**Open writing circle** For **LGBTQIA+** **Gast in diesem Monat: Alejandro Múnera** **[Free with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/writing-circle/w26-2026/)** This workshop invites LGBTQI+ participants to approach writing as a practice of listening. Together, we will explore what it means to listen carefully to ourselves, to one another, and to the multiplicity of worlds we inhabit. It’ll also be an opportunity to consider how writing emerges from encounters, conversations, memories, silences, and different forms of attention. No previous writing experience is required; conducted in English, but open to all languages. The workshop invites participants interested in poetry, storytelling, reflection, and all forms of creative experimentation. **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. *\*\* This event is part of the we are village program ‘****[Belonging versus Lonelliness](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness)****‘, with the support of the* ***[LADS](https://www.berlin.de/sen/lads/en/)****.* *Learn more about the program [here](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness).* 🔵 **Open writing circle** Fur **LGTBQIA+** **Gast in diesem Monat: Alejandro Múnera** **[Kostenlos mit Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/writing-circle/w26-2026/)** Dieser Workshop lädt LGBTQI+-Teilnehmende dazu ein, Schreiben als eine Praxis des Zuhörens zu verstehen. Gemeinsam werden wir erkunden, was es bedeutet, uns selbst, einander und der Vielheit der Welten, die wir bewohnen, aufmerksam zuzuhören.

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!\* \| \| \| \|

### This voice meditation workshop is an invitation to enter darkness together. Not to escape, but to listen, feel, and stay with what is usually avoided. We will work with voice and singing as tools for exploring grief in its different forms: grief after losing someone to death, after the end of a relationship, or after the loss of hope, future, or meaning. Not as a therapeutic intervention, but as a shared artistic and somatic experience. The workshop will be based on Eastern European folk songs about loss, mourning, and death that carry collective memory and emotional structure that allow us to access grief without explanation or narrative. In the second part, we will move into a guided voice meditation circle in complete darkness. Through sustained tones, breath, and gentle vocalization, we will create a shared sound environment that supports relaxation, stimulates the vagus nerve, and helps regulate the nervous system. The darkness allows attention to shift inward and reduces the pressure of being seen or performing. The Workshop will be led in English by singer and singing teacher [Weronika Regosz](https://www.betweenvoices.org/). Bring comfortable clothes, water, and a notebook. We are looking forward to this special workshop exploring the darkness together. Send an email to infobetweenvoices@gmail.com to save your spot! \*The workshop will be held at Ahorn Space, Hermannplatz 8, Berlin. \*The event is donation-based.

No assigned books. No pressure. Just bring whatever you’re reading, walk to the top of the tower, and watch Berlin turn golden while your pages do the same. Talk about what you are reading, and connect with fellow book lovers! How it works: We meet at the top of the Flakturm at 7:15. For the first 45 minutes, we read in silence (or near-silence) as the sun sets. Then we gather and each person shares: a highlight or passage they loved, a thought the book sparked, or just what they’ve been reading and why. Reading something that’s changing how you see the world? Bring it. Halfway through a novel you can’t put down? Tell us about it. Just started something and not sure yet? Perfect — let’s figure it out together. Why it works: Knowing you’ll share what you’ve read is the best motivation to actually read. And there’s something about watching a sunset that makes ideas feel worth talking about. Bring: a book, something to sit on, and something to drink. The view is already taken care of.

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**.

