Open Reflection Women's Circle
**Open Reflection Circle** is a small and intimate women’s gathering in Berlin, where we come together in a cozy café to share, reflect, and connect with one another.
In this circle, a small group of around **8–10 women** gathers to spend time in meaningful conversation and reflection. We begin by introducing ourselves and gently creating a space where everyone feels comfortable and welcomed.
Through guided reflection prompts, we explore our journeys, our emotions, and the experiences that shape our lives. These prompts are designed to help you open up and reflect more deeply on your thoughts, your dreams, and the challenges you may be navigating.
We also include a few light and playful exercises to break the ice and help everyone feel relaxed and connected. The intention is not to create pressure to share, but to create an environment where sharing feels natural and safe.
The heart behind the **Open Reflection Circle** is simple:
to bring together women who can hold space for each other and remind one another that we are not alone in our journeys.
This is a space where we can talk honestly about our lives — our visions, our goals, what we are building, and what sometimes holds us back from taking action.
We reflect together on questions such as:
Where do we want to go in life?
What are we dreaming of creating?
What challenges are we facing in our emotional wellbeing or personal growth?
By listening to one another’s stories and perspectives, we often discover insights that we might not have seen on our own.
You are encouraged to bring a **notebook and pen**, as many women like to take notes from reflections, ideas, and inspiration that arise during the conversation.
Toward the end of the gathering, we close with a small and meaningful practice: exchanging short **love letters of gratitude** with each other.
These simple messages help us acknowledge the presence of the women in the circle and leave the space with a feeling of appreciation, connection, and warmth.
The intention of this circle is not advice or fixing each other’s problems.
It is simply to **listen, reflect, learn from one another, and hold space for the beautiful complexity of each woman’s journey.**
🍰The Cheesecake Meetup
Okay, this is a very last-minute one 😄
I’ve had **Princess Cheesecake (Mitte)** saved on my list for a while now, and I thought… why keep waiting? Let's finally try it! 🍰💕
Who’s up for a spontaneous cheesecake + coffee evening ?
We’ll grab some cake, chat, share our favorite Berlin finds, and hopefully make some new connections along the way 🌸
Small warning: the cheesecakes are a little on the pricier side 💸😂 — but maybe it’s one of those places worth trying at least once!
Come solo, come curious, come with your own saved café list ☕✨
📍 Princess Cheesecake — Mitte
🕠 19th June \| 6:00 PM
Would love to meet some of you! 🍰🌷

Für **GBTQ Männer\***
**[ANMELDUNG](https://wearevillage.org/shop/sensual-touch/w25-2026)**
Mitglieder **15 €**
Nicht-Mitglieder **30 €**
In dieser Session richten wir den Fokus nach innen und erforschen, wie das Zusammenspiel von Erregung und Entspannung unser körperlich-sinnliches Erleben beeinflussen kann.
Gleich einem Aufheizen und Abkühlen zwischen Tag und Nacht im Sommer lädt dieses Ritual zu einem spielerischen Ansatz ein, der alle Sinne einbezieht und körperliche Entfaltung ermöglicht, während zugleich das Nervensystem reguliert werden kann. So wie sich die Natur im Sommer vollständig entfaltet, dürfen auch wir uns öffnen und neue sinnliche Erfahrungen entdecken.
Das Ritual begleitet die Teilnehmenden auf einer Reise der Selbsterforschung, intimer Eins-zu-eins-Begegnungen und gemeinsamer Gruppenerfahrungen. Die Erfahrung entfaltet sich in zwei Teilen: Zunächst führt ein\*e Facilitator durch angeleitete Übungen, die Vertrauen und Neugier fördern. Darauf folgt eine freiere und intuitivere Phase, die auf dem im ersten Teil entstandenen sinnlichen Bewusstsein aufbaut. Während der gesamten Erfahrung ist Kleidung optional und persönliche Grenzen werden jederzeit respektiert.
**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.
• Dieser Workshop wird auf Englisch durchgeführt.

