**What's On**
**đ 6:00pm:** Registration and Networking
**đ¤ 6:30 pm:** Keynote: *"More Than a Matter of Principle: How design gets us beyond theoretical AI Ethics"* with **[Noah Fraenkel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-fraenkel-4b17ba262/)**, GovTech Consultant at Possible
Drawing on his work at the intersection of government, technology, and public trust, Noah will challenge how we think about AI's role in systems that affect real people's lives.
**đŹ 7:00 pm:** Panel Discussion: The keynote ignites the conversation, the panel takes it forward.
Moderated by **[Wiebke Steffen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/wiebke-steffen/)**, Senior UX Researcher at GetYourGuide, our panelists bring perspectives from across the product spectrum:
**Noah Fraenkel** \- GovTech Consultant @ Possible
**[Ziyong Lin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ziyong-lin-55714b25/)** \- Lead UX Researcher @ GetYourGuide
**[Jake Mongaya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakemongaya/)** \- Engineering Manager @ SumUp
**[Maxim Romanovsky](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxim-romanovsky/)** \- VP \- Head of AI & Product Engineering @ Deutsche Bank
Expect honest takes, productive tension, and the kind of dialogue that actually moves the needle.
**đ¤7:45 pm:** Networking
\* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \*
**Everyone is racing to build with AI. But who is building it responsibly?**
There's a gold rush happening in tech right now and almost everyone is caught up in the excitement. AI features are being shipped at a rapid speed, products are being "enhanced" with machine intelligence overnight, and the pressure to move fast has never been higher.
But in the rush to innovate, some critical questions are getting buried: *Who's accountable when AI gets it wrong? How much should we hand over to automation and what do we silently lose when we do? And what are the risks we're not even seeing yet?*
These aren't hypothetical concerns. They're live, urgent, and sitting inside the products we're building right now.
**It's time to have the conversation that some teams are avoiding.**
UXDX Berlin is back! Join us at the GetYourGuide office in Prenzlauer Berg, where we will tackle the theme that every designer, researcher, and engineer needs to reckon with:
**"Designing Responsible AI: Trust, Autonomy & Hidden Risk"**
**Why This Event Matters**
The tools are powerful. The timelines are short. The consequences for users, for society, for trust in technology are long. If you're building products with AI, this isn't an optional conversation. It's the one you need to be in the room for.
**Come ready to think. Come ready to question. Come ready to build better.**
Thank you [GetYourGuide](https://www.getyourguide.com/) for supporting the event!

Soundness Check Circle | Mental Health Support
Hi, I am Zoe, a software engineer by profession. I have been running this support group since a year đ
What to expect in the circle:

\- On a volunteer basis\, each of the attendee will then get some time to share things that they are dealing with\, perhaps for 2\-5 minutes
\- You can skip sharing even if you are in a circle\, there's no force \(and there will never be\) on you to share\, staying silent and listening is completely ok
\- Attendees can recommend books or reading material if they like
///// âŚ.. ///////
Code of conduct: đ
Please arrive on time.
There are no requirements or expectations of any kind. Speaking is encouraged but not compulsory.
All issues are legitimate and deserve attention. Everyone is entitled to share their experience, including yourself.

Avoid raising your voice, interrupting or talking over anyone else. Be aware of how much youâre participating so everyone gets a chance to speak.

Respect privacy during this dialogue and beyond. What is said during the Meetup is not meant to be repeated outside.
Notify the facilitator if you feel distressed or upset, or if you find someone's behavior inappropriate. Feel free to step out if you need to.

