Freestyle vocal workout at and play session. €8-20 😌 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 during the last 12 years of facilitating the “Improvisational Groove Orchestra” (I.G.O.) improv vocal jam 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… It is very easy to participate, no musical talent or training is required so anyone is welcome to join. All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. During these sessions we will also have short breaks for feedback and refreshment. Important – Please be on time.

ABOUT What does it truly mean to give and what does it mean to take? This workshop is for those who wish to deepen intimacy and explore desires with curiosity, mutual care, and a sense of play. Through playful embodied exercises, we will investigate how desire moves between us: how it is offered, received, claimed, resisted, and sometimes withheld. Dare to meet your own desires Using a simple and accessible framework inspired by the Wheel of Consent, we’ll look at the different qualities of giving and taking, not as fixed roles, but as fluid experiences that can shift from moment to moment. You’ll be invited to notice what genuinely feels nourishing, what feels performative or habitual, and where your own edges lie. WHAT YOU WILL EXPLORE Why receiving pleasure can feel so vulnerable, and what holds us back The often-overlooked pleasure of taking The difference between surrender and tolerating How to communicate our desires and boundaries with clarity and ease Through guided exercises, reflection, and playful interaction, you’ll gain practical tools for expressing your desires and boundaries with greater confidence and nuance. The focus is on cultivating presence, trust, and emotional precision, the foundations of truly satisfying play!
