**Radical Empathy – Tools for Togetherness** **Hot and Honest Conversations about HIV** with ***Neo Seefried*** and ***Madi Awadalla*** Free event with[ ](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/radical-empathy/w16-2026)**[registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/radical-empathy/w24-2026/)** Have you ever had an HIV related conflict—whether you’re living with HIV, dating someone who is, supporting a partner or friend, or navigating the fears and silences that still surround it? In this session with Madi Awadalla, who is working at the intersection of sexual health and care, we’ll combine concise input with shared practice to explore disclosure, stigma, misunderstanding, and trust—especially when people don’t share the same HIV status. **About Radical Empathy** **Radical Empathy – Tools for Togetherness** builds on Radical Empathy – Queer Storytelling for Connection (2025) and further develops the format: from collective storytelling to collective practice. The workshop series strengthens queer solidarity in all its diversity and asks: How can we stay connected, especially when things get tough? Hosted by **Neo Seefried**, the series combines collective storytelling with somatic, communicative, and creative tools to remain capable of acting in queer contexts when faced with conflicts, emotions, and differences—without avoiding or escalating them, but rather with greater clarity, care, and relational competence. Each session has its own thematic focus (including grief & death, relationships, migration, HIV/AIDS, club culture & substances, trans/inter/non-binary) and is complemented by a guest who explores the respective topic in depth. At the center is the Resonance Circle: a space for shared stories, mindful listening, and resonance—empathy as a practice that we train together and carry into our daily lives. **Audience: This event is for people living with HIV, as well as their friends, partners, and allies.** **Language**: This event is either in **english** or a **mix between english and german.** **Cost:** Free with registration 🔵 #### **Radikale Empathie – Werkzeuge für das Miteinander Heiße und ehrliche Gespräche über HIV** mit ***Neo seefried ***und ***Madi Awadalla*** Hattest du schon einmal einen HIV-bezogenen Konflikt – ob du selbst mit HIV lebst, jemanden datest, der\*die mit HIV lebt, eine\*n Partner\*in oder Freund\*in unterstützt oder versuchst, mit den Ängsten und dem Schweigen umzugehen, die HIV noch immer umgeben? In dieser Session mit Madi Awadalla, die\*der an der Schnittstelle von sexueller Gesundheit und Care arbeitet, kombinieren wir kompakten Input mit gemeinsamer Praxis, um Offenlegung, Stigma, Missverständnisse und Vertrauen zu erkunden – besonders dann, wenn Menschen nicht denselben HIV-Status teilen. **Über Radical Empathy** **Radical Empathy – Tools for Togetherness** knüpft an **Radical Empathy – Queer Storytelling for Connection** (2025) an und entwickelt das Format weiter: vom gemeinsamen Erzählen hin zum gemeinsamen Üben. Die Workshop-Reihe stärkt queeres Miteinander in seiner Vielfalt und fragt: Wie können wir verbunden bleiben, gerade wenn es schwierig wird? Gehostet von **Neo Seefried**, verbindet die Reihe kollektives Storytelling mit somatischen, kommunikativen und kreativen Tools, um in queeren Kontexten mit Konflikten, Emotionen und Differenzen handlungsfähig zu bleiben – ohne zu vermeiden oder zu eskalieren, sondern mit mehr Klarheit, Fürsorge und Beziehungskompetenz. Jede Session hat einen eigenen thematischen Fokus (u.a. Trauer & Tod, Beziehungen, Migration, HIV/Aids, Clubkultur & Substanzen, trans/inter/nicht-binär) und wird durch einen Gast ergänzt, der das jeweilige Thema vertieft. Im Zentrum steht der Resonance Circle: ein Raum für geteilte Geschichten, bewusstes Zuhören und Resonanz – Empathie als Praxis, die wir gemeinsam trainieren und in den Alltag mitnehmen. Teilnehmende: Dies ist eine Veranstaltung für Personen, die mit HIV leben, sowie deren Freund\*innen, Partner\*innen und Allies. Sprache: Diese Veranstaltung findet entweder auf Englisch oder in einem Mix aus Englisch und Deutsch statt. Kosten: kostenlos mit Anmeldung.

