🌿 Seitai Group Session — A Journey Into Your Body’s Natural Wisdom
❗️To RSVP for event, please drop a message to the host ❗️
Come join us for a gentle yet powerful **Seitai group practice** — a space where silence, breath, and spontaneous movement meet. This is a **donation-based event**, so you’re free to contribute what feels right (usually 5–10€).
✨ **What is Seitai?**
Seitai (整体) is a Japanese practice that helps you reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence. Through subtle awareness and guided techniques, you’ll be invited to:
* **Listen deeply** to your body through *Yuki* (a meditative, hands-on practice of sensing and following the breath).
* **Release hidden tension** with *Katsugen* — allowing involuntary, spontaneous movements to arise naturally.
* **Find balance** in stillness and movement, letting your body recalibrate itself in surprising ways.
Seitai is not about control or forcing; it’s about giving voice to the movements your body has been waiting to express. Sometimes this brings ease, clarity, and lightness. Sometimes it stirs up dizziness, discomfort, or emotions. Every experience is valid — and you are always free to pause or leave at any time.
🌌 **Why join?**
* Discover a practice that many find deeply transformative.
* Create space for release, renewal, and vitality.
* Explore in community, whether you’re a curious first-timer or already familiar with Seitai.
👕 **Practical details**
* Wear comfortable clothes.
* Bring openness and curiosity.
* Watchers are welcome — you can simply observe, or dive into active practice.
* The session is guided, but the real teacher is your own body.

Folk Devils - Mask Making Workshop
**Welcome to a new Mask-making Workshop!**
As Carnival approaches, we are excited to invite you to a new, two-day hands-on mask-making workshop inspired by folk devils, spirits, and popular mythological figures from Latin America and Central America.
This workshop combines cultural references, imagination, and craft, inviting participants to create their own expressive folk mask using recycled materials. No previous experience is required.
In this context, devils are not symbols of evil. They represent creative **chaos, irony, protection, transformation, and vital force.** These figures often blur the line between human, animal, and spirit, appearing as guardians of the land, playful tricksters, or exaggerated reflections of social power and fear.
**Day 1: Symbols, Archetypes & Design**
We begin with a short cultural introduction about what the “devil” represents in Latin American folk traditions. We will explore visual examples from traditional masks and popular celebrations: folk spirits, tricksters, and hybrid animal–human figures.
We will then choose a personal archetype to work with. Using a template as a base, and through quick sketches, we will design and define:
• Expression: rage, irony, mystery, laughter.
• Horns, nose, fangs, beard, beaks, ears, snouts
• Human, animal, or hybrid forms
By the end of Day 1, each participant will have a clear mask concept and begin **building the base structure with recycled cardboard and paper-maché**, which will be left to dry before the second session.
**Day 2 — Painting & Finishing**
We will bring the masks to life through finishing, colour, textures, and expressive accents. You will get insights on choosing your colour palette, mixing colours and painting with acrylic to get different finishing effects.
The workshop closes with a collective sharing moment, where participants can present the character, spirit, or creature behind their mask.
**Dates:** Friday 20 + 27.02.26 from 5 to 8PM.
**Address:** In Friedrichshain. Exact address by e-mail.
**Price:** 110€/ 90€ for regular students. Materials are included as well as drinks and snacks.
**Materials:**
All basic materials are included (Cardboard, paper, paste, papier-mâché, acrylic colours, fabric and thread, natural elements such as seeds, wood, fibres, or decorative details)
We encourage you to bring your unique elements (your own special colours, personal materials or objects, small found items, fabrics, feathers, textures, or symbolic elements connected to your mask)
**How to sign up?**
Please send an email to **hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com,** and you will receive the registration form with all the details of payment and the exact address. Limited spots.

Passionate about art and sustainability, she specialises in exploring the creative possibilities of recycled materials.

Samurai Sword Fighting Trial Class - Katori Shinto-ryu Berlin
[*Registration form required below*] **Interested in Japanese sword fighting or Japanese culture? Come join a trial and experience the traditional Samurai art at Katori Shintō-ryū in Schöneberg.**
**Trial Fee**: **25€**/ session (2hr). Classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 19:00 to 21:00.
**!!SIGN UP HERE**: [Katori Shinto-ryū Berlin Sign-up (google.com)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBt4A13VgnEcgQQ2PDaruthmYMRWineG4KtUCKsuC9KBsCUQ/viewform) Registration is required before your participation so that we can prepare enough training equipment.
**Address**: Belziger Str. 25, 10823 Berlin.
**No previous experience required!** The classes are in English and German.
**Our website**: [Kenjutsu Berlin - Official school of Katori Shinto-ryu in Berlin (katoriberlin.org)](https://katoriberlin.org/)
**Katori Shintō-ryū** is one of the oldest Japanese sword fighting traditions (koryū) still practised today and is recognized by the Japanese government as a cultural intangeable asset. The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history.
The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects.
**The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha.
**Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

FLOW meditation - a fun and expansive auditory experience
😌 **a FLOW Meditation is an active, fun & expansive shared auditory experience.**
💥 This month we have 2 dates
**Sat 21 Feb schedule**
19:00 – Doors open, meet and greet, snacks & drinks
20:00 – Session Start, explanation, warm up & first round – planting seeds
21:00 – Short Break & Then second round – deepening the roots
21:30 – Closing, feedback, chill out
23:00 – End
**+ Sat 28 Feb @21:45 for 1 hour, after community night buffet**
🔥 Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…:
• a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together…
• a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like…
Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed over the last 13 years of facilitating these sessions. Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments… All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space.
• no experience with meditation or music is needed to participate and enjoy
€10 -30€ after the session ---> Pay for the value of your experience

we’re creating a full immersive experience with surround visuals & sound — making it feel as if you’re entering another world.
This is kirtan unlike anything you’ve experienced. It’s a deep journey through sound and mantra that helps you not just listen, but to feel with open hearts — letting the mantras gradually fill you with happiness, warmth, and peace. You’re also welcome to dive in, singing or dancing if you like.
We’re looking forward to sharing this experience with you 🤍 after the event we will surprise you with a little gift
