-space for individual and collective healing
Dear friends, companions, curious souls, and those connected to us,
As announced in our recent emails, we will be merging our mailing lists. If you no longer wish to receive information from us, please let us know here.
A lot is moving within and around us.
Our Initiative of the Healing Arts – supported by the Association for the Promotion of Naturopathic Medicine e.V. – is in the midst of a vibrant transformation.
In recent weeks, our team has also evolved and grown: several new faces have joined us, enriching our work with fresh perspectives, heart, and ideas.
A glimpse of the many who enrich this space. A part of our initiative.
In our working group meetings, a new spirit of departure is clearly emerging – fueled by curiosity, a sense of community, and our shared vision of creating spaces for more conscious perception and honest participation.
Concrete ideas are already taking root: we are planning an open kitchen for communal cooking and exchanges around health and nutrition. A massage collective is also emerging, offering Ayurvedic, classical, and Tantra massages, as well as Lomi Lomi, Tuina, Thai Yoga Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, foot reflexology, and talk therapy. → send us an email
At the same time, we are working to put the association on solid footing – both structurally and financially – so that our offerings can grow and become accessible to more people. Our circle of contributors is expanding, bringing fresh energy into our processes.
In the heart of lively Berlin, within the historic Bethanien building, a place is taking shape for holistic learning, research, and experience – a space for:
→ naturopathic impulses & experiential knowledge
→ individual sessions, new learning & group formats
→ neighborhood, community & self-organized groups

Slowness as an Attitude
Speed is not our benchmark – depth is. So we move slowly – and that’s fully intentional.
We work mostly on a voluntary basis and see deceleration as an answer to personal and societal overwhelm.
We want to create space for genuine encounters, mindfulness, and growth at one’s own pace.
We orient ourselves around sociocratic principles and invite you to join us in setting an example – for a healthier, more connected world.
