We will have a variety of crafting supplies available including paint, yarn, crochet needles, beads, coloring books, origami paper, markers...

Join our welcoming **life drawing** session where participants are invited to both draw and model. A relaxed and respectful space for **creative exploration**. The **Cozy Session** is our most intimate format. We are fewer people (max. 10) and take a bit more time for everything. The atmosphere is calmer and we have even more focus on **presence, observation** and **connection**. All our events are **queer-friendly** and have a personal and inviting feel to them. Also we're very **beginner-friendly**: Whether you’re experienced or just curious to try life drawing for the first time — you are welcome. Generally participation in modeling is always **voluntary**, but in this format – since we're fewer people – It's more the idea **that everybody will have** the chance to pose. If you feel more insecure about this, maybe our other sessions are better for a start. **\>\> What to expect** • alternating drawing and modelling • short and medium poses (up to 15 min) • a warm, respectful group atmosphere **\>\> What to bring** • your drawing materials (we provide a basic range of high quality artist materials) • Something small to drink or snack on, though we‘ll have some snacks • your time (Please be punctual because we want to start all together) **\>\> Tickets** Our prices range from **16€ to 26€**, depending on your financial possibilities. Please book your ticket here on **[Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1985134012269?aff=oddtdtcreator).** You can also click **RSVP here on Meetup** to let the group know you’re coming. We look forward to drawing with you!

We start at 18:15, if you come later it gets difficult to bring you in, because then you'll skip the warmup and intro. Feel: 3-5 Eur range As an exchange for our effor and to cover meetup annual subscription. come! it'lbe good 🖤 What is Playback? - Real stories shared from real people spontaneously recreated on stage.

But for the most part, you're here for FUN!

for **LGBTQIA+** **[free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/buddyprogram-meetup/w16-2026/)** Welcome to our second “we are village” Buddy Program event. Buddy Program is a community project that helps queer people in Berlin find a supportive community to navigate the city, discover hidden gems, and build genuine friendships. At this welcome event, we will introduce our Buddy Program and we will provide you with an opportunity to meet other queer people who share your interests and passions. We will have some fun games and provide room for genuine connections to form. **More about the program** The Buddy Program was created for queer people living in Berlin. Whether you’re new to Berlin or a long-time local who loves sharing your city. Or if you’re already settled but you’d like to “step up” your relationships and engage on a deeper level. The Buddy Program values deep connections, meaningful conversations, and community care. By combining in-person meetups, online interaction through the **we are village** app, and interest-based matching, the program creates a space for mutual support, deeper connection, and a sense of solidarity. **I’m not a new arrival to Berlin but I’d love to share my tips and tricks about Berlin!** Everyone, regardless of their experience, is welcome. Our first goal is to connect people. **General information** Language: This event will be in German and/or English depending on participant needs. **Cost**: This event is free of charge. 🔵 **[kostenlos mit Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/buddyprogram-meetup/w16-2026/)** Willkommen zu unserem zweiten „we are village“ Buddy-Programm-Event. Wir werden einige lustige Spiele spielen und Raum für echte Verbindungen schaffen. **Mehr über das Programm** Das Buddy-Programm wurde für queere Menschen in Berlin ins Leben gerufen. Egal, ob du neu in Berlin bist oder schon lange hier lebst und deine Stadt gerne mit anderen teilst. Oder vielleicht bist du bereits angekommen, möchtest aber deine Beziehungen vertiefen. Das Buddy-Programm schätzt tiefe Verbindungen, bedeutungsvolle Gespräche und Gemeinschaftspflege. Durch eine Kombination aus persönlichen Treffen, Online-Interaktion über die we are village App und interessenbasiertem Matching schafft das Programm einen Raum für gegenseitige Unterstützung, tiefere Verbindungen und ein Gefühl der Solidarität. Ich bin zwar kein Neuankömmling in Berlin, aber ich würde gerne meine Tipps und Tricks über Berlin teilen! Jeder, unabhängig von seiner Erfahrung, ist willkommen. Unser erstes Ziel ist es, Menschen zu verbinden. **Hinweise** **Sprache**: Dieses Event wird je nach Teilnehmerbedürfnissen auf Englisch und/oder Deutsch sein. **Kosten**: Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos.

