SEED SPACE is a safe(r) healing sanctuary, reclaiming spirituality and wellness for BIWOC in Berlin (and beyond). It’s a place that educates on the traditional seeds of ancient wellness wisdom and shares practices to inspire ancestral healing.

INTERSECTIONAL WORK & SOCIAL CLUB

BIWOC* Rising is the first intersectional work & social club in Berlin and Germany. This safer space is exclusively for women, trans, inter and non-binary people who identify as Black, indigenous or of Colour! Through training programs, empowerment workshops, and a work-desk in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg, BIWOC* Rising is creating a new working culture – a working culture that transcends the white, homogenous, capitalist one that has been a core driver of gentrification and marginalization in Berlin.
