About Arivela
Going out, from yoga classes to meditation evenings
A sound bath is an hour of lying down while someone plays. Ecstatic dance is a dance floor with no talking and no drinks. Breathwork is exactly what it sounds like, and stronger than it sounds. Many evenings are free or donation based, which is a gentle way to try: see free and donation events near you.
When something speaks to you, its page carries what the host wrote: where, when, what it costs, and who you are booking with. Arivela lists events across Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and London and a growing set of cities.
What does a week look like? A Tuesday evening breathing in a circle of strangers, a Thursday sound bath after work, a Saturday morning on a yoga mat, a Sunday afternoon dancing barefoot. Events are the easiest way in: a single session, not a whole trip away. Pick your city and its page shows what is on there, from tonight to the weekend. And who puts it there? Teachers, facilitators, small circles, and the studios and places that open their doors to them. Many of them keep a host profile showing who they are, what they hold and where. Some hold one evening a month in a room they borrow; others teach every week in a studio they run. Both show up here the same way: as an evening with a date on it. Knowing who is holding the evening is often all it takes to walk in.
When you want to go further than an evening, retreats and trainings are listed on Arivela too.
Arivela is a platform for conscious events, retreats and trainings: yoga, breathwork, meditation, sound baths and ecstatic dance, listed by the people who hold them. It is international, with city pages for Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Leipzig and Freiburg, for Vienna, Zurich, Amsterdam and London, and for Rishikesh and Pisac.
An evening is a few hours: a class, a circle, a sound bath, and then home. A retreat is several days in one place. A training is a longer course; where it ends in a qualification, the listing says so.
It depends on the host and the room. Some evenings are free, many run on donation, others cost about what a class elsewhere would. The listing carries the price its host has given.
Not much. Come in whatever you can lie down or move in, and bring a layer, because rooms cool once you are still. Socks for a dance floor, water for a breath session.
Some evenings ask you to hold a place, others you can simply walk into. Where the host has said so, the event page tells you how to reserve, and the people holding the evening are who you are booking with.
Pick something gentle: a sound bath asks nothing but lying down, and an open ecstatic dance floor has no steps to learn. You can come on your own, and many people do the first time.
