Recommendation of the week

The Art of Dialogue & AI

Thursday, September 17th
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Tickets: 30€
📍Denizen GmbH, Kreuzberg (map)

Most conversations about AI start with productivity. This one starts with you.

How is AI changing the quality of our conversations - not just what we produce, but how we think, create, and relate? And what becomes possible when we stop asking “how do I use this?” and start asking “how am I changing because of it?”

This is an immersive, analog workshop for creative freelancers, coaches, and consultants who want to explore their relationship with AI - not just their output. No slides. No tools. Pens, paper, movement, and real conversation are the interface.

Facilitated by:

• Maha Alusi is an executive coach, entrepreneur, and leadership development innovator with over 5,000 hours of coaching experience and 25+ years in international business. She is the creator of the Art of Dialogue — an approach that makes the relational dynamics of conversation visible and learnable, now being explored through AI-supported research.

• Mohamed Amer is a coach, facilitator, and co-founder of SudsKompass. Born in Iraq and based in Berlin, he brings a background in cross-cultural communication and community building to his facilitation work. He has co-designed and led workshops and Pods for organisations, NGOs, and professional communities across Berlin, creating spaces where people can pause, reflect, and connect beyond surface-level exchange.

Our female cycles are our silent compasses to showing up more confident and authentic. For a long time, we thought becoming better space holders meant becoming more consistent, becoming louder, more visible. 

Showing up with the same energy every week.
Creating new classes.
Recording new content.
Connecting with the community.
Being fully present for the people we guide.
Growing our businesses.
Keeping everything moving.

And whenever we felt tired, uninspired, or simply slower than usual, we questioned ourselves. Were we not disciplined enough? Did we need to organize ourselves better? Push a little harder? 

Hello self-doubt. 

Discovering a pattern

It took us quite a while to realize that we weren’t failing. We were simply moving through different phases of our female cycle.

Over the last few years, learning more about female cycle awareness has profoundly changed the way we work, teach and live. Not because it suddenly made everything easier, but because it helped us meet ourselves with a little more understanding and a little more compassion.

And even when we could meet ourselves with that compassion - there was still the pressure of society. Yet, instead of constantly trying to meet the same expectations every single day, we slowly started asking ourselves a different question:

What do I need today?

It sounds simple, but for us it wasn’t.

Like many women, we had become very good at ignoring the subtle signals our bodies were sending us. Rest felt unproductive. Saying no felt uncomfortable. Slowing down often came with guilt. Not to mention, FOMO was very frequently present when we chose rest over social events. 

While we are now surrounded by people who totally understand a message of: ‘I am on day 2, I just want to stay home,’ there was a learning curve and courage to get there and stand up for our needs. 

Turning a burden into something profoundly life-changing

Our bodies don’t move in straight lines. Nature doesn’t either.

There are days when everything feels expansive. Ideas come easily, conversations flow, and holding space feels effortless. And there are other days when all we long for is quiet, a journal, a walk through the forest, or an afternoon without making decisions.

Neither version of ourselves is better. Both belong.

Understanding the different phases of our female cycle helped us stop judging these changes and start working with them instead of against them. We noticed that after our period, we naturally had more energy to create. It became a beautiful time to plan retreats, write newsletters or dream up new ideas.

Around ovulation, we often felt more open and connected. Recording videos, teaching workshops or having meaningful conversations suddenly required much less effort.

Later in our cycle, we became more reflective. We noticed what no longer felt aligned, where clearer boundaries were needed or where something in our businesses wanted to be simplified. Beyond this, a certain irritability often surfaced. In this part of her cycle, Susann found herself more prone to feelings of overwhelm and anxiety, while Uta frequently noticed a tendency to measure herself against others.

In addition to that, Perimenopause asks for another understanding of cycle awareness.

It took some months of female cycle tracking, observing our emotions, behaviors, reactions, to realize the patterns. The monthly biological change, hormone drops and everything connected to it on a physical level, clearly showed its impact in a holistic way. 

Our immune system weakens. The nervous system weakens. Our energy levels go down. On the other hand: our inner connection is much stronger, our intuition is clearer, and we feel our needs much better than during the more outgoing phases of the cycle. 

Slowly, we learned to use what once looked like a very annoying and challenging time of our cycles to our advantage: We started to plan our lives and business in alignment with our cycles - most of the time. 

Of course, life doesn’t always allow us to organise everything around it. We all have responsibilities, commitments, and days when we simply need to show up - especially as mothers or caregivers. So even now there are days we struggle. Sometimes, we teach on day three, and we meet up with that friend who is in town once a year on our most unsociable day, just because life is still life. 

Meeting ourselves with kindness

For us, cycle awareness has never been about following strict rules. It’s simply another way of listening. One more layer of understanding that helps us meet ourselves and others with more kindness and make choices that feel more sustainable. 

As space holders, we spend so much time learning to observe others. We notice how people breathe, where they hold tension, when they need encouragement, and when they need rest. But how often do we offer ourselves that same attention? Especially in the beginning of our journey, it’s easy to believe we need to keep doing more.

More trainings.
More workshops.
More retreats.
More content.
More classes.

We know that feeling well. Yet the space holders who have inspired us most over the years weren’t necessarily the ones with the most certificates or the most creative sequences. They were the ones who felt deeply authentic.

