Der politische Diskurs ist für alle diejenigen, die politische und gesellschaftliche Themen verfolgen und sich gerne darüber austauschen wollen. Wir alle wissen, dass der Vorteil einer Demokratie gegenüber autoritären Systemen darin besteht, dass Meinungen geäußert und Kritik geübt werden kann - so let's do this! Jedesmal steht ein neues, eher generelles Thema im Zentrum, über das wir uns respektvoll austauschen wollen.
Das Thema unseres kommenden Abends ist die Frage: **Landtagswahl Berlin '26**
Aktuelle Wahlprognosen und daraus folgende, mögliche Koalitionszusammensetzungen gibt es [bei dawum](https://dawum.de/Berlin/#Koalitionen) . Zudem wollen wir vorläufige Wahlprogramme diskutieren, soweit diese vorliegen.

Warm Data Lab and "More than a Method" book launch
**Overview:**
Experience the richness of “warm” stories across different areas of life, listen, share, and discover, plus a book launch with free copies.
We warmly invite you to a gathering that offers something beyond an ordinary conversation. It is an experience where you can listen to a variety of stories and, if you feel ready, share your own.
**Warm Data Lab** is a space to explore the richness of “warm” stories across different areas of life. It is a meeting that is partly with others, partly with yourself, and partly with something beyond words.
**Flow:**
You will be welcomed with a drink and a small snack, followed by a gentle introduction to the Warm Data Lab format, a structure that allows plenty of space to follow what feels important to you.
After about an hour of Lab, we will invite you to stay for a more informal time together. There will be space for chatting, and we will also present a newly published book by us, a compilation of methods for working with people *in motion*: "**More than a method**". Copies will be available free of charge for participants.

Berlin Sprachcafé. Learn and practise German easily (A1-A2)
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!\*

Labor: Past, Present, and Future – Work, Power, and Purpose
**Labor: Past, Present, and Future – Work, Power, and Purpose**
Labor is a defining force of human life. It shapes how we survive, how societies are organized, and how power and resources are distributed. Work can provide stability, dignity, and meaning—but it can also lead to inequality, exploitation, and exhaustion. More than just an individual experience, labor is a collective reality that reflects the structure of our world.
At its foundation, labor is tied to survival. Like all living beings, humans must expend energy to sustain life. Our bodies and minds are wired for effort, cooperation, and problem-solving. Yet human labor goes far beyond biology—it is structured by economic systems, cultural values, and political decisions that determine who works, how, and for whose benefit.
Across history, labor has continuously evolved—and so have the struggles surrounding it. Workers have organized to demand rights, protections, and fair wages, giving rise to unions, movements, and political parties. In many countries, labor movements shaped modern democracy, from the Social Democratic Party of Germany in Germany to the Labour Party in the UK, alongside similar movements across Europe and beyond. These efforts are remembered and celebrated globally on Labor Day.
Labor is not only a human phenomenon. In the natural world, cooperation, division of roles, and collective effort are essential for survival—from insect colonies to social mammals. These systems offer a broader perspective on work as something deeply rooted in life itself, while also highlighting what makes human labor unique: its complexity, inequality, and capacity for change.
In today’s world, labor is undergoing rapid transformation. Automation, digital platforms, and globalization are reshaping traditional employment. Stable careers are giving way to flexible—and sometimes precarious—forms of work.
At the same time, the psychological experience of labor is becoming more visible: questions of burnout, motivation, identity, and purpose are central to how people relate to their work.
Looking ahead, the future of labor may challenge long-held assumptions. Artificial intelligence and robotics could significantly reduce the need for human labor in many sectors, while increasing demand in others. This raises fundamental questions: What is the role of work in human life? How should wealth be distributed? And how do we define purpose in a world where labor is no longer central to survival?
We will explore how labor has evolved through history—from early forms of work to modern economies—and how worker movements and political forces like the Social Democratic Party of Germany and the Labour Party shaped rights and social change.
We’ll also reflect on labor as a biological, psychological, and social experience—how effort, motivation, and cooperation shape both humans and the natural world—and how work today is being transformed by technology, from gig economies to automation. Finally, we’ll look ahead to the future of labor, asking what happens if work changes fundamentally, and how we might rethink purpose, fairness, and the role of labor in our lives.
Join us for a critical and engaging discussion on labor—not only as work, but as a force that shapes society, identity, and the future. Together, we’ll reflect on how labor defines our lives today and how it might be reimagined tomorrow.

