Leadership

A small NEXUS gathering built around movement rather than discussion alone. This is for high-bandwidth Mavericks who spend most of their time in conceptual thought and need some physical counterweight. Why bouldering? Because it’s deliberate: short problems, full focus, and immediate feedback. You’re on the wall, solving something tangible. The mental noise drops instantly! Conversations happen naturally in between climbs. No pressure, you move at your own pace. Some exchanges stay light. Others go deep. Both are fine. This is not about athletic achievement. It’s about presence, recalibration, and being around people who don’t require you to shrink or translate yourself. Come as you are. Try some bouldering problems. Rest when needed, and engage where it makes sense. **Bring comfortable clothes and climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available at the gym).** *Registration equals commitment. If you sign up, you show up. Read the group description first and decide consciously. For context about NEXUS, visit our* ***[website](https://thenexusformula.com)*** *and* ***[newsletter](https://news.thenexusformula.com)****.*

I will share a pragmatic view on how to up-level your personal productivity as a software engineer and how to rebuild your team processes to become AI first. I will share the story of how I abandoned text editors forever in favour of Claude Code. I’ll also share how Superhuman uses AI for every step of the software development process, including code reviews, infrastructure migrations, feature development, and production monitoring. We will discuss the challenges of organizational transformation and how to avoid cargo-culting AI adoption and AI slop in your production systems. **Facts about the speaker**: * ​I have been with Grammarly, now part of Superhuman, for 8.5 years. * ​Over the years, I have worked on product features development, platforms and infrastructure, and developer experience, both as a contributing engineer and a technical lead. * ​Last year, I was one of the trailblazers of AI coding adoption at Superhuman, working on the AI coding harness, adoption, and learning among engineers and on autonomous coding agents * ​I haven’t written a line of code manually since May 2025. * ​I have been with Grammarly, now part of Superhuman, for 8.5 years. ​**💥 Who should attend?** * ​Software engineers who want to learn how to use AI Coding Agents * ​Technical leaders who want to boost their team's productivity by introducing an AI-First approach **Agenda:** ✨ 18:00–18:30: Check-in and networking ✨ 18:30–19:30: Talk ✨ 19:30–20:30: Mingle with our team

[*Registration form required below*] **Interested in Japanese sword fighting or Japanese culture? Come join a trial and experience the traditional Samurai art at Katori Shintō-ryū in Schöneberg.** **Trial Fee**: **25€**/ session (2hr). Classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 19:00 to 21:00. **!!SIGN UP HERE**: [Katori Shinto-ryū Berlin Sign-up (google.com)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBt4A13VgnEcgQQ2PDaruthmYMRWineG4KtUCKsuC9KBsCUQ/viewform) Registration is required before your participation so that we can prepare enough training equipment. **Address**: Belziger Str. 25, 10823 Berlin. **No previous experience required!** The classes are in English and German. **Our website**: [Kenjutsu Berlin - Official school of Katori Shinto-ryu in Berlin (katoriberlin.org)](https://katoriberlin.org/) **Katori Shintō-ryū** is one of the oldest Japanese sword fighting traditions (koryū) still practised today and is recognized by the Japanese government as a cultural intangeable asset. The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

**💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)** **Du möchtest Deine Freundschaften, Partnerschaft & Arbeitsbeziehungen verbessern? Dieser Worskhop kann ein großer Schritt dazu sein.** Beziehungs- und Bindungstypen sind ein weit verbreitetes Modell, um typisches Verhalten in verschiedensten Beziehungen erklären. Warum klammert jemand? Warum Drama? Warum Rückzug? Warum Kälte? Warum Unsicherheit, Nervosität und Ärger? --- und wie sieht eine sichere & gute Beziehung aus (und fühlt sich an). Die Annahme: Ereignisse der frühen Kindheit & der Erziehungsstil unserer Eltern prägen, wie wir als Erwachsene unsere Partnerschaften, Freundschaften & Arbeitsbeziehungen leben. Für manche gut. Für manche weniger gut. Ich setze mich mit den Beziehungstypen auseinander, weil ich glaube, dass sie einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Gestaltung von Freundschaften haben (und auf Liebesbeziehungen sowie menschliche Beziehungen jeglicher Art). Dabei habe ich entdeckt, dass ich oft einen vermeidenen Beziehungsstil habe - ich weiche lieber aus, trenne mich oder spreche Probleme nicht an, weil ich wahrscheinlich in meiner Kindheit aus unterschiedlichen Ereignissen gelernt habe... dass bringt eh nichts, ich kann anderen nicht vertrauen, das macht man nicht, meine Bedürfnisse sind nicht wichtig, usw. In der Auseinandersetzung mit den Beziehungs- / Bindungstypen habe ich bemerkt, wie gut es mit tut, mit anderen mich darüber auszutauschen. Weil: * Ich bin nicht allein. * Ich lernen die Gefühle anderer kennen * Ich entwickle ein gutes Gefühl für die anderen Beziehungsstile (nicht nur meinen) * Ich löse das Thema für mich Schritt für Schritt - und werde immer sicher in meinen Bindungen & Beziehungen. In eine Workshop-Beschreibung zu schreiben, dass ich mich oft beim vermeidenden Beziehungsstil entdecke... ist kein Vermeiderverhalten mehr 😊. Halleluja! . **🎁 Das kannst erwarten** Ich lade Dich zu diesem Workshop ein, damit Du einen weiteren Schritt Richtung mehr Leichtigkeit & Ehrlichkeit in Beziehung gehen kannst. Ich werde eine kleine Einführung zu den Bindungsstilen geben - und dann steht der Austausch miteinander im Mittelpunkt: * Was sind Situationen, die mich triggern? * Wie geht es mir dann? * Wie reguliere ich mein Nervensystem? Meine Erfahrung ist: Austausch & Offenheit hilft, mit sich selbst und anderen relaxter zu werden. . Ein Link oder ein Buch zur Vorbereitung findest Du weiter unten. Es wäre gut, wenn Du eines von beiden bereits gelesen hättest oder von anderer Seite Vorwissen zu den Bindungstypen / Beziehungstypen hast. . . **⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:15 Uhr. Komm am besten schon 18.15 Uhr** Mantel aufhängen, Toilette, eine Runde schwatzen und los ... . **❓ Darf ein zweites Mal kommen?** Ja, sehr gern. Ich halte es sogar für sinnvoll, mehrfahr zu kommen, wenn Dir der Workshop gefallen hat: Das Thema vertiefen, die eigenen Beobachtungen aus den letzten Wochen verarbeiten und sich mit neuen & alten Bekannten über das Thema weiter austauschen. 💬 **Agenda** 18:15 Uhr - Doors Open & Ankommen 18:30 Uhr - Start des Workshops * Einführung, Vorstellung * Kleines Kennenlernen * Einführung in das Thema durch mich * Verständnisfragen * Verschiedene Austauschrunden mit Vertiefungsfragen (der größte zeitliche Anteil) * Offene Fragen 21:30 Uhr - Ende . Zwischendurch machen wir eine kleine Pause. . Tausche Dich mit Gleichgesinnten über ein wesentliches Thema Deines Lebens aus. Du kannst immer wählen, mit wem Du Dich in welcher Tiefe unterhalten möchtest. Dein Gegenüber natürlich auch :). Nein heißt nein, Ja heißt Ja 🤗 . **🏠 Der Veranstaltungsraum** * Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Kieztreff in Berlin Mitte (mit sauberen Toiletten!). * nähe Hackescher Markt. Sehr gut mit den Öffis zu erreichen. * Wenn Du vor Ort ankommst, ist alles ausgeschildert. . **🎒 Das bringst Du mit ...** * Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!) * Wenn Du magst: Zettel und Stift. * Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben * Bargeld für den Wertschätzungsbeitrag (10-20 Euro) . 📋 **Kann ich mich vorbereiten?** Ja! Vielen Menschen sind die Beziehungstypen bekannt. Wenn Du etwas Grundwissen hast, ist das sehr nützlich für den Workshop. Ansonsten empfehle ich diesen Link zu lesen: Link: [Welcher Beziehungstyp bin ich?](https://chrisbloom.de/blog/welcher-beziehungstyp-bin-ich-mit-test/) Dieses Buch ist eine sehr gute Einführung in den Workshop. Der Workshop wird sich daran orientieren: * **[Buch: Warum wir uns immer in den falschen verlieben](https://amzn.to/498A9js) (Werbung, Amazon-Link)** [Werbung: Als Amazon-Partner verdiene ich an qualifizierten Verkäufen.] Das Buch orientiert sich an Liebesbeziehungen, die Erkenntnisse sind meiner Meinung nach aber auf alle menschliche Beziehungen anwendbar. 🚫 **Was ist der Workshop nicht:** Der Workshop ist kein therapeutisches Angebot. Dafür bin ich nicht ausgebildet (bisher noch nicht mal im Selbststudium). Wenn Du aufgrund der Erkenntnisse beim Lesen des Buches, der Links oder der Gespräche auf dem Workshop zum Ergebnis kommst, dass eine Therapie für Dich sinnvoll sein kann, dann wäre das ein richtig guter Schritt. . 💫 **Warum der Workshop gut für Dich ist** * Ich glaube: Niemand ist perfekt. (und gleichzeitig deshalb genau richtig 🙂) * Ich glaube, dass jeder in wenigstens minimaler Form manchmal Arten von unsicheren Bindungsverhalten zeigt * Gleichzeitig wird jeder im Leben mit Menschen zu tun haben, die ein unsicheres Bindungsverhalten zeigen. . Mit sich selbst und anderen reflektiert umgehen zu können, finde ich eine zentrale Fähigkeit im Leben. . Ich finde, dass gute menschliche Beziehungen sind der zentrale Schlüssel zu einem erfüllten Leben sind (das finden laut Jacobsstudie übrigens 85 Prozent der Menschen in Deutschland). . Die Bindungstypen / Bindungsverhalten sind meiner Meinung nach ein zentrales Modell, um gute menschliche Beziehungen führen zu können. . 🧑🏼 **Mehr über mich:** Ich forsche seit 5 Jahren zu guten Freundschaften, wie man diese aufbaut und vertieft.

