Seitai free group session
Come join us for a gentle yet powerful Seitai group practice ā a space where silence, breath, and spontaneous movement meet. This is a donation-based event, so youāre free to contribute what feels right (from 0⬠to (your choice)ā¬).
⨠What is Seitai?
Seitai (ę“ä½) is a Japanese practice that helps you reconnect with your bodyās innate intelligence. Through subtle awareness and guided techniques, youāll be invited to:
Listen deeply to your body through Yuki (a meditative, hands-on practice of sensing and following the breath).
Release hidden tension with Katsugen ā allowing involuntary, spontaneous movements to arise naturally.
Find balance in stillness and movement, letting your body recalibrate itself in surprising ways.
Seitai is not about control or forcing; itās about giving voice to the movements your body has been waiting to express. Sometimes this brings ease, clarity, and lightness. Sometimes it stirs up dizziness, discomfort, or emotions. Every experience is valid ā and you are always free to pause or leave at any time.
š Why join?
Discover a practice that many find deeply transformative.
Create space for release, renewal, and vitality.
Explore in community, whether youāre a curious first-timer or already familiar with Seitai.
š Practical details
Wear comfortable clothes and bring a towel and water to stay hydrated.
Bring openness and curiosity.
Watchers are welcome ā you can simply observe, or dive into active practice.
The session is guided, but the real teacher is your own body.

Komm zu unserer sanften und doch kraftvollen Seitai-Gruppenpraxis ā ein Raum, in dem Stille, Atem und spontane Bewegung aufeinandertreffen. Dies ist eine Veranstaltung auf Spendenbasis, du kannst also frei beisteuern, was sich für dich richtig anfühlt (von 0⬠bis (deine Wahl)ā¬).
⨠Was ist Seitai?
Seitai (ę“ä½) ist eine japanische Praxis, die dir hilft, dich wieder mit der angeborenen Intelligenz deines Kƶrpers zu verbinden. Durch subtile Achtsamkeit und angeleitete Techniken bist du eingeladen:
\*Tief auf deinen Kƶrper zu hƶren durch Yuki (eine meditative, praktische Ćbung des Erspürens und Folgens des Atems).
* Verborgene Spannungen mit Katsugen zu lƶsen ā indem du unwillkürlichen, spontanen Bewegungen erlaubst, ganz natürlich zu entstehen.
\*Balance in Stille und Bewegung zu finden, während sich dein Körper auf überraschende Weise selbst neu ausrichtet.
Bei Seitai geht es nicht um Kontrolle oder Zwang; es geht darum, den Bewegungen eine Stimme zu geben, auf deren Ausdruck dein Kƶrper gewartet hat. Manchmal bringt dies Leichtigkeit, Klarheit und Entspannung. Manchmal wirbelt es Schwindel, Unbehagen oder Emotionen auf. Jede Erfahrung ist gültig ā und es steht dir jederzeit frei, eine Pause zu machen oder zu gehen.
š Warum teilnehmen?
* Entdecke eine Praxis, die viele als tief transformierend empfinden.
\*Schaffe Raum für Loslassen, Erneuerung und Vitalität.
* Erkunde die Praxis in der Gemeinschaft, egal ob du neugieriger AnfƤnger bist oder bereits Erfahrung mit Seitai hast.
š Praktische Details
\*Trage bequeme Kleidung und bringe ein Handtuch sowie Wasser mit, um hydriert zu bleiben.
* Bringe Offenheit und Neugier mit.
\*Zuschauer sind willkommen ā du kannst einfach nur beobachten oder direkt in die aktive Praxis eintauchen.
* Die Sitzung wird angeleitet, aber der wahre Lehrer ist dein eigener Kƶrper.

In diesem Video [00:16] wird Seitai als eine japanische Kulturform beschrieben, die den Organismus wieder in Ordnung bringt (āSeitaiā bedeutet āKƶrper in Ordnungā). Es basiert auf der Beobachtung der natürlichen Lebensenergie und nutzt Bewegungen wie Katsugen Undo [00:32], um die VitalitƤt zu fƶrdern.

Jeder ist willkommen, egal ob du vƶllig neu bist oder Seitai bereits kennst. Bringe bequeme Kleidung und einen offenen Geist mit.

šæ Tritt ein in die Stille, den Atem und die spontane Bewegung ā dein Kƶrper kennt den Weg.

Calm and Clear - Buddhist Meditation in English
Meet like-minded people, get authentic meditation instructions and hang out in our beautiful Buddhist meditation center in the west of Berlin!
The practice of meditation is a simple, yet profound practice that helps us to connect with ourselves and gives us tools to release experiences of distraction, agitation, and stress. In the Buddhist tradition, meditation is more than just a way to end the mind“s distraction - it is what helps us to bring our mind home to its true nature.
What better way to experience the colourful facets of meditation than with a group of like-minded people? Hence our open meditation sessions always have a social element as well - we like to have a tea and share about our meditation experiences, or whatever else we want to explore. There is also always the chance to ask questions to our experienced meditation instructors.
These sessions are held in English and open to everyone - complete beginners as well as those with more experience.
The sessions are every week on Friday at 17:00-18:30.

Jhana Meditation for Beginners
The course will start this Saturday at 10am. It will be in studio R at CCB studios. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46). Buzz for CCB studios and then walk through to the second courtyard. We will try to start right around 10. There will be tea available.
Please dress in comfortable clothes, maybe wearing a few layers. Theres some blankets, yoga mats, cushions and chairs in the room that you can use.
The plan will be for us to do some small discussions at the top and then start discussing theory before doing some meditations of increasing length and then closing with some time for Q & A. We will take a short break in the middle as well. The plan is to go from 10-12 roughly but we may end a little closer to 11:30 depending.
This week will function primarily as a simple introduction to meditation and some topics in the space but we will also discuss what the Jhanas are.
Looking forward! Any questions please just message me.

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
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 Berlinās 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
š¶**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.
š **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
š§ **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.
š¤ **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.
šæ **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.**
Tennis training : Starter/Improver level
**Welcome to Berlin's international training community! š¾**
