Foraging Walks Berlin

Human City Walk - Boxhagener Kiez - slow walk, local stories, no networking

Wir laufen gemeinsam durch den Kiez — mit offenen Augen für die Menschen um uns. Wir lassen handgeschriebene Danke und kleine Geschenke da, helfen spontan und machen jemandem den Tag ein bisschen heller. Unterwegs teilen wir Lieblingsorte und die Geschichten dahinter. Danach Kaffee — wer mag. Dies ist explizit kein Networking Event. Es gibt keine Pitches, keine Visitenkarten und keinen Grund, beeindruckend zu sein. Es ist auch kein spirituelles Event. Es geht darum, Positivität zu verbreiten, einfach mal Danke zu sagen, Geschichten zu teilen und die Stadt mit offenen Augen zu sehen. Magst du, bring ein kleines Geschenk für die Menschen mit, die den Kiez am Laufen halten. Irgendwas kleines. Musst du aber nicht. Oder, bring einen Lieblingsort im Kiez mit – und die Geschichte, die du damit verbindest. Musst du aber auch nicht. Die Plätze sind bewusst begrenzt, damit es ein Spaziergang bleibt.

Mindful walking – achtsame Gehmeditation im Grunewald

Wir erkunden das Hier und Jetzt in der Natur, werden uns unserer Emotionen, unseres Körpers und unseres Denkens bewusst. Wir wenden uns nach innen und entdecken die Kraft des jetzigen Augenblicks.

We explore the here and now in nature, becoming aware of our emotions, our bodies and our thoughts. We turn inwards and discover the power of the present moment.

It is recommended that you bring something to drink before the meeting and a small bottle of water if needed. Please wear warm, comfortable clothing and sturdy footwear. The intention is to walk in all weathers and the event will only be cancelled in extreme circumstances. This is a fundraising event.

Harz Day Trip: Devil's Wall and Witches Mountain

*Journey to the Harz Mountain region, hike along some of the most impressive rock formations, and walk through the magical woodlands, which, according to mythology, are the home of witches and the devil.* Hike Distance: 15km Difficulty: Intermediate Starting in the historical town and UNESCO World Heritage site Quedlinburg, the 15km hikes along the riverfront, alongside the impressive Teufelsmauer (Devil's Wall) - a bizarre, jagged, 20-kilometer-long rock formation - and to the centre of the region, Thale. At Thale, we will scale the local mountain with a cable car and descend on foot through the haunted forests. The Harz region can be reached daily using the Harz Express, a direct train that takes us to and from the region. From here, we will take a steady-paced hike through the region, engaging in nature and looking at the region's beauty. Hiking from Quedlinburg to Thale along the Teufelsmauer (Devil's Wall) is one of the most rewarding point-to-point hikes in the Harz foothills, as it perfectly pairs Quedlinburg's fairy-tale streets with Thale's rugged gorge scenery, using the most spectacular, dramatic stretch of the ancient sandstone ridge as its highway. The final stretch of the hike takes us down the Hexenstieg, a route famed for its witch monuments, history, and legacy, made famous by the Brothers Grimm. The trip will be led by Lonely Planet author and local beer and wine tour guide Daniel Cole. Tickets must be reserved here: https://www.eventbrite.de/e/day-hiking-at-harz-mountains-bodetal-valley-tickets-1993825664234?aff=oddtdtcreator

Psychedelic Forest Hike

Hey Psychedelic Fans! This time we're going for a different, more active format. Few things belong together like psychedelics and nature — so this month we're wandering into the Grunewald. We meet at **11:00 at S Grunewald** and head into the woods together — we set off at 11:15 sharp. Picnic break in the shade around lunchtime, then down to the Havel, where the meetup ends around 16:00. The goal is to reconnect with the earth under our feet, the air that we breathe and all the beings we share it with. Bring drinks, snacks, something to sit on (the forest floor is very sandy) and whatever else you need.
