Gifted Adults and Children

When I first started strength training, I was intimidated, confused, and nowhere near consistent. I kept thinking it would be easier if I just had other women around me going through the same thing. So I'm starting exactly that — for women who are beginner - intermediate lifters and want to keep going. I am hosting the first Walk & Lift: Grab a coffee, take a walk, then hit the gym together with other women. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **What this is** We meet in front of a cafe, walk for about 40 minutes, and end at a gym nearby. Want to train after? Great, work on your own program or buddy up with someone. Prefer to just do the walk and grab a coffee? Also great. What's important is that you are surrounded by other women who are interested in getting stronger! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Where we meet:** * We meet at **19grams Alex** * We walk to and gym at **Holmes Place Gendamenmarkt** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **What to bring** * Comfy shoes and your energy! * Joining the gym session after the walk? You'll need a membership that gives you access to **Holmes Place Gendamenmarkt** (Urban Sports Club or Holmes Place membership both work). **Don't have one? The first person to sign up without a membership gets a free guest pass on us.** Holmes Place Gendamenmarkt also has a day pass for 19.90 EUR which you can access [here](https://www.holmesplace.de/probetraining?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=18141227946&gbraid=0AAAAADFyQfnrrPl5E_GMr06L8jrFZENG9&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7IjOBhDyARIsAFzrWQyFSHEJ3H3e106_AgNL3_lDynQ9UxNDQ5gO8-m-77xMgSEO1geQfD8aAu8sEALw_wcB&utm_source=luma). \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Important** * **Only for women** * **Free to attend**, but please only register if you’re fully committed to coming.

**Out with the old, in with the "new-you"—through reuse instead of consumption.** As the seasons change, so do our interests and needs. Join us for an assembly in the form of a community swap meet, organized by and for neurodivergent folks to promote sustainability and community care. **The idea is simple:** maybe you want to clear out your closets, or maybe you just want to meet us at the park to see if anything interests you. Both are perfectly okay! Whether you come with a bag full of treasures or arrive empty-handed just to hang out and browse, you are welcome here. **Info & Accessibility:** * **Date/Time:** Saturday, 25th of April, 14:00 - 17:00 (**IF IT RAINS; WE WILL RESCHEDULE**) * **LOCATION:** The meetup map is not acurate, go to this google map link and find th neurodivergent sign: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/u9rygDgU8ADDR6Ec6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/u9rygDgU8ADDR6Ec6) * **Access:** accessible for people with reduced mobility. **Bring items you no longer need (If You Want To), such as:** * 📚 Books, comics, and zines * 🧩 Puzzles, board games, and fidget toy * 👕 Clean clothing, hats, and accessories * 🖍️ Art supplies and stationary * 🏠 Housewares or decor * 🧦 Cozy items (blankets, soft socks) **How It Works (It's Simple):** * **Bring a Blanket or small towel:** lay out your items in front of you. * **Food & drinks to share** (optional) * **Open Trust System:** Once your items are on your blanket, they are considered "up for grabs." * **Browse Freely:** Get up, walk around, and explore what others have brought. If you see something you like on someone else's blanket, feel free to take it—even if they aren't there. * **Enjoy:** Find your next favorite thing, or simply enjoy the sunshine and the company. * **What's left?** Anything unclaimed at the end must be taken back home. **The Vibe:** This is a low-pressure event for neurodivergent people. There's no need to hover over your items or worry about making conversation. You are welcome to wander, stim, sit quietly with a book you just found, or take a break on your blanket whenever you need. **Community Disclaimer** This event is a community-led initiative organized by neurodivergent volunteers who dedicate their time, energy, and resources to create a welcoming space. We strive to make our events as accessible as possible—both financially and in terms of neurodivergent needs—but we also have our own limitations. We kindly ask for your understanding and empathy, as we rely on the support and cooperation of all participants to foster a healthy, inclusive environment. **Come swap, find your next special interest, refresh your space, and contribute to a more sustainable community**

Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 11:15. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. We often have a large waiting list, and not updating your RSVP or not showing up if you do RSVP yes means that others miss out. We also ask that if you do change your RSVP, do it with reasonable notice. Thanks! We typically take over all of the cafe, but try to share tables if you can to allow space for other customers. If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

We've turned the entire learning experience into ***Comprehensible Input* through both simplified and traditional manga** with support for **Zhuyin**, **Pinyin**, **flashcards**, **audio**, **direct translation**, an integrated dictionary. We also specifically design region-specific language to reflect real-life usage in both **mainland Chinese Mandarin** and **Taiwanese Mandarin**, allowing you to naturally compare and explore the differences between the two, so you don’t end up saying something that makes perfect sense in Beijing, but gets you funny looks in Taipei 😏.

