Artists

This special earth day edition of the mystery salon will dive into our understanding of and relationship to nature. Through a mixture of storytelling, discussion, and integration exercises we will be diving into the myths and legends that first governed indigenous beliefs around earth, elements and sacred nature- and how these have evolved over time into our modern experience. Covering topics that touch on the elements- and the power of nature, herbs, and sacred medicine- the focus of this salon is to examine our connection to nature, and how we may live back in balance again with nature. As a special bonus we will have a small sampling of refreshments available to experience a sensual and grounding journey of all the wonderful gifts the earth has to offer- as well as a tea bar at the end for you to make your own personal tea blend to bring home. We hope you leave this evening with a renewed connection & appreciation for the natural world around you. Door open at 7:00 pm, event starts at 7:30 pm. We will have light refreshments and drinks available for a small donation. This event is donation/contribution based to make it accessible for all. Recommended donation is 10-15 euros Please note meetup registration is capped at 10 participants- but we have room for more! To secure your spot please [pre-register here.](https://rausgegangen.de/en/events/mystery-salon-at-baumhaus-earth-elements-sacred-nature-0/) We recommend bringing a notebook or journal. We welcome perspectives and input of all kinds- whether you are a novice or expert- all levels are welcome- perhaps we can learn something from you? This salon is part of a special event series taking place at various location throughout Berlin. Every Wednesday in April we gather for intellectual discussion around a range of topics at the intersection of spirituality, science, and self-improvement. We can't wait to welcome you there!

Curious about starting life drawing? Or want to deepen your practice? Join us at Kunstraum Heartspace, where we enjoy a wonderful life drawing session every Wednesday evening! Our teacher Thorsten has many years of experience and will gently guide you to your next level. This course is designed for beginners as well as experienced life drawing artists. Our models change weekly. They allow us to practice short and long poses. This allows your eye to train in recognising movement and form, while also giving you enough time to study the model more closely. In addition, every week, we include a short excursion into different aspects of figurative drawing – be it anatomical issues, lighting, or the structure of the human figure. You can join and pause at any time, as you will receive individual guidance. **Materials:** * Please bring pencils, sharpeners, and erasers! * We provide paper, but of course, you can bring your own sketch book or preferred paper types. **Tickets:** * [Please book your ticket with this link on Ticket Tailor. ](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/kunstraumheartspace/1891935)

**[TICKETS FOR SALE ON EVENTBRITE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/finishing-tracks-with-biesmans-tickets-1986358765539)** Most producers don't have an unfinished track problem. They have a too-much-going-on problem. Too many elements, too many layers, too many decisions left unmade. The track loses its identity somewhere in the process. This workshop is about finding it again. **Biesmans** — Berlin-based producer and DJ with nearly 30 years in the house and techno scene — opens up his actual working process in real time. No slides, no theory, no tutorial. Just a real track getting meaningfully better in front of the room. **How it works:** Participants submit an unfinished track in advance. Biesmans selects one, preps it, and works on it live during the session — talking through every decision as he makes it. The rest of the time is open Q&A where participants can bring their own questions and challenges. **Format:** * Duration: 3 hours * Participants submit one track + one question before the workshop * Live session: 90–120 minutes * Open Q&A: 60 minutes * Wrap + next steps: 15 minutes

### **Fantastic Anatomy: Special Wednesday Class** For all of you who asked for this workshop on a different day (it happens regularly on Tuesdays) I added this special one-day Wednesday class :) In this workshop, we will explore and celebrate the human body in all its beautiful complexity — and then let our imagination transform it. Together, we will observe the body with curiosity and appreciation, and then reimagine it through colour and fantasy. This workshop is an invitation to experience the body not only as anatomy, but as a living, poetic vessel that carries us through life. In this class, we will explore bones, how to paint them and how to make some 'fantastic' connections. Using watercolour techniques that embrace fluidity and transparency, we’ll experiment with water, stains, textures, and layering. This class includes an amazing mini movement exercise to connect with and discover our body before we start painting it. (Surprise, surprise!) ✨ No previous painting experience needed. Gentle guidance provided throughout.

The Mindful Artist's Way is suitable for anyone who wants to write — without pressure, comparison, or the need for perfection. For anyone who wants to discover their own voice or reconnect with it. This workshop series treats your writing as a mindful and relationship-oriented process. Each session is an invitation to dive deeper into your own perception, voice, and creativity — without pressure to perform, without comparison, without right or wrong. The focus is on writing as a mindful practice: slow, embodied, and connected. Instead of technique, performance, or optimization, it’s about perception, inner security, and the relationship to your own voice. Each workshop is self-contained and at the same time part of a larger journey. Step by step, you are invited to build trust: in yourself, in your writing, and in the creative process. The series is inspired by the mindful and artistic approaches of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, but follows its own path: gentle, individual, and realistic. Get to know your writing as a partner rather than just a product. What to bring: All you need is your laptop or whatever else you want to write on. I have pens, paper, tea, and vegan cake for you. If you like, bring your headphones, because I’ve created an exclusive writing playlist for you. You can also book the **sessions individually (€15)** **[BOOK HERE](https://sarahniklowitz.de/the-mindful-artists-way/)** Sunday, 08.02.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Open the Door: Short Stories for Beginners** Sunday, 22.02.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Writing From Within: Your Body Becomes a Source of Writing** Sunday, 08.03.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **The Art of Not Knowing: Letting Go of Control and Trusting Your Writing** Sunday, 29.03.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Change of Perspective: Writing From Unusual Angles** Saturday, 11.04.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Shape Your Story – But Mindfully** Sunday, 26.04.2026 3 - 5 p.m. **Become Visible and Stick With It: Share Your Story And Strengthen Your Relationship With Your Writing**
