What a journey it is to watch an idea grow, little by little. I feel like a 3.0 gardener in this futuristic, tech-driven world, learning to water a digital garden with all my love and intention đŸȘŽ

And you know what’s the most beautiful part? The flowers (that’s you!) are blooming so fast. You are already over 765 who are reading the newsletter, and I’m so grateful that you’re resonating with this project. I truly believe that when we create with intention, care, vision, and a full heart, growth unfolds naturally, like flowers reaching toward the sun 🌾🌞 There's no need to force it. I'm learning to trust this rhythm. To be patient. To keep showing up and watering my garden with love and sincerity, while staying deeply rooted in the "why" that started it all! And no matter the number behind the screen, I’m truly enjoying this ride by embracing the process, learning to let go of expectations, and staying patient and consistent. After all, before you can enjoy a beautiful house, you have to build a solid foundation
and that takes time, care, and a lot of trust.

In today’s edition, I’m excited to introduce one of my dearest and talented friend in Berlin, OcĂ©ane. She is one of my closest friend in Berlin, I love how she’s dedicating herself to her sets care and love into her sets, bringing and the artwork of Hagen Schönfeld. A big thank you for Jennifer Eireen which is writing the astrology forecast section for the next two weeks.

Discover Océane, DJ, teacher and coach

OcĂ©ane, aka OcĂ©ane ClĂ©opatre, is a French DJ and sound artist based in Berlin. She explores music as an emotional, intuitive playground, fluidly moving between genres like house, electronic, disco, and organic... Each performance is transformable, shaped by emotion, energy, and the collective vibe. Like Berlin Flow, she knows a true flow doesn’t follow the rules, it just moves where it feels right, bringing energy and surprise. Inspired by deep listening and movement, she creates a space that encourages both dance and introspection. She also shares her passion through DJ courses for FLINTA* individuals, combining technique, personal expression, and coaching tools. For OcĂ©ane, DJing is about holding space, encouraging others to express themselves and affirm their place through sound.

How would you describe yourself in one sentence? 

I am a fluid, social explorative person and a reliable pillar you can always count on!

How has Berlin influenced your journey?

I arrived in Berlin 13 years ago and felt from the very beginning that I would stay for a while. This city has greatly influenced who I am today.  In Paris, I felt like I couldn’t be authentic and had to play a role. I was lucky to feel accepted as I am when I arrived in Berlin, and I am deeply grateful for the privileges that have allowed me to expand in multiple directions. Being able to make a living today through professions that positively impact both myself and others brings me immense personal satisfaction. Berlin has also shown me how sexuality, as well as romantic and platonic relationships, are filled with nuances that many of us may not fully realize. Personally, I continue to discover more of these nuances every day.

What do you think Berlin represents in terms of personal growth or transformation?

Berlin is big enough for a tall person like me, offering plenty of room to grow in every way. It has given me much more space than my hometown, Paris, to explore my skills, creativity, myself, and others. Berlin allowed me to evolve in ways I never imagined. This city offers you the chance to constantly reinvent yourself, not just through the city itself, but thanks to the people who live here. It feels like I’m always traveling without ever leaving the same place, inspired by the diversity, openness, and creativity around me. Maybe there’s a limit to that after so many years, but even today, Berlin still manages to surprise me.

Océane

If Berlin had a soundtrack, what song would best describe your life here?

Haha, that’s a difficult question to ask a DJ! I would say "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" by Sylvester. This song characterizes the impact Berlin has had on me, becoming the most authentic version of myself. It’s also a nod to my early days as a solo DJ, when disco was a major presence in my selections.

What kind of change would you like to see in Berlin over the next few years?

I would love to see Berlin continue to embrace its diversity while creating even more spaces for connection and creativity. I hope the city becomes a place where individuals from all backgrounds can thrive and collaborate, especially in the arts and music scenes. I’d also love to see more emphasis on sustainability, both in lifestyle and in the music industry, ensuring that the city not only grows but evolves in a way that benefits both its people and the planet.
Most of all, I hope we can use art as a powerful tool to inspire change, to question systems, to bring people together, and to imagine new ways of living. Art has the unique ability to shift perspectives and open hearts, and I’d love to see Berlin continue to nurture that spirit.

How do you reconnect with yourself when the city feels overwhelming?

When I feel overwhelmed by city life, I take my bike and ride fast around Tempelhof, go for a run, do yoga, or meditate. If I can, I take a walk in a forest or garden. Ideally, when possible, I like to escape Berlin for a few days and go to the sea.

How do you navigate moments of self-doubt or creative blocks?

I navigate moments of self-doubt by trying to observe and appreciate what I’ve accomplished so far. I’m learning to practice compassion. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s starting to take shape. Reconnecting through meditation and integrating my emotions has been incredibly helpful too. Also taking breaks from creation and focusing on something else helps my brain to relax and regain inspiration. 

If you could give your younger self who arrived in Berlin one piece of advice, what would it be?

"Enjoy the ride" ;) !
Like someone told me one day, Berlin brings you the best like the worst in you. Be ready for the Ups and Downs!

