**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]()**

For Free \(Donations welcome\) \| 20th of March 2026 \| 18:30 – 20:30 **Program** * Presentation about the significance of the Spring Equinox: 18:30 – 19:30 * Meditation: 19:30 to 20:15 – Spring Equinox meditation * Sharing and conclusions: 20:15 – 20:30 *Please check for eventual changes in the program.* **About** At this special time of the year, the day is almost equal with the night. This moment in the yearly cycle symbolizes a state of harmony that brings about a beneficial transformation in Nature as well as in our beings. Everything awakens to life after the period of “conservation and accumulation” of the winter. Especially during this period, a process of purification spontaneously takes place both in our physical body, and in some of our subtle bodies. As a result of this phenomenon, a state of inner tranquillity and peace, of mental and emotional balancing gradually settles in the sphere of our consciousness. From an esoteric point of view, this moment of balance represents a very favourable moment to come into a state of resonance with the glorious androgynous condition – the mystical state of harmony that under certain conditions can manifest in our inner universe between the complementary aspects of our being (Yin and Yang, feminine and masculine, inner and outer, anima and animus, etc). It is not a coincidence that, especially in this time of silent rebirth and mysterious regeneration of nature, most animals mate, plants begin to sprout and bud, and, step by step, one after another, the seeds/germs of life are being reborn all around us. From an astrological point of view, the occult moment of the Spring Equinox marks the beginning of a new astrological year, the moment when the Sun enters the zodiacal sign of Aries, characterized by a state of spontaneity and desire for self-affirmation, being more oriented towards concrete experiences and direct actions. In such favourable moment of the year, we are given an incredible opportunity to align with the mysterious cycles of nature, embarking ourselves in the direction of rebirth, revival, awakening to reality, coming out of sleep, halting the process of hibernation. This mysterious moment of hiatus spontaneously connects us with the huge subtle energies of the beginning, with the optimistic momentum which comes with each new beginning of life. At the same time, this moment of effervescence brings forth a fascinating blossoming of vitality, making us feel full of life and joy, enthusiastic and full of vigour. **Address** Deutsche Akademie für traditionelles Yoga e.

This walk is designed for LGBTQ+ people and allies who want to go deeper. No substances, no pressure, no performance. Just movement, fresh air, and powerful questions to sit with as you walk. The first hour takes us through the trees, following the path. The second hour brings us back to where we started, making a full circle. Somewhere in between, something usually shifts. Reflection questions are shared at the beginning. We walk in pairs and answer these questions to each other. There's no right answer. You don't have to share anything if you don't want to. **This is for you if**: You're tired of socializing that stays on the surface. You want to be around queer people in a way that feels grounded. You're curious about your own inner world. You want community without the substances. **What to bring**: Comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate layers, and your presence. Depending on the group’s needs, we might grab something to eat/drink after the walk at a nearby location. Feel free to invite someone who might enjoy this conscious walk. Come as you are. Looking forward to meeting you! 📍 Volkspark Friedrichshain, 10249 Berlin. 📅 Saturday, March 21st. ⏰ 11:00–13:00. 🚫 Sober & conscious event. **Meeting point**: In front of the fountain at Märchenbrunnen, Am Friedrichshain, 10249 Berlin. **Donation**: €5 minimum. Please pay at the beginning, no refund. **Notalof**: no one turned away for lack of funds. If money is an issue, please send me a message or talk to me in person. **Hosted by Kevin Martinez** — NLP Master Practitioner, Facilitator, and Coach helping people overcome challenges, navigate change, and become more resilient.
