Baumhaus Weekends:
Open House, Workshops, Community Night
This event series is about bringing people together from many walks of life who share a common desire to do what they can to make the world a better place. Enjoy meeting people in an authentic and informal atmosphere, developing organic relationships, sharing perspectives and collaboratively supporting each other.
It’s a new format, evolved from and replacing our good old Baumhaus Community Networking Night which happened every Thursday night for the last seven years… It’s time for a change! Now it’s a full weekend once a month where, for two days, the entire Baumhaus becomes an Open Greeting Zone where it is totally normal to introduce yourself to anyone else and expect the same in return. Saturday with workshops and community kitchen, Sunday with potluck brunch, projects from our neighborhood and in the evening another FLOW guided meditation session.
You are invited to get involved however you like, from joining the kitchen crew to preparing the vegan buffet, joining a workshop, cleaning up, helping out with some up-cycling projects or just hanging out. Contribution for food/drinks (tea, water, coffee)/space: 5€ reduced – 10€ normal – 15€ soli price.
Baumhaus Weekend #2 October 29th – 30th 2022
Program Saturday, October 29th
13:30 doors open
14:00 Guest Workshop I “Yoga”: The workshop is based on Hatha yoga, sprinkled with body awareness techniques and coordination games. No prior experience needed, everyone is welcome. Come with an open mind, ready for a physical, experimental practice, ready for an hour of just being and letting go. It may be intense, but at all times adaptable to any fitness level. Please bring a yoga mat or something similar, and comfortable clothes.
16:00 Guest Workshop II “Spekulatives Design – macherischer Optimismus” (DE): Mit welchen Themen seht ihr euch in eurem Alltag konfrontiert? Was beschäftigt dich schon seit einiger Zeit und lässt dich einfach nicht los? Wir wollen einen macherischen Optimusmus ausprobieren: anhand unserer Themen einen gemeinsamen Nenner erarbeiten, ein Zukunftsszenario überlegen, wie wir am besten damit umgehen bzw. die Situation selber verbessern können – und dann unsere Ideen und Wünsche malerisch festhalten, eine Vision zum mit nach Hause nehmen! Mit Nadine Bernhardt (artist)
18:00 Guest Workshop III “Climate Café” (EN): Facing facts about climate change and human failures in dealing with it is burdensome. It might cause a range of difficult emotions such as anxiety, anger or despair. It might make us feel helpless, and when involved in the climate activism or working in the associated fields, these emotions can cause a burnout and a loss of motivation to continue. But in the time of unc-ertainty, one thing is sure – we don´t need to be alone in it. So let´s gather to explore our feelings and thoughts on this difficult topic, to hear and support each other over a cup of tea or coffee. Hosted by: Aleksandra Mikić (psychologist)
18:00 Community Night Cooking – if you want to join the kitchen crew, bring a clean shirt plus something to tie back your hair
