Frequently Asked Questions

Everyone is welcome at interlüde! No need to be extroverted, experienced, or outgoing. Just bring a little curiosity and a willingness to show up as yourself. We celebrate all backgrounds, stories, and identities. Most participants are in their mid-20s to early 40s and based in Berlin, but you’ll meet people from all over, both online and in person. The only thing we ask is that you show up with respect and care for others, in line with our Community Guidelines.

interlüde is made up of different spaces, each with its own vibe:

☕ Sprachcafé: A relaxed weekly German practice (Thursdays, 21:00 Berlin time). Free to join, contributions are welcome.

🥗 Salad Bowl: Thematic workshops and collaborations for mixing ideas and perspectives.

🎠 Playground: Social experiences, online and local, where you meet others in unexpected ways.

🌒 Darkroom: A camera-off space for deeper reflection and honesty, exploring the “less visible” parts of ourselves.

You’re not alone! Most people feel that way at first. Our sessions start gently, often in small groups, with guidance and plenty of space to arrive just as you are. There’s never pressure to perform: come as yourself, and go at your own pace. Respect for your boundaries and comfort is always at the heart of what we do.

Often, yes! 🙂 We don’t force outcomes, but rather focus on creating the right conditions: openness, curiosity, and a bit of shared vulnerability. Friendships and real connections tend to grow naturally from there.

Just choose your workshop, follow the steps in the description, and fill out a short form or grab a ticket.
You’ll get all the details you need to join. If you have any questions, our team is always here to help.

Yes. We want the sessions to be accessible to everyone.
If cost is a barrier, just reach out via message, and we’ll find a way that works for you.

We only collect what’s needed to organize your participation, like your email. You’ll receive updates about your event, or our newsletter if you signed up (but never spam). For details, check our Privacy Policy.

Life happens. If you booked via a platform (like Eventbrite), please cancel there. Otherwise, just reach out.

Refunds are available up to 48 hours before the event. Donations are non-refundable, as they go directly to support the project. More info on the Refund Policy page.

For paid workshops, please try not to arrive late. These experiences are carefully built from the very beginning, and coming in late can disrupt the group. If you’re running late, let us know. We’ll do our best to help.

For free sessions, it’s usually okay. Just let us know, and we’ll do our best to welcome you.

We take this seriously: clear Community Guidelines, active moderation, and support are available during and after every session.

Online, sessions are camera-free to increase comfort and honesty. In person, we follow the same principles: respect, consent, and awareness.

If you ever feel uncomfortable or unsure, you can always reach out during or after an event.

Without cameras, people often share more honestly, feel less judged, and listen more deeply. For us, it’s less about how you look, and more about how you connect.

It lets us create different spaces and experiences in one place, and you control your privacy and how you interact with them.

No worries! Here’s a video and an article to get you started. Or, you can just follow the mobile or desktop flow and ask for help once you're inside.

All of the above! 🙃
“Interlude” means a pause, a moment in between. That’s exactly what we create. “interlüde” is our German-flavored version, and “interluede” is the practical online spelling.

Same idea, different outfits.

We love that. Reach out via message we’re always open to collaborations and new formats.

You don’t have to be a certain type of person to belong here. Just bring a bit of curiosity, and you’re welcome. ✨
