Der Kreis ist ein Ort, an dem wir friedlich zusammensitzen, aus dem Herzen sprechen und mit dem Herzen zuhören können. Ein Ort, an dem wir die unterschiedlichen Lebensumstände, aus denen wir kommen, respektieren, ohne zu urteilen. Der Heart Circle ist eine Praxis, die von den Ureinwohnern Nordamerikas stammt und von den Radical Faeries übernommen wurde, um Gemeinschaft zu bilden. **Hinweise** Wir öffnen die Türen um 19.30 Uhr.

**Cuddling as Collective Care – all genders** for **LGBTQIA+** **[Book a Ticket](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/regenerative-touch/w26-2026)** **Member: 15 €** **Regular: 30 €** This Cuddle Puddle offers a safe, consent-based space for people of all genders within the LGBTQIA+ community to experience non-sexual touch, communal connection and rest. Guided exercises support emotional wellbeing, boundaries, and self-awareness. **Cuddle Puddles** are structured, guided spaces where people can experience the benefits of non-sexual touch — such as reduced stress, nervous system regulation, and a deeper sense of belonging. Touch, when consensual and caring, can support emotional resilience and mental health. This **Cuddle Puddle** is open to all genders within the LGBTQIA+ community, creating a space where diverse identities can meet beyond gendered expectations. A non-gender-restricted setting allows for broader empathy, mutual understanding, and connection, while honoring individual boundaries, choice, and safety at all times. **General Information** • This format is for all queer people (LGBTQIA+) interested in experiencing touch in a safe(r) setting. • This is a clothes-on format. • Bring a sheet and towel to cover cushions, mats, or massage tables. • This event will be in English • This event is also available at a reduced member price – but not part of the three-free-monthly-events benefit. • Concession tickets upon written request to **[events@wearevillage.org](mailto:events@wearevillage.org)** **Kuscheln als kollektive Fürsorge – Alle Geschlechter** für **LGBTQIA+** **[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/regenerative-touch/w26-2026/)** **Mitglied: 15 €** **Regulärer Preis: 30 €** Dieser Cuddle Puddle bietet einen sicheren, einvernehmlichen Raum für Menschen aller Geschlechter aus der LGBTQIA+ Community, um nicht-sexuelle Nähe, gemeinschaftliche Verbindung und Entspannung zu erleben. Die angeleitete Erfahrung stärkt emotionales Wohlbefinden, Körperwahrnehmung und klare Grenzen. **Cuddle Puddles** sind angeleitete Räume für bewusste, nicht-sexuelle Berührung, die Stress reduzieren, das Nervensystem regulieren und das Gefühl von Zugehörigkeit stärken können. Konsensuelle Nähe unterstützt emotionale Stabilität und psychische Gesundheit. Diese Cuddle Puddle ist für alle Geschlechter innerhalb der LGBTQIA+ Community geöffnet. Ein nicht-geschlechtergetrennter Raum ermöglicht vielfältige Begegnungen jenseits von Rollenbildern und Erwartungen. So entsteht ein Feld für mehr Empathie, gegenseitiges Verständnis und authentische Verbindung, immer auf Basis von Wahlfreiheit, klaren Grenzen und gegenseitigem Respekt **Was ist Regenerative Berührung?** Regenerative Touch ist ein monatlicher Workshop für Queer People, bei dem wir uns gegenseitig helfen, langsamer zu werden, in unseren Körper zu kommen und in einer unterstützenden und nährenden Umgebung die wohltuende Wirkung von regenerativer Berührung erkunden. Berührung, die im täglichen Leben oft übersehen wird, ist ein grundlegendes menschliches Bedürfnis. In diesen Workshops schaffen wir einen Raum, der ausschließlich ihrer regenerativen und heilenden Kraft gewidmet ist, frei von romantischen oder sexuellen Konnotationen. Berührung kommuniziert direkt und erreicht Orte, die Worte nicht erreichen können. Hast du jemals die beruhigende Wirkung einer warmen Umarmung oder einer tröstenden Hand auf deiner Schulter erlebt? Selbst ein kurzes 15-minütiges Handhalten kann zu einer signifikanten Senkung der Herzfrequenz und des Blutdrucks führen und eine starke Entspannungsreaktion signalisieren. Eine einfache 20-sekündige Umarmung kann zu höheren Oxytocinspiegeln führen, dem Hormon, das mit Bindung und Vertrauen verbunden ist. Jeden Monat wird unser trauma-sensitiver Moderator den Abend um Themen wie Präsenz, Regulierung des Nervensystems und emotionale Sicherheit gestalten und sich auf praktisches Erleben anstatt auf zu viele Worte oder Techniken konzentrieren. Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse in Körperarbeit erforderlich – bring einfach deine Neugier mit. **Vorteile** – Erfahre eine Verringerung von Angstzuständen und Depressionen sowie eine erhöhte emotionale Widerstandsfähigkeit durch beruhigende, achtsame Berührung. – Kultiviere wertschätzende Anwesenheit und tiefere Verbindungen zu dir selbst und anderen. – Unterstütze die Heilung von Traumata und setze in einer sicheren, nährenden Umgebung Emotionen frei. – Verbessere deine Stimmung und deine Immunfunktion, indem du Stress reduzierst und Endorphine freisetzt. – Fördere ein Gefühl von Gemeinschaft und Zugehörigkeit durch gemeinsame, nonverbale Erfahrungen. – Ermutige tieferes Mitgefühl und Akzeptanz durch sanften, unterstützenden Kontakt.

