Ecstatic Dance • Cacao • Breath • Movement @ Pyramid Floor Life Artist Creaters Hub Berlin Hey you ✨ This Sunday, we gather for an Ecstatic Dance at Pyramid Floor — an evening to step out of the usual rhythm and into presence, movement, and connection. Aesthetic Dance is a space to explore movement in your own way. There’s no choreography, no pressure, no need to perform. You’re invited to listen to your body, follow your impulses, and move as it feels natural to you — whether that’s dancing, stretching, resting, or simply being. We begin the evening gently with a cacao moment and a short singing circle to arrive together and connect with the space. From there, we open into a guided music journey. The DJ set will move through different textures — from soft and spacious, into playful and energetic, and back into stillness. You can stay in your own world or connect with others, always with awareness and respect. This is a space to reset, to feel, and to reconnect — with yourself and with the people around you. 🌀 Flow of the evening: 18:45 Arrival 19:00 Cacao 19:15 Singing Circle 20:30 Dance Journey 22:00 Closing Cacao & snacks included. Please bring comfortable clothes and a water bottle. If you feel the call, you’re very welcome to join 🤍 ticket and more info [https://linktr.ee/Sebastiaanlefuce](https://linktr.ee/Sebastiaanlefuce)

Just be yourself, no masks needed. \#\# 🗣️ 2\. Listen with Empathy When someone shares, listen with your full attention and an open heart. Avoid interrupting or offering unsolicited advice. Sometimes, the most powerful support is simply being present and listening. \#\#\# 🤝 3\. Respect Confidentiality What’s shared in the circle stays in the circle. Trust is the foundation of this group, please don’t repeat or post about anyone’s personal experiences outside of the meetup. \#\#\# 🧘 4\. No Judgment\, No Fixing Everyone’s experience is valid. This isn’t a space for therapy or debate, but for compassionate sharing. Let’s honor each person’s truth without trying to “fix” or analyze it. \#\#\# 🌍 5\. Diversity Is Our Strength We celebrate people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities. Discrimination, harassment, or exclusion of any kind will not be tolerated. Bring curiosity and kindness, we learn so much from each other’s perspectives. \#\#\# 🕊️ 6\. Honor the Flow Please arrive on time if you can, and stay as long as feels right. Our events are flexible, but being punctual helps maintain the shared rhythm and presence in the group. \#\#\# 📍 7\.

If you’re quiet, know that your presence still matters deeply. \#\#\# ☕ 8\. Kind Curiosity Over Critique It’s okay to disagree, that’s part of rich conversation. But let’s do so mindfully, with respect and empathy. Ask questions to understand, not to challenge. \#\#\# 🌸 9\.

I’m really glad to step into this role and continue what Behnam has built over the years − a community of empaths of all walks of life and ages coming together to connect and share their experiences. It feels both exciting and a little challenging but on the other side of fear is freedom and I'm willing to take that leap. In the past, I held space for women's circles for two years before I moved to Berlin so it’s meaningful for me to return to something I care deeply about − this time in a mixed group, which I’ve been wanting to explore for a while. I intend to uphold the values and guidelines of the Mingle, so if you would like to be part of the journey, join us at an upcoming meeting!

Life gets heavy sometimes — and we believe no one should carry that weight alone. This discussion circle is a supportive space where we gather to speak openly about our struggles, mental health journeys, and personal challenges — without fear of judgment. Whether you’re facing anxiety, burnout, grief, or just feeling lost, this is a time for real talk, real people, and real healing. 
We’re not therapists or professionals — we’re humans navigating life, just like you. What we offer is empathy and understanding. 
What to expect:
• Respectful conversations
• Listening without pressure to fix
• Optional prompts to get things flowing
• A calm, welcoming environment 
Come as you are. You don’t need to have it all figured out. 
The event takes place every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month and is donation based. If possible, please consider helping us cover the location and Meetup expenses with a small contribution. :) Paypal (Friends&Family): mhps.berlin@gmail.com

**A 3-part embodied dance journey for women** Part 1: 11.01.2026 Part 2: 08.03.2026 Part 3: 12.04.2026 **WORKSHOP 3 – HEART (Heart Opening – Soft Strength & Presence)** Donation based \| Only for women \| 12\.04\.2026 \| 14:30 – 17:00 \| MahaYoga Zentrum Building on the essence of **Devadasi – The Sacred Art of Temple Dance**, this series invites you into a deeper, guided exploration of your feminine body. Over three workshops, we journey through **hips, spine, and heart** – key gateways of feminine energy, sensuality, emotional flow, and presence. Each session stands on its own and together they form a coherent path of embodiment, soft activation, and inner awakening. This series is for women who long to: * feel more alive and at home in their bodies * reconnect with sensuality and softness * move beyond the mind and into felt experience * explore feminine energy in a grounded, respectful way * time to meet and share in a circle of women This is a **safe, welcoming space** for all women – all ages, all body types. Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely and feel beautiful. Come as you are, leave feeling **soft, alive, and deeply connected** to your feminine essence. **About Workshop 3** The heart space connects us to openness, trust, and authentic expression. In this final workshop of the series, we gently open the chest and shoulders through expansive, soft movements that invite breath, warmth, and emotional presence. This session supports you in: * releasing tension held in chest and shoulders * cultivating openness without pressure * reconnecting with tenderness and inner strength Through slow, expressive movement and deep relaxation, we create space for integration – allowing hips and spine to meet the heart. We conclude with a **Full Yogic Relaxation**, allowing the nervous system to settle and the experience to integrate deeply. This workshop completes the **Feminine Body Awakening journey**, inviting you to stand open, grounded, and embodied in who you are. **Address** Deutsche Akademie für traditionelles Yoga e. V. MahaYoga Zentrum Brunnenstr. 147 10115 Berlin (Directly at underground station U Bernauer Str. U8 [elevator exit])

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
