Email Verteiler

Hey, I finally fixed us an email group, letting us have discussions without needing to have Facebook to do so, and providing another means of keeping up to date about meetings. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spiritual-leftie-berlin

Two Spiritual Leftie Meetups In A Week!

There will be two Spiritual Leftie Meetups next week:

Standard Third Wednesday of The Month Meetup - Wednesday 15th June at 7:30PM in Triq, Glogauer str 19

Note: 19:30 this time NOT 19:00!

Let's meet for the monthly Spiritual Leftie meeting - this time, with an optional tarot or psychic reading exchange. Bring your tarot cards or any other divination tools you want!

Moon Work-Together, On Saturday 18th June at 9PM in T Berlin (Fidicinstraße 38):

Moon work-together: so like a workshop, except that I the organiser don't really feel like I have much wisdom to "give", so I guess we'll all be working on this together.

Not so much a full moon ritual - it's not quite full moon and also rituals aren't the focus (but we can still do them if we want to). The focus is to work to improve, heal, and/or deepen our relationship with the moon. To be inspired by the moon and to see what it can teach us. 

So let's sit together and talk and meditate and connect and report what we feel.

How we're gonna do this: we meet at 9PM at "T Berlin", a night café. We drink some tea and then when we think everyone's arrived we go to Viktoriapark to find some spot to observe the moon and work together.

Second spiritual leftie meetup

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.  

Btw you can now get these posts as emails easily - in other words you'll get updates about Spiritual Leftie Berlin sent to your inbox (I'll never post anything irrelevant). Just enter your email at the form at the top of this blog and click submit.

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.
