Second Wednesday of every month, 7:30–9:00 p.m., blue door

Hello, everyone!

Whether you're bi, pan, omni, or don't identify with any label, you're all welcome at the Bi+ meetup!

Since we are often not very visible in the queer community, we have started a regular Bi+ meeting in Kassel.

Feel free to bring along any wishes and ideas you have for future meetings and suggestions for how we could develop further. If you feel like playing group games, you're welcome to bring those along too.

Just drop by – even on the spur of the moment.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Second Thursday of the month, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., in the entire Queer Center

On this evening, the Queer Center Kassel belongs to queers aged 50 and over!
All rooms in the center are available for chatting, chilling, playing, enjoying drinks, being creative, meeting people, making plans, reading books and magazines, and much more... Drinks and snacks are available for a donation or you can bring your own.

By being queer, we mean that we do not conform to cis-hetero norms and lifestyles. Are you also over 50 (or will you be soon?), do you identify as queer, and do you live beyond cis-heteronormativity? Then you might want to stop by on Thursday! See you soon!

If you would like to participate, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the Queer Center's self-image and etiquette and ensure that you can stand behind them.

Fridays, 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., in the entire Queer Center

The open living room is run by volunteers and is open to everyone. Come by and get to know the Queer Center. Meet up with friends here to do crafts, play games, relax, or meet new people.

We have Wi-Fi, a queer library, lots of games, a karaoke machine, a craft room, and much more. You can make tea and coffee in our kitchenette or grab a cold drink from the fridge. We welcome donations for drinks. And we look forward to seeing you!

Grab your queer friends and come fill the Queer Center with life.

Second Friday of the month, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., chill room (yellow door)

Welcome to our community!

All neurodivergent individuals who identify as queer, live beyond cisheteronormativity, and are interested in connecting, sharing, and networking, are invited.

This is what neurodivergence means to us:

• Feelings, perceptions, and needs fall outside the framework that society considers “normal.”

• People often receive medical diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, ADD, learning difficulties, epilepsy, mental illness, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, apraxia, cerebral palsy, dyspraxia, etc. (see nibi.space/neurodivergence)

• People do not need a diagnosis to be welcome here.

• People do not have to be “sure” that they are neurodivergent; a suspicion or question in this direction is enough. Talking to other neurodivergent people can sometimes be helpful in gaining more certainty about whether or not this term describes their experience.

There are several rooms on site, including a quiet room. We will provide stimming toys. Please write us to let us know what you need to participate!

Often our meetings happen like this:

-short introduction and check in round (How are you here today?)

-Exchange about different topics concerning neurodivergence and queerness. This can happen in one big group or multiple smaller groups. Feel free to bring your own topic!

-check out round (how was the meeting for you?)

-communal tidying and cleaning

second Friday of every month from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Cafe del Sol, Göttinger Str. 33, 34123 Kassel

A cozy meeting place for bears, cubs, chasers, and friends. Come along to relax, chat, get to know each other, and network.

This is the first step toward establishing a regular bear get-together in Kassel.

We are delighted to offer you this free self-defense course from T*räumchen.

The course takes place every Monday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Queer Center. The aim is to learn self-defense techniques in a safe space and to strengthen your self-confidence.

The course is aimed at trans*, inter*, questioning, and non-binary individuals aged 14 and above. No previous experience is necessary! You are warmly invited to take the plunge and give it a try!

If you have any questions or would like to register, please send us an email at selbstverteidigung@traeumchen-kassel.de.

You can find more information about T*räumchen here.

Mondays 7:15–8:15 p.m., mostly online

Together we discuss and decide what is happening at the Queer Center. For that, we meet once a week for an hour-long plenary session. Here, people report on past and planned events, and we talk about challenges and goals for the Queer Center. New groups and volunteers also introduce themselves at the plenary meeting so that we can get to know each other. Every two months, we hold a introductory plenary meeting so that new people can get started. We also hold regular social plenary meetings where we talk about how we are feeling within the Queer Center and with each other.
Would you like to join the plenary sessions? Then send an email to: info@QueeresZentrumKassel.de

This is how our plenary meetings work:
We meet online. We will send you the link in advance by email.
The meetings last one hour and it is okay to leave early. We appreciate new people joining the plenary session.
We start with a short round of introductions where people also share how they are currently feeling.
Then we share what has been happening at the Queer Center since the last plenary session and discuss upcoming events and new ideas. At the first plenary session of the month, new people can introduce their ideas to the plenary session. We discuss these at the beginning of the plenary session.
We vote on whether to bring ideas to life at the Queer Center. Only Queer Center members who are present at the meeting can vote.

Taster Plenary Session
On the last Monday in January, March, May, July, September, and November, we hold a taster plenary session at the Queer Center. You may also join online.

Social Plenary Session
On the last Monday in February, April, June, August, October and December, we hold a plenary session for emotional check ins at the Queer Center. You may also join online.

second Monday of the month, 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., *innen space

Target group:
This offer is aimed at gay and bisexual men of ages 20 and above from Kassel city and the surrounding area who want to get together in a relaxed and safe environment away from the party and restaurant scene.

Group content:
This group serves as a place to meet and exchange ideas with other gay and bisexual men in similar life circumstances and emotional worlds in a safe environment, and to experience that you are not alone with your feelings and fears, or that you don't have to cope with them and hide them. The group meets for themed discussion evenings (e.g., coming out; socio-political position and acceptance, for example within the family or circle of friends; etc.) and joint visits to cultural events.
The founders see the group as autonomous and independent, far removed from organizational structures—there are no membership fees. Menpoint is not a dating platform.

Background: How it all began with “menpoint”
Once upon a time, there was a man somewhere. One day, he decided to start coming out. However, it took another six months before he opened up to his colleagues at work. And so it came about that one of his colleagues made contact with men who volunteered at the “Gay Counseling Center in Kassel.” The three of them got together to get to know each other and make plans. Together, they outlined enough topics and discussion points to last for six months of meetings. This attempt was to last six months in any case. A meeting place for men. A meeting point for men. That's how Menpoint came about. That was in February 2013 – so Menpoint has been around for over 10 years now.

Contact:
Do you have any questions for Menpoint? Then send an email to: menpoint-kassel@gmx.de
