Special event with Anandagiri: The key to creating multidimensional impact

Join us for a special event with **Anandagiri, Sustainability Advisor, Project Director & Volunteer @ Lokaa Foundation,** to learn about Anilpuram - a sustainable world village, emerging in the South of India for the Yanadi indigenous tribe, bringing transformation and hope to 100+ families. The Yanadi community is a traditionally marginalized tribal group facing challenges like flooding, poor housing, and limited access to resources. Now, as part of the World Village Project, Lokaa Foundation is building a new, **fully sustainable home for and with this community.** The main philosophy behind the project is that **true sustainable development transcends the physical transformation of an area**; it requires a shift in mindset and priorities, where a deeper connection with oneself, others, and nature is nurtured. Creating an environment that fosters social, cultural, and ecological harmony. The village is built by using reclaimed, repurposed, and carefully engineered materials in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. Construction debris is turning into the elements that hold the village together: 125 modular homes, a knowledge center, an experience center, community courtyards, and the essential infrastructure that will support the village for decades. A flagship project of this scale, built with this depth of sustainability and cultural respect, is truly one of its kind in the world. **About Anandagiri:** Anandagiri is a Sustainability Advisor, Project Director & Volunteer at Lokaa Foundation, as well as a senior faculty member at EKAM, India - a meditation school and ecosystem dedicated to transformation of human consciousness. His impact and contribution goes beyond merely applying sustainability principles to actually creating an environment where human beings **live in harmony with each other and the planet.** Join us for a beautiful evening with inspiring stories that highlight powerful principles for creating multidimensional impact in the world. 🎟️ **Entry**: This is a free event. Nevertheless, please let us know if you cannot come, as the number of available spots is limited and we'd like that others have a chance to join. **Register [here](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/the-key-to-creating-multidimensional-impact-tickets-2001940356497) to secure your spot.** 📍**Where**: Yoga Sky, Am Tempelhofer Berg 7d, 10965 Berlin Follow the Yoga Sky signs in the yard, and take the elevator to the top floor. 🗓 **When**: Sunday, 25th of October, 19:00 - 21:00, afterwards you can stay for some tea and personal interaction until 22:00.

Haunted place hike near Oranienburg (15km) with Café at the end ☕

Just in time for Halloween, we’re heading to one of the eeriest lost places in Brandenburg: the abandoned **Grabowsee sanatorium**. Hidden in the forest by a quiet lake, this former lung clinic has stood empty for decades. Its crumbling red-brick wards, ivy-covered facades and silent corridors are so cinematic they’ve been used as a film set for horror movies and Hollywood blockbusters, including *The Monuments Men*. On a grey late-October day, it doesn’t get more atmospheric. **The plan:** • **10:00** — Meet in front of Oranienburg train station 👉 [https://maps.app.goo.gl/qT83XCBzn2wgZZkV6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/qT83XCBzn2wgZZkV6) How to get there: Take the RB32 train to Oranienburg from Ostkreuz at 9:18, or use any other option that works for you. • **10:00–13:00** — We hike through the forest to Grabowsee (with a break for lunch/snacks) • **13:00–14:30** — We explore the sanatorium: the old clinic buildings, the chapel and the overgrown lakeside grounds. **Entrance: 10€, cash on site** (an additional fee of 10€ is usually asked if you want to take photos) • **14:30–16:30** — We hike back to Oranienburg. After reaching the city, there will be time for a well-earned **coffee & cake** ☕ before the train • **17:29** — We come back with the **RB12 to Berlin Ostkreuz** (or you can choose what works best for you) **What to bring:** sturdy, comfortable shoes, warm layers and a wind/rain jacket, a torch (optional), and **cash — at least 35/40€** (10€ ticket + 5€ meetup fee + some extra for the optional cafè/ photo permit).

Autumn Hike to Schloss Wiesenburg, Hagelberg Summit & Burg Eisenhardt 🍂🏰

**Book your slot on the official website:** [Book your slot here.](https://yourtraveltribe.de/events) Autumn isn’t over yet! This time we’re heading into the Hoher Fläming Nature Park, one of the quietest and greenest corners of Brandenburg, with rolling hills, forests in their last autumn colours, and wide views over the countryside. **Schloss Wiesenburg** :A grand palace with a tall tower, surrounded by one of the most beautiful landscape parks in Brandenburg. Old trees, ponds, terraces and long avenues make it especially lovely in autumn. **The Hagelberg**: At 200 m, the Hagelberg is the highest point of the Fläming. It’s also a place of history: in 1813 Prussian militia defeated Napoleon’s troops here, and memorials still stand on the hilltop. It’s a quiet, open summit with views across the hills. **The Fläming forests** : Between the villages lie forests, fields and the “Rummeln”, unusual dry valleys carved by meltwater at the end of the Ice Age. They’re found almost nowhere else in Germany. **Burg Eisenhardt** : A medieval castle above the spa town of Bad Belzig, with its round tower, the Butterturm, looking out over the rooftops. It’s especially beautiful in the late afternoon light. **Meeting point:** 09:10 am – [Berlin Charlottenburg Bahnhof](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Berlin%20Charlottenburg%20Bahnhof) **Hiking Level:** Moderate 17 Km at relaxed pace More details will be provided in the WhatsApp group day before the trip. **Day trip price:** 10 Euro Event price includes... * Meetup and organising fee, you don't need to worry about the train ticket; we will use a Deutschland ticket, so make sure you have Deutschland ticket, or else you will need to buy it for yourself. **What to wear or bring:** * Comfortable, waterproof hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers * Weather-appropriate clothing * Water * Snacks and a packed lunch **Cancellation:** * **Free cancellation** up to 24 hours before the event. * **No refunds** for no-shows. * **Full refund** if the event is cancelled by the organizer. **Connect with us:** Want to see what our community is all about?

Who Lives in the Woods? Watercolour Workshop

Over four Tuesday evenings, we’ll meet four different woodland animals and explore a new way of painting each one with watercolour. Every week, we’ll look closely at one animal and use it as an opportunity to learn and practise different watercolour techniques. Some paintings will be more realistic, others more loose or abstract — the idea is to discover how many different ways watercolour can describe an animal. We’ll also look at a selection of picture books and discover how different artists have interpreted and painted animals in their own unique ways. We always work **step by step**, starting with the basics: observing how water and colour interact, experimenting with colour effects, and learning how to control — and sometimes let go of — the water. Then we’ll build our animals from simple shapes, exploring different effects and practising textures such as fur, feathers, and other details that make each animal unique. At the end of each class, you’ll have time to create your own version of the animal, with a few helpful tricks to make drawing it easier. **Tuesday 6 + 13 + 20 +27 October**, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM **Where:** 10245 Friedrichshain, Berlin (Exact address will be shared via email once you sign up) **Price:** €95 for the full month (4 classes) Single class: €28 (if available) Payment via PayPal or Bank Transfer **Materials:** Bring a watercolour set, brushes, and watercolour paper. If you need help choosing, please ask or check [HERE](https://www.instagram.com/p/DBRDE95Ia5D/?img_index=2). **Only way to book your spot:** Please email me at **hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com** so I can check if there is still space first. If so, I will send you the address and payment info :) * ***Important: Clicking 'I'll attend on Meetup doesn't guarantee you a spot. Sometimes the group is already full, but Meetup doesn't show it. Don't forget to send an email to sign up.*** Very small group – early booking recommended! See you there! -Lu [www.lujancordaro.com](http://www.lujancordaro.com)
