Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…:
• a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together…
• a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like…
Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 12 years of facilitating these sessions. Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments… All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space.
• no experience with meditation or music is needed to participate and enjoy
Entrance at the door: €20

Sunday Tech Coffee Meetup
Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin.
Usually we are inside at the green table. Look for the Meetup sign, or just ask around!
Realistic Portrait Drawing with Pencil
*Photo and drawing: © Alessia Sinopoli*
This workshop is aimed at anyone who wishes to explore realistic pencil portrait drawing from photographic references through a structured method, and wants to learn or refine pencil hatching and shading techniques.
The workshop is designed for a small group, allowing a flexible and supportive approach, adapting to each participant’s level: from guiding beginners to helping experienced artists tackle their personal creative challenges. Without the pressure of achieving a final result, we will immerse ourselves in learning the method and enjoying the creative process.
You will train the ability to truly observe a face, and the practical tools to translate it effectively into an authentic, realistic portrait.
**What we’ll do... step by step:**
We’ll combine theory and practice.
* Practice targeted observation to select the best reference photo
* Use the grid method for accurate proportions and create a preliminary sketch
* Understand the differences between pencils of various hardness and get familiar with the materials we’ll use
* Master shading (the real magic!) with hatching techniques to shape volume and depth
* Train your observational skills to recognize different tonal values
* Explore changing perspectives to refresh your vision
* Discuss common mistakes and learn how to avoid them
* Participate in an open Q&A, receive personalized tips, and get feedback throughout the process
* Learn how to preserve and protect your finished portrait
**Breaks and Refreshments**
While drawing, we’ll enjoy some tea. Between the first and second parts of the workshop, we’ll take a relaxing 30-minute break, as drawing can be quite intense. It’ll be the perfect moment to connect, share a cup of coffee, and savor a slice of cake together. And since it’s the pre-festive season, this time the cake will be Italian panettone, to add a touch of pre-Christmas cheer!
**Location**
The workshop takes place here at Kunstraum Heartspace, a bright and inspiring shared studio. It’s welcoming and filled with creative energy.
**Booking**
=> Max. 8 people
=> Level: Beginners and all levels
=> Technique: Pencils on paper
=> All materials provided: Paper, pencils, precision eraser, reference photos
=> Price: €45 per person

**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

* **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.

Consent / Learning about boundaries and communication
**Embodied Consent**
**Lernen über Grenzen und Kommunikation and communication**
mit ***Karl-Henrik Sahlén***
für **LGBTQIA+**
**Kostenlos mit [Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w51-2025/)**
🔵
Sich seiner Grenzen bewusst zu sein und sein Einverständnis oder Nicht-Einverständnis auszudrücken, sind wichtige Fähigkeiten im Leben, aber wir haben nicht oft die Gelegenheit, die Fähigkeit des Einverständnisses auf die gleiche Weise zu üben wie andere Fähigkeiten, wie Singen, Sport treiben oder eine Sprache lernen.
Bei Consent geht es um viel mehr als ein einfaches Ja oder Nein. Wenn wir die Zustimmung dekonstruieren, entdecken wir, wie wir unsere wahren Wünsche kommunizieren können, und hören auf, Dinge zu wählen, die wir nicht wollen.
Durch Diskussionen, Bewegung und Partnerspiele werden wir Werkzeuge entwickeln, um körperliche Wünsche auszudrücken und zu verhandeln und durch praktische Übungen Grenzen zu setzen. Dieser Workshop ist für Menschen aller Körpergrößen, Geschlechter und Hintergründe offen und einladend.
Es handelt sich um einen nicht-sexuellen Workshop bei dem, ohne Druck, Kommunikation und Berührung geübt werden können. Es geht genauso darum, wirklich Ja zu sagen und es auch so zu meinen, wie es darum geht, Nein zu sagen!
Wenn du noch nicht an einem Workshop zum Thema Consent im Village teilgenommen hast, ist es jetzt an der Zeit! Diese Erfahrung wird dir nicht nur helfen, sich in der we are village Conmmunity zurechtzufinden, sondern sie wird dich auch dazu befähigen, diese Werte in dein Leben zu übertragen.
Gemeinsam wollen wir eine auf Consent ausgerichtete Gemeinschaft mit gemeinsamen Werten aufbauen und dabei die Verantwortung des Einzelnen für die Einhaltung dieser Grundsätze betonen. Unser oberstes Ziel ist es, gesunde Beziehungen zu fördern und eine integrative Community für eine bessere, vernetzte Zukunft zu schaffen.
**Hinweise**
* **Anmeldung**: Eine verbindliche Anmeldung über unsere **[Webseite](https://wearevillage.org/shop/embodied-consent/w26-2025)** ist erforderlich. Die Teilnehmerzahl ist auf 18 Personen begrenzt, um die Qualität des Austauschs zu gewährleisten.
* **Sprache**: dieseer Workshop ist auf Deutsch durchgeführt. Dieser Workshop wird abwechselnd von einem deutschsprachigen und einem englischsprachigen Lehrer geleitet, um ein perfektes Verständnis des Themas zu gewährleisten. Bitte wähle deine Sitzung nach unserem Zeitplan.
* **Kosten**: Die Veranstaltung ist kostenlos.

