**Einladung zur Flowgame-Session im Rahmen "Tag der Erde 2026"** In einer Zeit, die für viele von uns unsicher und herausfordernd ist, tragen wir alle auf die eine oder andere Weise Ängste in uns. In dieser Flowgame-Session möchte ich einen Raum öffnen, in dem wir uns diesen Ängsten gemeinsam zuwenden können – im Gespräch, im Austausch und getragen vom Flowgame als Struktur und Halt. Mehr zum FlowGame hier: www.flowgame.net Es geht darum, miteinander ins Gespräch zu kommen: über das, was uns bewegt, was uns Sorgen macht und was uns vielleicht auch Mut gibt. Indem wir unsere Erfahrungen teilen, können wir uns gegenseitig unterstützen und möglicherweise neue Perspektiven und Zuversicht für die Zukunft finden. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei vor allem der ehrliche Austausch über Ängste – weil sie zu uns gehören und gehört werden wollen. Ich freue mich auf eine achtsame, offene Runde mit euch.

This special earth day edition of the mystery salon will dive into our understanding of and relationship to nature. Through a mixture of storytelling, discussion, and integration exercises we will be diving into the myths and legends that first governed indigenous beliefs around earth, elements and sacred nature- and how these have evolved over time into our modern experience. Covering topics that touch on the elements- and the power of nature, herbs, and sacred medicine- the focus of this salon is to examine our connection to nature, and how we may live back in balance again with nature. As a special bonus we will have a small sampling of refreshments available to experience a sensual and grounding journey of all the wonderful gifts the earth has to offer- as well as a tea bar at the end for you to make your own personal tea blend to bring home. We hope you leave this evening with a renewed connection & appreciation for the natural world around you. Door open at 7:00 pm, event starts at 7:30 pm. We will have light refreshments and drinks available for a small donation. This event is donation/contribution based to make it accessible for all. Recommended donation is 10-15 euros Please note meetup registration is capped at 10 participants- but we have room for more! To secure your spot please [pre-register here.](https://rausgegangen.de/en/events/mystery-salon-at-baumhaus-earth-elements-sacred-nature-0/) We recommend bringing a notebook or journal. We welcome perspectives and input of all kinds- whether you are a novice or expert- all levels are welcome- perhaps we can learn something from you? This salon is part of a special event series taking place at various location throughout Berlin. Every Wednesday in April we gather for intellectual discussion around a range of topics at the intersection of spirituality, science, and self-improvement. We can't wait to welcome you there! For questions please reach out to the organizer cheryl@risingtide.store

A playful creative workshop where we turn everyday materials and old clothes into something new. Each week we explore a different idea: cutting, painting, experimenting with colours, or transforming old garments into fun new creations. Using simple materials and a lot of imagination, we discover how small changes can make something ordinary become something special again. No big experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try. Some workshops only need scissors, others invite you to paint, experiment or invent your own designs. Bring something old that you would like to transform, wear clothes that can get messy, and come create with us! Every workshop is a little different — but creativity, playfulness and surprises are always included. Check every Wednesday which workshop is going on! donation based all ages are wellcome ! \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Ein spielerischer Kreativ-Workshop, in dem wir Alltagsmaterialien und alte Kleidung in etwas Neues verwandeln. Jede Woche entdecken wir eine andere Idee: schneiden, malen, mit Farben experimentieren oder alte Kleidung in neue Lieblingsstücke verwandeln. Mit einfachen Materialien und viel Fantasie wird aus etwas Gewöhnlichem wieder etwas Besonderes. Vorkenntnisse sind nicht nötig — nur Neugier und Lust, etwas auszuprobieren. Manche Workshops brauchen nur eine Schere, andere laden zum Malen und Experimentieren ein. Bring etwas Altes mit, das du verwandeln möchtest, zieh Kleidung an, die auch mal schmutzig werden darf, und komm zum Kreativsein vorbei! Jede Woche ist anders — schau mittwochs vorbei und entdecke den aktuellen Workshop. auf Spendenbasis, ohne Anmeldung Alle Altersgruppen sind willkommen

