⚔ Spiritual Heroism and the hero's journey ⚔ “*[T]he student-teacher relationship is similar to that in the martialarts. You could get hurt severely if you are too tense. [...]You could read a book about it, but it doesn’t mean very much unless you have that very immediate and direct experience —which is frightening [...] We have to learn fearlessness that is without hesitation but is not based on blind faith.*” (Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche) Turning to the inside, investigating who one truly is, facing challenges and obstacles on the search for truth, is heroic. Whether the story of the great hero Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita, Atalante in Greek mythology or David in Christianity - our ancient stories are full of heroines and heroes. Heroism seems to be an attribute of the mystic archetypes (Gods) considering the legends of Kali's victory over the demons, Siva Nilakantha's rescue of the Universe from poison, or Ragnarök in nordic and Titanomachy in Greek mythology. Books like "*The way of the superior man*" or simply biographies of great spiritual beings like the Tibetan Princess, Yeshe Tsogyel, Co-founder of Tibetan Buddhism suggest that there is something that Heroism can contribute to the spiritual Quest. And then there are things like the Bodhisattva Vow - spiritual actions that seem heroic in nature. "*'Would you like to leave your subjects and go off to practice the Dharma? Would you l ike to leave the palace and go to practice the Dharma? [...] Do not try to do what you are not capable of doing: Practicing the Dharma. Do what you know how to do: Be a housewife.'* Nangsa responded: '*Helpful mother, Nyangtsa Seldron, listen to me [...], Nangsa Obum! The sun shines in the four corners of the universe: When the sun stops shining I will stop desiring to practice the Dharma and stay at home. If the sun keeps going, I will go also to the Dharma.'*” (Nangsa Obum - quote taken from the book "Women of wisdom" by Lama Tsultrim Allione) **Let's share for an afternoon about the hero's journey in spirituality!** 💫 **What this event offers for you:** * Guided Meditations for arriving, calming the mind and tuning into your intuition * Meeting people interested in spirituality (all levels) * Safe Space for sharing - non-hierarchical and non-judgemental * Opportunity to ask just about any question **👀 You may watch one or few of the following Videos for inspiration:** * Sadhguru on "Hero or Zero" : [https://youtu.be/-9iebN1Rp3g?si=4ohMVIXvuTvMa1Gu](https://youtu.be/-9iebN1Rp3g?si=4ohMVIXvuTvMa1Gu) * Lama Tsultrim Allione on "Feeding your demons": [https://youtu.be/aEbJ_maF_fo?si=PWUWJsIME2nPqJNM](https://youtu.be/aEbJ_maF_fo?si=PWUWJsIME2nPqJNM) * Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo on "Using adverse circumstances": [https://youtu.be/-doY-wf0P2Y?si=1QoPWWHS66WTaUDd](https://youtu.be/-doY-wf0P2Y?si=1QoPWWHS66WTaUDd) * Tantra Teacher Uriel Yariv on overcoming obstacles: [https://youtu.be/tTql0O5XAP0?si=JFr5vzCcSTjUxdTF](https://youtu.be/tTql0O5XAP0?si=JFr5vzCcSTjUxdTF) * Alan Chapman on his journey including the "Abyss": [https://youtu.be/GQ99PULR5NY?si=MIJ0_Fi1H_QFkjOR](https://youtu.be/GQ99PULR5NY?si=MIJ0_Fi1H_QFkjOR) * Pema Chödron on "Being brave": [https://youtu.be/zVzV_RCMqNU?si=O5CpCX25XbISBP4e](https://youtu.be/zVzV_RCMqNU?si=O5CpCX25XbISBP4e) * Dzontsar Khyentse Rinpoche on the story of the horse thief: [https://youtu.be/wjpUQaFROFA?si=EbI_RcWLnvLAzbSD](https://youtu.be/wjpUQaFROFA?si=EbI_RcWLnvLAzbSD) * Tantra Teacher Blandine Wegener and Uriel Yariv on facing fears: [https://youtu.be/LTHAzHZm1Mc?si=bEN227_m56zF81rv](https://youtu.be/LTHAzHZm1Mc?si=bEN227_m56zF81rv) * Tantra Teacher Uriel Yariv on the path of the hero (Vira) for men: [https://youtu.be/eeawuvFXgbg?si=jTUGTC3nXPDeCDb8](https://youtu.be/eeawuvFXgbg?si=jTUGTC3nXPDeCDb8) **🧘 About the Organizer** Martin is a certified Mindfulness Teacher, Systemic Coach, Yogi and Altruist by heart who teaches Meditation and Martial Arts in different formats. However, in this meetup Martin focuses on the altruistic intention to open a space for people to share while offering as much facilitation as needed in the moment. "*From a spiritual point of view it's not advantageous to be a rabbit. It's better to be a tiger, [...] Rabbits are very nice and cuddly but they don't have much potential for breaking through. Tigers, on the other hand, are very wild but that pure energy, if used skilfully, is exactly what's needed on the path. All the great saints were very passionate people. It's just that they didn't dissipate their passions into negative channels. They used them as fuel to send them to Enlightenment.*" (Tenzin Palmo) "*The search for reality is the most dangerous of all undertakings for it will destroy the world inwhich you live. But if your motive is love of truth and life, you need not be afraid.*" (Nisargadatta Maharaj)