People trusted them because they trusted themselves. We don’t think authenticity is something we can learn overnight. We believe it grows every time we choose to listen to ourselves instead of comparing ourselves to everyone else. Every time we act according to our needs, rather than pleasing somebody else, the relationship with our inner wisdom and bodies strengthens. 

For us, that also includes understanding our nervous systems. Because we can only hear our inner voice when everything else becomes a little quieter.

Sometimes that looks like meditation.
Sometimes it’s a slow yoga practice.
Sometimes it is a conscious gaze into the sky.
Sometimes it’s sitting by the lake, watching the water without needing to be anywhere else.

Those moments remind us that we don’t have to earn our worth through productivity. That our value as space holders isn’t measured by how much we do, but by how present we are. This understanding has become such an important part of both of our journeys that we felt called to share it with others.

Integrating Female Cycle Wisdom

We don’t believe there is one perfect way to teach yoga or hold space. But we do believe that when we begin trusting our own rhythm instead of constantly trying to keep up with someone else’s, something softens.

The way we teach changes.
The way we lead changes.
The way we run our businesses changes.

Because we cannot expect others to be more compassionate with us and soft when it comes to the female cycle, if we don’t manage to integrate that wisdom for ourselves first. And perhaps most importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves changes too.

Exploring sequencing, nervous system regulation, voice activation and female cycle awareness, because they all come back to the same question:

How can we hold space from a place that feels true to who we are?

When I bought a piece of land on the flooded plains of northern Botswana in 2022, I didn’t have a master plan, or even know what I wanted to build. I only knew that something had changed in me the year before, on my first visit to this country, and that this time I would act instead of thinking myself out of it. What I completely underestimated was how much of myself would have to be dismantled and rebuilt along the way.

Today, Munga Plains is a yoga and safari retreat camp between Chobe National Park and the Okavango Delta. Told quickly, the story sounds easy, almost predestined: a man follows his dreams, leaves his corporate job, and successfully opens a safari camp in a country he barely knew. But the surface story hides everything that actually mattered, the scams and betrayals, the near-collapses, and above all the changes that had to happen in me for the place to exist at all. That’s why I ended up writing a book about it.

In this piece, I want to share what mattered most along the way: a week in the bush that changed the direction of my life, the numbing I had to quit before I could build a place dedicated to presence, and why the things we dream of building are never really built: they’re something we become.

A question in the bush

In 2021, I was a twenty-eight-year-old Sales Director at a tech company in Switzerland, with a lake-view apartment and a quiet, persistent feeling that I was living someone else’s life. Comfort can be a cage, and the more beautiful the cage, the harder it is to see the bars.

In May that year, I went on a mobile safari in Botswana: dome tents pitched directly on the ground inside the national parks, a bucket shower hung from a tree, no fences, no signal, no other people. The first nights were unnerving, freezing at every rustle in the dark, and one night elephants passed close enough to touch our tents. But within days the fear transformed into awe, and a humility I had never felt in a boardroom. Out there, you are not the protagonist. You are a guest.

Two things surprised me most. The first was how quickly we became kids again, unable to contain our excitement at each new sighting. We spent days tracking a pride of lions with our guide, and when we finally found them, close enough to see the whiskers on their faces, the joy was physical.

The second was the boredom. Mobile safaris involve a lot of waiting: long drives, hours at camp, no devices, no feed to scroll. At first the emptiness was uncomfortable, almost physically. I felt the phantom pull of my phone constantly; back home, boredom felt like failure. But with nothing to escape into, something shifted. My mind went quiet, and what replaced the noise was presence. In our over-scheduled lives, boredom might be the most underrated doorway to ourselves.

On our last day, at a gravel airstrip, our guide walked up to the pilot who had come to collect us and asked: “What is the news of the world?” We had been fully disconnected for a week, and it hadn’t mattered. That question, I understood later, summarized everything I had felt out there. We live constantly connected to the external world, and rarely present in our own. What I experienced in the bush for a week is what you might touch for an hour on the mat, and it’s something more and more of us need.

You will meet yourself before you meet your vision

Here is what the short version leaves out: almost everything went wrong, and most of it was my fault.

I invested in the land while keeping my job in Switzerland, trusting local partners and consultants to build ten thousand kilometers away from me. Money disappeared into invoices I couldn’t verify. Funding that had been promised never existed. By 2023, my savings were buried in a half-finished camp. Then two experienced German tour operators visited, and told me, harshly and directly, to give up. They could see the passion in me, and everything that passion was blinding me to. It stung for days, but it was one of the best things that ever happened to me: most people would have left without saying a word.

For a long time I told myself I was the victim of the people who deceived me. The harder, truer lesson was that my naivety and my ego had opened every one of those doors: the refusal to hear friends who raised concerns early, the wishful trust in anyone who told me what I wanted to hear. Any project of meaning holds up a mirror before it gives you anything.

You can’t build a home for presence while numbing yourself

The real turning point didn’t happen in Botswana. It happened in me.

