Free of charge \| Event series 2026 \| MahaYoga Zentrum **Presentation in English about:** * „The Astrological Quality of Time for the Month“ & „Specifics of the Special Moment of Shivaratri“: 21:30 – 22:30 * **Meditation for the Moment of Shivaratri:** 22:30 – 00:00 The sages use many methods to remain awake and attentive in every moment. However, the lower mind can obstruct this wakeful and alert state if we are not aware of this instrument – our mind – and its place in our lives. Without this awareness, we allow it to be driven by lower impulses and the (collective) unconscious, leading us away from our true potential. The time around the new moon favors the stillness of the lower mind, allowing access to a higher state of pure perception. This state enables us to connect our consciousness to the universal mind (Shiva) and uncover the essential truth behind every experience. As meditating together in a group amplifies the effects, we gather monthly for the „Night of Shiva“ to experience this collective energy. Beforehand, an experienced astrologer will present the astrological quality of the moment of Shivaratri, including an outlook on the time quality of the upcoming month. Becoming aware of the astrological quality of time helps align our lives with the „Big Picture,“ bringing us closer to harmony with the cosmos and the divine will. It also helps to create an awareness of subtle nuances that can be absorbed and felt during the subsequent meditation. Afterward, there will be an introduction to the question: „What is Shivaratri, and why is it especially valuable to meditate at this moment?“ We will gain valuable insights from an experienced yoga teacher on the role of Shiva in our personal lives. We will then meditate together for 1,5 hours. Since this is a long meditation, please wear comfortable clothing. We have cushions and seating available, but chairs are also provided. It’s best to come on an empty stomach. Drinks can be brought into the yoga hall in closed containers. #### **Event dates 2026** * 16th of January * 15th of February (Maha Shivaratri) * 17th of March * 15th of April * No event in May * 13th of June * 12th of July * 11th of August * 9th of September * 8th of October * 7th of November * 6th of December You can write questions to berlin@traditionelles-yoga.de We look forward to celebrating Shivaratri with you.

**Come together. Read. Talk about it.** Vielleicht liest du viel und vermisst Gespräche darüber. Vielleicht hast du Lust, neue Menschen kennenzulernen – in einem entspannten, ungezwungenen Rahmen. Lesen verbindet, und genau dafür ist dieser Club gedacht. Dieser *Social Reading Club* ist für Menschen, die gerne lesen und sich genau das wünschen: mehr Zeit dafür – und Raum für Austausch mit anderen, die das genauso fühlen. Wir treffen uns in einem Café am **Platz der Luftbrücke in Kreuzberg**. Nicht als klassischer Buchclub mit Vorgaben oder Pflichtlektüre, sondern als gemeinsames Innehalten: jede\*r liest für sich, egal ob Zeitung, dicker Roman oder Sachbuch. Im eigenen Tempo. Am Ende gibt es Raum für Austausch. Dein Handy kannst du dabei weglegen – ich behalte die Zeit für dich im Blick. **So sieht ein Treffen aus:** → Wir kommen entspannt an, bestellen etwas und richten uns in Ruhe ein. → Der Vormittag besteht aus **einer Leseeinheit**. Wir lesen in Stille – nebeneinander, konzentriert, jede\*r für sich. → Zum Abschluss gibt es ein lockeres Kennenlernen und Austauschen – über das (Buch), was wir gerade lesen, und das, was es bei uns auslöst: Gedanken, Eindrücke, Stellen, die hängen geblieben sind. **ℹ️ Wir treffen uns in einem Café und sind dort normale Gäste.** Also plane bitte ein, dort etwas zu bestellen. Die Teilnahme selbst ist kostenlos und erfordert keine Vorbereitung. Alles, was du tun musst, ist, etwas zum Lesen mitzubringen. **Kleiner Hinweis:** Das Treffen findet auf Deutsch statt. 🇩🇪 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . **🗓️ Agenda** **11:00 – 11:15 Uhr** Ankommen, Einrichten & etwas bestellen **11:15 – 12:30 Uhr** Stille Leseeinheit (konzentriertes Lesen, jede\*r für sich – gerne Kopfhörer mitbringen, falls es im Café etwas voller wird) **12:30 – 13:00 Uhr** Austausch, Kennenlernen & Ausklang

Ein Treffen für Frauen ab etwa 28, die spüren, dass mit mehr Klarheit auch der Wunsch nach Verbindungen wächst, die wirklich zu ihnen passen. Dieses Meetup ist ein offener Raum für ehrliche Begegnungen, echte Frauen Freundschaften, und weibliche Energie. Ohne Konkurrenz. Ohne Erwartungen. Bei Kaffee, Brunch oder Frühstück zusammenkommen und einfach wir selbst sein, spaß haben und vielleicht schon bald den nächsten trip planen. Ich wünsche mir selbst mehr weibliche Energie in meinem Alltag und weiß, dass ich damit nicht allein bin, deshalb freue ich mich auf euch und vielleicht ist das hier der Anfang einer neuen Sisterhood. 🎀

