Pottery Painting

This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits! For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it. Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages — all levels are welcome :) How it works: 1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\. 2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\. 3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\. -> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location. Get out your pencils and let's start! Please bring your own art supplies!

We meet and sketch each other in Berlin. This is just an art gym that we also exercise our social skills. Afterwards usually we go for lunch as a group. **How Does It Work?** This event is simple, we meet and sketch each other doing portraits. Most of the participants use pencils or watercolors. Main aim is to socialize while we draw. There will be plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. We have to mention that this event is suitable for all levels. Many have started to draw in our event actually. **Structure** A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute. B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes. C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other. **Who We Are** Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin. **Is it Free?** The event is free of charge. It is advisable to get a drink though. This is a cafe, we need to have at least half of the people on each table with a drink. They accept only cash and most hot drinks cost from 2.50 to 3.50. **How to help or donate?** The event is provided for free but many people help this be a regular thing. We also need people to volunteer and help for minor tasks like the serving of the drinks or cleaning up. Just send us a message. If you want to donate and keep this event from happening, via Paypal to the host (Miltos) : https://ko-fi.com/miltosthings/ **Art Materials?** Bring your own art materials. **Our Instagram Profile** Follow us on instagram @icreativesessions Use the hashtag #icreativesessions on your post description there to find out drawings from the event!

Einladung zu einer Reise hin zum eigenen Körper: Wenn unser Geist Urlaub macht, taucht darunter ganz von allein Spiel, Spontaneität, Leichtigkeit auf. Aber wie kommen wir in eine solchen Zustand? Zeit, Sanftheit, Kommunikation. Mit ganz unterschiedlichen, leicht zugänglichen, Impulsen und Übungen aus Contact Improvisation, Tanz und Movement beginnen wir mehr und mehr nach innen zu horchen. Durch sowohl Stille als auch Bewegung kommen wir zur Ruhe, wecken erhöhte Präsenz und Verbundenheit. Experimentieren, Loslassen und Albernheit sind willkommen, wenn wir mit uns selbst, in Partnerarbeit und in der Gruppe in Bewegung kommunizieren. Der Workshop richtet sich an alle Neugierigen, die dieses Im-Moment-Sein schon immer mal ausprobieren wollten - oder bereits Erfahrungen haben. Wie ist es, wenn wir für eine Weile alles kalkulierende fallen lassen und uns einfach nur dem hingeben, was unser gemeinsamer Atem kreiert? Bitte komm' in gemütlicher Kleidung, in der du dich gut bewegen kannst, ohne große Knöpfe, Schnallen, Accessoires, ohne allzu vollen Magen :-) 🕛 Wann: Sonntag 19.04.26, 14-17 Uhr 📍Wo: Villa Offensiv, Hasselwerderstraße 38, 12439 Berlin Anmeldungslink: https://forms.office.com/e/NuZgqM3Cjz \-\-\-\-\-\-\- When our mind takes a break, playfulness, spontaneity, and lightness emerge naturally. But how do we reach such a state? Time, gentleness, communication. Through diverse, easily accessible impulses and exercises from Contact Improvisation, dance, and movement, we begin to listen more and more to our inner selves. Through both stillness and movement, we find peace, awaken heightened presence, and experience connection. Experimentation, letting go, and silliness are welcome as we communicate with ourselves, in pairs, and as a group through movement. This workshop is for all those curious to experience this state of being in the moment—or who already have some experience with it. What is it like when we let go of all calculation for a while and simply surrender to what our shared breath creates? Please come in comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, without large buttons, buckles, or accessories, and don't eat too much :-) 🕛 When: Sunday, April 19, 2026, 2–5 pm 📍 Where: Villa Offensiv, Hasselwerderstraße 38, 12439 Berlin Registration link: https://forms.office.com/e/NuZgqM3Cjz

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.