For fifteen years I had run on a familiar operating system: perform all week, then drink and smoke it away on the weekend. It was normal, everyone around me lived the same way, which is exactly why I couldn’t see the trap. In May 2023, after one more weekend of celebrating success by destroying myself, I stopped both: no more alcohol, no more cigarettes. Initially just for a week, to reset. That week has lasted three years.

Sobriety gave me more than health: the clarity to face questions I had avoided for a decade, and the capacity to sit with discomfort instead of escaping it. Yoga, which I had long dismissed as not for me, became the practice that connected my body and mind for the first time. By the time the hardest confrontations of the project arrived, I was no longer the person who had first landed in Botswana. The camp could only become a place of presence once I had become present myself.

Constraints create vision

The idea that saved the project arrived on the drive back from that conversation with the German operators: an hour through Chobe National Park, no signal, elephants in the distance, alone with my anger.

When the anger passed, a question surfaced. What had I actually been trying to build? Not a lodge. Not a campsite. What I wanted to give people was what that first safari had given me: the transformation that becomes possible when you fully disconnect, move your body, and share the experience with strangers who become friends. The mat and the bush. That was the product. Everything else was logistics.

And suddenly, every “mistake” transformed. Structures built too far from the main camp, a design flaw for a hotel, became the perfect site for a yoga shala, reached by a meditative walk through the bush. The remoteness stopped being a problem and became the point. Some visions can only be found through failure.

A place is its people

Today I don’t run Munga Plains alone. I never really did. Mosetsana, who grew up in a neighboring village and quietly helped me see the truth when I couldn’t, is now our Director. She built the team: guides whose stories make guests cry at dinner, a kitchen crew turning local recipes into something people describe as transformative. My sister Morgane, who became a yoga teacher along a path that strangely mirrored mine, works with me every day to bring retreat leaders on board and share this adventure with their groups. Most of our team comes from the villages around us; the camp lives in relationship with that community.

People ask what makes the place feel the way it does. I didn’t design it. It emerged, from years of getting it wrong, from honesty about our struggles, from decisions made from values rather than convenience. Places built on polished plans feel polished. Places built through struggle feel alive.

This newsletter aims to demystify some of the holistic treatments which may be helpful or supportive to you, and make them feel more approachable.

To offer a closer look at the world of holistic care, we’ve asked 5 different practitioners in Berlin to share their insights on modalities that might be new to you.

Dry Needling with Katharina Maksimow

Katharina Maksimow is a Heilpraktikerin (licensed natural health practitioner), physiotherapist (B.Sc.), Master of Public Health (MPH) and Pilates instructor – with a focus on the treatment of musculoskeletal complaints: pain and functional disorders of the spine, joints and muscles.

When people hear the word needling, they often think of acupuncture. While both techniques use the same type of thin, sterile needles, Dry Needling takes a different approach: it directly targets trigger points - those stubborn, sensitive “knots” within muscles or the surrounding fascia that can contribute to pain, stiffness, restricted movement, and sometimes even discomfort in other areas of the body. Trigger points often develop as a result of physical strain, repetitive movements, injury, stress, or prolonged postural habits. To release trigger points, stretching, massage, or exercise alone are often not enough. More direct approaches, such as manual trigger point release therapy or Dry Needling, may be needed.

During a Dry Needling treatment, fine needles are inserted directly into these trigger points. This may produce a brief local twitch response, often followed by a feeling of release in the muscle. The treatment can help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation and mobility, and support the body’s natural recovery processes.

Many clients report that their muscles feel lighter, more relaxed, and easier to move after treatment. For some, the effects are noticeable immediately; for others, improvements develop gradually over the following days.

Dry Needling can be particularly beneficial for people experiencing neck and back pain, shoulder tension, headaches, jaw discomfort, gluteal, hip, and leg pain, sports-related muscle issues, or chronic muscular tightness. It can also be valuable for those who feel that massage or stretching provides only temporary relief and are looking for a more targeted approach to addressing underlying tension patterns.

From a holistic perspective, Dry Needling is about more than simply treating a muscle. The body functions as an interconnected system, where physical tension, nervous system regulation, movement habits, and even emotional stress can influence one another. Releasing long-held patterns in the tissues can create space not only for physical recovery but also for greater body awareness and overall well-being.

While Dry Needling is not a stand-alone solution for every condition, it can be a highly effective tool within a broader therapeutic approach, supporting the body’s innate capacity to restore balance, movement, and resilience.

Craniosacral Therapy with Marie-Sophie Kiepe

Marie-Sophie Kiepe is an osteopath, embodiment educator, founder of the touch.® – guiding people toward healing and self-awareness. She has an upcoming 30hr hybrid training “the touch” (Online: 06.09 - 04.10.2026 / In-person: 16.10-18.10.2026), more info here.

Craniosacral therapy didn’t appear out of nowhere. It grew directly from osteopathy.

Osteopathy was founded in the late 1800s by Andrew Taylor Still, a physician who believed the body has an innate capacity to heal itself and that health depends on the unobstructed flow of fluids and movement through the tissues.

One of Still’s students, William Garner Sutherland, took this deeper. Through years of self-experimentation, he discovered that the bones of the skull retain subtle mobility throughout life, and that the rhythmic movement of cerebrospinal fluid - the fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord - is a fundamental expression of health. He called this the Primary Respiratory Mechanism, and it became the foundation of cranial osteopathy.

