If you’re craving more meaning, aliveness, and alignment with what truly matters to you in your work - this evening is for you. ​An intimate dinner evening for people working inside organizations, who don’t just want to function at work but care deeply about shaping things from within. ​This is not a workshop or a networking event. It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect together, and have the conversations that often get postponed in everyday work. ​It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about creating room for clarity, perspective, and one meaningful next step. ​Join us around the table. *Seats are limited to ensure meaningful conversations* 💛 *** **​​This evening is for you, if…** * ​​you desire a deeper sense of meaning and ownership in your everyday work * ​​you miss having inspiring conversations with like-minded people around work * ​​you’re curious how to navigate impact driven projects from within organizations ​We’re looking forward to welcoming you at the table, ​Marielen & Livia *** ​​📍 Berlin, Kreuzberg ​🍝 €11.50 (covers dinner & drinks) ​🦓 10-15 people ​Delicious food. Thoughtful questions. Honest exchange. No rush. *** ​**Why this evening exists** ​Over the last months, we kept meeting amazing people who work inside of organisation (often in a corporate context), who feel stretched by their work - yet still care deeply about contributing to positive change somehow. ​They bring so much care & potential and yet I’ve noticed how often meaningful initiatives never quite take shape, simply because there’s little space or energy to move them forward. ​That’s why we’re experimenting with a small, thoughtful format to create exactly that. ​For now, this takes a very simple form: we’re setting a table and bringing a small group together over dinner. It felt like the most human way to invite reflection, honest conversation, and a sense of hope and possibility. Especially at a time when change within systems can easily feel overwhelming. ​So if someone comes to mind while reading this - a friend, colleague, or collaborator who’s trying to create change from within their organization but might not quite know where to start or how to move forward - feel free to pass this on 💛

„Die Liebe ist eine aktive Kraft im Menschen, eine Kraft, die die Mauern niederreißt, welche den Menschen von seinen Mitmenschen trennen.“ - Erich Fromm Hey ihr Lieben, ich bin Sofie (24, Studentin - Psychotherapiewissenschaften) und möchte gerne einladen zu einem Lesekreis des Buches „Die Kunst des Liebens“ von E. Fromm. Wer ist Erich Fromm? Erich Fromm (1900–1980) war ein deutsch-amerikanischer Psychoanalytiker, Sozialpsychologe und Philosoph. Er gehört zu den bedeutendsten Denkern des 20. Jahrhunderts und verband psychoanalytische, sozialwissenschaftliche und humanistische Ansätze in seiner Arbeit. Fromm beschäftigte sich intensiv mit den Auswirkungen der modernen Gesellschaft auf den Menschen und setzte sich für eine menschlichere, weniger von Konsum und Machtstreben geprägte Welt ein. Die „Kunst des Liebens“ schreibt er als humanistische Gegenrede zu einer modernen Welt, die Nähe will, aber keine Beziehungskompetenz ausbildet. Dabei romantisiert er die Liebe nicht sondern nimmt sie radikal ernst - als eine erkennbare Fähigkeit und eine ethische Haltung in einer entfremdeten Gesellschaft. Ich beschäftige mich nun schon etwas länger mit E.Fromm und finde seine Werke aktueller denn je. Gerade in Zeiten des Hasses und Spaltung, freue ich mich mit euch einen Raum zu schaffen, in dem wir uns anhand des Buches mit dem Thema „ Liebe“ auseinandersetzen und uns auf eine neue Perspektive einlassen, die das Buch eröffnet. Ziel ist es uns mit dem Buch auseinander zu setzen und gemeinsam in Kontakt darüber zu gehen. Interessierte Menschen sind herzlich willkommen! WANN und WO? Der Lesekreis findet alle zwei Wochen Mittwoch 20 Uhr in der gemütlichen Bademeister Bar in 13088 Berlin statt. Mitzubringen ist euer Buch (ISBN- 978-3423361026). Ihr braucht sonst keine Vorkentnisse oder Vorwissen :)) Ich freu mich auf euch! Max. 10 Personen Toleranz, Respekt und Offenheit sind die Grundlage ! Alle sind willkommen!

Du möchtest den Reichtum natürlich entstehender, bedingungsloser Liebe enthüllen, den jeder von uns im Herzen trägt? Diese Meditation unterstützt uns, die Quelle echter Gutherzigkeit in uns zu öffnen. Wir lernen, uns selbst auf gesunde, heilsame Weise zu lieben und so unsere Haltung anderen gegenüber zu verwandeln. Die Meditation der liebenden Güte kann uns dabei helfen, uns und anderen liebevoller und mitfühlender zu begegnen. Das Event findet sowohl online als auch vor Ort im Dharma Mati Berlin (Soorstr. 85, 14050 Berlin) statt.

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.**

❗️To RSVP for event, please drop a message to the host ❗️ Come join us for a gentle yet powerful **Seitai group practice** — a space where silence, breath, and spontaneous movement meet. This is a **donation-based event**, so you’re free to contribute what feels right (usually 5–10€). ✨ **What is Seitai?** Seitai (整体) is a Japanese practice that helps you reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence. Through subtle awareness and guided techniques, you’ll 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* — 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; it’s 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 — and you are always free to pause or leave at any time. 🌌 **Why join?** * Discover a practice that many find deeply transformative. * Create space for release, renewal, and vitality. * Explore in community, whether you’re a curious first-timer or already familiar with Seitai. 👕 **Practical details** * Wear comfortable clothes. * Bring openness and curiosity. * Watchers are welcome — you can simply observe, or dive into active practice. * The session is guided, but the real teacher is your own body. ✨ Learn more: 🎥 Watch a short video: [https://youtu.be/KF7agFE1zss?si=6UhmjwaIAfBo-_Op](https://youtu.be/KF7agFE1zss?si=6UhmjwaIAfBo-_Op) 📖 Read more about Seitai: [https://seitaibarcelona.com/what-is-seitai/](https://seitaibarcelona.com/what-is-seitai/) Everyone is welcome, whether you are completely new or already familiar with Seitai. Bring comfortable clothes and an open mind. 💰 *This event is donation-based, supporting the space and allowing us to keep offering it. Private one-to-one sessions are also available at an affordable price.* 🌿 **Step into silence, breath, and spontaneous movement — your body knows the way.**

Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected.

Topic details coming soon. AGENDA: 7:00pm - Opening announcements 7:10pm - Main Topic 7:50pm - Q&A

Meeting Room 3B, Main Library Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation. We’ll begin with a short grounding moment, followed by a brief reading from spiritual or philosophical traditions, and an open reflection circle where participants can share (or simply listen). Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. This first gathering is a simple introduction to the spirit of the group and a chance to meet others seeking deeper meaning and community. All backgrounds are welcome.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. 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 sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.
