Tauche ein in die wohltuende Welt des *Heilsamen Singens*! In der Singgruppe erleben wir gemeinsam, wie einfache, wiederholende Lieder mit positiven Texten Herz und Seele berühren. Du musst kein*e geübte*r Sänger\*in sein – beim heilsamen Singen geht es nicht um Leistung, sondern um Verbindung, Freude und Entspannung. Teils sanfte, teils kraftvolle Klänge und Melodien laden dich ein, den Alltagsstress hinter dir zu lassen, bei dir selbst anzukommen und neue Lebensfreude zu spüren. Beim gemeinsamen Singen entsteht innere Ruhe, dein Immunsystem wird gestärkt – und auf liebevolle Weise entsteht Verbindung untereinander. Komm, wie du bist – mit deiner Stimme, deinem Atem, deinem Herzen. Lass dich tragen vom Klang und entdecke die heilende Kraft des Singens. Wir freuen uns auf dich! Wo: Offenes Wohnzimmer Moabit Wann: jeden 3. Freitag im Monat 19:00 Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis Um die Planung zu erleichtern, melde Dich gerne an unter: [kontakt@heilsames-singen-berlin.de](mailto:kontakt@heilsames-singen-berlin.de) (Wer spontan kommen kann, ist natürlich ebenso willkommen!) Hei, ich bin Gesa, Sängerin, Gesangspädagogin und zertifizierte Singleiterin für Heilsames Singen. Nach über 20 Jahren als Opern- und Konzertsängerin liegt mein Fokus heute auf dem „Heilsamen Singen“. Mir liegt am Herzen, das Singen wieder in unseren Alltag zu holen. Weil es uns mit unserem innersten Menschsein verbindet, weil es Herz und Seele berührt – und weil es ein kleiner, aber kraftvoller Beitrag zu mehr Freude, Wärme und Menschlichkeit in unserer Welt ist.

**Luxury & Empowerment: Refining capacities to receive and to give** with ***Jorge De Hoyos*** for **GBTQ+ men\*** **[Book a ticket](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/sensual-touch/w20-2026)** Member: **15€** Non-member: **30€** Ready to rewrite your scripts on intimacy? Join us for an exploration of the delicate dance between giving and receiving. By tuning into your body’s unique signals of “yes” and “no,” you’ll learn to transform old habits into playful new roles. Whether you’re seeking the “luxury vacation” of a perfect touch or the thrill of radical generosity, this workshop offers a safe, consent-based space to expand your capacity for pleasure. What are your patterns in getting what you want? Is it vulnerable to ask for what you truly desire? And if something is requested of you, are you confident to give appropriately and enough? The relational work of cultivating pleasure through consent requires listening to where your body registers expanded channels and resistances & blocks to the flows of intention and energy. Which habits then would you like to transform? What new and fresh roles might you try on? What touch would be a luxury vacation, and how adventurous can you be in your generosity? All capacity levels welcome! \*Nudity and gential touch is possible, but no where near expected or required. 🔵 **Luxus & Empowerment: Die Kunst des Empfangens und Gebens verfeinern** Sensual Touch Lab Series mit ***Jorge de Hoyos*** Bist du bereit, deine Skripte über Intimität neu zu schreiben? Begib dich mit uns auf eine Entdeckungsreise durch den feinen Tanz zwischen Geben und Nehmen. Indem du lernst, auf die ganz eigenen Signale deines Körpers für „Ja“ und „Nein“ zu hören, transformierst du alte Gewohnheiten in spielerische neue Rollen. Egal, ob du den „Luxusurlaub“ einer perfekten Berührung suchst oder den Nervenkitzel radikaler Großzügigkeit – dieser Workshop bietet dir einen sicheren, konsensbasierten Raum, um deine Fähigkeit für Genuss zu erweitern. Welche Muster zeigst du, wenn es darum geht, das zu bekommen, was du willst? Fühlst du dich verletzlich, wenn du nach deinen wahren Wünschen fragst? Und wenn etwas von dir erbeten wird: Hast du das Selbstvertrauen, angemessen und aus vollem Herzen zu geben? Die Beziehungsarbeit, Lust durch Konsens zu kultivieren, erfordert ein tiefes Hineinhören: Wo spürt dein Körper offene Kanäle und wo zeigen sich Widerstände oder Blockaden im Fluss von Absicht und Energie? Welche Gewohnheiten möchtest du transformieren? In welche neuen, frischen Rollen würdest du gerne schlüpfen? Welche Berührung wäre für dich wie ein Luxusurlaub, und wie abenteuerlustig kannst du in deiner Großzügigkeit sein? Alle Erfahrungsstufen sind willkommen! \*Nacktheit und genitale Berührungen sind möglich, werden aber keinesfalls erwartet oder vorausgesetzt.

This workshop is a fun and easy way to discover a past life that offers information that will benefit you in your present-day life. This 2-hour group workshop is a fun and easy way to experience hypnosis, and discover a past life. Most people have lived many lives; however, the one you will experience in the workshop is the one your Higher Self picks for you to see. It will be a past lifetime that offers information that will benefit you in your present-day life. Doing a past life regression feels much like a guided meditation. During hypnosis you are always in your own control, and you will feel relaxed and refreshed, when the workshop is done. [Watch this video](https://youtu.be/FqmBC4wjnFc "https://youtu.be/FqmBC4wjnFc") for more information on this workshop. **Please bring the following** * Notebook and pen * Water bottle * Eye mask (optional) **The studio provides** * Yoga Math * Blanket * Cushion **Best way to prepare** * Don’t drink any coffee or alcohol before the workshop * Make sure you eat beforehand * Wear comfortable clothing * Have no expectations and come with an open mind! **Your host** My name is Marije, which for most people looks pretty alien but it's only Dutch ;) I'm a QHHT Level 3 Past Life Regressionist located in Berlin, Germany.

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
