Silent Reading Club

Sun, Aug 23, 9:00 AM

From Offenes Wohnzimmer: Moabit Nachbarschaft

4.8

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

Evil Without Monsters: How Ordinary Harm Becomes Possible

Sun, Aug 23, 9:00 AM

From Elysian Discoveries: Mind, Art, and Curiosity

4.9

Evil is often imagined as something exceptional: a dictator, a sadist, a criminal, a person visibly separated from ordinary life. This image is comforting because it suggests that evil belongs somewhere else—to other people, other times, or extreme situations. But much of the harm humans cause does not begin with obvious cruelty. It can emerge through obedience, fear, ambition, prejudice, indifference, conformity, or the wish to protect one’s own place in a group. People may participate in harmful systems without seeing themselves as evil. They may believe they are following rules, defending their country, doing their job, protecting their family, or simply having no choice. This makes the question of evil more difficult than asking whether some people are “good” and others are “bad.” Across history, societies have defined certain groups, behaviours, and ideas as dangerous, impure, criminal, abnormal, or inferior. Political authorities, institutions, laws, media, and social norms all influence what is considered acceptable and what is condemned. Yet the fact that a society calls something evil does not automatically make that judgment morally right. History shows that legal systems and majorities can also normalize injustice. At the same time, it would be too simple to say that evil is only a social label. Genocide, torture, humiliation, exploitation, and deliberate cruelty raise a serious moral question: are there actions that remain wrong even when they are legal, widely accepted, or justified by authority? Hannah Arendt’s idea of the *banality of evil* gives one possible perspective. Her point was not that terrible crimes are ordinary or unimportant. Rather, she asked how extreme harm can be carried out by people who are not necessarily monstrous, but who stop thinking critically about what they are doing and about the human consequences of their actions. This session will not focus on religious explanations of evil. Instead, we will explore evil as a moral, historical, psychological, and political problem: how it begins, how it becomes normal, who has the power to name it, and what responsibility an individual has within a harmful system. We will discuss: * What do we mean when we call a person, action, or system evil? * Is evil an objective reality, or is it defined by culture, history, and power? * Are there actions that are wrong even when a society considers them normal or legal? * Can people do terrible things while sincerely believing that they are doing good? * What is the relationship between authority, obedience, and moral responsibility? * Why do people ignore injustice when it does not affect them personally? * Is indifference a form of participation in evil? * Are human beings naturally good, naturally selfish, or shaped mainly by their circumstances? * What makes ordinary people capable of extraordinary harm? * Can love, empathy, education, or democratic institutions prevent evil—or are they sometimes not enough? This will be an open and reflective conversation connecting history, philosophy, psychology, politics, and personal responsibility. Together, we will ask not only what evil is, but also how people and societies can recognize it before it becomes normal. 📅 Event Details 🗓️ Date: Sunday, 23 August 2026 ⏰ Time: 11:00 📍 Location: Cafe Hardenberg, Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin-Bezirk Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf 📱 WhatsApp: For preparation materials, updates, and directions, join the group chat.

Du musst kein*e geübte*r Sänger\*in sein – beim heilsamen Singen geht es nicht um Leistung, sondern um Verbindung, Freude und Entspannung. Teils sanfte, teils kraftvolle Klänge und Melodien laden dich ein, den Alltagsstress hinter dir zu lassen, bei dir selbst anzukommen und neue Lebensfreude zu spüren. Beim gemeinsamen Singen entsteht innere Ruhe, dein Immunsystem wird gestärkt – und auf liebevolle Weise entsteht Verbindung untereinander. Komm, wie du bist – mit deiner Stimme, deinem Atem, deinem Herzen. Lass dich tragen vom Klang und entdecke die heilende Kraft des Singens. Wir freuen uns auf dich!

Hei, ich bin Gesa, Sängerin, Gesangspädagogin und zertifizierte Singleiterin für Heilsames Singen. Nach über 20 Jahren als Opern- und Konzertsängerin liegt mein Fokus heute auf dem „Heilsamen Singen“. Mir liegt am Herzen, das Singen wieder in unseren Alltag zu holen. Weil es uns mit unserem innersten Menschsein verbindet, weil es Herz und Seele berührt – und weil es ein kleiner, aber kraftvoller Beitrag zu mehr Freude, Wärme und Menschlichkeit in unserer Welt ist.

Urban Silence - An Exploration of Silence, Presence & Connection

Fri, Aug 21, 4:15 PM

From Soul Care Circle Berlin

4.8

🌿 **A guided group experience of urban silence, mindfulness and connection.** **What happens when we step into a space where silence is not just something we experience alone, but something we share?** This event is an invitation to pause, slow down, and experience stillness in an unexpected urban environment: **The Quiet Space at Kraftwerk Berlin.** ### 🎟️ Participation **This event is donation-based.** There is no fixed ticket price. You are invited to contribute what feels appropriate and possible for you **for the organisation, and guidance.** 🧘 **We begin outside** with a guided mindfulness meditation, gently arriving in the present moment and preparing ourselves to enter the space with awareness. Inside the vast, raw atmosphere of the former power station, we will experience **silence together**. No talking, no phones, no distractions. Instead, we turn our attention inward and become more aware of our surroundings, our senses, and the people sharing this experience with us. 🤝 Through a series of **simple partner exercises**, we will explore connection and communication without words. How much can we perceive without speaking? What happens when we allow silence to become a shared experience? After leaving The Quiet Space, we will gather outside for a facilitated reflection and exchange. There will be space to share what we noticed, what surprised us, and how experiencing silence in such an urban environment affected our perception. **Urban Silence is not about escaping the city.** **It is about discovering stillness within it in a very unique setting.** ### ✨ The experience includes * Guided mindfulness meditation * Silent experience inside The Quiet Space * Mindfulness-based partner exercises * Facilitated reflection and group exchange afterwards No previous meditation or mindfulness experience is required. Come as you are — and allow yourself to experience what becomes possible when words fall away. *** ### 📍 Location **Kraftwerk Berlin – The Quiet Space** Köpenicker Straße 70 10179 Berlin **We gather in front of the entrance.** ### 🕰️ Time **6:15 pm** Please arrive **10–15 minutes before the start** so we can begin the meditation together on time. ### 🌿 Flow **Arrival & Guided Meditation** We meet outside the Quiet Space and begin with a guided mindfulness meditation. **Entering The Quiet Space** We enter the former power station together and experience the space in complete silence. **Silent Partner Exercises** Simple mindfulness exercises invite us to explore non-verbal connection, perception and presence. **Reflection & Sharing** Afterwards, we step back outside and have space for a facilitated group exchange about our experience. ### 👤 About the facilitator The experience is guided by **Isabel, Holistic Life & Mindfulness Coach**, who creates spaces for mindful exploration, self-awareness and meaningful connection.
