Dear all, I'll be subbing a Fluentbody class at Dharma Studios this Sunday at 14:30. You can sign-up using Urban Sports https://www.urbansportsclub.com/nl/activities?class=101239840 or at Dharma Studios directly: https://www.dharmastudios-berlin.com/neukoelln. If money is an issue, feel free to write me. Looking forward to see some of you there! Best, Elsabeth **Fluentbody™** is a somatic movement practice that invites you to reconnect with your body and the present moment. Guided by breath, music, and awareness, you’re encouraged to move intuitively—led by sensation rather than thought. It’s not about how it looks, but how it feels. Each session unfolds as a shared journey with a clear intention, supporting authentic movement beyond ideas of right or wrong. The practice can be grounding and energising, helping release tension, awaken sensation, and explore both softness and strength. No movement or dance experience is needed. Wear comfortable clothing you can move in (layers recommended). We move barefoot or in socks.

fff- fit frei froh und gesund ebenso durch und mit Lachyoga Wir lachen auch bei Regen!!! Lachyoga ist Wellness, Fitness, Resilienz- und Gesundheitstraining zugleich! Deshalb entwickelte der indische Arzt, Dr. Madan Kataria 1995 diese fröhliche spielerische Yoga-Methode: Lachen ohne Grund. Lachend, spielend, tanzend, singend und bewusst tief atmend - auch bei Frost und Schnee - stärkst Du gleichzeitig Deine körperliche und mentale Gesundheit und Fitness sowie Dein Immunsystem! So beugst Du Krankheiten vor. Dafür gibt es auch eine spezielle Übung: das vorbeugende Lachen. Du verbindest Dich lachend mit den anderen Teilnehmer\*innen. Du aktivierst eine Menge Glückshormone. So stärkst Du Deine Resilienz und kannst gelassener, fröhlicher und unbeschwerter in die neue Woche gehen. Und bei Kälte lachst Du Dich warm!!! Wichtig: warme Füße!!! Also entsprechende Schuhe sind wichtig!!! Übrigens: "Lachen ist der Tanz des Atems" sagt ein indisches Sprichwort. Es ist also Atemtherapie pur. Wo kannst du besser Sauerstoff aufnehmen als an frischer Luft? Auf dem Tempelhofer Feld lachen wir seit 2010 bei jedem Wetter, außer bei einer Unwetterwarnung. Lachyoga kennt keine Altersgrenze, im Gegenteil, es hält jung und verbindet "jung und alt" super miteinander!!! Neugierig geworden? Einfach kommen und mitlachen! offene Gruppe: jede/r ist herzlich eingeladen, mitzulachen, ohne Voranmeldung und ohne Vorkenntnisse bitte mitbringen: Lust, was Neues auszuprobieren; was zu trinken, denn Lachen macht durstig.

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.**

*There are always more participants coming as regulars or from other platforms than shown here* \-\-\- We invite you to join our weekly Evenings of Meditation, to gently meet yourself, dissolve stress and live life from beautiful inner states, like calm, joy and connection. These gatherings are not just about meditating on your own, but a step inward we take together. Each time we’ll look into a particular topic in the light of timeless wisdom, reflect on it in a guided meditation, do powerful Oneness practices for greater wellbeing, and experience Deeksha - which helps to speed up your inner growth. **This week's topic: Knowing Yourself** Do we know who we are? Sometimes we can be very certain about our ideas of our identity, other times we lose clarity about it. None of these help us flow with life. So let’s explore how we can know ourselves better and how this helps us. For more info see: [www.onenessberlin.com](http://www.onenessberlin.com/) 🎟️ **Entry**: € 10 for walk-ins (in cash or PayPal) just for us to pay for the space or **[get a ticket from € 5 >](https://momence.com/l/WQhWQzBB)** 📍**Where**: Yoga Sky, Am Tempelhofer Berg 7d, 10965 Berlin Follow the Yoga Sky signs in the yard, and take the elevator to the top floor. 🗓 **When**: Sunday, 31st of May, 19:00 - 20:30 Please arrive 5-10 min earlier to settle down. You’re welcome, no matter your background or experience. This is what has worked for us over many years and we love to share it with you. Looking forward to see you, Oneness Berlin Florian & Jazgul