Come join us for a gentle yet powerful Seitai group practice — a space where silence, breath, and spontaneous movement meet. This is a donation-based event, so you’re free to contribute what feels right (from 0€ to (your choice)€). ✨ What is Seitai? Seitai (整体) is a Japanese practice that helps you reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence. Through subtle awareness and guided techniques, you’ll be invited to: Listen deeply to your body through Yuki (a meditative, hands-on practice of sensing and following the breath). Release hidden tension with Katsugen — allowing involuntary, spontaneous movements to arise naturally. Find balance in stillness and movement, letting your body recalibrate itself in surprising ways. Seitai is not about control or forcing; it’s about giving voice to the movements your body has been waiting to express. Sometimes this brings ease, clarity, and lightness. Sometimes it stirs up dizziness, discomfort, or emotions. Every experience is valid — and you are always free to pause or leave at any time. 🌌 Why join? Discover a practice that many find deeply transformative. Create space for release, renewal, and vitality. Explore in community, whether you’re a curious first-timer or already familiar with Seitai. 👕 Practical details Wear comfortable clothes and bring a towel and water to stay hydrated. Bring openness and curiosity. Watchers are welcome — you can simply observe, or dive into active practice. The session is guided, but the real teacher is your own body. ✨ Learn more: 🎥 Watch a short video: https://youtu.be/KF7agFE1zss?si=6UhmjwaIAfBo-_Op 📖 Read more about Seitai: https://seitaibarcelona.com/what-is-seitai/ Everyone is welcome, whether you are completely new or already familiar with Seitai.