**Embodied Consent** mit **Kuem** für **LGBTIQA+** Kostenlos mit **[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w17-2026-2/)** **Lernen über Grenzen und Kommunikation** Wenn Sie noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen haben, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Dieser Workshop ist sehr zu empfehlen für alle, die unser Projekt regelmäßig besuchen oder an einem unserer Workshops teilnehmen möchten. Diese Erfahrung wird Ihnen nicht nur helfen, sich in der we.are.village-Community zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird Sie auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in Ihr Leben zu übertragen. Sich seiner Grenzen bewusst zu sein und sein Einverständnis oder Nicht-Einverständnis auszudrücken, sind wichtige Fähigkeiten im Leben, aber wir haben nicht oft die Gelegenheit, die Fähigkeit des Einverständnisses auf die gleiche Weise zu üben wie andere Fähigkeiten, wie Singen, Sport treiben oder eine Sprache lernen. Bei Consent geht es um viel mehr als ein einfaches Ja oder Nein. Wenn wir die Zustimmung dekonstruieren, entdecken wir, wie wir unsere wahren Wünsche kommunizieren können, und hören auf, Dinge zu wählen, die wir nicht wollen. Durch Diskussionen, Bewegung und Partnerspiele werden wir Werkzeuge entwickeln, um körperliche Wünsche auszudrücken und zu verhandeln und durch praktische Übungen Grenzen zu setzen. Dieser Workshop ist für Menschen aller Körpergrößen, Geschlechter und Hintergründe offen und einladend. Es handelt sich um einen nicht-sexuellen Workshop bei dem, ohne Druck, Kommunikation und Berührung geübt werden können. Es geht genauso darum, wirklich Ja zu sagen und es auch so zu meinen, wie es darum geht, Nein zu sagen! Wenn Sie noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen haben, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Diese Erfahrung wird Ihnen nicht nur helfen, sich in der we are village Community zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird Sie auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in Ihr Leben zu übertragen. Gemeinsam wollen wir eine auf Consent ausgerichtete Gemeinschaft mit gemeinsamen Werten aufbauen und dabei die Verantwortung des Einzelnen für die Einhaltung dieser Grundsätze betonen. Unser oberstes Ziel ist es, gesunde Beziehungen zu fördern und eine integrative Community für eine bessere, vernetzte Zukunft zu schaffen. 🔵 **Embodied Consent** with **Kuem** for **LGBTIQA+** Free **[Registration Required](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/embodied-consent/w17-2026-2/)** **Learning about boundaries and communication**. If you have not yet attended a workshop on Consent in the Village, now is the time! This workshop is highly recommended for anyone wishing to visit our project on a regular basis, or to attend one of our workshops. This experience will not only help you navigate within the we.are.village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Being aware of your boundaries and expressing your consent or non-consent are essential skills in life, but we don’t often get a chance to actually practice consent skills in the same way we practice other skills, like singing, playing sports or learning a language. Consent is about much more than a simple yes or no. When we deconstruct consent, we discover how to communicate our true desires and stop choosing the things we actually don’t want. Through discussion, movement and partner games, we will build tools to express and negotiate physical desires and set boundaries through the use of practical exercises. This workshop is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all body sizes, genders, and background. This is a non-sexual workshop, and great, low pressure situation in which to practice communication and touching. It’s as much about how to truly say yes and mean it as it is about saying no! If you have not yet attended a workshop on Consent in the Village, now is the time! This experience will not only help you navigate within the we are village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Together, we aim to nurture a consent-centered community with shared values, emphasizing individual responsibility in upholding these principles. Our ultimate goal is to foster healthy relationships and create an inclusive community for a better, more connected future.

