Classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 19:00 to 21:00. **!!SIGN UP HERE**: [Katori Shinto-ryū Berlin Sign-up (google.com)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBt4A13VgnEcgQQ2PDaruthmYMRWineG4KtUCKsuC9KBsCUQ/viewform) Registration is required before your participation so that we can prepare enough training equipment. **Address**: Belziger Str. 25, 10823 Berlin. **No previous experience required!** The classes are in English and German. **Our website**: [Kenjutsu Berlin - Official school of Katori Shinto-ryu in Berlin (katoriberlin.org)](https://katoriberlin.org/) **Katori Shintō-ryū** is one of the oldest Japanese sword fighting traditions (koryū) still practised today and is recognized by the Japanese government as a cultural intangeable asset. The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

**"Dankbarkeit ist nicht das Ergebnis der Freude, sie ist ihre Ursache."** — David Steindl-Rast Liebe Montagsgruppenfreund\*innen, Liebe Interessierte, wie oft sagen wir „danke" und spüren dabei nichts.
Kein Gefühl, keine Regung im Körper, nur das Wort, das an der richtigen Stelle ausgesprochen wird. Als Kinder haben wir es gelernt: „Sag danke." Und danke wurde zur Höflichkeit, zur Formsache, zu etwas, das man sagt. Und wenn wir wahrhaftig dankbar und ganz ergriffen sind von diesem wundervollen Gefühl, dann erscheint uns „danke“ vielleicht gar nicht ausreichend als Ausdruck dessen was wir wahrnehmen. Wann warst du das letzte Mal wirklich dankbar?
 Vielleicht führst du ein Dankbarkeitstagebuch; erzähle uns gerne davon. Vielleicht ist es lange her, dass du dir diese Frage überhaupt gestellt hast. Wofür bist du in diesem Moment dankbar? Dir selbst. Deinen Liebsten. Dem Leben - mit allem, was es gerade bereithält. Fast jede Tradition kennt einen Moment, in dem Menschen innehalten und danken: Zur Erntezeit, am Ende eines Zyklus, bevor etwas Neues beginnt. Wir stehen am Ende des Semesters. Ein guter Moment, um zu danken. Ich lade dich am kommenden Montag ein, die Dankbarkeit im Herzen zu finden, zu fühlen und wo sie da ist, sie zu feiern. Bring mit, wofür dein Herz gerade dankbar ist.
Und auch das, was dein Herz belastet.
Du bist willkommen. Ich freue mich auf dich, euch und uns! Herzlich, Sophie **Ankommen in der Gefühlsschule** ab 19:15 Uhr - bitte nicht früher kommen - Beginn der Gruppe: 19:30 Uhr Kosten: 20 € (bar oder per PayPal vor Ort) Kontakt bei Fragen (ansonsten einfach vorbeikommen, keine Anmeldung notwendig & ich freue mich wenn du dich anmeldest:) [sophie@connecting-circle.de](mailto:sophie@connecting-circle.de)

***New location - Motel One Alex is under renovation so we'll try out the Hackschermarkt location*** Writing can feel like a solitary experience, but it doesn't have to be! Writing in the company of others can be surprisingly inspiring, productive, and comforting. Writers of all types and levels are welcome. Whether you're writing a novel, a memoir, poetry, journaling, working on your thesis, or even catching up on emails, all are welcome. We do things a little differently on Monday evenings. We start with an introduction round, then we will do 45 minutes of writing, break and share how it went, and then dive into the next 45-minute session. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: [https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw](https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw) For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

Hi everyone, join us on Sunday, July 12, at Monbijou Park for a fun afternoon all about MBTI and other interesting topics. Whether you’re deep into cognitive function theory or you just heard about MBTI this week, we’re happy to have you here. Looking forward to seeing you there! Our group aims to bring together people who are interested in self-development and self-improvement using MBTI and cognitive functions, in order to learn more about the theory and share our experiences with it. Another reason for this meetup is to meet people with whom you might potentially get along really well based on your type. This can lead to meaningful connections :)
Although the meetup is geared towards people who are interested in learning about MBTI theory and using it to improve their lives, our conversations aren’t only about that! We talk about anything and everything. So it's more like a regular social meetup with the aim of avoiding small talk :)
You can also join our WhatsApp group chat here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KzEwl2YD5K9F6adO7kvqPO

