Workshop: Bindungstypen / Beziehungstypen, Deine Freundschaften & Beziehungen
**💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)**
**Du möchtest Deine Freundschaften, Partnerschaft & Arbeitsbeziehungen verbessern? Dieser Worskhop kann ein großer Schritt dazu sein.**
Beziehungs- und Bindungstypen sind ein weit verbreitetes Modell, um typisches Verhalten in verschiedensten Beziehungen erklären.
Warum klammert jemand? Warum Drama? Warum Rückzug? Warum Kälte? Warum Unsicherheit, Nervosität und Ärger? --- und wie sieht eine sichere & gute Beziehung aus (und fühlt sich an).
Die Annahme: Ereignisse der frühen Kindheit & der Erziehungsstil unserer Eltern prägen, wie wir als Erwachsene unsere Partnerschaften, Freundschaften & Arbeitsbeziehungen leben.
Für manche gut. Für manche weniger gut.
Ich setze mich mit den Beziehungstypen auseinander, weil ich glaube, dass sie einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Gestaltung von Freundschaften haben (und auf Liebesbeziehungen sowie menschliche Beziehungen jeglicher Art).
Dabei habe ich entdeckt, dass ich oft einen vermeidenen Beziehungsstil habe - ich weiche lieber aus, trenne mich oder spreche Probleme nicht an, weil ich wahrscheinlich in meiner Kindheit aus unterschiedlichen Ereignissen gelernt habe... dass bringt eh nichts, ich kann anderen nicht vertrauen, das macht man nicht, meine Bedürfnisse sind nicht wichtig, usw.
In der Auseinandersetzung mit den Beziehungs- / Bindungstypen habe ich bemerkt, wie gut es mit tut, mit anderen mich darüber auszutauschen.
Weil:
* Ich bin nicht allein.
* Ich lernen die Gefühle anderer kennen
* Ich entwickle ein gutes Gefühl für die anderen Beziehungsstile (nicht nur meinen)
* Ich löse das Thema für mich Schritt für Schritt - und werde immer sicher in meinen Bindungen & Beziehungen.
In eine Workshop-Beschreibung zu schreiben, dass ich mich oft beim vermeidenden Beziehungsstil entdecke... ist kein Vermeiderverhalten mehr 😊. Halleluja!
.
**🎁 Das kannst erwarten**
Ich lade Dich zu diesem Workshop ein, damit Du einen weiteren Schritt Richtung mehr Leichtigkeit & Ehrlichkeit in Beziehung gehen kannst. Ich werde eine kleine Einführung zu den Bindungsstilen geben - und dann steht der Austausch miteinander im Mittelpunkt:
* Was sind Situationen, die mich triggern?
* Wie geht es mir dann?
* Wie reguliere ich mein Nervensystem?
Meine Erfahrung ist: Austausch & Offenheit hilft, mit sich selbst und anderen relaxter zu werden.
.
Ein Link oder ein Buch zur Vorbereitung findest Du weiter unten. Es wäre gut, wenn Du eines von beiden bereits gelesen hättest oder von anderer Seite Vorwissen zu den Bindungstypen / Beziehungstypen hast.
.
.
**⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:15 Uhr. Komm am besten schon 18.15 Uhr**
Mantel aufhängen, Toilette, eine Runde schwatzen und los ...
.
**❓ Darf ein zweites Mal kommen?**
Ja, sehr gern. Ich halte es sogar für sinnvoll, mehrfahr zu kommen, wenn Dir der Workshop gefallen hat: Das Thema vertiefen, die eigenen Beobachtungen aus den letzten Wochen verarbeiten und sich mit neuen & alten Bekannten über das Thema weiter austauschen.
