Kreative Schreibwerkstatt in Charlottenburg (14:30 Uhr!)
Für Mitglieder von Text Collective Berlin ist die Teilnahme an dieser Veranstaltung kostenlos.
Nicht-Mitglieder werden um eine Spende von zehn Euro gebeten.
[https://textcollective.de/ticket](https://textcollective.de/ticket)
Es handelt sich um einen moderierten Workshop.
Kreative Schreibübung mit anschließender Diskussion zum Erfahrungsaustausch, Inspiration und Motivation zu sammeln. Ein Raum für alle, die kreativ schreiben möchten – egal ob du gerade erst anfängst oder schon länger schreibst.
**Jeden zweiten Samstag des Monats von 14:30 Uhr bis 16:30 Uhr in Charlottenburg (Haus am Mierendorffplatz).**
**Was dich erwartet:**
In unseren Treffen arbeiten wir mit abwechslungsreichen Schreibimpulsen, die neue Perspektiven eröffnen und spielerisches Experimentieren ermöglichen. Du schreibst direkt vor Ort, teilst deine Texte mit der Gruppe (freiwillig!) und erhältst konstruktives Feedback.
Die Atmosphäre ist offen und unterstützend. Hier darf ein Text noch unfertig sein, eine Idee noch roh, ein Gedanke noch unausgereift. In dieser Atmosphäre gegenseitiger Wertschätzung entsteht der Mut, sich auszuprobieren und die eigene Stimme zu entdecken. Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rückmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das Zuhören.
**Über Text Collective Berlin:**
Wir sind eine kreative Schreibcommunity, die regelmäßige Workshops und Lesungen organisiert. 2025 erschien unsere erste Anthologie "Begegnung zwischen Welten" mit Texten aus der Schreibwerkstatt.

Erlebe grundlose Freude mit Lachen
Erinnerst Du Dich noch an das unbeschwerte Glück
Deiner Kindheitstage?
Diese **grundlose Freude,** dieser Spaß am unbekümmerten Leben. Das trägst Du noch in Dir: **Dein inneres Kind.**
**„Ananda mit Lachen“** ist eine Einladung, wieder in Kontakt mit dieser Quelle von Freude, Lebendigkeit und Staunen zu kommen.
**„Ananda“** bedeutet grundlose Freude – ein Zustand, den kleine Kinder ganz natürlich kennen. Und auch in uns Erwachsenen kann diese Freude wieder erfahrbar werden.
**Viele Menschen erleben „Ananda mit Lachen“ als:**
* eine Einladung zu mehr Freude und Lebendigkeit
* eine neue Leichtigkeit im Umgang mit dem Alltag
* eine tiefere Verbindung zu sich selbst, anderen und dem Leben
* einen liebevollen Impuls für persönliches Wachstum
**Was Du mitbringen darfst:**
* Offenheit, das Lachen wiederzuentdecken
* Eine ungeöffnete Flasche stilles Wasser
Wir möchten wirklich jedem die Möglichkeit geben, den Zustand grundloser Freude zu erfahren… ob jung oder alt, reich oder arm..
Deshalb arbeiten wir bei unseren Aktivitäten mit einem freiwilligen Beitrag.

Achtsames Kuscheln für Frauen - Berlin Weißensee - 09.05.2026
Kuscheln für Frauen darf echt sein. Leicht. Tief. Bewegend.
Hier darf Frau kichern, Nähe spüren und Kraft tanken.
Es entsteht eine Verbindung, die nährt – achtsam, klar und wohltuend.
Kuscheln kann vieles sein: spielerisch, ruhig, tief, warm oder einfach nur entspannend. Finde heraus, was dir gut tut.
Wir – Ava & Melanie – begleiten dich durch deine Kuschelerfahrung in Berlin. Als ausgebildete Therapeutinnen mit einer tiefen Liebe für Körperarbeit, Verbindung und Präsenz schaffen wir Räume, in denen du dir selbst und anderen echt begegnen kannst – spielerisch, liebevoll, nährend.