*English follows below* **Berlin hat genug Postkarten. Diesmal geht's darum, herauszufinden, welches Bild darin wirklich deins ist**. In 3 Stunden bewegen wir uns von Ostkreuz über das RAW-Gelände und die Warschauer Brücke bis zur Oberbaumbrücke. Durch Orte, die bewusst ausgewählt sind, weil sie voller Kontraste, Bewegung und dieser typischen Berlin-Energie stecken, die man nicht inszenieren kann. Kein geführter Rundgang, kein Motivabhaken. Eher ein gemeinsamer Spielplatz für Fokus, Aufmerksamkeit und den eigenen fotografischen inneren Blick. **Im Mittelpunkt steht eine Frage, die bei normalen Fotowalks fast nie gestellt wird: Wie filterst du aus all dem Lärm, den Reizen und den tausend möglichen Motiven einer Großstadt heraus, was dir eigentlich wichtig ist?** Nicht was sehenswert ist laut Reiseführer. Was dich wirklich anhält. Mit kleinen Übungen, echtem Austausch und Orten, die genug Reibung haben um interessant zu werden, schauen wir gemeinsam darauf, wie Fokus, Vorstellungskraft und das eigene Kopfkino beeinflussen, welche Bilder entstehen. Und warum manche Fotos später noch leben, während andere drei Sekunden nach dem Öffnen schon vergessen sind. Manche merken hier zum ersten Mal, wie stark die eigene Wahrnehmung Fotografie verändert. Den Abschluss macht ein echter Berliner Moment. Späti-Kaltgetränk, Streetfood, ein paar der bekanntesten Postkartenmotive der Stadt um uns umgeben. Nicht als Touristen-Selfie-Spot, sondern um die eigenen Bilder nochmal anders zu sehen und durch die Blickwinkel der anderen Ideen mitzunehmen, auf die man alleine nicht gekommen wäre. Smartphone oder Kamera, Einsteiger oder Profi: Der Raum ist groß genug, damit jeder auf dem eigenen Niveau arbeiten kann. Was zählt, ist Neugier auf die eigene Wahrnehmung und Lust auf mehr als die typische Touri-Fototour. SpendenBeitrag ab 20 €. => Kleine Gruppe, volle Aufmerksamkeit. Ich freu mich auf dich und deinen Blick. Auf die Bilder, die noch niemand gemacht hat, weil sie auf dich gewartet haben. Vorfreudige Grüße Pierre \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Between Postcard Motif & Your Image** **Berlin has enough postcards. This time it's about finding out which image in it is truly yours.** In 3 hours we move from Ostkreuz through the RAW Gelände and Warschauer Brücke to Oberbaumbrücke. Through places chosen deliberately because they're full of contrasts, movement and that typical Berlin energy you can't stage. No guided tour, no checklist of spots. More like a shared playground for focus, attention and your own inner photographic eye. **At the center is a question that almost never gets asked on regular photo walks: How do you filter out from all the noise, the stimuli and the thousand possible subjects of a big city what actually matters to you?** Not what's worth seeing according to a travel guide. What genuinely stops you in your tracks. With small exercises, real exchange and places that have enough friction to become interesting, we look together at how focus, imagination and your own inner vision influence which images emerge. And why some photos still feel alive later, while others are forgotten three seconds after opening them. Some people notice for the first time here how strongly their own perception changes photography. The ending is a real Berlin moment. Cold "Späti" drinks and/or street food, surrounded by a few of the city's most iconic postcard motifs. Not as a tourist selfie spot, but to see your own images differently and take home ideas from other people's perspectives that you wouldn't have found alone. **Smartphone or camera, beginner or pro: The space is wide enough for everyone to work at their own level. What counts is curiosity about your own perception and the desire for more than the typical tourist photo tour.** Suggested donation from 20 €. => Small group, full attention. I'm looking forward to you and your eye. To the images nobody has made yet, because they've been waiting for you. Warm regards and anticipation, Pierre

