Welcome to the mystical world of Tarot. The Tarot has been used since the 16th century as a tool for divination & inner reflection. Yet very few understand the mechanism behind how it works, and how to apply it toward uncovering hidden aspects of the psyche. Through a mix of intellectual discussion and practical exercises, we will dive into the connection between Tarot, Jungian psychology, and our inner worlds- leaving participants with a greater understanding of how to use Tarot as a tool for inner reflection and guidance in their personal lives. Door open at 7:00 pm, event starts at 7:30 pm. We will have light refreshments, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. Tickets are 10 € via pre-registration ([link here](https://rausgegangen.de/en/events/mystery-salon-at-lilium-tarot-jung-the-shadow-0/)) or 15 € at the door. Please note meetup registration is capped at 10 participants- but we have room for more! To secure your spot please pre-register at the link above. We recommend bringing a notebook or journal, and optionally, a deck you'd like to practice with. Whether you are a novice or expert- all levels are welcome- perhaps we can learn something from you? This salon is part of a special event series taking place in the beautiful and intimate setting of Lilium (Pfuelstrasse 5). Every Wednesday in April we gather for intellectual discussion around a range of topics at the intersection of spirituality, science, and self-improvement. The full program: April 8- [Tarot, Jung & the Shadow](https://rausgegangen.de/en/events/mystery-salon-at-lilium-tarot-jung-the-shadow-0/) April 15- Dreamwork: Uncovering the hidden meanings of dreams April 22- Earth, Elements & Sacred Nature April 28th (Tuesday)- Special Edition Ecstatic Dance Event We can't wait to welcome you there!

Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique: **50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat! You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on. I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **Short Intro** Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**) -> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others -> Repeat * **15 mins Wrap Up** Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊 ———— The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!) Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃 You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).

Important information: The event will always take place regardless of how many people attend the meetup. There is always a second laughter yoga conductor (Heidi) and a couple of other regulars who don't use Meetup. Laughter Yoga is a unique concept that combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing to promote wellness and overall happiness. You will learn how to laugh without reason. The event is perfect for anyone looking to de-stress, boost their mood, and connect with others in a light-hearted and fun way. You don't need any yoga experience, just the willingness to laugh. **Do I need special clothing?** * Just wear comfortable clothes. Please bring some thick socks or clean shoes for the room. **Do I need anything else?** * It is essential to stay hydrated. **Please bring some water**. * Comfortable clothes. Thick socks or clean shoes for the room. * An open mind. **Is it free?** * Participation costs 5€. Alternatively, you can use Urban Sports Club. These costs are mainly used to cover rent for the room, meetup fees, website, insurance, flyers, etc. * Link for Urban Sports Club (USC): https://urbansportsclub.com/de/venues/laughter-yoga-club-kreativhaus **What does an event look like?** * We incorporate laughter exercises, breathing exercises, playful exercises, positive affirmations, and dancing. The event ends with a laughter meditation of \~ 15 minutes. **What if I can't laugh?** * Everything is voluntary. If you can't laugh, you can simulate it, and usually, people get into genuine laughter during the sessions. Laughter yoga is a great way to laugh more, to laugh deeper, and more frequently! **How many people show up?** * Usually, the group size is between 7 and 20 people. Regardless how many people sign up via meetup, the event will always take place. Many people don't sign up via meetup. **Where is it?** * It's close to U2 Märkisches Museum. The Kreativhaus Berlin Mitte has one entrance. Please be there 5 minutes before we start. After 7 pm, it might be closed, and you either have to ring the bell or go around the house and watch out for the yellow smiley flag. The session takes place in "Projektraum 2/3". Sessions are either in German or English. We always make sure that everyone understands it. More information you can find here: [www.more-laughter.com](www.more-laughter.com)

Slow Dating for Book Lovers 📖✨ Friday, April 10 · 7 PM · Metis Books & Café A slow dating night for MSM (men who have sex with men) who love books. Gay, bi, queer, trans — if you're a man who's into men and into reading, this is your night. How it works: you arrive, choose a literary pseudonym (an author, a book title…), and the evening unfolds — group icebreakers, one-on-one conversations, pauses to grab a drink or a bite at the café, and plenty of room to just be yourself. No rush. No pressure. Just good conversations, good books, and maybe a good connection.