It wasn’t until the 1970s that John Upledger separated this work from its osteopathic roots and rebranded it as craniosacral therapy, making it accessible to non-osteopaths. Wider reach - but a thinner container. In its original form, this was never a standalone technique. It was osteopathy listening at its most refined.

So what actually happens in a session?

From the outside, very little. A practitioner rests their hands gently on your head, sacrum, or feet. No cracking, no pressure, barely any movement. And yet people consistently leave feeling profoundly different.

A trained practitioner can feel the rhythm of cerebrospinal fluid through their hands. When that rhythm is restricted - through stress, trauma, or chronic tension - it affects how the nervous system functions and how contracted the body feels from the inside. Craniosacral therapy supports the body in releasing those patterns.

A few common misconceptions:

It’s not energy healing, though it can feel that way. The touch is light by design - not because nothing is happening, but because the nervous system responds better to invitation than force.

It can be especially helpful for:

• Chronic stress, burnout, and nervous system disregulation

• Headaches, jaw tension, and neck pain

• Trauma held in the body

• Postpartum recovery

• People who feel too activated for deeper bodywork

If you’ve ever felt like your body is stuck in a pattern it can’t shift on its own - this is often where craniosacral therapy starts to make sense.

Flower Essences with Tash English

Tash English is the founder of Avant Garden and a qualified medical herbalist, acupuncturist, homeopath, systemic structure and family constellation practitioner. She is also part of Nourished Collective, where she offers a year-long Sensory Seasonal Herbalism course and co-hosts the Herby at Heart podcast.

Flower essences are one of the oldest forms of medicine-making, when creating a flower essence, I work intimately with the plant, allowing it to gently whisper their secret healing wisdom.

They balance, repair, and stabilize our inner universe, working deeply on our emotional and energetic systems. They allow our vital force to flow freely, halting the domino effect that can lead to physical illness. They do not change who we are; instead, they enhance our positive qualities by resolving unhelpful emotions, thought patterns, and beliefs that no longer serve us.

They can be surprising and work in mysterious ways, often improving and enhancing areas of our lives that we did not expect. People often think that when something is soft, delicate, and subtle, it must have less to offer. Yet I have witnessed beautiful transformations in people, supported by flower essences in deep and healing ways. One should never underestimate the power of plants, no matter how small, gentle, or tender they may seem.

I create all of my own flower essences, allowing for a deeper connection with and understanding of each plant. In my clinic/praxis, they help patients reconnect with their body, mind and soul, allowing the life force within to flow symphonically and without restriction, supporting them in moving towards a balanced state of being.

They can be created into personalized mixes, alongside other healing modalities, added to herbal tonics or water, and applied both internally and externally. They are a beautiful and delicate form of herbalism, bringing a gentle touch to our inner, softer worlds. Flower essences are multifaceted. They can be used by every living being, including animals and plants. That’s what is so lovely about them, the sky is the limit, there are no restrictions, and the possibilities are endless. What a beautiful image.

Kobido Massage with Marta Lutomska

Marta Lutomska is the founder of Kobido.Berlin and a holistic practitioner specializing in Kobido Face Massage, as well as working with women as a retreat host, holistic wellness coach, and Dream Coach, with a background in yoga, somatics, and mindfulness.

More and more women are looking for an alternative to Botox - not because they want to fight aging, but because they want to age well. That’s exactly where Kobido comes in.

Originating in Japan, Kobido is a natural facelift massage that works far beyond the face. Through precise techniques, it stimulates circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, releases tension in the fascia and awakens the facial muscles. I often describe it as a workout for your face.

As we age, facial muscles lose tone just like the rest of the body, yet we rarely think about caring for them in the same way. Kobido supports circulation, the skin’s natural regeneration and collagen production. For me, it’s less about anti-aging and more about healthy aging - supporting your skin naturally for the years to come.

What drew me to this work, however, wasn’t only the incredible visible results. With a background in yoga, somatics and mindfulness, I’ve always been fascinated by the connection between body and mind. Our face tells the story of how we’ve lived. We carry stress in our jaw, hold back emotions, swallow unspoken words and repeat the same expressions day after day. Hours spent looking at screens, rushing from one responsibility to the next and rarely allowing ourselves to truly slow down and rest gradually become written into our features.

Every ritual I create begins by releasing this deep tension before moving into lymphatic drainage, lifting techniques and acupressure. As the face softens, so does the nervous system.

Most women come for the natural lift, healthy glow and a gentler alternative to injectables. They return because they leave not only looking naturally younger and more radiant, but also feeling lighter, calmer and more like themselves. Many describe a deep sense of peace, clarity, fresh ideas or simply remembering what it feels like to truly slow down.

For me, that’s the true essence of my Kobido Rituals: not fixing anything, but supporting your skin, calming the nervous system and helping you reconnect with yourself - so you leave glowing not only on the outside, but from within.

Oxygen & Ozone Therapy with Janine Alonzo

Janine Alonzo is a licensed holistic practitioner focused on intestinal health, fatigue & burnout, hormonal health and detoxification.