**Sensual Play Ritual**
*Sensual Touch Lab Series*
With ***Markus Kaufmann***
For **GBTQ men\***
**[BOOK YOUR TICKET!](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/sensual-touch/w25-2026/)**
Members **15 €**
Regular **30 €**
In this session, we turn our attention inward and explore how the interplay between arousal and relaxation can shape our embodied and sensual experience.
Inspired by the rhythm of heating up and cooling down — like hot summer days followed by cool nights — this ritual invites a playful approach that engages all the senses and encourages full-bodied exploration, while supporting nervous system regulation. Just as nature unfolds in the summer, we too are invited to open ourselves fully and discover new sensory experiences.
This ritual guides participants through a journey of self-exploration, intimate one-to-one encounters, and shared group experiences. The experience unfolds in two parts: it begins with a facilitator-led exploration designed to cultivate trust and curiosity, followed by a more intuitive and open phase that builds on the sensual awareness developed in the first part. Throughout the experience, clothing is optional and personal boundaries are respected at all times.
**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 meaningful connections within the GBTQ+ community through collective experiences.
Combats feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Promotes self-love and acceptance of one’s body and identity.
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**
This format is for all queer men\* / queer masculinities interested in experiencing touch in a safe(r) setting.
Please pay attention to personal hygiene.
Bring a sheet and towel to cover cushions, mats, or massage tables.
This event will be in German and/or English depending on participant needs.
This event is also available at a reduced member price – but not part of the two-free-monthly-events benefit.
Concession tickets upon written request to events@wearevillage.org
Drawing & Board Game Night

Seitai free group session
Come join us for a gentle yet powerful Seitai group practice — a space where silence, breath, and spontaneous movement meet. This is a donation-based event, so you’re free to contribute what feels right (from 0€ to (your choice)€).
✨ What is Seitai?
Seitai (整体) is a Japanese practice that helps you reconnect with your body’s innate intelligence. Through subtle awareness and guided techniques, you’ll be invited to:
Listen deeply to your body through Yuki (a meditative, hands-on practice of sensing and following the breath).
Release hidden tension with Katsugen — allowing involuntary, spontaneous movements to arise naturally.
Find balance in stillness and movement, letting your body recalibrate itself in surprising ways.
Seitai is not about control or forcing; it’s about giving voice to the movements your body has been waiting to express. Sometimes this brings ease, clarity, and lightness. Sometimes it stirs up dizziness, discomfort, or emotions. Every experience is valid — and you are always free to pause or leave at any time.
🌌 Why join?
Discover a practice that many find deeply transformative.
Create space for release, renewal, and vitality.
Explore in community, whether you’re a curious first-timer or already familiar with Seitai.
👕 Practical details
Wear comfortable clothes and bring a towel and water to stay hydrated.
Bring openness and curiosity.
Watchers are welcome — you can simply observe, or dive into active practice.
The session is guided, but the real teacher is your own body.

