FLOW Meditation - an active, fun & expansive shared auditory experience Schedule 19:00 – Doors open, meet and greet, snacks & drinks 20:00 – Session Start, explanation, warm up & first round - planting seeds 21:00 - Short Break & Then second round - deepening the roots 21:30 - Closing, feedback, chill out 23:00 – End 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 Audio samples • [https://soundcloud.com/.../flow-vocal-meditation-spring...](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fuser-164945673%2Fsets%2Fflow-vocal-meditation-spring-2023-real-magic-with-11-strangers%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkAIhcVmTyCq9IOEoXjKFCeIKeQkFhfTo1AMXpFxXqMT8MHpUrHTQFJ2aFBR_aem_79yaFhXmfnLJE77nWQlmyA&h=AT3DcPo9_IbGHKE3o5OKe12TOM95OO_fmBd8wc_R50S2YMVig4WI2tBo-ax5cTPzApnxu7H_5dIVw1piiHGQRq2TQgEKEMHhnGfAe3-mxuySWYsJ1HPgrsSFxSwYHCERTYeoq1hsWiV2MtYGipAgO5hMfbQysBVublo&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://www.baumhausberlin.de/.../11/19/proof-of-real-magic/](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.baumhausberlin.de%2Fen%2F2019%2F11%2F19%2Fproof-of-real-magic%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHrdXU7RI38vP56mGxeDBtXC8gj17fVJGXRLe2ECRmtybehh4gT8u22tnDn5G_aem_0HkowrPW3WKUviMB-7a85Q&h=AT3NMpXZxbSLOUVU2xeBiOW9xsjCVSTGlbFp39o56LiTye3vK-CCRnd63vTUS0aWyVzwt4rTX_pbJYkOmHN0ERWgJdDD-xtMkdkmC-YeVzZ-TFk21Wq98pJJEDrTb3vDTMZwZ08RlAexxisDyqX466hgciKGCZXJ0DA&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://soundcloud.com/.../improvisational-groove...](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fdas-baumhaus%2Fsets%2Fimprovisational-groove-orchestra-baumhaus-23072017%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkAIhcVmTyCq9IOEoXjKFCeIKeQkFhfTo1AMXpFxXqMT8MHpUrHTQFJ2aFBR_aem_79yaFhXmfnLJE77nWQlmyA&h=AT0NXm5bCevOQda2Odm40e9DJuFCXMsSVTS8DOQ25zXSkzYB7eU3k7vzVcY6HXDOcnzvEaomQZ2SzWpIQRVEac501usw-BIkjetSYUx-yZRN9okSxKJlOUxCJf3-I-0OsQmwM7gCr1LdqevXC2MAgJLsiMa45sxUiig&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://soundcloud.com/scott-bolden/ebb-and-flow-p2-edit-2](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fscott-bolden%2Febb-and-flow-p2-edit-2%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHp-G-Mo60REIr1iDhdIb3DVP0a_OX5IQQUhxEr5RAbNKreCaiqnIMKlg00me_aem_-bKQiefiQS-VKr4wNLpRPA&h=AT3p6CHoQWPgKUHII0AOS83Hc40yN4_a9GdikdtCuXduL3phzmrJSf8ncA0t8n5kiq2SoYVkRBhgyLD8mIHDteOiMFc3ohCiIcA4KR05FM0AAFyOWSJRiXbb2RL-qWWIcOgrk-5IoNljrrs7t2OU_V20xjhKrlouOzs&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://soundcloud.com/scott-bolden/gently-flowing-through-a?in=scott-bolden/sets/ego-session-5-nov-13-2014](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fscott-bolden%2Fgently-flowing-through-a%3Fin%3Dscott-bolden%252Fsets%252Fego-session-5-nov-13-2014%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjMwdtxoKsQYzcGwoDKJ3owd9QOfaoIRizhmsjRJztXsftDEy699HB55LUTj_aem_yP-UOtXHWrWp0AVWLu9Okg&h=AT0jb--3GfJPxU8thY_AVyzK22IEOIWhbNtGZoke1g4Cw5B2tGJhGTWnhPkLADvul-LRQZNSeuAzc9WTYr4Rw9FM_EpO_xkgWBqP7Z86caHAu1wiqlfAfJMYXdNzTYu9Hq2JhpUrIiC6VDZlWefrncnWiJG_U3-4eqU&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) Private session for groups and organizations are available upon request. contact – info@baumhausberlin.de [www.baumhausberlin.de](http://www.baumhausberlin.de/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHp-G-Mo60REIr1iDhdIb3DVP0a_OX5IQQUhxEr5RAbNKreCaiqnIMKlg00me_aem_-bKQiefiQS-VKr4wNLpRPA) Gerichtstr.23 Vh Eg 13347 Berlin

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!

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!\*\***

\*\*\*\*\*\* ***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. 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. Thank you! *Please note that photos and videos may be taken during the event and used for promotional purposes to highlight and share the experiences at our events. If you have concerns, don't hesitate to approach the event organizers before the event.*

Who doesn't enjoy a twisted tale to go along with their holiday cheer!? Join us as we get together for a psychological thriller and quite possibly the biggest book-to-film release this year: THE HOUSEMAID! The twisty-turny tale follows a young woman who takes a job as a housekeeper for a well-to-do family who could harboring dark secrets! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Trying to escape her past, a young woman accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for a wealthy couple. But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous - a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, power and filled with shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end. The Housemaid is directed by Paul Feig (A Simple Favor) and based on the first in a series of books by Freida McFadden. The film stars Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar, Michele Morrone and Elizabeth Perkins. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48CtX6OgU3s BUZZ: Early buzz is strong with critics calling it an "entertaining,” "twisty" and suspenseful psychological thriller with non-stop twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end! PLAN: Details for this event have already been confirmed! Please purchase your ticket for the 7:15pm showing and we’ll meet in the lobby area between 6:45 and 7:00pm! This fun little twisted thriller is shaping up to be the surprise hit of the season so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised!

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). Easily, anywhere along the way, the tour can be detoured to nearby points of interest. This smart-guided route comes with CycleNuts' 50% downhill guarantee. Sweating is optional. If your bike has gears, you might use them to climb in a few spots. All bikes are appropriate for this smart-guided tour (even a single-speed if you do not mind walking your bike up the spots mentioned). The route is shaded about 50% of the way. Sweating is optional - you set your pace, starting time, and touring agenda. Points of interest: COSI Scioto River North Market German Village The Scioto Mile Brewery District Huntington Park Nationwide Arena Columbus Union Station Arch Greater Columbus Convention Center **The Meetup plan = Show up, Rally with whoever else shows up, and Roll following the smart-guided instructions.** This is a smart guided tour route that can be ridden any day or time, solo or with others. 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! ***This is a repeating event on the calendar***\*, but the date and time do not necessarily need to be what is posted. **If you are interested in riding with a group, then simply RSVP and leave a message in the comment section** giving the date and time you would like others to join you. 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.*

Monday December 29th at 6PM we'll be meeting up dinner at the Pies & Pints at Easton. Feel free to bring guests. Sandwiches run about $15 and large pizzas run $20-30.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
