Welcome! This meetup is for neurodivergent people (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, OCD, etc.) who are learning German and want a low-pressure, structured space to practice speaking. **Logistics:** * 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/5weyJLA7EPgscxPY7 (Gleisdreieck Park near Tor Eins cafe) * 🎧 Bring sensory management tools (headphones, stim toys, sunglasses, etc) * A blanket or towel to sit on * Water and a snack * (Optional) A notebook if you like writing things down **How it works:** 🗣️ **Level-based small groups** When we start, we’ll quickly split into groups based on your self-assessed level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2). → **Max. 4 people per group** to keep sensory load low and speaking time fair. ⏲️ **Organizers group check** The organizers will come around from time to time to each group and ask if you want to stay in your current group or move to a different level—either higher or lower— or if you’d like to talk in different group. We’ll help you move. No pressure. No questions asked. 🚫 No pressure to speak every round. Just listening is fine. 🃏 **Conversation cards & prompts** Each group gets a set of prompt cards (simple questions, situational tasks, or grammar challenges appropriate for that level). You can follow the cards or go off-script — whatever feels right that moment. Let’s practice German in a way that actually works for our brains. ✨

We’re building a community of readers and creators who value depth, presence, and shared silence. The reading and creating isn't the real highlight, though, it’s in the people who return and make it feel like a familiar room. (Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.) Our Meeting Point is the **W66 Café**. There’s no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the café and don’t bring outside food or drinks 🙂 No assignments, expectations, or pressure. Just a shared hour of intentional silence, followed by the opportunity for good conversation. 🕰 Our Agenda **10:30 – 11:00** Arrivals, ordering drinks/food, light social time **11:00 – 12:00** The Great Quiet Hour (Read.

**If you’re facing a problem and nothing seems to be working, if thinking, analysing and discussing the issue only gets you so far, and if you really don’t know what to do next, there is another way to ask for help.** In this event, you will learn how to directly reach out to the spirit world in non-ordinary reality, not only to gain guidance and clarity, but to receive direct support for real-life challenges. This is not about reflection or inner storytelling, **it’s about making contact beyond the ordinary and receiving help from spiritual allies.** Led by Isabel, a shamanic practitioner with over 20 years of experience, you will be guided step by step into a **focused trance state using rhythmic drumming.** From there, you will learn how to navigate non-ordinary reality, and request support from your spirit guides. This work is entirely substance-free. The trance state is induced through fast drumming, allowing you to access expanded perception in a grounded and conscious way. **You will:** * Learn how to enter a shamanic trance without substances * Experience drum-supported journeying into non-ordinary reality * Connect with helping spirits and allies * Ask for help and guidance on a personal issue and receive direct insight This workshop is for those who are ready to go beyond the limits of the rational mind and engage with the spirit world in a practical and focused way. **What participants said about previous events:** 🗣️: *"It was my first Shamanic journey and I can’t give enough credit to Isabel with her effortless professionalism for making the experience both accessible and deeply nourishing. Thank you so much, I’m looking forward to repeating this!"* 🗣️: *"The guided trance session with Isabel was beautifully led and deeply moving. Without any prior knowledge, I gained astonishingly clear insights into my subconscious. I felt safe and well looked after throughout, and I’ve taken a lot away with me. I highly recommend it."* **💌 RSVP on Meetup does not secure your seat!** **Please register via Whatsapp/Telegram: +49 (0) 1573 72 48 15 7** or Email: [wildandsilent.berlin@gmail.com](http://wildandsilent.berlin@gmail.com%2A%2A/) **📍 Location: Samariter Kiez (you will receive the address after registration)** **💫 Energy Exchange: €30** **⏰ Doors open 2:45 PM.

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**
