Coffee& Walk im Grunewald Hundeauslaufgebiet
**Wir treffen uns um 9:00 Uhr im Grunewald, links neben der Waldbaude (wenn man davor steht). Dort gibt es eine kleine Bank und einen kleinen Platz – ein guter Punkt, um kurz zusammenzukommen.**
**Von dort aus gehen wir gemeinsam eine ruhige Runde durch den Wald. Wer mag, bringt sich einen Kaffee mit.**
**Der Treffpunkt liegt im Hundeauslaufgebiet, die Hunde können sich dort also frei bewegen. Wichtig ist nur, dass sie sozialverträglich sind und sich im Kontakt mit anderen Hunden gut verhalten.**
**Die Idee ist einfach: ein Spaziergang mit Hunden, frische Luft, Natur und Begegnung – unkompliziert und ohne Programm.**
**Wir freuen uns auf euch!**

Comedy Therapy Express — Introvert Friendly Problem Solving Show!
**Introvert friendly show that is 50% stand-up & 50% comedians roasting your problems and giving hilarious advice (all anonymous, of course)!**
**Berlin’s Only Comedy Show where laughing at each other's problems is not only okay, but is highly encouraged!**
You write down any problems you want to share (whatever you want for us to talk about on stage really), and we solve them in a much funnier way than your therapist would have. Whether to follow our advice is debatable though...
***And worry not, we won't talk to you unless you really want for us to! This show is for everyone who would like to say something without anyone knowing it was them!***
**Where?** The cosy little comedy spot in Friedrichshain Sali.Gari\*\*!\*\*
**When?** Doors: **8:00 PM** \| Show: **8:30 PM**
**Tickets?** FREE SEAT RESERVATION —**but seats are limited, so book now!**
Come for the stand-up, stay for the therapy—just bring your problems (or a friend with worse ones).
Every show is a fresh combo of stand-up brought by the guest comedian and advice from the host **Lena Stolby** — she’s Russian, so she *really* knows about problems!
**&**
We are a free entry show, and **have been running solely thanks to the support of the audience**, so to help us keep making this world a drama free place (while being able to compensate comedians for their work accordingly) **thesuggested donation is €15!**
Lights Up! A fully improvised musical comedy.
Featuring Kaleidoscope, Berlin's premiere musical improv troupe. Laugh along as they make up a two-act Broadway-style musical on the spot, from your suggestions!
Come see the show audiences are calling "riotously funny" and "pure magic on stage!"

Quick-Sketch Nature Walk along Grunewaldsee
***Get ready to explore the beauty of nature on a quick sketch walk - no art skills needed, just your creativity and love for the outdoors!***
**To join this trip, you need to purchase your ticket from link below 👇🏽:**
[https://quick-sketch-grunewaldsee-15mar2026.eventbrite.de](https://quick-sketch-grunewaldsee-15mar2026.eventbrite.de)
### **WHY GO?**
* Join us, the afternoon of Sunday, the 15th of March the König-Louise-Straße Bus Stop near the Waldbaude Snack Bar (Clayallee 91, 14195 Berlin). 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.

Connection Games & Findhorn‑Kreistänze LIVE — Offener Sonntag
**Ein offener, gemeinsschaftlicher Sonntag**
**mit Connection Games und meditativen Findhorn‑Kreistänzen.**
Wir kommen über das gemeinsame Erleben in Kontakt:
Spielerisch, aus der Stille, in Bewegung mit Musik.
Gemeinsam schaffen wir Raum - für Präsenz,
Verbundenheit und Lebendigkeit.
**Die stillen und die bewegten Kreistänze** öffnen einen Raum,
sich nach innen und nach außen zu verbinden.
In den sich wiederholenden Bewegungen werden wir langsamer,
gegenwärtiger, und kommen ganz im Jetzt an.
Tanzend berühren wir alte Traditionen
und lassen sie in unserer Zeit weiterklingen:
lebendig, getragen, in Bewegung. (Inspiriert von Martin Scheiwiller)
**Connection Games**
öffnen einen spielerischen Erfahrungsraum für Verbindung. Wir erkunden miteinander wie wir zuhören, uns mitteilen, fühlen, spielen und wie Kontakt entsteht - ehrlich, gegenwärtig, von Moment zu Moment.
Nicht um etwas zu erreichen, sondern um wahrzunehmen, was zwischen uns lebendig ist.
**Wann:** Sonntag, 15. März
**Zeit:** 10:00–15:00 Uhr
**Wo:** Care & Share Berlin - Schöneberg

