## "Ich kann nicht malen! Du möchtest malen, aber traust dich nicht? Freude an Farben, an einer kreativen Auszeit, mehr braucht es nicht zum Malen. Es ist wie einzutauchen in die eigene Farbwelt, denn es ist alles da! Da bei mir nicht gegenständlich gemalt wird, fällt es super leicht zu starten und sich den Farben und dir anzuvertrauen. Es entstehen wunderbare, farbenfrohe Bilder. Intuarts Malkurse (fast) immer Freitags ab 17.30 bis 20.00 Uhr oder Samstags ab 10.30 bis 13.00 Uhr

Singen macht nicht nur Freude, es hat auch positive Effekte auf das körperliche und seelische Wohlbefinden. Ich lade Euch ein, zusammen zur Gitarre einfache Lieder zu singen – frei von Erwartungen oder Bewertungen. Wir treffen uns nicht, um zu üben, um besser zu werden oder um zu lernen. Wir lassen einfach gemeinsam unsere Stimmen erklingen, so wie sie sind. Jede Stimme ist willkommen. Wenn Du Lust hast, bringe auch gern ein Instrument mit! Vielleicht glaubst Du, nicht singen zu können. Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass alle Menschen singen können. Zum Singen geboren werden. Trau Dich. Probiere es aus. Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis. Ohne Anmeldung Ich freue mich auf Euch!

Hey You!
On this Friday I will teach you a few basic steps of shuffling. We will break down the steps, in your time, in your style.
We will explore your own flow of your body to different kinds of music and how we can use it in shuffling. I want to create a safe space for everyone who is just starting their shuffle journey or is already on the path.

It’s a feast of Berlin death metal goodness, featuring none other than the excellently twisted Dehuman Reign shredding your psyche with sledgehammer riffs and angular, entrancing attack Get your show info here: https://hapsy.co/en/e/carnal-tomb/4b1 And make sure to join our telegram for easier event communication/to get to know us better: https://t.me/+VcOWy9Elw9I4MjIy https://t.me/+NZ9FSjMqwl43NTY6

\*\*\*\*\*\* ***For address and more details see the website.*** \*\*\*\*\*\* **This time, we’re adding a little Christmas twist to the Pausify routine!** On December 19, our focus section will take a slightly more **interactive** form — alongside the usual calm atmosphere, we will be swapping the cold Berlin evening for food, crafts, music, drinks, games and very good company 🎄✨ Join us for an evening of **Glühwein**, **Christmas snacks**, **great company,** and **live music** by an international artist, meet lovely people & enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. Also, feel free to bring your favourite board games! PS: Prefer to keep it calm? Totally fine. If you’d rather just unwind and enjoy your usual quiet focus time at Pausify, you can do that too. The focus session and discussion round will still follow the same rhythm as usual, with a chance to share what you’ve been reading or working on. 💛 ***AND HOW DOES OUR REGULAR EVENT WORK? =>*** Bring along your **current book to read** (or something **creative** to work on 📚🎨🧵) and join us for this mix of a shared focus time + discussion. \- Meet & greet \- Silent focus time \(60 min\) \- Discussion of books/ projects over drinks **Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️ * **To reserve your place, a ticket (€9,90/event) or a community pass (only €14,90/MONTH) [from the website](www.pausify.org) is required** * **Attendance here doesn’t show all sign-ups from other platforms.** ***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?*** Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*. Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.

FLOW Meditation - an active, fun & expansive shared auditory experience Schedule 19:00 – Doors open, meet and greet, snacks & drinks 20:00 – Session Start, explanation, warm up & first round - planting seeds 21:00 - Short Break & Then second round - deepening the roots 21:30 - Closing, feedback, chill out 23:00 – End Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…: • a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together… • a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like… Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 12 years of facilitating these sessions. Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments… All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. • no experience with meditation or music is needed to participate and enjoy Entrance at the door: €20 Audio samples • [https://soundcloud.com/.../flow-vocal-meditation-spring...](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fuser-164945673%2Fsets%2Fflow-vocal-meditation-spring-2023-real-magic-with-11-strangers%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkAIhcVmTyCq9IOEoXjKFCeIKeQkFhfTo1AMXpFxXqMT8MHpUrHTQFJ2aFBR_aem_79yaFhXmfnLJE77nWQlmyA&h=AT3DcPo9_IbGHKE3o5OKe12TOM95OO_fmBd8wc_R50S2YMVig4WI2tBo-ax5cTPzApnxu7H_5dIVw1piiHGQRq2TQgEKEMHhnGfAe3-mxuySWYsJ1HPgrsSFxSwYHCERTYeoq1hsWiV2MtYGipAgO5hMfbQysBVublo&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://www.baumhausberlin.de/.../11/19/proof-of-real-magic/](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.baumhausberlin.de%2Fen%2F2019%2F11%2F19%2Fproof-of-real-magic%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHrdXU7RI38vP56mGxeDBtXC8gj17fVJGXRLe2ECRmtybehh4gT8u22tnDn5G_aem_0HkowrPW3WKUviMB-7a85Q&h=AT3NMpXZxbSLOUVU2xeBiOW9xsjCVSTGlbFp39o56LiTye3vK-CCRnd63vTUS0aWyVzwt4rTX_pbJYkOmHN0ERWgJdDD-xtMkdkmC-YeVzZ-TFk21Wq98pJJEDrTb3vDTMZwZ08RlAexxisDyqX466hgciKGCZXJ0DA&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://soundcloud.com/.../improvisational-groove...](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fdas-baumhaus%2Fsets%2Fimprovisational-groove-orchestra-baumhaus-23072017%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkAIhcVmTyCq9IOEoXjKFCeIKeQkFhfTo1AMXpFxXqMT8MHpUrHTQFJ2aFBR_aem_79yaFhXmfnLJE77nWQlmyA&h=AT0NXm5bCevOQda2Odm40e9DJuFCXMsSVTS8DOQ25zXSkzYB7eU3k7vzVcY6HXDOcnzvEaomQZ2SzWpIQRVEac501usw-BIkjetSYUx-yZRN9okSxKJlOUxCJf3-I-0OsQmwM7gCr1LdqevXC2MAgJLsiMa45sxUiig&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://soundcloud.com/scott-bolden/ebb-and-flow-p2-edit-2](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fscott-bolden%2Febb-and-flow-p2-edit-2%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHp-G-Mo60REIr1iDhdIb3DVP0a_OX5IQQUhxEr5RAbNKreCaiqnIMKlg00me_aem_-bKQiefiQS-VKr4wNLpRPA&h=AT3p6CHoQWPgKUHII0AOS83Hc40yN4_a9GdikdtCuXduL3phzmrJSf8ncA0t8n5kiq2SoYVkRBhgyLD8mIHDteOiMFc3ohCiIcA4KR05FM0AAFyOWSJRiXbb2RL-qWWIcOgrk-5IoNljrrs7t2OU_V20xjhKrlouOzs&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://soundcloud.com/scott-bolden/gently-flowing-through-a?in=scott-bolden/sets/ego-session-5-nov-13-2014](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fscott-bolden%2Fgently-flowing-through-a%3Fin%3Dscott-bolden%252Fsets%252Fego-session-5-nov-13-2014%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjMwdtxoKsQYzcGwoDKJ3owd9QOfaoIRizhmsjRJztXsftDEy699HB55LUTj_aem_yP-UOtXHWrWp0AVWLu9Okg&h=AT0jb--3GfJPxU8thY_AVyzK22IEOIWhbNtGZoke1g4Cw5B2tGJhGTWnhPkLADvul-LRQZNSeuAzc9WTYr4Rw9FM_EpO_xkgWBqP7Z86caHAu1wiqlfAfJMYXdNzTYu9Hq2JhpUrIiC6VDZlWefrncnWiJG_U3-4eqU&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) Private session for groups and organizations are available upon request. contact – info@baumhausberlin.de [www.baumhausberlin.de](http://www.baumhausberlin.de/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHp-G-Mo60REIr1iDhdIb3DVP0a_OX5IQQUhxEr5RAbNKreCaiqnIMKlg00me_aem_-bKQiefiQS-VKr4wNLpRPA) Gerichtstr.23 Vh Eg 13347 Berlin

After playing, you can join us for socials with drinks and snacks at the bar area. It's recommended that you come 10 minutes early so you have time to change and find the fields. If it is your first time, 15 minutes might be even better. We play in domes that are heated up to at least 15C. You can join whatever court you like and move between courts during the event. We self-organize, so once you finish a game, you can start a rematch, mix with another court, or take a break as you see fit. Upon arrival, join the warmup happening on one of the courts.

