¿Te apetece pasar una tarde agradable jugando a juegos de mesa y conociendo gente nueva en un ambiente relajado y cercano? Este encuentro está pensado precisamente para eso: socializar, conectar y pasarlo bien, sin importar si ya conoces los juegos o si es tu primera vez en el grupo. 🎲 ¿Qué tipo de juegos jugamos? Elegimos juegos accesibles, dinámicos y sociales, no solo juegos largos o complicados. Por ejemplo: Juegos rápidos y ligeros como 6 nimmt!, Love Letter o Sushi Go Juegos de interacción y risas como Codenames, Dixit o Exploding Kittens Juegos de deducción social como The Resistance, Salem o Werewolves Y, si apetece, algún juego un poco más estratégico, siempre explicado con calma 👉 No importa si es tu primera vez en el grupo: explicamos las reglas y elegimos juegos accesibles para que todo el mundo se sienta cómodo desde el principio. El juego es solo la excusa para socializar y conectar de forma natural. 🌱 Un espacio seguro y diverso Solemos ser un grupo diverso, abierto y con muy buen rollo, donde se respeta a todo el mundo. Queremos crear un entorno amable, sin juicios, en el que cualquiera pueda sentirse a gusto. 🗣️ En español (o para practicarlo) Si hablas español o te apetece practicarlo en un entorno amable y natural, estarás más que bienvenida/o. El grupo suele estar formado por personas de distintos orígenes y niveles, y la comunicación fluye de manera relajada. Si te apetece conocer gente de forma tranquila, sin presión y con los juegos como punto de encuentro, este plan es para ti. ¡Te esperamos! 😊

for **LGBTQIA+** **[free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/buddyprogram-meetup/w07-2026/)** Welcome to our second “we are village” Buddy Program event. Buddy Program is a community project that helps queer people in Berlin find a supportive community to navigate the city, discover hidden gems, and build genuine friendships. At this welcome event, we will introduce our Buddy Program and we will provide you with an opportunity to meet other queer people who share your interests and passions. We will have some fun games and provide room for genuine connections to form. **More about the program** The Buddy Program was created for queer people living in Berlin. Whether you’re new to Berlin or a long-time local who loves sharing your city. Or if you’re already settled but you’d like to “step up” your relationships and engage on a deeper level. The Buddy Program values deep connections, meaningful conversations, and community care. By combining in-person meetups, online interaction through the **we are village** app, and interest-based matching, the program creates a space for mutual support, deeper connection, and a sense of solidarity. **I’m not a new arrival to Berlin but I’d love to share my tips and tricks about Berlin!** Everyone, regardless of their experience, is welcome. Our first goal is to connect people. **General information** Language: This event will be in German and/or English depending on participant needs. **Cost**: This event is free of charge. 🔵 **[kostenlos mit Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/buddyprogram-meetup/w07-2026/)** Willkommen zu unserem zweiten „we are village“ Buddy-Programm-Event.

Durch eine Kombination aus persönlichen Treffen, Online-Interaktion über die we are village App und interessenbasiertem Matching schafft das Programm einen Raum für gegenseitige Unterstützung, tiefere Verbindungen und ein Gefühl der Solidarität.

Ministry to God and others, and God ministering to us.

**We are starting into a new round of having some human magic happen :)** **What to expect at an Authentic Games Berlin event?** Authentic Relating is embodied communication practice. We search for authenticity – staying true to your needs, feelings and boundaries – while relating to other human beings with their needs, feelings and boundaries. **Theme of the evening: Love** What does it mean to truly love - ourselves, each other, the world we move through? Love is a word we use easily, yet its textures, shapes, and expressions are endlessly diverse. In this session, we invite you to slow down and explore the many ways love can live in us: the tenderness, the courage, the boundaries, the longing, the generosity, the quiet presence that asks for nothing in return. Over two hours, we will sense into the qualities and values that form our personal understanding of love. Through guided Authentic Relating games, we will make space to feel love in the body, to notice its nuances, and to discover how differently - and how similarly - it can show up for each of us. Together, we will expand our capacity to love and be loved, while honoring a simple truth: every one of us is 100% lovable. This evening is an invitation to meet love not as an ideal, but as a lived experience - something we can cultivate, express, and receive with more awareness and more ease. As always: Come curious and leave connected. Join us on Tuesday, **10th Feb** 2026 at **Café Maggie**, [Frankfurter Allee 205, 10365 Berlin](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Frankfurter%20Allee%20205%2C%2010365%20Berlin), **7–9 pm** (please come to land up to 15 minutes earlier, as we start at the full hour, doors close at 7pm) **Price** The event is donation based. Cash or PayPal only, no registration needed. Suggested donation: 8-20 €. No one will be turned away due to the lack of funds. **What to bring?** Nothing but you. You have everything you need to take part in this experience of human connection. **Everyone is welcome to join. Even if you are on the waitlist here on Meet-Up, please come and join us - we will have a spot for you.** **No previous experience with Authentic Relating Practices needed.** **Spread the word. Bring a friend - all are welcome. We look forward to seeing you there.** **Accessibility and diversity note** We aim to make our Authentic Games events accessible and diverse. We would like to explicitly welcome everybody, regardless of age, social background, identity, body shape, (dis)abilities etc. We put effort into dismantling biases and systems of oppressions we participate in as well as meeting various access needs. Feel free to contact us at [[authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com](http://authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com)]([mailto:authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com](http://mailto:authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com)) if you have any concerns or questions in this regard. Authentic Games events are based on talking and listening to other people in pairs, trios or bigger groups. Depending on the number of participants, this may generate a considerable level of noise in the space. The event is held in English with possible translation to German or Polish. While playing the game you can talk in a language you choose with your partner(s). Sometimes the games may also involve movement (for example walking). Consensual touch with other participants is allowed but never necessary. The upcoming event is happening in Café Maggie at Frankfurter Allee 205 – next to U-Bahn Magdalenenstraße. The space is on the ground floor, but there is one small doorstep at the entrance. There is a barrier free toilet inside. Despite the name, you cannot buy drinks in Café Maggie, but we provide water and tea for participants.

### The Question of Feminism: History, Politics, Society, and Psychology Feminism addresses the historical and ongoing disadvantage of women in society. It begins with the recognition that women were long denied legal rights, political participation, economic independence, and control over their own bodies. From this starting point, feminism examines how inequality has been created and maintained through laws, institutions, social norms, knowledge production, and cultural practices—and how these structures shape everyday life and women’s internal experiences. In this session, we will focus on the following topics: 1. **Historical exclusion of women from legal rights, education, political power, and economic independence** 2. **Political regulation of women’s work, income, citizenship, and bodily autonomy** 3. **Social expectations surrounding motherhood, care work, and emotional labor** 4. **Psychological effects of gender norms, including self-confidence, ambition, guilt, and mental health** 5. **Social, medical, and political control of women’s bodies and sexuality** 6. **Marginalization and underrepresentation of women in science, education, and cultural production** 7. **Differences in women’s experiences shaped by class, race, migration background, disability, and age** 8. **Contemporary forms of discrimination against women in workplaces, healthcare, relationships, and public space** This will be an open and focused conversation grounded in historical realities, political structures, social practices, psychological experience, and intersectional perspectives. Together, we’ll reflect on how feminism connects material conditions, power relations, and inner lives—and why addressing all of these dimensions is essential for understanding and challenging women’s inequality today. 📅 **Event Details** 🗓️ **Date:** Saturday, 14 February 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 14:00 📍 **Location:** Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin 📱 **WhatsApp (for prep materials and directions):** 👉 **[Join Group Chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H)**
