Community Night, Buffet & Groove Meditation @ Das Baumhaus Berlin | Berlin | Berlin | Germany

Baumhaus Community Networking Night

Baumhaus weekly Community Networking Night is about bringing together people from all walks of life who share a common desire; to act on their impulse to do what they can to make the world a better place.

Its about enjoying meeting interesting people in an authentic and informal atmosphere, developing organic relationships, through sharing perspectives and collaboratively supporting each other.

What makes community nights in the Baumhaus really special is the great vibe of the space and people…

Program

Come as early as 17:00 to join the food preparation or a bit later to enjoy some informal networking and community building during the Potluck Buffet. Bring what you have from home to share. After dinner we dive into another active meditative jam session… Feel most welcome to come and join us!

17:00 Doors open: Bring food to share & help preparing the Potluck-Buffet
20:00 Buffet & chill & open networking in the Open Greeting Zone*
20:45 Announcements (1min), News, Food for Thought
21:30 I.G.O.** Vocal Jam Session – start moving to the back room, warming up and then jamming!

The address is Gerichtstr. 23 in the front house on the ground floor, you can walk in our door from the sidewalk. We have some drinks available at the door but it is ok to bring your own too.

I.G.O. Thursday Meditative Vocal Jam Sessions @ Baumhaus

We meet every Thursday to listen, respond, observe and curiously play with the sounds our voices create together. Our objective is to tune into the common feeling we are developing in the present moment.

Most of what we do is with our eyes closed. This allows everyone to be very focused on only the sound space without any other distractions. We usually are more beginners than experienced singers, and that’s absolutely fine. It is a learning process in progress, each time balancing ourselves in volume and expression to merge into the group sound space, allowing everyone to hear and be heard, naturally developing our own musical styles.

All levels and voice types are welcome! Just make sure to be on time: Scott will explain a few basic and intuitively understandable concepts to make it super easy to dive in for everyone.

35 YEARS BHOPAL-DISASTER: the biggest corporate crime of all time
Language: English, whisper translation to German if needed.
Registration at mariesophiekeller@gmail.com
35 years ago, a gas leak of the highly toxic pesticide component Methyl isocyanate caused over 15.000 deaths and more than half a million injuries in the Indian city of Bhopal. Even though the accident dates back to 1984, the tragedy continues. The factory building is weathering down in the heart of the million city of Bhopal. Water and soil remain contaminated. The people that live around the factory building become sick, children are born with disabilities. Meanwhile, the corporate culprit Dow Chemicals/Union Carbide is getting away with impunity. The activist Rachna Dhingra and the Bhopal survivor Nousheen Khan are in Berlin to illustrate the impacts this major corporate crime has had on the city of Bhopal and its people. In addition, they will share with us their fight against the multinational corporation. Afterwards, we want to discuss the roots of corporate impunity, as well as strategies to dismantle it.

Flow – a special musical meditation series
Nov 27 um 19:00 – 22:00
Flow - a special musical meditation series @ Das Baumhaus Berlin | Berlin | Berlin | Germany
Flow :: Special I.G.O. Sessions (last Wednesday of each month)
 
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 – Introduction, warm up & first jams (planting seeds)
 20:30 – Break
 20:45 – Second round of jams (human sequencer game + other fun stuff)
 21:30 – Closing & feedback
+ TBD – poets, singers, instrumentalists etc. send mail to info@baumhausberlin.de to reserve a guest spot
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.
 
Important – if you have never done this in the Baumhaus before and can not make it in time for the intro and warm up, then please wait until the next session to join. It is very important to understand the methodology and warm up in the group before joining in!
 
Here are some recording samples from past sessions…

*Pay-as-you-feel €8 – €15 :: We ask our guests to consider: • their personal budget • the value of their experiences in the Baumhaus • the value of supporting the Baumhaus so that we can continue facilitating these and various other types of experiences
** Bring snacks to share, we have bio drinks for sale or you can bring your own!

Workshop: Business model - Sustain the project by structuring and optimizing the exchange of values

a workshop by “comit”:

To build a sustainable project, a balance has to be found between the project’s vision and its financial viability: how to make the project resilient without losing sight of its mission, and how to fulfill the vision without exhausting the stakeholders?

comit helps entrepreneurs and NGOs develop sustainable projects, by conceiving and adapting methods and tools to empower, entrepreneurs, freelancers and managers to structure the business-model of their organisations. Throughout this workshop, we will introduce a way to set up a strong business-model in line with the vision. This approach will then be applied on your projects through exchanges and examples.

6pm: Doors open
6.30pm – 8pm: Workshop in the back room of Baumhaus
8pm: Community Dinner (we’ll join Baumhaus Community Night in the front room)

Its about enjoying meeting interesting people in an authentic and informal atmosphere, developing organic relationships, through sharing perspectives and collaboratively supporting each other.

