If you feel disconnected from your body, experience tension, or deal with symptoms that no one really explains — this workshop is for you. This session is designed ***for women*** who: – experience pain or discomfort during intimacy – notice leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising – feel tightness in the chest, hips, or lower body – struggle to feel or activate their core and pelvic floor – feel constant tension and don’t know how to release it These are more common than you think — and they’re not something you just have to live with. **What we will do:** This is not a typical workout. We will use slow, mindful techniques to reconnect you with your body and rebuild that lost connection step by step. During the workshop, you will: – learn how to breathe properly and understand where your breath should go – work on rib mobility and learn how to “close the ribs” and support your core – reconnect your breath with your pelvic floor – explore how to feel your pelvic floor in movement – learn how to relax, stretch, and also gently activate these muscles – use simple self-massage techniques to release deep tension in the body The goal is not to push harder — but to feel more. **What to expect:** – a safe, supportive, women-only environment – a small group (max 12 participants) – clear explanations (you will understand what you’re doing and why) – a calm, slow-paced session focused on awareness and real change No prior experience needed. **Practical details:** – Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move and relax freely – Duration: 75 minutes (16:30 – 17:45) – The workshop is led by a professional former ballerina and fitness coach with over 8 years of experience [paleyfit](https://www.instagram.com/paleyfit/) The event take place in the yoga studio Mindful Life Berlin, Gleimstrasse 19, 10437

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.*

Workshop \| 31\.05\.2026 \| 16:00 – 18:30 Nach einer ruhigen Einstimmung und einem entspannten vegetarischen Frühstück mit gutem Tee widmen wir uns dem Thema **innere Freiheit** und malen das Meer. In diesem **Kreativ- und Malkurs in Berlin** verbinden wir intuitives Malen mit Achtsamkeit und Weite. Das Meer steht für Bewegung, Tiefe und Weite.

Wie das Meer in ständiger Bewegung ist und doch Ruhe ausstrahlt, dürfen auch wir Weite, Gelassenheit und innere Freiheit spüren. Farben, Formen und die beruhigende Weite helfen dabei, zu entspannen und neue Klarheit zu gewinnen. Vorkenntnisse sind nicht nötig – nur die Bereitschaft, Dich auf diesen **Malkurs in Berlin** einzulassen und Dich von der Weite des Meeres inspirieren zu lassen. **Ein Workshop, der öffnet, beruhigt und frei macht.** Ablauf: Nach einem kleinen Input zum Thema „Innere Freiheit“ – bei Tee und einem liebevollen Frühstück – tauchen wir ein in die sanfte Welt des intuitiven Malens vom Meer.

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.**

*There are always more participants coming as regulars or from other platforms than shown here* \-\-\- We invite you to join our weekly Evenings of Meditation, to gently meet yourself, dissolve stress and live life from beautiful inner states, like calm, joy and connection. These gatherings are not just about meditating on your own, but a step inward we take together. Each time we’ll look into a particular topic in the light of timeless wisdom, reflect on it in a guided meditation, do powerful Oneness practices for greater wellbeing, and experience Deeksha - which helps to speed up your inner growth. **This week's topic: Knowing Yourself** Do we know who we are? Sometimes we can be very certain about our ideas of our identity, other times we lose clarity about it. None of these help us flow with life. So let’s explore how we can know ourselves better and how this helps us. For more info see: [www.onenessberlin.com](http://www.onenessberlin.com/) 🎟️ **Entry**: € 10 for walk-ins (in cash or PayPal) just for us to pay for the space or **[get a ticket from € 5 >](https://momence.com/l/WQhWQzBB)** 📍**Where**: Yoga Sky, Am Tempelhofer Berg 7d, 10965 Berlin Follow the Yoga Sky signs in the yard, and take the elevator to the top floor. 🗓 **When**: Sunday, 31st of May, 19:00 - 20:30 Please arrive 5-10 min earlier to settle down. You’re welcome, no matter your background or experience. This is what has worked for us over many years and we love to share it with you. Looking forward to see you, Oneness Berlin Florian & Jazgul

Dear all, I'll be subbing a Fluentbody class at Dharma Studios this Sunday at 14:30. You can sign-up using Urban Sports https://www.urbansportsclub.com/nl/activities?class=101239840 or at Dharma Studios directly: https://www.dharmastudios-berlin.com/neukoelln. If money is an issue, feel free to write me. Looking forward to see some of you there! Best, Elsabeth **Fluentbody™** is a somatic movement practice that invites you to reconnect with your body and the present moment. Guided by breath, music, and awareness, you’re encouraged to move intuitively—led by sensation rather than thought. It’s not about how it looks, but how it feels. Each session unfolds as a shared journey with a clear intention, supporting authentic movement beyond ideas of right or wrong. The practice can be grounding and energising, helping release tension, awaken sensation, and explore both softness and strength. No movement or dance experience is needed. Wear comfortable clothing you can move in (layers recommended). We move barefoot or in socks.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**.
