Sensual Touch Lab: Breath and Sound
**Sensual Touch Lab: Breath and Sound**
with **Markus Bohlmann**
for **GBTQ men\***
**[Book a Ticket](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/sensual-touch/w12-2026)**
**Member: 15 €**
**Regular: 30 €**
We open up a space for a deep arrival in our own bodies. Through loving-connected breathing and mindful and conscious touch of ourselves and others, an invitation arises to feel held, connected, and safe.
We open a space to connect deeply with our bodies and one another. Together, we begin by acknowledging any discomfort we may carry around nudity, intimacy, and being truly seen by others. We then explore what it feels like to be touched by someone else in a mindful, caring way — to be held, witnessed, caressed, and supported. We take our time to notice our responses: where we soften, where we tense up, where we long for connection. Each experience is welcomed as valid.
Gradually, we shift toward becoming our own witness and our own allies. We cultivate a loving, connected presence with ourselves — meeting our desires and vulnerabilities with compassion.
We will be guided by the breath and sound as anchors for awareness. Touched by the sound of chimes and our own words that answer to our needs at the moment, we are surrounded by a shared field of presence and care, bathing in a soundscape of self-compassion — resting in intimate, authentic connection with ourselves and with other GBTQ\* men.
**What is Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ Men\*?**
Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ Men\* is a monthly workshop where we aim to create a space for sensual closeness and playful encounters.
Embodied, somatic experiences that appreciate our full-bodied nature. Using sensuality as an approach to explore new ways of dealing with our own fears or patterns related to nudity, intimacy, and touch. We invite you to explore, communicate, and possibly expand your personal boundaries within a framework of mutual respect and consent. This opens up the opportunity to experience the power of touch, sensation, and non-verbal interpersonal connection.
Each event will be a guided process, which will have a special touch depending on the theme and background of the facilitator\*, whether it be bodywork and touch, somatics and intimacy, or something else. These short workshops may include nudity, partner exercises or close physical interactions.
**Benefits:**
**•** Creates valuable shared experiences among GBTQ men\* through closeness, empathy, and connection.
**•** Combats feelings of isolation and loneliness.

**•** Provides a safe, judgement-free space to explore personal boundaries
**•** Contributes to overall well-being and supports the ability to build lasting relationships
**•** Can serve as a healthy coping mechanism and reduce the risk of substance abuse
**General Information**

