Indigo Crystal and Rainbow Children

Create the candle of your dreams in this premium scented candle workshop in Berlin, where creativity, sustainability, and craftsmanship come together. Hosted inside the Galleria Lucia Atelier, this immersive experience takes place in a historic artist building - a former factory now home to painters, designers, and makers. It's not a showroom or an office, but a real working candle atelier where so many candles come to life. During the workshop, you'll design a fully customized scented candle from start to finish. Choose your candle jar color, painted with sustainable, dishwasher-safe paints and designed to last up to 500 washes. Once your candle is finished, the glass can be reused as a drinking glass - making it both beautiful and responsible. Select from a curated range of premium fragrance oils, choose wax colors, finishes, and add natural crystals for a truly personal touch. You'll also create your own custom label, making each candle a one-of-a-kind piece. While you create, enjoy complimentary refreshments and learn expert tips on how to choose sustainable candles in the future and care for your candles so they burn cleaner and last longer. Surrounded by hundreds of candles and the authentic atmosphere of a Berlin candle atelier, this workshop offers a rare behind-the-scenes look into small-scale candle making - creative, intimate, and unforgettable. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

### **🌿 Watercolour Herbarium: A Sensory Workshop** Do you know which herbs boost memory? Which ones calm your body, support digestion, or help you sleep? Join us for a unique 4-day watercolour journey where art meets nature, observation, and everyday wisdom. **In this workshop, we will create our own illustrated herbarium — a personal catalogue of plants — while working directly from real, fresh herbs from my little balcony garden.** You’ll learn how to observe their shapes, textures, and colours, and translate them into delicate watercolour studies. But this is more than painting. Each day, we’ll explore a different selection of herbs like oregano, rosemary, mint, basil and more — learning how they grow, what they’re traditionally used for, and how they can support your body and wellbeing. **We’ll touch them, smell them, paint them… and even taste them in teas and infusions,** engaging all our senses to truly connect with each plant. ✨ What to expect: * Guided watercolour sessions (all levels welcome) * Real herbs to observe and paint from life * Gentle introduction to herbal knowledge & home remedies * A growing collection of your own illustrated herbarium * A calm, sensory, and inspiring atmosphere * Tips about how to grow these herbs at home during this spring By the end of the 4 days, you’ll leave not only with a beautiful series of paintings, but also with a deeper understanding of the plants around you — and how they can become part of your everyday rituals.

Tolle Berlinerinnen und Berliner, als ich schreibe, sitze ich im Wald zwischen Buchen und Eichen auf meinem Campingstuhl und genieße die Ruhe des Sonnenlichts. Suchst du nach Freiheit von dem Lärm der Szene, Lärm der Stadt? Möchtest du Brücken mit interkulturellen, diversen Leuten aufbauen? Dieses Jahr möchte ich unbedingt neue Leute, die Tiefe und Empathie haben kennenlernen. Diesen Leuten meine Zeit geben, und gegenseitige Freundschaften hoffentlich aufbauen. Selbst glaube ich, dass Mädels und Jungs einander nicht verstehen können, wenn der Sinn von einer Person 100% einer Geschlecht ist und die Person keines der Geschlecht gegenüber kennt. Idealerweise sollte der Sinn 50/50 weiblich/männlich sein, dass wir uns gegenseitig ideal verstehen können. Selbst bin ich Künstler, der sich für Farbphysik (Colour Phenomena) interessiert. Zum Beispiel ein roses Kirschbaum in der blauen morgen Stunde. Oder blaue Bäume im Licht eines bedeckten Sommer Tag, auch wenn jeder glaubt, dass man sachlich weiß, ‚Bäumen sind grün!‘ Colour sind, glaube ich, hauptsächlich weibliche Phänomene. Und als Künstler empfand ich seit langem eine Affinität für Colour. Das Bild oben ist ein Kunstwerk von mir. Ich möchte die ruhigen Leuten erreichen, also der Treff ist entweder Online, per Signal Messenger (Link zur Gruppe im Kommentar; nur für Teilnehmer der Veranstaltung sichtbar) um neue Verbindungen leicht zu machen, oder auch sogar besser persönlich, wenn du dich spontan unterwegs sein will und persönlich treffen will. Wenn du mich persönlich triffst setzen wir uns auf eine Wiese, eventuell in der Wuhlheide, oder auf dem Tempelhofer Feld. Schick mir eine Nachricht vorher per Signal Gruppe und wir können uns vereinbaren. Dieses merken: Bitte rauchen Sie bei dieser Veranstaltung nicht. Ich freue mich neue Leute kennenzulernen! Mit geschmackvollen Grüßen, Duncan

