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.

INNER GUIDANCE - a transformative Movement workshop for women/sisters
ENGLISH:
**INNER GUIDANCE**
**A Transformative Movement Workshop**
**for all beautiful women / sisters**
**Grow · Unfold · Integrate**
The Inner GUIDANCE Workshop is an embodied journey into your inner knowing, wisdom, and clarity. Through free-form movement, dance, and gently guided impulses and intention-setting, you are invited to reconnect with your body as a source of guidance, truth, and trust.
In a supportive and non-judgmental space, we move to alchemize inner obstacles, awaken joy in the body, express a freer, new version of ourselves, and return to our inner center. Gratitude becomes a shared practice, raising our frequency, cultivating unity within ourselves and with others, and opening us to authentic human connection—expressed through the language of our moving bodies and hearts.
This workshop creates space to listen deeply to your inner knowing via the body in movement. You will be supported to just be you in the present moment, allowing and discovering change, strengthening self-trust. Besides dancing mostly for yourself there will be also some partner and group invitations in movement which you can join or not and some physical touch involved, of course all volunteerly. We will end with an relaxing integration time and little sound bath.
No prior dance experience is required. There is no right or wrong way to move—only the willingness to connect with your inner compass: your body.
Move towards your true self, guided from within.
Come just as you are and wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement.
**Energy exchange:** 20 Euro (normal), 15 Euro (reduced)
The session may be held in German and/or English, depending on the needs of the participants.
**Please register due limited spaces via email, PM, Meet Up message latest till Friday 05.06.2026:**
EMAIL: soulbalance@mail.de
I look forward to holding space for you.

DEUTSCH:
**INNER GUIDANCE**
**Ein transformativer Bewegungs-Workshop**
**für Frauen / Schwestern**
**Grow - Unfold ·- Integrate**
Der Inner GUIDANCE Workshop ist eine verkörperte Reise zu deinem inneren Wissen, deiner Klarheit und Intuition. Durch freie Bewegung, Tanz und sanft angeleitete Impulse verbindest du dich wieder mit deinem Körper als Quelle von Führung, Vertrauen und Wahrheit.
In einem wertfreien und unterstützenden Raum bewegen wir uns, um innere Blockaden zu wandeln, Freude im Körper zu aktivieren und eine neue, freiere Version von uns selbst auszudrücken – und in unsere innere Mitte zurückzukehren. Dankbarkeit begleitet uns dabei als Praxis, um unsere Schwingung zu erhöhen und echte Verbindung mit uns selbst und anderen über dem Körper und unserem Herzen zu erleben.
Dieser Workshop schafft Raum, um über den sich bewegenden Körper tiefer auf deine innere Weisheit zu hören. Du wirst darin unterstützt, einfach du selbst im gegenwärtigen Moment zu sein, Veränderung zuzulassen und zu entdecken sowie dein Vertrauen in dich selbst zu stärken. Neben dem Tanzen für dich selbst wird es auch Einladungen zu Partner- und Gruppenübungen in Bewegung geben, an denen du teilnehmen kannst oder nicht. Dabei kann es auch zu körperlicher Berührung kommen – selbstverständlich alles freiwillig. Zum Abschluss gibt es eine entspannende Integrationszeit und ein kleines Sound Bath.
\- Keine Tanzerfahrung nötig\.
\- Kein Richtig oder Falsch\.
\- Nur du\, dein Körper und dein innerer Kompass\.
\- Bewege dich auf dein wahres Selbst zu – geführt von innen\.
Komm einfach so, wie du bist, und bring bequeme Kleidung mit, in der du dich gut bewegen kannst.
Die Session kann auf Deutsch und/oder Englisch gehalten werden, je nach den Bedürfnissen der Movers.
**Energieausgleich**: 20 Euro (normal), 15 Euro (reduziert)

Engaging in men’s work is the new way to forge friendships while being open-minded to personal growth. Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work.
Open Men’s Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback.
We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet.

Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream! Their menu uses made-from-scratch recipes in an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, crepes, waffle sticks, specialty coffee & espresso, and more! Their specialty shakes are as delicious as they are over-the-top and they offer an extensive vegan menu! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
