Mindful and Intuitive Eating

**🦥 Effortlessness and effortless Practice 🦥** “*It is not what you do, but what you stop doing that matters. [...] In peace and silence the skin of the ‘I’ dissolves and the inner and the outer become one. The real sadhana is effortless.*” (Nisargadatta Maharaj) **One of the fundamental opposites on the spiritual path are effort and effortlessness. The more advanced the practice, the more effortlessness becomes an important quality in the practice. At the same time, most practicioners make a lot of effort on the path.** **Let's meet and share for an afternoon on the topic of effortlessness and effortless practice and it's balance with effort.** “*When you are trying too hard, your effort becomes mechanical, and that defeats mindfulness before it even gets started. [...] Drop your expectations and straining. Simply meditate with a steady and balanced effort. Enjoy your meditation and [...t]he meditation itself will take care of the future.*” (Bhante Gunaratana) 💫 **What this event offers for you:** *Guided Meditations for arriving, calming the mind and tuning into your intuition - Meeting people interested in spirituality (all levels) *Safe Space for sharing - non-hierarchical and non-judgemental - Opportunity to ask just about any question **👀 You may watch one or few of the following Videos for inspiration:** * Adyashanti on effortless effort: [https://youtu.be/0ZxRrfZTj9I?is=jTGL1qspGosYmxch](https://youtu.be/0ZxRrfZTj9I?is=jTGL1qspGosYmxch) * Angelo Dilullo on "Simply always awake": [https://youtu.be/l2LZvO9wotM?is=AGxDMQem6AL2MJAn](https://youtu.be/l2LZvO9wotM?is=AGxDMQem6AL2MJAn) * Dean Sluyter on the Guru Viking Podcast "on "Effortless Awakening": [https://youtu.be/hWn63b4f490?is=tHMv8coTga2jhci5](https://youtu.be/hWn63b4f490?is=tHMv8coTga2jhci5) * Mingyur Rinpoche on effortless meditation: [https://youtu.be/2va3j-Ub3B0?is=lE3T-MMxF8eFpQeH](https://youtu.be/2va3j-Ub3B0?is=lE3T-MMxF8eFpQeH) * Swami Sarvapriyananda on effortless meditation: [https://youtu.be/1GkNIs3H2OA?is=HVcNEgoYuasFuNHb](https://youtu.be/1GkNIs3H2OA?is=HVcNEgoYuasFuNHb) * Shinzen Young on "strong determination sitting": [https://youtu.be/xVUtUguRc5s?is=YWH_wRWTJb3Ooqc5](https://youtu.be/xVUtUguRc5s?is=YWH_wRWTJb3Ooqc5) * Sadhguru on "Meditation is effortless": [https://youtu.be/7uV-dZuxAXg?is=yiKvnjwUsUFOQ7oM](https://youtu.be/7uV-dZuxAXg?is=yiKvnjwUsUFOQ7oM) **🧘 About the Organizer** Martin is a certified Mindfulness Teacher, Systemic Coach, Yogi and Altruist by heart who teaches Meditation and Martial Arts in different formats. However, in this meetup Martin focuses on the altruistic intention to open a space for people to share while offering as much facilitation as needed in the moment. “*What is the use of truth, goodness, harmony, beauty? They are their own goal. They manifest spontaneously and effortlessly, when things are left to themselves, are not interfered with, not shunned, or wanted, or conceptualized, but just experienced in full awareness. Such awareness itself is sattva. It does not make use of things and people — it fulfils them.*” (Nisargadatta Maharaj)

CLOSER x-dance is open to all, creating a safe(r) space for different horizons, sexual orientations and experiences. ***No previous experience required.*** **✦ WHAT IS CLOSER x-dance ✦** CLOSER x-dance is a dedication to unshackling any chains that teach us to separate our inherent er-t\*c aliveness from the rest of ourselves.

Workshop \| **Nur für Frauen** \| 28\.03\.2026 \| 11:00 – 13:30 Nach einer kurzen Einstimmung und einer Stärkung durch ein entspanntes vegetarisches Frühstück mit gutem Tee widmen wir uns unseren Träumen und Wünschen und bringen sie auf die Leinwand. In diesem **Kreativ- und Malkurs in Berlin** laden wir Dich ein, Deinen inneren Bildern Raum zu geben und sie in Farbe und Form sichtbar zu machen. Welche Träume möchten wachsen? Welche Sehnsucht möchte sich zeigen? Beim Malen darf alles entstehen – ob weich und pastellig oder kraftvoll und farbenfroh. Der Prozess des Malens kann der erste Schritt zur Manifestation Deines großen Wunsches sein.

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.**

💚**This is a paid event. Read the full description for all info.** Do you need a break from this noisy, fast-paced and, at the moment, very overwhelming world? Then you’re very welcome to join the Soul Care Circle. A space where you can simply be yourself, amongst people who focus on inner growth, mindfulness and genuine connection.

Wenn die ersten Lichtfäden des Frühlings die Erde berühren, beginnen Samen zu pulsieren und Knospen öffnen sich behutsam dem Leben. So wie die Natur ihre verborgenen Kräfte nach außen trägt, laden wir auch unsere inneren Samen ein, ans Licht zu treten – und erlauben unseren eigenen Knospen, zu erblühen. Begleitet von Maria Illgen und Stefanie Ritter-Hußlein tauchen wir gemeinsam in diesen zarten Übergang ein. *** **Was nehme ich mit?** Die Teilnehmer\*innen nehmen wertvolle Impulse und Erfahrungen für ihre berufliche Praxis oder private Anwendung mit – ob in Seiki, Shiatsu oder jeder anderen Begleitpraxis. Wir alle kehren mit genährten Ressourcen zurück, die unser Leben im Alltag tragen und vertiefen. *** **Was dich erwartet** In diesem Workshop öffnen wir einen achtsamen Raum, in dem du dich wie eine Knospe im ersten Frühlingslicht entfalten kannst. Dich erwartet ein Tag, der ganz dem Lauschen und dem natürlichen Erblühen gewidmet ist: · ein Ankommen in Absichtslosigkeit, das dich in einen Zustand stillen, wachen Gewahrseins führt · Katsugen Undō, die spontanen, regenerierenden Bewegungen, die aus dem inneren Atem des Körpers entstehen · Meditationen, die dich Schicht für Schicht näher an dein eigenes Erwachen heranführen · Gyoki, das feine Spiel atmender Hände, das Verbindung und Weite schafft · Seiki-Begegnungen, in denen Berührung aus Resonanz, Präsenz und natürlicher Stille erwächst · Körperübungen, die deine Wahrnehmung verfeinern und dir helfen, die zarten Signale des Frühlings auch in dir zu spüren *** Für alle, die sich auf die Tiefe und Präsenz dieser Praxis einlassen möchten – mit oder ohne Vorerfahrung.
