The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please try to be on time so we can all get started together :) We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German. The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other. The Sprachcafé is for free. \*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\* \| \| \| \|

Die Treffen finden hybrid statt, also online und vor Ort. Den Link für meinen digitalen Raum schicke ich am **Tag des Treffens** per Meetup-Mail an alle Teilnehmenden - schaut also bitte in euer Postfach bei Meetup! :-) Wir werden lesen, diskutieren, Erfahrungen austauschen, voneinander lernen und uns mit Themen kritisch auseinander setzen. Mitbringen braucht ihr nur das jeweilige Buch. Euch erwartet ein hoffentlich geselliger, inspirierender und unterhaltsamer Abend. **Zum 25.06. lesen wir "Girl vs. Girl. Wie Popkultur Frauen gegeneinander aufbringt" von Sophie Gilbert.** Ich freue mich auf euch!

"Wer bin ich und wer bin ich mit dir? Wer bist du und was sehe ich in dir? Was könnte aus uns werden?" Ein empathischer Dialog. Grenzen wahrnehmen. Das Unbekannte erforschen. Alternative "Ich's" ausprobieren. Mit Neugier, mit Offenheit. Ein Raum für unsere Geschichten in Transformation. Dieser Schreib-Workshop bietet Frauen einen kreativen Rahmen, in dem wir uns in unserem verschieden und doch gemeinsam Sein zelebrieren und dabei gegenseitig ermutigen, im Handeln unser Potential zu entfalten. \*\*\* Ich bin: Joana (sie/ihr). Musikerin. Kulturwissenschaftlerin, mit literaturwissenschaftlichem Schwerpunkt. Seit Februar 2024 in Ausbildung als Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie. Durch diverse positive Erfahrungen als Teilnehmerin von (Schreib)kreisen für Frauen sowie mit großem Interesse besuchten Seminaren und Workshops offline und online, ist nun der Herzenswunsch entstanden, selbst auf lokaler Ebene - und in kreativer Gestalt - einen solchen Raum zu öffnen und leiten. Die amerikanische Sprecherin und Autorin Peggy Tabor Millin bringt meine eigenen Erlebnisse und Prozesse mit folgender Betrachtung auf den Punkt: "Wir müssen uns nicht selbst analysieren oder Erinnerungen hervorkramen oder an der Selbstverbesserung arbeiten. Wir müssen nur bereit sein zu lernen, wer wir sind und was die Tiefe unserer Seele wirklich ausdrücken will und muss. Während wir unser Schreiben in einem sicheren Kreis teilen, lernen wir, diesem Prozess und damit uns selbst zu vertrauen." \*\*\* Da die Plätze begrenzt sind, melde dich bitte an unter: transformativesschreiben@gmx.net \*\*\* Bitte mitbringen: \- Stift\(e\) und Papier oder eigenes Journal \- einen kleinen Gegenstand für den Kreis \(z\.B\. etwas aus der Natur oder von Bedeutung für dich in diesem Moment\) \- Warme Socken oder Hausschuhe \*\*\* Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis Dieser Schreib-Workshop bietet Frauen einen kreativen Rahmen, in dem wir uns in unserem verschieden und doch gemeinsam Sein zelebrieren und dabei gegenseitig ermutigen, im Handeln unser Potential zu entfalten.

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.

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Open Shelter has teamed up again with Red White and Boom! Friday, July 3rd & we are looking for volunteers to run the event’s alcohol booths. Proceeds from sales go to the Open Shelter’s organization. There are two available shifts: 12-6p & 5-11p. There will be an ipad-like device to process transactions in addition to cash. Everything will be in bottles or cans, so transactions should be very easy. Must be 21+. There are multiple beverage stations along the Civic Center Bridge. The stations are covered and also have beverage trucks next to them, so volunteers can cool off in the trucks. As far as parking, it is suggested those who are coming from the east use the Columbus Commons Garage, and those from the west use the Belle Street Garage. Harry from the Open Shelter will be your contact.
