Join our welcoming **life drawing** session where participants are invited to both draw and model. A relaxed and respectful space for **creative exploration**. The **Cozy Session** is our most intimate format. We are fewer people (max. 10) and take a bit more time for everything. The atmosphere is calmer and we have even more focus on **presence, observation** and **connection**. All our events are **queer-friendly** and have a personal and inviting feel to them. Also we're very **beginner-friendly**: Whether you’re experienced or just curious to try life drawing for the first time — you are welcome. Generally participation in modeling is always **voluntary**, but in this format – since we're fewer people – It's more the idea **that everybody will have** the chance to pose. If you feel more insecure about this, maybe our other sessions are better for a start. **\>\> What to expect** • alternating drawing and modelling • short and medium poses (up to 15 min) • a warm, respectful group atmosphere **\>\> What to bring** • your drawing materials (we provide a basic range of high quality artist materials) • Something small to drink or snack on, though we‘ll have some snacks • your time (Please be punctual because we want to start all together) **\>\> Tickets** Our prices range from **16€ to 26€**, depending on your financial possibilities. Please book your ticket here on **[Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985134012269?aff=oddtdtcreator).** You can also click **RSVP here on Meetup** to let the group know you’re coming. We look forward to drawing with you!

### ***This is a closed course that can only be booked and attended as a whole.*** ***So it’s best to join one of the other sMove! trainings beforehand – either on Thursdays in the park or online on Saturdays: [www.baerbelsinger.de/smove ](www.baerbelsinger.de/smove)*** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ### Sensing and Expanding 🌿 sMove! invites you to expand your sensations and ways of expression through the body. The movements are simple and playful – yet they go deep: by moving with awareness, you discover qualities within yourself that are often covered by habit or tension. ### The Body as a Container 🌀 The body is more than muscles and bones – it is a container of memories, energy, and possibilities. In sMove! training, we explore this potential through rhythm, new movements, and focused attention. Each movement becomes an opportunity to sense more clearly, to shift old patterns, and to unfold new qualities – vitality, calm, presence, joy. ### Clarity through Intention 🎯 What makes sMove! special is not performance or perfection, but the direct experience of your body paired with intention, precision, and letting go. When you allow your body to guide you, space opens: your mind becomes quieter, energy can flow, aliveness grows. sMove! strengthens you inside and out – with more flexibility, strength, and ease. ### Experiencing Community 🤝 In the group, connection arises. Everyone moves in their own way – and yet we resonate with the shared rhythm. This collective presence builds trust in your own strength, encourages curiosity, and makes it easier to try something new. ### Who is sMove! for? 🌍 sMove! is open to everyone – previous experience is recommended (feel free to ask). 15 sessions * **November 2025**: 11., 18. * **Dezember 2025**: 9., 16. * **Januar 2026**: 20., 27. * **Februar 2026**: 3., 10., 17., 24. * **März 2026**: 24., 31. * **April 2026**: 7., 14., 28. 💶 Fee Early Bird: 280€ Full package: **320 €**

This workshop is a fun and easy way to discover a past life that offers information that will benefit you in your present-day life. In this extended 3-hour workshop, Marije will guide you to a past life that holds valuable information for you. This session offers a fun and accessible way to experience hypnosis and uncover a past life using the QHHT technique, developed by the late Dolores Cannon. In this extended version, we don't just explore a past life and learn its lessons. We also journey into the far future to see what life awaits you there. Additionally, we will connect with one of your main spirit guides to receive a meaningful message and gift. No prerequisite training or specific belief system is required. You will be guided into a natural hypnotic state, where you will always remain in control. In this state, we can unlock doors within you that you didn't even know existed. All you need to attend this workshop is a healthy dose of curiosity and an open-mind. *Designed to be a fun and light-hearted experience, this workshop provides valuable insights. However, if you seek answers to profound life questions, a 1:1 Past Life Regression session may be more suitable. Many people choose to participate in a Past Life Regression workshop before booking a personalized 1:1 session.* [Watch this video](https://youtu.be/FqmBC4wjnFc "https://youtu.be/FqmBC4wjnFc") for more information on this workshop. **Please bring the following** * Notebook and pen * Water bottle * Eye mask (optional) **The studio provides** * Yoga Math * Blanket * Cushion **Best way to prepare** * Don’t drink any coffee or alcohol before the workshop * Make sure you eat beforehand * Wear comfortable clothing * Have no expectations and come with an open mind! **Your host** My name is Marije, which for most people looks pretty alien but it's only Dutch ;) I'm a QHHT Level 3 Past Life Regressionist located in Berlin, Germany. I offer these Past Life Regression Workshops but my main job is my 1:1 Past Life Regressions. For more info check out my website. Or got any questions? Feel free to email me.

Free at Bexley Library Adventures in Ecological Horticulture with Rebecca McMackin Wednesday, March 18 1:00pm - 2:30pm Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens. Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically. Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden. She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY. Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches. She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.