Dies ist eine Veranstaltung auf Spendenbasis, du kannst also frei beisteuern, was sich für dich richtig anfühlt (von 0€ bis (deine Wahl)€). ✨ Was ist Seitai? Seitai (整体) ist eine japanische Praxis, die dir hilft, dich wieder mit der angeborenen Intelligenz deines Körpers zu verbinden. Durch subtile Achtsamkeit und angeleitete Techniken bist du eingeladen: \*Tief auf deinen Körper zu hören durch Yuki (eine meditative, praktische Übung des Erspürens und Folgens des Atems). * Verborgene Spannungen mit Katsugen zu lösen – indem du unwillkürlichen, spontanen Bewegungen erlaubst, ganz natürlich zu entstehen. \*Balance in Stille und Bewegung zu finden, während sich dein Körper auf überraschende Weise selbst neu ausrichtet. Bei Seitai geht es nicht um Kontrolle oder Zwang; es geht darum, den Bewegungen eine Stimme zu geben, auf deren Ausdruck dein Körper gewartet hat. Manchmal bringt dies Leichtigkeit, Klarheit und Entspannung. Manchmal wirbelt es Schwindel, Unbehagen oder Emotionen auf. Jede Erfahrung ist gültig – und es steht dir jederzeit frei, eine Pause zu machen oder zu gehen. 🌌 Warum teilnehmen? * Entdecke eine Praxis, die viele als tief transformierend empfinden. \*Schaffe Raum für Loslassen, Erneuerung und Vitalität. * Erkunde die Praxis in der Gemeinschaft, egal ob du neugieriger Anfänger bist oder bereits Erfahrung mit Seitai hast. 👕 Praktische Details \*Trage bequeme Kleidung und bringe ein Handtuch sowie Wasser mit, um hydriert zu bleiben. * Bringe Offenheit und Neugier mit. \*Zuschauer sind willkommen – du kannst einfach nur beobachten oder direkt in die aktive Praxis eintauchen. * Die Sitzung wird angeleitet, aber der wahre Lehrer ist dein eigener Körper. ✨ Mehr erfahren: 🎥 Schau dir ein kurzes Video an: https://youtu.be/KF7agFE1zss?si=6UhmjwaIAfBo-_Op In diesem Video [00:16] wird Seitai als eine japanische Kulturform beschrieben, die den Organismus wieder in Ordnung bringt („Seitai“ bedeutet „Körper in Ordnung“). Es basiert auf der Beobachtung der natürlichen Lebensenergie und nutzt Bewegungen wie Katsugen Undo [00:32], um die Vitalität zu fördern. 📖 Lies mehr über Seitai: https://seitaibarcelona.com/what-is-seitai/ Jeder ist willkommen, egal ob du völlig neu bist oder Seitai bereits kennst. Bringe bequeme Kleidung und einen offenen Geist mit. 💰 Diese Veranstaltung basiert auf Spenden, um den Raum zu unterstützen und es uns zu ermöglichen, dieses Angebot weiterhin aufrechtzuerhalten.

[Tickets](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/911-birds-and-the-bees-tickets-1991470175905?) 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?)

Meet like-minded people, get authentic meditation instructions and hang out in our beautiful Buddhist meditation center in the west of Berlin! The practice of meditation is a simple, yet profound practice that helps us to connect with ourselves and gives us tools to release experiences of distraction, agitation, and stress. In the Buddhist tradition, meditation is more than just a way to end the mind´s distraction - it is what helps us to bring our mind home to its true nature. What better way to experience the colourful facets of meditation than with a group of like-minded people? Hence our open meditation sessions always have a social element as well - we like to have a tea and share about our meditation experiences, or whatever else we want to explore.

**😋 Desire and Addiction 😋** “*People are always asking me how they can give up anger, but no one has yet asked me how to give up desire.*” (Tenzin Palmo) **Desire, craving and the like as well as how to overcome them or deal with them skillfully have been a huge topic in most ancient spiritual traditions. Addiction is connected with the mechanism of attention (besides its connection with dopamine and certain areas of the brain). Is there an addiction that is not attention-based? Moreover, Desire and Addiction relate to concepts such as Karma, Polarity, Oneness, Bliss, Evolution and much more.** **Let’s share for an afternoon about what desire and addiction is, how it comes up in our life and in spiritual practice and what kind of skillful ways to deal with it we may have.** *"He who wishes to preserve virtue, wealth, and love in this world and the next must [...] master his senses."* (Kama Sutra) 💫 **What this event offers for you:** - Guided Meditations for arriving, calming the mind and tuning into your intuition - Meeting people interested in spirituality (all levels) - Safe Space for sharing - non-hierarchical and non-judgemental - Opportunity to ask just about any question **👀 You may watch one or few of the following Videos for inspiration:** - Anna Lembke about Dopamine on the Huberman Podcast (2 hours): [https://youtu.be/p3JLaF_4Tz8?si=wMqz483pqhzV5T1T](https://youtu.be/p3JLaF_4Tz8?si=wMqz483pqhzV5T1T) - Anna Lembke about Dopamine on the Huberman Podcast (30 minutes summary): [https://youtu.be/i4gvIeA3RcI?si=Kq2JHZ_K2Ux2jGvD](https://youtu.be/i4gvIeA3RcI?si=Kq2JHZ_K2Ux2jGvD) - Sadhguru on Desire: [https://youtu.be/uoIXz3KcwME?si=OXbrU7c6z9AjzHPB](https://youtu.be/uoIXz3KcwME?si=OXbrU7c6z9AjzHPB) - J.

