Emergent Berlin Fest 2025 – Open Call for Participation

Sat. 25.01 @16:00 WORKSHOP Emergent Berlin 2025 (during our monthly community networking event) – Do you have talents, skills, ideas and passions to make the world a better place? Join us in organizing our next superhero training camp at Emergent Berlin 2025 happening June 13-15; this year’s theme – Reclamation!  We are also looking for artists to help design this year’s poster.  Can’t make it this time, send us a message and we will let you know about the next meeting times… info@baumhausberlin.de

Emergent Berlin is a festival organized by Baumhaus since 2013, bringing together fellow local initiatives, organizations and neighbors who want to take action for sustainability from personal, ecological, aesthetic, cultural, economic and social (peaces) perspectives. This year’s theme: “ Reclamation”

Every year our format is a bit different, this year you get to help decide what content we will offer.  One our big goals of the festival is to help create a movement across general society to raise consciousness and see the value, sense and satisfaction of living in balance with ourselves, each other and the natural world.

How do you already contribute to bringing more balance in the world and how can you share it?  What are some new ways that you would like to be empowered to bring more balance into the world?  This will be the basis of this year’s event – A Superhero Training Camp, how can we help each other gain and apply these new skills and perspectives.  Check out some past events HERE & HERE & even HERE!

Transitions from 2024 to 2025

It has only a few weeks into the new year and there’s already been a lot of news from all around the world to process, much of it leaving some sense of despair and a bit giving some hope.

Here in Berlin the signs of a changing world show up as budget cuts and the shock of seeing flowers still growing on the balcony in late January.  The point is that we here in Berlin still have it better than people in most large cities around the world…

Most importantly, we still have the very realistic possibility (and responsibility) to shape our city and its culture.  We still each have the possibility to meaningfully contribute our ideas, skills, talents, passions, energy, love, resources and networks towards the transformation to a culture, relationships and economy based on dynamically balanced regenerative systems.

It’s time to reclaim the narrative, live it by example and share the joy of it widely.  Maybe we can become that example of getting it right that the world needs.  It’s in this spirit that you are invited to join in organizing and participating in Emergent Berlin festival 2025, “Reclamation” (June 13-15) or any one of our collaborative projects.  The first meeting will be during our upcoming commmunity networking event on Saturday January 25.

Here are some images from some our latest activities and events including community night, participation in grüne Woche, music jam sessions at Panke club and a few other gatherings…

✨ Some busy weeks at Baumhaus! ✨

Here’s a look back at some recent events and community connections that have filled our weeks in October and November:

✨Our last Community Networking Night with an open house for our LebensMittelPunkte project brought together familiar and new faces in a lively atmosphere. We had a great time fermenting and drying fruits and vegetables, and showcased our work as a partner of the @switch.diet project. The night sparked fantastic conversations about future health and nutrition – thank you to everyone who joined!

🍏We’re also committed to impactful discussions on broader health and community topics. At the Gesundheitskonferenz of OE QPK @ba_mitte_berlin we hosted a workshop and continued the conversation with @miriamlowack, which highlighted the importance of transcultural encounters that foster community resilience. 🌞🙏

Some activities took us outside our space. We loved catering with CSA veggies at @agrikulturfestival_berlin and supported other LebensMittelPunkte initiatives like @kulturlabor_trial_error and @haus_der_nachbarschafft . Collaborative connections like these make our work even more meaningful. 🤝

🌱We also offered our venue to like-minded organizations looking to create positive change, like @migrationsrat.berlin and @bqn_diversitaetskompetenz . If you’re working on sustainable projects, want to give an eco-friendly workshop, or searching for a shift in your community-centered ideas, Baumhaus has the right atmosphere, expertise, and energy for hosting your event!

✨🌍 Contact us for special offers and event services.

🙌 Thank you to everyone who makes these moments possible! Stay tuned for more to come. 🌱

Before Our Summer 2024 Break…

Besides some regular project work we continued to develop our vertical garden wall with some more plants and the basic automated watering system, continued building the roof frames for the tower stairs, get really good at making pizza, developed and built a display case, hosted a few public events and had plenty of fun!

Even though we are off for the Summer, we are still around…  Write us at info(at)baumhausberlin.de if you would like to stop by with any plant donations or volunteering for the vertical garden.  Have a great Summer and we look forward to another active Autumn.
