The Blue Monkey ✩ Ecstatic Dance ✩ Music Jam ✩ Gong

Know that there will be no sauna this time. The monkey has something else in mind for us for this very special day 11/11... ✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩✩ CONSCIOUS CARNIVAL With Ecstatic Dance (Free Dance Music Wave) Music Jam Session & Gong Location: Panke Culture 🐒 THE BLUE MONKEY IS HERE - AND IT WANTS TO PLAY! 🐒 As the 11th kin (energetic quality) of the maya calendar, Chuen or Ba'atz, the Blue Monkey stands for the lightness and playfulness of the child that is not yet conditioned by society. Open and innocent, it just follows its impulses. A Monkey day is a good day for dance, music, play and laughter. For a “Conscious Carnival”, a space in which we can drop our societal masks and flow together. Everything is possible. You can be whoever you want to be. Dress up. Dress down. Masquerade. Come naked. Wear a gorilla mask. Be normal. Go bananas. Whatever feels right to you. If you play an instrument, bring it! Guitar, bass, jambe, jaw harp… Let's create something together. Drop any expectations. Remember, the monkey just wants to play! Whatever you are - beginner or pro musician, listener or dancer, just follow your flow. Let's see what the monkey has in mind for us... ✩ MONKEY PLAN ✩ 18:30 Doors open 19:00 Kundalini Yoga & Gong: Karolina Darshan Deep Gérard Lach 20:00 Ecstatic Dance: Ben Pavlidis 22:00 Monkey Jam (space for co-created music & dance) 23:00 Doors close ✩ MONKEY TICKETS ✩ Regular: 15€ Reduced: 12€ * *Please show proof at the check-in: Student ID, Berlin Pass, ... ✩ WANNA DANCE, BUT GOT NO MON(K)EY? ✩ Get in touch, at least 5-7 days before the event. Maybe you can help out with something in exchange for your ticket! ✩ MONKEY RULES ✩ In order to sustain a safe space for monkeying around we ask you to respect the following guidelines: 1. Please treat yourself and others with respect and care 2. No talking on the dancefloor 3. No alcohol 4. Monkey cigarettes outside ✩ MONKEY FAQ ✩ How do I get there? By public transport you can go to either to S Humboldthain or S+U Wedding. Once you're at Gerichtstrasse 23, enter the Hinterhof, pass it and also pass the 2nd Hinterhof. Walk in direktion Panke (the river). When you see the big red circle you found it. Yay! By car you can try to park in the first HH. There are not too many parkings though. What should I bring? Bring a blanket to keep you warm during the gong meditation. If you have a yoga mat, bring it. Especially if you get cold easily. Otherwise you can also just relax on our magic dance carpet... Please don't bring any drinks or water bottles and don't refill your bottle. Hot and cool drinks are provided by Panke Culture. What should I wear? Whatever you feel comfortable and sexy in! If you like to dance like a crazy monkey, make sure that you can move in your outfit! Lycra might be better than jeans - but its all up to you. Wear your favourite socks, we are going to dance without shoes on our magic dancing carpet... Will there be anything to eat and drink? There will be organic raw cacao from Bali, water and some organic lemonades at reasonable prices. Plus, we will have chai made after the original recipe from Yogi Bhajan (the Mahan Tantric, the person who brought Kundalini yoga to the West). In a veganschwegan version free of coffeine and white sugar of course. You must try it. It's delicious! Pankeclub also provides yummy homemade vegetarian (sometimes vegan) buckwheat bowls with different toppings for 3-7€. What is a gong relaxation? After the yoga you will relax for 15-20 min. on the carpet bathing in the multi-frequency sound of the gong. This multitude of frequencies can balance your whole system on the vibrational level. The level of sound. It is a deeply cleansing and relaxing tool that you can use to support your intention for the 11/11 portal. What about the sauna? Unfortunately, something went wrong and there won't be a sauna this time. Some construction work has started only a couple of days ago, now blocking the pathway for our sauna car. We are sorry! Nobody saw this coming. A bunch of busy monkeys is working to fix this problem but for tomorrow we won't solve it. ✩ MONKEY PEOPLE ✩ Host: KAROLINA DARSHAN =>https://www.theyog.com Karolina is a Berlin-based conscious club facilitator (Ecstatic Dance Open Air, The Blue Monkey) and kundalini yoga teacher (The Yog, UHU - Urban Healing Unit). A music lover, club kid and seeker for consciousness expansion since her early youth, she found her path in kundalini yoga, meditation and conscious dance, all powerful practices for transformation and healing. Rather than following any concept, she is interested in the essence of things. The magic that lies within but that we can only perceive if we become still enough. When Karolina becomes still enough she is a channel for different ideas, visions and sounds that want to come into this world. DJ: BEN PAVLIDIS =>https://www.soundcloud/ben-pavlidis Ben Pavlidis is a songwriter, producer, and also known as the frontman of the Berlin band Ohrbooten. On his musical path he developed a deep passion for bass music and in his DJ-Sets, he is defiantly paying homage to the beloved bass frequency . The half Greek half German grew up in West Berlin and the city has always fed him with an eclectic mix of urban, world, and electronic music. The essence of all his genre is a super danceable mix of global bass music. This love for international bass music is also expressed in his new club format United Colors of Bass.
