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.

**Start your weekend the right way.** Friday mornings are our ritual. We meet, we run, we wake up the city — then we go to work feeling like legends. This is a **relaxed, social group run** through Friedrichshain, open to **all paces and levels**. Whether you’re training for races or just getting into running, you’ll fit right in. No pressure, no ego, no one left behind. 🗺️ Easy-to-follow route 🏃 Multiple pace groups ☕ Often followed by coffee (sometimes mandatory ;) 👉 **Important:** We organize the run via **Strider**, our running coordination app. Route details, updates, and group chat are shared there — Meetup is just where people find us. **Please register on Strider before joining the run.** (Link below 👇) https://testflight.apple.com/join/uZ3131FV Come for the run. Stay for the vibe. Finish your week feeling way better than when it started.

❗️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.

Private one-to-one sessions are also available at an affordable price.* 🌿 **Step into silence, breath, and spontaneous movement — your body knows the way.**

**Module 4 out of 4 \| February 20th – 22nd 2026 \| Nicolae Catrina \(Adinathananda\) \| Berlin \(MahaYoga Zentrum\)** **Starting on February 20th at around 19:00 CET and ending on February 22nd at 17:30 CET.** *Please be aware, that you **can** participate if you didn’t participate at the previous modules.* **About the Workshop** Patanjali’s treatise ‘Yoga Sutras’ is more than two thousand years old, but is still one of the best manuals for a harmonious and successful Yoga practice, which contains the essence of Yoga. It describes in detail the different states of meditation and spiritual awakening as well as the fundamental principles and ethics of Yoga, Yama and Niyama. Being based on inner experience, rather than exclusively theoretical knowledge, makes this treatise effective for anyone. The Tantric perspective on Yoga Sutras assists us to realise, that not only a safe and direct way to godly ecstasy (samadhi in Sanskrit) is described, but also on how to bring this elevated state of consciousness back to everyday life, outside of our Yoga practice. By achieving a deeper understanding and bringing life and depth to Patanjali’s aphorisms as well as access to the foundation of Yoga and the opportunity to experience samadhi here and now, either due to personal continuous practice or with Tantric practice in a loving couple, is what the Tantric perspective enables us to do. The purpose of this workshop is to reveal Patanjali’s brilliant vision of this path, which is found in all spiritual traditions, the refocussing on our essential Self (Atman in Sanskrit) from our ego (ahamkara). This is done by presenting the deep understanding and intuition, which are required to unveil the secrets of the Yoga Sutras. Practical methods, based on the original Sanskrit text, will be shared in order to: * Transform almost every moment of our daily life into a blissful spiritual realisation * Hugely improve both the quality, and the transformative power of our Yoga or Tantra practice * Obtain the revelation of our essential Self (Atman) * Deeply harmonise our love relationships * Enjoy an ever happy and fulfilling life. Join us for this culminating fourth module, where we journey into the serene and luminous teachings of the final chapter of the Yoga Sutras. Here, Patanjali reveals Kaivalya — the ultimate state of freedom, where the mind dissolves into stillness and pure consciousness rests in its own essence. Together, we will explore the profound liberation that arises when identification with thought and form falls away, and the practitioner abides in the clarity of their true nature. This final stage is not about gaining, but about releasing — the return to wholeness, simplicity, and peace. Rooted in deep practice and insight, this module invites us to experience the quiet radiance of awareness itself — the essence of yoga fulfilled. **About the instructor** **Nicolae Catrina (Adinathananda)** is a yoga instructor with more than 30 years of experience. Two decades ago he founded the only Kashmir Shaivism course in Europe that offers to the thousands of participants from Romania and abroad the riches and profoundness of this spiritual tradition in a unique way that is adapted to western mentality. His deep interest for various forms of authentic spirituality and his spiritual intuition have helped him elaborate over time a series of initiatic courses, such as Tantric Alchemy, Enneagram or esoteric I-Ching. He also created a unique system for the revelation of the Essential Self, Atman, based on a supramental approach – but also a very accessible one – for the revelation of the Self (based on the enlightening esthetic experience) that has already helped thousands of aspirants take important steps towards discovering their essential divine nature. He is the author of many books on Shaivism, Yoga, Tantra, Alchemy, initiatic art etc. He has translated many important yogic and tantric texts, such as Sundaryalahari, Shiva Samhita or Gheranda Samhita. He exclusively offers in his Shaivism courses numerous traditional, esoteric works, such as Shiva Sutra, Spanda Karika, Vijnana Bhairava Tantra etc., as well as their practical, deeply transforming knowledge in a new, innovative way. **Program** **20th of February** Evening session: 19:00 – 21:30 **21st and 22nd of February** 1st session: 10:30 – 13:00 Break: 13:00 – 15:00 2nd session: 15:00 – 17:30 **Price per module** **Early-Bird for the third module (until December 31st 2025):** 130,00 € **Normal:** 200,00 € **Cancellation policy** **Cancellation until 20th of January 2026:** Full refund **Cancellation between 21st – 31st of January 2026:** 15,00 € cancellation fee **Cancellation between 1st – 19th of February 2026:** 50 % cancellation fee (of the paid price) **Cancellation after 19th of February 2026:** No refund **Address** Deutsche Akademie für traditionelles Yoga e.