While it might sound like a modern innovation, oxygen and ozone therapy is actually a well-established modality in European holistic care, with roots tracing back to the 1950s and 60s. Today, it is frequently utilized as a supportive approach for individuals navigating chronic symptoms and looking to optimize their long-term well-being.

The Concept Behind It - In simple terms, the therapy involves administering a precise mixture of medical-grade oxygen and ozone intravenously. The primary goal of this approach is to support vascular health and improve microcirculation. By assisting with blood vessel dilation and encouraging healthy blood flow, it aims to optimize how efficiently the body delivers and utilizes oxygen at a cellular level - giving the body’s natural systems a supportive foundation to function from.

Areas of Application - Because this therapy focuses on foundational circulation and cellular vitality, it is often introduced as a complementary option for complex, draining health challenges. In my practice, it is commonly used to support individuals dealing with:

• Chronic Fatigue & Long COVID: To assist with persistent low energy and brain fog by optimizing oxygen delivery.

• Support for Chronic Infections: Such as Lyme disease or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Ozone is recognized in holistic medicine for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties (antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal), making it a valuable tool for terrain support.

• Vascular Care & Migraines: To encourage healthy blood flow and support vascular elasticity (useful for conditions like atherosclerosis).

Ultimately, this modality is not about a quick fix, but about creating the internal conditions necessary for the body to rest and recover. It is a gentle yet profound way to support your system from the inside out.

I am a researcher of the mystic, of felt sense and lived experience. Alongside academic research in this field in my psychiatry work, I dive into different kinds of topics related to anything witchcraft and spiritual. I just observe.

Over the last seven years of my life, I have kept an altar. Always visible. Sometimes more active, following the seasonal celebrations. Other times not at all. But what I witness whenever I return is the relationship I built a long-lasting feeling of returning home.

I cleanse the altar, brush off the dust with my tiny broomstick I bought from a witch in Mississippi, and just start right there. In the contemporary world having an altar can feel easily like “something else I have to do”, so starting simple can take the pressure away for me. I have had emotional breakthroughs in front of my altar, breathing through them, holding myself and all of my heart. These memories flashing by, I notice how much this space helped me to step into contact with myself. And alongside that, I can observe how much I am — right now — in contact with myself.

The History of Altar-Making

Altars go far back in history and in spirituality across almost every culture. Keeping an altar has long been associated with worshipping, praying to deities and saints and also with the more complicated inheritance of organized religion. Long-held emotions like shame and embarrassment tend to surface here too. But today I want to speak about altar keeping for the self, without being a member of any particular religion.

So I went on that quest, reading on Reddit, on Substack, in old texts.

What I found is that altars and shrines, though often used interchangeably, carry distinct meanings across traditions. An altar is primarily a place of action, where offerings are made, rituals performed, prayers sent. Think of the central table in a church where the Eucharist is celebrated, or the sacrificial altars of Greek mythology adorned with offerings to the gods. A shrine, on the other hand, is more of a sacred dwelling, a home for a relic, a statue, a holy image. Mary standing in her niche, framed and housed. The Japanese lararium or spirit houses in Buddhism. The ancestor table. A place of veneration rather than active ritual.

The word itself points to something: altare, from Latin: a raised surface, a table of offering. What is placed upon it is meant to be seen, to be tended, to be cycled through.

Across cultures Italian devotional corners, Pagan shrines, Roman lararia, Hellenic practice, the objects differ, but the impulse is the same. To gather the sacred. To mark something as worthy of attention. As Oscar Wilde once said: “It is only the sacred things that are worth touching.”

And perhaps that is exactly the point.

What altar-keeping has taught me

Something I came across in my research stayed with me: the physical state of your altar is a reflection of your inner state. I know this feeling intimately. The guilt of neglect. The altar gathering dust while life moves fast and loud. As my mind is infused with psychology this is also how I approach many things. Altars invite us to engage with the recurring patterns of our everyday lives, and perhaps hold a ritual for ourselves to set a marker of important life-events. They give us an opportunity to honor, for closure, a new beginning or simply gratitude. This conscious look at ourselves, reactions or pattern that are often thousands of years old can widen our horizon beyond simple judgment, thought, and human behavior and it can offer valuable implications across so many fields for example education in kindergartens and schools.

Altars are about willpower.

There is so much untapped potential in looking at rituals and altars through a psychological lens. Maybe these were the psychotherapy of ancient times — much like how Clarissa Pinkola Estés so beautifully describes it through her analysis of fairy tales.

What altar keeping has taught me is this: the relationship doesn’t end when you step away. It waits. And when you return even after months something ancient in you recognizes the space. In psychotherapy, I follow the belief in the personalization of inner felt sense. Through giving form to what lives inside us; through image, through object, through presence we become able to meet what we usually avoid. Turning something invisible into a visible entity makes it easier to approach, to negotiate with, or simply speak to.

Making your own altar

Find a place for your altar

If you are looking for the right place to set your altar, I would suggest going with your intuition. You can set it somewhere more private, like your bedroom — a spot that invites you to slide down from your bed in the morning and sit right there as you wake up. I also had my altar in my living room, opposite the door I would walk through, so it was the first thing that caught my eye as I came in.