🔵
Wir öffnen einen Raum für ein tiefes Ankommen im eigenen Körper. Durch liebevolles, präsentes Atmen sowie achtsame und bewusste Berührung – uns selbst und anderen gegenüber – entsteht eine Einladung, sich gehalten, verbunden und geborgen zu fühlen.
Wir schaffen einen Raum, der es uns erlaubt, tief mit unserem Körper und miteinander in Verbindung zu treten. Gemeinsam beginnen wir unserem Unbehagen bewusst Raum zu geben, das wir möglicherweise in Bezug auf Nacktheit, Intimität und das Gefühl, von anderen gesehen zu werden, empfinden. Anschließend erforschen wir, wie es sich anfühlt, von jemand anderem auf achtsame, fürsorgliche Weise berührt, wahrgenommen und unterstützt zu werden. Wir nehmen uns Zeit, unsere Empfindungen wahrzunehmen: wo wir im Körper weicher werden, wo wir uns anspannen, wo wir uns nach Verbindung sehnen. Jede Erfahrung ist willkommen.
Dann tauchen wir in die Erfahrung ein, uns selbst zu halten und zu umsorgen, für uns selbst da zu sein. Wir kultivieren eine liebevolle, verbundene Präsenz mit uns selbst – und begegnen unseren Wünschen und Verletzlichkeiten mit Mitgefühl.
Wir lassen uns hierbei vom Atem und Klang der Koshi Chimes als Anker für das Bewusstsein leiten. Auch der Klang unserer eigenen Worte~~n~~, die auf unsere Bedürfnisse in diesem Moment eingehen, trägt zu einem gemeinsamen Feld der Präsenz und Selbstfürsorge bei. Wir sind eingeladen in einer intimen, authentischen Verbindung mit uns selbst und mit anderen GBTQ\*-Männern zu ruhen.
**Was ist Sensual Touch Lab Series for GBTQ Männer\*?**
Sensual Touch Lab Series für GBTQ Männer\* ist ein monatlicher Workshop, bei dem wir einen Raum für sinnliche Nähe und spielerische Begegnungen schaffen möchten.
Verkörperte, somatische Erfahrungen, die unsere Gesamtkörperlichkeit wertschätzen. Sinnlichkeit als Zugang, neue Wege im Umgang mit unseren eigenen Ängsten oder Mustern in Bezug auf Nacktheit, Intimität und Berührung erkunden. Wir laden dich ein, deine persönlichen Grenzen in einem Rahmen gegenseitigen Respekts und Einvernehmens zu erforschen, zu kommunizieren und gegebenenfalls zu erweitern. Dabei eröffnet sich die Möglichkeit, die Kraft von Berührung, Empfindung und nonverbaler, zwischenmenschlicher Bezogenheit zu erfahren.
Jedes Event wird ein geführter Prozess sein, der je nach Thema und Hintergrund der Kursleitenden\* eine besondere Note hat, sei es Körperarbeit und Berührung, Somatik und Intimität oder etwas anderes. Diese Kurzworkshops können Nacktheit, Partnerübungen sowie körperlich nahe Interaktionen beinhalten.
**Vorteile**
**•** Schafft wertvolle, gemeinsame Erfahrungen unter GBTQ Männer\* durch Nähe, Empathie und Verbundenheit
**•** Bekämpft Gefühle der Isolation und Einsamkeit
**•** Fördert Selbstliebe und Akzeptanz des eigenen Körpers und der Identität
**•** Bietet einen sicheren, urteilsfreien Raum zur Erforschung persönlicher Grenzen
**•** Trägt zum allgemeinen Wohlbefinden bei und unterstützt die Fähigkeit, dauerhafte Beziehungen aufzubauen
**•** Kann als gesunder Bewältigungsmechanismus dienen und das Risiko von Substanzmissbrauch reduzieren
**Hinweise**
• Dieses Format ist für alle queeren Männer\*/Männlichkeiten, die Berührung in einer einvernehmlichen, unterstützenden Atmosphäre erfahren möchten.
• Bitte lege Wert auf persönliche Hygiene
• Bringe zum Abdecken von Kissen, Matten oder Massageliegen ein Laken und ein Handtuch mit
• Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen
• Dieses Event ist auch zu einem ermäßigten Mitgliederpreis erhältlich – aber kein Bestandteil der drei kostenlosen monatlichen Mitgliederveranstaltungen
Creative writing session
## ✍️ Week 2 – Creative Writing Session
*This event is part of The Creative Act Circle series.*
In a calm, focused atmosphere, we gather to write.
The location will be announced soon — most likely we will meet in a library, creating a quiet and inspiring environment for reflection.
You’re welcome to write about anything that feels alive for you — a personal theme, an open question, a piece for your blog, or something that has been waiting to be expressed. If you prefer structure, I will offer guided prompts to help you move gently from reflection into language.
Through writing and shared reflection, you may gain:
• Mental clarity
• Integration of recent insights
• A sense of inner completion
We don’t aim for conclusions. We aim for awareness.
Katakylsm @ Festsaal Kreuzberg
Death metal royalty Katakylsm and Vader are coming to pulverizeze the ground and the crowds beneath them with bone-rattling, primally satisfying riffs and a gritty, soul-shaking assault.
Not much else to say about this one; if you like death metal, these bands exemplify death metal.

Weebzclub investor's meetup
Good day,
Let me introduce myself first. My name is Adin (nickname). I am originally from Bangladesh and a German citizen. I spent half of my life here in Berlin and my childhood in my native country. I grew up being passionate with the Japanese Otaku subculture which was at its peak point during late 90's in all of Asia. Comics, anime and arcade games defined my childhood. Lately, I have rediscovered my passion for this area and the modern form Otaku subculture is again at its peak. So, I have recently created Weebzclub - https://www.weebzclub.com.
My idea is to create a space for those who are interested in these topics and would like to find like-minded people. So, the primary idea is to have a space to create the club and arrange events in our own private space, gather some artworks, anime, manga and arcade games.
With sufficient investment, my idea is to have a large space with a cafe, personalized anime movie theater, gaming zone, manga comic book store and an art gallery.
The meetup will take place at Einstein Kaffee at Budapester Strasse, Berlin Zoologischer Garten (at the opposite side of Europa center). Give me a call if you have any difficulty to find the place +49 176 8874 3055.
I look forward to meet you.

