If you are navigating life with both being a person of color and being neurodivergent—this sharing circle is for you. **Details** 📅 Wednesday, 8th of April 2026 🕕 18:30 - 20:30 📍 Meeting Room in BIW\*oC Rising https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y6wTvMXV4rCUkgzP8 🎟️ Free but a donation for the space is highly appreciated. **Community disclaimer:** This circle is organized entirely by neurodivergent volunteers who contribute their time, energy, and resources to create this space. They deserve patience and kindness. **What happens here** * We gather. We share. We listen. * Stimming, fidgeting, moving around, stepping out for a break, is always welcome. * For this first event, we will try to open with a round of introductions. If you feel called to, you can share three words that represent your neurodivergent and BIPOC life. * There is no pressure to share if you can't think of any or would rather just pass. * After we hear the words, we can see what themes emerge and let the conversation flow from there. * The format of this event can be changed and discussed the further we go with this sharing circle. **This space is for you if:** * You're a person of color—Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, mixed-race, or any marginalized racial or ethnic identity. * You're neurodivergent—diagnosed, self-identified, questioning, or just know your brain works differently: ADHD, autistic, dyslexic, AuDHD, or any other neurotype. **Community Agreements** * **This is a space to heal, not to harm.** Experiencing racism is painful and real. That pain is welcome here. However, this is not a space to express sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, colorist, or any other discriminatory attitudes toward any person or group—regardless of their identity. We all carry wounds. But those wounds do not give us permission to wound others. * **Confidentiality:** What is shared in the circle stays in the circle. This helps us build trust. * **No Fixing:** This is a space for sharing experiences, not for giving unsolicited advice, diagnosing others, or trying to "fix" someone. We are here to witness and support, not to problem-solve. * **Content Warnings:** If you plan to share something that involves heavy topics like trauma, self-harm, or graphic discrimination, please give a brief warning before you start (e.g., "I'd like to share something about a difficult experience..."). This allows others to gently step out or prepare themselves. * **Respect the Space:** Please be mindful and respectful of the venue that hosts us. **About the Space Hosting Us** "BIWOC\* Rising is a Berlin-based intersectional organization for Black, Indigenous, and Women\* of Color, as well as trans, intersex, and non-binary people of color. It provides a safer workspace, socal club, networking opportunities, and its current project, EquiNet, which offers workshops and events to support members’ social, professional, and economic empowerment.

**Gesunde Snacks für Kinder – einfach & alltagstauglich** *Familien-Kochworkshop mit kurzem Vortrag* Viele Snacks für Kinder sind entweder zu süß, zu stark verarbeitet – oder einfach nicht wirklich sättigend. In diesem Workshop zeige ich, wie gesunde Snacks im Alltag wirklich funktionieren: einfach, schnell und so, dass Kinder sie gerne essen. Wir starten mit einem kurzen, praxisnahen Impuls für Eltern: → Was macht einen Snack wirklich ausgewogen? → Worauf kommt es im Alltag an (ohne komplizierte Regeln)? Anschließend gehen wir direkt in die Praxis und bereiten gemeinsam drei einfache Snacks zu, die sich gut in den Familienalltag integrieren lassen. Der Workshop ist bewusst niedrigschwellig gehalten – es geht nicht um Perfektion, sondern um umsetzbare Lösungen. **Für wen geeignet** Für Eltern, Großeltern und Familien mit Kindern – besonders für alle, die gesunde Ernährung entspannt in ihren Alltag integrieren möchten. **Organisatorisches** Mittwoch, 8. April 2026 14:30 – 16:00 Uhr Familienzentrum Die Brücke Gensinger Straße 58, 10315 Berlin **Wichtiger Hinweis zur Anmeldung** Die Teilnahme ist **nur nach vorheriger Anmeldung per E-Mail** möglich. 👉 Bitte melde dich verbindlich an unter: **bruecke@kinderdorf-berlin.de** Erst nach Bestätigung durch das Familienzentrum ist dein Platz gesichert.

Feature Afternoon: Filmscreening & Networking for Filmmakers. TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE (7€): https://kino-central.de/film/indiegold-mommyidontwantto/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio THE MOVIE: MOMMY I DON’T WANT TO is a gripping psychological thriller inspired by true events, transporting audiences into the shadows of 1970s California — brought to life on location across Greater Manchester and Lancashire, with studio scenes filmed in Dubai. The film builds a tense, atmospheric portrait of fear, survival, and the enduring bonds between a mother and child facing unimaginable threat. Adapted from Chris Friedman’s acclaimed novel of the same name, the story is entirely fictional — all characters and names are works of imagination. With meticulous period detail, the production recreates the atmosphere of 1970s American suburbia through the rich historical architecture of Northern England, a creative choice that allowed the filmmakers to achieve remarkable authenticity without extensive post-production or green screen work. The film explores themes of maternal instinct, institutional failure, and the psychological aftermath of living under the shadow of a serial predator. It is a story that resonates far beyond its historical setting — a timeless examination of how communities fracture under the weight of fear, and how individuals find courage in the most impossible of circumstances. IndieGold: IndieGold is a Film-Festival (we show feature Films once a month) organized by local Filmmakers from Berlin. We run the Company Seceda Studios and we deeply want to support the Indie Filmscene in Germany. :) After the Movie we go to a local Park (or in case of bad weather another location) so you have the chance to network with local filmmakers. See you there!

Join the First Circle of Moms in Berlin & Brandenburg here 💛; linktr.ee/supermom_inc Motherhood can be beautiful and fulfilling… and also incredibly demanding. This meetup is a small, relaxed space for moms to connect, share experiences, and support one another without pressure or expectations. Whether you’re looking to meet other moms nearby, have meaningful conversations, exchange ideas, or simply take a break and be around people who understand this stage of life, you’re very welcome. There’s no formal agenda, just real conversations and a chance to build genuine connections. Because we want to keep the atmosphere personal and comfortable, the group will be intentionally small. If you’re interested, feel free to join us; we’d love to meet you. Feel free to bring your child if that makes it easier for you.

At Unity of Columbus, our Youth and Family Ministry nurtures the spiritual growth of children and families through love, joy, and practical spiritual teachings. Each Sunday, children explore timeless spiritual principles through stories, creative activities, music, and group sharing in a safe and welcoming environment. Our program encourages children to discover their own inner light, express kindness, and develop a personal connection with God. Together, we celebrate diversity, cultivate understanding, and inspire each child to live with purpose and compassion. Parents and families are invited to join in this uplifting journey of learning, laughter, and spiritual connection.

This event is 2:30 - 4 pm Sunday. Conversation tends toward intermediate/advanced, but everybody is welcome. If you come and don't see us right away, keep looking. We could be anywhere in the restaurant.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