An altar is a place that bundles thought. You can charge your favorite jewelry there, your intentions, your wishes. So it is worth thinking carefully about placement. Ideally it sits somewhere that doesn’t disrupt the natural flow of Qi in your room, but rather elevates it — you could look up Feng Shui to dive deeper into what that means. I wouldn’t suggest placing your altar directly in front of a window, as energy naturally escapes a room through windows.

Another experience I had: it becomes special when you place your altar where the light falls in throughout the day, at its most beautiful hour. It gives you an opportunity to pause — innehalten. It makes you want to sit down, exhale, and just observe.

Something else altar setting has taught me is that it offers a kind of aesthetic recharge. Being an urban human these days can make you feel trapped sometimes, in a maze of concrete. My thoughts calm down when I look at something that carries memory, love, or beauty for me.

Your altar doesn’t have to live indoors, either. When you spend a day in the forest with a friend and settle somewhere for a break, you can give gratitude to the ground right there — make an altar for Mother Earth, bring offerings like lentils, coffee grounds, beans, or flowers.

Finding the right place for your altar is, at its core, a way of sharpening your intuition. You learn along the way, through observation.

Gather artifacts that symbolize what matters to you

Once you’ve found your place, the next layer is what you choose to put there. I have learned, that natural materials carry a different kind of weight — wood, bone, crystals, herbs. Things that were once alive, or are still alive in some quiet way, hold something that manufactured goods simply don’t. There is a kind of energy in objects born from nature, a substance that feels closer to consciousness itself, and that makes them more powerful to work with.

The same is true for handmade things. A bowl someone shaped with their hands, a piece of jewelry someone strung together with intention. These carry the focused will of the person who made them, and that focus becomes part of what the object holds when you bring it into ritual or your life.

This is also why I would encourage you to be selective. Not everything needs a place on your altar, only what truly feels aligned. It is less about collecting and more about curating a small, living archive of what matters. There are surely lists of sacred objects all over the internet but what I find to be most powerful is what’s meaningful to YOU.

Maintaining that space, dusting it, rearranging it, returning to it again and again is its own form of devotion. The same effort that goes into crafting something by hand goes into tending an altar over time.

Building an altar with your own hands

Last year, the idea came up to host a workshop about making your own altar. Having grown up in a family of craftspeople, it felt natural to want to build an altar with my own hands and paint it too. So I did exactly that, as a pilot project, and the dream kept weaving itself further from there.

Right now I am working on building ten altars out of wood. You’ll be able to sign up, pick your own, and paint it yourself. The workshop will take place this winter, around the solstice — a meaningful seasonal shift to elevate whatever you create there, and to let your altar carry that turning point with it from the very beginning.

About Maya Hahn

Maya is a Berlin-based psychotherapeutic counselor, facilitating therapy-informed sessions at Resonance Room, Berlin, and online. She offers 1:1 counseling both as short-term support for people navigating the waitlist for an insurance-covered therapy spot, and as longer-term accompaniment for those seeking a sustained therapeutic relationship.

Through her work in psychiatric research and her academic studies in psychotherapy, she builds a bridge between the Western-trained mind and Eastern mystical spirituality. Her focus is on decolonizing therapy: examining how the field has appropriated and commercialized modalities that indigenous peoples and tribal communities have used to heal for centuries, often without acknowledgment or reciprocity. Alongside her counseling practice, she is a Reiki master and workshop and retreat facilitator.

This same commitment extends beyond the individual: Maya also works with organizations to rethink their approach to mental health, helping companies move past checkbox wellness and embed genuine wellbeing into the fabric of the workplace.

​→ This summer Maya is hosting a 6-day retreat in Norway that weaves together yoga practices, workshops, breathwork, and Ayurvedic nourishment. One with Nature Retreat from July 19th to 24th is an opportunity to recharge in Norway’s rich forests.

The Spark in the Machine: How the Science of Acupuncture Explains the Mysteries of Western Medicine | Dr Daniel Keown | 2014

As someone who has had the privilege to live in Eastern and Western parts of the world — and is now studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — this book really resonated with me in the way it explores the bridge between both systems of medicine, rather than treating them as opposites.

The writer, originally trained as a Western doctor before turning to TCM, reflects on how Western Medicine has largely developed through studying the anatomy of dead bodies — dissected, scanned, analysed — while TCM, refined over thousands of years, observes the living body through fascia, meridian channels and the movement of Qi. For me, this book offers a gentle but important critique of the limits of viewing the body purely mechanically, as opposed to a whole, living organism.

As a movement facilitator and student of Taoism, what stayed with me most was the recognition of Qi as the body’s organising life force; how energetic imbalance may exist long before illness fully appears physically. This shifts the perspective of pain too — not simply as something to suppress or remove immediately, but as the body trying to communicate something deeper.

I see this book as an invitation that opens up a thoughtful conversation about how Eastern and Western medicine might learn from one another more than we often allow, and perhaps this way of non-binary, cognitive dissonance could be the way forward for a more harmonious humanity, on a wider scale.

A World Appears: A Journey into Consciousness | Michael Pollan | 2026

This book explores what we actually know today about the only thing we can truly know for certain: the astonishingly obvious, yet completely elusive and magical thing called consciousness.

