An Introduction to Conscious Transformation "Your first step back to clarity"
An Introduction to Conscious Transformation "Your first step back to clarity"
# **Event Description** If you are a leader, a founder, a high performer, or someone standing at a personal or professional crossroads — this evening is for you. **Ignite The You** is a conscious transformation path built around four phases: **The Call · The Shadow · The Vision · The Integration** In this introductory session, you will: ✨ get a first insight into each of these phases ✨ experience a guided presence practice ✨ explore why clarity is not found in thinking, but in stillness ✨ learn how inner leadership differs from performance ✨ connect with others who are on a similar journey This is not a motivational workshop. Not therapy. Not performance coaching. It is a quiet, grounded, honest space to reconnect with yourself. *** # **About Your Host** My name is **Ali**. I walked many professional paths — scientist, founder, CEO, manager — carrying responsibility across cultures and continents. And yet, achievement alone didn’t bring fulfillment. My transformation began when I entered the shamanic path and moved through the same four phases that now form *Ignite The You*. Today I combine scientific thinking, leadership experience, emotional intelligence, and shamanic wisdom to support people who feel a deeper calling in their lives. *** # **What to Expect** * A calm, minimal, presence-based session * Short introduction to the four phases * A guided clarity practice * Time for reflection and optional sharing * A quiet space free of pressure and performance *** # **Practical Details** **Duration:** 75–90 minutes **Format:** In-person circle **Location:** Berlin (exact address will be shared after RSVP) **Price:** Free for this introductory session **Bring:** openness, curiosity, your notebook if you wish *** # **Who This Is For** * CEOs, founders & senior leaders * High performers & creatives * People in transition * Anyone sensing a shift inside * Humans seeking clarity, presence, and inner alignment No experience required. Just come as you are. *** # **Join Us** If something in you resonates — a pull, a curiosity, a quiet yes — then this evening may be your first step back to yourself. Welcome.

Breathe Free - Consious Breathwork Session in Berlin
Breathe Free - Consious Breathwork Session in Berlin
\#\#\# Was ist Breathwork? Conscious Breathwork bedeutet bewusstes atmen. Und das ist es letztendlich auch, was wir etwa 70 Minuten lang machen werden. In einer Breathwork Session geht es vor allem darum, dass Du loslassen, Dich entspannen und mit Dir selbst und Deinem Unterbewusstsein verbinden kannst. Das geht am besten, in dem Du gar nichts erwartest und nicht so viel dadrüber nachdenkst. ✨ \#\#\# Das erwartet Dich Nach einem kurzen Check-In beginnen wir mit der Session. Die Atmung kann im Liegen oder Sitzen statt finden, ganz nach Deiner Wahl. Du wirst durch ein bewegendes Musikset geführt, wodurch Du in eine Trance-Atemmeditation gelangst. Hier kannst Du unter anderem diese Erfahrungen machen: Stress abbauen, herausfinden, was da noch in Dir steckt, Dein Potential entfalten, innere Anspannungen lösen oder unterdrückte Emotionen freilassen, in Dich hinein horchen und Lösungen finden, Kreative Ideen und Visionen erhalten oder einfach eine berührende Zeit haben. \#\#\# Über Nina Seit 2015 bin ich [Anusara® Elements™](https://www.anusarayoga.com/) Yogalehrerin. Es folgten viele Weiterbildungen in den Bereichen Chakren, Meditation, Yoga und Trauma. 2018 habe ich mich zudem auf die Heldenreise begeben. Seit 2023 bin ich Atemtherapeutin Conscious Breathwork nach der [Lichtatmung®](https://naou.de/lichtatmung/) und freue mich sehr, Dich bei Deiner Reise begleiten zu dürfen. In meine Sessions fließen meine unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen ein. Was mich jedoch am meisten bewegt: Mich begeistert alles, was Dich mehr bei Dir selbst ankommen lässt, Dich mit Deiner Lebendigkeit und vor allem Deinem Herzen verbindet! \#\#\# Bitte mitbringen: – Yogamatte oder andere Unterlage (z.B Isomatte), damit Du es schön gemütlich hast – Lockere, angenehme Kleidung – Alles andere, was Dich noch wohlfühlen lässt. Decken, Wasser und Snacks gibt es vor Ort! \#\#\# Deine Investition & Buchung Der Standard Preis beträgt 25 €. Das Ticket 1+1 Bring a Friend kostet 45€ und ist gültig für zwei. Du kannst die Tickets hier kaufen und mit mit allen gängigen Zahlungsmethoden schnell & einfach bezahlen. Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/breathe-free-conscious-breathwork-session-tickets-1856533524749 \#\#\# Bitte beachte\, dass der Platz auf 5 Teilnehmer:innen begrenzt ist\, sichere Dir rechtzeitig Deinen Platz\. \#\#\# Die Veranstaltung findet in Berlin\-Prenzlauer Berg statt\.

