**Let's use the short window of opportunity and have a "Portray and Be Portrayed" session with beautiful cherry blossoms! 🌸** During this event, you'll experience both sides of the lens: being a photographer and a model.

Körpertherapeutisches Seminar (Monatliche offene Gruppe) Beschreibung: 1\. Du möchtest besser verstehen\, wie Körper\, Geist und Seele zusammenwirken? 2\. Du spürst\, dass Emotionen festhängen und eigentlich in Bewegung kommen wollen? 3\. Du wünschst dir mehr Kraft\, Lebendigkeit und ein tieferes Vertrauen in dich selbst? 4\. Oder du möchtest eine neue Perspektive auf deine psychosomatische Beschwerden gewinnen? 5\. Vielleicht bist du auch einfach neugierig auf Körperpsychotherapie und willst sie ganz praktisch erleben\. In dieser offenen Gruppe vermittle ich die Grundlagen der energetischen Körperpsychotherapie. Und zwar im direkten Erleben, "am eigenen Leib" sozusagen. Denn der Verstand weiß schon so viel, aber eine gesunde Verbindung zum Körper ist in unserer Kultur verloren gegangen und wird erst in jüngerer Zeit wiederentdeckt. Die Gruppe findet einmal im Monat statt, die Termine sind unabhängig voneinander buchbar und auf Spendenbasis. Du kannst also genau dann kommen, wenn es für dich passt – ohne Verpflichtung, ohne Vorkenntnisse. Jedes Seminar steht für sich und öffnet einen Raum, in dem du dich selbst besser wahrnehmen, regulieren und ausdrücken kannst. Ich bin Max, Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie, und begleite Menschen körperpsychotherapeutisch im Einzelsetting. Seit vier Jahren leite ich regelmäßig Gruppen-Seminare. Ich selbst war vor ein paar Jahren ständig erkältet, hatte einen Blumenstrauß an psychosomatischen Beschwerden und depressive Phasen. Durch die Körperpsychotherapie habe ich gelernt, meinen Körper wieder als Verbündeten zu erleben. Heute spüre ich früher, wenn etwas aus dem Gleichgewicht gerät – und kenne Wege zurück in die innere Balance. Natürlich kann ich dir keine Wunderheilung versprechen. Was ich anbiete, ist ein klarer, sicherer und strukturierter Rahmen: für dich, für deine Empfindungen, für das, was gehört, gespürt oder bewegt werden will. Vielleicht gehst du nach einem Seminar etwas lebendiger, etwas klarer, etwas verbundener mit dir selbst nach Hause. Bitte schreib mir eine kurze E-Mail an [hallo@maximilianwolf.org](mailto:hallo@maximilianwolf.org) an welchem Termin und mit welcher Motivation du teilnehmen möchtest, damit ich vorab ein Gefühl für die Gruppe bekomme.

**A place to meet sound, without maps** Facilitated by **Vesti Gium (they/them)** Everyone enters as they are. No score. No threshold of skill. We follow the room, moment by moment— listening, nudging, letting the music find itself. A breath, a shoelace, a laugh, a footstep— each carries weight. Silence is welcomed; noise is celebrated. There are no wrong directions here. We practise a listening that reaches outward and inward: to ourselves, to one another, to the space we shape together. That is where the music begins. * 🌀 Bring a voice, an object, an instrument, a movement—or nothing at all. * ✨ **Priority given to FLINTA folks and people with migration background.** * 🎧 No experience needed.

Curious what we do? Check our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmmakersandmovienerds/) ♥️ Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies? **Then you should join us!** We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them. Together, we will talk about these topics: * What you are currently working on * What you need help with * What would you like to help with * What you you would like to learn This is event is great for: * filmmakers * movie nerds * writers * camera operators * editors * actors * sound recorders * composers * gaffers * producers We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*

This time we will be discussing Blood & Sinners by Ryan Coogler Film info: https://m.imdb.com/de/title/tt31193180/ Don't forget to watch the film before joining the meetup :)

**🎬 Screenwriters' Meetup Invitation 🎬** This meetup is for anyone passionate about storytelling—whether you’re a screenwriter, filmmaker, producer, or someone with a great idea looking for the right collaborators. Whether you’re just starting out or deep into your screenplay, this is the perfect space to create, collaborate, and refine your work. **When You Bring Your Screenplay, Think About Three Key Ingredients:** 1. **Your Main Character** – Who are they? What drives them? 2. **The Central Conflict** – What’s at stake? What’s standing in their way? 3. **The Theme** – What’s the deeper idea that motivates you to tell this story? If you’re struggling to find a theme, define your character, or establish a strong conflict—don’t worry. That’s exactly what this meetup is for. We’re here to help you uncover the core of your story and give you the tools to develop it further. Already have an elaborate story? Great! Reflect on these elements: * **Compelling Characters** – Are they layered, dynamic, and memorable? * **Inner Conflicts, Interpersonal Tensions, and Global Stakes** – Does your story operate on multiple levels? * **A Strong, Personal Theme** – Does your theme resonate with you and give your story purpose? If you can identify these elements, we can dive even deeper and give you focused, constructive feedback to help your screenplay reach its full potential. Bring your ideas, your drafts, and your passion. Let’s collaborate, challenge each other, and create stories that matter. We can’t wait to see you there!

In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery.

When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need. Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists.

Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