💬 **Agenda**
18:15 Uhr - Doors Open & Ankommen
18:30 Uhr - Start des Workshops
* Einführung, Vorstellung
* Kleines Kennenlernen
* Einführung in das Thema durch mich
* Verständnisfragen
* Verschiedene Austauschrunden mit Vertiefungsfragen (der größte zeitliche Anteil)
* Offene Fragen
21:30 Uhr - Ende
.
Zwischendurch machen wir eine kleine Pause.
.
Tausche Dich mit Gleichgesinnten über ein wesentliches Thema Deines Lebens aus. Du kannst immer wählen, mit wem Du Dich in welcher Tiefe unterhalten möchtest. Dein Gegenüber natürlich auch :). Nein heißt nein, Ja heißt Ja 🤗
.
**🏠 Der Veranstaltungsraum**
* Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Kieztreff in Berlin Mitte (mit sauberen Toiletten!).
* nähe Hackescher Markt. Sehr gut mit den Öffis zu erreichen.
* Wenn Du vor Ort ankommst, ist alles ausgeschildert.
.
**🎒 Das bringst Du mit ...**
* Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!)
* Wenn Du magst: Zettel und Stift.
* Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben
* Bargeld für den Wertschätzungsbeitrag (10-20 Euro)
.
📋 **Kann ich mich vorbereiten?**
Ja! Vielen Menschen sind die Beziehungstypen bekannt. Wenn Du etwas Grundwissen hast, ist das sehr nützlich für den Workshop.
Ansonsten empfehle ich diesen Link zu lesen:
Link: [Welcher Beziehungstyp bin ich?](https://chrisbloom.de/blog/welcher-beziehungstyp-bin-ich-mit-test/)
Dieses Buch ist eine sehr gute Einführung in den Workshop. Der Workshop wird sich daran orientieren:
* **[Buch: Warum wir uns immer in den falschen verlieben](https://amzn.to/498A9js) (Werbung, Amazon-Link)**
[Werbung: Als Amazon-Partner verdiene ich an qualifizierten Verkäufen.]
Das Buch orientiert sich an Liebesbeziehungen, die Erkenntnisse sind meiner Meinung nach aber auf alle menschliche Beziehungen anwendbar.
🚫 **Was ist der Workshop nicht:**
Der Workshop ist kein therapeutisches Angebot. Dafür bin ich nicht ausgebildet (bisher noch nicht mal im Selbststudium).
Wenn Du aufgrund der Erkenntnisse beim Lesen des Buches, der Links oder der Gespräche auf dem Workshop zum Ergebnis kommst, dass eine Therapie für Dich sinnvoll sein kann, dann wäre das ein richtig guter Schritt.
.
💫 **Warum der Workshop gut für Dich ist**
* Ich glaube: Niemand ist perfekt. (und gleichzeitig deshalb genau richtig 🙂)
* Ich glaube, dass jeder in wenigstens minimaler Form manchmal Arten von unsicheren Bindungsverhalten zeigt
* Gleichzeitig wird jeder im Leben mit Menschen zu tun haben, die ein unsicheres Bindungsverhalten zeigen.
.
Mit sich selbst und anderen reflektiert umgehen zu können, finde ich eine zentrale Fähigkeit im Leben.
.
Ich finde, dass gute menschliche Beziehungen sind der zentrale Schlüssel zu einem erfüllten Leben sind (das finden laut Jacobsstudie übrigens 85 Prozent der Menschen in Deutschland).
.
Die Bindungstypen / Bindungsverhalten sind meiner Meinung nach ein zentrales Modell, um gute menschliche Beziehungen führen zu können.
.