Komm zu unserer sanften und doch kraftvollen Seitai-Gruppenpraxis – ein Raum, in dem Stille, Atem und spontane Bewegung aufeinandertreffen. Dies ist eine Veranstaltung auf Spendenbasis, du kannst also frei beisteuern, was sich für dich richtig anfühlt (von 0€ bis (deine Wahl)€).
✨ Was ist Seitai?
Seitai (整体) ist eine japanische Praxis, die dir hilft, dich wieder mit der angeborenen Intelligenz deines Körpers zu verbinden. Durch subtile Achtsamkeit und angeleitete Techniken bist du eingeladen:
\*Tief auf deinen Körper zu hören durch Yuki (eine meditative, praktische Übung des Erspürens und Folgens des Atems).
* Verborgene Spannungen mit Katsugen zu lösen – indem du unwillkürlichen, spontanen Bewegungen erlaubst, ganz natürlich zu entstehen.
\*Balance in Stille und Bewegung zu finden, während sich dein Körper auf überraschende Weise selbst neu ausrichtet.
Bei Seitai geht es nicht um Kontrolle oder Zwang; es geht darum, den Bewegungen eine Stimme zu geben, auf deren Ausdruck dein Körper gewartet hat. Manchmal bringt dies Leichtigkeit, Klarheit und Entspannung. Manchmal wirbelt es Schwindel, Unbehagen oder Emotionen auf. Jede Erfahrung ist gültig – und es steht dir jederzeit frei, eine Pause zu machen oder zu gehen.
🌌 Warum teilnehmen?
* Entdecke eine Praxis, die viele als tief transformierend empfinden.
\*Schaffe Raum für Loslassen, Erneuerung und Vitalität.
* Erkunde die Praxis in der Gemeinschaft, egal ob du neugieriger Anfänger bist oder bereits Erfahrung mit Seitai hast.
👕 Praktische Details
\*Trage bequeme Kleidung und bringe ein Handtuch sowie Wasser mit, um hydriert zu bleiben.
* Bringe Offenheit und Neugier mit.
\*Zuschauer sind willkommen – du kannst einfach nur beobachten oder direkt in die aktive Praxis eintauchen.
* Die Sitzung wird angeleitet, aber der wahre Lehrer ist dein eigener Körper.

In diesem Video [00:16] wird Seitai als eine japanische Kulturform beschrieben, die den Organismus wieder in Ordnung bringt („Seitai“ bedeutet „Körper in Ordnung“). Es basiert auf der Beobachtung der natürlichen Lebensenergie und nutzt Bewegungen wie Katsugen Undo [00:32], um die Vitalität zu fördern.
📖 Lies mehr über Seitai: https://seitaibarcelona.com/what-is-seitai/
Jeder ist willkommen, egal ob du völlig neu bist oder Seitai bereits kennst. Bringe bequeme Kleidung und einen offenen Geist mit.
💰 Diese Veranstaltung basiert auf Spenden, um den Raum zu unterstützen und es uns zu ermöglichen, dieses Angebot weiterhin aufrechtzuerhalten. Private Einzelsitzungen sind ebenfalls zu einem erschwinglichen Preis verfügbar.
🌿 Tritt ein in die Stille, den Atem und die spontane Bewegung – dein Körper kennt den Weg.

Access Bars - Ein Kurs nach dem Du schon immer gesucht hast?
Stell dir vor, die kritische Stimme in deinem Kopf, die dir einredet, du seist nicht gut genug oder könntest deine Träume nicht verwirklichen, verstummt. Dies geschieht auf wunderbare Weise durch das sanfte Berühren der Access Bars®-Punkte an deinem Kopf.
Die Anwendung der Bars® hat positive Auswirkungen auf nahezu alle Bereiche deines Lebens: von Körper und Beziehungen über Sexualität, Heilung und der Manifestation von Geld bis hin zur Lebensfreude, Kommunikationsfähigkeit und Kreativität. Limitierende Glaubenssätze werden auf sanfte Art und Weise aufgelöst, negative Emotionen in Kraft verwandelt. Die positive Wirkung der Access Bars® bei Ängsten, Depressionen, ADHS und anderen psychosomatischen Symptomen wurde in Studien belegt.
Du hast die Möglichkeit, die Access Bars bei dir selbst, deinen Lieben und bei Klienten anzuwenden. Möchtest du herausfinden, welche weiteren Veränderungen die Access Bars bewirken können?
Welche wertvolle Toolbox für Transformation du nach diesem Kurstag mit nach Hause nimmst, erfährst du auf meiner Website:
https://www.i-feel-so-good.de/access-consciousness/kurse-ausbildungen/access-bars-kurs.html
Bitte beachte, dass die Kursanmeldung ausschließlich telefonisch möglich ist.
Bei unseren Kennenlerntreffen hast du die Gelegenheit, eine Session zu genießen und dich mit Praktizierenden auszutauschen. Wenn du ein sehr persönliches Thema in der Tiefe bearbeiten möchtest, lade ich dich ein, eine Einzelsession zu vereinbaren.

Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome!
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
**Bring a laptop** and/or anything you’d like to work on, whether it’s a personal project, an experiment, or a skill you want to learn. You can come with friends or meet new people here.

SCHEDULE
Doors open at noon, then we’ll have quick introductions so everyone can share what they’re planning to work on. Note: arriving on time is the best way to hear what others are up to ;) Around 6 pm, we gather to share what we’ve worked on during the day.

Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers
**Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers** is a small, curated gathering in Berlin for two kinds of people who almost never end up in the same room: the ones who build things with code, and the ones who build things with imagination.
Developers and painters. Engineers and writers. Founders and photographers. In daily life these worlds rarely collide — here, that collision is the whole point.
Just a good space, a deliberate mix of curious people, and the freedom to let the evening unfold. Come ready to be surprised by who you meet and where the evening takes you. A room full of curious humans. We’re here to socialize as human beings. And if you do exchange contacts — make it personal, not transactional.
**🛠 If You Build Things**
· Developers & Engineers
· Designers & Product People
· Founders
· People Who Code for Fun
**🎨 If You Create Things**
· Writers & Journalists
· Photographers
· Artists & Painters
· Anyone With a Side Obsession
👉 **You can also join via Luma if this event reaches capacity: https://luma.com/0y2yd2q4**
Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.
**📝 Note:** You are welcome to attend our social meetup! The event is free. The space is generously hosted for us — the only thing we ask is that you support it by buying a drink, etc. A small gesture that keeps evenings like this possible.
**🤝 Community:** This is a space built on curiosity and respect. We keep it that way — for everyone.

Es handelt sich um einen moderierten Workshop für autobiografisches Schreiben in einem sicheren Raum für Selbstreflexion, Erinnerungen und persönliche Geschichten.

**Über den Workshop**
Welche Geschichten tragen wir in uns? Welche Erinnerungen wollen erzählt, verstanden oder neu betrachtet werden?
Dieser Workshop versteht sich als sicherer Raum, in dem es ermöglicht werden soll, Erlebnisse und Gefühle zu teilen. Das autobiografische Schreiben dient als Werkzeug der Selbstreflexion und inneren Klärung.
**Was dich erwartet:**
In diesem Workshop arbeiten wir mit gezielten Impulsen, die helfen, eigene Erinnerungen und Lebenserfahrungen in Worte zu fassen. Du schreibst vor Ort, kannst deine Texte mit der Gruppe teilen (freiwillig!) und erhältst achtsames Feedback.
Die Atmosphäre ist vertraulich und unterstützend. Hier dürfen auch schwierige Themen Raum finden. In dieser geschützten Umgebung entsteht der Mut, tiefer zu gehen und sich auf den eigenen Lebensweg einzulassen.
I WRITE – A Silent Writing Club (Just You & Your Words)
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:**
* 14:30 - 15:00 **→** 30 min arriving, optional socialising (arrive early, meet other writers)
* 15:00 - 16:00 **→** 1 hour of silent writing (headphones welcome, focus encouraged)
* 16:00–16:30 **→** 30 mins break + optional chat or solo time (stay and chat or go celebrate the rest of your Saturday)
* 16:30–17:30 → 1 more hour of silent writing (for those staying)
* 17:30–18:00 → 30 mins of chat, and leaving
🎒 **Bring:**
* Something to write with (laptop, notebook, phone, typewriter… anything goes)
* Something to drink (there is no cafeteria, unfortunately)
* 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 **Heinrich Schulz Library in Charlottenburg**. In the library, go look for the Gruppenraum; I will be waiting for you there. Any trouble finding the room, I will come to meet you outside.
* 🚇 U7 **Richard-Wagner-Platz**
* 🚌 M45 Bus **U Richard-Wagner-Platz**
**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.
