\*\*\*\*\*\* ***For address and more details see the website.*** \*\*\*\*\*\* **This time, we’re adding a little Christmas twist to the Pausify routine!** On December 19, our focus section will take a slightly more **interactive** form — alongside the usual calm atmosphere, we will be swapping the cold Berlin evening for food, crafts, music, drinks, games and very good company 🎄✨ Join us for an evening of **Glühwein**, **Christmas snacks**, **great company,** and **live music** by an international artist, meet lovely people & enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. Also, feel free to bring your favourite board games! PS: Prefer to keep it calm? Totally fine. If you’d rather just unwind and enjoy your usual quiet focus time at Pausify, you can do that too. The focus session and discussion round will still follow the same rhythm as usual, with a chance to share what you’ve been reading or working on. 💛 ***AND HOW DOES OUR REGULAR EVENT WORK? =>*** Bring along your **current book to read** (or something **creative** to work on 📚🎨🧵) and join us for this mix of a shared focus time + discussion. \- Meet & greet \- Silent focus time \(60 min\) \- Discussion of books/ projects over drinks **Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️ * **To reserve your place, a ticket (€9,90/event) or a community pass (only €14,90/MONTH) [from the website](www.pausify.org) is required** * **Attendance here doesn’t show all sign-ups from other platforms.** ***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?*** Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*. Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover. See pics from our events below - and on our Instagram: **[@Pausify (Co-Reading Space)](https://www.instagram.com/pausify_org/) ☕️**📚 **[Pausify Co-Reading Space Website](www.pausify.org/)** For questions, please contact us over [Website](www.pausify.org/) as this platform can have issues.

Dieses erste Treffen ist als ungezwungene Begegnung gedacht – ohne Vortrag, ohne Anleitung, ohne festes Programm. Wir treffen uns in einer Weinbar und kommen miteinander ins Gespräch über unsere persönlichen Erfahrungen mit der Lektüre und den Vorträgen von Jiddu Krishnamurti. Im Zentrum stehen nicht Interpretation oder Lehre, sondern das gemeinsame Nachdenken: Was hat uns angesprochen? Was irritiert oder widerspricht uns? Wo bleiben Fragen offen? Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich; entscheidend ist die Bereitschaft zuzuhören und sich ohne Anspruch auf Übereinstimmung auszutauschen. Das Treffen versteht sich ausdrücklich nicht als spirituelle Übungsgruppe oder Diskussionsrunde mit Expertenstatus, sondern als offenes Gespräch unter Interessierten. Ort: Weinbar „Baden im Wein“ Dauer: ca. 1,5–2 Stunden Sprache: Deutsch

**👋 Hello Strangers! —** For all players and chess-curious folks out there who want to chill and make friends: We are hosting a daily chess meetup in Mitte / Prenzlauerberg welcoming all experience levels. It doesn't matter if you just watched the Queen's Gambit or if you have been playing regularly for years – join us Daily from 7pm till midnight. **Pics** · [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/strangerchess/) / **Chat** · [Telegram](https://t.me/strangerchess) / **Web** · [Strangerchess.com](https://strangerchess.com/) (No need to bring anything, boards, clocks, etc. are provided)