Selbstverwirklichung - Sinn und Unsinn eines Begriffs
Wachstum, Entfaltung des eigenen Potentials, Selbstverwirklichung (oder im Englischen Self-Actualization) sind Wörter, die für viele Menschen eine wichtige Rolle spielen, ja man könnte sagen, dass sich mit ihnen Glaubensvorstellungen verbinden, die einer Religion ähneln. Wo aber gehört der Begriff Selbstverwirklichung hin? Zu Psychologie, Biologie, Philosophie, Religion, zum Coaching oder auf die Müllhalde der Geistesgeschichte?
Obwohl schon Aristoteles über die Entelechie (das Innehaben des Ziels) sprach, wurde der moderne Begriff erst im 20. Jahrhundert wissenschaftlich geformt. Der Neurologe Kurt Goldstein prägte den Begriff in seinem Werk „Der Aufbau des Organismus“. Er betrachtete Selbstverwirklichung als einen biologischen Drang, als Triebkraft eines Organismus, all seine Kapazitäten auszuschöpfen. Ein Organismus strebt danach, seine Integrität zu wahren und sein Potenzial in der Umwelt zu entfalten.
Abraham Maslow ist der Name, den die meisten heute mit dem Begriff verbinden. In seinem Aufsatz „A Theory of Human Motivation“ stellte er die berühmte Bedürfnishierarchie vor. Selbstverwirklichung steht an der Spitze der Pyramide. Er definierte es als das Verlangen, immer mehr das zu werden, was man ist, und alles zu werden, wozu man fähig ist. Im Gegensatz zu Goldstein sah Maslow es als ein "Wachstumsbedürfnis", das erst richtig aktiv wird, wenn Defizitbedürfnisse (wie Hunger oder Sicherheit) gestillt sind.
Der Psychotherapeut Carl Rogers integrierte das Konzept in seine klientenzentrierte Gesprächspsychotherapie. Er glaubte, dass jeder Mensch eine innere Tendenz hat, sich selbst zu erhalten und zu fördern. Psychische Probleme entstehen laut Rogers dann, wenn diese Entfaltung durch äußere Bedingungen (z.B. mangelnde Akzeptanz) blockiert wird. Maslow und Rogers gelten als Gründerfiguren der so genannten humanistischen Psychologie, die sich weniger an Defiziten als an positiven Möglichkeiten orientieren wollte.
In der Psychologie wurde darüber debattiert, ob die Thesen der humanistischen Psychologie wissenschaftlich prüfbar sind. Kann man Selbstverwirklichung wirklich messen? Was "volles Potenzial" bedeutet, ist subjektiv. Für den einen ist es das Malen von Meisterwerken, für den anderen die Erziehung von Kindern. Kritiker werfen dem Konzept vor, sehr westlich und individualistisch geprägt zu sein. In kollektivistischen Kulturen wird "Selbstverwirklichung" oft durch den Beitrag zur Gemeinschaft definiert, nicht durch die eigene Entfaltung. Die humanistische Psychologie verschwand zusammen mit ihren Therapien aus den Universitäten und Ausbildungsstellen.
Die so genannte Positive Psychologie versucht, das Erbe anzutreten. Moderne Forscher dieser Richtung haben das Konzept in messbare Faktoren zerlegt: Autonomie, Kompetenz und soziale Eingebundenheit. Diese drei Faktoren sind empirisch extrem gut belegt und gelten als moderne, wissenschaftliche Entsprechung der Selbstverwirklichung.
Was aber wird aus der Idee, dass wir ein Potential in uns tragen, dass es zu entfalten gilt?
Ist das – wenigstens als Glaubensvorstellung oder Orientierung - noch sinnvoll?

Language & Art Lovers meet for the multimedia performance „Not (so) Human“
*For English version please scroll down*
**„Not (so) Human“ ist eine experimentelle Arbeit der Choreografin Christine Saulut Bonansea mit dem Komponisten Luca Foruccio.** In der interdisziplinären Performance erforschen die beiden Künstler\*innen mit interaktiven Visuals, Sounds und zeitgenössischem Tanz das Konzept der „Augmentation“, der Erweiterung menschlicher Fähigkeiten mit Hilfe von KI. So entsteht eine einzigartige Choreografie, die eine faszinierende Spannung zwischen körperlicher Präsenz und der körperlosen Natur künstlicher Intelligenz entfesselt. Christine Bonansea erschafft interdisziplinäre Werke mit digitalen Medien. Ihre Arbeit wird von US-amerikanischen und deutschen Stiftungen unterstützt und umfasst VR, AR und Robotik.
Dauer der Performance: ca. 50 Minuten
Sprachen des anschließenden Austauschs: Deutsch, Englisch, Spanisch, Portugiesisch

*English version*
**“Not (so) Human” is an experimental work by choreographer Christine Saulut Bonansea in collaboration with composer Luca Foruccio.** In this interdisciplinary performance, the two artists explore the concept of “augmentation” – the enhancement of human capabilities through AI – using interactive visuals, sounds and contemporary dance. The result is a unique choreography that unleashes a fascinating tension between physical presence and the disembodied nature of artificial intelligence. Christine Bonansea creates interdisciplinary works using digital media. Her work is supported by US and German foundations and encompasses VR, AR and robotics.
Duration of performance: aprox. 50 minutes
Languages of exchange after the show: German, English, Spanish, Portuguese