**\*"It Was Just An Accident"\*** Feel free to join if you're interested. :) Why the movie is important: * **A Symbol of Resistance:** Filmed in secret within Iran without government permission, the movie is a defiant act by Panahi, who has faced multiple arrests and a long-standing filmmaking ban. * **International Recognition:** It won the prestigious [Palme d'Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Was_Just_an_Accident) and became the first Iranian film nominated for Best Motion Picture – Drama at the Golden Globes. * **Personal and Collective Truth:** The story is deeply informed by Panahi's own 2022–2023 imprisonment in Evin Prison and the real-life testimonies of fellow inmates he met there. * **Breaking Taboos:** It is one of the first major Iranian films to show women without the mandatory hijab, reflecting the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement and contemporary Iranian reality. * **Moral Complexity:** Rather than a simple revenge story, it forces the audience to grapple with the agonizing cycle of violence, questioning whether mercy or retribution is the true path to justice. Unraveling against the ever-present backdrop of authoritarianism, the film coalesces into a climactic act of resistance by an Iranian auteur who is no stranger to unjust detainment himself. Powered by thrilling momentum and peerless craft, France’s Best International Feature Film entry to the 98th Academy Awards asks us to consider – and reconsider – the line between right and wrong. The winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes is a fearless tour-de-force from cinematic luminary Jafar Panahi. Both urgently political and deeply humane, this new moral classic confronts truth and uncertainty, revenge and mercy, head-on. **Tickets: Free seat selection** https://lichtblick-kino.org/ein-einfacher-unfall/

Just warm people, a calm atmosphere, and time dedicated to yourself. 🗓️ **Agenda:** * 14:30 - 15:00 **→** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers) * 15:00 - 16:00 **→** 1 hour of silent writing (headphones welcome, focus encouraged) * 16:00–16:30 **→** 30 mins break + optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your Saturday) * 16:30–17:30 → 1 more hour of silent writing (for those staying) * 17:30–18:00 → 30 mins of chat, and leaving 🎒 **Bring:** * Something to write with (laptop, notebook, phone, typewriter… anything goes) * Something to drink (there is no cafeteria, unfortunately) * Your current project or a blank page * Yourself, exactly as you are **👉 Responsibility:** * Our location is limited; thus, I am kindly asking you to RSVP only if you are willing to attend. **About me:** Hi, my name is Anastasia. I started this writing club back in May 2025. Since then, it has been hosted weekly at the Heinrich Schulz Library (who is kind enough to allow us to use this room for free). Over this time, I’ve been privileged to meet some of the most creative and kind minds in Berlin. And I would be happy if you joined us. Whether you're an experienced writer or just at the beginning of your journey, you're welcome. If you know how to hold a pen or how to type, there will always be a space for you. Let's write together!

Kuscheln für Frauen darf echt sein. Leicht. Tief. Bewegend. Hier darf Frau kichern, Nähe spüren und Kraft tanken. Es entsteht eine Verbindung, die nährt – achtsam, klar und wohltuend. Kuscheln kann vieles sein: spielerisch, ruhig, tief, warm oder einfach nur entspannend. Finde heraus, was dir gut tut. Wir – Ava & Melanie – begleiten dich durch deine Kuschelerfahrung in Berlin. Als ausgebildete Therapeutinnen mit einer tiefen Liebe für Körperarbeit, Verbindung und Präsenz schaffen wir Räume, in denen du dir selbst und anderen echt begegnen kannst – spielerisch, liebevoll, nährend. Unsere Kuschelevents sind geprägt von Achtsamkeit, Klarheit und innerem Einvernehmen. Hier darf Frau lachen, kuscheln – und einfach sie selbst sein. Wir glauben, dass Berührung ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis ist – kein Luxus. Deshalb gestalten wir Räume, in denen du dich entspannen, auftanken und dich frei entscheiden kannst, wie nah du wem sein möchtest. Kuscheln ist immer freiwillig, respektvoll und im Einklang mit den vereinbarten Regeln. Unser Wunsch ist es, dir einen sicheren und achtsamen Raum zu eröffnen und zu halten, in dem du in respektvoller Atmosphäre Nähe, Berührung und Entspannung erleben kannst – ganz ohne Leistungsdruck oder sexuelle Absicht. Lachen, Weinen und Stille sind hier gleichermaßen willkommen. **ABLAUF** Wir starten mit einem gemeinsamen Ankommen, leiten dich durch Übungen zur Wahrnehmung und zur Einvernehmlichkeit von Berührung, bevor wir in die freie Kuschelzeit übergehen – je nach Wunsch in Gruppen, zu zweit oder in Ruhe für dich allein. **ORT** Berlin Weißensee Der genaue Ort wird dir nach Anmeldung bekannt gegeben. **DATUM und ZEIT** 10.01.2026 17:00 – 20:00 Uhr (Einlass ab 16:35 Uhr, bitte sei pünktlich, nach 17 Uhr bleiben die Türen geschlossen.) **PREIS** Unsere Kuschelzeit bieten wir zum Preis von 35–45 Euro nach Selbsteinschätzung an.

Join our weekly walking meetup to have fun, maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet new people, and enjoy the weather! We meet Saturdays at 10am, halfway between the Reston *Container Store* and *Not Your Average Joes* (by the metal benches), leaving no later than 10:05. Every week, rain or shine, we start by walking along the Green Trail to reach Lake Anne Community Center. Once there, we pause for water/bio (often staying a few minutes extra from April-November, due to the local Farmer's Market), and then we circle Lake Anne and head back to our starting point. It's roughly 3-4 miles and takes about an hour and a half. Afterwards, some members will often head to *Not Your Average Joes* or another local restaurant for a quick drink/meal before tackling the day. This event is open to all ages and fitness levels. Dogs are welcome, and we recommend dressing for the weather (umbrella, water, snow shoes, hat, etc.) since we'll walk rain or shine. Also, feel free to bring a friend! By signing up, you accept and assume all risks and responsibilities with this activity, and nobody will be held liable.

You must read the following NVHC Sign-in Sheet Statement/Liability Disclaimer, [https://nvhc.com/signin.pdf](https://nvhc.com/signin.pdf) and then answer the question that you will see when you RSVP with "I accept" to be permitted on the hike. This is an enjoyable hike with the Lake, lots of graceful full growth trees and the fun of winding through multiple trails in this relatively compact Park. The Hike route is about 7 miles with 460 feet of elevation. The Hike route is a loop consisting primarily of dirt trails. We will start at the Bike Lane Brewing &Café, at 11150 Sunset Hills, Reston VA 20190. The Bike Shop and Brewery is adjacent to Lake Fairfax Park and for those interested, we can enjoy a beer after the hike. You must be experienced with hikes of this length and elevation gain. We hike at a pace of approximately 2.5 -3.0 mph while moving. Restrooms are available at the start point and at our break point during the hike. Dogs are welcome on this hike in accordance with the NVHC Dog Policy.

Join Neurodivergent District for a night of camaraderie over karaoke. We are excited to celebrate the 30th birthday of one of our members and hosts, Patrick R. We have a 6:30 reservation with limited seating. If you arrive later, you may not have a seat. We're still happy to have you come and join us.

And no pressure to sing — you’re welcome to cheer others on and/or just come to socialize. **Please note:** you’re responsible for any food/drink charges you accrue. We look forward to seeing you.

Hello Hikers!! Welcome to our Saturday morning hike at 9:00 AM! Many - but not all - of our hikes originate at Great Falls Park, off Georgetown Pike. Unless you already have an appropriate pass, the park entrance fee is $20/car for a single visit or $35/car for a 12-month pass that is good for the Maryland side of the river too. Come twice and you'll save 5 bucks! For the record, all scheduled hikes will be held even when it rains, snows or is super hot or cold unless the weather is too extreme to be safe. Our standard hike is a relatively easy 1 hour plus loop hike at a moderate pace. Usually a hike-extension is offered for those wishing to add a few miles more, up to 7 miles or so total. In spite of our Meetup name, we also hike in nearby parks such as Riverbend, Scott's Run, Turkey Run, Seneca, and Billy Goat A or C on theMaryland side of the Potomac. We have also scheduled hikes in Shenandoah NP and at Sugarloaf in Maryland. Please note that phone connections can be iffy in the park so don't call you are running late, but texting may work. It's best for you to be on time as we set out pretty much on time. This 1+ hour of hiking (or more) is a great way to relax, turn off your cell phones, make new friends, and get some exercise. I hope to see you on the next hike!! Thanks Dick, Julie, and Katie P.S. We will meet at the lower parking lot. Once you pass the ranger's booth, make an immediate U-turn to the right and follow the road downhill to the parking lot. We meet by the big rock at the far end of the lot.
