'The tears of things' chapter 6 discussion book club
'The tears of things' chapter 6 discussion book club
Officially register for location details here! https://luma.com/lc0ibzp5 Hey friends! 👋 ​We’re diving into The Tears of Things by Richard Rohr, and you’re invited to join the conversation. Each month, we read one chapter and gather to explore what resonates — from compassion and anger to hope and how we make meaning in messy times. ​This month, we’re talking about Chapter 6! Totally fine if you missed previous book club chapters, it's easy to join in the conversation. ​Come as you are — curious, questioning, or quietly taking it in. Let us know if you're in! (So we can get enough snacks! ☺️) ​ ​Book overview: ​In his first major work since The Universal Christ, one of our most prominent spiritual voices offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for living today, grounded in the timeless words of the Hebrew prophets. ​How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel over an unfair world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, showing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a path forward today. ​The prophets' writings echo the spectrum of human development. Beneath their initial fervor and their powerful words, there lies a profound lamentation about our shared human condition and the pain of the world. Yet, in their astute critiques of culture and institutions, and their movement from anger and lament to wholeness and hope, the prophets embody what Rohr calls holy disorder— a distinct approach to confronting malevolence and recognizing the wholeness of every living being. ​Drawing on a century of Biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared millions to Rohr, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom and paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a wholehearted way of living in a hurting world. ​About the author, Richard Rohr: ​Franciscan friar and ecumenical teacher, Father Richard Rohr bears witness to the deep wisdom of Christian mysticism and traditions of action and contemplation. Founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, Father Richard teaches how God’s grace guides us to our birthright as beings made of Divine Love. He is the author of numerous books, including The Universal Christ, The Wisdom Pattern, Just This, and Falling Upward.

Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈 - Edition 010
Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈 - Edition 010
**Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈** is a new, informal in-person Rust meetup group in Berlin. We are a interactive meetup format interested in mob coding, deep diving and problem solving together. We build toy projects, share experiences, discuss technology and learn new cool stuff. And you are welcome to join! No matter if you are writing Rust production code every day, if you already contribute to Open Source projects or want to start doing so, if you use Rust in hobby projects or if you are just curious what the hype and buzz is all about, you are very welcome! To coordinate and plan activities, please join our **[Rust Berlin on location 🏳️‍🌈](https://signal.group/#CjQKIApfEgb36v82nhIb7m6zLCQjEtSEZubR7UvywTcWZXxdEhBWxhMWNCKekvtCYX7iDRRm)**[ Signal group](https://signal.group/#CjQKIApfEgb36v82nhIb7m6zLCQjEtSEZubR7UvywTcWZXxdEhBWxhMWNCKekvtCYX7iDRRm)! **Planned programme** Being an informal meetup, we are open to anything between just meet and talk, explore nerd snipes and rabbit holes, mob code together, plan and build fun projects, tinker with electronics, and presentations with Q&A. This time, our main topic is going to be dependency-tree security. Jan-Erik will share insights into how security is upheld at Mozilla — in the Firefox project — in the context of third party open source library packages and repeated attempts at attacks through malicious crates. If someone brings other cool stuff, questions or problems, then let us dedicate the second half of the meetup time to that! Anyone is invited to bring their projects and questions, show something, ask something, or explore a topic together. The best conversations and deepest rabbit holes can emerge out of seemingly nowhere. **Projected upcoming meetups** We schedule regular meetups on Thursday evening every four weeks, using the slot between the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup (every two weeks), and the Rust Nuremberg online meetup (every four weeks). 22 January 2026 is our tenth meeting. Our next projected meetings are going to occur on the following dates: * 19 Feb 2026 * 19 Mar 2026 * 16 Apr 2026 * 14 May 2026 * 11 Jun 2026 * 9 Jul 2026 **Location** Our meetup location is the new shared office community space of Ferrous Systems, Slint and KDAB in Berlin Mitte, for up to 25 people. We are expecting to use this space as our default location for the time being, with the IN-Berlin e.V. community space in Moabit as backup. Regardless, as our group might eventually outgrow the locations' size limit, we are low-key looking for bigger locations. If you know a fitting location, then please let us know in our Signal group! Another workable way might be to split the meetup into smaller, interest-specific sub-groups instead. As the no-show rate on Meetup.com is rather high, consider showing up even if you are on the waiting list. We can't promise that there is any space left, but usually there is. So give it a shot! **Accessibility** The location has an elevator and a wheelchair accessible bathroom. Please note that the bathroom is two floors down from the meetup space. On our quest for a bigger location, we are going to pay special attention to accessibility. **Community** We aim to create a safe place for everyone and adhere to the [Berlin Code of Conduct](https://berlincodeofconduct.org/). Inclusivity is very important to us. If you are curious about Rust, but unsure if you are welcome to join: Yes, yes you are. Please come to the meetup! If you have special needs, please get in contact, we will try to accommodate you as best we can. We are part of [https://berline.rs/](https://berline.rs/) and like to hang out in the Berlin Rust Hack and Learn online meetup's [Matrix channel](https://matrix.to/#/!xycQxSjSAvEezkyztA:chat.berline.rs). You are very welcome to join!
Help me think about this! An evening to examine interesting thoughts together
Help me think about this! An evening to examine interesting thoughts together
**Please note that we invite people through different channels, so there are more attendees than you can see here :)** Is there a thought that’s been on your mind for a while — one you’d like to explore with others in a focused, open-minded, and safe setting? In our next discussion experiment, we will create a space for just that. You will have the opportunity to explain your thought and the aspect that interests you most. We will then take some time as a group to examine it in a moderated discussion. **What kind of thought can I bring?** Pretty much anything you’d like to hear other people’s perspectives on. Perhaps you have been thinking about a philosophical, societal, moral, or a personal question. A thought you find fascinating, intriguing, confusing or tricky to explain, maybe even one you usually keep to yourself for fear of being misunderstood. **What can I expect from the event?** As this is an experimental event, we’re not completely sure how it will turn out — but here’s what we will do: * Once we start, we will ask for volunteers to contribute a question * We will dedicate up to 25 minutes per person and question * You will be able to share and clarify your question before we collect thoughts on it * We’ll use an experimental facilitation technique that slows the discussion down and helps us avoid getting sidetracked or lost in terminology and definitions That way, we want to create a curious, playful container in which we can take thoughts apart and compare different takes without arguing or trying to win debates. Find out more in the FAQ below, or [send us an email](mailto:info@diskussions-experiment.de "mailto:info@diskussions-experiment.de") if you have any questions! This event is brought to you in partnership with Moe, an app that helps you find the people in your life who are seeking the same kind of connection you are – whether that’s deep conversation, creative improv, or something else entirely. Haven’t tried Moe yet? We’ll do a quick intro at the event, and then you’ll be able to use him to discover future gatherings & people that match your interests. +++++++++ **FAQ** ***Who is this event for?*** This event is for anyone who is curious and open minded. We aim to create spaces where people of all ages, identities, and backgrounds feel welcome. You don’t need to prepare anything, have strong opinions, or be extroverted to take part. ***Do I have to actively participate, or can I just listen?*** It’s perfectly fine to just listen. You can decide for yourself at any time how active you want to be and will not be asked to speak. However, there might be breakout groups, i.e. short segments in which all participants talk in groups of 2-3 people. You do not have to participate in these; you can use the time for a break instead. ***What’s the duration of the event?*** Each event lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. Feel free to stay a bit longer to finish the snacks, chat with other participants, and deepen the conversation. ***Is the venue wheelchair accessible?*** The venue is on the ground floor and accessible with wheelchairs. However, there are unfortunately no wheelchair-accessible bathrooms! ***What is "The Discussion Experiment"*** The Discussion Experiment is an ongoing series of events through which we continuously test methods that foster more meaningful and inspiring group conversations. Among other things, we experiment with techniques that slow down discussions, improve clarity, and support participants in expressing their ideas more effectively. Read more about it on the [main page.](https://diskussions-experiment.de/en/home/ "https://diskussions-experiment.de/en/home/") This project is run by [Igor Don](http://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-don "http://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-don") and Maria Scholze.