**đł Ăber das Meetup**
Dieses Meetup ist eine gemeinsame Besprechung des Buches. Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darĂźber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es fĂźr Dein Leben hat.
Wir sind unterschiedlich weit im Buch - doch mindestens bis Seite 106 hat jeder gelesen.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben. Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du fĂźr das erste Treffen Ăźberspringen, lies jedoch mindestens 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein GefĂźhl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen).**
.
**Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.**
.
+++++++++++++++++
**đť Mehr zum Inhalt**
Manchmal funktionieren Freundschaften nicht, weil man
* sich nicht Ăśffnen kann,
* zu schĂźchtern ist,
* andere Menschen nicht an sich heran lässt
* klammert
* zu viel will
* wegrennt
* nicht die richtigen Menschen trifft
* schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat
* oder oder oder ...
.
... alte Themen aus der Kindheit holen einen ein.
.
Ebenso stehen Glaubenssätze wie "ich bin nicht gut genug", "ich bin nicht liebenswert", "Ich bin unfähig", "Ich muss mich beweisen", .... und dergleichen guten Freundschaften im Weg.
.
Nicht nur Freundschaften, sondern das ganze Leben, Partnerschaften und Erfolg im Beruf scheinen von diesem alten Mist durchsetzt. Bei dem einen mehr, bei der anderen weniger.
.
Zurzeit lese ich das Buch: **"Befreiung von Scham und Schuld"** von Laurance Heller und Angelika Doerne.
.
In diesem Buch geht es genau darum: Wie prägen schlechte Kindheitserlebnisse und die Beziehung zu unseren Eltern unsere heutigen Beziehungen - nicht nur Freundschaften, auch Partnerschaften und Beziehungen im Beruf.
.
Zur allgemeinen Erleichterung: Nicht nur schlechte GefĂźhle prägen uns, sondern auch die vielen guten GefĂźhle đŚđđťđ¤.
.
Dass Du diese Zeilen lesen kannst, heiĂt, dass sehr viel Gutes in Deinem Leben passiert ist. Juchu!
.
Ich finde dieses Buch sehr gut. Es geht den Prägungen der Kindheit zielgerichtet auf den Grund. Gleichzeitig ist es leicht und locker geschrieben.
.
**Der Stoff ist intensiv. Deshalb gibt es diesen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten.** Vielleicht ist das Buch auf fĂźr Dich interessant? **Dann komm gern dazu!**
.
Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darĂźber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es fĂźr Dein Leben hat.
.
Dabei kĂśnnen wir so offen sein, wie wir mĂśchten. Nichts muss, nur kann.
Wir sprechen auch darßber, wie Du einige dieser Prägungen auflÜsen kannst.
.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben!** Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du fĂźr das erste Treffen Ăźberspringen, lies jedoch mindestens mal 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein GefĂźhl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen). **Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.**
.
**+++++ đ Teilnehmer-Stimmen**
.
"Der Austausch hat mir geholfen, meine Gedanken zum Buch in richtig gute Bahnen zu bringen. Das hatte Tiefe. Ăber sowas miteinander zu sprechen, hilft mir richtig viel, um mich und andere zu verstehen."
.
"Jede meiner Empfindungen, KÜrperreaktionen, Gefßhle und Gedanken ist ja nur davon geprägt, wie ich aufgewachsen bin. Das habe ich mit dem Buch verstanden. Danke, dass Du den Raum bietest, dass wir uns darßber unterhalten kÜnnen."
.
"Ein Buch mit einer solchen Tragweite lese lieber mit anderen zusammen. AuĂerdem bleibe ich dann wirklich dran."
**+++++đˇ Hintergrund**
**đąđ˝ââď¸ Zu mir: Ich bin Georg Preller.**
Seit 4 Jahren betreibe ich die Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de). Ich bin ausgebildeter NLP Lehrtrainer ([DVNLP](https://www.dvnlp.de/)) & Coach.
Ich gebe Workshops Ăźber Freundschaft & schreibe ein Buch Ăźber Freundschaft.
Mir ist es wichtig, dass Menschen gute & glĂźckliche Freundschaften fĂźhren und damit ein friedliches & glĂźckliches Leben fĂźhren.
.
Auf meiner Websiete findest Du viele Tipps, wie man gute Freundschaften anbahnt.
.
Zurzeit erforsche ich tiefe Themen der Psychologie. Ich will wissen, wie alte Prägungen uns im Wege stehen, die richtigen Freundschaften zu knßpfen. **Dieses Buch ist Teil dieser Forschung; ich glaube, dass es Dir sehr nßtzlich sein kann.**