### Humanity: Dignity, Compassion, and Responsibility Humanity is one of the most basic concepts of human life. It refers not only to being biologically human, but also to a moral ideal: the ability to recognize others as dignified, vulnerable, and morally important beings. To speak about humanity is therefore to speak about compassion, respect, justice, responsibility, and human dignity. Historically, the meaning of humanity has changed over time. In early civilizations, ideas related to humanity were often connected to divine order, justice, social harmony, and the protection of the weak. In ancient Greek and Roman thought, humanity became linked to reason, virtue, education, law, and civic life. The Roman idea of *humanitas* especially connected humanity with culture, moral refinement, and responsibility toward others. Religious traditions also shaped the meaning of humanity. Many religions emphasize mercy, compassion, charity, humility, and care for the poor, the weak, and the stranger. In this sense, humanity was understood not only as a personal virtue, but also as a duty toward others and toward a higher moral order. In modern philosophy and politics, humanity became increasingly connected to universal dignity and human rights. The idea that every person deserves respect and protection, regardless of origin, religion, gender, class, or nationality, became central to modern ethical and political thought. Humanity therefore developed from a limited social or religious duty into a universal moral principle. However, the history of humanity is also a history of dehumanization. Slavery, colonialism, racism, war, genocide, and social exclusion show how people have often denied humanity to others. Dehumanization happens when human beings are treated as objects, threats, numbers, or tools. For this reason, humanity must also be understood as a critical concept against violence, humiliation, and exclusion. From a psychological perspective, humanity depends on empathy, compassion, moral judgment, and the ability to understand the suffering of others. From a sociological perspective, humanity is shaped by institutions, laws, education, culture, and social norms. From a biological perspective, it is connected to cooperation, care, attachment, and social bonding. Yet humanity cannot be reduced to biology alone; it also requires moral reflection and social responsibility. Today, humanity is challenged by war, poverty, migration, racism, technological change, artificial intelligence, and global inequality. Modern societies often reduce people to data, consumers, workers, or political categories. Therefore, the question of humanity remains urgent: how can dignity, compassion, and responsibility be preserved in a world shaped by power, technology, and crisis? This discussion invites a critical exploration of humanity as a moral, social, political, psychological, religious, and biological reality. Humanity is not only what human beings are; it is also what they owe to one another. *** 📅 Event Details 🗓️ Date: Sunday, 31 May 2026 ⏰ Time: 10:00 📍 Location: Tiergarten - Cafe am Neuen See Lichtensteinallee 2, 10787 Berlin · Berlin, de 📱 WhatsApp: For prep materials and directions (Group Chat) [Group Chat Bio](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H)

"Wer bin ich und wer bin ich mit dir? Wer bist du und was sehe ich in dir? Was könnte aus uns werden?" Ein empathischer Dialog. Grenzen wahrnehmen. Das Unbekannte erforschen. Alternative "Ich's" ausprobieren. Mit Neugier, mit Offenheit. Ein Raum für unsere Geschichten in Transformation. Dieser Schreib-Workshop bietet Frauen einen kreativen Rahmen, in dem wir uns in unserem verschieden und doch gemeinsam Sein zelebrieren und dabei gegenseitig ermutigen, im Handeln unser Potential zu entfalten. \*\*\* Ich bin: Joana (sie/ihr). Musikerin. Kulturwissenschaftlerin, mit literaturwissenschaftlichem Schwerpunkt. Seit Februar 2024 in Ausbildung als Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie. Durch diverse positive Erfahrungen als Teilnehmerin von (Schreib)kreisen für Frauen sowie mit großem Interesse besuchten Seminaren und Workshops offline und online, ist nun der Herzenswunsch entstanden, selbst auf lokaler Ebene - und in kreativer Gestalt - einen solchen Raum zu öffnen und leiten. Die amerikanische Sprecherin und Autorin Peggy Tabor Millin bringt meine eigenen Erlebnisse und Prozesse mit folgender Betrachtung auf den Punkt: "Wir müssen uns nicht selbst analysieren oder Erinnerungen hervorkramen oder an der Selbstverbesserung arbeiten. Wir müssen nur bereit sein zu lernen, wer wir sind und was die Tiefe unserer Seele wirklich ausdrücken will und muss. Während wir unser Schreiben in einem sicheren Kreis teilen, lernen wir, diesem Prozess und damit uns selbst zu vertrauen." \*\*\* Da die Plätze begrenzt sind, melde dich bitte an unter: transformativesschreiben@gmx.net \*\*\* Bitte mitbringen: \- Stift\(e\) und Papier oder eigenes Journal \- einen kleinen Gegenstand für den Kreis \(z\.B\. etwas aus der Natur oder von Bedeutung für dich in diesem Moment\) \- Warme Socken oder Hausschuhe \*\*\* Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis Dieser Schreib-Workshop bietet Frauen einen kreativen Rahmen, in dem wir uns in unserem verschieden und doch gemeinsam Sein zelebrieren und dabei gegenseitig ermutigen, im Handeln unser Potential zu entfalten.

Everything in the universe vibrates: from the whisper of a leaf to the pulse of the stars. Sound is the primordial heartbeat of creation, and music, its universal language. For humans, singing is not just a creative expression; it is a path to transcendence, a bridge between the mundane and the divine. The Voice, our most intimate and sacred instrument, resonates with ancestral echoes. Since time immemorial, it has been used in healing rituals, as a channel for spiritual connection, and a key to higher states of consciousness. When we sing with sacred intention, breath, mind, and heart merge into a harmonious flow that transports us to deep peace and a precious state of contemplation. Sacred singing opens an inner space of living silence, where vibration becomes a healing dance that harmonises our being. Schedule (draft) 6 pm Doors open. 6:15 Start. **Singing together.** 8:45 pm Sharing food & connection. Rearranging the room. 9:30 pm End Doors close at 6:15 and open briefly at \~6:45 and \~7:15, for late-comers. Times within the event are approximate. **DONATION** Standard at 20€ (both: 30€) Supporter 25-50€ / Supported 5-15€ or write to [yaya.yala.amor@gmail.com](mailto:yaya.yala.amor@gmail.com) Looking forward to seeing you there! :)

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.

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.
