Tauche ein in die wohltuende Welt des *Heilsamen Singens*! In der Singgruppe erleben wir gemeinsam, wie einfache, wiederholende Lieder mit positiven Texten Herz und Seele berühren. Du musst kein*e geübte*r Sänger\*in sein – beim heilsamen Singen geht es nicht um Leistung, sondern um Verbindung, Freude und Entspannung. Teils sanfte, teils kraftvolle Klänge und Melodien laden dich ein, den Alltagsstress hinter dir zu lassen, bei dir selbst anzukommen und neue Lebensfreude zu spüren. Beim gemeinsamen Singen entsteht innere Ruhe, dein Immunsystem wird gestärkt – und auf liebevolle Weise entsteht Verbindung untereinander. Komm, wie du bist – mit deiner Stimme, deinem Atem, deinem Herzen. Lass dich tragen vom Klang und entdecke die heilende Kraft des Singens. Wir freuen uns auf dich! Wo: Offenes Wohnzimmer Moabit Wann: jeden 3. Freitag im Monat 19:00 Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis Um die Planung zu erleichtern, melde Dich gerne an unter: [kontakt@heilsames-singen-berlin.de](mailto:kontakt@heilsames-singen-berlin.de) (Wer spontan kommen kann, ist natürlich ebenso willkommen!) Hei, ich bin Gesa, Sängerin, Gesangspädagogin und zertifizierte Singleiterin für Heilsames Singen. Nach über 20 Jahren als Opern- und Konzertsängerin liegt mein Fokus heute auf dem „Heilsamen Singen“. Mir liegt am Herzen, das Singen wieder in unseren Alltag zu holen. Weil es uns mit unserem innersten Menschsein verbindet, weil es Herz und Seele berührt – und weil es ein kleiner, aber kraftvoller Beitrag zu mehr Freude, Wärme und Menschlichkeit in unserer Welt ist.

Join us for an intimate 7-course dining experience, designed to connect souls, where every ingredient has a lineage, and every bite begins a journey. For over 2,500 years, the river Ganga hasn’t just been a river - it’s been a witness to civilizations, empires, trade, migration, spirituality… and everyday life. And food - quietly, consistently - has flowed alongside it. Handcrafted by a native Indian cook, each dish you’ll taste comes from a different place along this River, and we’ll also immerse ourselves in the stories, heritage, and local nuances of each destination. Think of it as gently taking a boat downstream - starting in the mountains, and ending in the lush delta. **NOTES:** (1) Paid Event: 55€ per guest. To book your place, please pay 20€ in advance at: https://revolut.me/alejanvyzp?currency=EUR&amount=2000&note=ROOTED%20KITCHEN%20EVENT%2016.05.26 **Please sign up only if you are sure to attend.** 2) Non-alcoholic drinks and waters are included. (3) If you have any food allergies, please let us know 48 hours in advance (4) Late cancellations or no-shows will be deleted from the group immediately. Thanks for your understanding.
