On the International Day of Poetry, we’re meeting in the Rosengarten at Bürgerpark Pankow to write and share poetry together — in a simple, grounded way. No stage. No microphone. No pressure. Bring: * A poem you love * A journal + pen We’ll sit on the benches, take time to write, and then gather in a standing circle to share — if we’d like to. I’ll guide us through a few short writing prompts and we’ll do 2–3 rounds, depending on the group’s energy. The focus is on presence, listening, and creative expression — not perfection. Dress warmly — March can still be crisp. Duration: approx. 75–90 minutes. Afterwards, whoever wants can join for tea or coffee nearby. Orga This meetup is donation based.

Join us for Worship with Holy Communion on the 5th Sunday of Lent, centered on John 11:1–45—the raising of Lazarus, where grief meets hope and Jesus’ promise breaks into the darkness. In a traditional liturgy, we’ll hold space for the mystery of this day and hear its message of life in the midst of death. Holy Communion will be celebrated, followed by warm fellowship after the service. All are welcome. We mean it: ALL.

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.**

**The Question of Success: Psychology, Society, History, and Personal Meaning** Success is one of the most commonly used and least clearly defined ideas in modern life. People are encouraged to pursue success in education, careers, relationships, creativity, and personal development. Yet what success actually means—and how it is defined—varies widely across historical periods, cultures, and individual experiences. For some, success is associated with wealth, status, recognition, or professional achievement. For others, it may mean autonomy, purpose, intellectual fulfillment, meaningful relationships, or inner well-being. Because of this diversity, success is not only a personal aspiration but also a social and psychological concept shaped by historical context, cultural values, institutions, and collective expectations. This session will explore how the idea of success is formed, pursued, and experienced. We will consider how social structures, cultural narratives, and psychological processes influence what people strive for, how they evaluate their lives, and how they interpret achievement and failure. In this session, we will focus on the following topics: * How different cultures and historical periods have defined a successful life * What psychology reveals about motivation, ambition, and the drive to achieve * How society—education, work, and social expectations—shapes our idea of success * The inner side of success: self-belief, identity, and personal values * Why success does not always lead to happiness—and what failure teaches us * Who gets the opportunity to succeed—and how we might redefine success today This will be an open and reflective conversation grounded in historical perspectives, psychological research, social structures, and personal experience. Together, we will examine how success is constructed, how it influences our decisions and identities, and how individuals and societies might rethink what it means to live a successful life. 📅 **Event Details** 🗓️ **Date:** Sunday, 22 March 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 14:00 📍 **Location:** Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin 📱 **WhatsApp (for prep materials and directions)** [Group Chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H)

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

This event is 2:30 - 4 pm Sunday. Conversation tends toward intermediate/advanced, but everybody is welcome. If you come and don't see us right away, keep looking. We could be anywhere in the restaurant.