Access Bars - Ein Kurs nach dem Du schon immer gesucht hast?
Stell dir vor, die kritische Stimme in deinem Kopf, die dir einredet, du seist nicht gut genug oder könntest deine Träume nicht verwirklichen, verstummt. Dies geschieht auf wunderbare Weise durch das sanfte Berühren der Access Bars®-Punkte an deinem Kopf. Die Anwendung der Bars® hat positive Auswirkungen auf nahezu alle Bereiche deines Lebens: von Körper und Beziehungen über Sexualität, Heilung und der Manifestation von Geld bis hin zur Lebensfreude, Kommunikationsfähigkeit und Kreativität. Limitierende Glaubenssätze werden auf sanfte Art und Weise aufgelöst, negative Emotionen in Kraft verwandelt. Die Wirksamkeit der Access Bars® bei Ängsten, Depressionen, ADHS und anderen psychosomatischen Symptomen ist wissenschaftlich belegt! Du hast die Möglichkeit, die Access Bars bei dir selbst, deinen Liebsten und sogar bei Klienten anzuwenden. Möchtest du herausfinden, welche weiteren Veränderungen die Access Bars bewirken können? Welche wertvolle Toolbox für Transformation du nach diesem Kurstag mit nach Hause nimmst, erfährst du auf meiner Website: https://www.i-feel-so-good.de/access-consciousness/kurse-ausbildungen/access-bars-kurs.html Bitte beachte, dass die Kursanmeldung ausschließlich telefonisch möglich ist. Bei unseren Kennenlerntreffen hast du die Gelegenheit, eine Session zu genießen und dich mit Praktizierenden auszutauschen. Wenn du ein sehr persönliches Thema in der Tiefe bearbeiten möchtest, lade ich dich ein, eine Einzelsession zu vereinbaren.

[face to face] Interview Simulation
[face to face] Interview Simulation
Join this **Interview Simulation** session — to sharpen the skills for both interviews **and** architectural pitches. 💡 How it works The event is split into three parts: 1. **Most common behavioral & HR questions** \- you will receive a printed list of behavioral/HR questions and we brainstorm tips on how to prepare for them 2. **Interview Simulation (10 minute rounds)** – One participant acts as the interviewee and answers a round of behavioral and design-focused questions. Each other participant gets to ask him one interview question. 3. **Feedback Round** – The group provides feedback on communication, structure, and clarity. Constructive criticism is encouraged. 💡You will be asked: * **Behavioral questions** (“Tell me about yourself”, “Describe a challenge you faced...”) * **Technical questions** (based on your tech stack) * **Light design problems** (high-level reasoning, not code) No need to prepare anything in advance — just bring curiosity and an open mind. Feel free to bring your CV if you’d like feedback from others, or share a few words if you’re currently job hunting. If so, we will also brainstorm answers to more common questions that you were asked. Whether you’re preparing for an interview or simply want to grow as a software designer or architect, this session is for you.

Software ate the world, Agents are eating Software Engineering
Software ate the world, Agents are eating Software Engineering
2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.
Conversacion en español (en persona)
Conversacion en español (en persona)
While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings.
Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus. In this session, we’ll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA
