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. The organization aims to build community, challenge systemic discrimination, and strengthen opportunities for marginalized groups through inclusive spaces." **Learn more about BIWOC\* Rising**: https://biwoc-rising.org/ **We can't wait to share space with you.**

**Instinct \#20 \| Panel Discussion** with ***Joshua Amissah, Antke Antek Engel, Jan Großer, Mati Klitgård***, and ***Eric Le Rouge,*** moderated by ***Neo Seefried***. for **LGBTQIA+** Free event Our **panel discussion** explores why conflict can be so difficult to navigate within queer spaces—and how the desire for harmony, practices of care, and political expectations shape these dynamics. For this conversation we invite Joshua Amissah, writer and curator focusing on Black queer perspectives; Antke Antek Engel, philosopher and director of the Institute for Queer Theory in Berlin; Jan  Großer, psychiatrist and psychotherapist; Mati Klitgård, facilitator and founder of the Gay Consent.Lab; and Eric Le Rouge, director of Instinct Art and co-founder of we are village. The discussion will be moderated by Neo Seefried, facilitator of the workshop series *Radical Empathy – Queer Storytelling for Connection* and co‑curator of *Instinct Art*. Between the need for safety and the demand for visibility, we ask what queer identity means today: lived experience, political project—or both at once? **About Instinct** Instinct.berlin is an arts organization that presents exhibitions with queer artists twice a year at the Village, a community center for queer people in Berlin. These exhibitions, along with performances and talks, encourage interaction between artists and the local community. The residency program allows artists to engage intensively with the vibrant atmosphere of the Village and build a bridge between their work and the wider queer community. This collaboration enriches the cultural dialog and supports the development of queer art projects, benefiting both the artists and the community at large.

Moderiert wird die Diskussion von Neo Seefried, Facilitator der Workshop‑Reihe *Radical Empathy – Queer Storytelling for Connection* und Co‑Kurator\*in von *Instinct Art*. Zwischen dem Bedürfnis nach Sicherheit und der Forderung nach Sichtbarkeit stellen wir die Frage, was queere Identität heute bedeutet: gelebte Erfahrung, politisches Projekt – oder beides zugleich? **Über Instinct** Instinct.berlin ist eine Kunstorganisation, die zweimal jährlich Ausstellungen mit queeren Künstler:innen im Village, einem Community Center für queere Menschen in Berlin, präsentiert. Diese Ausstellungen, zusammen mit Performances und Gesprächen, fördern die Interaktion zwischen Künstler:innen und der lokalen Community.

R. bereits ab 8:30 Uhr da, um vorab schonmal ein bisschen durchzustarten mit dem Netzwerken :)...

Die Teilnahme ist generell kostenlos und **nicht** an eine Mitgliedschaft gebunden. **Bitte beachten:** Unternehmer mit Multi-Level Marketing-Geschäftsmodellen schließen wir von unseren Veranstaltungen komplett aus, da wir hier die Erfahrung machen mussten, dass es dabei oft nur ums Verkaufen geht, und meistens kein echtes Interesse am Netzwerken und am Gegenüber existiert. **Weiterhin** stehen wir deshalb auch allen Arten des Provisionsgeschäfts (Finanzoptimierer, Immobilienmakler, Versicherungsvertreter, etc.) extrem kritisch gegenüber und gestatten diesen keine Teilnahme an unseren Events.

**Instinct #20** \| Workshop with ***Lo Höckner*** for **LGBTQIA+** Free with **[registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/village-instinct-workshop/w15-2026)** **Beyond Overwhelm** is a somatic, collective workshop that links embodied practice to social change. Together, participants explore how capitalist working cultures shape our nervous systems toward chronic overwhelm and isolation—and how we can cultivate embodied resistance. **Beyond Overwhelm** relates to embodied learning circles with clear links to social change, aiming to practice together and empower their members to gain agency and take action. This workshop deliberately addresses the body and practicing together as a collective political practice, accessing the collective wisdom of a group. In this workshop, we are going to explore how working cultures under capitalism are creating a sense of overwhelm in our nervous systems, and furthermore, how we can cultivate embodied resistance. The session offers tools for coming out of overwhelm as a foundation for building relational strategies and counteracting individualization; exploring why this is necessary for political agency while refraiming activism. Through body-based practices, collective inquiry and imagination, this workshop gives space to explore the participant’s lived environment and how practices of connection, care and existing otherwise could be brought into it 🔵 **Beyond Overwhelm** ist ein somatischer, kollektiver Workshop, der verkörperte Praxis mit sozialem Wandel verbindet. Gemeinsam erkunden die Teilnehmenden, wie kapitalistische Arbeitskulturen unsere Nervensysteme in Richtung chronischer Überforderung und Isolation prägen – und wie wir verkörperten Widerstand kultivieren können. **Beyond Overwhelm** ist ein somatischer, kollektiver Workshop, der Körperarbeit mit sozialem Wandel verbindet. Wir üben gemeinsam, um wieder mehr Ruhe, Klarheit und Handlungsspielraum zu gewinnen – als Basis, um gemeinsam statt allein mit Druck und Stress umzugehen. Im Workshop schauen wir darauf, wie kapitalistische Arbeitskulturen Überforderung und Daueranspannung fördern – und was uns hilft, dem etwas entgegenzusetzen. Du bekommst praktische Tools, um aus dem Overwhelm rauszukommen, in Kontakt zu bleiben und Vereinzelung zu durchbrechen. Wir sprechen auch darüber, warum das für langfristiges Engagement und politische Handlungsfähigkeit wichtig ist. Mit körperbasierten Übungen, Austausch und einfachen Reflexionsformaten übertragen wir das auf deinen Alltag: Was bringt dich aus dem Gleichgewicht – und was stärkt dich? Und wie können Verbindung, Fürsorge und gegenseitige Unterstützung darin mehr Platz bekommen?

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime. Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised (GFC website preferred)! Please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Showtimes and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

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.
