Was ist Embodied Dating? ## Die Idee ist *simpel.* Wir lernen Menschen am schnellsten kennen, wenn wir mit ihnen wirklich in Kontakt kommen. Nicht digital. Nicht über Smalltalk. Sondern **körperlich**, direkt und *ehrlich.* Denn unser Körper weiß deutlich schneller, ob es passen könnte. Und bevor du investierst, um am Ende wieder enttäuscht zu sein, probier doch mal was **Neues**. Und das beste: Selbst wenn es nicht funkt, wirst du eine **wertvolle Erfahrung** gemacht haben!

Good wine. Great cheese. Even better conversation. Some things are simply better together. The right wine with the right cheese. The right person at the right moment. The trick, in both cases, is knowing what you're actually looking for. **Pairing** is an intimate afternoon for singles in Berlin. Guided by a wine expert and a professional matchmaker, and held at the cozy and unpretentious Nicki's on Mommsenstraße, you're invited to this elevated singles event. No prior knowledge required... just bring your curiosity! The format is simple: a guided tasting of carefully selected wines paired with cheese & nibbles, good conversation, and a small group of internationally-minded singles who are there for something real rather than something swiped. You will taste 3 wines: a pinot noir, a cabernet sauvignon, and a chardonnay, and experience how the right cheese can transform your experience of them. We promise: no speed-dating, no name badges, and no awkward introductions. Just wine, cheese, and a comfortable atmosphere that leaves no one excluded. Amongst the specially selected wines, we'll weave in conversation cards, a short talk from a matchmaker's perspective, and playful details throughout. **Your hosts:** Alysia Tofflemire is Germany's only certified matchmaker and founder of [Alto](https://www.altomatchmaking.com), a boutique matchmaking agency for internationally-minded singles across Europe. Annie Jia is a Berlin-based wine expert with deep expertise in wine & hospitality from Shenzhen to Paris. **Details:** 📅 Saturday 16 May 2026 🕒 15:00 to 17:00 📍 Nicki's · Mommsenstraße · Berlin-Charlottenburg 🎟 [€35 per person](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pairing-a-wine-cheese-tasting-for-singles-registration-1988267931907) · includes guided wine tasting, 3 carefully-chosen wines with complementing cheese & nibbles, water, and expert facilitation 👥 Limited to 12 guests **This is a ticketed event! RSVPing on Meetup does not reserve a spot or guarantee a ticket, so make sure you purchase your ticket at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pairing-a-wine-cheese-tasting-for-singles-registration-1988267931907** This particular event is aimed at internationally-minded singles aged ca. 35 - 60, seeking heterosexual connections. *By attending you consent to being photographed for Alto's social media; please let us know on arrival if you'd prefer not to be included.*

Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events? This is different. Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing. Booking happens through our website. 👉 Reserve your spot: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city Most people come alone. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real. Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease. Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry. Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.

