The Easter Vigil is the church’s oldest and most powerful Easter celebration—the night where we move from **darkness to light**, from **death to life**, and from **silence to joy**. We begin outside (weather permitting) with **new fire**, listen to the big story of God’s saving love through Scripture, renew baptismal promises, and finally sing the **first “Alleluia!”** of Easter. And when the service ends, the celebration keeps going: **stay for Easter Midnight Brunch**—a warm, festive (and very human) way to welcome Easter together. ### What to expect A longer service than usual (and worth it): candlelight, readings, music, prayer, and a joyful turn into Easter. You can participate fully, participate quietly, or simply observe—then come share food and conversation after. ### Tonight includes * **Service of Light** — **new fire** (a big fire in front of the church), the Paschal candle, and candlelit procession into the dark church * **The Great Story (Readings)** — a sweeping set of Scripture readings tracing God’s faithfulness (creation, deliverance, promise, hope) * **Baptismal Thanksgiving / Renewal of Baptism** — water, promises, and the reminder that Easter begins at the font * **First Alleluia** — the return of “Alleluia!” after Lent, and the proclamation of the resurrection * **Holy Communion** — bread and wine at Jesus’ table as Easter begins * **Easter Midnight Brunch** — good food and drink, treats, and a chance to celebrate and connect ### Explicit welcome **All people are welcome—no exceptions.** That includes ALL people, skeptics, seekers, exhausted Christians, first-timers, English speakers and non-native speakers, families with kids, and anyone who just needs a place where hope is practiced out loud. ### Good to know * This service is **candlelit**—kids are welcome (and wiggly is okay). * If we begin outside, dress for the weather. * You’re always free to step out for a breather. * Photos/recording: not during the service. If you’ve never experienced the Vigil, this is the night that makes Easter make sense—and brunch is the cherry on top.

**Love: Past, Present, and Future – From Biology to the Heart** Love is one of the most intimate and transformative experiences of being alive. It can bring joy or heartbreak, clarity or confusion, fleeting moments or lifelong bonds. While deeply personal, love is also universal—woven into our biology, reflected in human culture, mirrored in the animal kingdom, and explored through spiritual and moral traditions. At its core, love is biological. Our brains are wired for connection: dopamine sparks desire, oxytocin fosters attachment. These chemical signals guide attraction, bonding, and social cohesion. Yet love is far more than biology. Across spiritual traditions, love is celebrated as sacred and transformative, guiding behavior, inspiring compassion, and creating meaning beyond the self. Devotion, care, and empathy show how love can connect individuals, communities, and the wider world. Love is not unique to humans. Animals form bonds, care for their young, and display loyalty and attachment. From swans that mate for life to nurturing communities of elephants and dolphins, the natural world reminds us that connection is both instinctive and profound. In modern times, love is evolving. Romantic partnerships, friendships, and self-love are increasingly shaped by digital technology, social change, and global mobility. Love today can cross continents in an instant, flourish in virtual spaces, or challenge traditional norms—emphasizing choice, equality, emotional fulfillment, and authenticity. Looking ahead, love may take forms we can barely imagine. Artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and bioengineering could reshape intimacy, attachment, and connection. Future relationships might include AI companions, hybrid human-digital bonds, or entirely new ways of caring for others—prompting us to rethink what it means to love. This session will explore love as a phenomenon that spans biology, psychology, society, spirituality, the animal kingdom, and emerging futures. We will reflect on how love is felt, expressed, and understood—personally and collectively—and how it shapes identity, behavior, and meaning in life. **We will focus on:** * Cultural, historical, and spiritual perspectives on love * The biology of attraction, bonding, and attachment * Psychology: intimacy, emotional bonds, and human connection * Lessons from the animal kingdom: care, loyalty, and partnership * Modern love: technology, social change, and evolving norms * The future of love: AI, virtual relationships, and new possibilities * Personal dimensions: vulnerability, growth, heartbreak, and self-love * Expanding who can love freely and how we practice love today Join us for an intimate and reflective conversation on love—in all its forms, from brain chemistry to spiritual and moral traditions, from animal bonds to digital possibilities. Together, we’ll explore how love shapes life today and what it might become tomorrow. 📅 **Event Details** 🗓️ **Date:** Saturday, 04 April 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 14:00 📍 **Location:** Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin 📱 **WhatsApp:** For prep materials and directions [Group Chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H)

