If you come to S Treptower Park: Walk along the riverside. Behind the bridge that crosses the river to an island, you'll find a car park that borders Plänterwald. Stefanie walks that path, I'll be waiting directly on the car park. A four year running tradition: We meet near S Treptower Park, walk to Plänterwald and collect wild garlic to make our own Pesto. Der **Wunderlauch** (Allium paradoxum), auch **Berliner Bärlauch** genannt, stammt ursprünglich aus dem **Kaukasus** und wurde als Zier- oder Nutzpflanze nach Mitteleuropa eingeführt. In Berlin, insbesondere im **Plänterwald**, hat er sich stark ausgebreitet und gilt dort als **invasive Art**. Wir sammeln die Blätter, waschen sie, mörsern sie mit Nüssen und Öl und essen frisches Pesto auf gutem Brot :)

Join us for our new Saturday Evening Worship with Holy Communion—a service for night owls and anyone who needs a different rhythm for the weekend. Centered on Matthew 21:1–11, Palm Sunday brings a holy collision: joy and sorrow, hope and heartbreak, the stories we tell ourselves and the hard truths we can’t avoid. The city cries “Hosanna!”—and yet the road beneath the celebration turns toward the cross. That tension isn’t just ancient history; it’s the texture of our lives. We know what it is to cling to false hopes, to watch dreams unravel, to feel grief slip into moments we wanted to be purely joyful. In church, we name this—not to drain the celebration, but to tell the truth in God’s presence. Because Christ meets us in what’s real, and God’s hope is deeper than our dashed expectations. We’ll gather in a traditional liturgy, share Holy Communion, and then enjoy warm fellowship afterward. All are welcome. We mean it: ALL.

Expats and English speakers are a big part of our city, neighborhood and our community. Walk & Talk is an opportunity for you to **meet other English-speaking people** right in your own neighborhood, without needing to travel to events at the other end of town. It is also an invitation to **get to know your local Stadtteilzentrum** Prenzlauer Berg (community center Prenzlauer Berg) and to discover more community offerings here on site! Every Sunday at 2:00pm, we meet at the Stadtteilzentrum and take a **group walk through the neighborhood** to various, interesting places. Along the way we exchange and get to know each other – stories, journeys, ideas, hobbies, tips for leisure, and more. Our meeting starts in the foyer of the Stadtteilzentrum; please be on time so you don’t get left behind! You’re welcome to announce your coming by email claudi@lifecovery.de , so we know if somebody’s missing yet. In the STZ kitchen we can **grab a coffee or a take-away tea** (we recommend to bring your own to-go cup) and get to know the space before we head out. Then we set off to explore the nearby parks or other **exciting spots in Prenzlauer Berg**. We will checkout different places week by week, so the tours will stay interesting.

**The Quiet Hour** is a two-and-a-half-hour guided journey for women — a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the power of shared presence. When we speak about healing in this space, it is not limited to one dimension. It can touch the emotional, mental, and physical layers of our experience. The intention is to create a moment where the body can soften, the mind can quiet, and we can reconnect with a deeper sense of clarity and alignment within ourselves. During the evening, we guide you through meditation, visualization, sound, and gentle energy work. The vibrations of sound help the body release tension, while the guided visualization invites you to reconnect with the life you wish to create and the deeper intentions that live within you. Together, we also explore the power of identity — the understanding that the way we see ourselves shapes the life we experience. When we reconnect with our inner strength and authenticity, we begin to move from emotional chaos toward a more grounded and stable foundation within ourselves. At **SheWhoRests**, we believe that every woman carries immense strength within her. Yet even the strongest among us needs connection — someone who believes in our dreams, understands our struggles, and holds space for our journey. That is why community and connection are an important part of this gathering. Through gentle sharing and simple exercises, we create moments where women can feel supported by one another and remember that we are not walking this journey alone. The intention of The Quiet Hour is simple: to offer a space where you can pause, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling more grounded, more understood, and more supported in your journey.

Sunday mornings are for easy 5k's! Join us on our regular Sunday runs. This run is for EVERYBODY. We created RCB with the intention of connecting runners/people with each other. We know how hard it is to meet new friends in a city full of people. With RCB we want to make that easier. Every Sunday we will meet for a easy 5 kilometers (pace vary's according to people present), with a nice coffee and some socialising afterwards. We believe that running can be much more than performance or pace. Meet-up is at Maxway Coffee, Katharina-Paulus-Straße 2 at 11am. Hopefully see you there :)