Each of the facilitators will bring their experiences in Mindfulness, Zen, Vipassana and other forms of meditation. The body-mind and the senses are explored as doorways into meditation. The purpose of this exploration is to become more conscious of your Self at many levels. Beginning wherever we are, this approach to meditation has an open goal of harmonizing with the present moment. The focus is on slowing down, unwinding tension and relaxing the nervous system. **General Information:** * Previous meditation experience is not necessary. * This event will be in German and/or English depending on participant needs. * The Queer Meditation Group is leaded by a rotating group of four facilitators. * This event can be attended as one of two free monthly events, which are included in the **[we are village Mitgliedschaft](https://wearevillage.org/en/produkt-kategorie/memberships-en-2/)**. 🔵 Die **Queere Meditationsgruppe** bietet einen sicheren und inklusiven Raum für **LGBTQIA+** Personen, um sich durch sanfte Körperabstimmung, Atemachtsamkeit und bewusste Sitzpraxis auf einen erkundenden Ansatz zur Meditation einzulassen. Jeder der Leiter\* bringt Erfahrungen mit Achtsamkeit, Zen, Vipassana und anderen Formen der Meditation mit ein. Vorherige Meditationserfahrung ist nicht erforderlich. Der Körper-Geist und die Sinne werden als Eingangstor zur Meditation erforscht. Das Ziel dieser Erkundung ist es, sich seines Selbst auf vielen Ebenen bewusster zu werden. Ausgehend von dem Ort, an dem wir uns gerade befinden, hat dieser Meditationsansatz das offene Ziel, mit dem gegenwärtigen Moment in Einklang zu kommen und sich zu verlangsamen, Spannungen abzubauen und das Nervensystem zu entspannen. **Hinweise:** * Vorherige Meditationserfahrung ist nicht erforderlich. * Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. * Die Queer-Meditationsgruppe wird von einer wechselnden Gruppe von vier Moderatoren geleitet. * Diese Veranstaltung kann als eine der zwei kostenfreien monatlichen Veranstaltungen besucht werden, die Bestandteil der **[we are village Mitgliedschaft](https://wearevillage.org/produkt-kategorie/mitgliedschaften/)** sind.

**Important! Please register on [Luma Page](https://luma.com/8d2zd6a6)** 🎤 **Calling everyone who wants to get better at presenting, thinking on the spot, and communicating ideas clearly.** Most of us have prepared presentations. But real life doesn’t always give you that luxury. Being able to **structure your thoughts quickly, explain ideas clearly, and stay confident in unpredictable situations** is a different skill. At this session, we’ll practice exactly that — in a format that’s structured, practical, and a bit chaotic (in the best way). If you want to get more comfortable presenting without overthinking, this event is for you. ## **We’ll work on:** * how to structure ideas clearly and quickly * how to present without a script * how to stay confident when you don’t fully know what’s coming * how to communicate in a way people actually follow **What to expect** We’ll start with a **simple, practical framework** for building clear and engaging presentations. Then we’ll break into smaller groups to **think, discuss, and prepare ideas together**. And then — **presentation karaoke**. You’ll get slides you’ve never seen before and present them on the spot. No preparation, no perfect script — just real-time thinking and communication. **Agenda** 18:00-18:30 — Arrivals & introduction 18:30-19:15 — Workshop & group work 19:15-20:30 — Presentation karaoke 20:30-21:00 — Networking **Who is this event for?** Anyone who wants to: * get better at presenting ideas * feel more confident speaking in front of others * practice thinking and communicating under pressure **Where & When?** 📍 **[SPICED Academy]()**, Ritterstraße 12-14, 10969 Berlin 📅 April 22, 2026 🕕 18:00 – 21:00 Spots are limited, so make sure to RSVP. **Important!