New members are always welcome. It's ok to have missed any or all of the sessions involving other plays. Current Reading: **The Merchant of Venice Acts 3, 4, & 5** Completed Plays: Julius Caesar, The Winter's Tale GUIDELINES: ***Participants should complete the reading before each session. It's no problem not to have understood everything, but without some familiarity with the text prior to meeting it will be difficult to have a conversation.*** ***Also, it's not necessary that English be your first language in order to join, but your command and understanding of English should be that you're able to participate confidently in discussions about ideas, feelings, and abstract things.*** **"Reading Shakespeare Socratically?"** \-\- This means we'll put questions to the text and try to make it speak\, as though it is a living person and we are its interlocutor\. We'll ask it questions about what the text has said and then try to find answers\. Mostly\, this just means having a discussion amongst ourselves but there are a few guidelines that\, in my experience\, have proven immensely helpful to having a substantial conversation: **#1** Avoid Outside Sources; interpretations you read on the internet about what the play really means, academic papers/lectures (unless they are your own), personal stories/anecdotes, biographically-driven analysis of the text, interpolations about Shakespeare's personality, facts about Shakespeare's life., etc. **#2** Try to ground what you say in the text -- it's not necessary to quote something every time you speak, but referencing passages, etc. will create great conversation. **#3** Be conscious of your own speaking time. If there are 10 people and 120 minutes of event time, then people have roughly 12 minutes each to speak. Nobody will keep track, but it' a good reference point to keep in mind. We also strive to practice [the principle of charity when considering another's point of view.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity) **My Role/About Me:** I will moderate the discussion and begin each session by asking an opening question that should serve as a point-of-entry into the text. I don't posit myself as an expert or authority. Nor do I claim to have the "right" answers, but I do have a lot of experience participating in such discussions and a solid background in reading Shakespeare. This is a free event.

We are inviting you to our next Evening of Meditation on **Sunday, the 5th of April**. These gatherings are not just about meditating on your own, but a step inward that we take together regarding a particular topic. This time we explore **The key to experiencing our interconnectedness with nature**. Most of us live in cities, spending our days in front of screens or in closed environments, and only occasionally take a walk in a park or go on a hike. Our experience of nature is often limited to a little time off to "recharge our batteries," when in fact, a deeper connection with nature can open up so much more within us. Let’s discover The key to experiencing our interconnectedness with nature. 📍Where: [Yoga Sky](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kBxUvZrqo5yzRNe88?g_st=ipc), Am Tempelhofer Berg 7d, 10965 Berlin Follow the Yoga Sky signs in the yard, and take the elevator to the top floor. 🗓 When: Sunday, 5th of April, 19:00 - 20:30 Please arrive 5-10 min earlier to settle down. 🎟️ Entry: €5, just to pay for the space (in cash or PayPal) For more info go to: [https://onenessberlin.com/](https://onenessberlin.com/) You’re welcome, no matter your background or experience. This is what has worked for us over many years and we love to share it with you. Looking forward to see you, Oneness Berlin Florian, Jazgul & Carla

**Instinct \#21 \| I feel you like the moon feels the earth** with ***Ahmed El Gendy*** for **LGBTQIA+** **Free Admission** For Instinct #20, Ahmed El Gendy ***I feel you like the moon feels the earth***, a 20-minute performance (spoken in English) that traces a memory of proximity, silence, and the charged tenderness of being led. The work starts from a simple confession—“I did not want to sleep upstairs because it was cold, and I did not dare to sleep next to him.”—and opens into a recounting of a 24-hour encounter with a stranger in Amsterdam, lived without words. **I feel you like the moon feels the earth** performance – 20 minutes spoken language in English “I did not want to sleep upstairs because it was cold, and I did not dare to sleep next to him.” As the audience pass me from hand to hand, I recount my memory of a long encounter with a stranger in Amsterdam. I spent 24 hours in silence with him, allowing him to lead the day, at his home and outside, while I quietly followed. 🔵 Für Instinct #20 präsentiert Ahmed El Gendy ***I feel you like the moon feels the earth***, eine 20-minütige Performance (auf Englisch gesprochen), die einer Erinnerung an Nähe, Stille und der aufgeladenen Zärtlichkeit des Sich-Führen-Lassens nachspürt. Die Arbeit beginnt mit einer einfachen Feststellung: „Ich wollte nicht oben schlafen, weil es kalt war, und ich wagte nicht, neben ihm zu schlafen.“—und öffnet sich zu einer Erzählung einer 24-stündigen Begegnung mit einem Fremden in Amsterdam, die ohne Worte gelebt wurde.

Come celebrate Easter Sunday — the heart of the Christian year and the joyful proclamation that Christ is risen. We gather in festival worship with traditional liturgy, triumphant hymns, proclamation of the resurrection, and Holy Communion. Easter is not only a day of celebration, but the great turning point of the Christian story: light breaking into darkness, life overcoming death, hope rising where despair once stood. ### Why Easter Matters Easter proclaims the central confession of the Christian faith: **Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.** This is not only a memory of something long ago. It is the promise that God is still at work in the world — bringing life where there is death, healing where there is brokenness, and hope where there is fear. Easter declares that no darkness has the final word. ### A Festival of Resurrection Our Easter service follows the historic shape of Christian worship: * Scripture readings that tell the story of resurrection * Proclamation of the good news * Prayers of thanksgiving and hope * Joyful hymnody * Holy Communion — the feast of the risen Christ At the table, we are invited to share in Christ’s victory and to receive again the promise of new life. ### Holy Communion All who seek Christ are welcome at the table. You do not need to be a member of the church. If you are baptized in any Christian tradition, you are invited to receive Communion. If you would like a blessing instead, simply come forward with your arms crossed. *** Come and hear the greatest story ever told. Come and sing with joy. Come and taste the feast of resurrection. **Christ is risen!** **He is risen indeed!** All are welcome! We mean it... ALL!
