This is the first gathering of the *Embodied Dissociation* meetup. The idea is simple: a small group of experienced meditators meeting outdoors in Berlin for structured, silent practice followed by discussion. The meeting place is **Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg**. The session will follow a fixed sequence with automatic timers: 10 minutes mettā, 20 minutes samatha, 30 minutes vipassanā. After the sit, there will be time for informal knowledge exchange—sharing observations, techniques, and approaches to practice. Bring something to sit on and dress for the weather. The format assumes prior meditation experience and the ability to sit quietly for the full duration.

Kuscheln für Frauen darf echt sein. Leicht. Tief. Bewegend. Hier darf Frau kichern, Nähe spüren und Kraft tanken. Es entsteht eine Verbindung, die nährt – achtsam, klar und wohltuend. Kuscheln kann vieles sein: spielerisch, ruhig, tief, warm oder einfach nur entspannend. Finde heraus, was dir gut tut. Wir – Ava & Melanie – begleiten dich durch deine Kuschelerfahrung in Berlin. Als ausgebildete Therapeutinnen mit einer tiefen Liebe für Körperarbeit, Verbindung und Präsenz schaffen wir Räume, in denen du dir selbst und anderen echt begegnen kannst – spielerisch, liebevoll, nährend.

Kuscheln ist immer freiwillig, respektvoll und im Einklang mit den vereinbarten Regeln. Unser Wunsch ist es, dir einen sicheren und achtsamen Raum zu eröffnen und zu halten, in dem du in respektvoller Atmosphäre Nähe, Berührung und Entspannung erleben kannst – ganz ohne Leistungsdruck oder sexuelle Absicht. Lachen, Weinen und Stille sind hier gleichermaßen willkommen. **ABLAUF** Wir starten mit einem gemeinsamen Ankommen, leiten dich durch Übungen zur Wahrnehmung und zur Einvernehmlichkeit von Berührung, bevor wir in die freie Kuschelzeit übergehen – je nach Wunsch in Gruppen, zu zweit oder in Ruhe für dich allein. **ORT** Berlin Weißensee Der genaue Ort wird dir nach Anmeldung bekannt gegeben. **ZEIT** 14.03.2026 17:00 – 20:00 Uhr (Einlass ab 16:35 Uhr, bitte sei pünktlich, nach 17 Uhr bleiben die Türen geschlossen.) **PREIS** Unsere Kuschelzeit bieten wir zum Preis von 35–45 Euro nach Selbsteinschätzung an.

These gatherings are not just about meditating on your own, but a step inward that we take together regarding a particular topic. This time we explore **Navigating challenges with ease**.

Interested? Contact Preston Moore k.preston.moore@gmail.com 614-300-5989 ———————————— Engaging in men’s work is the new way to forge friendships while being open-minded to personal growth. Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work. Open Men’s Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback. We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet. Visit ManKind Project USA to discover more. https://mkpusa.org/

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