Unsere Kuschelevents sind geprägt von Achtsamkeit, Klarheit und innerem Einvernehmen. Hier darf Frau lachen, kuscheln – und einfach sie selbst sein.
Wir glauben, dass Berührung ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis ist – kein Luxus. Deshalb gestalten wir Räume, in denen du dich entspannen, auftanken und dich frei entscheiden kannst, wie nah du wem sein möchtest. Kuscheln ist immer freiwillig, respektvoll und im Einklang mit den vereinbarten Regeln.
Unser Wunsch ist es, dir einen sicheren und achtsamen Raum zu eröffnen und zu halten, in dem du in respektvoller Atmosphäre Nähe, Berührung und Entspannung erleben kannst – ganz ohne Leistungsdruck oder sexuelle Absicht. Lachen, Weinen und Stille sind hier gleichermaßen willkommen.
**ABLAUF**
Wir starten mit einem gemeinsamen Ankommen, leiten dich durch Übungen zur Wahrnehmung und zur Einvernehmlichkeit von Berührung, bevor wir in die freie Kuschelzeit übergehen – je nach Wunsch in Gruppen, zu zweit oder in Ruhe für dich allein.

Philosophy talk - Treptower Park
Philosophy Discussion Meetup – Exploring Life’s Big Questions Through Books
Join us for an open and friendly philosophy meetup where we explore life’s deepest questions through thoughtful conversation, shared reading, and discussion.
Each participant is welcome to bring a book they are currently reading and share interesting ideas or questions from it. One of our main reference books is Sophie's World, which we often use as a starting point for discussion.
🗓 What to Expect
Each meeting follows a relaxed and engaging format:
Welcome & Introductions (10 minutes)
Brief introductions and sharing what everyone is reading.
Book & Topic Sharing (20 minutes)
Participants present a short passage, idea, or question from their book.
Group Discussion (45–60 minutes)
Open discussion based on the shared material, often inspired by Sophie's World and related philosophical themes.
Wrap-Up & Social Time (15 minutes)
Final reflections and informal conversation.
No prior philosophy background is required—curiosity and openness are enough.
🎒 What to Bring
Please bring:
A book you are currently reading (optional but encouraged)
One or two questions or ideas from your book
A notebook and pen (optional)
If you don’t have a book, you are still very welcome to join and participate.
📍 How to Find Us
We meet at:
Milchkaffee
Kirchstraße 5, 12555, · Berlin, DE
Look for a group with books and notebooks on the table
Please arrive at least at max 15 min late. The Café will take the empty seats of our table after that. So if you arrive after that, you might not have a place to sit.
🤝 Group Values
Respectful and open discussion
No judging or “winning” arguments
Everyone gets a chance to speak
Different viewpoints are welcome
Curiosity over certainty
Whether you are new to philosophy or a long-time reader, this group offers a supportive space to think together and learn from one another.
We look forward to reading, questioning, and reflecting with you.
I WRITE – A Silent Writing Club (Just You & Your Words)
Welcome to **I WRITE**, a gentle space for anyone who wants to write—quietly, freely, and without judgement.
We are a Berlin community of writers who gather together weekly to write, talk and recharge after a long week. Some of us journal, some write novels, some do academic writing, many people come without a project in mind and see where the inspiration flow takes them. This is a space to simply show up and write, a safe place to be yourself and to release all your layers onto the paper.
There’s no set topic, no feedback circle, and no pressure. Just warm people, a calm atmosphere, and time dedicated to yourself.
🗓️ **Agenda:**
* 14:30 - 15:00 **→** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers)
* 15:00 - 16:00 **→** 1 hour of silent writing (headphones welcome, focus encouraged)
* 16:00–16:30 **→** 30 mins break + optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your Saturday)
* 16:30–17:30 → 1 more hour of silent writing (for those staying)
* 17:30–18:00 → 30 mins of chat, and leaving
🎒 **Bring:**
* Something to write with (laptop, notebook, phone, typewriter… anything goes)
* Something to drink (there is no cafeteria, unfortunately)
* Your current project or a blank page
* Yourself, exactly as you are
**👉 Responsibility:**
* Our location is limited; thus, I am kindly asking you to RSVP only if you are willing to attend.
