Felting

In this Yin practice, we take time to pause, soften, and simply be. With the support of long-held, floor-based postures, the body gradually opens, accessing the deeper layers of fascia and energy pathways. We allow gravity to guide the process. This subtle work calms the nervous system, nurtures stillness, and encourages quiet reflection. It's an opportunity to release tension from both body and mind, and to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level. The class is led in English and is open to all levels. .

This late-evening class is a deeply restorative experience designed to help participants transition from the stimulation of the day into profound rest. The session blends gentle grounding practices, guided yoga Nidra or visualization journeys, and immersive sound healing using Tibetan bowls, voice, and subtle resonance. The intention is to calm the nervous system, release mental tension, and support better sleep and emotional integration. This class is held in English. Bring your own mat or use one of ours. Please arrive 10 minutes early to settle in. The door will be closed once class begins, and late entry will not be possible. The Art.OM studio is located on the ground floor, just to the left in the hallway when you enter the building.

**Open Writing Circle** **Confessionals: Writing Through Shame and Fear of Being Seen by Djibril Sall** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/writing-circle/w08-2026/)** For **LGBTQIA+** This writing workshop is an invitation to work with confession as a practice of release—something that you do for yourself and not under an authority. Together, we’ll use writing to move through shame and the fear of being seen, transforming what has been held tightly or silently into something you can shape, hold, and let go of. This is a space for experimentation, care, and risk, where confession becomes a tool for self-recognition rather than self-erasure. **Words and stories reside within all of us, waiting to be discovered.** Our monthly Open Writing Circle invites people with all levels of writing experience to explore their creativity and imagination. In each session, one of Berlin’s many exceptional writers, poets, artists, or curators will create a vibrant and collective learning experience. Whether you’re interested in fiction, memoir, non-fiction, or poetry, this supportive space encourages you to uncover the words within you. We’ll draw upon techniques used in writing workshops to unleash your innate talent in a collaborative environment that will allow for a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights. This workshop aims to create an affirming, playful and empowering space for queer people to explore, express and celebrate their identities as well as to provide a platform for the stories of the LGBTQIA+ community to be shared, heard and valued. **Biba Oskar Nass** (they/them), a trans boy and wordsmith, writes prose and poetry as a freelance artist. In their work, they address queer history and remembrance. Biba Oskar Nass is also a workshop host and co-publishes the queer literary magazine Transcodiert, among other texts. **General information** **⁠Level**: No previous experience is necessary. **Language**: while the group is primarily conducted in English, you are welcome to write in any language you feel comfortable with. ⁠We also invite all writers to consider leading a future session—please contact us for more information 🔵 **Open Writing Circle** **[Kostenlos mit Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/writing-circle/w08-2026/)** For **LGBTQIA+** **Gast in diesem Monat: Djibril Sall** **Confessionals: Schreiben durch Scham und die Angst, gesehen zu werden** Dieser Schreibworkshop lädt dazu ein, das Geständnis als persönliche Praxis der Befreiung zu nutzen, das für sich selbst und nicht unter einer Autorität geschieht. Gemeinsam werden wir das Schreiben nutzen, um Scham und die Angst, gesehen zu werden, zu durchqueren und das, was bisher festgehalten oder verschwiegen wurde, in etwas zu verwandeln, das man formen, halten und loslassen kann. Dies ist ein Raum für Experimentieren, Fürsorge und Risiko, in dem das Geständnis zu einem Werkzeug der Selbsterkenntnis statt der Selbstverleugnung wird. **Hinweise** **Level:** Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse erforderlich. **Sprache**: Während die Gruppe hauptsächlich auf Englisch durchgeführt wird, bist du herzlich eingeladen, in jeder Sprache zu schreiben, in der du dich wohlfühlst. Wir laden außerdem alle Schreibenden ein, eine zukünftige Sitzung zu leiten – bitte kontaktiere uns für weitere Informationen **[events@wearevillage.org]()**

Easy Sunday Run at Tempelhofer Feld 🏃‍♂️ Hi everyone! I’ll be doing a relaxed run this Sunday at 11:00 AM at Tempelhofer Feld while training for the Berlin Marathon. Anyone is welcome to join, no matter the level — the goal is just to run together and have a good time. If people feel like it, we can also grab a beer together afterwards. 🍻 Looking forward to meeting you!

