Join us Saturday June 5 at Soulcollective Pop-Up Space, Berlin for a special sensory reset doubleheader. We are pairing a somatic tools workshop from Bihter Kartheuser and a soundbath from live ambient performer, Ambisolace-George Uptown- to create a unique space to tune in and open up.
What we're offering
In this 2,5-hour workshop, we will co-create a space that feels safe enough for each of us—a space for slow-paced exploration rather than a definitive one. After some foundational nervous system practices, we’ll discuss the theory behind them, move our bodies, invite in a sense of playfulness, dive a bit deeper into the concepts, after reflection and idea exchange, we’ll close the space with an hour of an ambient sound bath with beloved George Uptown-Ambisolace.
We'll be carrying the explorative quality we have discovered during the workshop into the ambient sound bath and tune into the sensory journey of sound. You'll leave with an embodied understnading of how your nervous system functions and a taste of sensory experience.
What to expect
15.00 - Opening and an orientation practice
15.20 - The basics of Polyvagal Theory
The science behind orientation and safety
15.50 - Movement & break
16.00 - Exploring self-regulation & co-regulation
Integrating nervous system awareness into everyday life
Q&A
16.30 - 17.30 A sensory ambient sound bath journey
~Live~
A combination of traditional instrumentation, synthesizers, and cutting-edge electronics allows Ambisolace to build lush, ambient soundworlds in real time.
~Ambient~
The sound of instruments, textures, synthesizers, and field recordings meld and change shape in space, painting fresh color across the canvas of your mind. Each new sonic environment is constructed before your ears, urging you ever onwards into new worlds of sound and physical sensation.
~Soundbath~
A long-form improvisational live set that will take you on a journey through multivariate worlds of harmonic and physical experience. Participants are encouraged to sit comfortably or lay down and experience the depth of feeling available to them in their body as they witness the sonic landscape change around them.

With a multidisciplinary background, I pursued doctoral studies in media studies but eventually reached a point where theory alone no longer satisfied my existential curiosity. This led me to train as a yoga and meditation teacher.
Later I found coaching, a field that offered a more integrative and grounded approach to personal transformation, to be the missing link in my journey. After training as a mindfulness coach, I delved into trauma work and later trained in body psychotherapy with the NeuroSystemics Care. Delving into trauma work and becaming fascinated by nervous system science, it's become a true passion of mine to spread awareness about the nervous system.
I currently offer one-on-one and group sessions focused on nervous system awareness, resilience, and embodied transformation. I'm almost obsessed about ways in which we can be more ourselves without the fear of being excluded, and yet create deliberately developing spaces for enabling that for ourselves and the bigger group.

Born in California, with past projects ranging from folk to funk, and homes from Oregon to Japan, I’ve now been living in Berlin and performing organic electronic music live here in various genres for the last 11 years.
I release music and perform live downbeat and trip-hop music as Hubrist, ambient music as Ambisolace, and afterhour dub techno as Endloswelle.
I split the rest of my time between teaching music production at TUMO Berlin and crafting bespoke music and sound design for various media.