**Auf Spendenbasis** \| Nur für Frauen \| 17\.01\.2026 \| 18:30 – 21:00 Uhr \| MahaYoga Zentrum Berlin In einer Welt, die laut ist, schnell und fordernd, verlieren viele Frauen den Kontakt zu ihrer weichen, nährenden und intuitiven Essenz. Ständig im Tun. Ständig im Außen. Ständig im Funktionieren. Dieses Event ist eine Einladung, genau dort auszusteigen. „Zurück in Deine weibliche Quelle“ öffnet einen geschützten, liebevollen Raum nur für Frauen, in dem Du nichts leisten, nichts erreichen und niemand sein musst – außer Dir selbst. Ein Raum, in dem Du wieder sinken darfst: aus dem Kopf in den Körper, aus der Anspannung in die Präsenz, aus dem Müssen ins Sein. Hier darfst Du Dich erinnern: an Deine Sensibilität, an Deine Sanftheit, an Deine natürliche weibliche Kraft. Tantrische Arbeit bedeutet in diesem Kontext keine Technik, sondern bewusste Erfahrung – über Wahrnehmung, Körperbewusstsein, Präsenz und Verbindung. Du wirst eingeladen, Deine weibliche Energie nicht nur zu verstehen, sondern sie körperlich, emotional und energetisch zu spüren. Es ist eine Rückkehr zu: * Deinem inneren Rhythmus * Deinem Herzen * Deiner Intuition * Deiner Fähigkeit zu empfangen, zu genießen und loszulassen Dieser Abend richtet sich an Frauen, die sich nach Tiefe sehnen, nach echter Verbindung und nach einem Ort, an dem sie weich werden dürfen – getragen von einer achtsamen, respektvollen Gemeinschaft. Du bist willkommen, genauso wie Du bist. Vorerfahrung ist nicht notwendig. **Adresse** Deutsche Akademie für traditionelles Yoga e. V.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. 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. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!

Meet in the Maple Grove Picnic area. If trail conditions are poor, we will use the Multipurpose Path.

We'll hike about 2.5 miles on the Scioto Audobon Trail and can extend the distance as the group prefers. Will ask one of the faster regulars to take the front (about 16 minute miles) and I’ll bring up the rear at about 19 minute miles. No one left behind. Those who wish can join for lunch at Nocterra after the hike. Note: There is a $5 gift card on the Nocterra site if you provide your email and birthdate.

Join Soft Life Society for a cozy and intentional Cultural Potluck Night centered on community, connection, and culture. This is a potluck-style gathering where each guest is invited to bring a dish that represents their culture, heritage, or a family tradition. We will be tasting and sharing each other’s cultural foods while connecting through conversation, laughter, and soft living. The evening will also include fun games and a prize for the winner. Drinks will be available, but guests are welcome to bring their own favorite beverage if they prefer. This is a relaxed, welcoming space to slow down and enjoy a beautiful evening together. Limited spots available. RSVP required.

As we step into a new year, many of us are carrying lessons, practices, and questions shaped by the year behind us. The Next Chapter: Looking Back, Leaning Forward is a warm, facilitated vision circle designed to help us pause together, reflect on what truly worked, and imagine what we want to carry forward into what comes next. This is not a talk or presentation. It’s a small, participatory gathering focused on shared reflection, sense-making, and connection. **Together, we’ll explore:** * What supported you over the past year — in your work, leadership, or life * What you’re ready to leave behind * What you want next January’s version of yourself to be saying To support reflection in different ways, we’ll also have optional art materials available for anyone who would like to create a simple artifact for their year — a visual or tactile reminder of what they’re carrying forward. We’ll provide basic art supplies such as colored pencils, markers, paint pens, and small canvases. If you enjoy working with collage or other media, you’re warmly invited to bring magazines, stickers, or your favorite creative materials to use or share. Participation in the creative portion is completely optional. You don’t need a plan, goals, or polished answers. Curiosity, honesty, and listening are more than enough. The intention is for everyone to leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired — with a clearer sense of what matters to them and how we can support one another as a community. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. ⸻ **What to Expect** * A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) * Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak * Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving * Optional creative reflection using simple art materials * A calm, supportive environment ⸻ **Who This Is For** Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for thoughtful conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. ⸻ **Good to Know** * No preparation required * Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome * Creative activities are optional — you can simply listen and reflect * You’re welcome to bring your own collage or craft materials if you’d like * Location details will be shared with registered attendees