The Agentic AI Engineering Lab: Build, Break & Iterate
The Agentic AI Engineering Lab: Build, Break & Iterate
**The Vibe:** Agentic AI is moving too fast for „best practices.“ We are here to experiment, debug, and learn from each other. **The Plan:** I’m hosting a micro-meetup for software engineers who are actively exploring autonomous AI agents. Whether you are building with CrewAI, LangGraph, AutoGen, or experimenting with local LLMs – let’s compare notes. This is a „Lab“ session. We will: \* **Show & Tell:** Share what you are working on (even if it’s broken). \* **Dissect Approaches:** Discuss how to handle context, loops, and hallucinations in production. \* **Hands-on:** Bring your laptop. We try different setups live. The Logistics: 📍 Location: My Office in Grunewald area – Boardroom. 🎟 Capacity: Strictly limited to 6 seats. 🍕 Food/Drinks: Snacks and drinks provided. Who is this for? **Professionals eager to actively shape the future and elevate software engineering through Agentic AI.** We are looking for people ready to co-create the next generation of workflows, not just watch from the sidelines. Since we are a very small group, please only register if you are willing to actively participate in the discussion and hands-on lab work.
Let's build a Scavenger Hunt together - Social Butterfly Club 🦋
Let's build a Scavenger Hunt together - Social Butterfly Club 🦋
This meetup is a relaxed kick-off for everyone who’s curious about building something together. The idea: creating a playful scavenger hunt for Berlin — step by step, as a community. Not as a fixed project yet, but as an open exploration of what could be fun, meaningful, and doable together. This first meetup is a thinking and exchange space: * What makes a great scavenger hunt? * Digital or analogue? * Small and simple, or a bit more ambitious? * How could we collaborate in a way that feels light and sustainable? You don’t need any prior experience, skills, or commitment. Just curiosity, ideas, and an interest in making things with others. This meetup is part of our **Maker Octopus** 🐙 spirit — about experimenting, co-creating, and letting ideas grow through shared action. Meet your host I’m Julia — a Berlin local who loves bringing people together. 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.

The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū.

The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.
