**BABYS (0-1) um 15.30Uhr** Musikalische Früherziehung für Babys (im Alter von 0 bis 1) Musik, Melodie, Rhythmus, Klang und Geräusche spielen schon von Geburt an eine wichtige Rolle. Gemeinsames Musizieren ist für Babys "Nahrung" für Körper, Seele und Geist. Deswegen möchten wir zusammen mit Eltern (oder Bezugspersonen) und ihren Babys singen, musizieren, Klänge erleben sowie tanzen und viel Freude mit Kniereiterliedern, Wiegenliedern, aber auch Lieder für die eigene Körpererfahrung haben. Zum Tanzen singen und hören wir Bewegungssongs oder auch klassische Stücke. Die Babys probieren sich während Klanggeschichten mit den Instrumenten, die im offenen Wohnzimmer zur Verfügung stehen, aus. **KLEINKINDER (1-3) um 16.20Uhr** Kleinkinder (1-3) mit ihren Eltern sind herzlich eingeladen ins Offene Wohnzimmer zum gemeinsamen Singen und Musizieren!

Das Interesse der Kinder an allem was klingt und singt wollen wir in unserem Musikkurs aufgreifen. Dabei geht es um die kreative Entdeckung der Klänge und Töne, die Förderung der eigenen Stimme und das Erleben von Rhythmus und Bewegung. Die Instrumente, die uns im offenen Wohnzimmer zur Verfügung stehen, sollen die Kinder mitunter kennen- und spielen lernen. In familiärer Atmosphäre möchten wir den Kinder in diesem Kurs ein Grundverständnis von Musik vermittelt, nicht aber das konkrete Noten lesen wie es bspw. im Klaviereinzelunterricht oder in der Schule der Fall sein kann. Im Vordergrund stehen Spiel und Spaß am Musizieren. Für alle Kurse gilt: \*\*\* Keine Anmeldung erforderlich. \*\*\* Teilnahme auf Spendenbasis Gesa ist Musikerin, Sängerin, Gesangspädagogin und zertifizierte Singleiterin für Heilsames Singen. Nach über 20 Jahren als Opern- und Konzertsängerin liegt ihr Fokus heute auf dem musikalischen Früherziehung.

Welcome to **I WRITE**, a gentle space for anyone who wants to write—quietly, freely, and without judgement. We are a Berlin community of writers who gather together weekly to write, talk and recharge after a long week. Some of us journal, some write novels, some do academic writing, many people come without a project in mind and see where the inspiration flow takes them. This is a space to simply show up and write, a safe place to be yourself and to release all your layers onto the paper. There’s no set topic, no feedback circle, and no pressure. Just warm people, a calm atmosphere, and time dedicated to yourself. ️ **Agenda:** * 18:30 - 19:00 **→** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers) * 19:00 - 20:00 **→** 1 hour of silent writing (headphones welcome, focus encouraged) * 20:00–20:30 **→** 30 mins break + optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your evening) **Bring:** * Something to write with (laptop, notebook, phone, typewriter… anything goes) * Your current project or a blank page * Yourself, exactly as you are ** Responsibility:** * Our location is limited; thus, I am kindly asking you to RSVP only if you are willing to attend. **Location:** * We meet at the Iska Cafe at Kalckreuthstraße 7, 10777 Berlin. There is no pin at the google maps yet, so please just come directly to the location and find us at the right door at Erdgeschoss. * **U1\, U2 Wittenbergplatz \|\| U1\, U2\, U3\, U4 Nollendorfplatz** * **106\, 187\, M19\, M29 An Der Urania \|\| M46 Motzstraße** **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 and is now extended to the Café as well. 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!