Favorite places to discover in Berlin?
I really love 90mil, a queer collective of artists that’s incredibly creative and inspiring. Then there’s Sameheads, a small retro-futuristic club in Neukölln that’s absolutely worth the detour for its unique, outsider vibe, totally out of the box. And of course, the classic Sisyphos holds a special place in my heart, as it’s the club that’s been with me throughout my DJ journey

Do you have new Projects coming up?

Yes!! a lot! but i am just gonna speak about the last one in date:  My friend Pegah, aka Pegusha DJ artist from Iran, and I are building an inclusive platform/collective for FLINTA artists across various disciplines. Our focus is on intersectional values, and we’re passionate about reshaping the cultural landscape. Our goal is to merge artistic practices, identities, and cultural roots, creating an electric, fluid, and joyful superculture. We’re not about competition but about development, transformation and support! Fiercely and collaboratively creating a space where everyone can thrive.
Stay tuned for more info in the coming months on our social media platforms. Let's stay in touch ;)

NACHTCLUBSBERLIN, A DOCUMENTARY PROJECT ABOUT SOULS OF BERLIN

I started this project back in 2018 by taking analog portraits of people standing in front of Berlin’s iconic clubs. If you scroll down the Instagram feed, you’ll find over 400 portraits capturing the raw and vibrant energy of this magical city. For the past year and a half, the project has evolved. I’ve been interviewing people about life in Berlin, diving into themes like drug use, queerness, spirituality, and philosophy...

If this resonates with you, I’d love your support: follow the project, book me as your photographer, donate some money, and share it with your friends or simply take a moment to watch, like, and comment on the videos. Every bit helps keep this alive đŸ–€

đŸȘđŸŒ·Â Tears watered your garden - now watch it bloom! - April 15th to April 29th, 2025

The Libra Full Moon opened us wide—cleansing how we relate to ourselves & releasing old fears of intimacy and self-worth across all 9 dimensions. Pain may surface, but this is a purification. Think of the way you relate to yourself. Being truly intimate with your surroundings. What do you see? Lean into Jupiter’s expansion—see the gifts the future holds. Venus conjunct Saturn asks us to commit to what really matters. Real love has structure. Real dreams require roots. Also, all planets are finally moving forward (until May 5), which means no more cosmic limbo—this is full momentum for the next three weeks. Deeply purposeful integration.

The Sun flows through Taurus, activating squares with Pluto and Mars. As we see more clearly what our body needs – what our earth needs – we will feel the evolutionary tension and discomfort. What if the change makes us feel judged? What if by changing, we won't fit into the “group” we used to hang around with anymore? What if the changes are too vulnerable and put us again into a position of pain? The truth is, you will never be able to shut down the voice of the body, because it is YOU! Your home, your landing space in this realm, your vehicle, your mirror. Respecting and honoring that requires true courage and innovation. Not everyone will get the new you, that's okay. Trust your body. It’s not just a vessel. It’s an oracle.

“YOUR ENERGY IS YOUR CURRENCY”

If you're reading this right now, I’d invite you to stop for a moment and check in with your energy level. From 0% to 100%, how much energy do you have right now? How do you feel in your body? What’s alive? Just take a moment to pause, breathe, and really feel into it. Notice where you might be holding tension or feeling drained.

When you think about it, everything in this world is about energy. It’s the force behind our actions, thoughts, and interactions with others. It’s what fuels our creativity, drives our passions, and shapes how we connect with others. Your energy is your currency. The more energy you have, the more you’re able to give, support, and grow! That’s really simple.

When your energy is low, the priority isn’t to push harder
 the priority is always to pause, replenish, and realign
. Slow down, rest, and focus on activities that recharge you. It might be as simple as taking a walk in nature, meditating, listening to music, or spending time with people who uplift you. These are the investments that increase your energy balance and make you more efficient and productive.

❝

Your energy introduces you even before you speak.

Unknown

The more aware you are of your energy levels, the more intentional you can be — and the easier it becomes to prioritize where you want to direct your energy. You’ll show up more fully for your work, your relationships, and your vision. Directed energy is powerful.
And when your energy is low, when you’re feeling truly drained, even the most exciting opportunities or tasks can feel overwhelming.

That's why, for me, resting is very productive. It’s always a question of balance, right?

When your cup is full, you can support others with a full heart. Setting boundaries then becomes an inspiration for others and an act of courage. It’s about choosing to love yourself, even if it means risking the disappointment of others.

If you’re ready to shift old patterns and unlock your true energy, I’d love to guide you on this transformative journey. Together, we’ll create the life that feels authentic and energizing for you. If you’re motivated to take action and embrace responsibility for your well-being, feel free to book a free discovery call here.

📣 I am organizing regular women’s circle that are powerful! Join my next Women’s Circles on Friday 18th of April “Towards Body Acceptance” here and on Friday 29th “Meet The Inner Critic” here!

Journaling questions / Exercices:
- Who or what feels like a worthy investment of your energy right now?
- Make a list of your energy drainers: who and what are draining your energy?
- Make a list of your energy givers: who and what are giving you energy?
- What boundaries do you need to set to protect your energy better?
- What rituals, practices, or environments bring you back to your energetic center?
