Feel free to bring your own ideas, resources, exercises, or questions — we’ll collect them and let the group shape what comes next. A small donation for the rental of the space is welcome. If you have any questions upfront, feel free to reach out.

##### VIBRANT BODY ##### **with** *Soroa Lear* **for LGBTQIA+ people with experiences of migration and/or displacement** free event with **[registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w10-2026)** **VIBRANT BODY** is a guided improvisational movement practice where groove, sensation, and a commitment to bodily pleasure guide how we move. Through dancing, we step out of the head and into the body, connecting with joy, drama, heartache, grief, and our simple capacity for fun. Oriented toward felt experience rather than visual aesthetics, Vibrant Body invites a sensorial exploration of movement as it is lived. It offers migrant bodies a space to reconnect with the body as home, reclaim pleasure and agency, and transform displacement into connection and belonging through shared movement. The practice recognizes the quiet politics of bodies dancing together, especially when pleasure is centered. Open to all movement backgrounds, Vibrant Body offers an inclusive space for queer migrant identities to meet the body as it is and feel at home in their skin. **General Information** **Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with migration experiences.** **Participants**: This workshop is for all who identify as LGBTQ+ and have **experienced migration and/or displacement**.

Sie lädt dazu ein, aus dem Kopf in den Körper zu kommen und sich durch Bewegung mit Freude, Trauer und unserer Fähigkeit zu Spiel und Vergnügen zu verbinden. Im Fokus steht das körperliche Erleben statt äußere Erscheinung. **Vibrant Body** bietet einen inklusiven Raum für queere migrantische Identitäten dem Körper so zu begegnen, wie er ist, und sich in der eigenen Haut zuhause zu fühlen. **Hinweise** **Queer Bridges: Verbindungen schaffen und Ressourcen für LGBTQIA+ Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung bereitstellen.** **Teilnehmende**: Dieser Workshop richtet sich an alle, die sich als LGBTQIA+ identifizieren und Migrations- und/oder Fluchterfahrung erlebt haben.

**Ice bathing together at Treptower Park and surroundings – regular & reliable ☀️❄️** Exact time and date - we schedule together! Meetup once a week! Hello everyone, I’m looking for a like-minded person (or a small group) who would like to go ice bathing together once a week on a regular basis – preferably at Treptower Park and the surrounding area. The day and time are flexible for me; what matters most to me is reliability and consistency. I’ve been ice bathing for several years and value this practice greatly: as an energising time in nature, as a shared act of overcoming oneself, and as something that is noticeably beneficial for both body and mind. For me, it has positive effects on health, sleep, and recovery – and it’s a wonderful way to start the next week feeling light, uplifted, and content. After four years, my previous ice-bathing partner is unfortunately no longer able to join, so I’m now happy to meet new people. I’m open and enjoy coordinating flexibly. If you already have experience, or if you’re curious and would like to try it out in a committed way, feel free to get in touch. I’m looking forward to the exchange and to arriving together in the cold water. Warm regards, Till

A small NEXUS gathering built around movement rather than discussion alone. This is for high-bandwidth Mavericks who spend most of their time in conceptual thought and need some physical counterweight. Why bouldering? Because it’s deliberate: short problems, full focus, and immediate feedback. You’re on the wall, solving something tangible. The mental noise drops instantly! Conversations happen naturally in between climbs. No pressure, you move at your own pace. Some exchanges stay light. Others go deep. Both are fine. This is not about athletic achievement. It’s about presence, recalibration, and being around people who don’t require you to shrink or translate yourself. Come as you are. Try some bouldering problems. Rest when needed, and engage where it makes sense. **Bring comfortable clothes and climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available at the gym).** *Registration equals commitment. If you sign up, you show up. Read the group description first and decide consciously. For context about NEXUS, visit our* ***[website](https://thenexusformula.com)*** *and* ***[newsletter](https://news.thenexusformula.com)****.*

The Minority Report is a weekly stand-up comedy show about identity, culture, and the expat experience. Are you a minority in Europe? Did something weird, awkward, or low-key offensive happen to you this week? This is the space to vent your feelings about it. Every week, comedians Bryan Lee and Moe Singleton take the stage to unpack life as outsiders, offering their unique commentary on topics like race, masculinity, relationships, and life between cultures. Add weekly special guest comedians and “question time” with the audience, and you’ve got Berlin’s most unhinged comedy experience. 🎟️ Want to warm up before the show? Check out our comedy workshop – a beginner-friendly stand-up class with Bryan and Moe, hosted just before the show.

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!\* \| \| \| \|
