Together, we will grow, heal, and empower each other, creating bonds that nourish and uplift.

From the very beginning, I have immersed myself in a spiritual women’s group, which has been a profound source of support and growth. Yoga and Tantra Yoga have brought incredible balance, harmony, and a deeper understanding of myself, truly transforming my life. Throughout my journey with the traditional integral Yoga system, I’ve learned practical ways to bring calm and balance into daily life, even in challenging times. Completing my Tantra Yoga for Women Instructor Training was a turning point, as it allowed me to blossom in ways I hadn’t thought possible. Being surrounded by a nurturing sisterhood showed me the immense power of women uplifting one another, and I now feel called to share this path with other women who seek similar transformation. In this **Tantra Yoga for Women** group, I am excited to lead you through these teachings, helping you connect deeply with your feminine energy and support your blossoming into fullness and joy. Together, we’ll create a safe and sacred space where you can embrace your own potential, find balance, and build bonds with a supportive community of women. I look forward to sharing this journey with you! **Price per month** Normal: 30,00 € ***Note:*** Over Meetup you can only sign-up for the first month for 10,00 €.

**Jeden Mittwoch von 18:30 – 20:30 Uhr auf Deutsch.** Probemonat für 15,00 €. Die letzte Möglichkeit den Probemonat zu beginnen ist der 08.04.2026. Danach ist der Kurs für neue Teilnehmer/-innen geschlossen. **Kursbeschreibung Traditioneller Tantra Yoga Kurs** Tantra Yoga ist weit mehr als Erotik mit Räucherstäbchen, wie es heutzutage in der westlichen Welt oft fälschlicherweise präsentiert wird. Tantra Yoga ist die Wissenschaft des Universums, die Wissenschaft des Lebens. Es bietet uns ein tiefes Verständnis der Funktionsweisen des Universums und seiner Prinzipien. Wer die Tantra Yoga Lehre für sich umsetzt, fängt an zu begreifen warum die Dinge so sind wie sie sind – und wie man genau das für die eigene spirituelle Entwicklung nutzen kann. Für einen Tantriker ist alles eins, ein großes kosmisches Ganzes, in das sich alle Wesen und alle Phänomene eingliedern. Und wenn alles aus einem großen Ganzen, einem einzigen heiligen, schöpferischen Bewusstsein hervorgeht, gibt es nichts das nicht heilig wäre. Wer Tantra Yoga lebt, begreift das Leben als einen Schöpfungsprozess, als ein göttliches Spiel, dessen Ziel es ist zurück zu kehren in die Glückseligkeit der Einheit mit allem. Auf diese Weise werden der Weg zur Arbeit, der neue Geschäftsabschluss, das Liebesspiel und sogar emotionale Regungen wie Unzufriedenheit u. ä. zum Antrieb ständigen Wachstums und zum Grund glückseliger Fröhlichkeit. Tantra Yoga nennt das Leben eine Achterbahn, und Achterbahn fahren macht Spaß – egal ob wir gerade den Berg hoch oder runter rauschen! Der Traditionelle Tantra Yoga Kurs gibt uns Werkzeuge an die Hand, das Leben zu verstehen und freudig zu leben, immer vor dem Hintergrund des kontinuierlichen spirituellen Wachstums.

**Wir treffen uns am 10.04. um 19:00 im kleinen Café des Paul-Schneider-Hauses für einen gemütlichen Brettspiele-Abend! Getränke können dort gekauft oder selbst mitgebracht werden. Was mitzubringen ist: Snacks (wenn benötigt) und eure Lieblingsspiele! Es sind dort keine Spiele vorrätig, deshalb sind wir auf unsere eigenen Spiele angewiesen. Wenn jemand aber nichts mitbringen kann, ist das auch kein Problem. Ich freue mich auf euch :)** Wir möchten eine Gemeinschaft gründen, in der Menschen sich treffen, austauschen und gemeinsam neue Erfahrungen machen. Unser Ziel ist es, eine offene und fröhliche Atmosphäre zu schaffen, in der neue Bekanntschaften entstehen und interessante Gespräche geführt werden können. Bist du neu in Spandau und hast noch nicht richtig Anschluss gefunden? Lebst du schon länger in Spandau und möchtest nicht immer nach Mitte fahren, um Neues zu erleben? Wenn du Lust hast, Teil dieser Gemeinschaft zu werden und gemeinsam schöne Momente zu erleben, bist du herzlich eingeladen, dich uns anzuschließen! Wir freuen uns auf dich! :) \-\-\- **EN** \-\-\- **We are meeting on the 10th of April at 7 pm for a relaxed Boardgames Evening at the small café of the Paul-Schneider-Haus!

But also don't worry, if you have nothing to bring. Can't wait to see you there :)** We want to create a community where people can meet, exchange ideas and share new experiences. Our aim is to create an open and friendly atmosphere where you can find new friends and have interesting conversations. Are you new to Spandau and haven't really found your place yet? Have you been living in Spandau for a while and don't always want to travel to Mitte to experience something new? If you would like to become part of this community and experience some great moments together, you are welcome to join us! We are happy to see you soon! :)

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!
