**Von Einsamkeit zu Gemeinschaft \| Verbindungen schaffen** **mit *Marco Obermüller*** **Geschlossene Gruppe \| 6 Mal donnerstags \| auf Deutsch\*** für **LGBTQIA**+ kostenlos mit **[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/einsamkeitserien1/w04-2026/)** Einsamkeit kann entstehen, wenn Menschen wenig Gelegenheit haben, eine echte Verbindung zu anderen zu erleben. Hier setzt die Gruppe an, indem sie Räume schafft, in denen Zugehörigkeit aktiv erfahrbar wird. Im gemeinsamen Arbeiten an persönlichen Themen entsteht ein sozialer Resonanzraum, der Isolation durch Beziehung und Kontakt ersetzt. Durch das strukturierte Teilen von Erfahrungen wird Einsamkeit sichtbar, besprechbar und damit veränderbar. Durch moderierte Interaktion, Perspektivwechsel, kleine Experimente des Kontakterlebens und dem gemeinsamen Reflektieren, entwickeln Teilnehmende neue Formen von Verbundenheit und Strategien für soziale Wirksamkeit. Die Gruppe fungiert nicht nur als Unterstützung, sondern als Lernfeld für Beziehungsgestaltung. So entstehen tragfähige Verbindungen, die über das einzelne Treffen hinaus wirken und helfen, Einsamkeit nachhaltig zu reduzieren. **Hinweise** Diese Serie ist offen für alle. Diese Gruppe besteht aus maximal 15 Teilnehmern. **Sprache:** Dieses Reihe wird auf Deutsch sein. Dein Deutsch sollte fließend genug sein, um eine Veranstaltung auf Deutsch zu folgen. **Wichtig**: Du musst dich für die 6 Termine verpflichten. **Termine**: 22./01, 12./02, 26./02, 12./03, 09./04, and 23./04. **Geschlossene Gruppe**: Diese Struktur schafft eine vertrauensvolle Umgebung, in der Teilnehmer tiefergehende Verbindungen aufbauen können. **Kosten**: kostenlos mit Anmeldung *\*\* Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil unseres Programms ‚****[Gemeinsam statt einsam](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness)****‚, unterstützt von der* ***[LADS](https://www.berlin.de/sen/lads/)****.* *Erfahre mehr über das Programm [hier](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness).* 🔵 **From Loneliness to Community \| Creating Connections** **with *Marco Obermüller*** **Closed Group \| 6 Thursdays \| In German\*** für **LGBTQIA+** Free event with **[registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/einsamkeitserien1/w04-2026/)** Loneliness can arise when people have few opportunities to experience genuine connection with others. This is where the group comes in, creating spaces in which a sense of belonging can be actively experienced. By working together on personal topics, a social space of resonance emerges that replaces isolation with relationship and contact. Through the structured sharing of experiences, loneliness becomes visible, discussable, and therefore open to change. Through facilitated interaction, shifts in perspective, small experiments in experiencing contact, and shared reflection, participants develop new forms of connectedness and strategies for social effectiveness. The group functions not only as a source of support, but also as a learning environment for shaping relationships. In this way, resilient connections are formed that extend beyond the individual meeting and help to sustainably reduce loneliness. **General Information** This group consists of a maximum of 15 participants. **Language**: This series will be held in German. This series is open to everyone. Your German should be fluent enough to follow an event in German. **Important**: you must commit to all 6 sessions. **Dates**: 22/01, 12/02, 26/02, 12/03, 09/04, and 23/04. **Closed Group**: This structure creates a supportive environment where participants can build deeper connections. **Cost**: free event with registration *\*\* This event is part of the we are village program ‘****[Belonging versus Lonelines](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness)****‘, with the support of* ***[LADS](https://www.berlin.de/sen/lads/en/)****.* *Learn more about the program [here](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness).*

From the very beginning, I have immersed myself in a spiritual women’s group, which has been a profound source of support and growth. Yoga and Tantra Yoga have brought incredible balance, harmony, and a deeper understanding of myself, truly transforming my life. Throughout my journey with the traditional integral Yoga system, I’ve learned practical ways to bring calm and balance into daily life, even in challenging times. Completing my Tantra Yoga for Women Instructor Training was a turning point, as it allowed me to blossom in ways I hadn’t thought possible. Being surrounded by a nurturing sisterhood showed me the immense power of women uplifting one another, and I now feel called to share this path with other women who seek similar transformation. In this **Tantra Yoga for Women** group, I am excited to lead you through these teachings, helping you connect deeply with your feminine energy and support your blossoming into fullness and joy. Together, we’ll create a safe and sacred space where you can embrace your own potential, find balance, and build bonds with a supportive community of women. I look forward to sharing this journey with you! **Price per month** Normal: 30,00 € ***Note:*** Over Meetup you can only sign-up for the first month for 10,00 €.

