[😊🥕 Scenes from our last kitchen gathering](https://www.instagram.com/p/DWKCm_hDVcF/) **🧘Listen to Your Body & Cook Together** 🌺 This time, we're skipping the theme. Instead, take a moment to listen to your body and think about what you've been craving lately☀️ Bring **two vegan ingredients** that feel right to you, and together we'll create delicious meals inspired by everyone's choices. There are no right or wrong ingredients—just bring what your body is asking for, and let's see what we can create together or individually. **What to bring:** * **Two vegan ingredients of your choice.** * Curiosity and a willingness to experiment **👉Not sure what to bring?** Simply bring **two vegetables of your choice**—that's always a great place to start. No strict recipes—we're not aiming to follow traditional ones. It's all about sharing vegan meal ideas, getting creative, and enjoying each other's company. *** 🏡 **What the organizer will provide** 🏡 I'll also provide a selection of pantry basics to cook with, including olive oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, balsamic vinegar, and apple cider vinegar. There will be carb options such as bulgur, rice, wrappers, or bread, as well as legumes like canned beans and some soy products. We’ll also have canned tomatoes, tomato paste, chili, garlic, shallots, coconut yogurt, soy milk, and a variety of dried seeds, ground spices, and condiments to build flavors together. *** 💚 **Details at a Glance** 💚 Saturday 4th July \| 13:00–16:00 \(Doors open at 12:45\) 🧺 **Please Bring:** 2 vegan ingredients of your choice 💵 **Fee:** €5 (Covers the meetup fee and shared ingredients) 🙏 RSVP and confirm your attendance by Friday at noon to secure your spot This event is limited to 6 people and hosted in my private kitchen *** ### Schedule 12:45–13:00 \| Welcome & introductions 13:00–15:00 \| Cooking time 15:00–16:00 \| Shared meal & warm goodbyes *** ### **Allergies / Food Intolerances** Some ingredients will contain **wheat (gluten) and soy**.

Hello Film friends! It's summer in Berlin and that means it's time for the annual Berlin Film Community BBQ. We love to BBQ, Alex specifically, and are looking forward to seeing your happy, hungry faces at Mauerpark on July 5th. We will be in the grilling area and should be relatively easy to find. While we will provide some meat, veg, and drinks for everyone, we can't bring enough for everyone, so please bring some food and drink for yourself. This is also of course weather dependent, if it looks like the weather will not cooperate, we will reschedule. Please sign up at this link so we can let you know if we need to cancel. https://www.eventbrite.de/e/7th-annual-berlin-film-community-bbq-tickets-1991464322397 We're looking forward to seeing you all at the BBQ and will keep our fingers crossed for good weather!

Please RSVP on luma: https://luma.com/xmc1l5eg # Laid off? Same! Barely anyone I know hasn't been laid off at least once. Layoffs feel like another Tuesday right now. That's why I call us "Generation Layoff." If you've been laid off, or feel one coming - this is your space. This meetup is for everybody pre-, during or post-layoff. Whether you stressed out about an upcoming layoff or you've been laid off and now job-hunting or want to start something of your own - come and share. No judgment, no pressure. We share where we're at, what we're going through, and what's coming next. This isn't another networking event where we hunt opportunities and call being laid off "impacted by company restructuring." We connect people based on the challenges they're actually facing - so everyone leaves with something useful, whether that's a contact, a resource, or just knowing you're not alone. Being laid off is often treated as a taboo topic - and it shouldn't be. We'll exchange all the insider tips and tricks and get stronger together. What to Expect: → A chill, zero-judgement safe space → Addressing your challenges → People helping people ORGANISATIONAL STUFFS: → We'll meet in a park, bring a blanket to sit on, a drink of your choice and some snacks, whatever it is you need for a picnic style. ​→ In case of rain we will go to the BRLO Brewery. ​If you can't find us, call +4917626669794 ​I will carry a sign with "GENERATION LAYOFF" though :D ​We meet in Gleisdreieck park here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rC6fh9EprxEHnxEL7?g_st=ic](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rC6fh9EprxEHnxEL7?g_st=ic&utm_source=luma)
