**Open Writing Circle** **this month’s guest: Biba Oskar Nass** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/writing-circle/w04-2026)** For **LGBTQIA+** Pablo Santacana López invites participants to explore writing as a practice of queer world-making. This workshop approaches writing as a way to build what doesn’t yet exist. When we write from queer experience, we’re constructing alternative realities, imagining different ways of being together, oriented toward the future. **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/w04-2026/)** For **LGBTQIA+** **Gast in diesem Monat:** **Biba Oskar Nass** (they/them), transboy & wortmetzger, writes prose and poetry as a freelance artist.

Officially register for location details here! https://luma.com/lc0ibzp5 Hey friends! 👋 ​We’re diving into The Tears of Things by Richard Rohr, and you’re invited to join the conversation. Each month, we read one chapter and gather to explore what resonates — from compassion and anger to hope and how we make meaning in messy times. ​This month, we’re talking about Chapter 6! Totally fine if you missed previous book club chapters, it's easy to join in the conversation. ​Come as you are — curious, questioning, or quietly taking it in. Let us know if you're in! (So we can get enough snacks! ☺️) ​ ​Book overview: ​In his first major work since The Universal Christ, one of our most prominent spiritual voices offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for living today, grounded in the timeless words of the Hebrew prophets. ​How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel over an unfair world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, showing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a path forward today. ​The prophets' writings echo the spectrum of human development. Beneath their initial fervor and their powerful words, there lies a profound lamentation about our shared human condition and the pain of the world. Yet, in their astute critiques of culture and institutions, and their movement from anger and lament to wholeness and hope, the prophets embody what Rohr calls holy disorder— a distinct approach to confronting malevolence and recognizing the wholeness of every living being. ​Drawing on a century of Biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared millions to Rohr, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom and paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a wholehearted way of living in a hurting world. ​About the author, Richard Rohr: ​Franciscan friar and ecumenical teacher, Father Richard Rohr bears witness to the deep wisdom of Christian mysticism and traditions of action and contemplation. Founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, Father Richard teaches how God’s grace guides us to our birthright as beings made of Divine Love. He is the author of numerous books, including The Universal Christ, The Wisdom Pattern, Just This, and Falling Upward.

**Caller: Dan Kappus** **Band: Trillium** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
