Samhain Circle - A gathering beyond death
2022-10-29 15:00 - 19:00 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
Samhain Circle – A gathering beyond death

Samhain is the Celtic festival of remembrance of the dead and divination. At this time of year, the veils between the worlds are lifted, allowing us to make contact with the deceased. The dead also use this access and mingle with the living.

This Samhain Circle offers you the possibility to communicate with the deceased and your ancestors through different access paths. This can serve you to have a final farewell to people whose death you have not yet been able to overcome. In this way we let the souls go and find peace in ourselves as well. Contact with the ancestors strengthens the invisible bond that connects us within our family system on soul level. Through this connection we benefit from the souls that have walked the path back to the light and support us from beyond with universal wisdom.

The techniques we will use in this Circle to communicate with the dead come from Core Shamanism and hypnotic trance. By expanding and deepening our state of consciousness, we can perceive the supernatural and gain access to a spiritual dimension.

No previous knowledge is required. You will be introduced to the technique of the shamanic drum journey and professionally guided into a hypnotic trance. Important: You remain in control at all times and can decide when to get out!

Spaceholder: Isabel is a shamanic practitioner, holistic life coach and mindfulness trainer. She has been involved in shamanism theoretically and practically for over 20 years and is trained in Core Shamanic techniques. She is also a certified NLP practitioner and works with different trance states as part of her holistic coaching and as a shamanic practitioner.

TELESTERION BERLIN

TELESTERION BERLIN

Time: 3pm – 7pmSeventh Ray Mystery School7pm – 8pm BREAK8pm – Midnight

Evening ProgrammeBring:

Blanket, pillow, eye mask

Availability:

30 places availablePlease note there will be no tickets available on the door.

About:

Telesterion – “Initiation Hall” from Greek τελείω, “to complete, to fulfil, to consecrate, to initiate”.

The Telesterion combines experiential learning, sensorial ritual, performance, audience engagement and an appreciation of the ridiculous, to provoke curiosity, inspiration and joy.

Workshop Programme:

3-4pm Technomagic // Carl H. SmithCarl H. Smith explores current emerging learning technologies and seeks to harness them usefully to enhance, expand and enrich an embodied human experience of life. Carl’s work offers an alternative to the technophilic transhumanist agenda and is an attempt to counter disembodiment and disenchantment in the digital age.

4-5pm Third Mind Triad // Karin Valis, Leslie Claire and Katy Noura ButlerKarin Valis is a Berlin-based writer, musician and machine learning engineer, with a deep passion for everything occult and weird.Leslie Claire is a UK based Texan artist exploring performance, collage, dramaturgy and metaphysics.Katy Noura Butler is a tarot expert, teacher of Egyptian Mysteries and the author of the book – Egyptian Path of Love.The experience starts with choosing the resonant triad through a special rune and tarot reading technique developed by Katy Butler. She provides us with a reading of this Triad of energy which corresponds to and links three Egyptian deities on her Egyptian Star of Life system.After an initial meditation on these attributions, the participants will form a circle and attempt to achieve the state of free flow and resonance, generating a chain of associations and images related to the Triad. After the circle is closed, the prompts will be fed into state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to interpret text prompts into images, that will be joined into a video.The machine uses random seeds, that pull specific visual representations of the participant’s visions from the latent space. This space is uncannily similar to the concept of the collective unconscious, thus providing a relevant divinator parallel to the process.The final video will be projected during the venting session in a hypnotic music performance. All participants are invited to experience and reflect on their collectively built expression of the energetic triad and observe its resonance within themselves.

5-6pm Alchemical Dreams // Sarah JanesSarah Janes is a lucid dreaming aficionado, author, researcher and sleep hypnotherapist, specialising in the dream as medicine in the Western esoteric tradition. In this workshop Sarah will lead those inside the Telesterion on a guided hypnagogic journey into conscious dreamspace.

The Time and Space SocietyNew videoclip release

“My invisible friend”

The world is coming to an end? No need to panic! Don’t worry, be happy!

The new song of the Time and Space Society “Invisible Friend” sums it up: Your invisible friend will help you! A dreamy indie wave song, sleepwalkingly supported by Hagen Kuhr’s moonstruck cello playing, with a groove that drives the Golden Rider and brings him to his destination: To the world of time and space without fear, where the tears dry.

Therefore: Thank you for the light! The fluorescent video from the Bolivian chamber of wonders of “La Tercera Mano” opens the door with the help of friendly demons and a Balinese dancer. The message is clear: don’t be afraid! (Light-sensitive souls are recommended a protection factor of at least 111 for the song)

It is a modern adaptation of the distant traditions for people in the western world today.

This is the first ritual in a series of three Saturnian Saghori rituals.The second ritual of the series on 31.10.2022 is dedicated to the voodoo god Papa Guede.The third ritual on 21.12.2022 concludes the series with a gnostic Saturn ritual.

