Merhabalar, **22 Mart Pazar 15:00**'da buluşuyoruz. Mekan [März Bar](https://www.maerzberlin.de/). İçeride rahat berjer koltukların olduğu bir oda var, girince solda. **[Schönhauser Allee ringbahn](https://maps.app.goo.gl/oWVqcXtfZM5q69yN9)** durağına yakın, Stargarder üzerinde. Ulaşımın Ring Bahn (S41 ya da S42) ile kolay olacağını düşünüyorum. Her zamanki etkinlik formatı ve tanıtımı aşağıda: **Önemli Not**: Mekanda sınırlı sayıda koltuk olduğu için genelde 8-9 kişi ile sınırlıyoruz etkinliği. **Eğer gelemeyeceksiniz en azından bir gün önceden meetup'taki etkinlik sayfasında etkinlikten kendinizi çıkartmayı unutmayın**. Böylece Pazar günü gelebilecek kişiler kendilerini ekleyebilirler Açık kitap kulubü formatında buluşacağız, detaylar aşağıda, görüşmek üzere! * **Kitap kulübü "açık" formatta. Yani** **belirli bir kitap üzerinden değil**, katılımcıların o sıralarda okudukları ya da bitirdiği bir kitap üzerine paylaşımda bulundukları daha geniş katılımı mümkün kılan bir format. * Kulübü **kurmaca kitaplar kategorisi ile sınırlı tutuyoruz**. **Kurmaca kitaplar kategorisi şunlardan ibarettir: roman, öykü ve şiir. Yani edebi eserler**. Otobiyografi, kişisel gelişim kitapları ya da sosyoloji, psikoloji vs. kitapları kurmaca değildir. * **Kulüpteki Türkçe vurgusu konuşma dili için**. Kitaplar elbette herhangi bir dünya edebiyatına ait olabilir. Herhangi bir dilde de okunabilir. Yine de misafirlerin ana dili ya da ona yakın seviyede Türkçe bildiğini, ortak paydasının Türkçe edebiyat okuru olmak olduğunu varsayıyorum. Herhangi bir ulusa ya da etnisiteye ait olmak değil.

Since it is the start of Spring, it may be nice to sit on the grass and have our first *kumustahan* while taking in the sun. I know it is a little bit last-minute, but if you are free, let us meet at Boxhagener Platz this coming Sunday, March 22, at 1:30-3:30 pm. You can bring some snacks for sharing, but most importantly, *magbaon* kayo ng *kwento*! **Filipino Vocabulary:** **Kumustahan** refers to a gathering or activity where people greet each other and communicate, often sharing stories and news. It is derived from the Filipino phrase “*Kumusta?"*, which means “How are you?” in English. **Magbaon** means to bring food or provisions, often for a trip or outing. It can also refer to the act of taking essentials for a particular occasion. **Kwento** means story. It is derived from the Spanish word *cuento*.

