**Instinct #20** \| Workshop with ***Lo Höckner*** for **LGBTQIA+** Free with **[registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/village-instinct-workshop/w15-2026)** **Beyond Overwhelm** is a somatic, collective workshop that links embodied practice to social change. Together, participants explore how capitalist working cultures shape our nervous systems toward chronic overwhelm and isolation—and how we can cultivate embodied resistance. **Beyond Overwhelm** relates to embodied learning circles with clear links to social change, aiming to practice together and empower their members to gain agency and take action. This workshop deliberately addresses the body and practicing together as a collective political practice, accessing the collective wisdom of a group. In this workshop, we are going to explore how working cultures under capitalism are creating a sense of overwhelm in our nervous systems, and furthermore, how we can cultivate embodied resistance. The session offers tools for coming out of overwhelm as a foundation for building relational strategies and counteracting individualization; exploring why this is necessary for political agency while refraiming activism. Through body-based practices, collective inquiry and imagination, this workshop gives space to explore the participant’s lived environment and how practices of connection, care and existing otherwise could be brought into it 🔵 **Beyond Overwhelm** ist ein somatischer, kollektiver Workshop, der verkörperte Praxis mit sozialem Wandel verbindet. Gemeinsam erkunden die Teilnehmenden, wie kapitalistische Arbeitskulturen unsere Nervensysteme in Richtung chronischer Überforderung und Isolation prägen – und wie wir verkörperten Widerstand kultivieren können. **Beyond Overwhelm** ist ein somatischer, kollektiver Workshop, der Körperarbeit mit sozialem Wandel verbindet. Wir üben gemeinsam, um wieder mehr Ruhe, Klarheit und Handlungsspielraum zu gewinnen – als Basis, um gemeinsam statt allein mit Druck und Stress umzugehen. Im Workshop schauen wir darauf, wie kapitalistische Arbeitskulturen Überforderung und Daueranspannung fördern – und was uns hilft, dem etwas entgegenzusetzen. Du bekommst praktische Tools, um aus dem Overwhelm rauszukommen, in Kontakt zu bleiben und Vereinzelung zu durchbrechen. Wir sprechen auch darüber, warum das für langfristiges Engagement und politische Handlungsfähigkeit wichtig ist. Mit körperbasierten Übungen, Austausch und einfachen Reflexionsformaten übertragen wir das auf deinen Alltag: Was bringt dich aus dem Gleichgewicht – und was stärkt dich? Und wie können Verbindung, Fürsorge und gegenseitige Unterstützung darin mehr Platz bekommen?

**The (spiritual) world is constantly sending us signs, yet in our everyday consciousness we are often completely oblivious to them. How can we become more aware of these signs and interpret them for ourselves?** Perhaps you have heard of someone who has lost a loved one and asked for **a sign from the afterlife**. There are countless accounts of such signs appearing shortly afterwards. But we can also ask our spirit guides, or the universe in general, for signs to guide us on matters where we currently lack clarity (like a tarot reading). On this afternoon, we will focus on this very topic. * To begin with, we will meet in a safe space and **embark on shamanic journeys** – without any substances, guided by the rhythm of the shamanic drum. You can ask the spiritual world specific questions and seek impulses or guidance. * **Afterwards, we will go outside together.** On a mindful walk, we will turn our gaze outwards and begin to discover signs in our surroundings, connecting them with our inner impressions. A peaceful, inspiring afternoon bridging the inner and outer worlds. **For anyone wishing to deepen their perception and discover new ways to access their own intuition.** The event is led by Isabel, a shamanic practitioner. She herself has taken out a subscription to playing cards as a sign from her spirit guides and finds cards on the street approximately every two weeks (readable like tarot cards). **💌 RSVP on Meetup does not secure your seat!** **Please register via Whatsapp/Telegram: +49 (0) 1573 72 48 15 7** or Email: [wildandsilent.berlin@gmail.com](http://wildandsilent.berlin@gmail.com%2A%2A/) **📍 Location: Samariter Kiez (you will receive the address after registration)** **💫 Energy Exchange: €30** **⏰ Doors open 1:45 PM. We will start in time.**

We usually have about 50 to 100 people at each event.** ***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.

