Authentic Relating & Circling with Sophie and Marco
**Authentic Relating & Circling with Sophie and Marco**
Come and connect and learn the powerful practices of Authentic Relating and Circling. We normally do about a half-hour of Authentic Relating in paired-shares, followed by Circling in up to two breakouts, usually rejoining the large group at the end. However the program will change according to the experience of the participants at each event.
If you are not familiar with Authentic Relating & Circling, you can read Marco's book on the [Circling Guide](https://circlingguide.com) website. All events are beginner-friendly and no prior experience is necessary. If all goes well, you will feel that this is what you have been doing your whole life, and all you ever wanted was to be with people who share this way of being!
**PS:** **don't look at Meetup RSVP's, as this event is advertised through multiple channels. Please always register due to limited space.

*Our Authentic Relating & Circling nights are fun and engaging. We hope to see you there!*
**\*\*Agreements & Terms of Service (Please read)\*\***
**Authentic Relating and Circling is not therapy**. People encounter states, emotions, beliefs, and sensations in themselves and others which can be difficult. We explore the unknown, the volatile, the ambiguous, as well as welcome emotions many deem as “negative” or “inappropriate” such as feelings of inadequacy, anger, sexuality, and joy.
We refer to the willingness to feel difficult and uncomfortable truths as the “commitment to connection,” which of course includes a willingness to set appropriate boundaries, and speak a desire for space, distance, and non-contact. By attending our events you take responsibility for your level of participation, which might include choosing to leave.
If all this sounds potentially overwhelming or destabilizing for you, if you have mental illness or significant emotional challenges that you feel may be exacerbated by this type of transformational environment, or if you are not sure that you can be self-directed in taking care of your needs during the event, then we advise you not to attend.
We look forward to seeing you!

Emotional Impact Play Workshop
**The art of being unforgettable.**
Full program, what to bring, and tickets on our website: 👉 [spnkd.com](https://spnkd.com/solo-workshop-emotional-impact-play/)
—
There's a kind of connection that stays with you, not because of what was done, but because of how deeply you were seen.
This workshop is for people who want to learn how to do that: to read another person with precision, stay present under emotional intensity, and create exchanges that linger long after the moment is over.
We borrow from an unlikely source, Sanford Meisner, the legendary acting teacher who defined his craft as *living truthfully under imaginary circumstances*. His repetition exercises train people to drop the performance, sit in real emotion, and respond instinctively to whatever the other person is giving them.
Through guided exercises, you'll practice reading expressions and shifts, heightening presence, developing radical empathy, and staying inside yourself while letting someone else fully in.
Facilitated by Anna Noctuelle, who brings over twenty years of practice and an international teaching career in somatic work, intimacy, and movement. Grounded in classical dance and authentic movement, she teaches with a focus on presence and emotional attunement. Co-founder of Studio Ma in London and creator of Shibari Score Notation.
Open to solos and duos. Solo attendees will be paired up on the night. No prior experience required.

***Entry: Pay What You Want\* (seat reservation required): you reserve your seat for free, and Pay What You Want at the end of the class, depending on how much you think the class is worth (recommended fee: €10-15). \*It is not within my principles to promote a class as "Free Entry" and ask for a "not-so-voluntary" donation at the end. This class is paid - I just let you decide the price ;)***
OMEGA TALKS
You are warmly invited to our next Omega Talk:
**HOLLOW EARTH –**
***A Forgotten Cosmology Reconsidered***
For centuries, we have been taught to see Earth as a solid sphere. Yet another possibility continues to appear like a forgotten echo:
What if Earth is not as solid as we think?
What if beneath the surface lies a vast, hidden world?
In this Omega Talk, we will explore the fascinating and controversial idea of the Hollow Earth — a forgotten cosmology that invites us to look beyond conventional models and reconsider ancient knowledge, polar mysteries, seismic questions, the idea of an inner sun, and the possibility of Earth as a living, breathing planetary being.
This evening is not about blindly accepting a theory: It is an invitation to curiosity, open inquiry, and expanded perception.
Join us for a jorney beneath the surface — could earth be more mysterious, more alive, and more multidimensional than we have taught to believe?
After the presentation, there will be time to create a warm space for reflection, connection and friendship over tea and snacks.
I look forward to welcoming you 😊

This space invites you to release fear, speak from the heart, and remember the power of your inner wisdom. Together, we honor vulnerability, expression, and the courage to be fully seen and heard.
Come as you are. Bring your truth, your softness, your fire, your voice.
✨ No previous experience needed

Paint with the Artist: Walk-In Painting & Gilding Workshop
Paint with the Artist ✨ Walk-In Mixed Acrylics&Gilding Workshop
Part of Art Spring Berlin – Open Studio Days, Atelierhaus Prenzlauer Promenade
Saturday 30 May \| 13:00–16:00
Sunday 31 May \| 13:00–16:00
Location: Prenzlauer Promenade 149 building C, Floor 6, Studio 662 - Roxana Ardeleanu
For Open Studio Days and Art Spring Berlin, Creative Shapeshifters opens its studio not only as an exhibition space, but also as a shared space for making, experimenting, and painting together.
Join me for a relaxed walk-in painting workshop inspired by my practice as a visual and transdisciplinary artist. This is an open process rather than a fixed class — you can arrive at any point between 13:00 and 16:00, stay for as long as you wish, and become part of a shared painting space.
Throughout the afternoon, I’ll be painting alongside everyone while sharing techniques and materials from my own artistic practice. We’ll explore acrylic painting, mixed media processes, and especially gold foil gilding techniques — experimenting with ways of bringing light, texture, layering, and unexpected material encounters into painting.
We’ll also play with unconventional materials such as eggs and honey and discover how materials can behave beyond traditional painting approaches.
Participants will create small compositions inspired by playful surprise prompts drawn at random — allowing each work to unfold in its own direction.
No previous experience needed — curiosity is enough.
Drop in at any point, paint with me, observe, experiment, have tea, and spend some time in the studio atmosphere ☕✨
Participation: donation-based, starting at €20
(all materials included)
Leave with your own artwork and traces of a shared process.
Looking forward to shapeshift together!

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 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 Quiet Hour - Women's Circle
**The Quiet Hour** is a two-and-a-half-hour guided journey for women — a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the power of shared presence.
When we speak about healing in this space, it is not limited to one dimension. It can touch the emotional, mental, and physical layers of our experience. The intention is to create a moment where the body can soften, the mind can quiet, and we can reconnect with a deeper sense of clarity and alignment within ourselves.
During the evening, we guide you through meditation, visualization, sound, and gentle energy work. The vibrations of sound help the body release tension, while the guided visualization invites you to reconnect with the life you wish to create and the deeper intentions that live within you.
Together, we also explore the power of identity — the understanding that the way we see ourselves shapes the life we experience. When we reconnect with our inner strength and authenticity, we begin to move from emotional chaos toward a more grounded and stable foundation within ourselves.
At **SheWhoRests**, we believe that every woman carries immense strength within her. Yet even the strongest among us needs connection — someone who believes in our dreams, understands our struggles, and holds space for our journey.
That is why community and connection are an important part of this gathering.
Through gentle sharing and simple exercises, we create moments where women can feel supported by one another and remember that we are not walking this journey alone.
The intention of The Quiet Hour is simple:
to offer a space where you can pause, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling more grounded, more understood, and more supported in your journey.

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
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.
