Self-Directed Retirement Investing

Hello everyone, This event welcomes everyone curious about themselves and their life. Open to self enquiry, to ask questions, to search for answers, to share and to connect with others, with openness, honesty and vulnerability. Regardless of our differences, we are all alike in our humanness. No judgements, it is a safe space to read and to reflect. We are here to hold space for one another. For our first event we'll be taking the guidance for the discussion from a one of a kind book and a bestseller at that, Truth Without Apology written by Acharya Prashant. The book comprises of 1 page chapters bringing together philosophy, spirituality and psychology in such a way so that the reader can reflect clearly on their life, day to day decisions, what weighs heavy on their heart and mind and how they can free themselves from "sweet lies" that may comfort but keep them trapped in the same cycles... We will have multiple copies of the book available for attendees at the venue for discussion and if you'd like to pre-read you can also get yourself an e-book at https://a.co/d/1Z2r7Hs

**Kreative Selbstfürsorge - Gemeinschaftlich Energie tanken und dem Winterblues entgegen wirken** *\*\*English Information below\*\** Die Tage sind kurz, die Schatten lang und die Vögel still - der Winter ist allmählich da und wird uns alle eine Weile besuchen. Diese dunklere Zeit des Jahres kann für einige Menschen ganz schön herausfordernd sein. Viele kennen den Ausdruck "Winterblues", und nicht nur Lichtmangel, auch reduzierte Gemeinschaftsaktivitäten spielen dabei eine Rolle.

The days grow short, the shadows long, and the birds fall silent — winter is on its way and will be visiting us for a while. This darker time of year can be quite challenging for some people. Many are familiar with the term “winter blues,” and it’s not just the lack of light; reduced social activities also play a role. In this workshop, I address these seasonal themes and offer a space where **creativity, self-care, and community** come together — three essential ingredients for **recharging your energy during the grey winter months.** What to expect: ❄️ **Sharing circle** for authentic connections ❄️ **Creative coaching exercises** for deeper self-acceptance & inspiration for self-care in your daily life ❄️ **Group games & embodiment exercises** to foster a sense of community ❄️ **Mindfulness and relaxation exercises** Together, we will tap into our **inner sources of warmth** and strengthen our **inner anchor** for turbulent or low-energy times. Through **playful and mindful exercises**, you can fully arrive in your body and replenish your energy. So step out of the “I just have to keep going” mode and into the here and now — **discover what truly nourishes you during the cozy winter season.** We don’t have to go through winter alone. Take home a sense of **empowering togetherness, inner balance, and warmth.** **WHEN?** Sunday, 08.02.26 von 6-8 pm **WHERE?** Verbindungsraum Bundesallee 127, 12161 Berlin **HOW MUCH?** reduced 20,00€ ; regular 25,00€ ; solidary 30,00€ **REGISTRATION:** https://KreativeSelbstfuersorgeWinterblues.eventbrite.de **QUESTIONS?** Write an email at [verbindungsraum@web.de](mailto:verbindungsraum@web.de) I’m looking forward to seeing you!

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.**

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

This is not just a money class. This is a restoration space. The I AM Worthy of Ownership™ Path is a 12-step, sister-centered journey for women who are ready to build financial stability without shame, fear, or pressure—and to do it in a way that honors both wisdom and the spirit. Many women don’t struggle with money because they lack discipline or intelligence. They struggle because of unhealed experiences, survival patterns, and the quiet belief that they are “behind” or “disqualified.” This series gently challenges those beliefs while offering practical tools for peace, clarity, and long-term planning. Together, we will talk honestly about: Releasing shame and money anxiety Building stability as a form of self-respect and spiritual discipline Understanding money as a tool, not a source of worth Managing debt with clarity instead of condemnation Preparing for life’s unexpected moments without fear Laying a calm foundation for future ownership and legacy Each session blends practical financial education with reflection, conversation, and encouragement. There is no pressure to share personal numbers or experiences. You are welcome to speak, journal quietly, or simply listen. This is not about hustle. This is not about perfection. This is about alignment, wisdom, and peace. Who this series is for: Women who are starting over or rebuilding Women who want stability without stress Women preparing for future ownership or housing decisions Women who want their financial lives to reflect wholeness, not fear No prior financial knowledge is required. Come as you are. Bring a notebook. Leave a little lighter than you arrived. Light refreshments will be served along with 30 minutes of networking.

Confidence can be cultivated in many ways—through reflection, conversation, creativity, and practice. In this Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore one powerful pathway: **building confidence from the inside out through physical expression and movement**. This experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body as a source of insight, self-trust, and presence. We’ll begin by grounding into what’s bringing you here, creating space to notice how your body is showing up and what it’s holding. From there, you’ll be guided through accessible movement exercises that invite awareness and choice—isolating different parts of the body, experimenting with movement, and practicing what it feels like to take up space intentionally. Next, you’ll participate in a small-group dance lesson led in a supportive, low-pressure environment. No dance experience is needed. The focus is not on performance or perfection, but on expression, curiosity, and allowing yourself to move with confidence as you are. We’ll close with a reflective group discussion, exploring what emerged during the experience and how these insights can be applied beyond the studio—how you inhabit your body, how you carry yourself, and how you show up in everyday life. **What to know:** * Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you feel good moving in * No dance experience required * Light snacks and beverages will be provided This session is for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with confidence by listening to their body, expanding their capacity for self-expression, and practicing self-love as an embodied experience. **Featured Speaker: Mary Grace** Mary Grace, the dynamic force behind MG Choreography & Boutique, has been transforming special occasions with her unique blend of artistry and passion for over seven years.
