Just Start

Hello fellow writers, This is our Sunday meet-up at café Peppe. Come along, grab a coffee, shut up, and write! There will be two sessions of writing, each lasting 45 minutes, and two breaks. \- The first writing session will start at 10:45 am\. \- Second session will start at 11:45 am\. PS: We have limited space of 18 peoples. Please sign up accordingly. See you all on Sunday.

\*\*\*\*\*\* ***For address and more details see the website.*** \*\*\*\*\*\* **Event Info:** Bring along your **current book to read** (or something **creative** to work on 📚🎨🧵) and join us for this mix of a shared focus time + discussion. \- 11:00\-11:30 \- Meet & greet \- 11:30\-12:30 \- Silent focus time \- 12:30 \- Discussion of books/ projects over coffee **Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️ * **To reserve your place, a ticket (€9,90/event) or a community pass (only €14,90/MONTH) [from the website](www.pausify.org) is required** * **Attendance here doesn’t show all sign-ups from other platforms.** ***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?*** Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*. Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.

**👋🏽 Tschüss Tretmühle & einsame Vorsätze. Hallo Klarheit & echte Verbindung.** **🎯 In diesem Workshop setzt Du Dir Ziele für 2026 - gemeinsam mit Menschen, die sich ähnliche Fragen stellen.** **🌞 Ein Tag für Träume, klare Richtung & gute Verbindungen.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\- **💶 Teilnahmegebühr: 50 EUR vor Ort in bar oder PayPal.** Du kannst Dir auch ein **[Ticket auf Evenbrite sichern](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/deine-ziele-dein-leben-deine-ziele-fur-2026-tickets-1977712178364)**. Rechnung ist möglich. // Geld-Zurück-Garantie: Bei Nichtgefallen 100% Geld zurück. \-\-\-\-\-\-\- Gute Freunde & Freundinnen reden über ihre Ziele & Träume. Sie schauen zurück auf das vergangene Jahr und überlegen, wie das nächste werden soll. Genau das machen wir in diesem Workshop auch. **☕ In gemütlicher Atmosphäre widmen wir uns 4 Themen:** 🙏🏼 Wie war mein 2025. Was war großartig? Was war lappig? 🌴 Wie stelle ich mir mein Leben vor? 🌻 Wie soll mein 2026 werden? 🚂 Wie möchte ich die Ziele in 2026 umsetzen? Wir denken nach über das eigene Leben & das nächste Jahr - und sind gleichzeitig immer wieder im Austausch. **🌳 Gemeinsame Inspiration & Referenz** Deine Ziele für's nächste Jahr entstehen nicht im stillen Kämmerlein, sondern verbunden mit anderen. Dabei teilst Du, was Du teilen möchtest - was Du lieber für Dich behältst, bleibt Dein Geheimnis. Am Ende hast Du einen Plan für 2026. Du hast Dich mit anderen darüber ausgetauscht, Dich inspirieren lassen und vielleicht habt ihr ja sogar ähnliche Pläne? **Der Tag ist auch eine Referenz für:** Wie wäre es, wenn ich mit meinen Freunden gemeinsam einen solchen Tag gestalte? Die Unterlagen dafür hast Du ja im Anschluss und kannst gleich einen Termin mir Deinen Freunden vereinbaren. Ich freue mich auf jeden Fall auf gute Gesprächen & einen angenehmen Tag. **📝 Agenda:** * 8:45 Uhr: Ankommen, Tee & Schwatz * Kennenlernen & Rückblick 2025 * Lebensvision & Träume * 12:30 - 14:00 Uhr - Mittagspause * Deine Ziele für 2026 * Schärfung & Umsetzung * 18:00 Uhr - Ende . **🥗 Essen & Trinken** In der Mittagspause kannst Du Dich auf eigene Kosten in einem der zahlreichen, umliegenden Restaurants & Imbisse versorgen, sitzen & schwatzen. Bring Dir gern auch Snacks für den Tag und zwischendurch mit. Ich stelle **verschiedene Tees** **und Kaffee** zur Verfügung. . **🏡 Location** * Wir treffen uns bei mir am Wohnzimmertisch. * Für das Gefühl von chilliger Gemeinsamkeit ist gesorgt. . 🚫 **Was ist der Workshop nicht:** **Der Workshop ist kein Tschakka-Workshop.** Ich glaube, Du kannst (fast) alles erreichen, was Du willst. Doch ich glaube, die meisten Teilnehmenden werden eher solide Themen für 2026 haben. Dennoch bin ich offen für große Ziele - schließlich arbeite ich selbst an etwas Großem (Das Buch über Freundschaft). Für ein klein wenig Tschakka ist also auch Platz - nur eben keine Techno-Musik & blinkende Lichter. **👱🏽‍♂️ Über mich:** * Betreiber der Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de) * Ausgebildeter NLP-Trainer ([DVNLP](https://www.dvnlp.de/)) & Coach * Seit 15 Jahren setze ich mir selbst Ziele mit Freunden. * Jahrelang selbstständiger Unternehmensberater (u.a. über 5 Jahre Strategieberater für die Bundsbereitschaftsleitung des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes) * Eigene Vita: Von schüchternen Jungen zum fitten Mann * u.a. Weltreise: 1 Jahr allein eine Runde um den Globus. Das war fett! * Mehr über mich: [LinkedIn - Georg Preller](https://www.linkedin.com/in/georg-preller/) **😲 Ehemalige Teilnehmer/innen meiner Meeups:** "Was Georg kann: Tiefgang & Spaß zu gleichen Zeit. Ich bin immer wieder gern dabei!" . "Während des Workshops habe ich erkannt: In der Firma setzen wir uns jedes Jahr Ziele und reden mindestens ein Mal in der Woche darüber - nennt sich Meetings oder Jour Fixe bei uns. In meinem Privatleben lasse ich das schleifen und wundere mich, warum vieles nicht zu meiner Zufriedenheit läuft. Jetzt habe ich meine Ziele für 2024! Danke." . "Ziele alleine setzen ist ja nett, doch angenehmer finde ich den Austausch mit anderen. Ich mache mir das jetzt zur Gewohnheit. Interessant fand ich, welche Themen die anderen hatten. Wir sind doch alle gleich und doch verschiedenen." . "Georg bietet ein solides System, wie man sich seine Ziele setzt. Alles bedacht, und auswählen kann ich alleine. Man merkt, dass er eine gute Ausbildung hat. Gut finde ich, dass wir sowohl das gesamte Leben angesehen haben als auch das nächste Jahr." . "Sympatisch, übersichtlich, direkt. Dankeschön!" . **👋🏽 Get & stay in touch:** **✈ Telegram-Kanal: [t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft](http://t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft)** für Events, Workshops & Neuste Erkenntnisse aus der Freundschaftsforschung (nur Kurznews) **✉ Freundschafts-Newsletter:** [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter) Alle 4 Wochen das Neuste aus der Freundschaftsforschung.