The "classic" bookswap is simple: * We meet in a café and put the book(s) we brought down on the tables. * We browse and discuss the books with one another while sipping coffee or hot chocolate, or eating cake. * We write our names down on any books we’d like to take home (post-its and pens provided). * At the end of the evening, negotiate any books that are contended and take a new-to-you book home! Books/happiness shared are books/happiness multiplied! A Bookswap is 10 times better than a Book Club because you can talk about ALL the books instead of just one! This is a great way to give your books a new home and make room for new books: that book you feel guilty for not having read even though it's been sitting on your bedside table for the last 5 years, the book you liked but didn't love, the book you loved so much you want everyone to read it, the book you somehow own three copies of, that book you absolutely hated even though everyone else loves it, and so on. Moreover, you will meet fellow readers, get a new book or two, and several book recommendations. We’ve often had readers experience books they wouldn't normally buy and enjoy it. GROUP EXPECTATIONS for PLEASANT SWAPPING * Please bring a book! It's not that you bring one you take one, but do try your best to bring something. * Books stay on the tables, open for sharing, until you are ready to leave so that everyone can have a look. We are notably not first come first serve. Please wait until you are leaving to bag the book. * If two or more people want the only copy of a book, negotiate. Maybe one of you reads it first and then gives it to the others. Or perhaps they have found another book instead. Or leave it to fate and toss a coin. The best part: now you have found somebody whose taste you can really admire. In any case, please don't walk away with a book with several names on it without letting the others know. These negotiations are fun and easy, so don't shy away from a book because there's already a name on it, and feel free to put your name on as many books as you find interesting. It's not that you bring one you take one; you may take as many as you can negotiate. * Political discussions with consent: make sure the people you are talking to would like to have a political discussion with you. * Please respect this space as first and foremost a community for connecting readers over their love of books and reading, stories, and narratives of all sorts. Please be respectful of tastes and opinions. * If something is bothering you, please reach out to the organisers, and we'll do our best to resolve it. * Lastly, don't expect your book back. It will find a new home. If you love it, let it go. Major LANGUAGES (and genres) of this meetup: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian; Fiction, Non-Fiction, Serious Reading, Light Fun, “classics", Krimis, Booker winners, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Self-Help and more. You never know who can read what languages, and there's no accounting for taste. We are a delightful and international group of readers. We look forward to swapping with you

**For free** \| 21st of December 2025 \| 14:30 – 17:00 **About the Winter Solstice** When we look at the structure of the year we have four important moments over one yearly cycle: two equinoxes – the spring equinox and the autumn equinox – and two solstices – one in the summer and one in the winter. These four moments are related first of all to astronomical events, namely to the manner in which the Earth moves around the Sun and the axis that the Earth has around the sun. Thus, Winter Solstice represents one of these four fundamental points of discontinuity (hiatus) in the yearly solar cycle marking certain stages of the evolution of the human being. At this moment, directly proportional with our openness and superior receptivity, we can be permanently “infused” with sublime, elevated, godly energy, in order to expedite the process of spiritual completion. In the esoteric tradition, this longest night of the year cycle represents a moment of “utmost darkness” (the peak of YIN energies) signifying the spiritual night, which, according to planetary vibrations, plays the mysterious role of a “spiritual window” – the dawn of a new cycle of evolution in our lives, heralding the rising of the light (YANG energies). Traditionally called YULE in the Northern traditions of our planet, the Winter Solstice represents a wonderful occasion to come together and celebrate the time of rebirth of the light – on planetary level and in our lives. **About the event** The program will consist of a general presentation on the significance of the Winter Solstice followed by a meditation to tune in with the subtle sphere of force active in this special time. Optionally, and weather-permitting, we may also be able to enjoy a small bonfire – sitting around the fire like our ancestors used to do :) * Lecture: 14:30 to 15.30 * Meditation: 15:40 to 16:25 – Winter Solstice is at 16:03 CET, so we will meditate around this special moment :) * Sharing and Conclusions: 16:30 to 17:00 **Address** Deutsche Akademie für traditionelles Yoga e. V. MahaYoga Zentrum Brunnenstr. 147 10115 Berlin (Directly at underground station U Bernauer Str. (U8) - elevator exit)

Welcome to our little Saturday weekly meetup — a warm, welcoming spot where coffee, board games and good conversation bring people together. Each week we gather at a local café to laugh, chat, make new friends, and play everything from classics to party-games. We believe a great coffee + good company + a dash of friendly competition can build real friendships and a sense of community. Whether you’re new in town, looking to meet like-minded people, or just want a fun excuse to get out, you’re always welcome — no pressure, no pretence, just good vibes. If you’re after a relaxed space to unwind, connect and roll some dice (or shuffle cards), come join us. You might leave with a handful of new friends — and a full coffee cup.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

It’s time to take control of your mental health. 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. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. 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 aren’t 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, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

Join us for a casual chat over coffee & tea at Grandview Grind! Come out and meet some new people, enjoy your favorite drink, and make some new friends!
