Butterflies

Berlin is slowly slipping into summer again — longer evenings, warmer air and the feeling that staying home might mean missing something. Join us for a Monday night full of conversations, new faces and a little bit of early summer energy before the city gets too busy to notice itself. ✨ Tiny optional challenge: Bring one small thing that feels like summer in Berlin to you. A photo, an object, a snack, sunglasses, a book, a strange souvenir — anything with a story behind it. Orga The location accepts only card payments. We will be sitting in the first room. Questions?

My path went from growing up in a dance school to studying philosophy to working in IT support, and somehow all of that led me here: hosting meetups and creating spaces where people can show up, relax, and connect.

Bring a blanket, maybe a drink or snack, and 3–5 books you’d like to pass on, and spend a relaxed Sunday afternoon with fellow readers at the Gleisdreieck Park. Novels, philosophy books, poetry, comics, forgotten favorites — in any language — everything is welcome. Maybe you’ll leave with fewer books — or more. Both are part of the adventure. This is not a formal market or networking event — just a cozy little community gathering with books, conversations, and a bit of curiosity. Come browse, swap, chat, or simply enjoy the atmosphere on the grass. Orga The meetup will only take place when the **weather is good**. Please keep an eye on notifications. This meetup is donation based. Your contribution helps keep this community alive and is highly appreciated.

In the spirit of a 19th-century salon, this gathering will be a space for lively conversations, fascinating encounters, and the exchange of ideas over drinks. Whether you’re new in town or a local looking to expand your social circle, this is the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded explorers of Berlin’s nightlife. Each week, we shine a spotlight on a special guest from our community — someone who brings along a topic they’re passionate about or deeply engaged with. It’s not a presentation or a performance, but rather a gentle invitation into conversation: a starting point for curiosity, questions, and unexpected connections. The topic can naturally weave its way into the evening, without needing to take over. If you’d like to be our next special guest, feel free to reach out via the contact form: [https://socialbutterfly.berlin/contact/](https://socialbutterfly.berlin/contact/) This time, **Alladin** invites us to explore the topic “When the Body Remembers: Finding Calm After Stress, Noise, and Change.” After moving through different cities, life transitions, pressure, and moments of inner tension, he became curious about how stress can live not only in thoughts, but also in the body — in sleep, muscles, breathing, dreams, reactions, and daily energy. Through practices like meditation, breathing, music, movement, and self-observation, he has been learning how the body slowly finds safety again. Have you ever noticed your body reacting to old stress before your mind understands why? What helps you return to calm? Orga The location is cash only. It is non-smoking (with a separate room for smoking). We’ll be sitting on the couches in the first room. Questions?

**Online-Nähabend auf Discord – gemeinsam nähen, austauschen und helfen** Hast du Lust auf einen entspannten Online-Nähabend – ganz ohne Kursdruck? Wir treffen uns auf Discord, um gemeinsam zu nähen, zu plaudern und uns gegenseitig zu helfen. Egal ob Anfängerin, Anfänger oder schon fortgeschritten: Alle sind willkommen. Bring einfach dein aktuelles Projekt mit, stelle Fragen oder teile deine Tipps mit der Runde. **Deinen Arbeitsplatz zeigen – optional** Wenn du möchtest, kannst du deinen Arbeitsplatz live zeigen, zum Beispiel über: * Kamera auf Discord (Webcam oder Handy) * Bildschirmfreigabe für Schnittmuster oder Anleitungen am PC * Handy als Kamera von oben auf deinen Tisch **Ablauf des Abends** Ganz locker und ohne festes Ende: * **20:00 Uhr** – Ankommen und kurzer Technik-Check (Ton, Bild, Bildschirmfreigabe) * Kurze Vorstellungsrunde: Woran arbeitest du gerade? Wo brauchst du vielleicht Hilfe? * Danach freies Nähen, Austausch und Fragen zwischendurch * Offenes Ende – wenn du müde wirst, kannst du einfach gehen **Wichtig** Wir starten pünktlich um **20:00 Uhr**. Wer später dazukommt, ist natürlich trotzdem willkommen. Nach dem Start läuft der Abend aber eher frei, deshalb können wir Spätankommende nicht mehr so gut in einen festen Ablauf einbinden. **Technik-Hinweise** * Wir treffen uns in einem Discord-Sprachkanal, auf Wunsch auch mit Video * Wenn du deinen Arbeitsplatz zeigen möchtest, funktioniert die Kombination aus Handy und Laptop meist am besten * Bitte schalte eines der Mikrofone stumm, damit es kein Echo gibt * Kopfhörer sind empfehlenswert * Bildschirmfreigabe klappt meistens am besten in der Discord-Desktop-App, im Browser kann es Einschränkungen geben. **Zeit** **Donnerstag, 20:00 Uhr** **Discord-Zugang** Den Discord-Link bzw. die Kanalinfos poste ich kurz vor Beginn direkt im Event. Er ist für angemeldete Teilnehmende sichtbar.

Looking for a low-pressure way to get offline, meet new people, and actually do something fun on a Tuesday? This is a relaxed pool night in Spandau—come for a few rounds, stay for the chats, and leave with a couple of new familiar faces. **What to expect** * Casual pool games in **rotating rounds** (so everyone gets to play) — **beginners are welcome** * A friendly vibe: meaningful conversations *and* a bit of playful pool-table silliness * We **start on time** — please arrive punctually, otherwise it’s hard to fit you into the rotation **Costs** * Your own drinks + shared table costs (depending on group size) **RSVP** Please RSVP on Meetup so I can estimate how many tables we’ll need.