**A down-to-earth men's circle** **for self-care, connection and resilience this Winter** *This month's focus: How does play and fun look in mid-winter?* When nights are long and the sun is scarce, Berlin can feel cold and lonely. *Wolf Huddle* offers a way to balance that out. Each month men gather to practice self-care in supportive community. Through guided group and individual activities, we explore mental wellbeing, nervous-system regulation, and simple strategies to bring calm and connection into the darker months — tactics to keep the oxytocin batteries charged. **What we’ll do** Each session blends conversation, reflection, movement, learning, and optional platonic touch. You’ll be invited to name your own needs, set your own boundaries, support others, and join exercises shaped by the group: From handshakes and supportive contact — perhaps gentle massage or other ways you’d like to be nurtured physically — to self-regulation exercises, journalling, storytelling, and guided visualisations. **What it's for** Wolf Huddle is a chance to explore trust and fraternal bonds, the warmth and strength of relaxed company. We huddle not like a sports team, but in mutual respect and support. Along the way you may learn to feel more at ease saying 'no', release a little loneliness, or make some room for clarity, care, and joy. **What it’s not** Not a cuddle event or casual hangout. It’s a professionally facilitated, trauma-sensitive space where your boundaries are welcome and your sovereignty is central. **Reserve your spot** via [bank transfer](https://zigmal.org/wolf-huddle/), adding *Wolf Huddle + your first name*, and a *contact method* Contribution for BMG members: **35 €** standard **25 €** low income\* If you decide to show up spontaneously on the evening, you're welcome to bring cash - but it is helpful for the planning to know in advance that you'll be coming. ֎ Bring a notebook, pen, and comfortable clothing ֎ The space is shoe-free, so warm socks are welcome. ֎ Cancel up to 24 h ahead for a full refund. *\*Some men have asked what counts as 'low income': You're not expected to provide any kind of proof of being on a low income - it's entirely up to you... if €35 feels like too high a hurdle for you at the moment, then feel free to use the lower option.* **About the facilitator** **Hans** here from the Berlin Men’s Group. I'm a certified systemic trauma counsellor and touch trainer with twelve years of specialising in men's issues. I enjoy bringing depth, creativity and humour to my work. ***Maybe it’s just what you need? Come along and see for yourself.*** *Wolf Huddle is a project by Zigmal e.V. – [zigmal.org](http://zigmal.org/)*

Talk & Workshop - **Exploring The Inner Commons** a deep dive into personal sustainability by Scott Bolden, Founder of Baumhaus Berlin Workshop from 18:30 - 20:00 If you really want to make the world a better place then a great place is to start with yourself because no matter where you go or what you do, you can not escape yourself... Besides, doesn't it make sense that a truly sustainable society would be composed of more balanced individuals? **The Inner Commons is an intuitively understandable, flexible and contextual framework** developed by Scott Bolden that can be used to catalyze a process of self understanding and resolving common issues we all deal with. The concepts discussed in this workshop are based on simple, root level, universal experiences of the human condition and a bit of common sense. Because of this, insights that participants gain about themselves can also provide insights to understanding and resolving issues with others as well. Requirements: comfortable clothing, a notebook and an open mind... Please confirm participation with a short email to info@baumhausberlin.de with the subject: Inner Commons Donate-as-you-feel after the workshop (includes coffee, tea, water & snacks) We ask participants to consider: • their personal budget • the value of their experiences during the workshop in the Baumhaus • the value of supporting the Baumhaus so that we can continue facilitating these and various other types of experiences \-\-\-\-\- support Baumhaus crowdfunding campaign ( https://www.goodcrowd.org/saving-das-baumhaus ) Baumhaus Berlin Gerichtstr. 23 VH Eg 13347 Berlin

An afternoon bookclub, organized by our member Patrick Rutledge. We will meet in the café of this cultural center and talk about what we are currently reading :) and, if we've time, chat in general about books. Please also feel free to read a sample from you book if you wish. Usually we read both fiction and non-fiction (history, philosophy, sociology, and other topics). Bring your Kindle, your tablet, or your paper books. The discussion will be in English, but of course feel free to bring books in any language.

