Berlin NVC

The Empathy Café Berlin
2025-02-08 16:30 - 18:30 (Europe/Berlin) | BAVUL – Kunst & Kultur Café, Annenstraße 13, Berlin, 10179, Germany
Empathy Café Berlin – A place to give and receive real understanding
​In today’s world, we rarely have spaces where we are truly heard and acknowledged. Instead of listening to understand, we often debate, argue, or get stuck in opinions and polarization. But what if we could create a different kind of conversation?
​At the Empathy Café, we offer a warm and welcoming space to slow down and practice empathetic listening and Nonviolent Communication (NVC)—a space where we listen not to reply, but to try to really understand.
​Each week, we explore and practice:
✨ Listening actively and empathically to make others feel heard
✨ Reflecting emotions and needs to create deeper understanding
✨ Expressing ourselves in a way that fosters connection instead of conflict
​This is both a space for learning and growth but also just for having someone that listens to you if you need it or if you have something on your heart you want to be heard for, anything!
​Through guided exercises, small group discussions, and practical tools, we’ll learn to communicate in a way that bridges differences, builds trust, and nurtures real human connection. In a world filled with noise and division, this is an antidote—a space for healing, growth, and mutual understanding.
​No prior experience needed—just an open heart and curiosity for connection.
​📍 Location: BAVUL – Kunst & Kultur Café, Annenstraße 13, 10179 Berlin
🕒 Time: From 16:30 (hang out available until 00:00)
💬 Languages: Sessions in English. Other languages available: German, Turkish, Spanish.

•What?
Heart Meetings are simple frameworks and methods created by HejHumans for using presence to speak to each other’s hearts and create a place of trust, care and curiosity in a playful way!
​​The purpose of Heart Meetings is to create a safe place to interact with other people about the things that are vital to us as human beings. Here we actively share and listen to each other in order to support and grow together. We explore different methods and frameworks to meet each other as people and have meaningful conversations. Here we filter out all the titles and boxes that can be put on in society to be able to unite with the understanding that we all need the same things – such as being seen, heard, accepted, appreciated, loved and feeling meaning and purpose. The methods and exercises we use are a combination of already existing material and exercises that we at HejHumans have developed. Among other things, we use the Authentic Relating conversation method, which is for sharing and listening about important life topics. Welcome!

Empathy Village picnic
2024-07-07 14:30 - 17:00 | Kreuzberg
Hey friends! I don’t know if you’ve noticed but it’s summer! 😁
I’m taking the initiative to call for an EMPATHY VILLAGE COMMUNITY PICNIC!
WHEN: This Sunday the 7th at 2:30pm.
WHERE: Tempelhofer Feld. Find the people wearing giraffe ears on or near the SOUTHWESTERN GRILLPLATZ (official barbecue area, it comes up when you search “grillplatz südwest” on Google maps).
HOW: potluck style, please bring food to share. Note that I’m vegan and gluten free and a lot of other giraffes will be similarly herbivore. Of course, not everyone has to bring vegan food, but the more we have, the more fun it is to share.
I’ll also bring an Einweggrill (unless someone wants to bring a proper barbecue, even better) and we can cook some veggie sausages etc.
THE PLAN: let’s have some fun and connect as a community. An RSVP would be appreciated