Liebe Freunde des gesprochenen Wortes, Ob es darum geht, ein Meeting zu leiten oder im Familienkreis einen Toast auszusprechen – diese Situation vor Menschen zu stehen und etwas zu vermitteln kennt so gut wie jeder. Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern. **Was macht unseren Club besonders?** Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen. **Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?** Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht. Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen! Hier findest du die genaue Wegbeschreibung: www.mut-und-rede.de/kontakt#anfahrt Um besser planen zu können freuen wir uns über vorherige Anmeldung: https://www.mut-und-rede.de Es findet grundsätzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

**TIN\* Embodied Practices** mit Lux für **TIN\* (trans\*, inter\*, nicht-binäre, agender und genderqueere Personen)\*** Kostenlos mit **[Anmeldung ](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/tin-embodied-practices/w06-2026)** **Ein somatischer Bewegungsraum für TIN\*-Körper (trans\*, inter\*, nicht-binäre, agender und genderqueere Personen)**. Inspiriert von Body-Mind Centering®, der Atemarbeit nach Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement und Feldenkrais verbinden die Sessions angeleitete Bewegung, Berührung, Improvisation und Reflexion. Auf Basis von Konsens, Autonomie und Care stärkt die Praxis Körperwahrnehmung, Selbstbestimmung und Resilienz in einer unterstützenden Gemeinschaft. Ein bewegungsbasierter Raum zur Selbstentfaltung, der sich TIN\*-Körpern (Trans\*, Inter\*, Nicht-binär, einschließlich agender und genderqueer Identitäten) und den Lebenserfahrungen von Menschen widmet, die sich außerhalb traditioneller Cisgender-Definitionen identifizieren. Diese Praxis ist inspiriert von der Erfahrungsanatomie von Body-Mind Centering®, der Atemarbeit von Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement, Feldenkrais und anderen somatischen Bewegungsansätzen. Berührung, praktische und partnerschaftliche Arbeit, Tanzimprovisationswerkzeuge und kollektive Reflexion werden zu einem integrierten somatischen Bewegungsrahmen verwoben, der auf Zustimmung, Autonomie und Fürsorge basiert. Die Absicht dieses Raums ist es, die Entwicklung von Selbstvertrauen und Resilienz in unserer Körperlichkeit als TIN\*-Menschen zu unterstützen, die körperliche Autonomie zu fördern und Berührungskompetenz innerhalb einer unterstützenden und bewussten Gemeinschaft zu entwickeln. Jede Sitzung beginnt mit einer geführten somatischen Bewegungsübung, die sich auf die Entwicklung anatomischer Werkzeuge zur Selbstbeobachtung konzentriert. Wir arbeiten mit den fünf Hauptlinien (Arme, Beine, Wirbelsäule), den vier Ecken des Rumpfes (Schultern und Hüften), den drei Hauptgewichtspunkten (Kopf, Brustkorb, Becken) und den beiden Seiten des Körpers. Diese Prinzipien unterstützen die Teilnehmer dabei, sich innerhalb ihrer eigenen körperlichen Architektur zu orientieren und ein verkörpertes Bewusstsein zu entwickeln. Auf dieser Grundlage erweitert sich die Praxis zu gemeinschaftlichen Bewegungen und gemeinsamer räumlicher Gestaltung, einschließlich Zeit für Integration und Reflexion. Bewegung wird als relationale, politische und räumliche Praxis an sich betrachtet. 🔵 **TIN\* Embodied Practices** with Lux for **TIN\* (Trans\*, Inter\*, Non-binary, agender and genderqueer people)** Free **[Registration Required](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/tin-embodied-practices/w16-2026/)** Drawing from Body-Mind Centering®, breathwork after Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement and Feldenkrais, the sessions combine guided movement, touch-based exploration, improvisation and reflection. Grounded in consent, autonomy and care, the practice supports embodied awareness, bodily autonomy and resilience within a supportive community. A movement-based and self-development space dedicated to TIN\* bodies (Trans\*, Inter\*, Non-binary, including agender and genderqueer identities) and the lived experiences of people identifying outside traditional cisgender definitions. This practice draws inspiration from the experiential anatomy