**📍Location:**
* We meet at **Heinrich Schulz Library in Charlottenburg**. In the library, go look for the Gruppenraum; I will be waiting for you there. Any trouble finding the room, I will come to meet you outside.
* 🚇 U7 **Richard-Wagner-Platz**
* 🚌 M45 Bus **U Richard-Wagner-Platz**
**About me:**
Hi, my name is Anastasia. I started this writing club back in May 2025. Since then, it has been hosted weekly at the Heinrich Schulz Library (who is kind enough to allow us to use this room for free). Over this time, I’ve been privileged to meet some of the most creative and kind minds in Berlin. And I would be happy if you joined us. Whether you're an experienced writer or just at the beginning of your journey, you're welcome. If you know how to hold a pen or how to type, there will always be a space for you.
Let's write together!
Fehlstellen (Lesung, 27. Lange Buchnacht)
FEHLSTELLEN - ein Leseabend des Autorenforum Berlin e.V. - Texte und Bilder
Samstag, 9. Mai, 20-22 Uhr,
EINTRITT FREI
Wir wissen nicht, was im Verborgenen liegt, aber wir laden Euch ein, es mit uns zu ergründen. Wir, das Autorenforum Berlin e. V., präsentieren euch einen Abend mit Lesenden aus dem Kreis des Autorenforums und ihren Texten, in denen überbelichtet, Fragmente fixiert und das Alltägliche neu gerahmt wird.
Wir haben Texte für Euch gesucht, die wie Lücken in der Erinnerung klaffen oder behaupten, sie seien schon immer da gewesen. Es sind Texte, die aus dem Rahmen fallen, niemanden meinen und doch jeden treffen – gefunden im Rauschen einer fremden Cloud, zwischen den unkenntlich gemachten Zeilen gefundener Dateien. Es werden Konturen geschärft und Hintergründe sichtbar gemacht. Kommt dazu, wenn wir Geschichten Gehör schenken, die das Verborgene hervortreten lassen, die unerbittlich in die Sichtbarkeit schneiden.
www.lange-buchnacht.de/2026/tak-village/fehlstellen/
Kommt dazu und feiert mit uns, und lauscht gebannt dem Unausgesprochenen!
Kuratiert und moderiert von:
Alexandra Balakina, Thimo von Stuckrad und Peter Franz Weber
im tak Village - der kleine Spielort des tak Theater Aufbau Kreuzberg
im Oranienhof des Aufbau Haus am Moritzplatz
Hof-Eingang über Oranienstrasse 140, 10969 Berlin (neben Denn’s Biomarkt)
Barrierefreier Zugang über die Hofeinfahrt der Oranienstraße 140. Ein weiterer Zugang zum Hof befindet sich zwischen der Buchhandlung Moritzplatz und dem Imbiss WRAPUBLIC, Prinzenstraße 85/Ecke Oranienstraße.

ACX Spring Meetups Everywhere 2026
Let's meet for the [ACX Spring Meetups Everywhere 2026](https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/meetups-everywhere-spring-2026-times) in the Humboldthain!
This will likely be a big meetup, as it was announced by Scott on ACX. From experience, I expect 25–50 attendees.
Humboldthain is good to reach by public transport; the next train stops are S+U Gesundbrunnen and S Humboldthain.
If you’re reading this, you’re invited. Please don’t feel like you "won't be welcome" just because you’re new to the blog, demographically different from the average reader, or hate ACX and everything it stands for. You'll be fine!
I'll buy some snacks; feel free to bring something to share as well. There are also many restaurants around if you get hungry.
Location: Big lawn at the center of Humboldthain — [https://plus.codes/9F4MG9WP+36](https://plus.codes/9F4MG9WP+36)

On mortality
One of the few concepts in the world which every religion, creed, group etc agrees on is that our time on this planet is limited.
Whatever happens to you after that, the stories on that vary from person to person, group to group, but the inevitability of your physical body's limitation is agreed upon by everyone.
