Tomorrow (Thursday 07.01) from 6:00 – 9.30pm we are having a meeting in the Baumhaus space that will deal with the aesthetic and technical design of the lighting for Das Baumhaus. Come along and get involved! (Gerichtstr. 23, front house, ground floor)
Help to spread the Holiday cheer on Saturday the 19th at our Baumhaus Holiday Party! Come by to Gerichtstrasse 23 for yoga, cookies, jazz, poetry, cocktails, dancing and a whole lot more. This will be our last event of 2015, come meet some of the interesting people in our network.
The following photos are from our new event series ‘Sunday Afternoon’ at the art loft berlin. The space looked magical, complete with Christmas baubles, pinecones and flickering candelabra and jazzy sounds from Berlin jazz trio “appletrio” kept the good energy flowing all afternoon long. We sipped gin and tonics and feasted on treats of homemade bread canapés and beetroot quiche, provided by Gin Events. Laughter and inspiring conversation could be heard all around. A cosy chill-out with old and new friends – exactly how a Sunday afternoon should be spent!
Catch “Sunday Afternoon” #2, the second instalment of a very special collaborative neighbourhood event series, in the new year.

Sunday Afternoon, a very special collaborative neighbourhood event series inspired by the Emergent Berlin Festival. (Facebook)
Where: art loft berlin – Gerichtstr. 23, 3.HH EG
When: 16-22:00
We are happy to invite change-makers and neighbours from all over to a new event series called “Sunday Afternoon”. The idea is quite simple: Once per month, the good people at art loft berlin would like to bring together other good people who would like to meet each other and find out how we can all collaborate with and support each other in our efforts to make our neighbourhoods and Berlin more connected, balanced and satisfying places to live work and play.
Each session will feature live music to help inspire and catalyze more emergent behaviour between guests. This time around “appletreeo” a local Berlin jazz trio will keep the good energy flowing. Future events will also feature different artists, designers and other creative inspirations to spark more quality interactions.
There will also be an “Open Greeting Zone” area at every event where its possible to introduce yourself to anyone and expect the same in return!
Entrance is free, the bar will be run by Gin Events and part of the proceeds from the bar will go towards supporting the Baumhaus project. This event will also be a platform for other local projects and people who want to gain more exposure, support and broaden their networks. Email baumhausberlin@gmail.com for more info.
Check out the action from last week & Join us this week having fun while getting good things done!

Last week we had a great time with our adventures gathering materials form the Stattbad Wedding to give them some new life at Das Baumhaus. Thanks so much to Jochen Küpper for being our guide and historian!
Before we went gathering we enjoyed a North German green curry with fresh bio veggies from our local farmer just outside of Berlin. If you live in Wedding then stay tuned, we will be accepting new people inot our group soon…
After gathering wood, we had a really nice vocal improv groove session. It went so well that we are now going to start back up on a regular basis and even form an expert group for people who would llike to jam out and perform!
The last images are form the Share Fair 2015. It was like a big family reunion of hundreds of relatives in the sharing and sustainability community in Berlin. Bravo to all the organizers, sponsors and participants!

Here are a few photos from the Heinrich Böll Stiftung workshop and screening of ‘In Transition 1.0’ that took place in Das Baumhaus space last week, discussing the impact of creative cooperation and sharing initiatives in our neighbourhoods.
All hands on deck for our next Baumhaus material gathering adventure at the ex-Stattbad Berlin! If you have never been inside the famous ex-club / or would like to have one more last intimate tour through the cavernous space, then join us in our hunt for re-usable materials to build with. There will also be some treasures that we can not use in the Baumhaus so maybe you go home with some nice things to use too… Make sure to arrive before 12 if you want to join!Dezember 2 – Vertikaler Garten und Permakultur :: Zweites Planungstreffen
Wir machen weiter mit der Planung des Vertikalen Gartens am 02.12 um 19:00 Uhr: Wir wollen an Konzepten für ästhetisches Design, Pflanzenarten und Bewässerungssysteme weiterarbeiten, die wir beim ersten Treffen entwickelt haben. Wir sind gespannt und freuen uns auf Euch!
