Where to Learn Mindfulness in Berlin: Courses, Workshops & Community

Mindfulness is becoming more and more present in Berlin — from formal 8-week programs to creative workshops and open community sessions. But with so many offers, it can feel confusing to know where to start. This guide gives you an overview of mindfulness courses in Berlin, including structured MBSR trainings, shorter workshops, and ongoing practice groups.

Mindfulness Course in Berlin

MBSR and Mindfulness Courses in Berlin

The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program is the most established way to learn mindfulness. Developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, it’s an 8-week course combining meditation, mindful movement, and science-based tools for stress reduction.

If you’re looking for a structured path, you can join an MBSR and mindfulness course in Berlin with certified teachers. For example:

• MindfulnesswithCam offering regular MBSR courses in english throughout the year.

• Other programs: You can also explore the MBSR-Verband course listings for further certified courses in Berlin offered in German and English.

Mindfulness Workshops in Berlin

If you’re not ready to commit to an 8-week course, shorter mindfulness workshops in Berlin are a great way to start.

At MindfulnesswithCam, we offer creative and practical formats, such as:

• Mindfulness for Creatives: A 3-hour workshop helping artists reconnect with presence, ease perfectionism, and rediscover joy in the creative process.

• Mindfulness for Parents: Tools for calm, compassion, and connection in family life.

Workshops are 3 hours, accessible, and open to beginners. You can also start with this Mindful Parenting Starter kit if you want to explore by yourself.

Community Practice & Drop-In Sessions

Sometimes what we need is simply a space to practice together. Berlin has many opportunities to join mindfulness community sessions, including:

• Monthly Open Session with MindfulnesswithCam (Prenzlauer Berg, Galerie Raum): Donation-based, every last Friday of the month, 12:00–14:00.

• Community Village – Berlin Meditations & Meetups: A friendly and inclusive peer-led group offering regular gatherings, meditation events, and occasional mindful nature walks. Great way to connect with other practitioners in the city.

• Berlin Dharma – Insight Meditation in English: Offers daylong retreats and insight meditation events led in English. Especially welcoming for those seeking traditional insight teachings in a supportive setting.

Other types of Mindfulness experiences: "Das Heilende Museum"

Located at the Bode-Museum in Berlin, the “Das heilende Museum” project blends mindfulness, medical research, and art history. Open since April 2025, it invites visitors into a specially curated museum space promoting emotional healing through mindful engagement with art. The setup includes guided meditation audio tracks, multiple faith traditions’ contemplative practices, seating for silent reflection, and inspiration for integrating attentiveness into everyday life.

Retreats and Deep Dives

If you’d like to immerse yourself more fully, retreats offer extended practice in silence and nature. At MindfulnesswithCam, we are planning a full-day mindfulness retreat in early 2026 (details coming soon).

Other options include weekend retreats offered by Berlin-based teachers, which can be found via the MBSR Verband website.
