Guided Walking Meditation in Berlin
«If you miss the here, you are likely also to miss the there»

Let’s Just Walk
Hello & Welcome
We are very happy that you are here and that you are considering joining us for our the walking meditation.
This time we will walk through the Park am Gleisdreieck and do our best to stay in the present moment inside the urban atmosphere of the Berlin city nature. We slow down, bring our awareness to the present moment, pay attention to the breath and together enjoy the experience of just walking.
As we are organizing this walk in cooperation with the Honigseele Studio, we also prepared several indoor practices, including mindful movement and slow walking meditation. We close this event with a guided sitting meditation and a sharing circle. There will be tea and snacks provided.
What is Mindfulness? And why walking meditation?
Mindfulness, rooted in ancient contemplative traditions such as Buddhist meditation, embodies a state of clear, stable, and non-judgmental awareness. While it forms the heart of Buddhist meditation, in recent decades, modern science has embraced mindfulness for its proven efficacy in bringing calm and clarity to the pressures of everyday life.
Our mind has a habit of rushing. We tend to leave the present moment, hurrying towards the future, sometimes towards the past. However, in order for us to create a joyful and liberated future, we need to learn how to take care of the present moment and how to appreciate the well-being that is already there. Therefore, we engage in a practice of mindfulness. Through this practice, we discover how to come back to the present moment. Walking Meditation is a great and beautiful way to do it. How often are you present while walking somewhere? When we walk mindfully, every step brings us to the here and now. We are walking, but we’re already there where we need to be. There is no need to rush.
Our intention is to introduce the practice of mindfulness in a gentle, accessible, and joyful manner. In this 2,5 hours workshop we will share with you different tools of practicing mindfulness in walking, movement and in stillness which you can use in your everyday life.
The workshop is for you if:
- You want to learn about mindfulness & meditation in an accessible and beginner friendly manner
- You already practice meditation and want to refresh your personal practice
- You are looking to deepen the feeling of being present
- You like the idea of meditation but feel like starting to sit on a cushion is a big step
- You would like to learn how to appreciate well-being and how to take care of the present moment
Good to know:

Come as you are. Everybody is welcome and nobody is being judged.
Book your sport soon. There is limited space!
We look forward to just walk with you.
Katya
Katya is a certified Dynamic Mindfulness, pre- and postnatal Yoga Teacher. Her conscious yoga practice began with Iyengar yoga in 2012. She has been living in Berlin since 2014. Looking for more freedom in her yoga practice she started to move away from linear movements and guru based tradition, which brought her to Dynamic Mindfulness School in Berlin. In 2021, she finished Foundational Dynamic Mindfulness Teacher Training with Tatjana Mesar.
Later on, she completed a Sacred Birth Prenatal Yoga & Doula Training and Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training at Awakened Spirit Yoga with Julia Forest, Stefanie Antunes and Alexa Rittichier.
She continues her education with Tatjana. Growing up with her four-year-old child. Besides yoga and mindfulness she has a passion for photography as she studied visual arts and worked as a visual editor and photographer.
Rijk
It was curiosity that brought Rijk in contact with physical yoga practice back in 2012. After years of extensive Vinyasa and Ashtanga practice in Amsterdam he moved to Berlin where he began to feel disconnected with the strict approaches to movement and the way teachings were channeled.
Curiosity again led him to the Dynamic Mindfulness school where in 2021 he finished the Foundational Teacher Training with Tatjana Mesar . In training he learned that befriending the body, inviting ‘play’ in movement and simply paying attention to arising sensations within the body allow for a sustainable & joyful practice.
He continues his education with Tatjana. When he is not teaching or practicing you will find him studying the body in the realms of biomechanics and anatomy, walking and occasionally you will find him doing nothing, just sitting. As a trained composer for electronic music, Rijk is intrigued by the sonic landscape. As a movement and meditation teacher he is intrigued by the body and its inner landscape.
