Agile Project Management

Join us for an upcoming in-person Lean Coffee meetup. Lean Coffee is a lightly-structured meeting format where the attendees create the agenda. Bring your management challenges; whether you're managing people, products, processes or beyond, and solve them together with peers from a diverse set of backgrounds. This event is great for anybody trying to create better ways of working and wants to share with + learn from others trying to do the same.

Are you a founder, entrepreneur, freelancer, or job seeker? Or simply someone who wants to stay consistent and motivated? This group is for anyone who believes that starting the week with clear goals and a supportive community makes all the difference. Every Afternoon at 1:00 PM, we’ll gather for breakfast together, share our weekly goals, and check in on each other’s progress. The idea is simple: set intentions, hold each other accountable, and build momentum to kick off the week right. ✨ **What to expect:** * A friendly community of like-minded people who want to grow together * A short check-in and goal-setting session where everyone shares what they’ll focus on for the week * Encouragement, accountability, and support from the group * Small **skill exchange moments** fun mini exercises where we share and learn new skills from each other * Space to **discover what truly excites you** and work towards it together Whether you’re building a business, hunting for your next role, or working on personal projects, this group will help you stay on track and feel supported. Let’s start Mondays with purpose, positivity, and a little inspiration to keep growing together.

**Radical Empathy** host by Neo Seefried guest: Merten Legatz event for **LGBTQIA+** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/radical-empathy/w04-2026)** This workshop series invites participants to explore how queer storytelling can hold, transform, and reimagine conflict – both personal and collective. In an intimate closed group of up to 30, we will create a space where differences are not erased but lived, opening up new ways of being connected. Queer lives are shaped by contradictions – between belonging and exclusion, visibility and erasure, intimacy and alienation. Instead of suppressing them, this series invites us to hold, quarrel with, and even find joy in their friction. **We will ask questions such as:** • How can we live conflicts differently? • What can we learn from one another about responding to tension with more than silence or aggression? • What does queer experience teach us about the joy of irritation, the art of quarreling, the utopias of disagreement? **Practices we’ll explore together:** • Fishbowl-inspired storytelling: one story opens, others weave in. • Embodied listening: holding difference through the body. • Mindfulness & circle practices: slowing down, making space for complexity. • Generative visioning: imagining queer futures shaped not by consensus but by shared vulnerability and empathy. **Event Overview: Upcoming Guests and Dates:** • Sunday, September 21, 2025: Mark Pertuis – Queer Mama • Sunday, October 19, 2025: Mati Klitgard – gayconsentlab • Sunday, November 30, 2025: TBC • Friday, January 23, 2026: Merten Legatz – Lecturer at TU, specializing in queer worldmaking. • Friday, February 13, 2026: Olympia Bukkakis – Drag performers and activists **General information** **Participant**: this workshop series is open to LGBTQIA+ people, with particular encouragement for those holding multiple marginalizations. **Language**: Depending on the group’s needs, sessions will be held in German and/or English. **Cost**: Free of charge, registration required. 🔵 In dieser Workshop-Reihe erforschen die Teilnehmenden, wie queeres Storytelling Konflikte halten, transformieren und neu imaginieren kann – persönlich wie kollektiv. Die Gruppe (max. 30 Personen) schafft einen intimen Raum, in dem Unterschiede nicht geglättet, sondern gelebt werden, und in dem neue Formen von Verbindung erprobt werden. Queere Lebensrealitäten sind von Spannungen geprägt: zwischen Zugehörigkeit und Ausschluss, Sichtbarkeit und Auslöschung, Intimität und Fremdheit. Anstatt diese Widersprüche zu verdrängen, lädt diese Reihe dazu ein, sie zu halten, mit ihnen zu ringen – und Freude an ihrer Reibung zu finden. **Im Fokus stehen Fragen wie:** • Wie können wir Konflikte anders leben? • Was können wir voneinander lernen, um Spannungen mit mehr als Schweigen oder Aggression zu begegnen? • Welche queeren Perspektiven eröffnen Freude am Streit, die Kunst des Aneinanders und Utopien des Nicht-Einigseins? **Praktiken, die wir gemeinsam erproben:** • Storytelling im Fishbowl-Format: eine Geschichte entfaltet sich, andere Stimmen verweben sich. • Verkörpertes Zuhören: Differenz durch den Körper halten. • Achtsamkeits- und Kreispraktiken: Verlangsamung, Raum für Komplexität. • Generative Visionen: queere Zukünfte denken – getragen von Verletzlichkeit und Empathie statt Konsens. **Veranstaltungsübersicht: Kommende Gäste und Termine** • Sonntag, 21. September 2025: Mark Pertuis – Queer Mama • Sonntag, 19. Oktober 2025: Mati Klitgård – gayconsentlab • Sonntag, 30. November 2025: Pansy – Let’s talk about sex and drugs • Freitag, 23. Januar 2026: Olympia Bukkakis – Drag-Performer\*Innen und Aktivist\*Innen • Freitag, 13. Februar 2026: Merten Legatz – Dozent an der TU, spezialisiert auf queer worldmaking. **Hinweise** **Teilnehmende:** Die Reihe richtet sich an queere Menschen (LGBTQIA+). Wir empfehlen insbesondere die Teilnahme von Menschen mit mehrfachen Marginalisierungen. **Sprache:** Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe auf Deutsch und/oder Englisch\*\*.\*\* **Kosten:** kostenlos mit Anmeldung. **Mit Unterstützung der Senatsverwaltung für Inneres und Sport – Landeskommission Berlin gegen Gewalt**