**Вопрос (про)чтения** — это берлинский дискуссионный клуб для тех, кто интересуется наукой, философией и научпоп-литературой. Мы встречаемся примерно раз в месяц, каждый раз — с новой темой. Тема заранее объявляется в Telegram-канале: [https://t.me/+1RVY0Ld5ny8zYmZi](https://t.me/+1RVY0Ld5ny8zYmZi) К каждой встрече мы собираем подборку материалов (книги, статьи, лекции), чтобы можно было посмотреть на тему с разных сторон. Можно выбрать один материал из списка или принести свой — и обсудить его вместе с другими участниками. Формат встречи — живая дискуссия: участники делятся идеями, задают вопросы и вместе разбираются в теме. *** 📚 **Вопрос (про)чтения #11: Любовь сегодня: почему так сложно?** Одиннадцатый «Вопрос (про)чтения» по теме любви и романтических отношений. Обудим почему сегодня это так сложно? Что изменилось? Что говорит наука? ​После двух более теоретических и научных встреч мы решили обратиться к теме, с которой в той или иной форме сталкивался каждый. При этом нам важно обсудить её не в формате советов и популярных объяснений, а с опорой на философию, социологию и современные исследования. Нас интересует не то, как строить отношения, а то, что с ними происходит сегодня и почему. ​Современные данные показывают не самую простую картину: растёт количество одиночных домохозяйств, в том числе в крупных городах вроде Берлина; меняются ожидания от партнёров; появляются новые формы близости; усиливаются идеологические разрывы между людьми. Кто-то говорит о кризисе романтической любви, кто-то — о её трансформации. Вопрос в том, действительно ли мы стали меньше любить или просто иначе понимаем, что такое любовь и отношения. ​Предлагаем посмотреть что говорят данные, какие социальные и культурные изменения влияют на отношения и почему сегодня так сложно выстраивать устойчивую связь с другим человеком. Большинство материалов в подборке скорее описывают проблему и её причины, а возможные ответы мы будем искать уже в обсуждении. *** # ​**Материалы и направления подготовки** ​[Подборка материалов](https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sLJIzosmZs9xxP2lZsP321_ZYhhy638ubYuYLXbYPM/edit?usp=sharing&utm_source=luma) построена так, чтобы можно было рассмотреть тему с разных уровней — от философии до эмпирических исследований. **Можно выбрать один материал — читать всё не нужно.** ​Философская часть включает тексты о природе любви и отношений: * ​Эрих Фромм «Искусство любить» — о любви как навыке и форме зрелости; * ​Хан Бён-Чхоль «Агония Эроса» — о том, как современная культура подрывает возможность глубокой близости; * ​Мартин Бубер «Я и Ты» — о различии между подлинной встречей и отношением к другому как к объекту. ​Научные и научно-популярные материалы помогают понять, что именно происходит с отношениями сегодня: * ​Modern Relationships (ред. Mahzad Hojjat, Anne Moyer) — обзор современных форм отношений и выбора партнёров; * ​Ева Иллуз «Почему любовь ранит?» — социологический анализ трансформации романтической сферы; * ​Christian Rudder Dataclysm — о том, что данные дейтинг-платформ говорят о реальном поведении людей. ​Также в подборке есть научные статьи: * ​Elyakim Kislev — о жизни в одиночку и уровне удовлетворённости; * ​Wahring, Simpson, Van Lange — о различиях в значении отношений для мужчин и женщин; * ​Sharabi и др. — о влиянии дейтинг-приложений на психологическое состояние. ​Для входа в тему можно начать с лекции Максимилиана Неаполитанского, а в дополнительных материалах есть видео, подкасты и более лёгкие форматы. ​Ссылка полностью [https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sLJIzosmZs9xxP2lZsP321_ZYhhy638ubYuYLXbYPM/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.ob84xc2myy58](https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sLJIzosmZs9xxP2lZsP321_ZYhhy638ubYuYLXbYPM/edit?tab=t.0&utm_source=luma#heading=h.ob84xc2myy58) *** # ​**Формат встречи** ​Встреча предполагает предварительную подготовку. Пожалуйста, учитывайте это при регистрации. Каждому участнику будет отведено около 5 минут, чтобы рассказать: * ​что именно вы выбрали для чтения или просмотра, * ​какие идеи показались важными или спорными, * ​с чем вам хочется разобраться в обсуждении. *** # ​**Важно** * ​Мероприятие 16+ * ​Вход только по предварительной регистрации. * ​Встреча предполагает уважительное и внимательное общение: мы обсуждаем идеи, а не личности, даём друг другу договорить и сохраняем безопасную атмосферу для обмена мнениями.

Join Neurospicy Columbus at the Stauff's for coffee and then a stroll through the Book Loft nearby! This will be a friendly chat for like minded individuals with Autism and/or ADHD (or somewhere on the Neurodiverse Spectra).

Let's catch up and have a relaxed chat, including chat about the book Disability Visibility. This collection of essays is available at the library. You'll be invited to share the essay that you related to the most, and the essay that did the most to grow your awareness of something new. It's OK if you don't read the whole book!

We’re bringing back Adult Field Day. Last year was a good mix of competition and just hanging out, so we’re doing it again with some new games mixed in. Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows. You don’t need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldn’t normally talk to. The goal isn’t really winning. It’s meeting people, laughing a bit, and leaving knowing a few more names than when you showed up. If you stick around after, we’ll have a potluck, a bonfire, and a couple comedians in the evening. Bring: * Something to share for the potluck * Clothes you can move around in A small contribution helps keep events sustainable and ensures those who RSVP actually show up. Include your Meetup name + event name in the note. Please send $2 per person to guarantee your spot. Venmo (preferred) or PayPal @WiseUnlimitedLLC Actual links in comments below! Include your Meetup name + event name in the note.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