**Embodied Consent**
**Learning about boundaries and communication**
Being aware of your boundaries and expressing your consent or non-consent are essential skills in life, but we don’t often get a chance to actually practice consent skills in the same way we practice other skills, like singing, playing sports or learning a language.
Consent is about much more than a simple yes or no. When we deconstruct consent, we discover how to communicate our true desires and stop choosing the things we don’t. Through discussion, movement and partner games, we will build tools to express and negotiate physical desires and set boundaries through the use of practical exercises. This workshop is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all body sizes, genders, and background.
This is a non-sexual workshop, and great, low pressure situation in which to practice communication and touching. It’s as much about how to truly say yes and mean it as it is about saying no!
If you’ve not yet taken a consent workshop at the village, now is the time! This experience will not only help you navigate within the we.are.village community, but it will also equip you to carry these values into your life. Together, we aim to nurture a consent-centered community with shared values, emphasizing individual responsibility in upholding these principles. Our ultimate goal is to foster healthy relationships and create an inclusive community for a better, more connected future.
**General Information**
* **Registration**: max. 18 participants with mandatory registration **[through our website](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/embodied-consent/w51-2025)**. Limiting the number of participants is necessary to ensure the quality of the process.
* **Language**: This workshop is conducted in German.
To ensure a better understanding of the subject, it is led alternately by a German-speaking teacher and an English-speaking teacher. Please select the workshop that best suits your language needs.
* **Cost**: Free of charge
✨ Neues Jahr – Neue Energie: Transformationsabend im Licht der Göttinnen
Der 21. Dezember gilt in alten Kulturen als eine der mächtigsten Schwellen – der Übergang von der Dunkelheit ins Licht. In diesem besonderen Event vereinen wir die Weisheit der Großen Göttinnen mit der Kundalini-Energie und begrüßen gemeinsam das erste Licht des neuen Jahres.
In dieser Veranstaltung werden wir:
🌕 Die Bedeutung des 21. Dezember in verschiedenen antiken Kulturen sowie die Wiedergeburtsenergie und den symbolischen Zyklus von Kybele–Attis betrachten.
🌺 Gemeinsam entdecken wir auf interaktive Weise – mit Unterstützung von Kreativ-Drama – die inneren Spiegelungen der erneuernden, schöpferischen, mutigen und transformierenden Prinzipien der Großen Göttinnen wie Kybele, Isis, Durga und Kali.
🌀 Darüber sprechen, warum die Kundalini-Lebenskraft an diesem Datum leichter aktiviert werden kann und wie sie mentale Klarheit, innere Balance, gesteigerte Intuition, emotionale Widerstandsfähigkeit und mehr Lebensenergie unterstützen kann.

### SOL in Columbus, OH
\- A Smart\-guided Short One\-way Loop Bikeway Tour
Short One-way Loop (SOL) in Columbus on bikeways. The smart-guided tour is mostly through scenic riverside parks with a quick downtown peek. All of that in 10 miles!
83% of the route is bikeway, and the rest is Google Maps designated "bicycle-friendly roads". This short ride passes through several beautiful riverside parks. Passing through downtown the route runs alongside Huntington Park baseball stadium, Nationwide Arena hockey stadium, near North Market (worth a stop if you enjoy markets with lots of tasty treats), within a few blocks of the state capitol, convention center, art museum, center of science and industry, several first-class hotels, and much more (see Points of Interest list below).

It is only posted with a repeating set time and date with a tour leader to fit the Meetup format, and, more importantly, to encourage you to get out and ride when it is convenient for you. **If you are going to ride it and would like the company of others, then simply RSVP and post in the comments when it is that you are going to ride - date and time.**
Take pictures/videos and share. Have fun!

If you are interested in riding by yourself or with your private group of friends, then simply do it.\*
***The mission of this format is to create a catalog*** *of free group tour routes available for CycleNuts to ride as a group, or solo, in an area spanning several states. **The goal is to get people out cycling** either in groups or solo. **The vision is a cycling community with resources** available for bike tours, bike talk, and a format for lives experienced at the speed of bike.*

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.
