Psychedelic Forest Hike II

Hey psychedelic fans! As the leaves begin to change color, we are once again heading out into the beautiful Grunewald. Join us for our second psychedelic hike through the forest, where you can contemplate the cyclicality of life and the impermanence of all existence — or simply reconnect with nature and your friends from the community. Bring whatever you need for the afternoon: drinks, some snacks to share, something to sit on during the picnic break, and, of course, suitable clothing. Just like last time, we’ll meet at S Grunewald (exit towards Grunewald) at 12:00, with the hike starting around 12:15. We’re aiming to finish at S Nikolassee between 16:00 and 17:00. If you cannot find us, I’ll have a big mushroom attached to my backpack. If you’re running late, just send a message in the event chat. (If the weather is terrible on Saturday, we might postpone the hike to Sunday instead. In that case, we’ll make an announcement in the group.)

MINDFUL HIKE & MEDITATION: THE STOIC STROLL VOL. 1

**AMOR FATI** invites you to *The Stoic Stroll Vol. 1: The View From Above* \- a morning rooted in the Stoic practice of reframing perspective through movement and nature\. Inspired by the practice of *Sympatheia*, this stroll invites us to step back from micro-stressors, observe our place within the larger landscape, and cultivate mental clarity high above the city canopy. Rather than a high-performance trek, this is a non-competitive, synchronized 7K hike focused on the cultivation of mental clarity and shared rhythm. We walk together through the forest paths of Grunewald, pacing ourselves to the collective energy of the group, before transitioning into quiet stillness and guided meditation at the summit of Drachenberg. Afterwards we'll enjoy warm drinks and open conversation. **THE VIBE** Grounding, expansive, and intentional. An organic flow state followed by stillness and open conversation. **THE DETAILS** 📅 **When:** Saturday 10 Oct at 10:00 📍 **Where:** S-Bahnhof Grunewald (Meet outside near the Gleis 7 exit area) 🗺️ **Route:** A scenic \~7 km loop through Grunewald forest and up Drachenberg, ending back near the S-Bahn 🥾 **Pace:** Conversational, relaxed walking pace (no one is left behind) 💸 **Price:** Free 🎒 **What to bring:** Sturdy walking shoes or trail runners, comfortable layers, a water bottle, and a friend who appreciates deep conversations and mindful movement. ☝️ **Please note:** There is no bag check, so bring only a lightweight daypack with what you can comfortably carry. **THE FLOW** * **10:00** \- Meetup & Warm Welcome * **10:15** \- Synchronized Forest Stroll \(\~4\.5 km walk\) * **11:00** \- Guided Summit Meditation & Perspective Pause on Drachenberg * **11:25** \- Forest Descent & Return Loop \(\~2\.5 km\) * **12:00** \- Optional Warm Drinks & Open Connection **CAN'T MAKE THIS ONE?** Join the **AMOR FATI Collective** to stay connected, receive early access to future events, and join our private community 👉 [Become a member](https://amorfati.world/community) Members receive early notifications for upcoming runs, hikes, salons, community gatherings, retreats, and direct access to our private WhatsApp channel. **DISCLAIMER** AMOR FATI hikes are community-led and non-professional gatherings.

Bohemian Day Trip from Berlin to Saxony Switzerland - SOLD OUT

*Take a day trip to Bohemian Switzerland, have lunch at the Pravcicka Gate, hike across the border into Germany, and finish the day hike at one of the country's best breweries.* Hike Distance: 13km Difficulty: Intermediate This breathtaking day hike from Berlin takes you from the misty river canyon of Hrensko in Czechia straight to the crown jewel of the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland national parks. Moving through towering sandstone columns, pristine pine forests, and across international borders, this route combines dramatic geological wonders with a fresh, cross-border perspective. First, we visit the awe-inspiring Pravčická Brána, Europe’s largest natural sandstone arch. Here we will enjoy traditional Czech cuisine, looking over the valley below. From the Gate, the route takes advantage of the newly opened hiking path into Saxon Switzerland (Germany), through the sandstone formations and into the village of Schmilka, where we will enjoy traditional beers at a Saxon brewery, before crossing the Elbe and catching the train home. The tour will be led by travel author and guide Dan Cole, author of the leading hiking guide Beer Hiking Berlin. Dan has also worked previously for Lonely Planet, Easyjet Magazine, and Lufthansa, and has several published travel guides about Berlin and beyond.
