Women’s Coaching Circle 💔 Using a Breakup as a Catalyst for Growth
**A breakup can feel destabilizing and painful, but it can also become a powerful moment for reflection, learning, and personal growth.** This women coaching circle offers a supportive and trauma-aware space to explore how you can use your breakup as a turning point rather than something that defines or limits you.
**❣ Please read all details! ❣**
This is a guided coaching space with a clear focus on self-reflection, insight, and forward movement. Participation is always voluntary. You choose how much you share, and listening is a valid form of participation at all times.
Through mindful reflection, structured group coaching, and practical tools, you will be supported to:
🌿 gain perspective on your breakup and its impact
💛 recognize patterns, needs, and inner resources
🌅 identify concrete ways to grow, rebuild confidence, and move forward with more self-trust
There is no pressure to revisit painful details or to share personal stories unless it feels supportive for you. The intention is not emotional release, but conscious understanding and empowerment.
**This women’s circle is about clarity, self-responsibility, and learning how to turn a challenging life transition into an opportunity for growth.**
🌞 **About the Spaceholder**
This circle is guided by Isabel, a holistic mindfulness and life coach with many years of experience supporting individuals and groups through life transitions. Her approach is grounded, trauma-aware, and practical. Isabel combines mindfulness, emotional awareness, and coaching tools to help her clients gain clarity, strengthen self-trust, and move forward with intention and presence.

sMove! Winter Training – Moving into Your Potential ❄️✨
### ***This is a closed course that can only be booked and attended as a whole.***
***So it’s best to join one of the other sMove! trainings beforehand – either on Thursdays in the park or online on Saturdays: [www.baerbelsinger.de/smove ](www.baerbelsinger.de/smove)***
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
### Sensing and Expanding 🌿
sMove! invites you to expand your sensations and ways of expression through the body. The movements are simple and playful – yet they go deep: by moving with awareness, you discover qualities within yourself that are often covered by habit or tension.
### The Body as a Container 🌀
The body is more than muscles and bones – it is a container of memories, energy, and possibilities. In sMove! training, we explore this potential through rhythm, new movements, and focused attention. Each movement becomes an opportunity to sense more clearly, to shift old patterns, and to unfold new qualities – vitality, calm, presence, joy.
### Clarity through Intention 🎯
What makes sMove! special is not performance or perfection, but the direct experience of your body paired with intention, precision, and letting go. When you allow your body to guide you, space opens: your mind becomes quieter, energy can flow, aliveness grows. sMove! strengthens you inside and out – with more flexibility, strength, and ease.
### Experiencing Community 🤝
In the group, connection arises. Everyone moves in their own way – and yet we resonate with the shared rhythm. This collective presence builds trust in your own strength, encourages curiosity, and makes it easier to try something new.
### Who is sMove! for? 🌍
sMove! is open to everyone – previous experience is recommended (feel free to ask).

**Talk 2: Solving real life problems with basic Python**
**Abstract:** 2 years ago I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting an amazing person who invited me to join the Python en Español community.
This community is mainly aimed at people who have 0 to no knowledge about the language and they want to learn. The recurring problem for many of these practitioner is to find good real life examples to practice their skills.
Did you know that you can solve 90% of business problems with only prints and inputs?
well, maybe that was a lie but not far off from the truth.
In this talk I want to guide you on how you can solve a real life case scenario of a business wanting to adjust the prices of their articles base on real time demand. Starting with a few variables an input and a print and slowly grow into a real time system consuming from different sources, to answer the hardest question there is.
Was it worth it? or should we have stopped at reading from files 7 iterations ago?
**Speaker:** Eric Rishmüller
**Bio:** Eric works as a Lead Data Engineer at Thomann Musikhaus. He has been living in Berlin for the past five years and is originally from Argentina. Eric started sharing his passion for Python seven years ago and is quite active in Spanish-speaking Python communities.
**Lightning talks**
There will be slots for 2-3 Lightning Talks (3-5 Minutes for each).
Kindly let us know if you would like to present something at the start of the meetup :)

**What participants say:**
👩🏻🦰 **Maria:**
*"It was wonderful at your place.*
*The atmosphere, the time, the place (beautifully close to nature and connected) and your singing. The evening did me good and I can only recommend it to others.*
*Gladly again !!!"*
🙍🏻♂ **Alexander:**
*„Through this trance, I regained pieces of the puzzle that had been completely forgotten due to life in our society. I can't even put into words what exactly it was, but it was connected to certain memories that I wouldn't have been able to access in my everyday state of consciousness. This deep relaxation gave me the feeling that I could let go of things in my system and it felt as if I had been given a deep massage."*
Crossroads: History and Human Nature
For this first meeting, our initial topic of discussion will be The Rise of Anti-Intellectualism and Consumerism in the West, post WW2.
We'll start with short introductions from everyone attending.
The focus will be on historical, scientific and philosophical discussion rather than contemporary political debate
You can also register here if the limit runs out:

When our favorite artists and thinkers disappoint us
**Experimental Discussion**
**Please note that we invite people through different channels, so there are more attendees than you can see here :)**
Have you ever been disappointed in an artist, a thinker or a public figure who was actually important to you?
In this discussion, we want to reflect on how we deal with moments when art or ideas that matter to us are suddenly poisoned by something we learn about the people who made them.
This is a version of the old question „Can you separate the art from the artist?“. However, in this discussion I’d love for us to focus on our personal experience rather than debating how society should deal with art we don’t personally care about.
In this event, we’ll use experimental methods to structure our conversation and encourage insightful exchange.
Find out more in the FAQ below, or [send us an email](mailto:info@diskussions-experiment.de) if you have any questions!
+++++++++
**FAQ**
***What can I expect from the event?***
Each event is a an experiment so it’s difficult to predict exactly how it will play out or feel.
Our intention is always to create a space where conversations unfold more mindfully, relaxed, and insightful than they would in an unmoderated setting. To achieve this, we experiment with different rules, which may work better or worse at times :)
In any case, it’s always worth sticking around for a while after the moderated part – our participants are lovely, and it’s a great additional opportunity to exchange ideas
***Who is this event for?***
This event is for anyone who is curious about the topic and/or the method.
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 a name round as well as 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 welcome 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/) This project is run by [Igor Don](http://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-don) and Maria Scholze.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:
