Gender Diversity

### **Families Through Time: Past Stories, Present Lives, Future Families** Families are central to human life. They shape identity, belonging, values, and everyday experience. Across history, family forms have changed in response to economic conditions, cultural traditions, social norms, and political structures. At the same time, families deeply influence individuals’ emotional worlds, relationships, and life opportunities. This session explores how family structures have evolved over time, how they function in contemporary society, and how they may transform in the future. We will examine both structural changes and personal experiences, connecting historical developments with present realities and future possibilities. In this session, we will focus on the following topics: * **Historical family forms**: nuclear, extended, and multigenerational households and how they shaped daily life * **Changing roles across generations**: shifts in parenting, gender roles, and family responsibilities * **Social and cultural influences**: how norms, religion, and legal systems define and regulate family structures * **Contemporary family diversity**: single-parent, blended, LGBTQ+, and chosen families * **The future of families**: how technology, work patterns, migration, and social change may transform family life This will be an open and reflective conversation grounded in historical understanding, social analysis, and personal perspectives. Together, we will explore how families shape our past and present—and how we can imagine supportive and inclusive family forms for the future. **Event Details** ️ **Date:** Saturday, 7 March 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 14:00 **Location:** Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin **WhatsApp (for prep materials and directions):** [Group Chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H) ⚠️ Note: This is a WhatsApp group link.

**Dating Through Sketching** with ***Martin Dieudonné*** for **LGBTQIA+ people** **https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/queer-images/w10-2026/**[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/queer-images/w10-2026/) Join us for a unique drawing workshop focused on connection, process, and the beauty of the human form. No need for technique and let’s forget about perfection. This workshop is about observing, feeling, and meeting each other through sketching. Participants will work in pairs, taking turns drawing each other on large sheets of paper. Guided by the artist, you are invited to let your body move and your lines flow. This is a relaxed and open space. We encourage a physical and sensual approach to the drawing, allowing you to build a connection with your partner through art. Showing skin is welcome, and while nudity is a possibility for those who feel comfortable, it absolutely is not mandatory. You are free to participate exactly as you wish. The goal is simple: to slow down, appreciate the natural beauty of our bodies, and connect with another person through the simple act of looking and drawing. The result of the sketches are not what we are looking for here, the connection is. **General Information** Language: we’ll speak English and/or German, depending on the needs of the group. Cost: free event with registration \*\* This event is part of the we are village program ‘Belonging versus Lonelines‘, with the support of LADS. Learn more about the program here. 🔵 Begleite uns zu einem einzigartigen Zeichenworkshop, der sich auf Verbindung, Prozess und die Schönheit des menschlichen Körpers konzentriert. Technik ist nicht erforderlich – und Perfektion dürfen wir ganz vergessen. In diesem Workshop geht es ums Beobachten, Fühlen und darum, einander durch das Zeichnen zu begegnen. Die Teilnehmenden arbeiten in Paaren und zeichnen sich abwechselnd auf großen Papierbögen. Begleitet von der Künstler\*in seid ihr eingeladen, euren Körper in Bewegung zu bringen und eure Linien frei fließen zu lassen. Dies ist ein entspannter und offener Raum. Wir ermutigen zu einem körperlichen und sinnlichen Zugang zum Zeichnen, sodass ihr über die Kunst eine Verbindung zu eurem Gegenüber aufbauen könnt. Haut zu zeigen ist willkommen, und Nacktheit ist für diejenigen möglich, die sich damit wohlfühlen – sie ist jedoch keinesfalls verpflichtend. Ihr könnt genau so teilnehmen, wie es sich für euch richtig anfühlt. Das Ziel ist einfach: langsamer werden, die natürliche Schönheit unserer Körper wertschätzen und durch den einfachen Akt des Betrachtens und Zeichnens mit einer anderen Person in Kontakt treten. Nicht das Ergebnis der Skizzen steht im Vordergrund, sondern die Verbindung. **Hinweise** **Teilnehmende**: Dieser Workshop richtet sich an alle, die sich als LGBTQIA+ identifizieren. **Sprache**: Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. **Kosten**: kostenlos mit Anmeldung. *\*\* Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil unseres Programms ‚****[Gemeinsam statt einsam](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness)****‚, unterstützt von der* ***[LADS](https://www.berlin.de/sen/lads/)****.* *Erfahre mehr über das Programm [hier](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness).*

Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or not so talented? Are you tired of insecure bros who only want to show off their skills? **Then [Lousy & Lazy Football](https://www.instagram.com/landlsc/) is the right thing for you!** We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (+18) and nationalities welcome. **Feel free to join the waitlist even if it seems long - sometimes we make the event larger and play on two pitches (24 players, four teams) or even three pitches (36 players, six teams), depending on demand.** Note: **We do not allow high-studded football boots during our sessions.** To avoid injuries, we only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/). Rules for lazy & lousy football 1. **Don’t be competitive** 2. **No hard tackling/sliding challenges** 3. **Support new players by giving them the time and space to play the ball** 4. **Don’t dribble past multiple players (trying to take on a player is fine but at no point should you be trying to dribble past multiple players).** 5. **Don’t close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.** 6. **Rotate the goalkeeper** 7. **Be a teamplayer** Waiting list: This meetup is for members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club. If you want to try out our lousy & lazy sport events, you can do a trial run (Probetraining).

Resonant Connections is a calm, 75-minute sound experience held in the quiet turning of the season — the space between winter and spring, when energy begins to return, but the body may still be slowly emerging. Guided by immersive natural soundscapes and gentle live sound, the session invites deep listening and rest. Sound is used as a way of creating space, supporting the nervous system and helping attention soften, so clarity and understanding can arise without force. This is a time for listening before action, allowing what is present to be felt before movement takes flight. After the soundbath, the session closes with a short period of private journaling, offering a quiet moment to reflect on what may be beginning to stir, and what still needs care and time. There is no pressure to share, interpret, or set intentions — only an invitation to notice and to rest. No previous experience is needed. Everything is optional, and you’re welcome to simply lie down, listen, and be supported by sound. Designed for small groups, this gathering offers a gentle pause and a sense of connection during a season of transition. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

**A place to meet sound, without maps** Facilitated by **Vesti Gium (they/them)** Everyone enters as they are. No score. No threshold of skill. We follow the room, moment by moment— listening, nudging, letting the music find itself. A breath, a shoelace, a laugh, a footstep— each carries weight. Silence is welcomed; noise is celebrated. There are no wrong directions here. We practise a listening that reaches outward and inward: to ourselves, to one another, to the space we shape together. That is where the music begins. * 🌀 Bring a voice, an object, an instrument, a movement—or nothing at all. * ✨ **Priority given to FLINTA folks and people with migration background.** * 🎧 No experience needed.

**A 3-part embodied dance journey for women** Part 1: 11.01.2026 Part 2: 08.03.2026 Part 3: 12.04.2026 **WORKSHOP 2 – SPINE (Spine Fluidity – Moving with Life)** Donation based \| Only for women \| 08\.03\.2026 \| 14:30 – 17:00 \| MahaYoga Zentrum Building on the essence of **Devadasi – The Sacred Art of Temple Dance**, this series invites you into a deeper, guided exploration of your feminine body. Over three workshops, we journey through **hips, spine, and heart** – key gateways of feminine energy, sensuality, emotional flow, and presence. Each session stands on its own and together they form a coherent path of embodiment, soft activation, and inner awakening. This series is for women who long to: * feel more alive and at home in their bodies * reconnect with sensuality and softness * move beyond the mind and into felt experience * explore feminine energy in a grounded, respectful way * time to meet and share in a circle of women This is a **safe, welcoming space** for all women – all ages, all body types. Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely and feel beautiful. Come as you are, leave feeling **soft, alive, and deeply connected** to your feminine essence. **About Workshop 2** The spine is the central axis of the body – a living pathway for movement, expression, and inner vitality. In this special **International Women’s Day** workshop, we explore fluid, wave-like movements that awaken flexibility, vitality, and softness along the spine. Through slow, continuous sequences inspired by natural rhythms, we gently mobilize the back, shoulders, and entire body. The movements are circular, serpentine, and grounded – encouraging the spine to move freely and the body to reconnect with its natural flow. This session supports you in: * releasing stiffness and control * improving mobility and coordination in a gentle way * reconnecting with sensual, natural movement You are invited to move at your own pace, listening to your body and allowing sensation to guide you. There is no choreography to perform and nothing to get right – only an exploration of how your body wants to move when given time and space. The workshop concludes with a **Full Yogic Relaxation**, allowing the nervous system to settle and the experience to integrate deeply. This is an invitation to move with life rather than against it – softly, fluidly, and with awareness. **Address** Deutsche Akademie für traditionelles Yoga e. V. MahaYoga Zentrum Brunnenstr. 147 10115 Berlin (Directly at underground station U Bernauer Str. U8 [elevator exit])

Es findet in Form von Einzelbegegnungen statt, bei denen sich die Kommunikation hauptsächlich auf die Körpersprache und weniger auf den verbalen Ausdruck stützt. Das Ritual kann von einem Tanz mit minimalem Körperkontakt über gemütliches Kuscheln und spielerisches Herumrollen bis hin zu energiegeladenen Kämpfen reichen, bei denen Kraft und Beweglichkeit erprobt werden. Jeder Playfight wird von den beiden beteiligten Personen bestimmt und kann jederzeit beendet werden durch ein Wort oder durch einen Doppelklopfer. Bevor das eigentliche Ritual beginnt, gibt es eine Aufwärmphase und eine Erklärung der Regeln. **Hinweise** Trage bequeme Kleidung, in der du dich frei bewegen kannst. Lange Hosen sind ratsam, um Verletzungen an den Knien zu vermeiden. Auf Schmuck sollte verzichtet werden. **Sprache**: Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. **Kosten**: Diese Veranstaltung zählt zu den zwei kostenfreien Veranstaltungen pro Monat für Mitglieder. **Member werden**: Als Mitglied unterstützt du nicht nur unser Projekt, sondern du erhältst gleichzeitig monatlich Zugang zu zwei kostenfreien Veranstaltungen. Mehr Infos **[hier](https://wearevillage.org/mitgliedschaft/).** The Playfight Ritual is a gathering that provides a safe space for queer individuals to connect physically within a supportive community. It takes the form of one-on-one encounters, where communication relies mainly on body language rather than verbal expression. The ritual can range from a dance with minimal physical contact to cozy cuddling and playful rolling around, or even energetic fights that explore strength and agility. Each playfight ‘belongs’ to the two individuals engaging in it and can be ended at any time by a word or by double-tapping your partner or the floor. There will be a warm-up phase and an explanation of the rules before the actual ritual starts. **General information** Wear comfortable clothes in which you can move freely. Long trousers are advised to avoid mattress burns on your knees. Jewellery is not recommended. **Language**: We’ll speak English and/or German, depending on the needs of the group. **Cost**: This event is one of two free events included each month in the membership programme. **Become a member**: As a member, you not only support our project, but you also get access to two free events every month.

Hey lovely humans! ✨ We're gathering for an afternoon dedicated to the most important relationship you'll ever have: the one with yourself. This workshop is about pausing, tuning in, and remembering what makes you, you. Through gentle reflection, creative expression, and a room full of women lifting each other up – we'll create space to reconnect with ourselves in a way that actually stays with us. We'll start by setting intentions for what you need, then move through a mix of embodiment exercises, a creative activity (self-love collage), and a simple closing ritual to help you feel more grounded and connected to yourself. No prep needed. No "right way" to do it. Just you, showing up for yourself. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

Columbus libraries: [https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3262835](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3262835) Location: [Knotty Pine Brewing](https://www.knottypinebrewing.net/) [Menu, scroll to the bottom](https://www.knottypinebrewing.net/menus-1) Book summary: Adunni is a fourteen-year-old Nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education. This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard
