Humaniversity AUM in Berlin and Munich

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.

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 one or two extra T-shirts with you. A dry, clean T-shirt feels good for you and for others when you hug.

No, the AUM is not therapy, and it is not a replacement for therapy. The AUM is a social meditation where you learn to master your emotions. The goal of the AUM is to transform negative emotions into positive, creative energy and to achieve personal well-being and peace of mind. The ultimate goal of this process is to create friendship and trust between each other.

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.

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.

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.

It is not usually intended to perform the AUM meditation naked. The AUM involves intense cathartic exercises that are typically done in loose, comfortable clothing.
However, in certain special themed AUMs that I offer, nudity may be allowed or invited during certain phases.

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.

No.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The AUM leaders are there to ensure the safety and welfare of everyone in the meditation. Even so, each participant must take responsibility for their own actions. To create a safe environment, we have one central rule: you cannot be physically violent towards yourself, others or the environment. In order to make sure everyone is aware of the rules and guidelines, we ask each person to give prior written consent by signing the contract.