**Start time : 12.6.2026 ---> 16:00hr - 18:00hr.** **What Are You Building?** A small gathering for people who are building, exploring, or thinking about an idea, project, or product they want to build. **Who is this for?** • You have an idea in your head but haven't spoken about it publicly yet. • You're working on a project, business, creative pursuit, or research topic you want to develop further. • You want thoughtful questions, straightforward feedback, and a space to think more deeply about what you're building. • You're at an early stage and looking for mental models and momentum to build your idea further. **What will we do?** • Each person gets time to share what they're building. • The group listens, asks questions, challenges assumptions, and offers feedback. • We'll explore obstacles, next steps, opportunities, and different ways of approaching the idea. **What should you bring?** • An idea, project, problem, curiosity, or challenge you'd like to discuss. • You do not need a business, website, audience, or finished product. **What this is not** • Not a networking event. • Not a pitch competition. **The Focus** 1. Bring something you want to build, or an idea you want to build on, and let's work on it. 2. This is as much a learning experience for the host and listeners as it is for the person sharing the idea. The goal is not to have all the answers. The goal is to think more clearly, ask better questions, and develop critical thinking skills. **Why am I hosting this?** Hi! I am Priyanka. I am the founder and host of Everything Playbook (a podcast on Spotify that is gradually expanding into a broader creative and media project), and I spent a long time keeping my ideas to myself. I was insecure, overthinking, and hesitant to talk openly about what I wanted to build. Over time, through conversations, podcasting, and putting my work into the world, I realized that many people are sitting on ideas they rarely get the chance to discuss. This event is an attempt to create that space. I hope that you leave with better clarity, better questions, greater confidence in your idea, and a clearer understanding of what to do next.

**NVC & Voice Workshop** This workshop brings together **Nonviolent Communication (NVC)** and **voice work** as two complementary paths of exploring how we express, listen, and relate. NVC offers a way to understand what is truly alive in us — beneath judgments, reactions, and habits of language. Voice work opens a direct, embodied channel to express that aliveness — beyond words, through sound, vibration, and presence. When these two meet, something shifts: Communication becomes not only something we *say*, but something we *feel, hear, and resonate with*. Perhaps even something we *are*. **What we'll explore** Throughout the day (or weekend), we will move between these two practices, letting them inform and deepen each other: * How to share authentically — and listen in a way that truly receives another * How voice can reveal what words alone cannot * How we can connect deeply to ourselves and others through our authentic sound * How judgments point toward deeper, meaningful needs * How the **4 steps of NVC** can be experienced not just cognitively, but in the body * How needs live in us — and how they can be expressed through both language and sound * How empathy can be practiced not only through listening, but also through collective voice **We’ll explore this through:** * Guided check-ins (spoken and vocal) * Partner and group exercises * Embodied explorations of resonance and vibration * Reflective moments to integrate insights **The experience** This is a **practice-based, experiential space**. We will move between speaking and sounding, listening and sensing, structure and openness. No prior experience with NVC or authentic voice work is needed — just a willingness to explore and be present. **Practical Details** * **Location:** Kunstquartier Bethanien, Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin-Kreuzberg * **Dates:** 13th June 2026 * **Time:** 10:00 – 17:00 **Pricing** Sliding scale: €70 – €90 **Who is this for?** For anyone curious about: * Bringing more authenticity into communication * Connecting voice, body, and inner experience * Exploring NVC beyond concepts — as a lived practice * Experiencing connection that goes beyond words **Registration** To register, please fill [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2ZWgcUA1GUSlayL0Q--ijZ1lHNYkBWXu60sfRuQEQGA3HdA/viewform?usp=publish-editor). ## Your Facilitators **Martina Pesce** Hi, I'm Martina. I came in contact with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) through a relationship where I started to grasp the beauty of this tool. After 3 years of self-study and occasional practice, I was touched by how this communication allowed me to connect with my mum in conflict, so strongly that I felt love for her for the first time in 20 years. Unsatisfied with the lack of mental health support in the neuroscience research field, I decided to switch careers and dive deep into NVC. I trained as a mediator, counsellor and trainer at the Connecting2life school (Yoram Mosenzon). It was a two-year-long process of embodying the tool and then learning how to transmit it so that it could sink in the body. For a year I've been holding my workshops, courses and 1:1 practice. My approach is based on practice and embodiment. I found NVC very revolutionary and with that respect, I like to let sink in our system a few bits of info at the time, rather than an overwhelming waterfall of theory. **Anne Loek Beernink** Anne Loek has been an actress in film and television during the earlier stages of her professional career.

