Mystery Salon at Lilium: Tarot, Jung & the Shadow
Welcome to the mystical world of Tarot.
The Tarot has been used since the 16th century as a tool for divination & inner reflection. Yet very few understand the mechanism behind how it works, and how to apply it toward uncovering hidden aspects of the psyche. Through a mix of intellectual discussion and practical exercises, we will dive into the connection between Tarot, Jungian psychology, and our inner worlds- leaving participants with a greater understanding of how to use Tarot as a tool for inner reflection and guidance in their personal lives.
Door open at 6:30, event starts at 7pm.
We will have light refreshments, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
Tickets are donation based and recommended for 10 € via pre-registration ([link here](https://rausgegangen.de/en/events/mystery-salon-at-lilium-tarot-jung-the-shadow-0/)) or 15 € at the door.
We recommend bringing a notebook or journal, and optionally, a deck you'd like to practice with. Whether you are a novice or expert- all levels are welcome- perhaps we can learn something from you?
This salon is part of a special event series taking place in the beautiful and intimate setting of Lilium (Pfuelstrasse 5). Every Wednesday in April we gather for intellectual discussion around a range of topics at the intersection of spirituality, science, and self-improvement.

Sprachklub für Russischlernende Nr. 113
Der Sprachklub bietet einen Raum, um Russisch in entspannter und freundlicher Atmosphäre zu sprechen. Die Treffen ermöglichen nicht nur, vorhandene Kenntnisse zu festigen, sondern auch den Wortschatz durch lebendige Gespräche und spannende Themen zu erweitern. Hier hat jeder die Möglichkeit, neue interessante Menschen kennenzulernen, eigene Erfahrungen zu teilen, und mehr über die russische Kultur zu erfahren.
Die Feier des Tages der Kosmonauten wird in diesem Jahr besonders: Am 12. April jährt sich der erste bemannte Raumflug zum 65. Mal. Anlässlich dieses bedeutenden Ereignisses wird das bevorstehende Treffen des Sprachklubs Juri Gagarin gewidmet: seiner Heldentat und seiner Persönlichkeit. Darüber hinaus stehen moderne Kosmonauten und aktuelle Raumfahrtprogramme im Mittelpunkt. Die Teilnehmer werden darüber sprechen, vor welchen Herausforderungen diese außergewöhnlich spannende Profession steht und was ihre Vertreter antreibt. Die Gäste erwartet eine spannende Diskussion über aktuelle Weltraumforschung, den Platz des Menschen im Universum und die Perspektiven, die der Menschheit bei der Erforschung des Weltraums offenstehen.
Monthly Book Club Meeting - April
Dear Book Enthusiasts,
For our April gathering, we’ll be reading *Satantango* by the Hungarian writer **László Krasznahorkai**.
First published in 1985, this haunting and hypnotic novel unfolds in a decaying Hungarian village after the fall of a collective farm. As rumors spread that the long-absent Irimiás has returned, the remaining residents are drawn into a slow-moving dance of hope, manipulation, despair, and illusion. *Satantango* explores the fragility of belief, the psychology of communities in decline, and the uneasy space between redemption and deception.
📅 Date & Time: 12.04.2026 at 15:00
📍 Location: Audrey coffee, Holzendorffstraße 18, 14057 Berlin
💬 Fee: As always, a 3 € contribution after the meeting helps cover organization costs
I’m very much looking forward to discussing this darkly atmospheric and philosophically rich novel with you — and to sharing another thoughtful afternoon together.
Warmly,
Sofya
I WRITE @ Iska Café – A Cozy Silent Writing Club
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 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.

**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!
Achtsames Kuscheln für Frauen - Berlin Weißensee - 11.04.2026
Kuscheln für Frauen darf echt sein. Leicht. Tief. Bewegend.
Hier darf Frau kichern, Nähe spüren und Kraft tanken.
Es entsteht eine Verbindung, die nährt – achtsam, klar und wohltuend.
Kuscheln kann vieles sein: spielerisch, ruhig, tief, warm oder einfach nur entspannend. Finde heraus, was dir gut tut.
Wir – Ava & Melanie – begleiten dich durch deine Kuschelerfahrung in Berlin. Als ausgebildete Therapeutinnen mit einer tiefen Liebe für Körperarbeit, Verbindung und Präsenz schaffen wir Räume, in denen du dir selbst und anderen echt begegnen kannst – spielerisch, liebevoll, nährend.
Unsere Kuschelevents sind geprägt von Achtsamkeit, Klarheit und innerem Einvernehmen. Hier darf Frau lachen, kuscheln – und einfach sie selbst sein.
Wir glauben, dass Berührung ein menschliches Grundbedürfnis ist – kein Luxus. Deshalb gestalten wir Räume, in denen du dich entspannen, auftanken und dich frei entscheiden kannst, wie nah du wem sein möchtest. Kuscheln ist immer freiwillig, respektvoll und im Einklang mit den vereinbarten Regeln.
Unser Wunsch ist es, dir einen sicheren und achtsamen Raum zu eröffnen und zu halten, in dem du in respektvoller Atmosphäre Nähe, Berührung und Entspannung erleben kannst – ganz ohne Leistungsdruck oder sexuelle Absicht. Lachen, Weinen und Stille sind hier gleichermaßen willkommen.

