Meet like-minded people, get authentic meditation instructions and hang out in our beautiful Buddhist meditation center in the west of Berlin! The practice of meditation is a simple, yet profound practice that helps us to connect with ourselves and gives us tools to release experiences of distraction, agitation, and stress. In the Buddhist tradition, meditation is more than just a way to end the mind´s distraction - it is what helps us to bring our mind home to its true nature. What better way to experience the colourful facets of meditation than with a group of like-minded people? Hence our open meditation sessions always have a social element as well - we like to have a tea and share about our meditation experiences, or whatever else we want to explore. There is also always the chance to ask questions to our experienced meditation instructors. These sessions are held in English and open to everyone - complete beginners as well as those with more experience. The sessions are every week on Friday at 17:00-18:30.

Wir setzen uns in einen entspannten Trance-Zustand und reisen zur gewünschten Transformation/Veränderung des eigenen Lebens. Dabei aktivieren wir die Ressourcen/Kräfte/Stärken, die dafür gebraucht werden, und die schon längst da sind: "Die Ressourcen, die du brauchst, findest du in deiner eigenen Geschichte" - Milton Erickson, der Vater der modernen Hypno-Therapie. Ich bin zertifizierte systemische Life & Business Coachin und arbeite u.a. mit dem Milton-Modell, um in einer Fantasiereise die Aufmerksamkeit nach Innen zu richten und den Zielzustand mit allen Sinnen zu erleben. Diese Form des Hypno-Coachings hilft durch unterstützte Aufmerksamkeitsfokussierung, sich in körperlich und geistig entspannte Zustände zu begeben. Je nach Tiefe der Entspannung kann man in Trance kommen. Trance ist ein ganz natürlicher Zustand (z.B. wenn man dieselbe Strecke wie im Auto-Pilot-Modus fährt) und ruft gut erforschte physiologische Veränderungen hervor wie Muskelentspannung, langsames Atmen, Abnehmen der Stresshormone. Gewünschte Zielzustände können in Trance intensiver erlebt und für positive Veränderungen nutzbar gemacht werden. **Ablauf:** \- 10 Min: Wir machen es uns auf den Matten gemütlich und machen eine kurze Runde \(wer mag\) "Wer bist du? Was möchtest du erreichen?" \- 20 Min: Wir legen uns bequem hin\. Ich führe mit anleitenden Worten durch eine Meditation hin zu einem angenehmen Trance\-Zustand\. \- 15 Min: Im Anschluss geht jede:r für sich in den Transfer "Was wäre ein guter nächster Schritt\, um dem erlebten Ziel näher zu kommen?" **Prinzipien:** \- Jede:r teilt nur das\, was er/sie möchte\. Niemand muss was sagen\. \- Der Raum ist geschützt\. Alles Geteilte bleibt im Raum\. **Mitbringen:** \- Stift \+ Zettel zum Notieren von Gedanken/Ideen/Erfahrungen **Mehr Infos zu mir:** [https://dr-anne-losert.de/](https://dr-anne-losert.de/)

The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014.

