Kennst Du das auch? Manchmal spürst Du, etwas hält Dich zurück. Du hast Ziele, aber innere Blockaden, Selbstzweifel oder alte Muster halten Dich zurück. An diesem Aufstellungstag schauen wir gemeinsam auf Dein Anliegen – egal ob es um Familie, innere Anteile, Symptome, Verhaltensmuster oder Beziehungen geht. Was erwartet Dich? \- mit wohlwollendem Blick auf Dich und Dein Anliegen schauen \- in die Akzeptanz kommen \- ins Spüren und Handeln kommen \- erste heilsame Schritte gehen \- ein geschützter Raum für Dich in kleiner Gruppe Wie arbeiten wir zusammen? Bei unserer gemeinsamen Arbeit machen wir uns das Phänomen zu nutze, dass der Mensch seine Emotionen räumlich wahrnehmen kann. In einer Aufstellung können durch stille Bewegungen im geschützten Raum neue Lösungsansätze entstehen, erspürt und ausprobiert werden. Die Herangehensweise im Schweigen ermöglicht es, Muster, Spannungen und unbewusste Hindernisse zu erkennen und den nächsten heilsamen Schritt auf dem eigenen Weg zu gehen. Was wird passieren? Wir starten mit einer sanften Einstimmung, stellen in Ruhe die individuellen Themen auf und beschließen mit einer gemeinsamen inneren Einkehr den Tag. So kannst Du gestärkt und in Verbundenheit in Deinen Alltag gehen.

Do you like to play football - but relaxed and not with competitive or aggressive players? Are you a bit lazy, a bit old, a bit unfit or not so talented? Are you tired of insecure bros who only want to show off their skills? **Then [Lousy & Lazy Football](https://www.instagram.com/landlsc/) is the right thing for you!** We are a group of friendly people who just want to have a relaxed kick. All genders, ages (+18) and nationalities welcome. **Feel free to join the waitlist even if it seems long - sometimes we make the event larger and play on two pitches (24 players, four teams) or even three pitches (36 players, six teams), depending on demand.** Note: **We do not allow high-studded football boots during our sessions.** To avoid injuries, we only play with "Multinocken" (multistuds) or shorter. Please have a look here: [link](https://www.11teamsports.com/de-de/fussballschuhe/multinocken/). Rules for lazy & lousy football 1. **Don’t be competitive** 2. **No hard tackling/sliding challenges** 3. **Support new players by giving them the time and space to play the ball** 4. **Don’t dribble past multiple players (trying to take on a player is fine but at no point should you be trying to dribble past multiple players).** 5. **Don’t close down the defenders too quickly. Give the team a chance to play the ball out.** 6. **Rotate the goalkeeper** 7. **Be a teamplayer** Waiting list: This meetup is for members of the Lousy & Lazy Sport Club. If you want to try out our lousy & lazy sport events, you can do a trial run (Probetraining).

