**Cuddling as Collective Care – all genders** for **LGBTQIA+** **[Book a Ticket](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/regenerative-touch/w11-2026)** **Member: 15 €** **Regular: 30 €** This Cuddle Puddle offers a safe, consent-based space for people of all genders within the LGBTQIA+ community to experience non-sexual touch, communal connection and rest. Guided exercises support emotional wellbeing, boundaries, and self-awareness. **Cuddle Puddles** are structured, guided spaces where people can experience the benefits of non-sexual touch — such as reduced stress, nervous system regulation, and a deeper sense of belonging. Touch, when consensual and caring, can support emotional resilience and mental health. This **Cuddle Puddle** is open to all genders within the LGBTQIA+ community, creating a space where diverse identities can meet beyond gendered expectations. A non-gender-restricted setting allows for broader empathy, mutual understanding, and connection, while honoring individual boundaries, choice, and safety at all times. **General Information** • This format is for all queer people (LGBTQIA+) interested in experiencing touch in a safe(r) setting. • This is a clothes-on format. • Bring a sheet and towel to cover cushions, mats, or massage tables. • This event will be in English • This event is also available at a reduced member price – but not part of the three-free-monthly-events benefit. • Concession tickets upon written request to **[events@wearevillage.org](mailto:events@wearevillage.org)** **Kuscheln als kollektive Fürsorge – Alle Geschlechter** für **LGBTQIA+** **[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/regenerative-touch/w11-2026)** **Mitglied: 15 €** **Regulärer Preis: 30 €** Dieser Cuddle Puddle bietet einen sicheren, einvernehmlichen Raum für Menschen aller Geschlechter aus der LGBTQIA+ Community, um nicht-sexuelle Nähe, gemeinschaftliche Verbindung und Entspannung zu erleben. Die angeleitete Erfahrung stärkt emotionales Wohlbefinden, Körperwahrnehmung und klare Grenzen. **Cuddle Puddles** sind angeleitete Räume für bewusste, nicht-sexuelle Berührung, die Stress reduzieren, das Nervensystem regulieren und das Gefühl von Zugehörigkeit stärken können. Konsensuelle Nähe unterstützt emotionale Stabilität und psychische Gesundheit. Diese Cuddle Puddle ist für alle Geschlechter innerhalb der LGBTQIA+ Community geöffnet. Ein nicht-geschlechtergetrennter Raum ermöglicht vielfältige Begegnungen jenseits von Rollenbildern und Erwartungen. So entsteht ein Feld für mehr Empathie, gegenseitiges Verständnis und authentische Verbindung, immer auf Basis von Wahlfreiheit, klaren Grenzen und gegenseitigem Respekt **Was ist Regenerative Berührung?** Regenerative Touch ist ein monatlicher Workshop für Queer People, bei dem wir uns gegenseitig helfen, langsamer zu werden, in unseren Körper zu kommen und in einer unterstützenden und nährenden Umgebung die wohltuende Wirkung von regenerativer Berührung erkunden. Berührung, die im täglichen Leben oft übersehen wird, ist ein grundlegendes menschliches Bedürfnis. In diesen Workshops schaffen wir einen Raum, der ausschließlich ihrer regenerativen und heilenden Kraft gewidmet ist, frei von romantischen oder sexuellen Konnotationen. Berührung kommuniziert direkt und erreicht Orte, die Worte nicht erreichen können. Hast du jemals die beruhigende Wirkung einer warmen Umarmung oder einer tröstenden Hand auf deiner Schulter erlebt? Selbst ein kurzes 15-minütiges Handhalten kann zu einer signifikanten Senkung der Herzfrequenz und des Blutdrucks führen und eine starke Entspannungsreaktion signalisieren. Eine einfache 20-sekündige Umarmung kann zu höheren Oxytocinspiegeln führen, dem Hormon, das mit Bindung und Vertrauen verbunden ist. Jeden Monat wird unser trauma-sensitiver Moderator den Abend um Themen wie Präsenz, Regulierung des Nervensystems und emotionale Sicherheit gestalten und sich auf praktisches Erleben anstatt auf zu viele Worte oder Techniken konzentrieren. Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse in Körperarbeit erforderlich – bring einfach deine Neugier mit. **Vorteile** – Erfahre eine Verringerung von Angstzuständen und Depressionen sowie eine erhöhte emotionale Widerstandsfähigkeit durch beruhigende, achtsame Berührung. – Kultiviere wertschätzende Anwesenheit und tiefere Verbindungen zu dir selbst und anderen. – Unterstütze die Heilung von Traumata und setze in einer sicheren, nährenden Umgebung Emotionen frei. – Verbessere deine Stimmung und deine Immunfunktion, indem du Stress reduzierst und Endorphine freisetzt. – Fördere ein Gefühl von Gemeinschaft und Zugehörigkeit durch gemeinsame, nonverbale Erfahrungen. – Ermutige tieferes Mitgefühl und Akzeptanz durch sanften, unterstützenden Kontakt.

**Open Reflection Circle** is a small and intimate women’s gathering in Berlin, where we come together in a cozy café to share, reflect, and connect with one another. In this circle, a small group of around **8–10 women** gathers to spend time in meaningful conversation and reflection. We begin by introducing ourselves and gently creating a space where everyone feels comfortable and welcomed. Through guided reflection prompts, we explore our journeys, our emotions, and the experiences that shape our lives. These prompts are designed to help you open up and reflect more deeply on your thoughts, your dreams, and the challenges you may be navigating. We also include a few light and playful exercises to break the ice and help everyone feel relaxed and connected. The intention is not to create pressure to share, but to create an environment where sharing feels natural and safe. The heart behind the **Open Reflection Circle** is simple: to bring together women who can hold space for each other and remind one another that we are not alone in our journeys. This is a space where we can talk honestly about our lives — our visions, our goals, what we are building, and what sometimes holds us back from taking action. We reflect together on questions such as: Where do we want to go in life? What are we dreaming of creating? What challenges are we facing in our emotional wellbeing or personal growth? By listening to one another’s stories and perspectives, we often discover insights that we might not have seen on our own. You are encouraged to bring a **notebook and pen**, as many women like to take notes from reflections, ideas, and inspiration that arise during the conversation. Toward the end of the gathering, we close with a small and meaningful practice: exchanging short **love letters of gratitude** with each other. These simple messages help us acknowledge the presence of the women in the circle and leave the space with a feeling of appreciation, connection, and warmth. The intention of this circle is not advice or fixing each other’s problems. It is simply to **listen, reflect, learn from one another, and hold space for the beautiful complexity of each woman’s journey.**

Whether you want to make progress on a project or just enjoy the vibe, you’re very welcome here.

**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.

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**

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

**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.