Yet, no one wants to talk about it, to contemplate, how awareness of one's mortality has influenced whole of human civilisation.
Even the oldest known literature, Epic of Gilgamesh, is a story about a man/demi-god, wanting to conquer death and achieve immortality, fails to do so.
Life and death have existed side by side closely since forever.
It was just more visible before modernity, because of less advanced medicine, less tamed nature etc.
Today? Well, its the last topic on most minds.
Hence, for this meetup, our topic would be simply, "On mortality".
I have found a cozy little cafe (The cafe has great homemade cakes by the way) near a peaceful cemetery.
Why a cemetery you may ask? And how can it be "peaceful"?
A cemetery may remind you of decay and depression, but instead, it has life all around. Small insects running their society, (if you look closely 😏), flowers, trees, melodic chirping of birds, and the beautiful sunlight tearing through the trees.
It has that contrast of and life and death coexisting so close to one another, which today's human's living in so much safety and certainty mostly get repelled away from and hence avoid discussing about it, is the major theme of this discussion.
Sunday Service 10:45am
You are welcome to join Sunday services at our church location.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease.
This walk is a simple reset.
We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment.
No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening.
If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk.
✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):**
* A short arrival and orientation
* A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation)
* One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress
* Optional reflection in pairs or small groups
* A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life
🚶**Who this is for:**
* Professionals, creatives, and people in transition.
* People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance.
* Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical.
* Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation.
🔔 **Practical notes:**
* Duration: 60-90 minutes
* Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing
* No prior experience needed
* Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused
🧭 **Facilitator:**
My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction.
🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?**
Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense.
Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world.
The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it.
🌿 **Possible effects:**
A calmer nervous system.
Clearer attention.
A felt sense of being more present in your body.
Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions.
A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city.
**Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**
Outdoor Silent Reading/Creating Club at Tilla-Durieux-Park [Luma to RSVP]
RSVP on [Luma](https://luma.com/0f3ue7fu?utm_source=Meetup).
Silent Reading / Creating Club is a gathering for people who enjoy focusing together in public.
Bring a book, a notebook, a sketchpad, knitting needles, whatever you’d like to spend a quiet hour doing. All projects and all participants are welcome.
We’re building a community of readers and creators who value depth, presence, and shared silence. The reading and creating isn't the real highlight, though, it’s in the people who return and make it feel like a familiar room.
(Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.)
Our Meeting Point is in the middle of the **Tilla-Durieux-Park near Potsdamer Platz**. Bring a picnic blanket, a cushion, and maybe some snacks/a drink!
No assignments, expectations, or pressure. Just a shared hour of intentional silence, followed by the opportunity for good conversation.
🕰 Our Agenda
**10:30 – 11:00**
Arrivals, ordering drinks/food, light social time
**11:00 – 12:00**
The Great Quiet Hour
(Read. Write. Sketch. Code. Think. Sit.)
**12:00 – 12:30**
Optional socializing: share what you were reading or creating, or simply continue in quiet focus.
## 🏡 House Guidelines
To keep this space calm and welcoming for everyone:
• Silence during the focus hour (no calls or conversations)
• Put cellphones on silent mode
• If using technology, please avoid meetings or audio (headphones please!)
• Arrive before 11:00 if possible to minimize disruptions

Duty vs. Results: What Makes an Action Moral?
When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches.
* **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason.
* **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes.
## Discussion Questions
1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie.
2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?**
3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome?
4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend?
5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles?
6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way?
7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time?
8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?
In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance".
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'!
Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life.
Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio.
Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision.
Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA). AoC members are invited to join this OA meetup and/or OA Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/omnipresentatheists/ ) but are free to continue conversations on the AoC Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/columbusatheists/ ). AoC was founded in 2012 as a networking, social group for Central Ohio area humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, freethinkers, and the curious. It was a member of Columbus CoR and held weekly meetings, mostly on Fridays, for several years but then operated as an online only group for some time. In November 2018, Omnipresent Atheists (OA), a group that routinely meets on Tuesdays, invited AoC to merge.
