Somatic presence (Meditation)
This is a gentle space in which you can rest and rejuvenate together… Letting each session be an emergent experience around Zazen, meditation, sufism, related readings, journaling and just being in company of the other while letting go and enjoying your own rest. What I aim for this session is to create a space where you can slow down, be gentle with yourself, your body and mind, meditate, breathe, dive into contemplative work with the lenses of this post-modern human you are. Bridging ancient texts with the reality of today’s world and researching into sustainable ways to be your individual self while also being part of a like-minded small group.
Every Friday 19.30-20.30
Freedom movement (Yoga & Axis Syllabus)
This is a movement practice which is inspired by yoga, the Axis Syllabus and somatic therapy. I will be guiding you through exploring your body with the guidance of emergent sensations, emotions and affection through movement. It’s an emergent practice rather than a defined and a sequenced one as in conventional yoga, which aims to reactivate your agency as a practitioner/mover. Because your body knows better than the instructor, so as an instructor I’ll be guiding you to let your body move and explore what’s bodily possible… As a trauma coach I’m also aiming to create a small consistent group so that we can all feel safe enough with each other to explore those bodily realms.
Bihter Kartheuser
Mindfulness and Somatic Coach, MA, YA, ICF, NSP
I am a Berlin-based multidisciplinary life artist, bringing together 20 years of contemplative practice, knowledge in yoga, biomechanics, the Axis Syllabus, Buddhist psychology, and body psychotherapy. I am a 200h RYT with over 1,000 hours of teaching experience, a mindfulness coach with more than 100 ICF-accredited hours, and a USABP (United States Association for Body Psychotherapy) accredited somatic coach.
I am fascinated by the human mind and body as expressions of collective consciousness, and I enjoy bridging ancient teachings and practices with post-modern approaches through a secular, progressive, and science-informed lens. Over the past decade, I have navigated and healed from a period of existential depression — an experience that deepened my resilience, broadened my understanding of the human condition, and ultimately guided me toward a place of relief, self-acceptance, and genuine self-love.
I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with others and supporting the evolution of collective consciousness in ways that are uplifting, nourishing, and empowering.