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

**Embodied Consent** **Lernen über Grenzen und Kommunikation and communication** mit ***Karl-Henrik Sahlén*** für **LGBTQIA+** **Kostenlos mit [Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w51-2025/)** 🔵 Sich seiner Grenzen bewusst zu sein und sein Einverständnis oder Nicht-Einverständnis auszudrücken, sind wichtige Fähigkeiten im Leben, aber wir haben nicht oft die Gelegenheit, die Fähigkeit des Einverständnisses auf die gleiche Weise zu üben wie andere Fähigkeiten, wie Singen, Sport treiben oder eine Sprache lernen. Bei Consent geht es um viel mehr als ein einfaches Ja oder Nein. Wenn wir die Zustimmung dekonstruieren, entdecken wir, wie wir unsere wahren Wünsche kommunizieren können, und hören auf, Dinge zu wählen, die wir nicht wollen. Durch Diskussionen, Bewegung und Partnerspiele werden wir Werkzeuge entwickeln, um körperliche Wünsche auszudrücken und zu verhandeln und durch praktische Übungen Grenzen zu setzen. Dieser Workshop ist für Menschen aller Körpergrößen, Geschlechter und Hintergründe offen und einladend. Es handelt sich um einen nicht-sexuellen Workshop bei dem, ohne Druck, Kommunikation und Berührung geübt werden können. Es geht genauso darum, wirklich Ja zu sagen und es auch so zu meinen, wie es darum geht, Nein zu sagen! Wenn du noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen hast, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Diese Erfahrung wird dir nicht nur helfen, sich in der we are village Conmmunity zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird dich auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in dein Leben zu übertragen. Gemeinsam wollen wir eine auf Consent ausgerichtete Gemeinschaft mit gemeinsamen Werten aufbauen und dabei die Verantwortung des Einzelnen für die Einhaltung dieser Grundsätze betonen. Unser oberstes Ziel ist es, gesunde Beziehungen zu fördern und eine integrative Community für eine bessere, vernetzte Zukunft zu schaffen. **Hinweise** * **Anmeldung**: Eine verbindliche Anmeldung über unsere **[Webseite](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w26-2025)** ist erforderlich. Die Teilnehmerzahl ist auf 18 Personen begrenzt, um die Qualität des Austauschs zu gewährleisten. * **Sprache**: dieseer Workshop ist auf Deutsch durchgeführt. Dieser Workshop wird abwechselnd von einem deutschsprachigen und einem englischsprachigen Lehrer geleitet, um ein perfektes Verständnis des Themas zu gewährleisten. Bitte wähle deine Sitzung nach unserem Zeitplan. * **Kosten**: Die Veranstaltung ist kostenlos. 🔵 **Embodied Consent** **Learning about boundaries and communication** Being aware of your boundaries and expressing your consent or non-consent are essential skills in life, but we don’t often get a chance to actually practice consent skills in the same way we practice other skills, like singing, playing sports or learning a language. Consent is about much more than a simple yes or no. When we deconstruct consent, we discover how to communicate our true desires and stop choosing the things we don’t. Through discussion, movement and partner games, we will build tools to express and negotiate physical desires and set boundaries through the use of practical exercises. This workshop is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all body sizes, genders, and background. This is a non-sexual workshop, and great, low pressure situation in which to practice communication and touching. It’s as much about how to truly say yes and mean it as it is about saying no! If you’ve not yet taken a consent workshop at the village, now is the time! This experience will not only help you navigate within the we.are.village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Together, we aim to nurture a consent-centered community with shared values, emphasizing individual responsibility in upholding these principles. Our ultimate goal is to foster healthy relationships and create an inclusive community for a better, more connected future. **General Information** * **Registration**: max. 18 participants with mandatory registration **[through our website](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/embodied-consent/w51-2025)**. Limiting the number of participants is necessary to ensure the quality of the process. * **Language**: This workshop is conducted in German. To ensure a better understanding of the subject, it is led alternately by a German-speaking teacher and an English-speaking teacher. Please select the workshop that best suits your language needs. * **Cost**: Free of charge

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy.

Okay, you (at least some of you) asked for it — here it is... **"An Evening with DXO Labs (NIK Collection 8)"** For many, many years, the NIK Collection of photo editing tools has been the coveted add-on of choice for many photographers.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
