A circle of people moving together at Cali Sessions in Berlin

Tuesdays 14:45–16:45 · IKSK, Berlin


A different kind of training — where movement meets authenticity, community, and personal growth. Animal flow, calisthenics, breathwork and honest human connection.

Why Cali exists

Cali emerged from my need to practice being a responsible adult  without losing playfulness and aliveness. 

“I noticed how I have gotten too adult, too quickly. As a child, I used to run the streets for hours and hours.”

— Ashraf

What we practice

01

Nervous system capacity

  • Staying present in the body under activation
  • True resting — not restlessness — during recovery
Nervous system capacity
02

Emotional honesty

  • Notice and understand feelings in a group setting
  • Voice and express feelings through body and voice
  • Discern personal emotions from absorbed ones
Emotional honesty
03

Authentic relating

  • Connect without abandoning yourself
  • Communicate Yes, No, Stop, Go
  • Create visible boundaries — neither permeable nor isolating

How we practice

We take off our shoes and masks, we move our bodies, express our feelings, and develop relational skills.

The space is built on consent and respect — where imperfection, boundaries, and challenge can exist without shaming or judging.

  • Consent first
  • No comparison
  • Imperfection welcome
  • Challenge without shame

The playfulness — even though we get a good burn and workout in, it doesn't feel intense.
LLoui
A safe space. I can let my inner monkey play, I can be silly and intuitive, without anyone judging or shaming me.
AAllam
Ashraf encouraged imperfection. Not comparison, not forcing — just being and playing.

    intimacy

Who this day is for

You want to go deeper than a weekly session, but an 8-week cohort isn't realistic right now. You need an actual break from normal life — not another hour squeezed into a Tuesday.

Bonus

Free entry to the following month's Tuesday Circle — a one-off becomes the start of a habit.
