Vielen Dank an Iztok Petek, den Inhaber vom CI Space (www.facebook.com/cispaceberlin), der das wieder kostenlos für uns möglich macht - bitte dankt es ihm nach Möglichkeit mit dem Kauf von 1, 2 Getränken vor Ort. **Bitte seid spätestens 5min vor 9 Uhr da, da wir pünktlich starten werden.** Die ersten sind i. d. R. bereits ab 8:30 Uhr da, um vorab schonmal ein bisschen durchzustarten mit dem Netzwerken.

Mal verschlägt es uns nach Moabit! Unser Moderator [Der Gottwald (siehe hier)](www.der-gottwald.de) lädt erneut ein und führt euch durch den Morgen. Wie immer bieten wir eine moderierte Netzwerkrunde für euch an, um neue Kontakte zu knüpfen und das eigene Business voran zu treiben, außerdem ist Zeit für etliche weitere Gespräche!

Die Teilnahme ist generell kostenlos und **nicht** an eine Mitgliedschaft gebunden. **Bitte beachten:** Unternehmer mit Multi-Level Marketing-Geschäftsmodellen schließen wir von unseren Veranstaltungen komplett aus, da wir hier die Erfahrung machen mussten, dass es dabei oft nur ums Verkaufen geht, und meistens kein echtes Interesse am Netzwerken und am Gegenüber existiert. **Weiterhin** stehen wir deshalb auch allen Arten des Provisionsgeschäfts (Finanzoptimierer, Immobilienmakler, Versicherungsvertreter, etc.) extrem kritisch gegenüber und gestatten diesen keine Teilnahme an unseren Events. Solltet ihr der Meinung sein, ihr fallt nicht in diese Kategorie, obwohl ihr in einer der genannten Branchen arbeitet, so sprecht uns bitte im Vorfeld an. Wir freuen uns darauf, auch **dich** persönlich kennenzulernen und dir bei der Entwicklung deines Geschäfts weiterzuhelfen!

* *For English, please see below* Der Philosophische Stammtisch ist für alle, die gerne über das Leben philosophieren wollen ohne dabei zu verbissen den Fragen auf den Grund zu gehen. Wir wollen gemeinsam zu neuen Einsichten kommen und einen Raum schaffen für Menschen, die sich auf tieferer Ebene austauschen wollen. Die Fragen können von tiefen metaphysischen Fragen bis zu praktischen Lebensfragen reichen. Diese Veranstaltung soll gerade auch die ansprechen, die sich über solche Fragen Gedanken machen und sich austauschen wollen. Das hier ist kein politischer Diskurs. **Das Thema für diesen Abend** Wird bald bekannt gegeben. **For our English speaking members** We will have one table where the discussion is in English and you are welcome to join :) **Topic** Will be soon announced.

# **Do I Want to Pursue a PhD? Let's find out together!** Are you considering whether a PhD could be the right next step for you? Maybe you are drawn to research, academic work, or the idea of exploring one topic in real depth. Maybe you are thinking about an academic career. Or maybe you are simply curious whether a PhD would fit your goals, strengths, working style, and current life situation. In this three-hour interactive workshop, you will have the space to explore these questions in a structured and open way. Together, we will look at your motivations, expectations, resources, and potential challenges on the path toward a PhD. ## **What is this workshop about?** You will work on questions such as: * What draws me to the idea of pursuing a PhD? * What personal, academic, or professional motivations are shaping my interest? * How might academic work connect with the way I enjoy thinking, learning, and working? * What strengths, experiences, and resources could support me on this path? ## **Who is this meetup for?** This meetup is designed for people considering a PhD at any stage of their life. You do not need to have a finished research topic yet. It is enough if you are genuinely curious about whether a PhD might be right for you. ## **What to expect** * short inputs on the reality of pursuing a PhD * guided reflection exercises on motivation, goals, and fit * exchange with others considering a PhD * structured analysis of your resources and possible challenges ## **Practical details** **Format:** interactive workshop **Duration:** 3 hours **Target group:** people considering a PhD at any stage of their life **Prior knowledge:** none required ## **Facilitation** This workshop will be facilitated by **[Dr. Jonas Röttger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jonas-r%C3%B6ttger-645952102/)**. I completed my PhD in Management Sciences in the Netherlands in 2024. Today, I work in IT management consulting and also provide coaching and training for young professionals stepping into leadership roles. Drawing on my own doctoral experience, my consulting background, and my work as a coach and trainer, ## **Note** This workshop is not a formal PhD advisory session and does not replace individual advice on doctoral regulations, funding, supervision, or admission requirements. Its purpose is to help you clarify your personal decision-making basis and identify meaningful next steps. **If you are wondering whether a PhD could be part of your future, this meetup is a good place to start.**

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

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. Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

This is a free, in person meeting. 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.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