Fimlscreening in Babylon Berlin „Nanoplastics. Threat to Life“ EN/DE
EN: **Film Screening at Babylon Berlin**
**“Nanoplastics – Threat to Life”**
March 7 \| 2:00–6:30 PM
This documentary explores one of the most urgent environmental and public health issues of our time: micro- and nanoplastics — invisible, yet already present in our environment and even in our bodies.
Nanoplastics affect our health, ecosystems, and climate processes. The film brings together current scientific findings and highlights what makes nanoplastics particularly dangerous: their ability to accumulate electrostatic charge — a largely overlooked factor with far-reaching consequences.
🧬 What impact does this have on our health?
🌍 What does this mean for our future?
A global environmental problem that urgently requires societal responses.
🎬 Language: English with German subtitles
A discussion and Q&A session will follow the screening.
🎟 Free admission
📩 Please register in advance
📍 Address: Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße 30, 10178 Berlin (Mitte, opposite the Volksbühne)

DE: Filmvorführung im Babylon Berlin
„Nanoplastik – Die unsichtbare Lebensgefahr“ (Nanoplastics. Threat to Life)
Am 7.03. von 14:00–18:30 Uhr
Die Dokumentation beleuchtet eines der dringendsten Umwelt- und Gesundheitsthemen unserer Zeit: Mikro- und Nanoplastik – unsichtbar, aber längst in unserer Umwelt und sogar in unserem Körper angekommen.
Nanoplastik beeinflusst unsere Gesundheit, Ökosysteme und Klimaprozesse. Der Dokumentarfilm fasst aktuelle wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zusammen und zeigt, was Nanoplastik besonders gefährlich macht: seine Fähigkeit, elektrostatische Ladung zu akkumulieren, ein bislang wenig beleuchteter Faktor mit weitreichenden Auswirkungen.
🧬 Welche Auswirkungen hat das auf unsere Gesundheit?
🌍 Was bedeutet das für unsere Zukunft?
Ein globales Umweltproblem, das dringend gesellschaftliche Antworten braucht.
🎬 Sprache: Englisch mit deutschen Untertiteln
Im Anschluss gibt es eine Diskussions- und Fragerunde.
🎟 Der Eintritt ist frei.
📩Um kurze Voranmeldung wird gebeten.
📍 Adresse: Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße 30, 10178 Berlin (Mitte, gegenüber der Volksbühne)

Improvisation Workshop - Coming with nothing and leaving with everything
We, Mariangela Tinelli and Meltem Nil are both Solo-Improvisation performance artists, we are regularly performing in diverse venues in Berlin for years and now we are also creating workshops together!
Feel welcome to try it out if you are into improvisation or you are a poet, artist, dancer, musician or simply curious to try new things, here is our description (and feel free to ask me questions in messages):
**This time we focus on: " Leave it, to make it richer" The connection between narration and abstraction.**
*We will start by crafting transitions of movement, voice and text in our performances. Then we’ll find our ways of telling stories and working with narration. At the same time we will explore how to support, overlap and extend our talking flow with structural and abstract elements and eventually let go of the story line. Where can we go from there? What other levels and perspectives exist to enrich our creations and stories? You will find out in the workshop, where you will be guided with exercises in solos, duos and in the group.*
The workshop is open for everybody who wants to act in a different way, to do research and to shape space. Workshop language is German and English, we also speak Italian and Turkish.
Please register here with meet-up or

When: 14. March 2026 - 11.00 - 15.30 including 30 min. break

Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

A bog can serve the same functions as a traditional rain garden but has the advantages of being low maintenance, climate resilient and attractive for a much longer part of the year.
David Marsolo is a long time Wild Ones member. He has been maintaining artificial bogs at his suburban Westerville home for about 20 years. He will describe how to install a bog and fill it with many interesting native plants including pollinator and host plants