It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…: • a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together… • a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like… Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 12 years of facilitating these sessions. Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments… All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. • no experience with meditation or music is needed to participate and enjoy Entrance at the door: €20 Audio samples • [https://soundcloud.com/.../flow-vocal-meditation-spring...](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fuser-164945673%2Fsets%2Fflow-vocal-meditation-spring-2023-real-magic-with-11-strangers%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkAIhcVmTyCq9IOEoXjKFCeIKeQkFhfTo1AMXpFxXqMT8MHpUrHTQFJ2aFBR_aem_79yaFhXmfnLJE77nWQlmyA&h=AT3DcPo9_IbGHKE3o5OKe12TOM95OO_fmBd8wc_R50S2YMVig4WI2tBo-ax5cTPzApnxu7H_5dIVw1piiHGQRq2TQgEKEMHhnGfAe3-mxuySWYsJ1HPgrsSFxSwYHCERTYeoq1hsWiV2MtYGipAgO5hMfbQysBVublo&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://www.baumhausberlin.de/.../11/19/proof-of-real-magic/](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.baumhausberlin.de%2Fen%2F2019%2F11%2F19%2Fproof-of-real-magic%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHrdXU7RI38vP56mGxeDBtXC8gj17fVJGXRLe2ECRmtybehh4gT8u22tnDn5G_aem_0HkowrPW3WKUviMB-7a85Q&h=AT3NMpXZxbSLOUVU2xeBiOW9xsjCVSTGlbFp39o56LiTye3vK-CCRnd63vTUS0aWyVzwt4rTX_pbJYkOmHN0ERWgJdDD-xtMkdkmC-YeVzZ-TFk21Wq98pJJEDrTb3vDTMZwZ08RlAexxisDyqX466hgciKGCZXJ0DA&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://soundcloud.com/.../improvisational-groove...](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fdas-baumhaus%2Fsets%2Fimprovisational-groove-orchestra-baumhaus-23072017%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHkAIhcVmTyCq9IOEoXjKFCeIKeQkFhfTo1AMXpFxXqMT8MHpUrHTQFJ2aFBR_aem_79yaFhXmfnLJE77nWQlmyA&h=AT0NXm5bCevOQda2Odm40e9DJuFCXMsSVTS8DOQ25zXSkzYB7eU3k7vzVcY6HXDOcnzvEaomQZ2SzWpIQRVEac501usw-BIkjetSYUx-yZRN9okSxKJlOUxCJf3-I-0OsQmwM7gCr1LdqevXC2MAgJLsiMa45sxUiig&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://soundcloud.com/scott-bolden/ebb-and-flow-p2-edit-2](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fscott-bolden%2Febb-and-flow-p2-edit-2%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHp-G-Mo60REIr1iDhdIb3DVP0a_OX5IQQUhxEr5RAbNKreCaiqnIMKlg00me_aem_-bKQiefiQS-VKr4wNLpRPA&h=AT3p6CHoQWPgKUHII0AOS83Hc40yN4_a9GdikdtCuXduL3phzmrJSf8ncA0t8n5kiq2SoYVkRBhgyLD8mIHDteOiMFc3ohCiIcA4KR05FM0AAFyOWSJRiXbb2RL-qWWIcOgrk-5IoNljrrs7t2OU_V20xjhKrlouOzs&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) • [https://soundcloud.com/scott-bolden/gently-flowing-through-a?in=scott-bolden/sets/ego-session-5-nov-13-2014](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fscott-bolden%2Fgently-flowing-through-a%3Fin%3Dscott-bolden%252Fsets%252Fego-session-5-nov-13-2014%26fbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjMwdtxoKsQYzcGwoDKJ3owd9QOfaoIRizhmsjRJztXsftDEy699HB55LUTj_aem_yP-UOtXHWrWp0AVWLu9Okg&h=AT0jb--3GfJPxU8thY_AVyzK22IEOIWhbNtGZoke1g4Cw5B2tGJhGTWnhPkLADvul-LRQZNSeuAzc9WTYr4Rw9FM_EpO_xkgWBqP7Z86caHAu1wiqlfAfJMYXdNzTYu9Hq2JhpUrIiC6VDZlWefrncnWiJG_U3-4eqU&__tn__=q&c[0]=AT2bNN4uRimqcDJgmIN7TyAuHZJCceja0MZDDPUmV60ppYYScFYGLJJdi2sNf4ek8r97Xf4v3bWUAa5vdedfUqqEfxzoTa4DRaAhADfmYljw_tmvlu1VxRIOpgBMdJzRXwCQUVv_kTJpnS5EGDd1G_p2FzFvDhlY8Ag) Private session for groups and organizations are available upon request. contact – info@baumhausberlin.de [www.baumhausberlin.de](http://www.baumhausberlin.de/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHp-G-Mo60REIr1iDhdIb3DVP0a_OX5IQQUhxEr5RAbNKreCaiqnIMKlg00me_aem_-bKQiefiQS-VKr4wNLpRPA) Gerichtstr.23 Vh Eg 13347 Berlin

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. Usually we are inside at the green table. Look for the Meetup sign, or just ask around!

