Science of Mind

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.**

The human habit of indulging or investing devotion, time and attention to something external is as old as civilisation. We may think that its slowly disappearing, but when observed carefully, its just changing forms. The discussion this time would be about how humanity's investment of time and attention rapidly shifted from gods to screens, from creation and contemplation to mindless consumption. Technology didn't replace religion, it became one. Instead of sacrificing a lamb, goat, horse or whatever, you sacrifice your time and sanity. We'll start with short introductions from everyone attending. The focus will be on historical, scientific and philosophical discussion rather than contemporary political debate (*you'll recognise me by my green hat)*

Bodhispace would like to invite you to a very special workshop: 'SELF -TUNING: Embodied Knowing' on Sunday, April 26, from 2-4 PM.💙☁️ What to expect We invite you for a Self-Tuning workshop, a practice designed to help participants access and hear the intelligence of their body sensations and mental imagery as the source of insight. Participants will explore how inner imagery - your imagination and bodily sensations can serve as source of insight and clarity. Through gentle, guided processes and exercises, a direction emerges from within, offering a quiet yet precise sense of orientation. Rather than focusing on performance, this workshop opens a space for a contact with what Winnicott described as the "true self," where clarity emerges through attention, awareness, and felt experience. Key takeaways \- Inner gazing \- Shift your attention from distractions into a deeper sense of awareness \- Hear\, see and work with the intelligence within \- inner imagery and feelings in the body \- that carry precise forms of knowing \- Cultivate your inner orientation \- Cultivation of your internal orientation as a foundation for clarity and coherence\. A Guided Practice It is not about analyzing or fixing but rather accessing and learning how to look inward. Rooted in the work of Desoille's Waking Dream Therapy, this practice uses imagery and sensation to access self-exploration and therefore more clarity. Who is it for By engaging with inner images and felt experience, a coherence begins to emerge, cultivating a more clear and grounded sense of self. Anyone willing to engage in an introspective practice in search for clarity.There is no expectation to perform or share beyond one's comfort. The structure supports inward exploration in a safe, contained way. About the facilitator🙋🏼‍♀️ Ana Mrovlje, mag. of psychotherapy science, is a practicing psychoanalyst in Slovenia with over 10 years of private practice experience. While the workshop draws on psychoanalytic thinking, it offers a distinct approach focused on cultivating self‑exploration and embodied knowing. This workshop plants a seed of connection with the self that continues to unfold beyond the session itself. Tickets below: early bird 17 EUR (limited amount), normal 27 EUR – Note: Promocode available for students, elders, etc.

**Вопрос (про)чтения** — это берлинский дискуссионный клуб для тех, кто интересуется наукой, философией и научпоп-литературой. Мы встречаемся примерно раз в месяц, каждый раз — с новой темой. Тема заранее объявляется в Telegram-канале: [https://t.me/+1RVY0Ld5ny8zYmZi](https://t.me/+1RVY0Ld5ny8zYmZi) К каждой встрече мы собираем подборку материалов (книги, статьи, лекции), чтобы можно было посмотреть на тему с разных сторон. Можно выбрать один материал из списка или принести свой — и обсудить его вместе с другими участниками. Формат встречи — живая дискуссия: участники делятся идеями, задают вопросы и вместе разбираются в теме. *** 📚 **Вопрос (про)чтения #11: Любовь сегодня: почему так сложно?** Одиннадцатый «Вопрос (про)чтения» по теме любви и романтических отношений. Обудим почему сегодня это так сложно? Что изменилось? Что говорит наука? ​После двух более теоретических и научных встреч мы решили обратиться к теме, с которой в той или иной форме сталкивался каждый. При этом нам важно обсудить её не в формате советов и популярных объяснений, а с опорой на философию, социологию и современные исследования. Нас интересует не то, как строить отношения, а то, что с ними происходит сегодня и почему. ​Современные данные показывают не самую простую картину: растёт количество одиночных домохозяйств, в том числе в крупных городах вроде Берлина; меняются ожидания от партнёров; появляются новые формы близости; усиливаются идеологические разрывы между людьми. Кто-то говорит о кризисе романтической любви, кто-то — о её трансформации. Вопрос в том, действительно ли мы стали меньше любить или просто иначе понимаем, что такое любовь и отношения. ​Предлагаем посмотреть что говорят данные, какие социальные и культурные изменения влияют на отношения и почему сегодня так сложно выстраивать устойчивую связь с другим человеком. Большинство материалов в подборке скорее описывают проблему и её причины, а возможные ответы мы будем искать уже в обсуждении. *** # ​**Материалы и направления подготовки** ​[Подборка материалов](https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sLJIzosmZs9xxP2lZsP321_ZYhhy638ubYuYLXbYPM/edit?usp=sharing&utm_source=luma) построена так, чтобы можно было рассмотреть тему с разных уровней — от философии до эмпирических исследований. **Можно выбрать один материал — читать всё не нужно.** ​Философская часть включает тексты о природе любви и отношений: * ​Эрих Фромм «Искусство любить» — о любви как навыке и форме зрелости; * ​Хан Бён-Чхоль «Агония Эроса» — о том, как современная культура подрывает возможность глубокой близости; * ​Мартин Бубер «Я и Ты» — о различии между подлинной встречей и отношением к другому как к объекту. ​Научные и научно-популярные материалы помогают понять, что именно происходит с отношениями сегодня: * ​Modern Relationships (ред. Mahzad Hojjat, Anne Moyer) — обзор современных форм отношений и выбора партнёров; * ​Ева Иллуз «Почему любовь ранит?» — социологический анализ трансформации романтической сферы; * ​Christian Rudder Dataclysm — о том, что данные дейтинг-платформ говорят о реальном поведении людей. ​Также в подборке есть научные статьи: * ​Elyakim Kislev — о жизни в одиночку и уровне удовлетворённости; * ​Wahring, Simpson, Van Lange — о различиях в значении отношений для мужчин и женщин; * ​Sharabi и др. — о влиянии дейтинг-приложений на психологическое состояние. ​Для входа в тему можно начать с лекции Максимилиана Неаполитанского, а в дополнительных материалах есть видео, подкасты и более лёгкие форматы. ​Ссылка полностью [https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sLJIzosmZs9xxP2lZsP321_ZYhhy638ubYuYLXbYPM/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.ob84xc2myy58](https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sLJIzosmZs9xxP2lZsP321_ZYhhy638ubYuYLXbYPM/edit?tab=t.0&utm_source=luma#heading=h.ob84xc2myy58) *** # ​**Формат встречи** ​Встреча предполагает предварительную подготовку. Пожалуйста, учитывайте это при регистрации. Каждому участнику будет отведено около 5 минут, чтобы рассказать: * ​что именно вы выбрали для чтения или просмотра, * ​какие идеи показались важными или спорными, * ​с чем вам хочется разобраться в обсуждении. *** # ​**Важно** * ​Мероприятие 16+ * ​Вход только по предварительной регистрации. * ​Встреча предполагает уважительное и внимательное общение: мы обсуждаем идеи, а не личности, даём друг другу договорить и сохраняем безопасную атмосферу для обмена мнениями.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
