TRAUMAVILLE: Welcome to the Chaos! Stand up Comedy. Tera looks back at her Not-so-all-american family life (pyramid schemes, school sh\*\*tings, growing up with a jesus-loving-liberal-mother, and a con-artist step father) how that affects her relationships (failures in love) and of course - the downfall of one of the greatest short-lived nations of our times - the USA. NEW JOKES + Classic Jokes. Work in progress. [BOOK HERE ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/english-stand-up-comedy-with-tera-kilbride-traumaville-welcome-2-chaos-tickets-1444773840449?aff=oddtdtcreator) DETAILS: 10 Euros, Pay Online. (Or 15 at the Door) WILL THE SHOW BE ANY GOOD? Tera has over 25 years stage experience, it'll be fun. Also the energy YOU bring makes it good! WHERE CAN I SEE THE COMEDIAN'S CLIPS FIRST? Youtube or Instagram [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/teracomedy_/?hl=en) [YOUTUBE](https://www.youtube.com/@teracomedy) Ego, love, politics… what do they all have in common? Absolutely everything — and somehow, it’s still your family’s fault. *Egotistical* is a cheeky, sharp-tongued dive into the glorious mess of egos (yes, including mine), the delicate delusions we call love, and the world leaders who treat entire countries like their personal dumping ground. From childhood moments that quietly deflated our sense of self to distorted adult relationships — this show connects the dots between growing up, blowing up, and occasionally ruining everything. It’s about how we learned to love… badly. How we learned to lead… worse. And how, deep down, we’re all just overconfident children with Wi-Fi and unresolved issues. Come for the laughs, stay for the uncomfortable realizations — and maybe call your parents after. Or don’t. VENUE: Z-Bar Berlin, mitte Bergstrasse 2. You must arrive by 20:15 to claim your seat!! But come as early as 19:00 for drinks if you want! Show starts 20:30 sharp. Runs 60-90 minutes. TERA: Tera's a former therapist turned international stand up comedian, host and producer, originally from the United States, living in Europe. She’s performed English standup in 15 countries + adding to the roster! Her content tackles growing up, relationships, cultural humor, mental health, dark humor performed with good vibes, and living as an immigrant in Europe. Tera´s known for her energetic delivery, her bold content and fearlessly engaging with her audience. Tera has headlined sets in Berlin, Dresden, Cologne, Munich, Ireland, Portugal, Paris, the famous Indra music club in Hamburg, and played sold out theatres in Lyon, etc…

Have you ever seen a comedian before and thought you yourself, "Boy, oh boy, I'd sure love to give that guy a piece of my mind!" or, "Gee-whizz that was not bad at all!" or "Fuck this person." well then **this is the show for you!** **Sometimes People Are Shit is a show where comedians try out seven minutes of new material that nobody has ever heard before**. Maybe. That I can't quite guarantee but once their sets are over you, the people, get to give your feedback to the comedian. It could be good, it could be bad, but it will always be constructive! **Show starts at 22.00 sharp**. Get there nice and early for some good pre-gaming booze and tell your friends to tell their friends and so on, and so on.

Meet like-minded people, get authentic meditation instructions and hang out in our beautiful Buddhist meditation center in the west of Berlin! The practice of meditation is a simple, yet profound practice that helps us to connect with ourselves and gives us tools to release experiences of distraction, agitation, and stress. In the Buddhist tradition, meditation is more than just a way to end the mind´s distraction - it is what helps us to bring our mind home to its true nature. What better way to experience the colourful facets of meditation than with a group of like-minded people? Hence our open meditation sessions always have a social element as well - we like to have a tea and share about our meditation experiences, or whatever else we want to explore. There is also always the chance to ask questions to our experienced meditation instructors. These sessions are held in English and open to everyone - complete beginners as well as those with more experience. The sessions are every week on Friday at 17:00-18:30.

Bengali New Year Celebration Step into a new year, Bengali style 🌿✨ Pohela Boishakh marks the Bengali New Year—a celebration of renewal, simplicity, community, and food that is deeply rooted in tradition. This evening is an invitation to experience that spirit in an intimate, thoughtfully curated supper club setting. If you’re new to Bengali cuisine, this is a beautiful place to begin. The menu will center around bhorta—a traditional style of preparing food where vegetables, seeds, and herbs are gently mashed together with mustard oil, spices, and care. It’s humble, soulful, and incredibly expressive of Bengali home cooking. This edition will be fully vegetarian, highlighting the diversity and depth of plant-based dishes in Bengali culture. Each preparation carries a story- of seasonality, resourcefulness, and the art of making something extraordinary from simple ingredients. The full menu will be shared a few days before the event. If you have any dietary restrictions or food allergies, please let us know in advance so we can accommodate you thoughtfully. ✨ What to expect: – A curated cultural dining experience – A chance to learn about Bengali New Year traditions – Warm, communal seating and storytelling through food – A slower, more intentional way to connect over a meal 💳 Contribution: 29.90€ per person Come as you are, bring your curiosity,and celebrate new beginnings with us.