There is a big problem with that: we have not accepted our world thoroughly, properly, and fully.*" (Chögyam Trungpa)

Dear Book Enthusiasts, For our June gathering, we’ll be reading ***The Summer Book*** by the Finnish writer **Tove Jansson**. First published in 1972, this quiet and deeply moving novel follows the relationship between a young girl and her grandmother as they spend a summer together on a small island in the Gulf of Finland. Through brief, luminous episodes, Jansson explores childhood, aging, nature, solitude, and the subtle bonds between generations with warmth, humor, and extraordinary sensitivity. Gentle yet profound, *The Summer Book* is a celebration of life’s small moments and the beauty of human connection. **📅 Date & Time: Sunday, 14.06.2026 at 15:00** **📍 Location: Audrey coffee, Holzendorffstraße 18, 14057 Berlin** **💬 Fee: As always, a 3 € contribution after the meeting helps cover organization costs** As I mentioned in earlier announcements, due to personal reasons I will not be able to attend a few upcoming meetings. Three lovely friends of mine — Miry, Kat, and Cristina — who also happen to be regulars in our book club, kindly agreed to moderate and host this gathering during my absence. I truly hope you’ll join me in giving them a very warm welcome and your support. I’m very much looking forward to hearing all about your discussion and to gathering together again soon. Warmly, Sofya

**Naked Yoga for Men\*** with ***Merdan Akbayir*** **[Book a Ticket](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/naked-yoga/w29-2026-2/)** **Member: 10 €** **Regular: 25 €** In this nude yoga class we will explore our own fragility and vulnerability, free from disguise and in a safe environment. What do I feel like when I'm not wearing clothing? How long does it take for me to get used to being the way nature had made me? Naked yoga dates back to a few thousand years ago. It was a spiritual tradition where nothing, not even a loincloth should be between you and your divine nature - a form of ultimate renunciation of worldly matters. There will be no particular focus on eroticism or sexuality. All parts and aspects of our bodies are equally acknowledged as being part of our lives. **General Information** **Language**: This event will be in English. **Cost**: This event is also available at a reduced member price – but not part of the two-free-monthly-events benefit. **Material**: Please bring a towel to cover the yoga mat, yoga block, or cushion. 🔵 **[Nackt-Yoga für Männer*](https://wearevillage.org/shop/naked-yoga/w24-2026)** mit ***Merdan Akbayir*** In dieser Nackt-Yogastunde werden wir unsere eigene Zerbrechlichkeit und Verletzlichkeit erforschen, frei von Bekleidung und in einer sicheren Umgebung. Wie fühle ich mich, wenn ich keine Kleidung trage? Wie lange dauert es, bis ich mich daran gewöhnt habe, so zu sein, wie die Natur mich geschaffen hat? Nacktes Yoga geht auf eine Tradition zurück, die einige tausend Jahre alt ist und bei der nichts, nicht einmal ein Lendenschurz, zwischen dir und deiner göttlichen Natur stehen sollte - eine Form der ultimativen Entsagung von weltlichen Dingen. Erotik und Sexualität stehen dabei nicht im Vordergrund. Alle Teile und Aspekte unseres Körpers werden gleichermaßen als Teil unseres Lebens betrachtet. **Hinweise** **Sprache**: Dieses Event wird auf Englisch sein. **Kosten**: Dieses Event ist auch zu einem ermäßigten Mitgliederpreis erhältlich – aber kein Bestandteil der zwei kostenlosen monatlichen Mitgliederveranstaltungen. **Material**: Bitte bring ein Handtuch mit, um die Yogamatte, den Yogablock oder das Kissen abzudecken.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B What does it mean to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world? In this gathering, we'll continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount from a mystical perspective. Together we’ll explore Matthew 5:13–16, looking not only to the passage as moral instruction, but also to the deeper transformation of consciousness that Jesus invites. Together we'll reflect on how spiritual awakening changes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.