It takes you on a fascinating journey through different theories of consciousness, the latest discoveries in neuroscience, and the limitations of our attempts to comprehend a phenomenon that seems to be a hallmark of life itself, and perhaps reaches even further. Along the way, it builds a bridge to the deeper insights of wisdom traditions that illuminate places our thinking minds don’t seem able to reach.

What I really enjoyed about this book is that Michael Pollan lets us tag along on his own quest for understanding and share in his curiosity, doubts, confusion, and awe. Thoughtfully researched, beautifully written, entertaining, and illuminating, this book will leave you feeling more amazed, humbled, and connected to the mystery of conscious experience.

Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do | Dr. Wallace J. Nichols | 2014

After being called to live close to the sea since my studies, the past years finally brought clarity on what that call was really about. Not, as I initially thought, to surf whenever I feel like it, but about a much deeper connection to the sea and its healing powers.

A few years ago I came across Blue Mind, written by marine biologist Dr. Wallace J. Nichols. It became my go-to book for understanding not only the spiritual pull towards the sea but the scientific one too.

We are human beings made up of about 70% water. It is only natural to feel drawn to it. But Nichols goes further: he explains how water makes us happier, more connected, and better at what we do.

I have been living on islands like Sri Lanka and Bali for the past ten years, always surrounded by water, always connected to it in different ways. As someone who is intuitive but equally drawn to the science of things, this book has been my foundation and regular go-to guide for understanding water’s influence on mental health, on the body, and on the difference between living in a flow state and simply pushing through.

If you feel drawn to water but have never quite understood why, this book gives language to something you may have always felt.

As Bruce Lee said, “Empty your mind, be formless, be shapeless - like water. Be water, my friend.”

In the Absence of the Ordinary: Soul Work for Times of Uncertainty--Essays on grief, change, and sacred transitions | Francis Weller | 2025

I first came across Francis Weller and his work a couple years ago when I was introduced to his book “The Wild Edge of Sorrow” during a time of profound heartbreak. Since then his work and teachings around grief tending & ritual have been a big influence on my own work as a ceremonialist & facilitator.

His newest publication “In the Absence of the Ordinary” has been a cherished companion to me over the past few months when I‘ve been sitting with many fundamental questions in my personal & professional life.

The book contains several essays centering around different topics. From the wisdom of interdependence to gratitude, the art of ritual, the power of place, containment and slowing the f* down to “geologic speed”. Ah, and so much more.

Each essay carries its own wisdom and medicine to guide us through the “Long Dark” — this is what Weller calls these current times we are collectively (& most likely also individually) finding ourselves in. I personally can for sure relate to it.

In an epidemic of loneliness & individualism, Weller reminds us of the greater, wild web of life that we are all an intrinsic part of; we just simply need to become aware of all the relations seen & unseen that already exist (and have existed ever since).

It is a book I will come back to again and again. A treasure I will keep close to my heart (and gift to dear friends).

Briana is an international healer, initiator, yoga guide, full-spectrum birthworker & and Reiki Master Teacher.

I read for joy, for answers, and for the sheer thrill of being dropped into another world. So when I was asked to share one book title, I laughed. How could I possibly choose just one? Yes, I’m a spiritual facilitator who devours books with topics ranging from healing and consciousness, to dragons, magic, and, dare I say it… spicy romance. I contain multitudes, doesn’t everybody?

As a woman who proudly reads solely for pleasure (currently on a 139-week reading streak—thank you, Kindle!) I couldn’t narrow it down to a single favorite.

Instead, here are a few titles that I’ve loved lately:

• Pussy Prayers: Sacred and Sensual Rituals for Wild Women of Color by Black Girl Bliss – an oldie but forever goodie; powerful, and unapologetically sacred

• Love in Color: Mythical Tales from Around the World by Bolu Babalola – a retelling of mythical tales from around the world

• The House Witch Series by Delemhach – cozy, magical, and genuinely LOL funny

• Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros – I mean, if you haven’t read + reread this series, where have you been?

• Rooted: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature, and Spirit by Lyanda Lynn Haupt

This month, Senlë is launching their summer scent and hosting a mini flower bouquet workshop in collaboration with Maypop Flowers for the occasion. The launch event will be a relaxed, walk-in event, so feel free to stop by Senlë this Sunday to explore their new summer scent.

People ask me this more often than you might think. Why a hotel? Why not a retreat center tucked away in the mountains, or a rented villa, or one of those purpose-built wellness venues with matching linen and a juice bar?

The honest answer is: because I know the difference. And once you know it, you can’t un-know it.

Before I became a movement coach and founded FLEX&FLOW®, I spent years as a fashion stylist. I travelled constantly: campaigns, shoots, editorials, clients across Europe and beyond. I lived in hotels. Not just stayed in them, lived in them. And I learned very quickly what separates a space that looks good from a space that actually feels good. A beautiful lobby means nothing if the mattress is wrong or the bathroom smells like someone else’s decisions. You notice the magazines they chose to put out. The books on the shelf. Whether the merch makes sense or feels like an afterthought. Whether the interiors were curated by someone with a point of view or assembled by committee. Whether the scent when you walk in is the right one. Design is not decoration. Design is how a space makes you feel before you have the words for it.

That standard never left me. It runs through my classes, my method, and absolutely my retreats.

The first thing I think about when choosing a retreat location is not the spa.

