Roots & Wandering: Tea & Journaling Gathering

We find ourselves in Berlin — our roots somewhere else, we came for a short stay, lingered, and let the city slowly find us.

​Roots & Wandering is a cozy tea & journaling afternoon for anyone who ended up in this city and is still figuring out what that means — which, let's be honest, is most of us.

​We'll begin with a refreshing cold brew, then move through four teas brewed slowly in the Chinese gongfu cha tradition — each one a quiet companion to a different moment of the afternoon. Along the way, we'll slow down, write, and sit with the questions that city life rarely leaves room for.

​Where do I belong? What am I still carrying? What does home feel like, here, now?

​Through a short guided meditation, conscious writing, and self-guided journaling with prompts and colorful creative tools, we create a soft space to pause, reflect, and nourish ourselves. We'll close by writing a letter — to Berlin, to our future selves, or to both.

​About the Venue:

​Love Burger is a cozy, 100% plant-based, alcohol-free neighbourhood spot in Neukölln, run by a husband and wife from mixed backgrounds who love bringing people together over good food in a space that feels like it's for everyone.
