🌌 Meditate, Stars, Fresh Air, Philosophical Talk & Beer — South Mountain

Dear all,

When the stars begin to shimmer in the sky, it's time to gently close our eyes, listen to the wind, breathe in fresh air, and allow your mind to wander into the quiet spaces we rarely touch in daily life.

Life is a continuous adventure—not only about where we travel in the world, but also about where we allow our hearts and thoughts to journey.

On this early summer evening, we warmly invite you to a short retreat: a meditation, a poetic pause, a space held gently by nature and kindred souls.

We’ll gather near the English Garden and walk together to find a peaceful spot to sit, breathe, and reflect. After meditating, we’ll open up space for sharing and conversation.

When: 19:30
Where: In front of Cafe Lehel, Liebigstr. 10A München
What to bring: Something to sit on (a mat or blanket), bring a beer if you wanna drink
Community whatsapp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LCOjg8CDVQhG4g7MQou99b
Fee: Free, non-commercial event

We’ll begin with a simple, grounding meditation. Then we’ll hold space for reflective conversation, you can choose topics below or use your own topic:

– What arises in me when I sit in silence?
– What does it mean to live fully?
– What part of myself have I been neglecting?
– In what ways have I changed in the last year?
– What fears hold us back?
– A book, a poet, a movie
.....

Looking forward to sharing this evening with you.

About South Mountain

Are you captivated by the allure of “South Mountain,” a symbol of enchanting destinations?
South Mountain holds threefold meaning: it is a poetic symbol of the places we long to go; it represents the courage to climb the steepest parts of the mountain; and it embodies a community of warm, caring friends who will accompany you on both beautiful and bumpy roads.
We created this community to offer a space for those seeking such moments:
Pausing to sit and breathe in the freshness of trees, earth, and flowers during a vivid hike
Sipping tea and feeling the wind on our faces
Reflecting together on the philosophy of life
...
With inspiration from Henry David Thoreau:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary.

I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms…”
