- What are the cancellation terms?
Up to 14 days before the event: full refund minus an administration fee of 10 €.
If the cancellation is made later than 14 days before the event, the ticket is non-refundable unless you find a replacement person yourself. In this case, you have to deal with the financial aspect with the replacement person and you are responsible for passing on all the information received here.
- What should I bring to the AUM?
It is important to wear loose-fitting clothes which allow you to move your body. It can be hot in the room and you may sweat, so please bring a towel and one or two extra T-shirts with you. A dry, clean T-shirt feels good for you and for others when you hug.
- Can I join if I am pregnant?
The AUM is not suitable for women who are pregnant. The intense movements and emotions can be detrimental to your body and the unborn child.
- Can I smoke something beforehand? It often helps me to relax into the group situation. Or would microdosing be okay?
We would like all participants to remain sober during our event. We will experience enough high from connection, dance, and eros and believe that this is sufficient to create a relaxed and positive atmosphere. Please respect our guidelines and contribute to ensuring that everyone can feel safe and comfortable.
- Can I bring a 12-year-old child or is it only for adults? He has a lot of experience with meditation already.
There is a possibility to do the AUM with children and teenagers (called "Kids AUM" or "Animal AUM"). It is important that they can stay among themselves and do NOT have to interact with adults. There are several reasons for this, explaining all of them would exceed the scope here. However, one reason is the phase "Dance Of The Lovers," which is about perceiving and expressing one's own sexuality, desire, and eroticism. I believe that children and teens should be able to discover themselves at their own pace and in an authentic way, finding their own ways to express themselves WITHOUT adults interacting. It would require additional teenagers of approximately the same age (the more, the better), appropriate spatial possibilities, and a second AUM facilitator to guide both groups (adults and teenagers) separately.
- Can the AUM be done naked?
It is not usually intended to do the AUM meditation naked. The AUM involves intense cathartic exercises that are typically done in loose, comfortable clothing.
However, in certain special AUMs that I offer, nudity may be allowed or invited during certain phases.
- Can I come to the AUM with my partner?
Yes you can. We recommend that each of you do the meditation for yourself and follow your own process. Before the meditation starts, we ask you to make a clear agreement with each other about what you will do during the "Dance of the Lovers". In this stage you can either choose to stay together or go each your own way. Making clear arrangements beforehand can help you to avoid painful experiences.
- Can anyone participate in the AUM?
No, not everyone can do the AUM. People under the influence of alcohol or drugs cannot join the AUM.
People who have been or are under psychiatric treatment or who have had a psychotic episode in the past need to have a personal talk with the AUM leader before attending.
- I am currently in therapy, can I participate in the AUM?
You will first need to consult your counselor or therapist before joining the AUM. The reason is that participation in the AUM can influence the therapeutic process.
- I don’t know if I can cry - can I join the AUM?
Yes, you can join. For many people crying is difficult in the beginning. With practice it gets easier. Screaming can also be difficult at first, but through participating, you can learn how to express yourself and release these negative feelings. We will give you all of our support.
- If I have physical limitations, can I still join?
Yes, in most cases. It is important that you indicate to the leader what your limitations are. We will support you with creative solutions so that you can participate as much as possible.
- What is the solo zone?
If you have ever been to “Liebe Tanzen” (Christopher Gottwald), you will know it: In the solo zone, no contact is made, neither through words nor touches or glances. You can sit there if you feel like you are at your limit and/or just want to be with yourself. If you would like support, this is possible outside of the solo zone.

Hallo Kai, ich schreibe dir aus dem Anlass, dass ich heute bei einem anderen Anbieter in Berlin für die AUM war. Dort wurde, meiner Ansicht nach, der Safe Space beim Sharing nicht eingehalten und irgendwann wurde es leider auch sehr dogmatisch. Ich spreche da natürlich nur für meine Wahrnehmung. (...)
Aus diesem Anlass wollte ich dir nur noch einmal Danke für deine Arbeit sagen. Du hältst den Raum wirklich auf eine beeindruckende Art und Weise. Mit einer Empathie und Nächstenliebe, welche in genau den richtigen Momenten den Platz lässt, um dann doch einmal einzugreifen. Du bietest den Teilnehmenden wirklich den Raum, an ihren eigenen Themen zu arbeiten. Arbeitest dich nicht an konträren Meinungen ab und führst andere nicht vor der Gruppe vor.
