weekly Turning Privilege Into Change
A weekly conversation. How do we rebuild hope? How do we reimagine solidarity? How do we live into the world we so deeply want? During these times many of us are wondering how to use our own position and privilege to contribute better to those around us and to our wider communities. These weekly conversations are for those interested in learning a different way to address privilege and create systemic change. Bring your questions, concerns, fears, and experiences as we explore different topics each week. Each week will vary between exercises, games, and discussions to help develop tools and skills to create systemic change. Pay what you can, suggested €10-20/week. All funds redistributed to a Black queer person.

Antisocial Dance Class
They called Roma people antisocial. They called queer people antisocial. Under Nazism, asozial marked those who didn't fit. What if antisocial is not a flaw, but an emancipation?
I've been using the word a lot lately. Not as an insult, but as a break from stimulation.
This class is not against being social. It's against normative socialisation — the pressure to adapt, optimise, network, perform connection.
We enter the social space of dance and mess with it. Through somatic scores, improvisation and relational play — we follow impulses instead of politeness. We track shame, desire, irritation, attraction. We rehearse boundaries. We test friction.
We listen to our nervous system. We rest. We digest. We learn to say no and test the yeses through touch, voice, movement, stillness.
No dance background needed.

University of Tiny Moments: in/to/it/i/on & invention
A workshop combining research and practice on intuition with the invention of neologisms for a Dictionary of New Wor(l)ds.
“in/to/it/i/on” explores how intuition is sensed, interpreted, and shared across different ways of knowing, bringing together perspectives from philosophy, cognitive science, art, spiritual traditions, and somatic practice. Through meditative and conceptual exploration, it approaches intuition as something felt before it is articulated—an embodied encounter rather than a fixed definition.
The “Reverse Contradictionary,” a Dictionary of New Wor(l)ds, introduces confrontational neologisms that challenge algorithmic language. In quick, collaborative brainstorming rounds, participants will create their own new words.
By Mariam Rafehi & Davide Prati (IOCOSE collective)
Facilitated by Gabriel Hensche

How To Be Soft
Are you gooey? 'Cos I’m pretty gooey. What does that mean? There is a saying: ‘Pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.’ But in a world where sadness, anger, and grief are sidelined - because let’s face it, nobody profits from a good, cathartic cry - there is little room for our softer sides.
Hosted by performer and facilitator Netto Baby, How to Be Soft is a space for collective vulnerability. Part grief-circle, part exploration, we will begin with a short meditation, move into an open sharing circle, and close with a conversation about what softness means to us: how we resource it, and how we can make more room for it in our communities.
The sharing format is simple: 5 minutes each to speak about whatever is on our hearts, with space to share or just listen. This isn't about spiritual bypassing or ‘optimising’. It’s an opportunity to reclaim our softness so we can show up with more compassion, presence, and discernment. Come and be SOFT!