AN INTRODUCTION TO MAGICK AND CREATING YOUR REALITY
2022-07-16 20:00 - 22:00 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
AN INTRODUCTION TO MAGICK AND CREATING YOUR REALITY

Magick is not only entertaining, spooky counterculture, or for after-hours, but at the core it is about how each of us creates reality in every moment. Occult for most of human history, much of the hidden knowledge has been coming to light. In this interactive talk you will learn how we can understand ourselves as purposeful (and powerful) co-creators of reality in everything we do. We will talk about context framing, operating metaphors and tools that can be applied in everyday life to create the results we desire – and how to deal with it when we don’t. Rooted in transformational psychology, and various esoteric wisdom traditions from alchemy to yoga, we will go inside to connect to ourselves, explore maps of consciousness and reality together, and work on some practical things you can immediately use to make your life more magic(k)al.

BIOPhilip has been exploring the human operating system and various perennial wisdom traditions since childhood. Learning for several decades from gurus & shamans, masons and magicians, freaks and witches, he has been studying transformational psychology, and how we create ourselves and reality. Living in Los Angeles and Berlin, he works with culture shapers of all forms: artists, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, activists and master teachers. Most of the time he holds lectures and workshops on the topics of future, culture and leadership.

2022-07-15 20:00 - 23:00 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
THE OCCULT BOTANY // with Kuri Lawen

In Latin American life, fighting to decolonize everyday life is a very pleasant and rigorous task. I can say that the encounter of the human being with the recovery of ancestry is a precious path of life/death/life.

My work at Kuri Lawen (instagram kuri.lawen) has been the opening to an alchemical journey of wisdom and self-knowledge. Where darkness and light have fed my body, container of teachings and values, both collective and personal.

The hidden botany.In many cultures, from different parts of the world, this type of magic is practiced. The occult botany in the herbalism of the wallmapu worldview, for example, is based on lunar biodynamics. Since, these beings, in order to harvest and sow their food, had different lunar cults.Basically the union of heaven and earth, as above and below, is the basic criterion of this magical procedure. Paracelsus in his text has drawn “melotasia” tables, to identify through the varieties of shapes and colors of plants, their astrological and therefore magical correspondence.Having this information is that we can use in our favor, or that of an entire community, the power of plants in our daily lives. This workshop is to learn to recognize the astrological correspondence and prepare different concoctions useful for the day. Such as, natural toothpaste, creams, syrups, posimas, etc.

All the material in the workshop is theoretical, since the practice is personal and part of our path towards plants and respect for nature.I look forward to introducing you to this wonderful witch trade.

MOVIE NIGHT IN FULL MOON LIGHT // The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky (1973)
2022-07-13 19:00 - 23:30 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
MOVIE NIGHT IN FULL MOON LIGHT // The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky (1973)

The Fool welcomes us for a third Movie Night in Full Moon Light mini-cinema event

The Holy Mountain, is ripe with hidden allegorical conceptions.

From the enticing introduction, which is a completely necessary scene, as it sets up the underlying aspect of ritual within the film, to the final words uttered in the film, “Real life awaits us,” the movie almost purposely sets itself up to be disputed.

The corporitization of faith is also a topic the film seems to brush up against. Some people confuse the film with slandering the Christian faith, when in reality it is simply trying to personify the core teachings of the faith under a clear light, and warn against those who would threaten to seek a physical constraint, such as money, in order to profit from other people’s beliefs.

Jodorowsky commented that The Holy Mountain is like a documented drug-induced experience, which he claims is not directed toward a single meaning or conclusion. Rather, he puts himself in opposition to someone like Alfred Hitchcock, who “manipulates” the audience as though a single malleable body into feeling specific emotions – suspense, fear, etc. – during specific moments. Jodorowsky hopes that a spectator, as an individual, will have his or her own singular reactions or thoughts.

Doors open at 19.00 H.Movie starts at 20.00 H

ART COLLAGE WORKSHOP// with Jorge Chamorro

Max Ernst defined collage as “the systematic exploitation of the accidentally or artificially provoked encounter of two or more foreign realities on a seemingly incongruous level – and the spark of poetry that leaps across the gap as these two realities are brought together.”That spark of poetry is, ultimately, what we want to explore in this workshop.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:We will begin with a review of the history of collage, from the avant garde movements to the collage scene nowadays, ending in Germany and Berlin. We will understand better the importance of collage in the art movements of the XX Century, we will analyse the different perspectives of the collage language and we will achieve lots of references.After that, the rest of the workshop will be dedicated to make collages from diverse assumptions, exploring different ways of creating and expressing. We will make collective analysis of the works, we will be in a constant dialogue about concept, composition, contrast, color, texture.The main thing is to have fun, to learn, to create a space for knowledge, exchange and debate.This is a workshop to dive deep into de world of collage.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:Jorge Chamorro (Madrid, 1972) is a graphic designer, teacher and collage artist. Bachelor’s Degree in Audiovisual Communication from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 1995, he worked for ten years as a graphic designer in several studios and agencies, until he set up his own studio in Madrid in 2005, where he develops communication projects for different clients. He combines his work as a designer with teaching graphic design and collage. Besides designing and teaching, he develops artistic projects, mainly collage. He has exhibited regularly in a variety of venues around the world and his work has been published in many international media.

TAROT READINGS with Claas Hoffmann

Claas wrote:

I have been living with the tarot cards for 37 years, they have enriched my life in a wonderful way. It’s a little like having an invisible friend who visibly communicates with me through the tarot cards. When I read the cards for other people, my intention is to bring them closer to contact with their own invisible friend.Forrest Gump says: “I don’t know if we each have a destiny or we’re all just floatin’ around accidental like on a breeze. Maybe both happening at the same time …”This “both happenig at the same time” is what I believe: We have a destiny and many things are already written in our “books of life” when we are born. But we are still free in our ways, how we walk on earth, with what attitude, smiling or grumpy. And sometimes we are free to choose in which way we will get to a certain station which is written in our “book of life”.When I do Tarot readings, I also want to convey my spiritual faith, a sense of freedom and trust that our life paths will make sense in the end, as well as the knowledge of the “invisible friend.”

20 minutes readings for 33 euros per person.

EVERYDAY MAGICK & HOW TO CREATE YOUR REALITY
2022-06-11 20:00 - 21:00 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
EVERYDAY MAGICK & HOW TO CREATE YOUR REALITY

Magick is not only entertaining, spooky counterculture, or for after-hours, but at the core it is about how each of us creates reality in every moment. Occult for most of human history, much of the hidden knowledge has been coming to light. In this interactive talk you will learn how we can understand ourselves as purposeful (and powerful) co-creators of reality in everything we do. We will talk about context framing, operating metaphors and tools that can be applied in everyday life to create the results we desire – and how to deal with it when we don’t. Rooted in transformational psychology, and various esoteric wisdom traditions from alchemy to yoga, we will go inside to connect to ourselves, explore maps of consciousness and reality together, and work on some practical things you can immediately use to make your life more magic(k)al.

BIOPhilip has been exploring the human operating system and various perennial wisdom traditions since childhood. Learning for several decades from gurus & shamans, masons and magicians, freaks and witches, he has been studying transformational psychology, and how we create ourselves and reality. Living in Los Angeles and Berlin, he works with culture shapers of all forms: artists, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, activists and master teachers. Most of the time he holds lectures and workshops on the topics of future, culture and leadership.

VOICE SUBJECT with Luca Atzori

The workshop is aimed at all those who intend, for artistic or personal and professional reasons, to study the voice by going into its techniques, physiology, and performative use.Therefore, the whole aspect related to breathing will be explored, thus the knowledge of the costodiaphragmatic apparatus. We will discover what the diaphragm is and what its action is, how to use costal muscles, the auxiliary respiratory muscles. Exercises borrowed from yoga and alexander method will be associated (for side use as I am not an instructor of these subjects) as well as various facial and vocal warm-up exercises that will be taught from time to time.We will find out what a vocalization is, and how it goes with the breath. We will then explore the larynx and the action of its muscles in the various registers. From the vocalizations we will understand what sympathetic vibration is. “Voice object” is a term borrowed from psychoanalysis. The voice, part of the body that becomes object.

THE WHEEL OF TAROTS

with MEDEA

The seminar is a journey through the Major Arcana to discover the individual characteristics of each soul and personality – and their connection with the collective existences.

The tarot wheel is an esoteric path that transmutes the vision of time, highlighting its non-linearity. This research system starts from the use of numbers as mirror of the intrinsic characteristics of each individual souls, life mission and the cycle of years.

The journey becomes a vision that expands the awareness of time in an infinite turning of the wheel of Tarots that represents collective existence.

All aims to concretely discover:

– the tarot correspondence of one’s soul and personality

– the cycle of years of each individual

– the esoteric correspondencesTAROT

DECK: Rider-Waite-Smith

Medea is a researcher of the magic realms, graduated in cultural anthropology and with several years of experience and study, including academic, in the esoteric field. Attracted since birth by the paranormal, her research does not stop at the borders of the real and shared, but rather tries to transcend it to investigate the secrets of this reality.

Nil Wu Ming feat Schweinehornia
2022-03-19 17:00 - 22:00 | The Fool, Skalitzer Str. 43, Berlin, 10997, Germany
After a week of unpredictable but providential complications and improvements in our lives, we have decided not to miss our appointment on Saturday 19 March, so we look forward to seeing you from 17:00 onwards for an artistic aperitif accompanied by a selection of ambient music created by Nil Wu Ming.
At 19:00 Chandler Barnes aka schweinehornia will delight us with the enchanting forms of Shibari in which he is an expert and offers his teachings, all accompanied by a noise live-set by our beloved Nil Wu Ming, who likes to describe what will happen like this:
Divine time lines intertwined to manifest an unpredictable reality through attention manipulation.
Pure ignorance and grace.
Overstimulation finds it mirror image of absolute zero while extracting ones soul and smashing it through the earths stone crust.
Attention: fasting and isolation is suggested. Glandular spasms may occur.
Special post lobotomic lymph drainage sound massage offered to limited participants.