Cuddling as Collective Care â all genders
**Cuddling as Collective Care â all genders**
for **LGBTQIA+**
**[Book a Ticket](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/regenerative-touch/w11-2026)**
**Member: 15 âŹ**
**Regular: 30 âŹ**
This Cuddle Puddle offers a safe, consent-based space for people of all genders within the LGBTQIA+ community to experience non-sexual touch, communal connection and rest. Guided exercises support emotional wellbeing, boundaries, and self-awareness.
**Cuddle Puddles** are structured, guided spaces where people can experience the benefits of non-sexual touch â such as reduced stress, nervous system regulation, and a deeper sense of belonging. Touch, when consensual and caring, can support emotional resilience and mental health.
This **Cuddle Puddle** is open to all genders within the LGBTQIA+ community, creating a space where diverse identities can meet beyond gendered expectations. A non-gender-restricted setting allows for broader empathy, mutual understanding, and connection, while honoring individual boundaries, choice, and safety at all times.
**General Information**
⢠This format is for all queer people (LGBTQIA+) interested in experiencing touch in a safe(r) setting.
⢠This is a clothes-on format.
⢠Bring a sheet and towel to cover cushions, mats, or massage tables.
⢠This event will be in English
⢠This event is also available at a reduced member price â but not part of the three-free-monthly-events benefit.
⢠Concession tickets upon written request to **[events@wearevillage.org](mailto:events@wearevillage.org)**
**Kuscheln als kollektive FĂźrsorge â Alle Geschlechter**
fĂźr **LGBTQIA+**
**[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/regenerative-touch/w11-2026)**
**Mitglied: 15 âŹ**
**Regulärer Preis: 30 âŹ**
Dieser Cuddle Puddle bietet einen sicheren, einvernehmlichen Raum fßr Menschen aller Geschlechter aus der LGBTQIA+ Community, um nicht-sexuelle Nähe, gemeinschaftliche Verbindung und Entspannung zu erleben. Die angeleitete Erfahrung stärkt emotionales Wohlbefinden, KÜrperwahrnehmung und klare Grenzen.
**Cuddle Puddles** sind angeleitete Räume fßr bewusste, nicht-sexuelle Berßhrung, die Stress reduzieren, das Nervensystem regulieren und das Gefßhl von ZugehÜrigkeit stärken kÜnnen. Konsensuelle Nähe unterstßtzt emotionale Stabilität und psychische Gesundheit.
Diese Cuddle Puddle ist fßr alle Geschlechter innerhalb der LGBTQIA+ Community geÜffnet. Ein nicht-geschlechtergetrennter Raum ermÜglicht vielfältige Begegnungen jenseits von Rollenbildern und Erwartungen. So entsteht ein Feld fßr mehr Empathie, gegenseitiges Verständnis und authentische Verbindung, immer auf Basis von Wahlfreiheit, klaren Grenzen und gegenseitigem Respekt
**Was ist Regenerative BerĂźhrung?**
Regenerative Touch ist ein monatlicher Workshop fßr Queer People, bei dem wir uns gegenseitig helfen, langsamer zu werden, in unseren KÜrper zu kommen und in einer unterstßtzenden und nährenden Umgebung die wohltuende Wirkung von regenerativer Berßhrung erkunden. Berßhrung, die im täglichen Leben oft ßbersehen wird, ist ein grundlegendes menschliches Bedßrfnis.
In diesen Workshops schaffen wir einen Raum, der ausschlieĂlich ihrer regenerativen und heilenden Kraft gewidmet ist, frei von romantischen oder sexuellen Konnotationen.
BerĂźhrung kommuniziert direkt und erreicht Orte, die Worte nicht erreichen kĂśnnen. Hast du jemals die beruhigende Wirkung einer warmen Umarmung oder einer trĂśstenden Hand auf deiner Schulter erlebt? Selbst ein kurzes 15-minĂźtiges Handhalten kann zu einer signifikanten Senkung der Herzfrequenz und des Blutdrucks fĂźhren und eine starke Entspannungsreaktion signalisieren. Eine einfache 20-sekĂźndige Umarmung kann zu hĂśheren Oxytocinspiegeln fĂźhren, dem Hormon, das mit Bindung und Vertrauen verbunden ist.
Jeden Monat wird unser trauma-sensitiver Moderator den Abend um Themen wie Präsenz, Regulierung des Nervensystems und emotionale Sicherheit gestalten und sich auf praktisches Erleben anstatt auf zu viele Worte oder Techniken konzentrieren. Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse in KĂśrperarbeit erforderlich â bring einfach deine Neugier mit.
**Vorteile**
â Erfahre eine Verringerung von Angstzuständen und Depressionen sowie eine erhĂśhte emotionale Widerstandsfähigkeit durch beruhigende, achtsame BerĂźhrung.
â Kultiviere wertschätzende Anwesenheit und tiefere Verbindungen zu dir selbst und anderen.
â UnterstĂźtze die Heilung von Traumata und setze in einer sicheren, nährenden Umgebung Emotionen frei.
â Verbessere deine Stimmung und deine Immunfunktion, indem du Stress reduzierst und Endorphine freisetzt.
â FĂśrdere ein GefĂźhl von Gemeinschaft und ZugehĂśrigkeit durch gemeinsame, nonverbale Erfahrungen.
â Ermutige tieferes MitgefĂźhl und Akzeptanz durch sanften, unterstĂźtzenden Kontakt.

RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.
In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you arenât aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, youâll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

A gathering to share, swap, and connect with like-minded people who care about plant-based living, sustainability, and mindful choices.

Swap for something new-to-you from others. *The more you bring, the more there is to exchange!*
