In diesem Workshop wagen wir uns an das vielschichtige Themengebiet *Liebe und Beziehungen* heran. Menschen sind Beziehungswesen: Zugehörigkeit, Verbundenheit, Nähe, Sexualität, Sicherheit und Geborgenheit zählen zu unseren Grundbedürfnissen. Für die meisten von uns ist eine erfüllte Partnerschaft eines der erstrebenswertesten Ziele im Leben. Wenn wir uns jedoch in der Gesellschaft und in unserem persönlichen Umfeld umsehen, scheint es, als wären wir kaum imstande, gesunde Beziehungen zu führen. Der Großteil von uns hat bereits mehrere Beziehungen hinter sich. Oft können wir nicht einmal klar benennen, woran sie gescheitert sind. Anhand der Erfahrungen, Beobachtungen und Interessen aller Teilnehmenden nähern wir uns den Fragen, die uns immer wieder bewegen. Wir erforschen, * was eine erfüllte Beziehung für jede:n bedeutet * was wir brauchen, um gelingende Beziehungen zu führen, * was uns dabei - persönlich und gesellschaftlich - im Weg steht, * und vor allem, wie wir daran arbeiten können. Wir forschen gemeinsam mithilfe des [re:nature® Kompasses](https://umainstitut.net/ueber-uns/renature-ansatz/). Dieses Lebensrad hilft uns dabei, komplexen Themen wie unseren Liebesbeziehungen eine Struktur zu geben. Angelehnt an die jahreszeitlichen Zyklen der Natur (Frühling - Sommer - Herbst - Winter) sind schließlich auch Beziehungen diesen Zyklen unterworfen: Verliebtheit - Commitment - Krisenzeiten - Trennung oder Neuausrichtung. Unser theoretisches Erforschen verbinden wir mit Übungen zur bewussten Körperwahrnehmung sowie mit kreativen Aufstellungen. Denn unser Ziel ist es, aus dem Erleben heraus neue Erfahrungen und Inspiration in die eigenen Beziehungen hinein zu tragen. Wir, Susanne und Ben, geben diesem Forschungsraum eine Richtung und einen Rahmen. Was dazwischen passiert, hängt von den Beiträgen der Teilnehmer:innen sowie der sich ergebenden Gruppendynamik ab. Persönliche Erfahrungen, drängende Fragen, Impulse und Ideen sind ausdrücklich erwünscht und sehr willkommen! Der Workshop ist offen für alle: ein inklusiver Raum für Menschen aller Geschlechtsidentitäten und sexuellen Orientierungen. Die Teilnahme erfolgt auf Spendenbasis. Bitte melde dich (zusätzlich) per Email an: [kontakt@benjaminpontius.de](mailto:kontakt@benjaminpontius.de)

**[😊Scenes from our last kitchen gathering](https://www.instagram.com/vegan_chick_mskmtur/) 🌸** **Calling all tempeh lovers!** we’ll explore its incredible variety and transform it into creative vegan dishes together. **Please bring 1 of your favorite tempeh + 1 vegetable of your choice.** You may have noticed that Berlin now offers a wide variety of commercial tempeh made from different beans and pulses (soy, chickpeas, lentils, black beans, and more). Feel free to bring the one you’re curious about—or already love—and want to explore in cooking🔥 🥕 **What we’ll do:** **This is not a potluck.** **Each participant brings ingredients.** **and together we’ll cook**, taste, and build a shared meal.

As we are cooking collaboratively, exact dishes cannot be confirmed in advance. *** 📍 **Meeting Point** Levetzowstr. 13 (EG), 10555 Berlin – Moabit (Accessible via S-Tiergarten, U9 Hansaplatz, or U9 Turmstraße) *** ✨ **What to expect:** • Creative vegan cooking with tempeh (NOT tempeh-making) • Hands-on, collaborative kitchen experience • A cozy shared meal and good conversation ### 💚 About the Host Hi! I’m Misaki — a certified vegan/plant-based nutritionist. I teach simple and healthy vegan cooking and help people balance their diet. However, this event is not a cooking class. Instead, we’ll explore the versatility of different tempeh varieties through improvisation and shared creativity. Looking forward to cooking and sharing this experience with you! **This event is limited to 6 people and hosted in my private kitchen.** ***

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
