Moving to Berlin is an adventure, but let’s be real—the "Berlin Schnauze" (the city's famous bluntness) can be a bit intimidating, and finding your people takes time. Whether you arrived last week or last year, if you’re looking to break out of the "expat bubble" or just find some friendly faces in your neighborhood, this is for you. We’re gathering at **Ä Stube**, a cozy, alternative gem in the heart of Neukölln. Think dim lights, great music, and a relaxed atmosphere where you don't have to shout to be heard. We can't wait to welcome you to the neighborhood. 🥨✨

**A** **gathering of people who didn't feel like they belonged where they grew up, and are now creating a life on their own terms.** ​You left an environment that didn’t feel right. Not necessarily because it was objectively bad, but because it didn’t fit *you*. The conversations felt unstimulating, the expectations felt limiting. The way life was “supposed” to look didn’t make you excited at all, to say the least. So you stepped away, maybe physically, maybe emotionally, maybe both. And since then, you’ve been figuring things out on your own. **But even after leaving, parts of you still operate in ways that don’t feel like you. You catch yourself falling into old patterns and ways of thinking, like something is still holding you back from being fully free.** **You want nothing more than to get rid of that hold.** This space is for you! **Here you are welcome to share what you're navigating and discovering, and have honest conversations with people who get it and see things in a similar way.** **If you're someone who…** * Thinks a lot, questions a lot, and rarely just accepts things at face value * Notices how the majority of people live and quietly think, *this isn't it for me* * Has ideas about a different kind of life, even if you can't fully articulate it yet * Values freedom, depth, and peace of mind more than status or doing what's expected * Enjoys meaningful conversations, but often finds yourself in spaces where things stay surface level * Is constantly reflecting, adjusting, and trying to understand yourself better **And you're looking for a space where...** * You can speak freely, without having to translate or tone yourself down * Conversations go beyond small talk and into something real * You are not met with judgment, but with understanding and respect * You can think out loud, explore ideas, and hear different perspectives without the pressure of choosing one * The focus isn’t on staying stuck, but on moving forward * **You can start to untangle the beliefs and patterns that have been holding you back** * **You’re not just sharing, but actually gaining perspective that helps you move forward** You're welcome here. *\*After you RSVP, you will receive the Google Meet link a day before the event.* ​P.S. - This is a free monthly event, part of the Way of The Free community.

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. The Sprachcafé is for free. \*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\* \| \| \| \|

¿De quiénes hablamos cuando hablamos de "brujas"? ¿Un sombrero puntiagudo, una escoba, un personaje de Disney? Este recorrido va más allá del mito para descubrir una historia de saberes olvidados y mujeres que se atrevieron a saber demasiado. Parteras, herbolarias, alquimistas, personas que simplemente no encajaban en su tiempo. Este 30 de abril, en la noche de Walpurgis, recorremos el Mitte más antiguo para preguntarnos qué queda hoy de ese miedo a lo "diferente", y cómo aquellas historias del pasado siguen resonando en nuestro presente. Una caminata para aprender, recordar y reivindicar, juntxs. 🧙‍♀️🔥 📅 30.04 · 18hs 📍 Nikolaiviertel ⏱ 2 Hs.

Nice! You are looking for real long time friendship! You might have already lived in Berlin or other big cities and experienced the "Anonymous" culture for a while. Meeting random people over and over and never see the same person again! In order to find "Real Long Term Friendship" in Berlin, do as follows: * You should not care how many people are joining this meetup. You RVSP. Even if only one person is joining. Because if everyone are waiting for everyone else to RVSP, nobody joins and nobody finds a new friend. * You do not care how many people of the opposite sex are joining. You are looking for friends. Finding the best romantic partner in the world, while avoiding not very attractive others, can be your other goal, for another time. Here we are looking for Friends. Real ones. * You are going to risk a very precious property of yours: Your time! Yes, there are thousands of opportunities in Berlin, there might be a rock concert for free, a birthday party you might miss, an important person might call you and invite you spontaneously, but you never find new friends until you decide to risk your time and meet people anyway. "I will check my calendar and get back to you" also does not work. Commit your time and spend it. Trust me, you won't go bankrupt ;-) * You are ready to use your phone as a real phone! You might have been using your phone as a tablet to visit Instagram and Facebook and watch movies. But if you want to find friends, you must know that people might take your phone number and give you theirs. That means they will Call you! And you have to pick up the phone and answer it. If you want to find new friends, you must be ready to do something really hard for the first time after years: Call people first, and if they called you: Answer your phone! * You are going to meet some people twice! That's the point of friendship. We already can experience random encounters with random people in random places one at a time. But that is not called friendship. If you want friends, you must be ready to meet the same person more than once. If you agree with above, RVSP and COME! You will meet other people who think the same way. P.S: Now that you've read all the way down to here, I suggest you [watch this animation](https://player.vimeo.com/video/547249272?h=22f3dd0f6f).