**with Tina & Ricardo – on Tempelhofer Feld** (deutscher Text weiter unten) We warmly invite you to a free, open Osho Kundalini Meditation in the open air – right in the heart of Berlin, on Tempelhofer Feld. This invitation is for anyone who feels curious, enjoys movement, music and inner spaciousness, or simply wants to try something new. You don’t need to know anything, achieve anything, or be good at anything. **What to expect** The Osho Kundalini Meditation is an active dance and relaxation meditation, bringing together movement, music and stillness. It creates space to release tension, arrive fully in the body, and gently sink into deep relaxation afterwards. The meditation consists of four phases: 1\. free movement and shaking to loosen the body 2\. dancing with music to allow energy to flow 3\. a quieter\, still phase for sensing and noticing 4\. relaxed lying down to integrate No experience with meditation is needed, and no prior knowledge of Osho or Kundalini is required. There is no “right” or “wrong” way – everything is welcome, nothing is expected. **Our way of guiding the meditation** Tina and I (Ricardo) will guide the meditation in English, with music and clear, welcoming impulses. We follow the structure of the Osho Kundalini Meditation while also leaving space for our own inputs and an open, personal experience. What matters most is your own lived experience – not techniques or concepts. **What you might like to bring** If you wish, feel free to bring something to sit or lie on during the final phase, such as: \- a meditation cushion \- a yoga mat \- a blanket or a cloth \- You are also very welcome to come with nothing at all and simply lie or sit directly on the grass. **Location & registration** The meditation will take place on Tempelhofer Feld, like shown on the marker on the map. Its close to the entrance Oderstrasse, just 300m north west of it. Participation is free and open, and you are welcome to join spontaneously. We would still appreciate a Meetup registration, as it helps us estimate the number of participants. This meditation is also an invitation and a taste of our retreat **“Emotional Detox Through Tantric‑Tao Bodywork”**, but it stands on its own and can be attended independently. We look forward to spending this time together – with movement, music, spaciousness, and the Berlin sky above us. here is a link to our next retreat: [Emotional Detox Through Tantric-Tao Bodywork (Englisch) - Rosenwaldhof](https://www.rosenwaldhof.de/event/mal-weeraratne-emotional-detox-31-aug-6-sept-2026/) *** **mit Tina & Ricardo – auf dem Tempelhofer Feld** Wir laden dich herzlich ein zu einer kostenlosen, offenen Osho Kundalini Meditation unter freiem Himmel – mitten in Berlin, auf dem Tempelhofer Feld. Diese Einladung gilt allen, die neugierig sind, Lust auf Bewegung, Musik und innere Weite haben oder einfach mal etwas Neues ausprobieren möchten. Du musst nichts „können“, nichts wissen, nichts leisten. **Was dich erwartet** Die Osho Kundalini Meditation ist eine aktive Tanz‑ und Entspannungsmeditation, bei der Bewegung, Musik und Stille zusammenkommen. Sie gibt Raum, Spannung loszulassen, im Körper anzukommen und danach in eine tiefe Entspannung zu sinken. Die Meditation besteht aus vier Phasen: 1\. freie Bewegung und Schütteln\, um den Körper zu lockern 2\. Tanz zu Musik\, um Energie in Fluss zu bringen 3\. ein stiller Teil zum Nachspüren 4\. entspanntes Liegen zum Integrieren Du brauchst keinerlei Erfahrung mit Meditation und kein Wissen über Osho oder Kundalini. Es gibt kein „richtig“ oder „falsch“ – alles darf sein, nichts muss. **Unsere Art, die Meditation anzuleiten** Tina und ich (Ricardo) begleiten die Meditation mit Musik und klaren, einladenden Impulsen auf englisch. Wir orientieren uns an der Osho Kundalini Meditation, lassen aber auch Raum für unsere eigenen Inputs und eine offene Erfahrung. Im Mittelpunkt steht das eigene Erleben – nicht Technik oder Konzepte. **Was du mitbringen kannst** Wenn du möchtest, bring dir gern etwas mit, worauf du am Ende liegen oder sitzen kannst \- ein Sitzkissen \- eine Yogamatte \- eine Decke oder ein Tuch \- Du kannst aber auch ganz ohne alles kommen und dich direkt ins Gras legen oder setzten. **Ort & Anmeldung** Die Meditation findet auf dem Tempelhofer Feld statt. Der Treffpunkt ist ganz nahe des Eingangs Oderstrasse, etwa 300m nordwestlich von dort. Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos und offen, spontanes Dazukommen ist möglich. Über eine Anmeldung via Meetup freuen wir uns dennoch, damit wir die Anzahl der Teilnehmenden besser einschätzen können. Diese Meditation ist auch eine Einladung und ein Vorgeschmack auf unser Retreat "Emotional Detox Through Tantric-Tao Bodywork", steht aber für sich und ist unabhängig davon. Wir freuen uns auf eine gemeinsame Zeit – mit Bewegung, Musik, Weite und dem Berliner Himmel über uns. folgend der Link zu unserem nächsten Retreat: [Emotional Detox Through Tantric-Tao Bodywork (Englisch) - Rosenwaldhof](https://www.rosenwaldhof.de/event/mal-weeraratne-emotional-detox-31-aug-6-sept-2026/)

Подойдёт даже если ты **новичок или давно не тренировался(ась)**. *Что тебя ждёт*: — упражнения на всё тело + акцент на ягодицы — работа с осанкой и стабилизацией — объяснение, какие мышцы должны работать и как это почувствовать — приятная нагрузка без “убиться на тренировке” Формат: небольшая группа 10-15 человек С собой: коврик, вода и удобная одежда Location: Seehausener Str 13057, Sportlage/Fitness

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.**

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