We’ll be meeting up with fellow ***Sketchers & Artists*** to practice our ***quick sketching skills while enjoying nature,*** we’ll be walking a short ***2-3 kilometers*** into Grunewald, and along the Grunewaldsee. Nature is slowly waking up from its winter slumber, with moss, ivy and pine being the primary shades of green you’ll see. We’re taking this opportunity to do a series of ***quick sketches focused on shading***. You can draw what you choose, or even bring a camera to do some photography as well. As the trees are mostly still without their leaves, ***we’ll be focusing on details like moss covered logs, small wooden bridges, a sandbar along the lake and reeds growing at the lake shore***. You will also have the opportunity to sketch a scene of the ***Jagdschloos Grunewald***, seen best from across the lake due to ongoing construction. * If this is your first time sketching or 100th time sketching, you can find subjects that are right for you. ***You don’t need to be a professional at all!*** You should just want to practice your sketching skills while meeting new people, and hopefully sketching a bit better than you did the day before. * If this is your first time to Grunewaldsee, please be aware many locals have their dogs off leash in the area. * We will be stopping to do multiple 15 min sketches with the goal of improving our quick sketching skills. ***Quick sketching is a foundational sketching skill*** that seeks to simplify a scene while communicating the necessary details for a viewer to see and feel a scene or detail. This weekend, we’ll be focusing especially on the art of shading, and how it can be used to add a little extra pop to our sketches. These are sketching skills that can be applied across artistic mediums. * Bring your preferred drawing medium for short ***quick sketches***, and meet up with fellow nature sketchers. There are benches in the area, but you may wish to bring a small chair or cushion to make things more comfortable. * The drawings are purely for fun, and to get to know other artists and hobbyists in the area! * (This meet-up does *not* include entry to the Jagdschloos Grunewald) * Join us at 13:00 at the König-Louise-Straße Bus Stop (115, X10, N10, X83) near the Waldbaude Snack Bar (Clayallee 91, 14195 Berlin) with our host - Elizabeth, we’ll get to know one another and then set out as a group to sketch along the Grunewaldsee, it’s an out-and-back route along a lake with several opportunities for sketching, conversation and relaxing. We will sketch from 13:00-16:00 and then return to our meeting spot. ### 📲 Stay Connected Please do join our **WhatsApp / Telegram channels** for: * Event updates * Future trips & meetups * Early-bird discounts * Contests & giveaways 1.

**Curatorial Tour – Instinct#20** for **LGBTQIA+** Free event **Group exhibition** During this **curatorial tour**, we will guide you through artworks that engage with conflict as a generative force and explore “Radical Empathy” as an active, transformative practice. Together, we will consider how empathy can be learned, challenged, and reimagined through queer artistic perspectives. The tour will examine how artists create spaces that embrace difference, resist dominant narratives, and invite us to remain open to discomfort, connection, and change. Moving beyond passive understanding, these works propose empathy as a relational encounter—one that has the potential to reshape how we live with and through conflict. **instinct #20** __ viewing 02.–12. April __ **Artists** Matthias Bade Josch Hoenes & Tomka Weiß Heami Lee Paul Harfleet Owa Mesa Dylan Mitro Monika Popiel & Paweł Świerczek Lars Reimers Tejal Shah Andrey Shental __ **Performance** Ahmed El Gendy Dumama __ **Guests (workshops / panel)** Joshua Amissah Antke Engel Jan Großer Lo Höckner Mati Klitgard __ **Film** *Prinz in Hölleland* (1993) von Michael Stock __ **Cooperation** Schwules Museum Berlin Salzgeber Verleih __ **Curatorial Team** Eric LeRouge in collaboration with Neo Seefried & Kristijan Radakovic *\*The exhibition **instinct#20 Radical Empathy** serves as an artistic reflection on two we are village projects, **Conflict and Resilience** and **Queer Connect**. Bringing these earlier initiatives into dialogue, instinct#20 Radical Empathy revisits their ideas, processes, and contexts, transforming them into a new curatorial framework that invites renewed interpretation.* 🔵 Während dieser **kuratorischen Führung** begleiten wir Sie durch Werke, die Konflikt als produktive Kraft begreifen und „Radikale Empathie“ als aktive, transformative Praxis erforschen. Gemeinsam betrachten wir, wie Empathie erlernt, hinterfragt und durch queere künstlerische Perspektiven neu gedacht werden kann. Die Führung untersucht, wie Künstler\*innen Räume schaffen, die Differenz zulassen, dominante Narrative hinterfragen und dazu einladen, offen für Unbehagen, Verbindung und Veränderung zu bleiben. Über ein passives Verständnis hinaus begreifen diese Arbeiten Empathie als relationale Begegnung – eine, die das Potenzial hat, unsere Art, mit Konflikten zu leben und durch sie zu wachsen, grundlegend zu verändern. **instinct #20** __ geöffnet 02.–12.

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!\*\***

You don't have to have social media, though. ​After we meet, we first get to know each other and then create stories, improve them, record them for social media, edit them right there, and post them. ​What do you need? * ​Motivation, and ideas for stories for social media * ​A mobile phone or camera * ​All equipment you have at home for filming: External/bluetooth microphones, prop, ... * ​Editing software like CapCut or Filmora directly on your phone. ​​The event starts at 14:00 and lasts up to 2 hours. ​We'll meet at Tiergarten at the following spot: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/dzXw9NXMLAjBqBUE9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/dzXw9NXMLAjBqBUE9) ​The communication before, during and after the event happens in our Telegram group: [https://t.me/czc_berlin](https://t.me/czc_berlin?utm_source=luma).

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
