂 What I provide is leading the walk and the people at the Cafe, but I do not force anyone to stay shorter or longer. I do not provide a "personal support" for people who arrive after 14,25 (do not write to me expecting "private support"). You are responsible to check for the weather and decide if come or not. Thanks for understanding. If you have to contact me, make it via Whatsapp, not here on Meetup. WHATSAPP GROUP 💬 to find each other (join it, we use this group to find and synchronize us) [https://docs.google.com/document/d/157uLVXObKt1a4NqqvPa09NJW-050YBwHLW-7DbOD8R8/](https://docs.google.com/document/d/157uLVXObKt1a4NqqvPa09NJW-050YBwHLW-7DbOD8R8/)
