Hey You!
On this Friday I will teach you a few basic steps of shuffling. We will break down the steps, in your time, in your style.
We will explore your own flow of your body to different kinds of music and how we can use it in shuffling. I want to create a safe space for everyone who is just starting their shuffle journey or is already on the path.

Hallo Du!
Diesen Freitag möchte ich Dir ein paar Basic-Schritte vom Shufflen zeigen. Wir werden die Schritte langsam durchgehen, in deiner Zeit, in deinem Tempo.
Wir werden den eigenen Flow entdecken und wie Du deinen Körper zu verschiedner Musik im Shufflen integrieren kannst.
Ich möchte für jede Person einen Safe-Space erschaffen, egal ob Du ganz Neu bist oder schon etwas gelernt hast.

Christmas with Pausify 🌟🎄📚
Christmas with Pausify 🌟🎄📚
\*\*\*\*\*\* ***For address and more details see the website.*** \*\*\*\*\*\* **This time, we’re adding a little Christmas twist to the Pausify routine!** On December 19, our focus section will take a slightly more **interactive** form — alongside the usual calm atmosphere, we will be swapping the cold Berlin evening for food, crafts, music, drinks, games and very good company 🎄✨ Join us for an evening of **Glühwein**, **Christmas snacks**, **great company,** and **live music** by an international artist, meet lovely people & enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. Also, feel free to bring your favourite board games! PS: Prefer to keep it calm? Totally fine. If you’d rather just unwind and enjoy your usual quiet focus time at Pausify, you can do that too. The focus session and discussion round will still follow the same rhythm as usual, with a chance to share what you’ve been reading or working on. 💛 ***AND HOW DOES OUR REGULAR EVENT WORK? =>*** 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. \- Meet & greet \- Silent focus time \(60 min\) \- Discussion of books/ projects over drinks **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. See pics from our events below - and on our Instagram: **[@Pausify (Co-Reading Space)](https://www.instagram.com/pausify_org/) ☕️**📚 **[Pausify Co-Reading Space Website](www.pausify.org/)** For questions, please contact us over [Website](www.pausify.org/) as this platform can have issues.

Moderne Spiritualität, persönliche Entwicklung & Gemeinschaft
Moderne Spiritualität, persönliche Entwicklung & Gemeinschaft
Dieses erste Treffen ist ein offenes Kennenlernen für Menschen, die sich für persönliche und spirituelle Entwicklung interessieren – und Lust auf echten Austausch haben. Viele von uns lesen Bücher, hören Podcasts oder besuchen Workshops. Doch was oft fehlt, ist Gemeinschaft, Verkörperung und ehrliche Begegnung. Dieser Abend ist kein Workshop, kein Coaching und kein Vortragsmarathon – sondern ein entspannter Raum zum Ankommen, Austauschen und Verbinden. Was dich erwartet: * kurzes Ankommen & Vorstellungsrunde * ein sanfter Impuls zu moderner Spiritualität & persönlicher Entwicklung * offener Austausch auf Augenhöhe * eine kleine, freiwillige Achtsamkeits- oder Körperübung * Raum für Fragen, Neugier & Begegnung Worum es in dieser Gruppe grundsätzlich geht: * Bewusstsein & persönliche Entwicklung als Erfahrungsweg * Körper, Nervensystem & Emotionen mit einbeziehen * Gemeinschaft statt Alleingang * Offenheit für verschiedene Wege & Perspektiven In zukünftigen Treffen wird es u.a. um Themen wie Meditation, Breathwork, Embodiment, Rituale, Nervensystem-Arbeit, Ecstatic Dance, Coaching-Impulse und Austausch mit eingeladenen Expert:innen gehen – dieses erste Treffen dient vor allem dem Kennenlernen. Für wen ist das Treffen geeignet? * für Neugierige wie für Erfahrene * für Menschen, die Tiefe suchen, ohne Dogma * für alle, die lieber erleben als nur darüber reden Was du nicht brauchst: Vorkenntnisse, spirituelle Labels oder „Erleuchtung“. Komm einfach so, wie du gerade bist. Organisator: Ich beschäftige mich seit über 20 Jahren mit persönlicher und spiritueller Entwicklung und habe viele der vorgestellten Ansätze selbst erfahren. Die Gruppe ist kein Lehrformat, sondern ein gemeinsamer Erfahrungs- und Austauschraum. 🌱 Wenn du spürst, dass da mehr ist – und du es nicht alleine erforschen willst – bist du herzlich willkommen.

LGBTQIA+ Community Crochet- First Meeting!
LGBTQIA+ Community Crochet- First Meeting!
**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 first meeting, bring friends and make new ones. Come as you are and make along side other like-minded folks.

Session Abstract **Data on Fire: A Hands-On Intro to Spark in Fabric** Curious about Apache Spark but not sure where to start? This hands-on session introduces you to Spark in Microsoft Fabric Notebooks—a powerful and accessible way to process and analyze big data using familiar tools in the Microsoft ecosystem. We’ll break down key Spark concepts like distributed computing, DataFrames, and lazy evaluation, then show how they come to life inside Fabric’s notebook experience. You’ll see practical demos that cover loading, transforming, and analyzing large datasets—while leveraging Fabric’s modern data stack, including OneLake, Dataflows, and Pipelines. You’ll also learn how to choose between Spark and pure Python notebooks in Fabric, based on execution needs, data integration, and use case fit. Whether you're a SQL pro, BI developer, or data engineer, this session will give you the tools and confidence to start using Spark in your own projects—no cluster management required. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
