Berlin has a lot of joy in it (scroll down)

Every Wednesday evening, we put together a short list of events happening across Berlin --gatherings that align with the spirit of This Is Joy Bro.

That means: places to celebrate, spaces to sit with hard conversations, events that move you (literally or otherwise), and moments of culture, community, and aliveness.