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

**Fuck Normal, I Want Magic** Hi gang, I started this group some time ago, but then didn't have the energetic capacity to make things happen. But, I'm still dreaming and creating a MAGIC life for myself, and I hope you are too. I'd love to kick this group into action with a *Sunday café gathering for dreamers, doers & quiet rebels.* What if you didn’t have to choose between dreaming and doing? This Sunday, we’re gathering in a cozy café for two hours of real connection, honest conversation, and gentle momentum toward the life you actually want. This is a space for people who feel a little (or a lot) allergic to “normal” — and who sense there’s something more they want to create, live, or become… even if it’s not fully clear yet. **What we’ll do:** * Meet & connect with like-minded humans * Share dreams, ideas, and what’s currently alive for you * Take intentional time to *actively work on* your dreams (writing, thinking, mapping, exploring) * Open the floor for reflections, feedback, or support from the group — if you want it There’s no pressure to have it all figured out. You can come curious, messy, inspired, tired, excited — all of you is welcome. **This is for you if:** * You crave deeper conversations than small talk * You have ideas, visions, or longings you want to explore out loud * You want gentle accountability and collective energy * You want magic *and* grounded action **What this is not:** * A networking event * A workshop where someone talks at you * A hustle or productivity push Just humans, coffee, dreams, and a little collective alchemy. Bring a notebook, an open mind, and whatever dream has been quietly nagging you to give it some time. 💫 Free to attend ☕ Café details: 1love4 Ku'damm Coffeeshop Kurfürstendamm 104 10711 Berlin Can’t wait to meet you. p.s. I'm taking steps to launch my own podcast, so this is the dream I'll be working on on Sunday.

We will: \* **Show & Tell:** Share what you are working on (even if it’s broken). \* **Dissect Approaches:** Discuss how to handle context, loops, and hallucinations in production. \* **Hands-on:** Bring your laptop. We try different setups live. The Logistics: 📍 Location: My Office in Grunewald area – Boardroom. 🎟 Capacity: Strictly limited to 6 seats. 🍕 Food/Drinks: Snacks and drinks provided. Who is this for? **Professionals eager to actively shape the future and elevate software engineering through Agentic AI.** We are looking for people ready to co-create the next generation of workflows, not just watch from the sidelines. Since we are a very small group, please only register if you are willing to actively participate in the discussion and hands-on lab work.
