Erlebe in dieser offenen tanztherapeutischen Gruppe die heilende Kraft der Berührung und wie sie uns in Bewegung bringt. Contact Improvisation ist eine Tanzform, in der es um Berührungen geht, die keine Absicht verfolgen. Es ist eine Einladung, in solche Berührungen hineinzuspüren und dieses Spüren in spontane Bewegung zu verwandeln. Was wird berührt, was möchte sich ausdrücken? So entsteht ein Dialog spürender Begegnung. Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen werden im bewegten Körper erfahrbar und finden gleichzeitig Ausdruck. Contact hilft uns, zu erleben, wie man mit anderen im Kontakt sein kann indem man mit sich selbst in Kontakt tritt—körperlich wie seelisch—und umgekehrt. Dies ist kein Contact Kurs. Anders als bei Contact Events bietet diese Gruppe einen geschützten Rahmen, zu erkunden, wie körperliche Berührung und Bewegung unser Selbst berühren und in Bewegung bringen können. Was sind die Resonanzen, wenn wir mit anderen und uns selbst in Kontakt treten? Welchen Hindernissen begegnen wir? Wie können wir Neues wagen? Erfahrung mit Contact Impro oder Tanz ist nicht notwendig, nur die grundsätzliche Offenheit, Berührung und Bewegung zu erkunden. Wir legen besonderes Augenmerk darauf, in welchen Grenzen jede Person Berührung zulassen möchte. Diese Gruppe ist für Dich, wenn Du Deine eigenen Themen im Kontakt mit anderen und durch Deinen bewegten Körper in einem sicheren Raum erkunden und bearbeiten möchtest. **Wo**: Colibri-Studio, Karl-Marx-Str. 149, Berlin (U Karl-Marx-Str.) **Wann**: Dienstags, 20:00-21:30, ca. 14-tägig, genaue Termine erfragen. Teilnahme nur nach vorheriger Anmeldung: info@jochenkleres.de

### **🌿 Watercolour Herbarium: A Sensory Workshop** Do you know which herbs boost memory? Which ones calm your body, support digestion, or help you sleep? Join us for a unique 4-day watercolour journey where art meets nature, observation, and everyday wisdom. **In this workshop, we will create our own illustrated herbarium — a personal catalogue of plants — while working directly from real, fresh herbs from my little balcony garden.** You’ll learn how to observe their shapes, textures, and colours, and translate them into delicate watercolour studies. But this is more than painting. Each day, we’ll explore a different selection of herbs like oregano, rosemary, mint, basil and more — learning how they grow, what they’re traditionally used for, and how they can support your body and wellbeing. **We’ll touch them, smell them, paint them… and even taste them in teas and infusions,** engaging all our senses to truly connect with each plant. ✨ What to expect: * Guided watercolour sessions (all levels welcome) * Real herbs to observe and paint from life * Gentle introduction to herbal knowledge & home remedies * A growing collection of your own illustrated herbarium * A calm, sensory, and inspiring atmosphere * Tips about how to grow these herbs at home during this spring By the end of the 4 days, you’ll leave not only with a beautiful series of paintings, but also with a deeper understanding of the plants around you — and how they can become part of your everyday rituals. The workshop includes **four classes**, but you’re also welcome to join individual sessions (when available).

Join me for a small, mindful photography walk in nature. (**NOTE Time is 9:00 AM EST(Meetup is having technical Issue))** This is a slow, intentional gathering — not focused on fitness or perfect photography — but on simply pausing, observing, and being present. We’ll walk at a gentle pace, with moments of quiet, and a few light prompts to help you notice details you might normally miss. 📷 You don’t need any photography experience — a phone camera is enough. This is also not a business networking event. It’s a calm space to connect with nature and, if it feels natural, with like-minded people. 🌿 What to expect: • A slow-paced, relaxed walk • Moments of silence and observation • Simple reflection prompts 📍 Location: [ Red Trabue Nature Preserve] ⏱ Duration: \~60 minutes This is a small, initial gathering as I begin creating this space through WellGratiVibes — a blend of mindfulness, nature, and quiet connection. If this resonates with you, you’re welcome to join.
