Last spiritual leftie meeting was really great and
this one shall be a continuation of the same! We have the big room in
triq booked from 12-3:30 on Saturday 2nd April. I recognise that this is lunchtime for those
who have an actual daily rhythm unlike me, feel free to bring food, I'll
have some potato things available to share like last time.
So that's TrIQ (Glogauer str 19) from 12 noon, Sat 2nd April.

Spiritual Leftie Berlin!
This blog gives updates and in particular meeting times for the Spiritual Leftie meetups in Berlin. Currently we meet on the third Wednesday of the month at 8PM in TrIQ, Glogauer str 19. This is likely to change in the following months as everything is pretty new.
The group can be explained as follows:
Leftie: politically leftist; specifically referring to "Berlin leftie", a blend of political and lifestyle stances often including polyamory, (pro)queer, (pro)feminist, antidiscrimination (anti transphobia, anti racism), veganism/freeganism, etc.
Spiritual: relating to certain forms of self development and ways of understanding the universe; meditation, synchronicity, intention-manifestation, psychic abilities/intuition, reincarnation, etc.
Just as many people feel pressured into a queer closet in the spiritual scene, many people feel pressured into a spiritual closet in the leftie scene. Despite a culture that promotes respect towards others, the leftie scene can be rather hostile to people who speak about their spiritual beliefs. On the other hand the spiritual scene often completely ignores leftie concepts, so we get tantra that ignores the existence of queer relationships and trans bodies, and "positive thinking" that ignores the fact that structural
oppression might be a cause of someone's misfortune.
The Spiritual Leftie group proposes meetups/events where you don't have to be in any sort of closet, and can discuss both leftie and spritual topics and how they intersect and interact with each other. You don't have to leave any part of yourself behind in order to participate.