**What is EP Writers Club?** EP Writers Club is a gathering for **people who write** and want to discuss what they have written. Whether you've written essays, articles, newsletters, blog posts, research papers, book chapters, long-form articles, research notes, books in progress, or works in progress, this is a space to talk about your work and the thinking behind it. **Why Does it Exist ?** Many people write in isolation. They research alone, think alone, and publish alone. They rarely get the opportunity to discuss what they have written with other people who are actively writing. **The goal :** bring something you've written and let's discuss it. This is a space for you to talk about what you have written, what inspired the piece, what questions you are trying to answer, what you have discovered so far, and where your thinking is leading you. The piece does not need to be finished. Rough drafts, research notes, unfinished essays, book projects, and works in progress are all welcome. **Who is it for ?** If you are a writer working on fiction or non-fiction about science, technology, history, archaeology, philosophy, culture, society, business, or any other subject, you are encouraged to attend and bring your work to discuss with the group. If you prefer, you can also bring a few printed pages of your work to share with others. At the moment, the focus of the Writers Club is fiction and non-fiction writing, essays, articles, research, and books rather than poetry or spoken-word formats. **What Happens During the Event?** Participants are encouraged to share excerpts from their work, talk about their research process, discuss their writing process, explain the questions they are exploring, and invite discussion from other writers in the room. This is not a writing workshop. We won't be editing each other's work, reviewing grammar, discussing publishing strategies, or sitting quietly writing on the spot. **Participation :** The only requirement is that you have written something and are willing to discuss it. **No pitching. No passive attendance.** This gathering is for people who are actively writing. In the future, we may open the event to a larger audience interested in listening and observing the discussions.

**Narrative Identity: Culture, War, Memory, and the Search for One’s Own Life** Narrative identity means that human beings understand themselves through stories. A person does not only live from one moment to the next. They try to make sense of their life by asking: Who am I? Where do I come from? What has shaped me? What do my experiences mean? In this way, identity is not only something we have; it is also something we create and understand through a life story. This life story is never completely private. It is shaped by family, language, education, religion, culture, history, social relationships, and collective memory. People need words, symbols, traditions, and examples in order to understand themselves. A culture gives individuals the material from which they can build a meaningful narrative about their own lives. However, this process becomes difficult when cultural transmission is broken. Many societies have experienced war, colonialism, revolution, dictatorship, displacement, exile, migration, or political violence. These historical events do not only destroy cities and institutions. They can also interrupt memories, weaken traditions, divide families, and create silence between generations. As a result, people may inherit fragments of culture without fully understanding them. This problem is not limited to Europe after the World Wars. It can also be seen in many other countries and regions, such as Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Korea, Bosnia, Rwanda, and many others. Each case is different, but they all raise a similar question: How can people form a stable sense of self when the stories, values, and memories that should help them understand their lives have been damaged or divided by history? In such situations, identity can become fragmented. A person may feel caught between different narratives: family memory, national history, religion, political ideology, exile, trauma, and personal experience. Sometimes people are expected to accept an official story about who they are, while their own feelings and memories do not fit into that story. This can create alienation: the feeling that one’s own life is not fully one’s own. Narrative identity is therefore connected to the overcoming of alienation. A person begins to overcome alienation when they can understand their experiences as part of their own life story. Pain, fear, loss, migration, silence, shame, hope, and resistance are not only private emotions. They can become meaningful parts of a narrative when they are expressed, understood, and connected to a wider historical context. Art can play an important role in this process. Literature, music, film, painting, theatre, poetry, and other forms of artistic expression can give shape to experiences that are difficult to explain directly. Art can make hidden memories visible, give voice to trauma, and create a space where personal and collective history can be reinterpreted. Through art, individuals may find new ways to tell their own stories and reconnect with themselves, others, and their culture. This discussion invites a critical exploration of identity as a personal, social, cultural, and historical reality. Narrative identity is not simply about remembering the past. It is about understanding one’s life within history and finding a way to appropriate that life as one’s own. In societies shaped by war, displacement, and cultural rupture, the search for narrative identity becomes a search for meaning, and belonging. *** 📅 Event Details 🗓️ Date: Saturday, 27 Juni 2026 ⏰ Time: 14:00 📍 Location: Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin 📱 WhatsApp: For prep materials and directions (Group Chat) [Group Chat Bio KI](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H)

Welcome, readers! Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage*** **by Alfred Lansing.** A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