In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

\#\#\# Was ist Breathwork? Conscious Breathwork bedeutet bewusstes atmen. Und das ist es letztendlich auch, was wir etwa 70 Minuten lang machen werden. In einer Breathwork Session geht es vor allem darum, dass Du loslassen, Dich entspannen und mit Dir selbst und Deinem Unterbewusstsein verbinden kannst. Das geht am besten, in dem Du gar nichts erwartest und nicht so viel dadrüber nachdenkst. ✨ \#\#\# Das erwartet Dich Nach einem kurzen Check-In beginnen wir mit der Session. Die Atmung kann im Liegen oder Sitzen statt finden, ganz nach Deiner Wahl. Du wirst durch ein bewegendes Musikset geführt, wodurch Du in eine Trance-Atemmeditation gelangst. Hier kannst Du unter anderem diese Erfahrungen machen: Stress abbauen, herausfinden, was da noch in Dir steckt, Dein Potential entfalten, innere Anspannungen lösen oder unterdrückte Emotionen freilassen, in Dich hinein horchen und Lösungen finden, Kreative Ideen und Visionen erhalten oder einfach eine berührende Zeit haben. \#\#\# Über Nina Seit 2015 bin ich [Anusara® Elements™](https://www.anusarayoga.com/) Yogalehrerin. Es folgten viele Weiterbildungen in den Bereichen Chakren, Meditation, Yoga und Trauma. 2018 habe ich mich zudem auf die Heldenreise begeben. Seit 2023 bin ich Atemtherapeutin Conscious Breathwork nach der [Lichtatmung®](https://naou.de/lichtatmung/) und freue mich sehr, Dich bei Deiner Reise begleiten zu dürfen. In meine Sessions fließen meine unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen ein. Was mich jedoch am meisten bewegt: Mich begeistert alles, was Dich mehr bei Dir selbst ankommen lässt, Dich mit Deiner Lebendigkeit und vor allem Deinem Herzen verbindet! \#\#\# Bitte mitbringen: – Yogamatte oder andere Unterlage (z.B Isomatte), damit Du es schön gemütlich hast – Lockere, angenehme Kleidung – Alles andere, was Dich noch wohlfühlen lässt.

Always a fashion enthusiast, she wore latex once and everything changed. She was suddenly able to connect with her body in a way she had never experienced before, finding a freedom that, much like with comedy, helps her live authentically.

**Step right up for a fortune-telling experience that's barely accurate, but definitely unforgettable.** Magdalena, the "fortune teller", combines a crystal ball, questionable predictions and a healthy dose of dark humour in a show that's as absurd as it is entertaining. Described by the 'Scotsman' (top newspaper in the UK) as 'unexpected, clever, ridiculous but great stuff, crystal ball and all', this interactive comedy has left audiences worldwide laughing and wondering what just happened. Some say it's life-changing, others call it pure nonsense-but no one escapes without a few laughs, some spirit summoning and answers you probably didn't want. **Sold out run in Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025** Reserve your seat for just €2, and at the end of the show, you decide what it was worth (suggested contribution: €10-15).

A nourishing space for self-reflection and growth. Explore the principles of Tantra through direct experience and **welcome a more liberated version of yourself.** Living Tantra is a workshop series created for those who wish to deepen their exploration of Tantra. Inspired by ancient Tantric philosophy, each gathering takes us into a new theme through embodiment, meditation, energy practices and more. These sessions are for anyone who’s curious about **Tantra as a path for healing, expansion and connection.** Whether you are looking for an opportunity to explore yourself in a deeper way, to connect authentically with others, to find wholesome nourishment or, to be inspired; this Living Tantra workshop series provides a regular moment of connection with yourself, with others and with the teachings of Tantra. **💓**This time, we’ll explore the opening of the Heart as the main practice of modern and classical Tantra. The heart is the core of your being. It is through the heart that you connect with yourself, others and divinity. When your heart is open, you invite in spirit, love and the experience of oneness. When it is closed, you’ll experience disconnection and separation. Tantra teaches you to notice the subtle shifts between an open and a closed heart - inviting you to bring in presence, breath and compassion to the moments when you shut down, so you can gently open again. An open heart does not make you vulnerable but rather holds the alchemy to transform suffering into love - your own, and that of those around us. Come explore the practice of heart opening. Experience the power it holds and tap into the universal heart! **In this edition of Living Tantra, you will be invited to:** 🔸Explore the practice of heart-opening 🔸Experience the power of an open-heart 🔸Discover how heart-opening is at the core of spiritual practice **What to expect** 🔹Introduction to the role of heart-opening within Tantra 🔹Warm up, get to know the group, practice setting boundaries, agreement on consent 🔹Curated heart-centred journey designed to guide you deeper 🔹Well balanced program with solo-, partner- and group practices 🔹New practices (for those that have been to my other formats) 🔹Explore and experience heart-opening 🔹Conscious non-sexual touch (if this is within your consent) 🔹A cosy and comfortable studio 🔹A short break to have a meal or snack (bring yourself) **Expected benefits** These journeys offer a space for self-reflection and growth. The growth that happens in this space allows for a more liberated sense of self outside of the space. You are likely to emerge with a renewed sense of connection and peace. **Good to know** * The entire journey is clothed * Maximum 16 participants **What to bring** * Comfortable clothing * Water bottle * Meal or snack **Tickets: 85€** [Please book your spot here.](https://www.sophieheldens.com/calendar/tantra-events-berlin/living-tantra-workshops-heart-opening?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=livingtantraheart) **📍** **Praxis Köpi** Köpenicker Straße 175 10997 Berlin Kreuzberg Walk to the second courtyard and take the stairs to the front door on the left **Please note:** Praxis Köpi is located on the 5th floor and there is no elevator available.

Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time !!** Once we start the session, I can’t let you in anymore because it disturbs the class. Please do yourself and the group a favour by coming on time. Thank you! **About the facilitator** Hi! My name is Sophie. My passion for Tantra is rooted in a deep spiritual yearning and an inner knowing that Tantra is my path. My desire to teach Tantra has been sparked by having witnessed my own growth and healing as a result of these practices and it is inspired by a vision to create a more beautiful world. I create a space that is loving and nurturing, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that you feel save and supported. My workshops are gentle yet transformative, spiritual yet grounded and always heart-centered. I'm passionate about bridging the wisdom of ancient Tantra with modern-day practices. For more information, feel free to visit my website: [www.sophieheldens.com](http://www.sophieheldens.com) **Upcoming themes & dates** **💓 06.06**. Heart-opening: expand your capacity for love 🌹**29.08** Sensuality: awaken your ecstatic self *(stay tuned for other themes: Love, Consciousness, Non-Duality, Desire)* *PS. despite seemingly low attendance on Meetup, these events always take place with sufficient participants unless communicated differently*

**NVC & BOUNDRIES** ***Weekend Workshop*** What a delicate human moment it is — the one in which someone says or receives a “no.” “Can we make love?” — No. “Would you like to go for a coffee with me?” — No. “Would you like to work together?” — No. It takes such vulnerability to voice a request — to courageously share your heart and its dreams. And it takes just as much courage to stay true to yourself, not to please the other at the cost of your own authenticity. So often we end up saying *yes* when we actually mean *no* — because we’re afraid of losing connection, or because “it’s the right thing to do.” This weekend is an exploration of those delicate moments — their depth, their vulnerability, and the dynamics they reveal.We’ll begin by discovering our own boundaries and what truly matters to us, since so much confusion and pain arise when we don’t even know where our boundaries are. We’ll learn to say *no* in a way that is authentic, safe, and connecting. We’ll learn how to receive a *no* without betraying the vulnerability that comes with it. We’ll learn how to transform the moment of giving or receiving a *no* from a wall into the beginning of a meaningful dialogue — one where *you can be you, and I can be me*, together. “Words are windows, or they’re walls.” — *Marshall Rosenberg* **Teaching Style** Expect minimum 50-70% practice and exercises, demonstrations and other interactive ways to engage, and the rest it’s gonna be theory. **When?** 6 -7 June 2026 Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 - 17:30 **Daily schedule:** **Saturday** Arrival: From 9:30 Morning Workshop / Practice space: 10-13 Lunch: 13 - 14:15 Afternoon Workshop / Practice space: 14:15 - 17:30 **Sunday** Arrival: From 9:30 Morning Workshop / Practice space: 10-13 Lunch: 13 - 14:15 Afternoon Workshop / Practice space: 14:15 - 16:00 Financial Co-Responsibility Circle: 16:15 - 17:30 Goodbyes: Until 18:30 We’ll have organic breaks to support us through the schedule. **Where?** Braschzeile 12-14, 14109 Berlin (Wannsee). For this 2 days workshop, we’ll be able to gather in the privacy and calmness of a house in Wannsee. A large garden with solemn old trees offers the grounding and space needed to gently move into the vulnerability to meet ourselves and each other at our boundaries and in the pain of where they’ve been crossed. *It’s possible to sleep on site for a limited amount of people, priority it’s given to who comes from out of town.* **Experience**: No previous experience it’s required, everyone is welcome. The exercises will allow deepening the NVC practice even when you already have experience with it. **Who is this for?** Space is limited to a group of 14 people. As we want to create a safe container to also explore our hurting parts, we would prefer people to join for the full weekend flow. If you can’t join the whole thing contact us and we’ll see if it’s fitting for you to join only one day or a part of the workshop. **Price?