Winterpause vorbei – femmlektura liest endlich wieder
📅 **Wann?** Dienstag, 7. April 2026, 19:00 Uhr
📍 **Wo?** Online – der Link wird vor dem Treffen per Mail verschickt
💬 **Thema:** Dieses Mal lesen wir **„Wir Töchter“ von Oliwia Hälterlein**. Der Roman erzählt von drei Generationen Frauen zwischen Polen und Deutschland; von dem, was weitergegeben wird, und von dem, was neu verhandelt werden muss. Zwischen Familie, Migration und Erinnerung fragen die Figuren: Welche Geschichten tragen wir weiter? Und welche schreiben wir neu? Ein vielstimmiger Text über Herkunft, feministische Perspektiven und das komplexe Erbe von Müttern und Töchtern.
🔖 **Ablauf:**
Begrüßung und Vorstellungsrunde
Austausch über das Buch: auch ohne vollständige Lektüre bist du willkommen
Gemeinsame Diskussion über Generationen, Migration und feministische Erinnerung
Sammlung von Ideen für unsere nächsten Leselisten
🎒 **Was solltest du mitbringen?**
Dich selbst – mit oder ohne Buchkenntnisse
Offenheit für Austausch, feministische und intersektionale Perspektiven
Falls du magst: Vorschläge für weitere Bücher
🌈 **Warum dieses Buch?**
Weil *Wir Töchter* zeigt, wie Familiengeschichten über Generationen hinweg wirken – und wie besonders die Stimmen von Frauen lange unsichtbar bleiben. Der Roman fragt, was Herkunft bedeutet, wenn man zwischen Ländern, Sprachen und Erwartungen lebt. Geschichten wie diese gehören ins Zentrum feministischer Diskussionen.

Book Bedazzling (BYOB) - Bloodguard by Cecy Robson
Let's bedazzle some books while we discuss our April pick: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson!
Book description:
One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise…
Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie.
Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose.
He was wrong—and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity.
All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day.
Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard—and his freedom.
But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap.
Nor will his ultimate revenge…
Event:
Please bring your own book, journal, bookmarks, etc to bedazzle. If you have bedazzling supplies, please bring them as well. I will supply gems, glue, and picker tools, but if you have certain colors in mind, you may want to bring your own.

Bad Girls Book Club April 2026
**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch**
**This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.**
In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse.
Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life.
It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge.
Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .

Book summary:
In 2006 Julia Lerner is living in Moscow, a recent university graduate in computer science, when she's recruited by Russia's largest intelligence agency. By 2018 she's in Silicon Valley as COO of Tangerine, one of America's most famous technology companies. In between her executive management (make offers to promising startups, crush them and copy their features if they refuse); self promotion (check out her latest op-ed in the WSJ, on Work/Life Balance 2.0); and work in gender equality (transfer the most annoying females from her team), she funnels intelligence back to the motherland. But now Russia's asking for more, and Julia's getting nervous. Alice Lu is a first generation Chinese American whose parents are delighted she's working at Tangerine (such a successful company!). Too bad she's slogging away in the lower echelons, recently dumped, and now sharing her expensive two-bedroom apartment with her cousin Cheri, a perennial "founder's girlfriend". One afternoon, while performing a server check, Alice discovers some unusual activity, and now she's burdened with two powerful but distressing suspicions: Tangerine's privacy settings aren't as rigorous as the company claims they are, and the person abusing this loophole might be Julia Lerner herself. The closer Alice gets to Julia, the more Julia questions her own loyalties. Russia may have placed her in the Valley, but she's the one who built her career; isn't she entitled to protect the lifestyle she's earned?
