Do you know this beautiful happy spring feeling full of juicyness and excitement? 🌱🌿🍀

The sun is back, coloring the land green.
Perky buds sprout here and there, growing and growing, rivers flowing...
We will bloom like flowers. Flowering, showering - and shivering with excitement! Oh, these hormones - what can you do?
Everything tastes like a promise... ✨

Fairies and witches, monkeys and magicians, you beautiful tribe - it's time to gather around the fire and celebrate the arrival of spring! 🔥

Since the old days on the night of the last April and the day of the first May the village people celebrate the coming spring. Beltane or ‚Walpurgisnacht’ as the festivity is called in German is a celebration of fruitfulness and abundance. Traditionally, the people prayed for a ‚fat‘ year: a rich harvest, financial stability, good relationships and healthy offspring. 

It‘s a time to plant the seeds for what we will harvest later this year. And 2019 is an important year of finding our truth and learning to live according to that and evolve, both individually and as a community. Let‘s plant some seeds together! 🌈

✩ MONKEY RULES ✩

In order to sustain a safe space for monkeying around we ask you to respect the following guidelines:

1. Please treat yourself and others with respect and care
2. Please keep noble silence in the dance room and the sauna (chanting, sounding, monkey sounds are welcome though!)
3. If you must say something during the dance say it with your body or give your friend a sign to move into the chill out room
4. Don't stand around on the dancefloor during the whole event. The dancefloor is for dancing and nothing else.
5. Please smoke your monkey cigarettes outside!

✩ MONKEY FAQ ✩

How do I get there?

Look for Moos Space on Google Maps!

By Public Transport

Take the S-Bahn to S Treptower Park. 
From there you can either take the exit towards the park and then walk through Treptower Park, crossing Puschkinallee. Walk parallel to the big street (B96a), cross it and enter Moosdorfstraße on the right, walk until the end, turn left and enter the yard. The entrance is at the end of the building on the right side. Enter and walk the stairs up to the 2nd floor.

Or you take the exit towards the street at Treptower park, turn left, walk along the B96a, after the cinema turn left again, cross the street and take the first right (Moosdorfstraße). Proceed as indicated above.

By Car

You can try to park on the parking strip on B96a next to Treptower park.

By Witch Broom

Okay, if you know how to ride that thing, you will be so intuitive that you don't need any further information...

What should I wear?

Whatever you feel comfortable and sexy in! If you like to dance like a crazy monkey witch, make sure that you can move in your outfit! Lycra might be better than jeans - but its all up to you. 

And if you wish masquerade as a witch, fairy, pixie, magician or magic monkey to celebrate this bewitched Walpurgisnacht.

How to use the sauna?

If you want to use the sauna bring a towel to sit on and to dry yourself after the shower. Bring a bathrobe or a sarong to wear in between the sauna visits so you don’t have to get fully dressed again. 
There is a small changing room where you can change. The amazing UHU team will nurture you with about hourly aromatic infusions. You can also go in in between, then it will be emptier and feel less hot.

The sauna will probably be quite full so please take care of yourself and others and make space for others after your visit so everybody can enjoy.

Very important: 
Please don’t talk in the sauna. It might disturb those around you that want to relax.


Will there be anything to eat and drink?

Urban Healing Unit provides yummy raw cacao, magic may vine and some delicious healthy vegetarian snacks made with love.

Please don't bring own drinks! Hot and cool drinks are provided by Urban Healing Unit.



What about alcohol?

The only alcoholic beverage offered will be the traditional German Walpurgisnacht drink may vine (Maibowle). We decided to offer it because we love it and it's a traditional magic potion for beltane! 

It's made from local woodruff. Woodruff is a healing herb with anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and vasodilatory effects. In mythology it has been known as a powerful protective plant against any evil or demonic forces and in combination with St John's Wort and Mentha pulegium to chase away witches. This special night we will use the woodruff to scare away our inner demons and witches to step into our power and abundance for a fresh spring.

However if you chose to try it please drink responsibly.

What is The Blue Monkey all about?

As the 11th kin (energetic quality) of the maya calendar, Chuen or Ba'atz, the Blue Monkey stands for the lightness and playfulness of the child that is not yet conditioned by society. Open and innocent, it just follows its impulses.

It is this energy that served as inspiration for The Blue Monkey. A Monkey day is a good day for dance, music, play and monkeying around. For a “Conscious Carnival”, a space in which we can drop our societal masks and flow together. We feel that this energy of lightness and playfulness is needed very much in our world today. At the same time we want to keep it conscious and safe and and thus offer an alternative to Berlin's regular club life that nourishes our need for ecstasy without the unbalanced overindulging.

Monkey DJs:

ALMA LINDA b2b SPECIAL GUEST
✩ https://soundcloud.com/alma_linda ✩ 

Alma Linda is widely known not only in the Berlinian but also international universe of downbeat. Currently touring South America and playing at the Brazilian carnival in Rio de Janeiro, we are more than happy and proud to have her back and playing for us soon. This time she will bring a special guest from South America with whom she will play b2b. The secret will soon be revealed here.

The rhythms of different landscapes are her biggest inspiration: Andean music, hip hop, Arabic drums and jazz, united with the heart of electronic beats. In her powerful downbeat-sets she blends these worlds, rhythms, cultures, melodies and musical memories into her most personal stories, delivered right from her bare soul. In doing so, fear, vulnerability and mistakes turn into creatures she's trying to become friends with instead of running away from. So don't run - just dance!