of Body-Mind Centering®, the breathwork of Ilse Middendorf, Authentic Movement, Feldenkrais, and other somatic movement approaches. Touch, hands-on and partnered work, dance improvisation tools, and collective reflection are woven together into an integrated somatic movement framework grounded in consent, autonomy, and care. The intention of this space is to support the cultivation of confidence and resilience in our physicality as TIN\* people, nurture bodily autonomy, and develop touch literacy within a supportive and conscious community. Each session begins with a guided somatic movement practice focused on developing anatomical tools for self-observation. We work with the five cardinal lines (arms, legs, spine), the four corners of the trunk (shoulders and hips), the three primary weights (head, chest, pelvis), and the two sides of the body. These principles support participants in orienting within their own physical architecture and cultivating embodied awareness. From this foundation, the practice expands into communal movement and shared spatial authorship, including time for integration and reflection. Movement is framed as relational, political, and spatial practice in its own right. **General Information** To engage fully in the experience, participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing. **Participants:** This workshop is intended for people who identify outside traditional cisgender definitions: Trans\*, Inter\*, Non-binary, including agender and genderqueer identities. **Registration:** This event has limited spots available. Registration via our website is required. **Language:** This event will be in English. **Cost:** The event is free of charge.

Nice! You are looking for real long time friendship! You might have already lived in Berlin or other big cities and experienced the "Anonymous" culture for a while. Meeting random people over and over and never see the same person again! In order to find "Real Long Term Friendship" in Berlin, do as follows: * You should not care how many people are joining this meetup. You RVSP. Even if only one person is joining. Because if everyone are waiting for everyone else to RVSP, nobody joins and nobody finds a new friend. * You do not care how many people of the opposite sex are joining. You are looking for friends. Finding the best romantic partner in the world, while avoiding not very attractive others, can be your other goal, for another time. Here we are looking for Friends. Real ones. * You are going to risk a very precious property of yours: Your time! Yes, there are thousands of opportunities in Berlin, there might be a rock concert for free, a birthday party you might miss, an important person might call you and invite you spontaneously, but you never find new friends until you decide to risk your time and meet people anyway. "I will check my calendar and get back to you" also does not work. Commit your time and spend it. Trust me, you won't go bankrupt ;-) * You are ready to use your phone as a real phone! You might have been using your phone as a tablet to visit Instagram and Facebook and watch movies. But if you want to find friends, you must know that people might take your phone number and give you theirs. That means they will Call you! And you have to pick up the phone and answer it. If you want to find new friends, you must be ready to do something really hard for the first time after years: Call people first, and if they called you: Answer your phone! * You are going to meet some people twice! That's the point of friendship. We already can experience random encounters with random people in random places one at a time. But that is not called friendship. If you want friends, you must be ready to meet the same person more than once. If you agree with above, RVSP and COME! You will meet other people who think the same way. P.S: Now that you've read all the way down to here, I suggest you [watch this animation](https://player.vimeo.com/video/547249272?h=22f3dd0f6f).

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome!

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay.

We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