Join us for SonicJourney – an intimate evening of sound, story, and deep listening in Berlin. Multiple facilitators will weave a living soundscape with Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, chimes, voice, and various beautiful healing instruments from the sound healing world. You’re invited to lie down, soften, and let the vibrations support your nervous system, invite deep rest, and gently carry you wherever your inner journey wishes to take you. **What We’ll Do** We gather in a cozy studio in Friedrichshain for a 90-minute SonicJourney: a guided 1-hour sound journey / sound bath in Berlin, held within a gentle opening and closing. * **Arrival & Opening** We arrive, land in the space and in our bodies, and share a short introduction to SonicJourney and the theme of the evening. * **Sonic Journey** You lie down on your mat, get comfortable, and close your eyes. Three facilitators co-create a living soundscape using instruments from the sound healing (Klangheilung) world: Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, chimes, drums, flute, voice, and subtle textures of silence. Rather than telling a story with words, we let sound carry the narrative. Each person receives their own version of the journey – images, emotions, and sensations may arise in their own way and timing, like a very personal Klangreise. * **Integration & Closing** We return slowly, with time to feel the body again, integrate in silence or share a few words, and close the space together so you can carry the experience back into your evening. **How It May Feel** Everyone’s journey is different, but participants often describe feeling: * Calmer, softer, and more connected to their body * Less mental noise, more inner space * Gently energized yet deeply grounded * More open to creativity, rest, and connection ​ You don’t need to “do” anything right – your only job is to show up as you are and receive. **What's unique about SonicJourney** * Multi-voice sound field – Several facilitators play at once, creating layered textures and depth. * Story as sound – Instead of words, we let stories unfold through vibration, rhythm and silence. * Community at the core – This space is about being together, not just having an individual experience. * Rooted in sound healing – We use instruments chosen to support the nervous system and invite deep rest. **Who this is for:** SonicJourney is for you if: * You long for a pause from the pace and noises within. * You feel curious about sound healing, altered states, or deep relaxation. * You enjoy non-verbal, sensory experiences more than a lot of talking. No prior experience with yoga, meditation or music is needed. All backgrounds and levels are welcome. If you are pregnant, have sound sensitivity or have a medical condition, you’re invited to reach out beforehand so we can support you as best we can. * Comfortable, warm clothing and socks. * Optional: your own mat / blanket if you prefer (studio has mats and props). * Water bottle. * Any extra cushion or eye cover that supports your rest. **MEET THE HOST** **Dhiraj** **Dhiraj’s** journey from software developer to sound healer was inspired by his wife’s deep connection to yoga and spirituality. Through yoga, meditation, and sound healing, he discovered a profound sense of peace and a passion for helping others reconnect with themselves. Now, as a sound bath healer, Dhiraj creates warm, welcoming spaces where people can relax, reflect, and find inner calm. A proud member of Yogic Escape, he loves sharing the joy and balance he’s found, helping others on their own paths to self-discovery. **SARA** Sara is a certified sound and energy therapist based in Berlin. A longtime practitioner of yoga and meditation, she trained in sound healing with a focus on Tibetan bowls and gongs. "In 2023, I encountered sound healing and felt the profound potential of sound vibration and energy work—to unlock, to heal, and to reconnect deeply. I love shaping sound baths as spaces of complete surrender, where people can simply be—beyond roles and definitions—and gently come home to themselves, without judgment and in peace." **DICLE** Dicle is a Berlin-based dancer, yoga teacher, and Pilates/Barre instructor , and sound healer. Rooted in her dance background, her teaching is guided by creativity, mindfulness, and deep care for her students. She creates balancing, transformative sound baths with Tibetan singing bowls and complementary instruments—spaces where the body softens, the mind clears, and the nervous system can settle into parasympathetic rest. **FEDERICO** Federico is a Berlin-based sound healing practitioner and yoga teacher. After years of embodied practice and teaching, he trained in sound healing in 2025. His encounter with sound deeply transformed his way of perceiving life and practice, guiding him toward a more subtle, essential, and listening-based approach. His work creates spaces of stillness, regulation, and reconnection through vibration and presence. “Sound healing changed the way I listen—to my body, to others, and to life itself. Working with sound taught me that transformation does not always come through effort, but often through allowing. In my sessions, I offer a space where nothing needs to be fixed, where people can slow down, rest, and gently return to themselves.” **Important Notes for Participants** While SonicJourney is designed to be deeply soothing and restorative, we offer the following guidance so the experience can be safe and supportive for everyone: * If you are taking medication for anxiety, depression, sleep, blood pressure, or any condition affecting the nervous system, the depth of relaxation and altered state may feel more amplified. * If you live with epilepsy, strong sound sensitivity, PTSD, a history of trauma, or certain mental‑health conditions, the long, layered vibrations may evoke unexpected sensations, images or emotions. * If you are pregnant, especially in the first trimester, please only join if it feels right for you and after consulting your healthcare provider. * If you use hearing aids or cochlear implants, you may choose to adjust or remove them if the sound field feels too intense. If any of this relates to you — or if you’re simply unsure how your body may respond — we warmly encourage you to check in with a healthcare professional before attending. During the journey, you are always welcome to change position, sit up, rest, take a break, or step outside. Your comfort, choice and inner stability matter above all. *May the vibrations guide you, cleanse you, and remind you of the quiet healing already alive within your being.*

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

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.