**Sensual Touch Lab: Breath and Sound** with **Markus Bohlmann** for **GBTQ men\*** **[Book a Ticket](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/sensual-touch/w12-2026)** **Member: 15 €** **Regular: 30 €** We open up a space for a deep arrival in our own bodies. Through loving-connected breathing and mindful and conscious touch of ourselves and others, an invitation arises to feel held, connected, and safe. We open a space to connect deeply with our bodies and one another. Together, we begin by acknowledging any discomfort we may carry around nudity, intimacy, and being truly seen by others. We then explore what it feels like to be touched by someone else in a mindful, caring way — to be held, witnessed, caressed, and supported. We take our time to notice our responses: where we soften, where we tense up, where we long for connection. Each experience is welcomed as valid. Gradually, we shift toward becoming our own witness and our own allies. We cultivate a loving, connected presence with ourselves — meeting our desires and vulnerabilities with compassion. We will be guided by the breath and sound as anchors for awareness. Touched by the sound of chimes and our own words that answer to our needs at the moment, we are surrounded by a shared field of presence and care, bathing in a soundscape of self-compassion — resting in intimate, authentic connection with ourselves and with other GBTQ\* men. **What is Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ Men\*?** Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ Men\* is a monthly workshop where we aim to create a space for sensual closeness and playful encounters. Embodied, somatic experiences that appreciate our full-bodied nature. Using sensuality as an approach to explore new ways of dealing with our own fears or patterns related to nudity, intimacy, and touch. We invite you to explore, communicate, and possibly expand your personal boundaries within a framework of mutual respect and consent. This opens up the opportunity to experience the power of touch, sensation, and non-verbal interpersonal connection. Each event will be a guided process, which will have a special touch depending on the theme and background of the facilitator\*, whether it be bodywork and touch, somatics and intimacy, or something else. These short workshops may include nudity, partner exercises or close physical interactions. **Benefits:** **•** Creates valuable shared experiences among GBTQ men\* through closeness, empathy, and connection. **•** Combats feelings of isolation and loneliness. **•** Promotes self-love and acceptance of one’s body and identity **•** Provides a safe, judgement-free space to explore personal boundaries **•** Contributes to overall well-being and supports the ability to build lasting relationships **•** Can serve as a healthy coping mechanism and reduce the risk of substance abuse **General Information** • This format is for all queer men\* / queer masculinities interested in experiencing touch in a safe(r) setting. • Please pay attention to personal hygiene. • Bring a sheet and towel to cover cushions, mats, or massage tables. • This event will be in German and/or English depending on participant needs. • This event is also available at a reduced member price – but not part of the two-free-monthly-events benefit. 🔵 Wir öffnen einen Raum für ein tiefes Ankommen im eigenen Körper. Durch liebevolles, präsentes Atmen sowie achtsame und bewusste Berührung – uns selbst und anderen gegenüber – entsteht eine Einladung, sich gehalten, verbunden und geborgen zu fühlen. Wir schaffen einen Raum, der es uns erlaubt, tief mit unserem Körper und miteinander in Verbindung zu treten. Gemeinsam beginnen wir unserem Unbehagen bewusst Raum zu geben, das wir möglicherweise in Bezug auf Nacktheit, Intimität und das Gefühl, von anderen gesehen zu werden, empfinden. Anschließend erforschen wir, wie es sich anfühlt, von jemand anderem auf achtsame, fürsorgliche Weise berührt, wahrgenommen und unterstützt zu werden. Wir nehmen uns Zeit, unsere Empfindungen wahrzunehmen: wo wir im Körper weicher werden, wo wir uns