Offenes Singen „Zwischen den Jahren“
Am 29.12. um 18:00 Weihnachtsspezial: Offenes Singen „Zwischen den Jahren“:
Wir packen unsere Lieblingslieder zusammen, singen gemeinsam bei Kerzenschein, Keksen, Tee oder Punsch. Weihnachten ist eine gute Zeit, um sich gegenseitig zu zeigen, dass wir wichtig füreinander sind. Gemeinsam singen schafft solch eine Gemeinschaft, selbst wenn wir uns vorher noch nicht kannten. Wer mag, bringt eine Kleinigkeit zum Wichteln mit, wickelt sie ein und schreibt einen guten Wunsch dazu. (Wichtiger Hinweis: es soll nichts kosten, nur eine kleine Geste sein.)
Diese Dinge könntet ihr mitbringen:
eine Kleinigkeit zum Verschenken, eine kleine Notiz mit einem guten Wunsch Liederbücher/Liederblätter, falls vorhanden
eigene Instrumente, falls vorhanden
eine Kleinigkeit zu essen (Kekse, Kuchen o. ä.)
Für Getränke ist gesorgt
Und wie immer gilt: Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis
Um die Planung zu erleichtern, melde Dich bitte an unter:
kontakt@heilsames-singen-berlin.de
(Wer spontan kommen kann, ist natürlich ebenso willkommen!)
Ich freue mich auf Euch und eine gemütliche und fröhliche gemeinsame Zeit.

COMMERCIAL CONFIDENT (dance like You own the club)
## DNA. presents ''COMMERCIAL CONFIDENT"

The Connection Table: Food, Culture & Community @PunjabHaus
**A night of culture, connection, and community in the heart of Berlin**
Hey everyone,
We welcome you all to **Punjab Haus**, a cozy and spacious Indian restaurant on Meraner Str., and we've always believed that **food** has this incredible power to **bring** **people together**.
That’s why we are hosting this — not just as a dinner or a party, but as a chance for people from **different backgrounds, countries, and walks of life** to come together, share stories, laugh, and feel part of something warm and real.
Whether you’ve just moved to Berlin, you’ve been here for years, or you're just passing through — we’d love to invite you to our **first community night of the summer**.
***
### 🌍 What’s the vibe?
Think of it like a big living room with chai, music, and good people.
Some will come to meet new friends.
Some just want to relax and have a drink.
Some might talk about travel, music, love, life — whatever flows.
You don’t need to know anyone.
You don’t need to be anything.
Just come as you are.
***
### 🫶 What we’ll have:
* A warm, welcoming space (indoor & outdoor)
* Delicious **Indian Food** + drinks (non-alcoholic too)
* Background music, chill lighting, and soft vibes
* Open tables for conversations — or quiet corners if you just want to take it in
* Hosts (including us) to welcome you & help you feel at home

* We may take a few photos for our page — if that’s not okay, just tell us (no problem at all)
***
We hope this is the start of something beautiful — a space where culture, connection, and kindness come together.
Looking forward to meeting you 🧡

Burning Bowl Service – Release, Renew, and Begin Again for 2026
As we prepare to enter a new year, the Burning Bowl Ceremony offers a powerful and heartfelt opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and make space for new beginnings.
You are warmly invited to join us for this sacred and reflective ritual. The Burning Bowl Ceremony is a beloved Unity tradition—an empowering moment where we release old patterns, worries, or limiting beliefs by writing them down and symbolically releasing them into the flame. This act of letting go opens the door to clarity, peace, and transformation.

White Stone Ceremony – A New Name, A New Beginning
You are invited to participate in one of Unity’s most meaningful and empowering traditions—the **White Stone Ceremony**. As we enter a new year, this sacred ritual gives you the opportunity to listen within, connect with Spirit, and claim a new name or intention for your life.
In ancient times, receiving a white stone symbolized freedom, new identity, and fresh possibility. Today, we continue that tradition by holding a smooth white stone, entering a quiet meditation, and allowing Spirit to reveal a word, name, or message that reflects who you are becoming.

This event will be held in the Greenhouse/Multipurpose Building located near the east end of the parking lot. Click here to see the Inniswood map.
If you have native seeds to share, label each species with this information:
* Botanical Name
* Common Name
Species we will accept:
* Species native to our ecoregion (8.2.4) - Best
* Species native to Ohio and surrounding states - Good
* Straight species only - no cultivars.
The seeds don’t need to be removed from the seed head if you aren’t sure how to do it, but don’t leave much stem on the seed heads.
Please email the list of species to Mary May so we can prepare information for attendees. You can bring the seeds on the day of the swap, or we can arrange to have them picked up beforehand - just let her know in the email.
If you don’t have any seeds to bring, no worries. If you are new to native plants or didn't have time to collect seeds, there are ALWAYS plenty from those that do bring them! We love to see "newbies" at our seed exchange! Also, remember to bring something to put seeds in such as envelopes, paper bags or containers.

CMG Gives Back: Food Distribution at CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY!
Start the New Year off right! Join us as we get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event to distribute food at the Champion Food Pantry! We’ve created a great little community of Movie Group friends! Rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve people in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event:
CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: The Champion Food Pantry provides needed food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity. For this event, we’ll be volunteering to help with Food Distribution during client pick up times. Our group will receive on-the-spot training from some of their seasoned regular volunteers.
PLAN FOR CHAMPION FOOD PANTRY: Please arrive by 2:45pm. Our volunteer time will be from 3:00 to 6:00pm.
LOCATION & PARKING: The Champion Food Pantry is located at 1460 S. Champion Ave in Columbus. Parking is located in the lot on Frebis across from the pantry. Please enter through the door marked "Volunteers enter here” on Frebis Ave. A map has been uploaded to the photos.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing the majority of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. No shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will mak you ineligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve.
LINKS & INFO: Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details:

• Link with Additional Details / Info: https://lss.vomo.org/opportunity/foodpantrieschampion
THANK YOU: This CMG Gives Back event provides an opportunity for YOU to get involved in helping others in our community! But the benefits go well beyond the help we give to others. Volunteering can provide a wide range of personal benefits, including positive effects on mental and physical health, reduced stress/depression/anxiety, increased happiness and improved purpose, life-satisfaction and personal well-being! Plus, the opportunity to get involved, connect with others and help those in need.
PARTNER AGENCY: This event is hosted by Lutheran Social Services (LSS), which serves thousands of people in need each day in 27 Ohio counties by addressing the four core societal issues of food, shelter, safety and healing. LSS offers food through the LSS Food Pantries, housing and supportive services through LSS Faith Mission and LSS Faith Mission of Fairfield County homeless shelters, domestic violence services through LSS CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence, senior living and health care, affordable housing communities, and other services that uplift families and strengthen communities.
Thanks for your help and look forward to seeing you there, Dan
