Travel Writing

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. Let's write together!

Für Mitglieder von Text Collective Berlin ist die Teilnahme an dieser Veranstaltung kostenlos. Nicht-Mitglieder werden um einen Teilnahmebeitrag von zehn Euro gebeten. Hier buchen: [https://textcollective.de/ticket](https://textcollective.de/ticket) Es handelt sich um einen moderierten Workshop. Bei mehr als 20 Teilnehmenden teilen wir die Gruppe mit zwei Moderator\*innen auf! Kreative Schreibübung mit anschließender Diskussion zum Erfahrungsaustausch, Inspiration und Motivation zu sammeln. Ein Raum für alle, die kreativ schreiben möchten – egal ob du gerade erst anfängst oder schon länger schreibst. **Jeden vierten Samstag des Monats von 14:30 Uhr bis 16:30 Uhr in Kreuzberg, Oranienstr. 72, nahe U-Bhf Moritzplatz.** **Was dich erwartet:** In unseren Treffen arbeiten wir mit abwechslungsreichen Schreibimpulsen, die neue Perspektiven eröffnen und spielerisches Experimentieren ermöglichen. Du schreibst direkt vor Ort, teilst deine Texte mit der Gruppe (freiwillig!) und erhältst konstruktives Feedback. Die Atmosphäre ist offen und unterstützend. Hier darf ein Text noch unfertig sein, eine Idee noch roh, ein Gedanke noch unausgereift. In dieser Atmosphäre gegenseitiger Wertschätzung entsteht der Mut, sich auszuprobieren und die eigene Stimme zu entdecken. Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rückmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das Zuhören.

📅 **Date:** 28 March ⏰ **Time:** 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM 📍 **Meeting Point:** Apostel-Paulus-Kirchengemeinde near U Eisenacher Straße (U7) 🎮 **Challenge Duration:** 1 hour shooting + 15 minutes scoring 📸 **Max Photos:** 15 per team 💰 **Player Contribution:** 2 Euros Since the first event was **awesome** let's do another one. Join me for a playful **photo challenge** where you’ll spend an hour exploring the neighborhood like you’re visiting it for the very first time. We’ll wander past neon signs, street-art explosions, colorful corners, stairwells, murals, markets, and hidden details you normally walk right past. Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to: ### **Capture Schöneberg with fresh eyes — find colors, small surprises, and moments that a tourist would notice.** Anyone with a phone can join. Come solo or bring friends — we’ll make teams on the spot! *** ## 🕹 **How the Challenge Works** **3:30 PM – Meet at Apostel-Paulus-Kirchengemeinde** We’ll greet everyone, form teams (2–3 people), and explain the rules. **Start your walk — 1 hour of exploring + shooting** Turn on **Tourist Mode** and rediscover the neighborhood. Your team can submit up to **15 photos** that best fit the theme. You can use one phone or combine photos from multiple team members. **15 minutes of scoring** Once time is up, we will gather at a cafe where teams will anonymously score photos from other teams based on creativity, theme fit, and overall vibe. Each team will score one photo from every other team. **Leaderboard reveal + Prize!** Results appear instantly. The top team wins a prize! You’ll receive a link at the meetup to register your team, upload photos, and score other teams. *** ## 🌆 **Why Join?** * See the neighborhood in a totally new way * Meet new people and explore together * Get a fun walk outdoors * Boost your creativity and photo eye * Enjoy a friendly, light-hearted competition * Optional hangout afterward at a nearby café/restaurant *** ## ❓ **FAQ** **Do I need a fancy camera?** Nope! Your phone is perfect. **Can I join alone?** Absolutely — we’ll create teams at the start. **How big are the teams?** Usually 2–3 people, depending on turnout. **What if I’m late?** Try to be on time, but if you’re a few minutes late, send a message in the Meetup chat and we’ll do our best to place you in a group. **Is it competitive?** Just enough to be fun! The vibe is friendly, creative, and social. **What should I bring?** * Charged phone * Comfortable shoes * Weather-appropriate clothing * (Optional) A friend * (Optional) Tourist-level curiosity 😉 **Where do we see the leaderboard?** Right on the platform using the link we’ll share.

Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! We will do at least two sessions of each 45 minutes of writing and two breaks. We will start the first writing session at 11:15. **For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**. We often have a large waiting list, and not updating your RSVP or not showing up if you do RSVP yes means that others miss out. We also ask that if you do change your RSVP, do it with reasonable notice. Thanks! We typically take over all of the cafe, but try to share tables if you can to allow space for other customers. If you are new, come and say hello, as we know that suddenly going quiet for 45 minutes and staring at that blank page can be intimidating when it's your first time. We have a lot of long-term regulars who will be happy to help you feel welcome. In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com/).

