Psychedelic Forest Hike II

Hey psychedelic fans! As the leaves begin to change color, we are once again heading out into the beautiful Grunewald. Join us for our second psychedelic hike through the forest, where you can contemplate the cyclicality of life and the impermanence of all existence — or simply reconnect with nature and your friends from the community. Bring whatever you need for the afternoon: drinks, some snacks to share, something to sit on during the picnic break, and, of course, suitable clothing. Just like last time, we’ll meet at S Grunewald (exit towards Grunewald) at 12:00, with the hike starting around 12:15. We’re aiming to finish at S Nikolassee between 16:00 and 17:00. If you cannot find us, I’ll have a big mushroom attached to my backpack. If you’re running late, just send a message in the event chat. (If the weather is terrible on Saturday, we might postpone the hike to Sunday instead. In that case, we’ll make an announcement in the group.)

Ultimate Frisbee in the Park - late summer edition

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.