**Open Writing Circle** **this month’s guest: Biba Oskar Nass** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/writing-circle/w04-2026)** For **LGBTQIA+** Pablo Santacana López invites participants to explore writing as a practice of queer world-making. This workshop approaches writing as a way to build what doesn’t yet exist. When we write from queer experience, we’re constructing alternative realities, imagining different ways of being together, oriented toward the future. **Words and stories reside within all of us, waiting to be discovered.** Our monthly Open Writing Circle invites people with all levels of writing experience to explore their creativity and imagination. In each session, one of Berlin’s many exceptional writers, poets, artists, or curators will create a vibrant and collective learning experience. Whether you’re interested in fiction, memoir, non-fiction, or poetry, this supportive space encourages you to uncover the words within you. We’ll draw upon techniques used in writing workshops to unleash your innate talent in a collaborative environment that will allow for a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights. This workshop aims to create an affirming, playful and empowering space for queer people to explore, express and celebrate their identities as well as to provide a platform for the stories of the LGBTQIA+ community to be shared, heard and valued. **Biba Oskar Nass** (they/them), a trans boy and wordsmith, writes prose and poetry as a freelance artist. In their work, they address queer history and remembrance. Biba Oskar Nass is also a workshop host and co-publishes the queer literary magazine Transcodiert, among other texts. **General information** **⁠Level**: No previous experience is necessary. **Language**: while the group is primarily conducted in English, you are welcome to write in any language you feel comfortable with. ⁠We also invite all writers to consider leading a future session—please contact us for more information 🔵 **Open Writing Circle** **[Kostenlos mit Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/writing-circle/w04-2026/)** For **LGBTQIA+** **Gast in diesem Monat:** **Biba Oskar Nass** (they/them), transboy & wortmetzger, writes prose and poetry as a freelance artist.

Hi everyone, join us on Sunday, January 25th, at Castle Mitte for a fun afternoon to connect and discuss MBTI personality, psychology and other interesting topics. Looking forward to seeing you there! Take a test to learn your type: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test https://sakinorva.net/functions Some basic info on functions and type: https://www.verywellmind.com/the-myers-briggs-type-indicator-2795583 https://www.truity.com/blog/beginners-guide-understanding-mbti-cognitive-functions Our group aims to bring together people who are interested in self-development and self-improvement using MBTI and cognitive functions, in order to learn more about the theory and share our experiences with it. Another reason for this meetup is to meet people with whom you might potentially get along really well based on your type. This can lead to meaningful connections :)
Although the meetup is geared towards people who are interested in learning about MBTI theory and using it to improve their lives, our conversations aren’t only about that! We talk about anything and everything. So it's more like a regular social meetup with the aim of avoiding small talk :)

**Radical Empathy** host by Neo Seefried guest: Merten Legatz event for **LGBTQIA+** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/radical-empathy/w04-2026)** This workshop series invites participants to explore how queer storytelling can hold, transform, and reimagine conflict – both personal and collective. In an intimate closed group of up to 30, we will create a space where differences are not erased but lived, opening up new ways of being connected. Queer lives are shaped by contradictions – between belonging and exclusion, visibility and erasure, intimacy and alienation. Instead of suppressing them, this series invites us to hold, quarrel with, and even find joy in their friction. **We will ask questions such as:** • How can we live conflicts differently? • What can we learn from one another about responding to tension with more than silence or aggression? • What does queer experience teach us about the joy of irritation, the art of quarreling, the utopias of disagreement? **Practices we’ll explore together:** • Fishbowl-inspired storytelling: one story opens, others weave in. • Embodied listening: holding difference through the body. • Mindfulness & circle practices: slowing down, making space for complexity. • Generative visioning: imagining queer futures shaped not by consensus but by shared vulnerability and empathy. **Event Overview: Upcoming Guests and Dates:** • Sunday, September 21, 2025: Mark Pertuis – Queer Mama • Sunday, October 19, 2025: Mati Klitgard – gayconsentlab • Sunday, November 30, 2025: TBC • Friday, January 23, 2026: Merten Legatz – Lecturer at TU, specializing in queer worldmaking. • Friday, February 13, 2026: Olympia Bukkakis – Drag performers and activists **General information** **Participant**: this workshop series is open to LGBTQIA+ people, with particular encouragement for those holding multiple marginalizations. **Language**: Depending on the group’s needs, sessions will be held in German and/or English. **Cost**: Free of charge, registration required. 🔵 In dieser Workshop-Reihe erforschen die Teilnehmenden, wie queeres Storytelling Konflikte halten, transformieren und neu imaginieren kann – persönlich wie kollektiv. Die Gruppe (max. 30 Personen) schafft einen intimen Raum, in dem Unterschiede nicht geglättet, sondern gelebt werden, und in dem neue Formen von Verbindung erprobt werden. Queere Lebensrealitäten sind von Spannungen geprägt: zwischen Zugehörigkeit und Ausschluss, Sichtbarkeit und Auslöschung, Intimität und Fremdheit. Anstatt diese Widersprüche zu verdrängen, lädt diese Reihe dazu ein, sie zu halten, mit ihnen zu ringen – und Freude an ihrer Reibung zu finden. **Im Fokus stehen Fragen wie:** • Wie können wir Konflikte anders leben? • Was können wir voneinander lernen, um Spannungen mit mehr als Schweigen oder Aggression zu begegnen? • Welche queeren Perspektiven eröffnen Freude am Streit, die Kunst des Aneinanders und Utopien des Nicht-Einigseins? **Praktiken, die wir gemeinsam erproben:** • Storytelling im Fishbowl-Format: eine Geschichte entfaltet sich, andere Stimmen verweben sich. • Verkörpertes Zuhören: Differenz durch den Körper halten. • Achtsamkeits- und Kreispraktiken: Verlangsamung, Raum für Komplexität. • Generative Visionen: queere Zukünfte denken – getragen von Verletzlichkeit und Empathie statt Konsens. **Veranstaltungsübersicht: Kommende Gäste und Termine** • Sonntag, 21. September 2025: Mark Pertuis – Queer Mama • Sonntag, 19. Oktober 2025: Mati Klitgård – gayconsentlab • Sonntag, 30. November 2025: Pansy – Let’s talk about sex and drugs • Freitag, 23. Januar 2026: Olympia Bukkakis – Drag-Performer\*Innen und Aktivist\*Innen • Freitag, 13. Februar 2026: Merten Legatz – Dozent an der TU, spezialisiert auf queer worldmaking. **Hinweise** **Teilnehmende:** Die Reihe richtet sich an queere Menschen (LGBTQIA+). Wir empfehlen insbesondere die Teilnahme von Menschen mit mehrfachen Marginalisierungen. **Sprache:** Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe auf Deutsch und/oder Englisch\*\*.\*\* **Kosten:** kostenlos mit Anmeldung. **Mit Unterstützung der Senatsverwaltung für Inneres und Sport – Landeskommission Berlin gegen Gewalt**

