**Life Drawing with Watercolour** Join us for a relaxed and creative life drawing session at Two Fellas Bar. On **Saturday, 18.04 from 17:00 to 19:00**, we’ll explore the human body through watercolour in a playful and expressive way. Working with both **short dynamic poses** and **longer, more detailed studies**, this session invites you to loosen up, observe, and experiment. We’ll focus on techniques such as **quick gesture sketches**, **wet-on-wet washes**, **layering**, and **expressive brush strokes** to capture movement, form, and atmosphere rather than perfect detail. Expect fast lines, flowing colour, and the freedom to interpret the figure in your own style. Open to all levels — whether you’re a beginner or experienced, it’s all about enjoying the process and discovering new ways of seeing. Please bring your own materials (watercolour paper, sketchbook or paper and brushes). **Details** * When: Saturday, **18.04** from 5 PM to 7 PM. * Cost: €10 for the model. * Location: Two Fellas Bar: Mühlenstr. 30, 13187 Berlin. * Sign up: Please send us an email to hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com. Can't wait to share a beautiful afternoon of painting, drinking and exploring art together! *Don’t forget to invite your friends!* Lu, and the BAC.

### **Turn Your Experiences Into Stories People Remember – Storytelling Workshop (Hamburg)** ***You don’t need better words. You need better stories.*** We all have experiences, insights, and ideas—but often, they don’t land the way we want them to. In conversations, at work, or in front of a group, what makes people listen, remember, and trust you isn’t just ***what*** you say. It’s ***how*** you tell it. This workshop will teach you how to take ordinary moments from your life and turn them into stories that connect, resonate, and stay with people. *** In this full-day, small-group workshop (max. 8 participants), you’ll be guided step by step to shape a real-life experience into a compelling short story. You’ll leave not only with a story—but with tools you can use again and again. Storytelling is not a talent. It’s a skill—and one you can learn. *** ### What you’ll get: * A simple structure for storytelling * Practice speaking in a supportive environment * Feedback to improve clarity and confidence * A personal story you can actually tell *** ### Who it’s for: * People who want to express themselves more clearly and confidently * Professionals who want to communicate with more impact * Anyone interested in storytelling or personal growth (No experience needed. Workshop held in English.) *** ### Details: 📍 Hamburg 🗓 April 18, 2026 ⏰ 10:00–17:00 👥 Max. 8 participants *** More info & registration: [https://www.thebear-storytelling.de/events/2026/04/18/find-craft-tell-your-story-hamburg](https://www.thebear-storytelling.de/events/2026/04/18/find-craft-tell-your-story-hamburg)

Who is in the mood for some quiet togetherness while catching up on their reading the week after Easter? Let’s enjoy literature or non-fiction together and come to our Reading in Companionable Silence meeting on Saturday. Nathania will welcome members and there is time to socialize and to order some food or a beverage - ca. 30 min. Then we read for an hour in silence. After that - time to exchange impressions, suggestions, ask questions and generally have a good time. There might be a break in the middle in order to allow for more drinks, a bathroom break etc.

RSVP on Luma: [https://luma.com/pa24sd60?utm_source=Meetup](https://luma.com/pa24sd60?utm_source=Meetup) Silent Reading / Creating Club is a gathering for people who enjoy focusing together in public. Bring a book, a notebook, a sketchpad, knitting needles, whatever you’d like to spend a quiet hour doing. All projects and all participants are welcome. We’re building a community of readers and creators who value depth, presence, and shared silence. The reading and creating isn't the real highlight, though, it’s in the people who return and make it feel like a familiar room. (Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.) Our Meeting Point is the **W66 Café**. There’s no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the café and don’t bring outside food or drinks 🙂 No assignments, expectations, or pressure. Just a shared hour of intentional silence, followed by the opportunity for good conversation. 🕰 Our Agenda **10:30 – 11:00** Arrivals, ordering drinks/food, light social time **11:00 – 12:00** The Great Quiet Hour (Read. Write. Sketch. Code. Think. Sit.) **12:00 – 12:30** Optional socializing: share what you were reading or creating, or simply continue in quiet focus. ## 🏡 House Guidelines To keep this space calm and welcoming for everyone: • Silence during the focus hour (no calls or conversations) • Put cellphones on silent mode • If using technology, please avoid meetings or audio (headphones please!) • Arrive before 11:00 if possible to minimize disruptions

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

Let's read together on another Sunday morning. Agenda: 10:30-11:00 Arrival, ordering drinks, getting to know each other 11:00-12:00 Reading together 12:00-13:00 Share reading experience There is no books assigned. Just bring whatever you are reading for now. Please sign up only when you can join the event. Hope you will enjoy it there!