anspannen, wo wir uns nach Verbindung sehnen. Jede Erfahrung ist willkommen. Dann tauchen wir in die Erfahrung ein, uns selbst zu halten und zu umsorgen, für uns selbst da zu sein. Wir kultivieren eine liebevolle, verbundene Präsenz mit uns selbst – und begegnen unseren Wünschen und Verletzlichkeiten mit Mitgefühl. Wir lassen uns hierbei vom Atem und Klang der Koshi Chimes als Anker für das Bewusstsein leiten. Auch der Klang unserer eigenen Worte~~n~~, die auf unsere Bedürfnisse in diesem Moment eingehen, trägt zu einem gemeinsamen Feld der Präsenz und Selbstfürsorge bei. Wir sind eingeladen in einer intimen, authentischen Verbindung mit uns selbst und mit anderen GBTQ\*-Männern zu ruhen. **Was ist Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ Männer\*?** Sensual Touch Lab Series für GBTQ Männer\* ist ein monatlicher Workshop, bei dem wir einen Raum für sinnliche Nähe und spielerische Begegnungen schaffen möchten. Verkörperte, somatische Erfahrungen, die unsere Gesamtkörperlichkeit wertschätzen. Sinnlichkeit als Zugang, neue Wege im Umgang mit unseren eigenen Ängsten oder Mustern in Bezug auf Nacktheit, Intimität und Berührung erkunden. Wir laden dich ein, deine persönlichen Grenzen in einem Rahmen gegenseitigen Respekts und Einvernehmens zu erforschen, zu kommunizieren und gegebenenfalls zu erweitern. Dabei eröffnet sich die Möglichkeit, die Kraft von Berührung, Empfindung und nonverbaler, zwischenmenschlicher Bezogenheit zu erfahren. Jedes Event wird ein geführter Prozess sein, der je nach Thema und Hintergrund der Kursleitenden\* eine besondere Note hat, sei es Körperarbeit und Berührung, Somatik und Intimität oder etwas anderes. Diese Kurzworkshops können Nacktheit, Partnerübungen sowie körperlich nahe Interaktionen beinhalten. **Vorteile** **•** Schafft wertvolle, gemeinsame Erfahrungen unter GBTQ Männer\* durch Nähe, Empathie und Verbundenheit **•** Bekämpft Gefühle der Isolation und Einsamkeit **•** Fördert Selbstliebe und Akzeptanz des eigenen Körpers und der Identität **•** Bietet einen sicheren, urteilsfreien Raum zur Erforschung persönlicher Grenzen **•** Trägt zum allgemeinen Wohlbefinden bei und unterstützt die Fähigkeit, dauerhafte Beziehungen aufzubauen **•** Kann als gesunder Bewältigungsmechanismus dienen und das Risiko von Substanzmissbrauch reduzieren **Hinweise** • Dieses Format ist für alle queeren Männer\*/Männlichkeiten, die Berührung in einer einvernehmlichen, unterstützenden Atmosphäre erfahren möchten. • Bitte lege Wert auf persönliche Hygiene • Bringe zum Abdecken von Kissen, Matten oder Massageliegen ein Laken und ein Handtuch mit • Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen • Dieses Event ist auch zu einem ermäßigten Mitgliederpreis erhältlich – aber kein Bestandteil der drei kostenlosen monatlichen Mitgliederveranstaltungen

This nourishing 60-minute session blends a gentle, feel-good yoga flow with immersive sound healing to help you move, breathe, and soften back into yourself. We begin with a slow, intuitive flow designed to release tension, awaken the body, and create a sense of ease and fluidity. Movements are accessible and adaptable, focusing on grounding, opening the heart, and reconnecting to natural rhythm rather than pushing or striving. Breath awareness guides each transition, allowing the practice to feel both energizing and calming. As the body settles, the session gradually transitions into a deeply restful sound journey. Using instruments such as singing bowls, chimes and voice gently wash through the nervous system, supporting relaxation, emotional release, and creative flow. You're invited to rest, receive, and simply be. This class is ideal if you're seeking: * A gentle yet uplifting movement practice * Stress relief and nervous system reset * A sense of grounding, creativity, and embodied calm * A mindful experience that blends movement, sound, and presence No prior yoga or sound healing experience is needed. Come as you are - curious, tired, inspired, or simply in need of a pause. ✨ Move. Feel. Rest. Reset. ✨ Bring your own mat or use one of ours.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