Welcome! This football session is for individuals who like playing on moderate to high intensity (run a lot and change position to give player with the ball option to pass). Usually play on a pretty competitive level. Our football skills are average to good. To keep things fair and enjoyable for all, we follow a few simple rules: ***Show up at 07:15 **so that you can get checked by the organiser* *If you are not checked by the organiser by kick-off at 7:30 then \*\*1 match penalty applies\*\*(being moved to waitlist)* *Related, if you sign out from the attending list after Friday at 3pm, a 1 match penalty applies (moved to wait-list)* *** No studs *If you show up with studs, then you wont be allowed to play - No dangerous tackling *If you get tackled, you need to call the foul - In case of handball only people close (1-2m) can call handball *Since we play 12v12, we have offsides (0-1m difference is still tolerated) - No penalties for handball in penalty box(no way of proving handball and please be fair) *In case of handball, the other teams goalkeeper gets the ball

## **Walking is cathartic and so is talking.** ## **If you're interested in personal development, growing your emotional intelligence and overcoming inner obstacles in a safe and empowering space, this group is for you.** ## **Come join us and let's grow together.** I originally created this group 3 years ago and the group grew to over 300 people. I decided to let that group go, and start over. Welcome to the Walk of Shame 2.0 If you've joined events previously then the format will remain similar for our walks. And I hope to add a variety of other events to the mix. **This event is supposed to be a fun way to meet new people whilst walking and talking on the topic of shame or other tricky emotions.** Sometimes it’s easier to tell a stranger something we are ashamed about, instead of someone we know. This is a no-judgment space open to all. I ask you to come with an open mind and heart and a willingness to share of yourself and hold space for other peoples stories. **We’ll meet at the front of Schloss Charlottenburg on Sunday 12th July at 10.30am. I'll be holding a Swedish flag.** **English and German language are both welcome. I host in English** **What to Expect** **This event is an entirely FREE experience.** **The intention for this event is for you to practice talking about the topics you feel are taboo, get over your shyness, and/or things that happened in your life that you feel ashamed about.** Shame holds a power over you when you don’t speak it and feel it. It stops you from being able to be your true self. We’ll spend about 1-1,5 hours together walking through the beautiful gardens of Schloss Charlottenburg and weather permitting we’ll also find a nice spot to sit and do a circle sharing and some embodiment practices. **If you already feel a little embarrassed about the idea of sharing then this is DEFINITELY for you.** I’ve learnt that sharing of those taboo and shameful topics actually makes you realise that you were the only one making them a big thing. When you tell it, people respect and admire that you dared to share or that you overcame something difficult. People think you are brave and resilient. This forms real connection and cuts through the superficial bull-shit we all feel we have to aspire to. **I’ll break the ice by sharing something I feel shame about and then we’ll pair up as we walk. There is no strict agenda, but I’ll instigate a few partner changes to encourage some getting out of your comfort zone.** **What to Bring** Perhaps a small blanket to sit on and your morning drink of choice. But really nothing other than yourself. If the weather permits I’d like us to find a nice spot to sit together and do a group sharing. (This is where you’ll need the blanket) **About the Organiser** Hi I’m Kim! I’m a fun, open and energetic Swede who grew up in England and landed in Berlin 18 years ago. After a 20+ year career in design I realised I could not suppress my calling to work with people on a deeper more spiritual level. I have since retrained as a Transformative Life Coach and Emotional Release facilitator and now work predominantly in this field. I take a very holistic approach to life and my work and hope that my own stories and candidness may inspire others to overcome their limiting ‘stories’ too. Other than my 1:1 work I love to host talks, speak at events, host spiritual and lifestyle workshops and connect with people on a deeper level. On a final note, beyond my career change these last years I also left an unhappy marriage after 14 years, (as a mother a very difficult decision) healed my chronic pain and many other niggling health problems because I finally understood the emotional component and psychosomatic connection of mind and body. Following some catalyst moments in 2019 I decided to re-imagine my life. And have been working towards that dream life ever since. You can find me on insta @KimTalks__

Do toxic people weigh you down? Affect your happiness? How can having toxic relationships affect your Health? And moreover, how can you spot them before it’s too late? Attend this in-person meeting to find out how to spot these people and remove their negative emotions from your life. This event is hosted by The Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center in Central Ohio.

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. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? 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. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
