Everyday Superheroes…
Liebe Freund*innen des Baumhauses,
wegen Corona finden leider auch weiterhin keine Community Night oder andere öffentliche Veranstaltungen im Baumhaus statt. Aber wir sind zurück, mit zwei neuen Projekten! Wir laden sehr herzlich wieder zu Austausch und Zusammenarbeit ein…
Zum einen ist da die „Werkstatt LMP„. Als Teil der Berliner Ernährungsstrategie sollen sogenannte „LebensMittelPunkte“ entstehen – in Kooperation mit dem Baumhaus (wir freuen uns sehr, auch da wir uns darüber jetzt erstmal finanzieren können) und unserem Netzwerk. Wir entwickeln einen Best-Practice-Kiez!
Zum anderen gibt jetzt einen Call for Participation für unser Projekt „Rise of the Evengers„, die auch das Thema unseres diesjährigen (online) Emergent Berlin Festivals werden.
Wir hoffen, Euch geht es gut! Meldet euch wenn ihr mithelfen oder eigene Projekte verknüpfen wollt…

Flow is back! – (Outdoor Edition) – a special musical meditation series
We are back with our popular FLOW active meditation sessions…
Flow :: Special I.G.O. Sessions (last Wednesday of each month) (Outdoors for Corona safety) We meet at Baumhaus but do the session in the back yard of our building.
Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create:
• a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together…
• a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like…
Program:
19:00 – Doors open, meet and greet
19:45 – Head to the back yard of Panke e.V.
Introduction, warm up & first jams (planting seeds)

Scott Bolden, co-founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 3 years of facilitating the „Improvisational Groove Orchestra“ (I.G.O.) improv vocal jam sessions. Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments…
It is very easy to participate, no musical talent or training is required so anyone is welcome to join. Most of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. During these sessions we will also have special guest instrumental musicians, poets, writers and beat-boxers etc… If you would like to be a special guest, please send us a message.
Here are some recording samples from past sessions…

Introducing… The Corona Quaran-Times
(english only)
Getting together in person to communicate has become a bit prohibitive these days… So here is a first free flow creative experimental audio podcast containing some reflective thoughts, news and project updates. Enjoy!
Some Creative Reaction In The Moment…
I was doing a bit of vocal meditation today and it manifested itself into an improvisational „Corona Blues Sky Holi-Daze“ moment…
Stay safe, smart and supportive,
Scott
p.s. there is beauty in the little things growing on all around…

The Last Sounds of 2019…
Our last improv Flow/IGO meditation session of 2019. It was a very special evening with 17 people in the room, only 4 people had done this before. Somehow there was a very special vibe in the air…
Join in the fun every Thursday evening at the end of our regular community night or every last Wednesday of the month. Contact info@baumhausberlin.de for information on booking private sessions for your group or business.
Making Musical Magic & More…
On May 17, 2019 we gathered some of our favorite local musicians together at Panke e.V. for another special live „Immaculate Contraption“ improvisational performance during our „HalfTime“ party. Our goal was to collectively sound like a Dj without using any loops or prerecorded materials, everything must come live from the moments that we create together…
These samples are recorded on a video camera of our sound check and the beginning of our first set:
Excerpts from this session feature: Rakesh Raj Nayak – tabla, Mathieu Pe – trumpet & keyboard/synth, Daniel ‚Keyser‘ Reichel – electro drums, Genys Zhemavibracija – dub master with bitwig sponsored gear, Scottie B (Baumhaus) – vocal efx
If you know of musicians who would like to join in one of our next performances then have them contact us.
Even if you are not a musician and would like to join in the magic of a jam session, feel free to come to our regular „FLOW“ meditative jam sessions every last Wednesday of the month or every Thursday evening after dinner at Community Networking Nights.
