**Die Prägungen unserer Kindheit stehen manchmal einem glüklichen Leben im Weg - auch bei Freundschaften.** **Dieses Buch geht diesen Prägungen & dysfunktionalen Glaubenssätzen auf den Grund.** +++++++++++++++ **🏡 Wir treffen uns bei mir am Wohnzimmertisch.** **💶 Teilnahmegebühr: 5 EUR** **📘 [Amazon-Link zum Buch: Befreiung von Scham und Schuld.](https://amzn.to/4kNaqPP)** (Werbung: Als Amazon-Partner verdiene ich an qualifizierten Verkäufen.) +++++++++++++++ **🌳 Über das Meetup** Dieses Meetup ist eine gemeinsame Besprechung des Buches. Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darüber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es für Dein Leben hat. Wir sind unterschiedlich weit im Buch - doch mindestens bis Seite 106 hat jeder gelesen. **Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben. Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen).** . **Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.** . +++++++++++++++++ **🌻 Mehr zum Inhalt** Manchmal funktionieren Freundschaften nicht, weil man * sich nicht öffnen kann, * zu schüchtern ist, * andere Menschen nicht an sich heran lässt * klammert * zu viel will * wegrennt * nicht die richtigen Menschen trifft * schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat * oder oder oder ... . ... alte Themen aus der Kindheit holen einen ein. . Ebenso stehen Glaubenssätze wie "ich bin nicht gut genug", "ich bin nicht liebenswert", "Ich bin unfähig", "Ich muss mich beweisen", .... und dergleichen guten Freundschaften im Weg. . Nicht nur Freundschaften, sondern das ganze Leben, Partnerschaften und Erfolg im Beruf scheinen von diesem alten Mist durchsetzt. Bei dem einen mehr, bei der anderen weniger. . Zurzeit lese ich das Buch: **"Befreiung von Scham und Schuld"** von Laurance Heller und Angelika Doerne. . In diesem Buch geht es genau darum: Wie prägen schlechte Kindheitserlebnisse und die Beziehung zu unseren Eltern unsere heutigen Beziehungen - nicht nur Freundschaften, auch Partnerschaften und Beziehungen im Beruf. . Zur allgemeinen Erleichterung: Nicht nur schlechte Gefühle prägen uns, sondern auch die vielen guten Gefühle 🦋🌞🌻🤗. . Dass Du diese Zeilen lesen kannst, heißt, dass sehr viel Gutes in Deinem Leben passiert ist. Juchu! . Ich finde dieses Buch sehr gut. Es geht den Prägungen der Kindheit zielgerichtet auf den Grund. Gleichzeitig ist es leicht und locker geschrieben. . **Der Stoff ist intensiv. Deshalb gibt es diesen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten.** Vielleicht ist das Buch auf für Dich interessant? **Dann komm gern dazu!** . Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darüber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es für Dein Leben hat. . Dabei können wir so offen sein, wie wir möchten. Nichts muss, nur kann. Wir sprechen auch darüber, wie Du einige dieser Prägungen auflösen kannst. . **Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben!** Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens mal 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen). **Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.** . **+++++ 😊 Teilnehmer-Stimmen** . "Der Austausch hat mir geholfen, meine Gedanken zum Buch in richtig gute Bahnen zu bringen. Das hatte Tiefe. Über sowas miteinander zu sprechen, hilft mir richtig viel, um mich und andere zu verstehen." . "Jede meiner Empfindungen, Körperreaktionen, Gefühle und Gedanken ist ja nur davon geprägt, wie ich aufgewachsen bin. Das habe ich mit dem Buch verstanden. Danke, dass Du den Raum bietest, dass wir uns darüber unterhalten können." . "Ein Buch mit einer solchen Tragweite lese lieber mit anderen zusammen. Außerdem bleibe ich dann wirklich dran." **+++++🔷 Hintergrund** **👱🏽‍♂️ Zu mir: Ich bin Georg Preller.** Seit 4 Jahren betreibe ich die Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de).