Also eine Empfehlung für jeden, der ohne Dogma sich selbst besser kennenlernen möchte!
Herzliche Grüße
Lieber Kai, ich wollte dir jetzt endlich Rückmeldung geben zu der phänomenalen AUM Meditation Ende Mai in München. Das hat wirklich etwas in meinem Feld verändert. Ich durfte so einiges an Ballast loslassen und fühle mich nun freier. Neue wunderbare Begegnungen mit wertvollen Menschen haben seitdem stattgefunden. In diese Freiheit muss ich mich erstmal einschwingen, aber ich schaff das. Ich bedanke mich sehr für deine wunderbare Arbeit. Liebe Grüße, Anton 🌺
I have done the AUM meditation over 100 times, I have received many instructions and Kai is a phenomenal instructor and facilitator. He comes with a beautiful mixture of personal and professional delivery. I feel him what it means to him and he instructs me clearly and simply so that I can feel empowered. And in a way, make it my own. There are many elements that were creatively put together that allowed me to take it deeper than I've done in the past, really making each stage of the meditation matter to me personally. I walk out of this experience, energized freed up, more in touch with myself, closer to my longing to live more my purpose to be closer to myself and in harmony.
I can recommend this event for anyone who would like to feel more fully expressed and free to be yourself to come CLOSER home to yourself.
Hallo lieber Kai, ich wollte dir noch einmal ganz herzlich danken für die wunderbare, unbeschreibliche AUM-Erfahrung am Samstag und für deine Anleitung. Für mich war es ja das erste Mal und ich habe echt über die letzten 10 Jahre so einiges im Bereich Achtsamkeit, Meditation, Yoga, Selbsterfahrung ausprobiert und vieles auch mittlerweile regelmäßig in mein Leben integriert. Aber so eine Lebendigkeit, wie ich sie während und v.a. jetzt auch nach der AUM gespürt habe und diese emotionalen Katharsismomente und Begegnungen habe ich in dieser Intensität bislang zumindest im Rahmen eines eigentlich doch kurzen zeitlichen Rahmens noch nie erlebt. Es könnte für mich "Suchtpotential" haben im positiven Sinn. Du hast die Gruppe ganz wunderbar angeleitet, begleitet, warst ein wichtiger Teil davon und ich wollte einfach meine Dankbarkeit über diese besondere Erfahrung nochmals zum Ausdruck bringen. Liebe Grüße,
Hey Kai, danke dass du das weiter organisierst. Ich finde, du/ihr habt damit über die letzten Monate eine schöne Dynamik in München erzeugt. Und ich bin mir sicher, das wird auch an der neuen Location eine tolle Meditation. Ich freue mich darauf!
Danke sehr für die Achtsamkeit, die Freude und das Raumhalten. Es ist genial, diese Möglichkeit, so viele unterdrückte Emotionen mit so viel Spaß zu lösen. ✨🙏✨
Lieber Kai! (...) Ich finde es wirklich grandios und großartig was Du hier alles bewegst, organisierst und machst. Von Herzen DANKE! Und ja: Repeat!
Danke nochmal für diese tolle Erfahrung! Ich fühle mich 5 kg leichter, als wäre mir ein Stein von der Brust genommen worden. Ich werde jetzt erstmal etwas essen.. Mein Frühstück war nur ein Croissant, kein Wunder, dass ich nach der AUM so platt war.
I have pain in my muscles today 😋 but feel clear and present, thank you all for doing it together!
Vielen Dank für die kraftvolle AUM. Der Raum, den Du vorbereitet hast und in dem wir unsere Energie leben konnten, war genial. Ich freue mich auf das nächste AUM Erlebnis.
Thank you, Kai, feeling damn grateful for being a part of today’s journey, such great energy. With love and a big hell YES for showing up fully! ❤️
Die AUM war echt toll, du hast das megagut angeleitet. Chapeau! Ich hatte am Folgetag ein großes Vorstellungsgespräch und bin da (ausgelöst durch die AUM) völlig unkonventionell rangegangen. Die Leute waren sehr impressed 🤣 ... es war der erste Schritt von dem, was ich mir in der Diskussionsrunde am Ende mit euch vorgenommen hatte: mich mehr von gesellschaftlichen Zwängen befreien… Also an dieser Stelle ein dickes Dankeschön für diesen speziellen Abend!