Hi everyone, join us on Sunday, June 14, at Monbijou Park for a fun afternoon all about MBTI and other interesting topics. Whether you’re deep into cognitive function theory or you just heard about MBTI this week, we’re happy to have you here. Looking forward to seeing you there! Our group aims to bring together people who are interested in self-development and self-improvement using MBTI and cognitive functions, in order to learn more about the theory and share our experiences with it. Another reason for this meetup is to meet people with whom you might potentially get along really well based on your type. This can lead to meaningful connections :)
Although the meetup is geared towards people who are interested in learning about MBTI theory and using it to improve their lives, our conversations aren’t only about that! We talk about anything and everything. So it's more like a regular social meetup with the aim of avoiding small talk :)
You can also join our WhatsApp group chat here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KzEwl2YD5K9F6adO7kvqPO

Please read them before attending an event. \#\# 💛 1\. Come as You Are This is a space for real people, not perfect ones. Whether you’re having a great week or a rough day, you’re welcome here. Just be yourself, no masks needed. \#\# 🗣️ 2\. Listen with Empathy When someone shares, listen with your full attention and an open heart. Avoid interrupting or offering unsolicited advice. Sometimes, the most powerful support is simply being present and listening. \#\#\# 🤝 3\. Respect Confidentiality What’s shared in the circle stays in the circle. Trust is the foundation of this group, please don’t repeat or post about anyone’s personal experiences outside of the meetup. \#\#\# 🧘 4\. No Judgment\, No Fixing Everyone’s experience is valid. This isn’t a space for therapy or debate, but for compassionate sharing. Let’s honor each person’s truth without trying to “fix” or analyze it. \#\#\# 🌍 5\. Diversity Is Our Strength We celebrate people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities. Discrimination, harassment, or exclusion of any kind will not be tolerated. Bring curiosity and kindness, we learn so much from each other’s perspectives. \#\#\# 🕊️ 6\. Honor the Flow Please arrive on time if you can, and stay as long as feels right. Our events are flexible, but being punctual helps maintain the shared rhythm and presence in the group. \#\#\# 📍 7\. Be Mindful of Space and Time Keep introductions and sharing brief so everyone has a chance to speak. If you’re speaking, take a breath, and make room for others. If you’re quiet, know that your presence still matters deeply. \#\#\# ☕ 8\. Kind Curiosity Over Critique It’s okay to disagree, that’s part of rich conversation. But let’s do so mindfully, with respect and empathy. Ask questions to understand, not to challenge. \#\#\# 🌸 9\. This Is a Shared Space\, Not Therapy Mindful Mingle is about community and connection, not a substitute for therapy or crisis support. If you’re struggling, please know you’re not alone and professional help is always encouraged. We’re here to listen and care, not to diagnose or treat. \#\#\# ✨ 10\. A Final Note Mindful Mingle is a living community, these guidelines grow with us.

I’m really glad to step into this role and continue what Behnam has built over the years − a community of empaths of all walks of life and ages coming together to connect and share their experiences. It feels both exciting and a little challenging but on the other side of fear is freedom and I'm willing to take that leap. In the past, I held space for women's circles for two years before I moved to Berlin so it’s meaningful for me to return to something I care deeply about − this time in a mixed group, which I’ve been wanting to explore for a while. I intend to uphold the values and guidelines of the Mingle, so if you would like to be part of the journey, join us at an upcoming meeting!