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

**Cruising through paint- Somatography of intimacy** with ***Martin Dieudonné*** for **LGBTQIA+** **Free Admission** In this performance, Martin Dieudonné presents a live meeting between artist and model, built on presence, trust, intimacy, and consent. Though separated by a large canvas with no physical contact, the artist paints through touch: caressing, holding, and tracing the model’s body with gesture and pigment, using his own body as a tool. The canvas becomes a membrane where movement replaces direct skin-to-skin contact, transforming intimacy into image. By the end, the artist hopes the model will feel the touch through the painting itself, as if sensation has crossed the surface and settled into the body. The act becomes a physical dialogue where movement, breath, and distance shape the image. Rooted in live sessions with gay and queer community members, the work builds a growing family of portraits that celebrate raw tenderness and vulnerability. The model remains still yet fully present as witness, while the audience, as third party, observes how bodies can be discovered through rhythm, attention, and care. Through trust and surrender, these works hold intimacy as a shared, powerful force: a testament to vulnerability celebrated together. The performance lasts approximately 40min. The public is invited to walk around and see it from different perspectives and witness the creation of the artwork. 🔵 In dieser Performance präsentiert Martin Dieudonné eine Live-Begegnung zwischen Künstler und Modell, die auf Präsenz, Vertrauen, Intimität und Einvernehmen basiert. Obwohl durch eine große Leinwand getrennt und ohne physischen Kontakt, malt der Künstler durch Berührung: Er streichelt, hält und zeichnet den Körper des Modells mit Gesten und Pigmenten nach und nutzt dabei seinen eigenen Körper als Werkzeug. Die Leinwand wird zu einer Membran, in der Bewegung den direkten Hautkontakt ersetzt und Intimität in ein Bild verwandelt. Am Ende hofft der Künstler, dass das Modell die Berührung durch das Gemälde selbst spürt – als hätte die Empfindung die Oberfläche durchquert und sich im Körper niedergelassen. Der Akt wird zu einem physischen Dialog, in dem Bewegung, Atem und Distanz das Bild formen. Verwurzelt in Live-Sitzungen mit Mitgliedern der schwulen und queeren Community, entsteht eine wachsende Familie von Porträts, die rohe Zärtlichkeit und Verletzlichkeit zelebrieren. Das Modell bleibt ruhig und zugleich vollkommen präsent als Zeuge, während das Publikum als dritte Instanz beobachtet, wie Körper durch Rhythmus, Aufmerksamkeit und Fürsorge entdeckt werden können. Durch Vertrauen und Hingabe bewahren diese Arbeiten Intimität als gemeinsame, kraftvolle Energie – ein Zeugnis gemeinsam gefeierter Verletzlichkeit. Die Performance dauert etwa 40 Minuten. Das Publikum ist eingeladen, sich frei im Raum zu bewegen, verschiedene Perspektiven einzunehmen und die Entstehung des Kunstwerks mitzuerleben.

**The Question of Success: Psychology, Society, History, and Personal Meaning** Success is one of the most commonly used and least clearly defined ideas in modern life. People are encouraged to pursue success in education, careers, relationships, creativity, and personal development. Yet what success actually means—and how it is defined—varies widely across historical periods, cultures, and individual experiences. For some, success is associated with wealth, status, recognition, or professional achievement. For others, it may mean autonomy, purpose, intellectual fulfillment, meaningful relationships, or inner well-being. Because of this diversity, success is not only a personal aspiration but also a social and psychological concept shaped by historical context, cultural values, institutions, and collective expectations. This session will explore how the idea of success is formed, pursued, and experienced. We will consider how social structures, cultural narratives, and psychological processes influence what people strive for, how they evaluate their lives, and how they interpret achievement and failure. In this session, we will focus on the following topics: * How different cultures and historical periods have defined a successful life * What psychology reveals about motivation, ambition, and the drive to achieve * How society—education, work, and social expectations—shapes our idea of success * The inner side of success: self-belief, identity, and personal values * Why success does not always lead to happiness—and what failure teaches us * Who gets the opportunity to succeed—and how we might redefine success today This will be an open and reflective conversation grounded in historical perspectives, psychological research, social structures, and personal experience. Together, we will examine how success is constructed, how it influences our decisions and identities, and how individuals and societies might rethink what it means to live a successful life. 📅 **Event Details** 🗓️ **Date:** Sunday, 22 March 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 14:00 📍 **Location:** Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin 📱 **WhatsApp (for prep materials and directions)** [Group Chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H)

Ciao a tutt\*! Let's meet Monday at 6.30pm at the Upper Arlington Library (**Tremont** Branch) in **Meeting Room A** to speak in Italian for 1 hour. Keeping Monday for consistency but we can discuss if there are better days/times/locations!

Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters. QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves! ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas! TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk) PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM. It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!

Inspired by the successful events like "Pot Luck in the Park" and "Saturday Mornings @ East Market," this meetup promises a fun and engaging atmosphere where like-minded individuals can connect over a shared love for languages and cultures. Whether you're a language learner, ESL student, or simply passionate about exploring new cultures, this event is perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a diverse and welcoming community. Come join us for an enlightening evening of language, culture, food, of course, and connections! (Everyone will individually choose from the menu and pay for their own meal.)

Come join us for dinner with good company on Saturday, March 28th from 6-8pm at the wonderful **Loving Hut** in Reynoldsburg. The food *always* slaps 😋 Check out the Loving Hut's delicious menu[ HERE](https://lovinghut.us/reynoldsburg/)! There is limited seating so please change your RSVP if you can no longer make it. Thank you! Lastly, we may decide to do something after dinner, but that is undecided as of now 😌