Hike along the Polish border to Germany’s oldest-running monastery, through the Neisse valley, and the Lusatian forests. TICKETS AVAILABLE [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/marienthal-monastery-and-eastern-valley-spring-trails-tickets-1983248894832?aff=oddtdtcreator) *Walk through some of the most pristine woodlands in East Germany, along the mystic woodlands of the Neisse valley, cross the border into Poland, and capture some of the delicate beauty of this untouched borderland. Along the way, we will see the renowned gardens of the Marienthal monastery, some of the region's best vineyards, and dine in historic kitchens.* Hike Distance: 15km Difficulty: Intermediate Needed: Hiking clothes / shoes (passport) WHY GO? With Spring on the way and winter finally being put to rest, it's time to go outside and venture out into nature. This 15km forest hike journeys through some of the most beautiful nature spots in East Germany. The Neiße has carved a picturesque valley with river meadows, wooded slopes, and natural riverbanks that feel wild and peaceful, with a landscape shaped over millennia. The walk starts in the Polish town of Krzewina Zgorzelecka, heads through the historic town of Ostritz, and around and over the St. Marienthal monastery, one of the oldest continuously operating Cistercian monasteries in Germany. The hike carries along a pilgrimage route, and along the way, there are also small historic landmarks and educational points, including old crosses and views of both German and Polish landscapes along the river. The hike is a chance to leave the city, connect with a bunch of like-minded people, and breathe some of the fresh, cool air. And to cap the trip off, we’ll spend time in the monastery, enjoying lunch in the traditional kitchen. **WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?** * Kloster St. Marienthal: Germany’s oldest-running Cistercian monastery that dates back to 1234, with its picturesque monastery and garden * Neiße River Valley: It’s one of the most beautiful areas of nature, untouched, littered with hillsides, industrial relics, and local education centers. * Ostritz: Perched on the Polish border, this ancient Lusatian town typifies the architecture and history of the local area, with its quaint roads and beautiful town square. * Germany’s Easternmost Vineyard: Right next to the monastery grounds is a small historic vineyard — the easternmost in Germany. It’s a surprising sight in this far-eastern corner of Saxony and adds a Mediterranean touch to the landscape. **Tour Guide** Tour will be led by travel author and guide Dan Cole, who has worked previously for Lonely Planet, Easyjet Magazine, and Lufthansa, and has several published travel guides about Berlin and beyond.

If you come to S Treptower Park: Walk along the riverside. Behind the bridge that crosses the river to an island, you'll find a car park that borders Plänterwald. Stefanie walks that path, I'll be waiting directly on the car park. A four year running tradition: We meet near S Treptower Park, walk to Plänterwald and collect wild garlic to make our own Pesto. Der **Wunderlauch** (Allium paradoxum), auch **Berliner Bärlauch** genannt, stammt ursprünglich aus dem **Kaukasus** und wurde als Zier- oder Nutzpflanze nach Mitteleuropa eingeführt. In Berlin, insbesondere im **Plänterwald**, hat er sich stark ausgebreitet und gilt dort als **invasive Art**. Wir sammeln die Blätter, waschen sie, mörsern sie mit Nüssen und Öl und essen frisches Pesto auf gutem Brot :)

(Kindly RSVP 'yes' only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and our fellow readers on the waitlist!) This page-turning party will unfold in the Café (1st floor) at the Bode Museum.

*Do you feel like all your texts sound the same, or are you simply stuck in a writing rut? You’re in good company—but it doesn’t have to stay that way! In this writing workshop, you’ll consciously shift your perspective and watch your stories come to life (again), perhaps even surprising you in the process.* Instead of telling everything from your usual perspective, you try out new points of view: you write from other people’s voices, observe like a camera, slip into characters, things, or places. With playful exercises, short moments of mindfulness, and guided writing prompts, you break away from „this is how I always write“ and find completely new approaches to your texts. You don’t need any finished ideas, a „perfect style,“ or talent. Just curiosity and a desire to experiment. **The workshop will help you:** * Overcome writer’s block * Find new perspectives for your writing * Write more creatively and boldly * Break out of stuck patterns * Create lively, multi-layered stories * Rediscover the joy and ease of writing Through several playful writing phases, reflection, and exchange, you will learn that sometimes all it takes is a new perspective—and a whole new story emerges. This workshop is part 4 of the workshop series „The Mindful Artist’s Way“ and can be booked individually or as part of a package. It’s never too late to join, and each workshop is self-contained and effective on its own. All you need is yourself + a laptop or pen and paper. If you like to write with music in your ears, feel free to bring headphones—I’ve prepared a playlist for you. It’s best to wear something comfortable so that you can move freely and feel completely at ease. **Participation fee: €15** **Please sign up with Sarah at kontakt@sarahniklowitz.de**

Bringt gute Laune, schönes Wetter und Interesse mit. Wir treffen uns je nach Tour an unterschiedlichen Orten. Am 1. April 2018 um 15 Uhr gehts los am Eingang zur Akademie der Künste am Pariser Platz neben dem Brandenburger Tor.

Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you.
