Best Free Group Meditations in Berlin
1. Medium Cool Meditation Club
Medium Cool Meditation Club is a relaxed, quirky group hosting monthly in-person sessions at a secret Berlin location in Neukölln, plus weekly online meditations. Their approach is casual and friendly, emphasizing community over doctrine or “spiritual pretense.” Spaces are limited and registration is required – but sessions are inclusive, English-language, and a favorite among Berlin’s creative crowd, and we say this without bias.
