Embodied Connection - Exploring Self and Other Through Qigong
2024-10-17 19:00 - 21:00 UTC | Imago Space, Glogauer Str. 21, 1st Courtyard, door on the right, 1st floor, Berlin, 10999, Germany
In this workshop, we’ll come together to explore how Qigong can deepen our connection with both ourselves and others. We’ll begin with an introduction to Qigong, followed by solo practices that help ground, align and energise both body and mind. Once we’ve established this inner connection, we’ll shift our focus to connecting with another person. Through the practice of tuishou (pushing hands), we’ll practice an embodied approach to creating a nurturing, mutually supportive relationship—allowing us to feel and connect with each other on a deeper level.
Please bring comfortable clothes to wear and arrive at least five minutes early so that we can begin on time. To get to Imago Space, go through the gate into the first courtyard, take the door on the right, go to the first floor and ring the bell.

Cancelled due to illness - Befriending gravity #2 - Deepening awareness and alignment through Qigong
2024-10-01 19:00 - 21:00 UTC | Imago Space, Glogauer Str. 21, 1st Courtyard, door on the right, 1st floor, Berlin, 10999, Germany
Unfortunately, I am ill and have to cancel the workshop
Join us for another round of “Befriending Gravity,” an evening session where we’ll delve into the fundamentals of Qigong, a meditative movement practice rooted in Daoist philosophy.
We will practice key exercises that balance strength and flexibility while deepening our awareness for the natural flow of energy in our body following the Daoist ideals of naturalness, authenticity and presence. We will explore some core principles, such as Qi (felt sense of your body’s energy), wu wei (effortless action), the balance and separation of yin and yang, the three dantians (energy centres in the body), peng (buoyancy), and song (releasing tension).
Through applying and embodying these principles this session will help you befriend gravity as a source of healing, learning to align with its flow. Whether you are new to Qigong or seeking to deepen your understanding, this event offers a supportive space to explore your connection to your posture and energy flow. I am delighted to share these practices with you as they have taught me so much about myself and helped me restore my health after various sports injuries.
Please arrive at least five minutes early so that we can begin on time. To get to Imago Space, go through the gate into the first courtyard, take the door on the right, go to the first floor and ring the bell.

What we agree on - Session 2
2024-04-29 18:00 - 19:30 UTC | Online
What We Agree On (WWAO) is an event series designed to enhance our collective capacity to make sense of the world in these volatile times. In monthly 1.5-hour virtual sessions, we’ll use a special bottom-up sense-making approach to dive into critical topics, engage in meaningful discussions, and collaboratively form consensus on pressing issues. A goal of these sessions is to generate an agreement space that we can systematically build on. With WWAO we want to nurture the emergence of islands of coherence, characterised by high trust, safety and benevolence, which can grow into a network of informed, action-ready communities. Join us and be part of shaping a collective path forward, one agreement at a time.
WWAO is a free event. We’ll meet for our second meeting here on the 29th of April 2024, 18-19:30 CEST.
To register, sign up here.
Looking forward to making sense with you.