It’s the journey there.

I made a deliberate decision early on: every FLEX&FLOW® retreat will be somewhere genuinely reachable. Not forty minutes from a budget airport with two connections. Reachable by train, by car, or yes, by a reasonable flight. Because I believe the travel itself is part of the retreat. The moment you board a train and watch your city disappear behind you, something starts to shift. The distance does the first part of the work. You are already arriving before you arrive.

This is exactly why I keep returning to South Tyrol. Bolzano has its own airport with direct connections from Berlin. It sits at the intersection of rail lines from Munich and Verona. You get there without spending half your day in transit. And the landscape you move through, the Alps, the vineyards, the light, is already doing something to your nervous system before you even arrive.

A retreat that requires a complicated journey before it even begins is asking a lot. I prefer to let the ease of arrival be part of the welcome.

And while we are on the subject: I also made a conscious choice not to host retreats ninety minutes outside Berlin in Brandenburg. Real distance from daily life is part of what makes a retreat work. You need enough geography between you and your routine for the shift to happen.

When I walked into Hotel Schwarzmied in Lana for the first time, I understood immediately.

Award-winning architecture. A Susanne Kaufmann Spa. Pools among the clouds, amber vineyards, low golden light, the Alps in every direction. A slow-food philosophy rooted in local ingredients that makes every meal feel intentional rather than obligatory.

This is what I mean by curation. Not just a beautiful room. A considered world.

Parkhotel Mondschein in Bolzano is the same spirit, entirely different character. Dating back to 1330, renovated with the precision of someone who deeply respects both history and design. The parquet floors, the high ceilings, the pool and park tucked inside the city. And outside the doors, Bolzano itself. A city worth exploring. Galleries, markets, restaurants that have nothing to do with the retreat and everything to do with why you will feel alive while you are there.

I did not build FLEX&FLOW® retreats around remote escape-to-nowhere venues. I built them around places where movement, inspiration, and real life exist in the same breath.

Here is something nobody talks about in the retreat world: participation freedom.

At a traditional retreat center, your day is managed. You eat what the kitchen prepared for the group. You coordinate if you want a coffee at an unusual hour. There is one room, one pace, one program, and you adapt.

At a hotel, you are a guest. Breakfasts and dinners are part of the retreat. We eat together, we share the table, that is part of it. But if you want to add something from the a la carte menu, you just do. If a dietary need shifts last minute, a proper restaurant kitchen handles it without drama or reorganization. You get a coffee from the bar at 10pm without asking anyone’s permission. You choose your room from actual options, different categories, different views, different configurations, and nobody is forcing you to share with a stranger unless you want to.

That autonomy is not a small thing. It is respect. It signals trust. And when people feel that freedom, when they know the retreat holds them without controlling them, they relax in a way that no amount of guided breathing can manufacture. A relaxed body learns faster, moves freer, and opens in ways that surprise even the most experienced movers.

The community that builds at these retreats still surprises me, every time.

Strangers walk into a space. Within hours, that FLEX&FLOW® energy is there. People recognizing each other through the method, through the movement, through something that goes way deeper than a workout.

I think about my old life sometimes. Styling was a loner’s job. Beautiful on the surface, but surface was all there was. You worked alone. Everyone left alone. I had no idea I was building the opposite of that. But I was. And I am.

The community builds itself every single time. And it builds faster, more genuinely, in spaces that already carry their own energy.

A retreat idea never starts with a spreadsheet.

It starts with a city working on me. I arrive somewhere, I let it land, I let it work on me. And if it keeps coming back to me weeks later, I know something is there. There is a city I visited a while ago that has been doing exactly that. Warsaw. The food scene, the architecture, the specific kind of creative energy that belongs entirely to itself. Nothing is confirmed yet. But I am watching it. And when the right space meets the right moment, you will hear about it.

That is what happens when you move through the world with this standard running through you. You notice things. You file them away. And eventually, you build something worthy of the place.

This November, there are two FLEX&FLOW® retreats:

The first is at Hotel Schwarzschmied in Lana, South Tyrol, November 8th to 12th. Five days, eight curated sessions, full access to the Susanne Kaufmann Spa, daily breakfast at La Fucina. This April, I returned for the second FLEX&FLOW® Special Week there, a few days of immersive sessions before the full retreat later in the year. The landscape in early November is golden and warm, the kind of beauty that makes you wonder why you ever stayed home. You can find all the details and secure your spot here: The FLEX&FLOW® Retreat x Schwarzschmied

The second is at Parkhotel Mondschein in Bolzano, November 19th to 22nd. Four days, six sessions, three-course dinners at Luna Restaurant, the pool, the park, the fireplace. This one holds a particular place for me. November will be my third time bringing FLEX&FLOW® to Mondschein. Beyond the retreats, I also teach open classes there for the hotel’s locals and members. It has become a real home. The connection is genuine, and you feel it the moment you walk in. A soft landing into the season, in a place I love. Details and booking here: The FLEX&FLOW® Retreat x Parkhotel Mondschein

Both retreats are intentionally small. Intimate by design, as everything FLEX&FLOW® is.

You can feel the standard before you can name it. And once you feel it, you expect it everywhere.

That is the point.