Tauche ein in die faszinierende Welt der Luftartistik: Gemeinsam mit dem erfolgreichen Luftartistik-Duo monalaura veranstalten wir einen einzigartigen Foto-Workshop, bei dem die Begegnung und fotografische Zusammenarbeit mit professionellen Zirkusartistinnen im Vordergrund steht. Neben coolen Motiven für eure Kamera bekommt ihr hier einen Einblick in das Leben und den Alltag von professionellen Artistinnen. Ob Gala-Events, Touren oder das Leben auf dem Kreuzfahrtschiff - hier gibts einige spannende Stories zu hören. Für diesen Workshop liegt der Fokus auf dem Tanztrapez. Als zweites Requisit werden uns Strapaten zur Verfügung stehen. **Was dich erwartet:** Bei diesem Workshop habt ihr die Gelegenheit, das Gelernte direkt auszuprobieren, Fotos zu machen und Feedback zu bekommen. Inhalte auf die wir uns konzentrieren, sind: * Grundlagen und Feinheiten der Luftartistik – verständlich erklärt und aus fotografischer Perspektive gedacht * Zusammenarbeit mit Artist:innen: Was du im Umgang mit Profis wie monalaura wissen musst * Fototechniken und Perspektiven speziell für die Inszenierung von Kraft, Leichtigkeit und Dynamik in der Luft * Urban Aerials: Verschiedene Requisiten, verschiedene Ausdrucksformen – Trapez und Strapaten verbinden Körper, Material und Raum zu einer schwebenden Choreografie **Über monalaura:** Mona und Laura haben Körperkunst neu definiert: Die hingebungsvollen Artistinnen aus dem Norden warfen gleich zu Beginn ihrer Karriere alle Klischees, großen Posen und Glitzerkostüme über Bord, um etwas natürlich Schönes, erfrischend Neues und gleichzeitig zutiefst Weibliches zu kreieren. Sie sammelten Inspiration und Erfahrung in der Welt und gewannen ihr eigenes ästhetisches Kriterium. Das alles wurden feinste Zutaten für den monalaura-Stil! Der ist puristisch, tänzerisch, synchron und dennoch individuell, modern und sinnlich, spektakulär in seinem artistischen Niveau, untermalt von coolen Songs, auf den Punkt choreographiert, atemberaubend. Und, na klar: Garniert werden Showmomente à la monalaura stets mit einer Note hanseatischem Understatement. Schaut gerne mal auf ihrer Website vorbei: [https://monalaura.de/](https://monalaura.de/) **Die Location:** Für Luftartistik braucht es eine geeignete Location. Hängepunkte mit ausreichender Tragkraft und Raumhöhe sind eine unabdingbare Voraussetzung. Für diesen Foto-Workshop zieht es uns zu einem Ort, an dem Zirkusartist:innen aus aller Welt trainieren. Die Artistenhalle befindet sich im ersten Haus direkt auf dem Holzmarkt in Berlin-Friedrichshain. Mit einer Größe von 100 Quadratmetern, einer Deckenhöhe von 8,80 Metern und viel Tageslicht bietet sie die idealen Bedingungen für unseren Foto-Workshop.

