Soundground: free improvised music workshop
**A place to meet sound, without maps**
Facilitated by **Vesti Gium (they/them)**
Everyone enters as they are.
No score. No threshold of skill.
We follow the room, moment by moment—
listening, nudging, letting the music find itself.
A breath, a shoelace, a laugh, a footstep—
each carries weight.
Silence is welcomed; noise is celebrated.
There are no wrong directions here.
We practise a listening that reaches outward and inward:
to ourselves, to one another, to the space we shape together.
That is where the music begins.
* 🌀 Bring a voice, an object, an instrument, a movement—or nothing at all.
* ✨ **Priority given to FLINTA folks and people with migration background.**
* 🎧 No experience needed. Curiosity is enough.
* 📍 Berlin – \[theodorstraße 5,12099]
* 🗓 Every Saturday 12:00
* 📬 DM or email **[vestigium.impro@gmail.com](mailto:vestigium.impro@gmail.com)** to join
Come make sound—come be heard.

Rise in Love - 2-day Tantra workshop for couples in Berlin
**For couples that wish to bring a new level of depth and connection into their relationship.**
Sign up via [sophieheldens.com](https://www.sophieheldens.com/berlin/tantra-weekend-workshop-for-couples/rise-in-love?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=riseinlove&utm_medium=eventpage)
Rise in Love is a **two day Tantra weekend retreat for couples** in the city center of Berlin. It invites you into the experience of deeper love, understanding and communion with your partner. Explore yourself and each other in new ways, allow yourselves to be held and guided into deeper intimacy and immerse in an experience that may naturally flow into every aspect of your relationship.
This is for every couple that longs to
* Spend meaningful, uninterrupted time together with the sole purpose of truly connecting
* Experience deeper intimacy on a physical, emotional and spiritual level
* Invite more joy, playfulness, spontaneity and eros into your partnership
* Strengthen your bond and feel more deeply alive and connected together
* Feel whole and complete within yourself and in your relationship
* Meet each other again with presence and authenticity
* Explore new ways of being intimate together
This Tantra couples immersion is a holistic initiation into Tantra for newcomers and offers a valuable deepening for more seasoned practitioners. Whether you’ve been together for years or are newly together - this weekend workshop is for any couple who want to **experience deeper intimacy, invite in more aliveness and meet themselves and the other more deeply.**
#### What to expect:
* Understand Tantra through discourse and experience it through practice
* Well balanced program with a variety of partner practices (see below)
* A curated journey designed to guide you deeper
* A sensitively and lovingly held container
* Cosy and comfortable studio
* Small group with max. 5 other couples (**all** couples welcome!)
#### Tools and practices that you’ll explore together
* Eye-gazing: How often do you truly look into each other’s eyes? Such a simple practice opens the doorway to immense depth. Let yourself be seen and notice what arises in this connection. Learn about yourself through the reflection of your partner and experience deeper intimacy.
* Movement: Explore new movements together- whether through dance, play or guided practice. Allowing your body to move freely and intuitively gives space for spontaneity and joy to arise. Thoughts quieten and presence enters. Welcome home to your body
* Partner meditation; connect heart to heart and experience connection beyond words by cultivating open-hearted presence
* Energy practices; through the use of sound, breath, movement and focussed awareness you will tap into your life-force, opening your central energy channel and allowing for a free flow of energy. This is the basis for full body pleasure and for cultivating your sexual energy. Practicing together with your partner allows for a connection on all levels of being.
* Ritual; honour your connection, invoke sacredness and a profound sense of closeness through Tantric ritual. Ritual provides a framework that supports you to drop deeper into open-hearted presence. It has the potency to invite in sacredness into your relationship and to express and renew your love, appreciation and respect for one another.
* Massage / sacred touch: Explore the quality and power of touch when it comes from a place of deep presence and reverence. Your touch communicates your internal state and with that affects the internal state of your partner. It is meant to unite on a physical and spiritual level.
* Conscious communication: Learn new tools for communicating. Listening carefully and speaking vulnerably about what is actually alive within allows for deep intimacy. Invite your partner into your inner-experience and hold space for theirs. Though we tend to speak often, how often are we fully present in our conversations?
*
#### Who is this for?
This is for every couple that wishes to bring a new level of depth and connection into their relationship - emotionally, physically and spiritually. It is for couples that are looking for new ways of being intimate and are open to growing individually and together. Previous Tantra or meditation experience is not required but ideally you bring some spiritual curiosity. Also for more seasoned Tantra practitioners, this 2-day Tantra workshop is likely to expand your current understanding and practice.
#### How your day will look like
The total practice time each day is about 7 hours, divided over 3 practice blocks. The schedule looks a little different for each day but here you’ll find an example of how your day will look like.
#### Example schedule

Bike Ride - Pickerington Ponds to Three Creeks to Three Creeks
**Weather permitting**, we’ll take a casual ride from Pickerington Ponds (Glacier Knoll) to Three Creeks and back.
Distance is **18–25 miles**, depending on where we turn around and whether we add a side loop.
Pace is around **12 mph**, but this is a fun, no‑drop ride — we can slow down as needed.
Here’s the **map** showing Glacier Knoll (bike), Confluence Park (flag), and BrewDog: [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit..](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit..).
Text or call Scott at **614‑975‑4458** if you’re coming.
