A Typical Day

We will have about 12 dyads (=partner sessions) per day, with short breaks and different kinds of meditations in between. Meditation here means doing things with heightened awareness. There will be walking meditations, eating meditations, a short working meditation, and just staying in silence here and there. You will also have the possibility to do yoga or exercise or rest during the day. However, there will be no entertainment of any kind, so no books, drawing, journals or cell phones and such.

Important Note

Outside of the dyads we will all be silent, which also means there will be no physical contact or eye contact but also no distraction by media of any kind. It is about an experience of self with as little distraction as possible. You can always talk to us, of course.

Upcoming Gatherings

Mini Gathering
Every Sunday, 13:00-14:15hrs
Yellow Yoga, Mariannenstr. 48 Berlin
10/12 EUR (will be donated)
  • Gelber Raum at Yellow Yoga Berlin
Photography: Michael Schmitz
The Gelber Raum at Yellow Yoga is a very peaceful spot inmidst the heart of Berlin. We meet for 90mins and do two 30mins rounds of the exercise that we do in the main Gatherings. Most participants go home with a positively surprising experience and with a calm mind. Write us a quick mail if you want to join because occasionally we have to cancel the Gathering and we wouldn't want you to stand in front of closed doors. Auf Deutsch und Englisch.
3-Day Gathering
~April 2023
near Neubrandenburg
~250 EUR for Food
& Accommodation
Photography: Janine Sametzky
The location for the 3-day Gathering is a yoga center or a friend of ours. She's an excellent cook and it's a lovely place for when the temperatures are rising again. We'll sleep alltogether in a big room. Costs are yet to be determined but depending on the number of participants might lie well below 250 EUR. The pictures above are not from that place yet. I'll update this post once we know when we will facilitate the Mini-Gathering.
8-Day Gathering
02 - 09 Oct. 2023
Nonna Hof, Wietstock, Germany
600 EUR for Food
& Accommodation
Photography: Janine Sametzky
Nonna NONNA Hof is a wonderful and calm place near the Baltic Sea. It's about 2.5 hours from Berlin or 5 hours from Hamburg. If you are traveling from further away, we recommend looking for possibilities to arrive a day earlier in Berlin. There will be a cheap regional train from Berlin, which we will of course help to organize so that you can travel as a group, which will also keep the travel costs down (max. 50€ total round trip from Berlin including transfer from the destination station to the venue). We will send out the exact travel description about 2 weeks before the seminar.

You possibly would like to read about all the experience and education we have but that's actually mostly stuff we'd like to leave behind for this event (and maybe even beyond that). But as you have an evercurious mind, here you are:

Michael has created an online German course which buys his breakfast. He's deeply in love with the question of who we all are since he's 18 and has participated and believed in a lot of things in his life until the idea of the Gathering came to him sitting under a Bodhi Tree.

Lydia is an Ashtanga teacher from the heart, a Jane of all trades and a wonderfully caring soul.

Mirjam is a soul based life coach, a wholehearted travel companion and a wonderful caretaker. Short: She's darn good at holding the space.

You'll be in very experienced hands, minds and hearts. We won't therapize you or put you under any pressure nor will we teach you anything (other than obviously that one technique) but we'll be there when you need us. And we are so good at being there, that we decided to organize The Gathering to be able to be there with you and, of course, to have you be there with us.
