Come join a small group for hatha yoga in my home studio in Prenzlauer berg. I am a certified yoga teacher, having trained in Bali and India. After the class you will feel relaxed, yet energised. Mats are included and sanitised, altogether 15 euros. Your muscles will be lengthened and back stiffness reduced more and more each time✨

If you don't want to drive all the way through Berlin for a cozy game evening, then Spieltreff Spandau is the place for you! We play every Thursday from 6:30 p.m. in the Lebenshilfe Groenerstrasse storefront, or outside on the terrace when the weather is nice in summer. But you can also come later, because we usually play until at least 10 p.m., and there are always new rounds of the game. Thanks to the support of numerous game publishers, we have various board, card and dice games available, but you can also bring your own games. You can find the Spieltreff Spandau at Groenerstrasse 20 near Falkenseer Platz and Bismarckplatz. We are easy to reach by public transport and there are enough parking spaces in the area. Admission is free, we are happy about a donation of 2 €.

**Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈** is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin. We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together. We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff. And you are welcome to join! No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome! To coordinate and plan activities, please join our **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://signal.group/#CjQKIApfEgb36v82nhIb7m6zLCQjEtSEZubR7UvywTcWZXxdEhBWxhMWNCKekvtCYX7iDRRm)**[ Signal group](https://signal.group/#CjQKIApfEgb36v82nhIb7m6zLCQjEtSEZubR7UvywTcWZXxdEhBWxhMWNCKekvtCYX7iDRRm)! **Planned programme** Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A. This time, our main topic is going to be dependency-tree security. Jan-Erik will share insights into how security is upheld at Mozilla — in the Firefox project — in the context of third party open source library packages and repeated attempts at attacks through malicious crates. If someone brings other cool stuff, questions or problems, then let us dedicate the second half of the meetup time to that! Anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show something, ask something, or explore a topic together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere. **Projected upcoming meetups** We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks). 22 January 2026 is our tenth meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates: * 19 Feb 2026 * 19 Mar 2026 * 16 Apr 2026 * 14 May 2026 * 11 Jun 2026 * 9 Jul 2026 **Location** Our meetup location is the new shared office community space of Ferrous Systems, Slint and KDAB in Berlin Mitte, for up to 25 people. We are expecting to use this space as our default location for the time being, with the IN-Berlin e.V. community space in Moabit as backup. Regardless, as our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead. As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is. So give it a shot! **Accessibility** The location has an elevator and a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Please note that the bathroom is two floors down from the meetup space. On our quest for a bigger location, we are going to pay special attention to accessibility. **Community** We aim to create a safe place for everyone and adhere to the [Berlin Code of Conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/). Inclusivity is very important to us. If you are curious about Rust, but unsure if you are welcome to join: Yes, yes you are. Please come to the meetup! If you have special needs, please get in contact, we will try to accommodate you as best we can. We are part of [https://berline.rs/](https://berline.rs/) and like to hang out in the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup's [Matrix channel](https://matrix.to/#/!xycQxSjSAvEezkyztA:chat.berline.rs). You are very welcome to join!

Zu Beginn erhältst du eine Einführung in die Grundlagen der Langzeitbelichtung. Perfekt für alle, die bisher wenig oder keine Erfahrung damit haben. Schritt für Schritt steigern wir den Anspruch: Von ersten Experimenten mit Licht und Bewegung bis hin zu gemeinsamen Bildideen, in denen Artist:innen und das Requisit Licht kreativ miteinander verschmelzen. Dieser Workshop lädt dazu ein, Neues auszuprobieren, Techniken zu verfeinern und Bilder zu schaffen, die weit über klassische Zirkus- oder Fotomomente hinausgehen. 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 verschiedener Zirkusdisziplinen – verständlich erklärt und aus fotografischer Perspektive gedacht * Akrobatik, Jonglage oder Tricks auf dem Einrad? Wie bei einer echten Zirkus-Show bekommst du hier das volle Programm * Lichtmalerei mal anders: Ob Keulen, Bälle, Lichtstäbe oder Poi - die Bewegungen und Lichtprogramme eröffnen ganz neue kreative Möglichkeiten, die es gemeinsam zu entdecken gilt.

Die Vermittlung von Blitzfotografie ist kein Teil des Workshops. Ideal für Fotograf:innen mit Interesse an Bewegung, Show und Kunst. Vorkenntnisse sind kein Muss.

**Calling all queer crochet enthusiasts;** I am a visual artist located in Columbus that is searching for people who may want to gather while also participating in creating a piece of artwork. My goal is to spend time enjoying one another’s company while making a work of art that will be displayed within our community. I plan to teach people to crochet (if unfamiliar) while also inviting current fiber artists to join us for some much-needed social interaction. There are no expectations from those who attend, materials will be included, and any amount of participation is welcome! If you have a favorite crochet hook or current project you are welcome to bring that along too! The primary goal is to foster a safe space for our community to chat, create and be. For further information please email [landerknits@outlook.com.](http://landerknits@outlook.com.) \*This will be our 2nd meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.
