Meta:morfosis has been moving through its own metamorfosis since the beginning of 2024. The medicine collective that founded the space in 2020 has left along with most of the practitioners who had been apart of Meta:morfosis since the beginning. Of the current practitioners two were apart of of original Meta:morfosis group and ten new practitioners since have joined.
Overall, it is an almost completely new group of people organising the space. As such we have gone through structural changes as well as navigating new collective and community dynamics. Through this process we now transitioning to our new name “SPARK Collective Berlin” as this reflects the changes and growth we as a collective have moved through.
We are currently in the exciting process of designing a new website and logo. We are excited to share this with you once we are done.
You can find the medicine collective who founded meta:morfosis in 2020 here: medizinkollektiv.net.
Anke, one of the founding members is part of the new collective that is now administering Shiatsu Schule Kreuzberg https://shiatsu-schule.de
“SPARK Collective Berlin” is a queer-led space for bodywork, therapy and counselling.
We are inherently political because our existence is resistance and the work we do challenges systems of oppression. As it is rooted in intersectionality, queerness, body-based healing, and community action.
Many of us offering sliding scale to make care work as accessible as possible while also trying to survive capitalism ourselfs.
From the perspective of body work and therapy: we go within working with our inner worlds and our body;
- to be in connection
- to feel, to pause
- to rest
- to care
- to slow down
- to feel joy
- to feel pleasure
- to be seen and to be held exactly as one is.
We believe care begins with honoring our own needs, boundaries, and bodies, so that we can show up fully for one another. We hold each other in our full dignity and worth, and we make space for the complexity of different lived experiences.
We understand that when you don’t fit into the systems or the boxes the world demands, harm happens. We’re here to acknowledge that, and offer care that is responsive, relational, and rooted in justice.
You can find more information about the current practitioners and what we offer.
Additionally, we offer practice spaces for rent and are actively looking for new members who are intersted in becoming part of a collective that designs the practice spaces together and advocates for accessible healthcare, rather than just renting a space?