Become a Landlord/lady. Werde Vermieter:in. On Demand: MON THR 6pm-7pm R.s.v.p.
We make landladies and landlords. They buy a flat and pay just 1/4. Tenants and tax cuts pay 3/4. It's not a trick. It's government policy. Our Federal Governments, past and present, want taxpayers to become landlords and landladies, buy property, rent it out to tenants and enjoy passive income later. Come check this out. No strings attached. No sales. Just a meet and greet for orientation. And an after work drink.
Wir machen Vermieter. Steuerzahler kaufen eine Wohnung und zahlen dafür nur 1/4. Mieter und Finanzamt zahlen 3/4. Das ist kein Trick. Das ist Politik: Alle Bundesregierungen wollen, dass Steuerzahler Wohnungen kaufen, Mieter reinnehmen und später Beton‑Rente bekommen. Info-Abend nur zur Orientierung. Kucken kostet nichts.

Ice bathing together at Treptower Park and surroundings – regular ☀️❄️
**Ice bathing together at Treptower Park and surroundings – regular & reliable ☀️❄️**
Exact time and date - we schedule together! Meetup once a week!
Hello everyone,
I’m looking for a like-minded person (or a small group) who would like to go ice bathing together once a week on a regular basis – preferably at Treptower Park and the surrounding area. The day and time are flexible for me; what matters most to me is reliability and consistency.
I’ve been ice bathing for several years and value this practice greatly: as an energising time in nature, as a shared act of overcoming oneself, and as something that is noticeably beneficial for both body and mind. For me, it has positive effects on health, sleep, and recovery – and it’s a wonderful way to start the next week feeling light, uplifted, and content.
After four years, my previous ice-bathing partner is unfortunately no longer able to join, so I’m now happy to meet new people. I’m open and enjoy coordinating flexibly.
If you already have experience, or if you’re curious and would like to try it out in a committed way, feel free to get in touch. I’m looking forward to the exchange and to arriving together in the cold water.
Warm regards, Till
TIN* Embodied Practices
**TIN\* Embodied Practices**
mit Lux
für **TIN\* (trans\*, inter\*, nicht-binäre, agender und genderqueere Personen)\***
Kostenlos mit **[Anmeldung ](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/tin-embodied-practices/w06-2026)**
**Ein somatischer Bewegungsraum für TIN\*-Körper (trans\*, inter\*, nicht-binäre, agender und genderqueere Personen)**. Inspiriert von Body-Mind Centering®, der Atemarbeit nach Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement und Feldenkrais verbinden die Sessions angeleitete Bewegung, Berührung, Improvisation und Reflexion. Auf Basis von Konsens, Autonomie und Care stärkt die Praxis Körperwahrnehmung, Selbstbestimmung und Resilienz in einer unterstützenden Gemeinschaft.
Ein bewegungsbasierter Raum zur Selbstentfaltung, der sich TIN\*-Körpern (Trans\*, Inter\*, Nicht-binär, einschließlich agender und genderqueer Identitäten) und den Lebenserfahrungen von Menschen widmet, die sich außerhalb traditioneller Cisgender-Definitionen identifizieren.
Diese Praxis ist inspiriert von der Erfahrungsanatomie von Body-Mind Centering®, der Atemarbeit von Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement, Feldenkrais und anderen somatischen Bewegungsansätzen. Berührung, praktische und partnerschaftliche Arbeit, Tanzimprovisationswerkzeuge und kollektive Reflexion werden zu einem integrierten somatischen Bewegungsrahmen verwoben, der auf Zustimmung, Autonomie und Fürsorge basiert. Die Absicht dieses Raums ist es, die Entwicklung von Selbstvertrauen und Resilienz in unserer Körperlichkeit als TIN\*-Menschen zu unterstützen, die körperliche Autonomie zu fördern und Berührungskompetenz innerhalb einer unterstützenden und bewussten Gemeinschaft zu entwickeln.
Jede Sitzung beginnt mit einer geführten somatischen Bewegungsübung, die sich auf die Entwicklung anatomischer Werkzeuge zur Selbstbeobachtung konzentriert. Wir arbeiten mit den fünf Hauptlinien (Arme, Beine, Wirbelsäule), den vier Ecken des Rumpfes (Schultern und Hüften), den drei Hauptgewichtspunkten (Kopf, Brustkorb, Becken) und den beiden Seiten des Körpers. Diese Prinzipien unterstützen die Teilnehmer dabei, sich innerhalb ihrer eigenen körperlichen Architektur zu orientieren und ein verkörpertes Bewusstsein zu entwickeln. Auf dieser Grundlage erweitert sich die Praxis zu gemeinschaftlichen Bewegungen und gemeinsamer räumlicher Gestaltung, einschließlich Zeit für Integration und Reflexion. Bewegung wird als relationale, politische und räumliche Praxis an sich betrachtet.