What makes community nights in the Baumhaus really special is the great vibe of the space and people…

Program

Come as early as 17:00 to join the food preparation or a bit later to enjoy some informal networking and community building during the Potluck Buffet. Bring what you have from home to share. After dinner we dive into another active meditative jam session… Feel most welcome to come and join us!

17:00 Doors open: Bring food to share & help preparing the Potluck-Buffet
20:00 Buffet & chill & open networking in the Open Greeting Zone*
20:45 Announcements (1min), News, Food for Thought
21:30 I.G.O.** Vocal Jam Session – start moving to the back room, warming up and then jamming!

All night – please volunteer to help keep the space clean, we have no staff, just a network of people who help each other out…

The address is Gerichtstr. 23 in the front house on the ground floor, you can walk in our door from the sidewalk. We have some drinks available at the door but it is ok to bring your own too.

** Improvisational Groove Orchestra (I.G.O.) – a fun way to experience authentic connection and community through exploring a commonly created sound space. (description & links to examples below)

I.G.O. Thursday Meditative Vocal Jam Sessions @ Baumhaus

We meet every Thursday to listen, respond, observe and curiously play with the sounds our voices create together. Our objective is to tune into the common feeling we are developing in the present moment.

Most of what we do is with our eyes closed. This allows everyone to be very focused on only the sound space without any other distractions. We usually are more beginners than experienced singers, and that’s absolutely fine. It is a learning process in progress, each time balancing ourselves in volume and expression to merge into the group sound space, allowing everyone to hear and be heard, naturally developing our own musical styles.

All levels and voice types are welcome! Just make sure to be on time: Scott will explain a few basic and intuitively understandable concepts to make it super easy to dive in for everyone.

Jan 29 um 19:00 – 22:00
Flow - a special musical meditation series @ Das Baumhaus Berlin | Berlin | Berlin | Germany
Flow :: Special I.G.O. Sessions (last Wednesday of each month)
 
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 – Introduction, warm up & first jams (planting seeds)
 20:30 – Break
 20:45 – Second round of jams (human sequencer game + other fun stuff)
 21:30 – Closing & feedback
+ TBD – poets, singers, instrumentalists etc. send mail to info@baumhausberlin.de to reserve a guest spot
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.
 
Important – if you have never done this in the Baumhaus before and can not make it in time for the intro and warm up, then please wait until the next session to join. It is very important to understand the methodology and warm up in the group before joining in!
 
Here are some recording samples from past sessions…

Baumhaus Emergency Meeting!
Jan 30 um 20:30 – 21:30

• According to the International Panel on Climate Change, we have only 9 years left to radically change how we do things on this planet to protect what life there still is…
• According to the Baumhaus financial situation, we have only 2 weeks left to survive unless we get some help to get us through the next 2 months…
 
Come find out what our major announcements are & what you can do to help save both this Thursday after our Community Networking Night buffet for a short 20min talk with Q & A.
The talk will start at 21:00 so please arrive on time, there is other normal program that happens before and after.
 
/////////////////////////
Dear Friends, Supporters and Fans,

We are currently facing a temporary existential financial emergency/crisis that we could really use some help resolving.  As you may know, Baumhaus has been completely self-financed without receiving any public funding. So far we have been flexible and able to react to the needs of the broader sustainability community in Berlin and even support several social projects with pro bono work. Now the challenge to keep all this going is a bit too much…

The good news is that we are currently in extensive talks with the city to fund us for a project – The bad news is that we are fighting to keep the Baumhaus open until then and pay all the bills the next 2 months. We find ourselves in this “funding gap” situation because since an extensive knee surgery in September, Scott is still at very limited capacity, and now we are also in the middle of the “low season” for space rentals, which usually lasts from December to March…

Now we are reaching out to our broader community to see if there are some ways to help us fill our 2000€ budget gaps for February and March.  You can help by connecting us with any ideas or leads to institutions, businesses, individuals or organizations who:
• need a space to rent for their next events
• could be interested to book any of our sustainability workshops or Baumhaus tours/talks
• could be interested in any of our services to develop sustainable projects, products, spaces or systems
• would like to make a donation ( https://www.baumhausberlin.de/en/spenden/ )

If you have any leads or info then please contact us at info@baumhausberlin.de.  Also, feel free to join our next Community Networking Night on Thursday Jan 30 when we will host a short talk with Q&A after diner at 21:00.

Peace,
Your Baumhaus-team

I.G.O. Thursday Meditative Vocal Jam Sessions @ Baumhaus

We meet every Thursday to listen, respond, observe and curiously play with the sounds our voices create together. Our objective is to tune into the common feeling we are developing in the present moment.

Most of what we do is with our eyes closed. This allows everyone to be very focused on only the sound space without any other distractions. We usually are more beginners than experienced singers, and that’s absolutely fine. It is a learning process in progress, each time balancing ourselves in volume and expression to merge into the group sound space, allowing everyone to hear and be heard, naturally developing our own musical styles.

All levels and voice types are welcome! Just make sure to be on time: Scott will explain a few basic and intuitively understandable concepts to make it super easy to dive in for everyone.