We are happy to see you this sunday!
Curious what we do? Check our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmmakersandmovienerds/) ♥️
**This is what Filmmakers and Movienerds is about**
Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies?
**Then you should join us!**
We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them.
Together, we will talk about these topics:
* What you are currently working on
* What you need help with
* What would you like to help with
* What you you would like to learn
This is event is great for:
* filmmakers
* movie nerds
* writers
* camera operators
* editors
* actors
* sound recorders
* composers
* gaffers
* producers
We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us.
**Important information**:
*To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*
Past Life Regression Workshop XL
This workshop is a fun and easy way to discover a past life that offers information that will benefit you in your present-day life.
In this extended 3-hour workshop, Marije will guide you to a past life that holds valuable information for you. This session offers a fun and accessible way to experience hypnosis and uncover a past life using the QHHT technique, developed by the late Dolores Cannon.
In this extended version, we don't just explore a past life and learn its lessons. We also journey into the far future to see what life awaits you there. Additionally, we will connect with one of your main spirit guides to receive a meaningful message and gift.
No prerequisite training or specific belief system is required. You will be guided into a natural hypnotic state, where you will always remain in control. In this state, we can unlock doors within you that you didn't even know existed. All you need to attend this workshop is a healthy dose of curiosity and an open-mind.
*Designed to be a fun and light-hearted experience, this workshop provides valuable insights. However, if you seek answers to profound life questions, a 1:1 Past Life Regression session may be more suitable. Many people choose to participate in a Past Life Regression workshop before booking a personalized 1:1 session.*
[Watch this video](https://youtu.be/FqmBC4wjnFc "https://youtu.be/FqmBC4wjnFc") for more information on this workshop.
**Please bring the following**
* Notebook and pen
* Water bottle
* Eye mask (optional)

* Yoga Math
* Blanket
* Cushion
**Best way to prepare**

Cruising through paint- Somatography of intimacy
**Cruising through paint- Somatography of intimacy**
with ***Martin Dieudonné***
for **LGBTQIA+**
**Free Admission**
In this performance, Martin Dieudonné presents a live meeting between artist and model, built on presence, trust, intimacy, and consent. Though separated by a large canvas with no physical contact, the artist paints through touch: caressing, holding, and tracing the model’s body with gesture and pigment, using his own body as a tool.
The canvas becomes a membrane where movement replaces direct skin-to-skin contact, transforming intimacy into image. By the end, the artist hopes the model will feel the touch through the painting itself, as if sensation has crossed the surface and settled into the body.
The act becomes a physical dialogue where movement, breath, and distance shape the image. Rooted in live sessions with gay and queer community members, the work builds a growing family of portraits that celebrate raw tenderness and vulnerability.
The model remains still yet fully present as witness, while the audience, as third party, observes how bodies can be discovered through rhythm, attention, and care. Through trust and surrender, these works hold intimacy as a shared, powerful force: a testament to vulnerability celebrated together.
The performance lasts approximately 40min. The public is invited to walk around and see it from different perspectives and witness the creation of the artwork.
🔵
In dieser Performance präsentiert Martin Dieudonné eine Live-Begegnung zwischen Künstler und Modell, die auf Präsenz, Vertrauen, Intimität und Einvernehmen basiert. Obwohl durch eine große Leinwand getrennt und ohne physischen Kontakt, malt der Künstler durch Berührung: Er streichelt, hält und zeichnet den Körper des Modells mit Gesten und Pigmenten nach und nutzt dabei seinen eigenen Körper als Werkzeug. Die Leinwand wird zu einer Membran, in der Bewegung den direkten Hautkontakt ersetzt und Intimität in ein Bild verwandelt. Am Ende hofft der Künstler, dass das Modell die Berührung durch das Gemälde selbst spürt – als hätte die Empfindung die Oberfläche durchquert und sich im Körper niedergelassen.
Der Akt wird zu einem physischen Dialog, in dem Bewegung, Atem und Distanz das Bild formen. Verwurzelt in Live-Sitzungen mit Mitgliedern der schwulen und queeren Community, entsteht eine wachsende Familie von Porträts, die rohe Zärtlichkeit und Verletzlichkeit zelebrieren.
Das Modell bleibt ruhig und zugleich vollkommen präsent als Zeuge, während das Publikum als dritte Instanz beobachtet, wie Körper durch Rhythmus, Aufmerksamkeit und Fürsorge entdeckt werden können. Durch Vertrauen und Hingabe bewahren diese Arbeiten Intimität als gemeinsame, kraftvolle Energie – ein Zeugnis gemeinsam gefeierter Verletzlichkeit.
Die Performance dauert etwa 40 Minuten. Das Publikum ist eingeladen, sich frei im Raum zu bewegen, verschiedene Perspektiven einzunehmen und die Entstehung des Kunstwerks mitzuerleben.

