### **MOUNTAINS – Stories about the climb** ### **Live Storytelling Night (Berlin)** “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” — Edmund Hillary Some mountains are made of rock. Some are made of doubt, distance, language, love, grief, ambition, or simply getting out of bed when things feel heavy. This May, THE BEAR invites you to an evening of true personal stories about going uphill — about effort, resistance, resilience, and the quiet (or loud) voice that says: keep going. Our host, Izzy Ahrbeck, returns to Berlin fresh from the landscapes of Patagonia — where the mountains are wild, the wind is real, and every step reminds you that climbing is never just physical. Come as you are. Bring your uphill story. Or simply sit back and listen. We climb together. *** ### 🎤 What this event is An evening of **true, personal storytelling—told live on stage.** No scripts. No acting. No fiction. Just real people sharing real moments when life felt steep: * choosing the harder path * starting again from zero * pushing through thin air * reaching a summit that wasn’t what they expected * almost turning back Some stories will be funny. Some raw. All of them human. Music for the evening comes from Rory, adding sound and atmosphere to our climb. *** ### 💭 Why come? Because storytelling isn’t just entertainment—it’s connection. You’ll leave feeling: * more connected to others * reminded of your own experiences * maybe even inspired to tell your own story *** ### 🐻 How the evening works * **Open Stage** \- We randomly selected storytellers' name from our legendary top hat 👉 Want to tell a story? Put your name in the hat during the evening. First time? Even better. We’re known for being a welcoming space for new storytellers. *** ### 🎤 Want to prepare a story? If you’d like feedback before the event, you can send your idea to: 📩 hello@thebear-storytelling.de When booking, choose a **Storyteller Ticket** so we know you’re interested. 📍 **Venue:** Theatre Pool 📅 **Date:** May 21st 🕖 **Time:** 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm 🗣 Language: English (welcoming to all levels and backgrounds) *** ### [🎟 Tickets](https://www.thebear-storytelling.de/events/2026/05/21/mountains-stories-of-the-climb) Entry is **by donation** (Recommended: €15–20) https://www.thebear-storytelling.de/events/2026/05/21/mountains-stories-of-the-climb Give more if you can, less if you can’t. Everyone is welcome. *** ### 💬 Audience question of the night **Tell us about a time in your life when the path felt steep. What kept you climbing?** *** ### ✨ Final note Whether you’ve climbed mountains, careers, identities, relationships, or invisible inner walls — this night is for you. ## **Our Mission** ## *THE BEAR* **has grown into one of Berlin’s most beloved live storytelling events: a place where strangers become a community through the simple act of listening.** Supported by: [THE BEAR e.V. ](https://deref-web.de/mail/client/3fe0d0dh9KM/dereferrer/?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fthebear-storytelling.us6.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3Db5d7f087b587f8f081c447437%26id%3Dfc0e2d8df3%26e%3D711d4db9af), [Moving-Speaker.com](https://www.moving-speaker.com/), [Female Speaking Berlin](https://www.femalespeakingberlin.com/), and [Experience Berlin Youtube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@Berlin-Videos).

From the very beginning, I have immersed myself in a spiritual women’s group, which has been a profound source of support and growth. Yoga and Tantra Yoga have brought incredible balance, harmony, and a deeper understanding of myself, truly transforming my life. Throughout my journey with the traditional integral Yoga system, I’ve learned practical ways to bring calm and balance into daily life, even in challenging times. Completing my Tantra Yoga for Women Instructor Training was a turning point, as it allowed me to blossom in ways I hadn’t thought possible. Being surrounded by a nurturing sisterhood showed me the immense power of women uplifting one another, and I now feel called to share this path with other women who seek similar transformation. In this **Tantra Yoga for Women** group, I am excited to lead you through these teachings, helping you connect deeply with your feminine energy and support your blossoming into fullness and joy. Together, we’ll create a safe and sacred space where you can embrace your own potential, find balance, and build bonds with a supportive community of women. I look forward to sharing this journey with you! **Price per month** Normal: 30,00 € ***Note:*** Over Meetup you can only sign-up for the first month for 10,00 €.

**For couples that wish to bring a new level of depth and connection into their relationship.** Sign up via [sophieheldens.com](https://www.sophieheldens.com/berlin/tantra-weekend-workshop-for-couples/rise-in-love?utm_source=meetup&utm_campaign=riseinlove&utm_medium=eventpage) Rise in Love is a **two day Tantra weekend retreat for couples** in the city center of Berlin.

This is for every couple that longs to * Spend meaningful, uninterrupted time together with the sole purpose of truly connecting * Experience deeper intimacy on a physical, emotional and spiritual level * Invite more joy, playfulness, spontaneity and eros into your partnership * Strengthen your bond and feel more deeply alive and connected together * Feel whole and complete within yourself and in your relationship * Meet each other again with presence and authenticity * Explore new ways of being intimate together This Tantra couples immersion is a holistic initiation into Tantra for newcomers and offers a valuable deepening for more seasoned practitioners. Whether you’ve been together for years or are newly together - this weekend workshop is for any couple who want to **experience deeper intimacy, invite in more aliveness and meet themselves and the other more deeply.** #### What to expect: * Understand Tantra through discourse and experience it through practice * Well balanced program with a variety of partner practices (see below) * A curated journey designed to guide you deeper * A sensitively and lovingly held container * Cosy and comfortable studio * Small group with max. 5 other couples (**all** couples welcome!) #### Tools and practices that you’ll explore together * Eye-gazing: How often do you truly look into each other’s eyes? Such a simple practice opens the doorway to immense depth. Let yourself be seen and notice what arises in this connection. Learn about yourself through the reflection of your partner and experience deeper intimacy. * Movement: Explore new movements together- whether through dance, play or guided practice. Allowing your body to move freely and intuitively gives space for spontaneity and joy to arise. Thoughts quieten and presence enters. Welcome home to your body * Partner meditation; connect heart to heart and experience connection beyond words by cultivating open-hearted presence * Energy practices; through the use of sound, breath, movement and focussed awareness you will tap into your life-force, opening your central energy channel and allowing for a free flow of energy. This is the basis for full body pleasure and for cultivating your sexual energy. Practicing together with your partner allows for a connection on all levels of being. * Ritual; honour your connection, invoke sacredness and a profound sense of closeness through Tantric ritual. Ritual provides a framework that supports you to drop deeper into open-hearted presence. It has the potency to invite in sacredness into your relationship and to express and renew your love, appreciation and respect for one another. * Massage / sacred touch: Explore the quality and power of touch when it comes from a place of deep presence and reverence. Your touch communicates your internal state and with that affects the internal state of your partner. It is meant to unite on a physical and spiritual level. * Conscious communication: Learn new tools for communicating. Listening carefully and speaking vulnerably about what is actually alive within allows for deep intimacy. Invite your partner into your inner-experience and hold space for theirs. Though we tend to speak often, how often are we fully present in our conversations? * #### Who is this for? This is for every couple that wishes to bring a new level of depth and connection into their relationship - emotionally, physically and spiritually. It is for couples that are looking for new ways of being intimate and are open to growing individually and together. Previous Tantra or meditation experience is not required but ideally you bring some spiritual curiosity. Also for more seasoned Tantra practitioners, this 2-day Tantra workshop is likely to expand your current understanding and practice. #### How your day will look like The total practice time each day is about 7 hours, divided over 3 practice blocks.