**TIN\* Embodied Practices**
with Lux
for **TIN\* (Trans\*, Inter\*, Non-binary, agender and genderqueer people)**
Free
**[Registration Required](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/tin-embodied-practices/w16-2026/)**
Drawing from Body-Mind Centering®, breathwork after Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement and Feldenkrais, the sessions combine guided movement, touch-based exploration, improvisation and reflection. Grounded in consent, autonomy and care, the practice supports embodied awareness, bodily autonomy and resilience within a supportive community.
A movement-based and self-development space dedicated to TIN\* bodies (Trans\*, Inter\*, Non-binary, including agender and genderqueer identities) and the lived experiences of people identifying outside traditional cisgender definitions.
This practice draws inspiration from the experiential anatomy of Body-Mind Centering®, the breathwork of Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement, Feldenkrais, and other somatic movement approaches. Touch, hands-on and partnered work, dance improvisation tools, and collective reflection are woven together into an integrated somatic movement framework grounded in consent, autonomy, and care. The intention of this space is to support the cultivation of confidence and resilience in our physicality as TIN\* people, nurture bodily autonomy, and develop touch literacy within a supportive and conscious community.
Each session begins with a guided somatic movement practice focused on developing anatomical tools for self-observation. We work with the five cardinal lines (arms, legs, spine), the four corners of the trunk (shoulders and hips), the three primary weights (head, chest, pelvis), and the two sides of the body. These principles support participants in orienting within their own physical architecture and cultivating embodied awareness. From this foundation, the practice expands into communal movement and shared spatial authorship, including time for integration and reflection. Movement is framed as relational, political, and spatial practice in its own right.
**General Information**
To engage fully in the experience, participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing.
**Participants:** This workshop is intended for people who identify outside traditional cisgender definitions: Trans\*, Inter\*, Non-binary, including agender and genderqueer identities.
**Registration:** This event has limited spots available. Registration via our website is required.
**Language:** This event will be in English.
**Cost:** The event is free of charge.

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.

Tantric Date Night - Tantra workshop for couples
! All sessions in English except for 17.02, 24.02 & 21.03 - these sessions will be in German !
Wanting to connect deeper with your partner? Looking for new ways to be intimate? Hoping to foster love, awareness, and communication in your relationship?
Take some quality time away from the daily grid and explore Tantra together through embodied practice. The practice is designed to foster deeper intimacy, attunement and harmony between the two of you.
Tantra invites you to allow your life force energy to flow without inhibition and to cultivate it for self-realization. Part of the practice is about inviting in more opening. Openness creates union, resistance creates separation. Deep connection, more pleasure and joy are a result of experiencing more openness.
Tantra is for everyone! All couples are welcome regardless of sexual orientation and experience level. Not in a romantic relationship? Feel free to bring anyone you'd like to practice Tantra with.
**What to expect:**
* **Discourse, demo practice and Q&A**: learn about Tantra through discourse, ask your questions
* **Tantra meditation practice**: presence, movement, sound and breath
* **Sharing before and after practice**: share about your fears and desires & reflect on your experience
* **Cozy studio setting**: enjoy a comfortable and intimate environment

**What to bring:**
* Wear comfortable clothing
* Water bottle to stay hydrated

**Workshop facilitator**
Hi! My name is Sophie. My passion for Tantra is rooted in a deep spiritual yearning and an inner knowing that Tantra is my path. My desire to teach Tantra has been sparked by having witnessed my own growth and healing as a result of these practices and it is inspired by a vision to create a more beautiful world.
I create a space that is loving and nurturing, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that you feel save and supported. My workshops are gentle yet transformative, spiritual yet grounded and always heart-centered. I'm passionate about bridging the wisdom of ancient Tantra with modern-day practices.

Adventures in Ecological Horticulture
with Rebecca McMackin
Wednesday, March 18
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens.
Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically.
Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden.
She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY.
Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches.
She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the
Harvard Graduate School of Design.
This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.

American Sign Language Beginners Meetup Group
We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able!
Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Fun & easy way to play more tennis (read event description)
We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches.
These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun!
Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up:

If you love tennis, we’d love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works.
Happy hitting!