** This event is neither charged, nor free. We’re intending to create/ to play with a conscious systems-based approach to money and how it flows in between humans. We want resources to flow towards serving & nourishing life. As we are co-creating learning, developmental and healing spaces we want to care for what’s needed for people to attend as well as for what’s needed so that we can continue to co-create such spaces. That’s why we’ll offer two systems of distributing (monetary) resources in between the people present in an attempt to make this event financially sustainable for everyone. **About the food** Lunches will be prepared in advance, let us know of any special food allergies **Register** To register, please fill [this form](https://forms.gle/2Dwkhm9JfM2WEPKv6). **YOUR FACILITATORS** **Martina Pesce** Hi, I'm Martina. I came in contact with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) through a relationship where I started to grasp the beauty of this tool. After 3 years of self-study and occasional practice, I was touched by how this communication allowed me to connect with my mum in conflict, so strongly that I felt love for her for the first time in 20 years. Unsatisfied with the lack of mental health support in the neuroscience research field, I decided to switch careers and dive deep into NVC. I trained as a mediator, counsellor and trainer at the Connecting2life school (Yoram Mosenzon). It was a two-year-long process of embodying the tool and then learning how to transmit it so that it could sink in the body. For a year I've been holding my workshops, courses and 1:1 practice. My approach is based on practice and embodiment. I found NVC very revolutionary and with that respect, I like to let sink in our system a few bits of info at the time, rather than an overwhelming waterfall of theory. **Matthias Flury** Hi. My name is Matthias. To be honest with you, I’m incredibly hesitant to write this short biography about myself. Part of the resistance comes from a fear of not being enough - it’s an insecurity that often comes alive since for many years of my life my need for connection wasn’t met, no matter what I tried. Out of this experience I’m shy to show and present myself, even to an unknown reader, to not go through the pain of rejection again. Another source for this hesitation is that I’ve got an idea of how I need to present myself here as a teacher. “I need to sell myself well and in a way that will make you trust me and curious to learn from me”. And I’m worried that I’ll try to perform as something I’m not in order to achieve that. Underneath the pressure of trying to be perfect I’m certain I’ll lose something incredibly important. I’ll lose connection to myself and with that any hope of actually contributing value to you. That’s why I’ll start this introduction of myself like this. I’m looking forward to meeting you and exploring together how we can connect to our feelings and unknown desires. How we can hold space and lovingly meet each other exactly where we are in our authentic selves. This is the place where relationships gain intimacy and depth, where love grows and where life begins to make sense. Just in case you actually want to know about my background: I started learning about NVC in 2019, took my first lessons with Empathie Stadt Zurich in 2020, and completed my education in 2023 with a course about teaching and embodying NVC by CNVC-Trainer Yoram Mosenzon. I regularly support NVC-teachers as an assistant in their courses and occasionally teach myself.

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B What does it mean to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world? In this gathering, we'll continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount from a mystical perspective. Together we’ll explore Matthew 5:13–16, looking not only to the passage as moral instruction, but also to the deeper transformation of consciousness that Jesus invites. Together we'll reflect on how spiritual awakening changes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.