* *For English, please see below* Der Philosophische Stammtisch ist für alle, die gerne über das Leben philosophieren wollen ohne dabei zu verbissen den Fragen auf den Grund zu gehen. Wir wollen gemeinsam zu neuen Einsichten kommen und einen Raum schaffen für Menschen, die sich auf tieferer Ebene austauschen wollen. Die Fragen können von tiefen metaphysischen Fragen bis zu praktischen Lebensfragen reichen. Diese Veranstaltung soll gerade auch die ansprechen, die sich über solche Fragen Gedanken machen und sich austauschen wollen. Das hier ist kein politischer Diskurs. **Das Thema für diesen Abend** Wird bald bekannt gegeben. **For our English speaking members** We will have one table where the discussion is in English and you are welcome to join :) **Topic** Will be soon announced.

***Dieses Meetup richtet sich diesmal ausschließlich an Frauen*.\*** Dating, Beziehungen und Sexualität fühlen sich mit ADHS oft intensiver, verwirrender und herausfordernder an. Manchmal aber auch überraschend bereichernd. Trotzdem gibt es erstaunlich wenig Räume, in denen darüber offen und wertfrei gesprochen werden kann. Deshalb möchte ich einen moderierten Raum für Frauen\ \*mit ADHS zu diesen Themen öffnen. Ein Raum, in dem unterschiedliche Erfahrungen und Perspektiven Platz haben und ein Austausch auf Augenhöhe möglich ist. Mit kurzen Impulsen, Gesprächen und kleinen Reflexionsübungen schauen wir gemeinsam darauf, wie ADHS unser Datingverhalten und unsere Beziehungen prägen kann. Wir sprechen darüber, welche Dynamiken und Muster dabei entstehen können und wie sich ADHS auch auf körperliche Intimität auswirken kann. Gleichzeitig wird es auch um die Frage gehen, welche bereichernden Seiten ADHS an dieser Stelle mit sich bringen kann. **Der Rahmen des Abends** \*Jede Teilnehmerin\ \*entscheidet selbst, ob und wie sie sich einbringen & was sie teilen möchte. \*Es geht nicht um Therapie oder „richtige“ Antworten, sondern um Austausch, * unterschiedliche Perspektiven und ein besseres Verständnis für das eigene Erleben. \*Die Gruppe ist bewusst klein gehalten (Anzahl der Teilnehmenden 8). * Sie richtet sich an Frauen\* mit ADHS. Eine Diagnose ist nicht notwendig. **Kurz zu mir** Ich bin psychologische Beraterin mit dem Schwerpunkt Sexualität und Beziehung und habe selbst ADHS. Mein Interesse an diesen Themen ist sowohl durch meine eigene Erfahrung als auch durch meine Arbeit geprägt. [mindingpleasure.de](https://www.mindingpleasure.de/) **Teilnahme** Da die Anzahl der Teilnehmenden begrenzt ist , melde dich bitte nur an, wenn du wirklich teilnehmen möchtest. Solltest du kurzfristig verhindert sein, melde dich bitte wieder ab, damit jemand anderes den Platz nutzen kann. 💶\*\* Wertschätzungsbeitrag\*\* Um die Kosten für Raummiete und Meetup zu decken, bitte ich um eine kleine Spende nach persönlichen Möglichkeiten. Empfehlung: 5 bis 15 Euro.

Der politische Diskurs ist für alle diejenigen, die politische und gesellschaftliche Themen verfolgen und sich gerne darüber austauschen wollen.

The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please try to be on time so we can all get started together :) We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German. The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other.
