After worship, stay for fellowship and conversation. Whether you are new to faith, returning after a long time, exploring Christianity, or deeply rooted in the tradition — you are truly welcome here. And when we say *all*, we mean **all**. Come as you are. You belong. We celebrate open communion, meaing all are wecome to recieve Holy Communion.

Embodied Consent
Sun, Jul 26, 9:00 AM**Embodied Consent (auf Deutsch)** mit **Kuem** für **LGBTIQA+** Kostenlos mit[ ](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w20-2026/)**[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w30-2026)** **Lernen über Grenzen und Kommunikation** Wenn Sie noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen haben, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Dieser Workshop ist sehr zu empfehlen für alle, die unser Projekt regelmäßig besuchen oder an einem unserer Workshops teilnehmen möchten. Diese Erfahrung wird Ihnen nicht nur helfen, sich in der we.are.village-Community zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird Sie auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in Ihr Leben zu übertragen. Sich seiner Grenzen bewusst zu sein und sein Einverständnis oder Nicht-Einverständnis auszudrücken, sind wichtige Fähigkeiten im Leben, aber wir haben nicht oft die Gelegenheit, die Fähigkeit des Einverständnisses auf die gleiche Weise zu üben wie andere Fähigkeiten, wie Singen, Sport treiben oder eine Sprache lernen. Bei Consent geht es um viel mehr als ein einfaches Ja oder Nein. Wenn wir die Zustimmung dekonstruieren, entdecken wir, wie wir unsere wahren Wünsche kommunizieren können, und hören auf, Dinge zu wählen, die wir nicht wollen. Durch Diskussionen, Bewegung und Partnerspiele werden wir Werkzeuge entwickeln, um körperliche Wünsche auszudrücken und zu verhandeln und durch praktische Übungen Grenzen zu setzen. Dieser Workshop ist für Menschen aller Körpergrößen, Geschlechter und Hintergründe offen und einladend. Es handelt sich um einen nicht-sexuellen Workshop bei dem, ohne Druck, Kommunikation und Berührung geübt werden können. Es geht genauso darum, wirklich Ja zu sagen und es auch so zu meinen, wie es darum geht, Nein zu sagen! Wenn Sie noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen haben, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Diese Erfahrung wird Ihnen nicht nur helfen, sich in der we are village Community zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird Sie auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in Ihr Leben zu übertragen. Gemeinsam wollen wir eine auf Consent ausgerichtete Gemeinschaft mit gemeinsamen Werten aufbauen und dabei die Verantwortung des Einzelnen für die Einhaltung dieser Grundsätze betonen. Unser oberstes Ziel ist es, gesunde Beziehungen zu fördern und eine integrative Community für eine bessere, vernetzte Zukunft zu schaffen. 🔵 **Embodied Consent (in German)** with **Kuem** for **LGBTIQA+** Free **[Registration Required](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/embodied-consent/w29-2026/)** **Learning about boundaries and communication**. If you have not yet attended a workshop on Consent in the Village, now is the time! This workshop is highly recommended for anyone wishing to visit our project on a regular basis, or to attend one of our workshops. This experience will not only help you navigate within the we.are.village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Being aware of your boundaries and expressing your consent or non-consent are essential skills in life, but we don’t often get a chance to actually practice consent skills in the same way we practice other skills, like singing, playing sports or learning a language. Consent is about much more than a simple yes or no. When we deconstruct consent, we discover how to communicate our true desires and stop choosing the things we actually don’t want. Through discussion, movement and partner games, we will build tools to express and negotiate physical desires and set boundaries through the use of practical exercises. This workshop is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all body sizes, genders, and background. This is a non-sexual workshop, and great, low pressure situation in which to practice communication and touching. It’s as much about how to truly say yes and mean it as it is about saying no! If you have not yet attended a workshop on Consent in the Village, now is the time! This experience will not only help you navigate within the we are village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Together, we aim to nurture a consent-centered community with shared values, emphasizing individual responsibility in upholding these principles. Our ultimate goal is to foster healthy relationships and create an inclusive community for a better, more connected future.

Siemesstadt! - Cycle Tour and Explore
Sat, Jul 25, 10:00 AM# **Siemesstadt! - Cycle Tour and Explore** **Theme:** Cycle Loop + History + Beer Garden on the Havel. **Time:** 12:00 **Start:** Hamburger Bahnhof **Distance:** 25 to 40 km (depending if you cycle back) **Suggested contribution:** €5 This week we will be exploring Siemensstadt. A whole district of Berlin built out by one of Germany and Berlin’s most famous firms. Factories, beautiful housing estates, military industry, canals and power generation are all on display. We will end at a beer garden by the Havel in one of the old factories. **The Tour** We will follow, more or less, the **"Produktion und Munition" Industrial Heritage Cycle Route**. Starting at Hamburger Bahnhof we will travel up through Wedding and Jungfernheidepark, rolling into Siemesstadt **UNESCO-listed** Siemens Housing Estate and from there looping around the vast industrial complexes of Siemens that once employed more than 55,000 people. We'll also have a look at some of the power stations in the area, and investigate the story of West Berlin's isolated electricity network during the Cold War. We'll finish with a well-earned beer together on a little island in the Havel river near Spandau. From there you can get the train home or cycle back to town to complete the 40km loop. I am an accredited tour guide in Berlin, specialising in telling stories about the city's industrial heritage. I ask for a contribution of **€5** to organise the tour and share my knowledge. **Disclaimer:** Please note that all participants attend as group members, not as customers and are liable for themselves. Please read the group description in full for an explanation of terms and liabilities. **The Cycling** This is a gentle-paced sightseeing ride rather than a sporting event. 🚲 We'll cover around 25 kilometres, 40 if you cycle back to town. There will be frequent stops for stories, photographs and discussion. Anyone with a decent bicycle and experience cycling around Berlin should be comfortable on this route. **What to Bring** 🚲 Spare inner tube suitable for your bike 💶 Cash for drinks or snacks 🌧 Waterproofs (just in case!) ☀️ Suncream 🥪 Water and snacks 😊 Curiosity and a sense of adventure **Highlights** ⚡ Discover how Siemens built one of the world's first purpose-designed industrial company towns 🏭 Explore the monumental Wernerwerk factories that made Siemens a global engineering giant 🕰️ Admire the famous Wernerwerk Clock Tower, the symbol of Siemensstadt 🏘️ Cycle through the UNESCO World Heritage Siemens Housing Estate and learn how industry transformed workers' lives 🔋 Discover how electricity generation, transport and manufacturing came together to create Berlin's "Electropolis" ⚔️ Explore Spandau's centuries-old military history and its role as the centre of Prussian arms production 🔥 See the enormous Reuter Power Station and hear how West Berlin became an electrical island during the Cold War 🚆 See the historic Siemensbahn, built to transport tens of thousands of workers every day 📸 Fantastic photography opportunities among some of Berlin's finest industrial architecture 🍺 Finish with a relaxed drink together on a beautiful island in the Havel River. I estimate the tour to Spandau will take about 3 hours. After this it would be an extra hour back to town for people who cycle back. Should be a fun explorative Saturday afternoon. Hope to see you there! **Simon**