(Inside event) Are you learning a language but can't find people to practice with? Do you enjoy helping people speak your native language? If so, meet with us to make friends and have some good conversations. We begin by sharing the languages we speak fluently and the ones we are learning. Then we split into groups and speak! You can switch groups as often as you'd like. The goal is to speak about interesting, thought-provoking topics - not just the typical introductions we usually make. At our last meetups we spoke: German, Ukranian, English, French, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Turkish, Polish, Swedish, Arabic, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Dutch. Can you help us make this list bigger? We hope to see you there and welcome ANY and ALL languages. (However, we cannot guarantee we will have a speaking partner for all languages). Looking forward to see you all! 😁

Wachstum, Entfaltung des eigenen Potentials, Selbstverwirklichung (oder im Englischen Self-Actualization) sind Wörter, die für viele Menschen eine wichtige Rolle spielen, ja man könnte sagen, dass sich mit ihnen Glaubensvorstellungen verbinden, die einer Religion ähneln. Wo aber gehört der Begriff Selbstverwirklichung hin? Zu Psychologie, Biologie, Philosophie, Religion, zum Coaching oder auf die Müllhalde der Geistesgeschichte? Obwohl schon Aristoteles über die Entelechie (das Innehaben des Ziels) sprach, wurde der moderne Begriff erst im 20. Jahrhundert wissenschaftlich geformt. Der Neurologe Kurt Goldstein prägte den Begriff in seinem Werk „Der Aufbau des Organismus“. Er betrachtete Selbstverwirklichung als einen biologischen Drang, als Triebkraft eines Organismus, all seine Kapazitäten auszuschöpfen. Ein Organismus strebt danach, seine Integrität zu wahren und sein Potenzial in der Umwelt zu entfalten. Abraham Maslow ist der Name, den die meisten heute mit dem Begriff verbinden. In seinem Aufsatz „A Theory of Human Motivation“ stellte er die berühmte Bedürfnishierarchie vor. Selbstverwirklichung steht an der Spitze der Pyramide. Er definierte es als das Verlangen, immer mehr das zu werden, was man ist, und alles zu werden, wozu man fähig ist. Im Gegensatz zu Goldstein sah Maslow es als ein "Wachstumsbedürfnis", das erst richtig aktiv wird, wenn Defizitbedürfnisse (wie Hunger oder Sicherheit) gestillt sind. Der Psychotherapeut Carl Rogers integrierte das Konzept in seine klientenzentrierte Gesprächspsychotherapie. Er glaubte, dass jeder Mensch eine innere Tendenz hat, sich selbst zu erhalten und zu fördern. Psychische Probleme entstehen laut Rogers dann, wenn diese Entfaltung durch äußere Bedingungen (z.B. mangelnde Akzeptanz) blockiert wird. Maslow und Rogers gelten als Gründerfiguren der so genannten humanistischen Psychologie, die sich weniger an Defiziten als an positiven Möglichkeiten orientieren wollte. In der Psychologie wurde darüber debattiert, ob die Thesen der humanistischen Psychologie wissenschaftlich prüfbar sind. Kann man Selbstverwirklichung wirklich messen? Was "volles Potenzial" bedeutet, ist subjektiv. Für den einen ist es das Malen von Meisterwerken, für den anderen die Erziehung von Kindern. Kritiker werfen dem Konzept vor, sehr westlich und individualistisch geprägt zu sein. In kollektivistischen Kulturen wird "Selbstverwirklichung" oft durch den Beitrag zur Gemeinschaft definiert, nicht durch die eigene Entfaltung. Die humanistische Psychologie verschwand zusammen mit ihren Therapien aus den Universitäten und Ausbildungsstellen. Die so genannte Positive Psychologie versucht, das Erbe anzutreten. Moderne Forscher dieser Richtung haben das Konzept in messbare Faktoren zerlegt: Autonomie, Kompetenz und soziale Eingebundenheit. Diese drei Faktoren sind empirisch extrem gut belegt und gelten als moderne, wissenschaftliche Entsprechung der Selbstverwirklichung. Was aber wird aus der Idee, dass wir ein Potential in uns tragen, dass es zu entfalten gilt? Ist das – wenigstens als Glaubensvorstellung oder Orientierung - noch sinnvoll?

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings. Find us on our [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EKw86WJCp/?mibextid=wwXIfr).

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B Join us for a welcoming evening of reflection, gentle music, and meaningful conversation.