**🎬 Screenwriters' Meetup Invitation 🎬** This meetup is for anyone passionate about storytelling—whether you’re a screenwriter, filmmaker, producer, or someone with a great idea looking for the right collaborators. Whether you’re just starting out or deep into your screenplay, this is the perfect space to create, collaborate, and refine your work. **When You Bring Your Screenplay, Think About Three Key Ingredients:** 1. **Your Main Character** – Who are they? What drives them? 2. **The Central Conflict** – What’s at stake? What’s standing in their way? 3. **The Theme** – What’s the deeper idea that motivates you to tell this story? If you’re struggling to find a theme, define your character, or establish a strong conflict—don’t worry. That’s exactly what this meetup is for. We’re here to help you uncover the core of your story and give you the tools to develop it further. Already have an elaborate story? Great! Reflect on these elements: * **Compelling Characters** – Are they layered, dynamic, and memorable? * **Inner Conflicts, Interpersonal Tensions, and Global Stakes** – Does your story operate on multiple levels? * **A Strong, Personal Theme** – Does your theme resonate with you and give your story purpose? If you can identify these elements, we can dive even deeper and give you focused, constructive feedback to help your screenplay reach its full potential. Bring your ideas, your drafts, and your passion. Let’s collaborate, challenge each other, and create stories that matter. We can’t wait to see you there!

Bringt gute Laune, schönes Wetter und Interesse mit. Wir treffen uns je nach Tour an unterschiedlichen Orten. Am 1. April 2018 um 15 Uhr gehts los am Eingang zur Akademie der Künste am Pariser Platz neben dem Brandenburger Tor.

Curious what we do? Check our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmmakersandmovienerds/) ♥️ Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies? **Then you should join us!** We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them. Together, we will talk about these topics: * What you are currently working on * What you need help with * What would you like to help with * What you you would like to learn This is event is great for: * filmmakers * movie nerds * writers * camera operators * editors * actors * sound recorders * composers * gaffers * producers We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

Join our Backgammon Meetup to play, socialize, and enjoy this classic game! Everyone’s welcome! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player. Expect fun, friendly games, laughter, and new friends. 👉 Please RSVP only if you plan to attend. 👉 Bring your own set if you have one. *** **How to Play (Quick Guide):** * Each player has 15 checkers and moves them toward their home board. * Dice rolls decide how many spaces you can move. * Land on an opponent’s single checker to send it to the bar. * Once all your checkers are home, start bearing off (removing them). * First to remove all checkers wins! *** **Fun Fact:** The Origin of Backgammon: Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games, with roots deeply embedded in the ancient civilisations of Mesopotamia. But it is in Persia, where the game truly flourished and evolved into what we now know as 'Takhte Nard'. Archaeological findings suggest that early forms of backgammon were played in Iran over 5,000 years ago. Artifacts such as game boards and dice have been discovered in sites like 'Shahr-e Sukhteh' (The Burnt City), indicating the game’s ancient origins.
