The Quiet Hour - Women's Circle
**The Quiet Hour** is a two-and-a-half-hour guided journey for women — a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the power of shared presence.
When we speak about healing in this space, it is not limited to one dimension. It can touch the emotional, mental, and physical layers of our experience. The intention is to create a moment where the body can soften, the mind can quiet, and we can reconnect with a deeper sense of clarity and alignment within ourselves.
During the evening, we guide you through meditation, visualization, sound, and gentle energy work. The vibrations of sound help the body release tension, while the guided visualization invites you to reconnect with the life you wish to create and the deeper intentions that live within you.
Together, we also explore the power of identity — the understanding that the way we see ourselves shapes the life we experience. When we reconnect with our inner strength and authenticity, we begin to move from emotional chaos toward a more grounded and stable foundation within ourselves.
At **SheWhoRests**, we believe that every woman carries immense strength within her. Yet even the strongest among us needs connection — someone who believes in our dreams, understands our struggles, and holds space for our journey.
That is why community and connection are an important part of this gathering.
Through gentle sharing and simple exercises, we create moments where women can feel supported by one another and remember that we are not walking this journey alone.
The intention of The Quiet Hour is simple:
to offer a space where you can pause, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling more grounded, more understood, and more supported in your journey.
Shamanic Women’s Circle 🔥 Speak Your Truth
In this sacred women’s circle, we gather to reconnect with the truth within us — the voice that has often been silenced, hidden, or softened to fit the expectations of others.
Through **shamanic rituals, drum induced trance journeys, sharing, sound, and deep feminine connection**, we create a safe and nourishing space where your authentic voice is welcome exactly as it is.
This space invites you to release fear, speak from the heart, and remember the power of your inner wisdom. Together, we honor vulnerability, expression, and the courage to be fully seen and heard.
Come as you are. Bring your truth, your softness, your fire, your voice.
✨ No previous experience needed
✨ A safe space for connection, healing & empowerment
✨ Please bring comfortable clothing, a scarf or mask to cover your eyes, and a journal

Somatography of Intimacy – End of Instinct Residency
**Somatography of Intimacy – End of Instinct Residency**
Artist: ***Martin Dieudonné***
for **LGBTQIA+**
**Free Admission**
This end-of-residency exhibition presents work from a residency in which Martin Dieudonné merged performance with painting, presenting works born from live encounters built on presence, trust, intimacy, and consent. Using his own body as a tool, he erases the distance between himself and the model—exploring first encounters that echo queer cruising—while painting with spontaneity rather than control. Rooted in sessions with gay and queer community members, this growing family of portraits celebrates raw tenderness and vulnerability, where creative energy flows from friendship, sexual attraction, or the charge of an unexpected encounter.
🔵
**Somatographie der Intimität – End of Instinct Residency**
Artist: ***Martin Dieudonné***
**Kostenlos, keine Anmeldung erforderlich**
Fur **LGBTIAQ+**
Diese Ausstellung zum Ende der Residenz zeigt Arbeiten aus einer Residency, in der Martin Dieudonné Performance und Malerei miteinander verschmolzen hat. Die Werke sind aus Live-Begegnungen zwischen Künstler und Modell entstanden, die auf Präsenz, Vertrauen, Intimität und Konsens beruhen. Mit seinem eigenen Körper als Werkzeug überwindet er die übliche Distanz zwischen sich und dem Modell – erforscht erste Begegnungen, die an queeres Cruising erinnern – und malt mit Spontaneität statt Kontrolle. Die wachsende Familie von Porträts, verwurzelt in Sessions mit schwulen und queeren Community-Mitgliedern, feiert rohe Zärtlichkeit und Verletzlichkeit, wobei die kreative Energie aus Freundschaft, sexueller Anziehung oder der Spannung einer unerwarteten Begegnung fließt.
Jhana Meditation for Beginners
The course will start this Saturday at 10am. It will be in studio R at CCB studios. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46). Buzz for CCB studios and then walk through to the second courtyard. We will try to start right around 10. There will be tea available.
Please dress in comfortable clothes, maybe wearing a few layers. Theres some blankets, yoga mats, cushions and chairs in the room that you can use.
The plan will be for us to do some small discussions at the top and then start discussing theory before doing some meditations of increasing length and then closing with some time for Q & A. We will take a short break in the middle as well. The plan is to go from 10-12 roughly but we may end a little closer to 11:30 depending.
This week will function primarily as a simple introduction to meditation and some topics in the space but we will also discuss what the Jhanas are.
Looking forward! Any questions please just message me.

[face to face] professional communication exercise
Join this Professional Communication session — to sharpen the skills for architectural pitches, elevator pitches, interviews. This time we meet in the Monbijou park.
💡 How it works
The event is split into two parts:
1. **Communication (10 minute rounds)** – One participant answers a round of design and behavioral questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one question.
2. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged.
💡You will be asked:
* **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code)
* **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”)
No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind.
💡Note: location is the entrance to Monbijou park
Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
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.**

Systemische Aufstellung für HSP am 31. Mai
Kennst Du das Gefühl, dass irgendetwas Dich zurückhält, dass Du immer wieder Dinge machst, von denen Du weißt, dass sie Dir nicht gut tun? Würdest Du gerne stärker in Deine Kraft kommen, mehr Du selbst sein und alte Verhaltensmuster ablegen?
Dann lade ich Dich herzlich ein, mal Aufstellungsarbeit aufzuprobieren, um nachzuschauen, ob es in Deinem Familiensystem Themen gibt, die Dich davon abhalten, Deine Energie voll zu entfallten.
Bitte melde Dich rechtzeitig an, insbesondere wenn Du ein eigenes Thema mitbringst und selbst aufstellen möchtest.
Die 120 Euro Teilnahme-Gebühren (25 Euro für Stellvertreter\*innen) sind ein Kennenlern-Angebot, da ich momentan noch in Ausbildung bin.

We will walk first for about one hour from Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz towards Pfaueninsel. Then we take a short ferry ride to the the island. The ferry ticket (valid for both ways) cost 6 Euro and includes the entry fee of the island. Together we will explore the island and find a place to sit, preferably on the lawn or by the water.
It's best to bring something to sit on, like a blanket or yoga mat. We can play some cards, have a picnic, or just talk about your favorite HSP topic.
We will leave the island at 6 pm and then head back to S-Bahnhof Wannsee (probably with the bus nr. 218).

Sonic Journey
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.*

Men's Group meetup
**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. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Free In-person Meeting: Unwanted Emotions & Loneliness, How to Get Over Them
This is an in-person meeting.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance.
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues.
So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them?
That is what this meeting will be all about.
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.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