Hi everyone. We'll meet and play a relaxed game of ultimate in Volkspark Rehberge if the weather cooperates. Our games focus on having great team play, where the teams work together to advance the disk down the field. It's more important to work well together as a team than have a few star players get a point with lucky shots. For this reason, players of all skill levels (especially those who have never played) are welcome to join Bring plenty of water, shoes you can run in and comfortable clothing that can get a bit dirty. Although we're an established group, newcomers are always welcome. After the game we try to spend some time together and have fun. Finding us: We meet in this big grassy area, it's a short bike ride from the subway stop Rehberge on the U6 or Amrumer Strasse on the U9. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time, so we've got a few methods to help out (don't trust the meetup map pin, it often shows some point in the park, not the exact spot where we are) 1. GPS: 52°32'54.9"N 13°19'51.0"E ; 52.548581, 13.330842 2. Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/xbZgaXzMSMt 3. the helpful picture here https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/8/8/f/highres_451930383.jpeg *This event may also be photographed and/or video-recorded, and published on social media channels such as meetup and eventbrite.* *By participating, you acknowledge and accept the risk of injury while playing Ultimate. Although adherence to the rules, proper equipment, and common sense reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and, you willingly and freely assume all such risks.*

Hei! Sambata, 25 aprilie, punem la cale o nouă întâlnire! Dacă ești nou/ă: ne adunăm cam o dată pe lună la o bere și o poveste, să schimbăm idei și să cunoaștem oameni noi din Berlin. O săptămână faină!

This is a 3 phase meetup. You can come at any time. 1.) 6:45 -7:00 p.m.: Gathering at the meeting spot (see gmaps link!) 2.) 7:00 - 7:30 p.m.: Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court. 3.) 7:30 - 10:00 p.m.: Immerse conversations in the Kerb food court. 🪑: Reserved tables for the meetup. **1.) How to the find Quartier 205 Stadtmitte:** [https://goo.gl/maps/6Fhft3LbPhcEsQrdA](https://goo.gl/maps/6Fhft3LbPhcEsQrdA) The exact meeting spot can be seen in the photo below! We meet on the 1st floor where the trash sculpture can be seen. Look for a meetup sign or organizer wearing a black or red lanyard with "staff" written on it. **2.) Walk & Talk to the Kerb food court** The best part. In order to extend the walk we'll stroll all the way to Brandenburger gate and from there to the former Sony Center where we are going to enter the Kerb foodcourt. **3\. How to find the Kerb food court** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJTQg9oBoGL67syz7) Kerb is located at the former Sony Center. The new flagship food court of Potsdamer Platz. Most likely we will be sitting upstairs on the first floor next to the bar (take the stairs to the left). ***Best ways to get there:*** 1\. U2 \(subway\): Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk around 7 min to Kerb. 2\. Bus M41 or M85 Get off at Potsdamer Platz and walk 5 min to Kerb. *Who is this meetup for:* 1\. Asians who want to practice German and/or English\. 2\. German speaking individuals who are studying \(preferably\) Japanese\, Korean\, Mandarin or Cantonese\. 3\. Anyone who is interested in cultural exchange and wants to socialize\. *What you can expect:* 1\. A professionally organized meetup that can adapt to any changes given the current situation\. 2\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\. *important: This event is held at the same time and meeting location like the "Networking & Language Exchange - 🍖international🍻" one. So I'm basically organizing 2 events at the same time which means that you can expect way more people than on the list.* *** Whenever you attend a meetup, the most common as well as first question you get is: "Where are you from?" You probably heard this question a million times. Well, at least I did. From my own experience of attending over 200 international meetups in various countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and Thailand, I can tell you that asking for the name is a better approach. “A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” - Dale Carnegie If you really want to connect with like-minded people you should remember their name, but you don't have to remember every persons name you've talked you. Be picky about that, don't be me who can somehow remember everyones name easily. Don't tell yourself sth. like "I'm bad at remembering names." It's all about developing the habit of asking for a name and keep the conversation going on. Furthermore, you want to learn German or any other language. Learning the local language is crucial to connect with the locals and developing a true friendship. This can be accomplished with immersion. My goal is to inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and improve yourself each time you join this meetup.

We practice, dance, and enjoy a BYOB bottle of your favorite wine at the Dublin Ballroom off Sawmill, North, and “milonga” is a social event for tango dancing where dancers socialize. A “*practica*” is an informal social event for tango dancing where dancers focus on practicing the dance; while a “*practilonga*” combines the relaxed atmosphere of a “*practica*” with the format of a “milonga.” We are doing it all! ***Cost is $10 payable to the Teacher.*** *Cost is for the cost of the venue and covers some snacks.* We have had fun doing this event in the past. Please arrive promptly as lessons begin at 2pm. Don't worry about bringing a partner as there will be others at the event from outside the group that: a) might have a clue and b) won't step on your toes. The event is BYOB (similar to our Salsa events), so bring your favorite and a wine glass. We will likely find a place for dinner and drinks after the dance.

That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