Auf meiner Websiete findest Du viele Tipps, wie man gute Freundschaften anbahnt. . Zurzeit erforsche ich tiefe Themen der Psychologie.

We have used equations, algorithms, and AI models to generate images and installations.

**🦥 Effortlessness and effortless Practice 🦥** “*It is not what you do, but what you stop doing that matters. [...] In peace and silence the skin of the ‘I’ dissolves and the inner and the outer become one. The real sadhana is effortless.*” (Nisargadatta Maharaj) **One of the fundamental opposites on the spiritual path are effort and effortlessness. The more advanced the practice, the more effortlessness becomes an important quality in the practice. At the same time, most practicioners make a lot of effort on the path.** **Let's meet and share for an afternoon on the topic of effortlessness and effortless practice and it's balance with effort.** “*When you are trying too hard, your effort becomes mechanical, and that defeats mindfulness before it even gets started. [...] Drop your expectations and straining. Simply meditate with a steady and balanced effort. Enjoy your meditation and [...t]he meditation itself will take care of the future.*” (Bhante Gunaratana) 💫 **What this event offers for you:** *Guided Meditations for arriving, calming the mind and tuning into your intuition - Meeting people interested in spirituality (all levels) *Safe Space for sharing - non-hierarchical and non-judgemental - Opportunity to ask just about any question **👀 You may watch one or few of the following Videos for inspiration:** * Adyashanti on effortless effort: [https://youtu.be/0ZxRrfZTj9I?is=jTGL1qspGosYmxch](https://youtu.be/0ZxRrfZTj9I?is=jTGL1qspGosYmxch) * Angelo Dilullo on "Simply always awake": [https://youtu.be/l2LZvO9wotM?is=AGxDMQem6AL2MJAn](https://youtu.be/l2LZvO9wotM?is=AGxDMQem6AL2MJAn) * Dean Sluyter on the Guru Viking Podcast "on "Effortless Awakening": [https://youtu.be/hWn63b4f490?is=tHMv8coTga2jhci5](https://youtu.be/hWn63b4f490?is=tHMv8coTga2jhci5) * Mingyur Rinpoche on effortless meditation: [https://youtu.be/2va3j-Ub3B0?is=lE3T-MMxF8eFpQeH](https://youtu.be/2va3j-Ub3B0?is=lE3T-MMxF8eFpQeH) * Swami Sarvapriyananda on effortless meditation: [https://youtu.be/1GkNIs3H2OA?is=HVcNEgoYuasFuNHb](https://youtu.be/1GkNIs3H2OA?is=HVcNEgoYuasFuNHb) * Shinzen Young on "strong determination sitting": [https://youtu.be/xVUtUguRc5s?is=YWH_wRWTJb3Ooqc5](https://youtu.be/xVUtUguRc5s?is=YWH_wRWTJb3Ooqc5) * Sadhguru on "Meditation is effortless": [https://youtu.be/7uV-dZuxAXg?is=yiKvnjwUsUFOQ7oM](https://youtu.be/7uV-dZuxAXg?is=yiKvnjwUsUFOQ7oM) **🧘 About the Organizer** Martin is a certified Mindfulness Teacher, Systemic Coach, Yogi and Altruist by heart who teaches Meditation and Martial Arts in different formats. However, in this meetup Martin focuses on the altruistic intention to open a space for people to share while offering as much facilitation as needed in the moment. “*What is the use of truth, goodness, harmony, beauty? They are their own goal. They manifest spontaneously and effortlessly, when things are left to themselves, are not interfered with, not shunned, or wanted, or conceptualized, but just experienced in full awareness. Such awareness itself is sattva. It does not make use of things and people — it fulfils them.*” (Nisargadatta Maharaj)

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

**Complex Trauma Support Group** Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you. We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD. **What to expect at your first meeting:** Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge. We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit. Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time. The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other. You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.

**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** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