Radical Empathy
**Radical Empathy – Tools for Togetherness**
**Relationships and Partnerships**
with ***Neo Seefried ***& ***Maximilian Popp***
for **LGBTQIA+**
Free with[ ](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/radical-empathy/w16-2026)**[registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/radical-empathy/w16-2026)**
How do we stay connected in queer contexts when conflict, strong emotions, and differences arise? In this session on r**elationships and partnerships**, guest **Maximilian Popp** (systemic couples therapist) brings a compact mix of input and practice—on triggers, shame, and common protective strategies—plus practical tools for regulation, difficult conversations, and repairing after an argument.
**This Month’s Guest: Maximilian Popp – Systemic Couples Therapist**
Relationships and Partnerships
In this workshop, guest Maximilian Popp offers a practical mix of a short talk and an exercise. Together, we’ll explore what conflicts in close relationships can bring to the surface—and how queer experiences can shape our patterns around closeness, arguments, and withdrawal. The session also introduces everyday tools to help us stay more regulated, clear, and connected in difficult moments. We’ll close with space to reflect on our own strategies and try out new possibilities for deeper connection.
**About Radical Empathy**
**Radical Empathy – Tools for Togetherness** builds on Radical Empathy – Queer Storytelling for Connection (2025) and further develops the format: from collective storytelling to collective practice. The workshop series strengthens queer solidarity in all its diversity and asks: How can we stay connected, especially when things get tough?
Hosted by **Neo Seefried**, the series combines collective storytelling with somatic, communicative, and creative tools to remain capable of acting in queer contexts when faced with conflicts, emotions, and differences—without avoiding or escalating them, but rather with greater clarity, care, and relational competence.
Each session has its own thematic focus (including grief & death, relationships, migration, HIV/AIDS, club culture & substances, trans/inter/non-binary) and is complemented by a guest who explores the respective topic in depth. At the center is the Resonance Circle: a space for shared stories, mindful listening, and resonance—empathy as a practice that we train together and carry into our daily lives.

**Radikale Empathie – Werkzeuge für das Miteinander**
**Beziehungen und Partnerschaften**
mit ***Neo Seefried*** und ***Maximilian Popp***
Wie bleiben wir in queeren Kontexten verbunden, wenn Konflikte, starke Emotionen und Differenzen auftauchen? In dieser Session zu **Beziehungen & Partnerschaften** bringt Gast **Maximilian Popp** (systemischer Paartherapeut) einen kompakten Mix aus Input und Übung mit – zu Triggern, Scham und typischen Schutzstrategien – plus konkrete Tools für Regulation, schwierige Gespräche und Repair nach Streit.
**Gast in diesem Monat: Maximilian Popp – systemischer Paartherapeut**
**Beziehungen und Partnerschaften**
In diesem Workshop lädt Gast Maximilian Popp zu einem praxisnahen Mix aus Kurz‑Input und Übung ein. Gemeinsam erkunden wir, was Konflikte in nahen Beziehungen sichtbar machen können – und wie queere Erfahrungen unsere Muster in Nähe, Streit und Rückzug prägen. Ergänzt wird das durch alltagstaugliche Tools, die dabei unterstützen, in schwierigen Momenten regulierter, klarer und in Kontakt zu bleiben. Zum Abschluss gibt es Raum, eigene Strategien bewusster zu verstehen und neue Möglichkeiten für mehr Verbindung zu erproben.
**Über Radical Empathy**
**Radical Empathy – Tools for Togetherness** knüpft an **Radical Empathy – Queer Storytelling for Connection** (2025) an und entwickelt das Format weiter: vom gemeinsamen Erzählen hin zum gemeinsamen Üben. Die Workshop-Reihe stärkt queeres Miteinander in seiner Vielfalt und fragt: Wie können wir verbunden bleiben, gerade wenn es schwierig wird?
Gehostet von **Neo Seefried**, verbindet die Reihe kollektives Storytelling mit somatischen, kommunikativen und kreativen Tools, um in queeren Kontexten mit Konflikten, Emotionen und Differenzen handlungsfähig zu bleiben – ohne zu vermeiden oder zu eskalieren, sondern mit mehr Klarheit, Fürsorge und Beziehungskompetenz.
Jede Session hat einen eigenen thematischen Fokus (u.a. Trauer & Tod, Beziehungen, Migration, HIV/Aids, Clubkultur & Substanzen, trans/inter/nicht-binär) und wird durch einen Gast ergänzt, der das jeweilige Thema vertieft. Im Zentrum steht der Resonance Circle: ein Raum für geteilte Geschichten, bewusstes Zuhören und Resonanz – Empathie als Praxis, die wir gemeinsam trainieren und in den Alltag mitnehmen.

he will tune the experience to the mood of the crowd.
Bring whatever you need to enjoy the park: food, drinks, sun protection, picnic blanket or anything else.
The activities are free, yet you are welcome to throw some coin his way afterwards (his phone was stolen a few days ago and he would appreciate it).
We meet in the south part of park Hasenheide, near the calisthenics area and Cafe Hasenschänke (which I've been told has free restrooms).
If the weather makes it impossible or there are any changes to the plan and you are registered, you will receive an update.
Put on your playful spirit and see you there!

Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
Monthly Meet Up (Assassin’s Apprentice)

Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