At night you can go to a night club. During the day it's time for Day Club! Stop by Baumhaus between 13:00 and 20:00 to enjoy Day Club, a resonant way to spend time in a unique and inspiring atmosphere! The main room is an Open Greeting Zone where you can feel free to introduce yourself to anyone around and expect the same in return. Get to know interesting people, get some work done or have a meeting in the quiet space, dance in the main room, prepare group meals in the kitchen, enjoy healthy drinks and snacks or feel free to bring your own. No need to get drunk or hang out in a smokey room late at night to get your social fix or have some fun connecting with yourself and others. We will have great playlists and even some dj's, beat makers and other live artists from time to time. There will also be free and donation based workshops for Day Clubbers. Feel free to suggest program and topics. Entry - 10€ - 20€ pay for the value of your experience, not material stuff!

**Come together. Read. Talk about it.** Vielleicht liest du viel und vermisst Gespräche darüber. Vielleicht hast du Lust, neue Menschen kennenzulernen – in einem entspannten, ungezwungenen Rahmen. Lesen verbindet, und genau dafür ist dieser Club gedacht. Dieser *Social Reading Club* ist für Menschen, die gern lesen und sich genau das wünschen: mehr Zeit dafür – und Raum für Austausch mit anderen, die das genauso fühlen. Wir treffen uns in einem Café am **Platz der Luftbrücke in Kreuzberg**. Nicht als klassischer Buchclub mit Vorgaben oder Pflichtlektüre, sondern als gemeinsames Innehalten: jede\*r liest für sich, egal ob Zeitung, dicker Roman oder Sachbuch. Im eigenen Tempo. Danach kommen wir ins Gespräch – ganz natürlich, ohne Erwartung. Dein Handy kannst du dabei weglegen – ich behalte die Zeit für dich im Blick. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . **So sieht ein Treffen aus** Der Vormittag besteht aus **einer Leseeinheit**. Wir kommen an, bestellen etwas und richten uns ein. Dann lesen wir, zusammen, in Stille – konzentriert, jede\*r für sich. Zum Abschluss gibt es ein lockeres Kennenlernen und Austauschen – über das, was wir gerade lesen, und das, was es bei uns auslöst: Gedanken, Eindrücke, Stellen, die hängen geblieben sind. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . **ℹ️ Hinweise** * Wir treffen uns in einem Café und sind dort normale Gäste. Also plane bitte ein, dort etwas zu bestellen. * Die Teilnahme selbst ist vorerst kostenlos. Als kleinen Ausgleich für die Organisation und um die monatlichen Meetup-Gebühren zu decken, freue ich mich über eine **kleine** **Spende** (Richtwert: 2 € bis 5 €) – vor Ort in **bar** oder per **PayPal**. * Eine Vorbereitung ist nicht erforderlich. Alles, was du tun musst, ist, etwas zum Lesen mitzubringen. * Die Treffen finden auf Deutsch statt. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . **️ Agenda** **11:00 Uhr** Ankommen, Einrichten & etwas bestellen **11:15 – 12:30 Uhr** Stille Leseeinheit (konzentriertes Lesen, jede\*r für sich – gerne Kopfhörer mitbringen, falls es im Café etwas voller wird) **12:30 – 13:30 Uhr** Austausch, Kennenlernen & Ausklang

This Month's Book: The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen. Join us for discussion at the Granville Public Library from 6 to 7pm. Follow us on Instagram: @granvillepridebookclub

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

Welcome, readers! Our February read is **_1984 by George Orwell._** In 1984, George Orwell imagines a world where the government watches everyone, rewrites reality, and punishes even private thoughts. Winston Smith dares to question this system, believing that truth and love might still exist. His rebellion draws him into a chilling struggle against a power that knows him better than he knows himself. The novel leaves readers asking whether freedom is possible when reality itself can be controlled. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading!

This meeting will be an open discussion about the book "an Immense World" by Ed Yong

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