Wir beginnen damit, den Körper zu erwecken und zu entspannen. Dann konzentrieren wir uns auf eine intensiv sanfte und genussvoll langsame äußere Analmassage. Dabei können wir Tabus, die wir über unseren Anus gelernt haben, loslassen, mehr Intimität zulassen und Vertrauen aufbauen.Im zweiten Teil des Workshops laden wir dich ein, tiefer zu gehen und die Feinheiten analer Erotik zu erkunden, einschließlich der Massage des „männlichen G-Punkts“. Du hast die Gelegenheit, bewusste Atmung, verbale Kommunikation über deine Wünsche, Bedürfnisse und Grenzen sowie respektvolle Berührung zu erforschen.

1 EURO DONATION FEE PER PERSON IS REQUIRED (on site, in cash), to pay back the Meetup subscription fees and support my Events. READ THE DESCRIPTION WITH THE INFO (IMPORTANT). We take a walk in Berlin to meet new people or people we already know 😁 It's a way to spend a few hours together on a Sunday afternoon. **How it works?** The concept is very simple: * We meet at Boddinstr U Bahn Station at 14,15 o'clock (we use the Whatsapp Chat to find each other: I will post there my exact location outside the station) * I wait for people for 10 minutes, till 14,25, then we start to walk direction Volkspark Hasenheide, crossing the entire park 🌳🌳🌳 and going then further * We go on reaching then Park am Gleisdreieck 🌲🌳☘️ * We finally reach KERB at Potsdamer Platz (https://maps.app.goo.gl/cT3642AqjumEMuCP9) to sit down together to take something to drink or eat 🥐☕🍪 * The total length of the walk is about 8kms I consider that the event will last in overall around 4 hours (2 hours of walk and 2 hours at Kerb), but people are free to stay together longer, if they want 🙂 What I provide is leading the walk and the people at Kerb, but I do not force anyone to stay shorter or longer. I do not provide a "personal support" for people who arrive after 14,25 (do not write to me expecting "private support"). You are responsible to check for the weather and decide if come or not. Thanks for understanding. If you have to contact me, make it via Whatsapp, not here on Meetup.

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Optional topic for this meet up: Is life a dream? Is life a simulation? Dreams feel real while they last. Could life work the same way? How do we know we’re awake, and what follows if we can’t be sure? Let’s kick that around over a around of drinks: • What makes something feel real: continuity, shared evidence, or meaning? • How do we know we're not in a simulation? • How would you tell you’re awake (reality checks, memory, other people)? • If life is dreamlike, what becomes of free will and responsibility? • Is identity a story we keep telling—who’s the narrator? • Are we author, actor, or audience in our dreams and how would you tell? • Does art/film reveal reality or replace it? No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it’s fun.