**About me:**
Hi, my name is Anastasia. I started this writing club back in May 2025. Since then, it has been hosted weekly at the Heinrich Schulz Library (who is kind enough to allow us to use this room for free). Over this time, I’ve been privileged to meet some of the most creative and kind minds in Berlin. And I would be happy if you joined us. Whether you're an experienced writer or just at the beginning of your journey, you're welcome. If you know how to hold a pen or how to type, there will always be a space for you.
Let's write together!
Poetry in the Park – International Day of Poetry 🌹📖 – Social Butterfly Club 🦋
On the International Day of Poetry, we’re meeting in the Rosengarten at Bürgerpark Pankow to write and share poetry together — in a simple, grounded way.
No stage.
No microphone.
No pressure.
Bring:
* A poem you love
* A journal + pen
We’ll sit on the benches, take time to write, and then gather in a standing circle to share — if we’d like to.
I’ll guide us through a few short writing prompts and we’ll do 2–3 rounds, depending on the group’s energy.
The focus is on presence, listening, and creative expression — not perfection.
Dress warmly — March can still be crisp.
Duration: approx. 75–90 minutes.
Afterwards, whoever wants can join for tea or coffee nearby.

Arthouse Friday: THE DRAMA at the Drexel Theatre!
Join us as we get together for an Arthouse Movie Friday event to see the A24 dark comedy /romance / psychological-thriller, THE DRAMA! The film stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson as a happily engaged couple whose relationship is challenged when one discovers unsettling truths about the other. Here are details, a trailer and our plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: The film follows a happily engaged couple whose relationship is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails. The film comes from A24, is written/directed by Kristoffer Borgli stars Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates and Zoë Winters.
QUICK WORD OF WARNING: The film hasn’t screened for critics yet and most of the details are being kept tightly under wraps. But, early buzz (possibly promotional) says the film is a brilliant psychological thriller/romance but also provocative, twisty and some contains occasional uncomfortable viewing! I love the cast and trailer, so look forward to seeing for ourselves!
ZENDAYA-PATTINSON TRIFECTA CHALLENGE: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya will star in THREE movies together this year, including THE DRAMA, Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY this Summer and Denis Villeneuve’s DUNE: PART THREE at Christmas!
TRAILER: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zmKcUa4Xxk)
PLAN: We’ll plan for 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but early arrival is advised. Possibly post-movie get-together at the nearby Rusty Bucket! Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Take care and look forward to seeing you there, Dan

Shut Up & Write!® East Side Columbus
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, March 25 at Streetlight Guild.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
**SCHEDULE:**
6:45ish - Quick introductions
7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
8:00 - The End
**OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
**BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild!
**WHAT SHOULD I BRING?**
Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you!
**OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:**
* **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space!
* **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels.
* **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay!
* **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

Disc Tues / Choose Your Movie: TOW vs THEY WILL KILL YOU at the Gateway!
Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of the top-reviewed indie drama TOW or the action-comedy-horror THEY WILL KILL YOU! A winner either way! Here are details, trailer and plan for this event:
TOW: This drama follows a homeless Seattle woman who fights her way out of tow-company hell to reclaim her life and the car that held it all together after receiving a tow bill for $21,634. The film is directed by Stephanie Laing and stars Rose Byrne, Dominic Sessa, Demi Lovato, Ariana DeBose, Octavia Spencer, Simon Rex, Elsie Fisher and Corbin Bernsen. Tow premiered to rave reviews at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival where critics declared, “Tow is a winner” and called the film “a story of perseverance, heart, and real fight, the kind of small human story we see less frequently these days, but need now more than ever!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiUtqgeDVI8
THEY WILL KILL YOU: A woman takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building's history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery. The film is directed by Kirill Sokolov and Zadie Beetz, Myha'la, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette. The film is being released immediately following its premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival earlier this month. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYqQPiXpi4w
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the upstairs lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime! Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase via the GFC website is advised! Once you have yours, please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night!
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