We are inviting you to our next Evening of Meditation on **Sunday, the 22nd of February**. These gatherings are not just about meditating on your own, but a step inward that we take together regarding a particular topic. This time we explore **Freedom from the grip of thought**. Functional thought is great, it helps us go through life and achieve things. But in so many of us thought can unnecessarily take over, waste our energy and get us stuck in stressful states. What helps us discover freedom from this grip of thought? Let’s explore that. 📍Where: [Yoga Sky](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kBxUvZrqo5yzRNe88?g_st=ipc), Am Tempelhofer Berg 7d, 10965 Berlin Follow the Yoga Sky signs in the yard, and take the elevator to the top floor. 🗓 When: Sunday, 22nd of February, 19:00 - 20:30 Please arrive 5-10 min earlier to settle down. 🎟️ Entry: € 5, just to pay for the space (in cash or PayPal) For more info go to: [https://onenessberlin.com/](https://onenessberlin.com/) You’re welcome, no matter your background or experience.

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.**

Let's read together on another Sunday morning. Agenda: 10:30-11:00 Arrival, ordering drinks, getting to know each other 11:00-12:00 Reading together 12:00-13:00 Share reading experience There is no books assigned. Just bring whatever you are reading for now. Please sign up only when you can join the event. Hope you will enjoy it there!

**Meditation – One Hour of Presence (All levels) by STUDIO B (https://www.studio-bewusstseinserfahrungen.de/)** This one-hour meditation session is suitable for beginners as well as experienced practitioners. We begin with a short and gentle breathwork exercise to regulate the body, calm the nervous system, and bring attention inward. This prepares the transition into meditation. This is followed by a 15–20 minute introduction to the meditation practice. During this phase, I explain the core principles of meditation and assign each participant a personal meditation task, tailored to their individual level of experience. The intention of this part is to create clarity, inner orientation, and a sense of safety for the silent practice. We then enter a first phase of silent meditation. After approximately 15–20 minutes, the silence is intentionally interrupted by a short walking meditation. This is not a break, but a conscious transition that integrates the body, releases restlessness, and deepens presence. Afterwards, we return to silent meditation. Each participant practices independently with their personal instruction, within a calm and supportive space. This session invites you to cultivate presence, quiet the mind, and either deepen an existing meditation practice or begin one in a grounded and accessible way. **Open to all levels. No prior experience required.** Payment is for the room. ​ \*\*\* ​Session structure - **duration: 60 minutes** **1\.

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. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !! Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do. We worship the GOD that LOVES US! We understand that god is an energy and it lives in us as us. Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :) Also we are a home not a business, so we enjoy building community one friend at a time. We always build in time for people to mingle & develop friendships! xoxo Much Love, Frank Tennyson Namaste, Frank Tennyson http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/f/9/9/600_447824953.jpeg

Meeting Room 2b, 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. We desire to cultivate a space where all questions are welcome and each person is treated with compassion and respect.

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.
