🎉 Join us at Panke for an epically groovy and fun celebration of Baumhaus Berlin - the making of an unlikely dream come true! We’ll gather to party, raise the good vibes and some much needed funds 💰to support Baumhaus continuing to help make the World a better place 1 Berlin at a time… links below 🎯 The goal: grow the crowdfunding from €3300 up to €8000 by June 1 to keep Baumhaus open • Donate - https://www.goodcrowd.org/saving-das-baumhaus 🎸 This next era of our great adventure together features Berlin’s new grooviest band, @junemayjulyband , a 4 piece instrumental band that plays ‘psychedelic groove funk’. 💃 When this band plays it is absolutely irresistible to dance, and on this evening, irresistible for freestyle 🎤 MC Incognegro a.k.a.

It has always been a place where we the people go to get inspired, directly and authentically connected, purposefully engaged, practically informed and personally transformed. ❤️ Baumhaus has provided a unique and resonant atmosphere and intuitively understandable frameworks that facilitate meaningful and connective experiences. Our true solidarity with each other is that we are all working in our own ways to bring more dynamic regenerative balance into the world: personally, ecologically, aesthetically, culturally, economically and socially (p.e.a.c.e.s.).

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.

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
