Women in Berlin who: • Are job hunting and feeling stuck or overwhelmed at the current job • Are new to Germany and figuring things out • Are students trying to navigate internships and first jobs • ⁠Are thinking about freelancing or building something of their own • Want honest career conversations without judgment • Crave meaningful female friendships and community • Want to support, mentor, and uplift other women Whether Berlin is brand new to you or has been home for years — you belong here. 🎟 Contribution €12 — Regular Ticket €8 — Early bird Ticket (for all till 2nd June) €8 — Student Ticket (33% community discount) 🎓 Because we know student life in Berlin can already feel expensive enough 💛 Pay via Revolut: revolut.me/mahakj6os Please add your name (and “student” if applicable) in the note so we can confirm your spot ✨ Limited spots available to keep the gathering intimate and meaningful.

**Book Club** With ***Marco Astolfi*** For **LGBTQIA+** **[Free with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/book-club/w23-2026)** **“The Loves of My Life” by Edmund White (2025)** In this late-life memoir, Edmund White looks back on decades of desire, intimacy and queer experience. Moving from the closeted 1950s to the age of apps, he recounts encounters, relationships and fleeting connections that shaped both his life and his writing. The result is a candid, witty and deeply personal portrait of love in its many forms. This final memoir by Edmund White, one of the most influential voices in queer literature, traces more than sixty years of gay life through the lens of desire. From furtive encounters in mid-century America to the sexual liberation of the post-Stonewall years and the shadow of the AIDS crisis, White’s recollections map an entire cultural history alongside his own biography. Structured less as a linear narrative than as a constellation of lovers, episodes and reflections, the book blends erotic confession with literary meditation. White writes about transactional sex, longings, power dynamics and emotional attachments with his signature mix of irony, tenderness and intellectual curiosity. What emerges is not only a chronicle of excess and experimentation, but also a sustained inquiry into the meaning of love—whether fleeting, one-sided or transformative. At once provocative and reflective, “The Loves of My Life” becomes a celebration of queer existence across generations, shaped by memory, loss, humour and an enduring devotion to beauty and language. **Book Club** Fur **LGTBQIA+** Mit ***Marco Astolfi*** **[Kostenlos mit Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/book-club/w23-2026/)** #### Village Book Club in English: "The Loves of My Life" von Edmund White (2025) In diesem späten Memoir blickt Edmund White auf Jahrzehnte von Begehren, Intimität und queerer Erfahrung zurück. Von den repressiven 1950er-Jahren bis ins digitale Zeitalter erzählt er von Begegnungen, Beziehungen und flüchtigen Verbindungen, die sein Leben und Schreiben geprägt haben. Das Ergebnis ist ein offenes, witziges und sehr persönliches Porträt von Liebe in all ihren Formen. Dieses letzte Memoir des bedeutenden Autors der queeren Literatur zeichnet über sechs Jahrzehnte schwulen Lebens anhand von Begehren und Beziehungen nach. Von heimlichen Begegnungen im Amerika der 1950er Jahre über die sexuelle Befreiung nach Stonewall bis hin zur AIDS-Krise entfaltet White zugleich seine eigene Biografie und eine kollektive Kulturgeschichte. Statt einer linearen Erzählung entsteht ein Mosaik aus Liebhabern, Episoden und Reflexionen. White verbindet explizite Erinnerungen mit literarischen Überlegungen und schreibt über käuflichen Sex, Sehnsucht, Machtverhältnisse und emotionale Bindungen mit Ironie, Zärtlichkeit und analytischem Blick. Dabei geht es weniger um Provokation als um die Frage, was Liebe bedeuten kann – als flüchtiger Moment, als unerfüllte Projektion oder als prägende Erfahrung. „The Loves of My Life“ wird so zu einer vielstimmigen Feier queerer Existenz, getragen von Erinnerung, Verlust, Humor und einer lebenslangen Hingabe an Sprache und Schönheit.

A dark Stand-up comedy hour in English about surviving the world's most infamous terrorist attack Edinburgh Fringe critically acclaimed solo hour comes to Berlin! Where were you on 9/11? Sitting in school? Sitting on the toilet? Nowhere of note? Well, Sofia May, the other hand, was running—for her life— from the dust cloud and debris as the World Trade Center toppled next to her school in downtown Manhattan and now, as an adult, she's processed a lot of that trauma, continues to grieve, and is ready to get hilarious. In this stand-up comedy solo hour, Sofia May takes the audience on a gruesome comedic journey of her experience as a tween survivor of the history's most outrageous terrorist attack. [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/911-birds-and-the-bees-tickets-1991470175905?) "It’s the kind of story that, on paper, shouldn’t be funny and yet in Sofia’s hands, it absolutely is. Her delivery is fearless, and the material so far beyond the usual stand-up fare that it makes every “dating trauma” or “annoying in-law” anecdote feel laughably trivial." — The Nerd Party "Sofia was a student at the school closest to the towers when they fell on 9/11 and has been in therapy ever since. But this isn’t one of those Edinburgh Fringe sob story shows; it’s an hour of engaging and wickedly dark humour that Sofia navigates with a Cheshire Cat-like grin" — European Comedy Review [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/911-birds-and-the-bees-tickets-1991470175905?) ________________________________________________________________ Venue: Mein Freund Harvey ([Kulmer Str. 20A, 10783 Berlin-Bezirk Tempelhof-Schöneberg](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x47a850383fdfdb39:0x703d3d78e7eccba3?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111 "https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x47a850383fdfdb39:0x703d3d78e7eccba3?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111")) Doors: 20:30 Showtime: 21:00 - 22:00 ________________________________________________________________ TICKETS: Online: 9 EUR Door: 12 EUR (Cash or card accepted) [Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/911-birds-and-the-bees-tickets-1991470175905?)