Join us for chill **indoor** beach volley! 🏐 🏐 🏐 This event is for everyone who enjoys chill games and is not a *complete* beginner (A1.5+). We play 3v3 (or 4v4) with beach rules. There are no trainers at this event. Register via [the simultaneous event](https://www.meetup.com/berlin-volley/events/) for higher-level 2v2 matches (F1+). After playing, you can join us for socials with drinks and snacks at the bar area. We often play a social deduction game, which you're also welcome to join. We play in domes that are heated up to at least 15C. It's recommended that you come 10 minutes early so you have time to change and find the fields. If it is your first time, 15 minutes might be even better. You can join whatever court you like and move between courts during the event. We self-organize, so once you finish a game, you can start a rematch, mix with another court, or take a break as you see fit. Upon arrival, join the warmup happening on one of the courts. Join our WhatsApp community via [https://volley.berlin/WhatsApp](https://volley.berlin/WhatsApp) Follow us on Insta at [https://www.instagram.com/berlinvolleyball](https://www.instagram.com/berlinvolleyball) **Rules**: Do not join if you have an infectious disease. For everyone's safety, we do not allow kicking the ball during games with beginners. Be respectful of your fellow players. **Venue**: We play at BeachMitte. There are changing rooms, toilets, and hot water showers that cost 1 EUR. There are no lockers. There is a bar that sells drinks and snacks. **Payment**: You pay in advance via Meetup. Payment via PayPal or Urban Sports Club is not possible. **Refunds**: The venue does not provide refunds. Thus, we cannot refund you either, even if the event is canceled due to bad weather. If you know you can't make it in advance, you can try selling your spot to someone else via WhatsApp or the comment section. In the rare cases that we cancel an event due to poor attendance, everyone gets a full refund. Pictures might be taken and shared publicly, such as on Meetup or Instagram. You can opt out by letting the organizer know you do not wish to be photographed. By RSVP'ing to this event, you acknowledge and agree to the following: Participation in this volleyball event is at your own risk.

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!\*\***

Join us for intermediate and advanced play on **indoor** 2v2 courts. If you are not yet at the intermediate level (F1+) or want to play 3v3/4v4, sign up via [the simultaneous event](https://www.meetup.com/berlin-volley/events/) instead. We play with beach rules: do not use open hands for the first or last touches, do not touch the net, etc. We overbook slightly to ensure we have enough players and to allow individuals to take breaks. After playing, you can join us for socials with drinks and snacks at the bar area. It's recommended that you come 10 minutes early so you have time to change and find the fields. If it is your first time, 15 minutes might be even better. We play in domes that are heated up to at least 15C. You can join whatever court you like and move between courts during the event.

Step into 2026 with intention, clarity, and a creative practice designed to help you see yourself more clearly. In this special Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore confidence as something you can curate - through the choices you make, the qualities you amplify, and the story you choose to step into. We’ll start with a short guided reflection to surface the traits, habits, and energies you want to nurture in the coming year. Then, using collage materials selected specifically for this workshop, you’ll translate those insights into a visual composition that represents the version of yourself you’re ready to grow toward. This isn’t about resolutions or perfection. It’s about crafting a grounded, imaginative vision of your next chapter - one that feels honest, energizing, and fully yours. All materials are provided. Just bring yourself (and a friend) and a willingness to explore what confidence can look like for you in 2026. **Featured Partner: Columbus Collage Collective** The Columbus Collage Collective was started in August of 2023 by Emily Morgan (aka Lovely But Dead) and Douglas Cuckler (aka Wonder Doug) as a place for collage enthusiasts to gather and create art together. The collective has since become a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the mission to hold free or low-cost collage events across central Ohio. The CCC welcomes all artists of all backgrounds and skill levels and encourages folks to take this time to step away from everyday existence and create art with people who share a love for this dynamic art form. All materials—magazines, scissors, craft knives, glue, paper, cardboard, and more—are provided, so there's no need to bring anything at all (though you're welcome to bring a friend or a favorite tool if you'd like!). We also encourage folks to take home magazines and materials from our events to support continued creativity!

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! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*

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.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
