Spiritual and Psychic Experiences Meetup
First Gathering: Spiritual & Transformational Experiences Circle (Berlin)

This meetup is centered around authentic conversation and shared exploration. Topics may include twin flames, awakening experiences, intuition, psychic perception, energy phenomena, out of body experiences, spirit contact, expanded consciousness.
There is no requirement to âbelieveâ anything specific. Some people come with years of experience, others are simply curious or looking for others who understand what they see feel or hear.
The atmosphere is intended to be respectful, grounded, open-minded.
This will also be the beginning of what is planned as a recurring monthly gathering in Berlin for people interested in deeper spiritual and transformational experiences.
Feel free to come as you are.

Discover what is happening in the next few days
How does AI change me and my life right now?
**(Please note that we invite people through multiple channels, so there are more attendees than you can see here :)**
We talk a lot about how AI will change the world one day, but what can we observe right now?
How does it change our lives today â and how does it change us?
Does it enable us to do things that are good and important for us? Does it actually make us lose skills already? How does it change the way we speak, think and interact with each other?
In this event we want to collect micro observations â negative and positive ones â that we personally have made, and learn from each otherâs experiences.
As always, at this event we will try out new methods to make our discussion more focused, relaxed, and meaningful.
This event is co-organized and co-hosted by Gopika Nair, who participated in a previous event and then suggested organizing this one together.
Find out more in the FAQ below, or send us an email if you have any questions!
**This is a paid event. Entry costs 7⏠plus a fee that meetup charges.**
It is free however for regular guests (if you have been to 2 or more events) and you are also very welcome to join for free, if you currently have to be careful with money. DM us in that case.
**FAQ**
***What can I expect from the event?***
Each event is a an experiment so itâs 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, itâs always worth sticking around for a while after the moderated part â our participants are lovely, and itâs 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 donât need to prepare anything, have strong opinions, or be extroverted to take part.
***Do I have to actively participate, or can I just listen?***
Itâs 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.
***Whatâs the duration of the event?***
This event is for anyone who is curious about it.
We aim to create spaces where people of all ages, identities, and backgrounds feel welcome.
You donât need to prepare anything, have strong opinions, or be extroverted to take part.
***Whatâs 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 our [website.](https://diskussions-experiment.de/en/home/) This project is run by [Igor Don](http://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-don) and Maria Scholze.

AWS Women's User Group Berlin: June Event - AI Agents in Production
**The AWS Womenâs User Group Berlin** is thrilled to invite you to our upcoming meetup sponsored by Storm Reply focused on **Building production-ready AI agents for real-world impact.**
Join us for a deep dive into how to build, observe, and evaluate AI agents at scale. Youâll also see how these ideas come to life in a real-world climate-smart agriculture solution that turns weather forecasts into actionable field guidance. Whether youâre building agentic systems today or planning what comes next, this meetup will give you practical insights into making AI agents work in production.
**Speaker Info**
**Keynote Talk**
**Speaker:** Tetiana Senna
**Position:** Team Lead / Senior Project Manager, Storm Reply
**Talk Title:** Trust, but Verify: Observability and Evaluations for AWS Agents
**Abstract:** Getting an AI agent to work in a demo is easy. Knowing whether it still works in production - after the next prompt change, the next model upgrade, the next edge case - is the hard part. Unit tests don't cover non-deterministic behavior, and manually reviewing a handful of runs doesn't scale.
This talk walks through the two practices that close that gap: observability (understanding what actually happened inside your agent) and evaluation (deciding whether the outcome was any good). We'll dig into Amazon Bedrock AgentCore's Observability and Evaluations capabilities, compare the proven evaluation approaches - built-in LLM-as-a-Judge evaluators for automatic quality monitoring, and custom evaluators for business-specific correctness checks - with a candid look at what each one is good for, where it falls short, and what it costs to run at scale. We'll also take a close look at AgentCore Optimization, AWS's newly previewed feature in this space.
**Applied Agentic AI Talk**
**Speakers:**
**Vidhu Mitra Malladi:** Senior Software Engineer, Yara Digital Farming
**Chamika Hasanthi:** Senior Software Engineer, Yara Digital Farming
**Talk Title:** Weather Risk Intelligence Agent for farmers & Agronomist
Abstract: Unpredictable weather events â heavy rainfall, drought, frost, and heatwaves pose significant risk to crop yield and fertilizer efficiency. While forecast data is widely available, it is rarely translated into timely; field-level guidance farmers can act upon.
Using AWS AgentCore framework and AI capabilities, we can turn weather predictions into clear agronomic actions, supporting climate-smart agriculture at scale.
**You'l learn:**
* Implementation of the solution using AWS Agent Core framework
* Architecture of the project.

AI-Monitoring beyond Visibility: What Does ChatGPT Really Think About You?
Most brands track whether they appear in ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews. But mentions and citations only tell half the story.
In this session, Raoul Schreck, our CEO at Buzzmatic will show you how to systematically analyze what AI actually says about your brand: which attributes it assigns to you, which USPs it credits to your competitors, and where your communicative blind spots are.
Using a real client case and a concrete 4-layer framework, youâll learn how to move beyond visibility tracking and uncover the narratives AI systems are building around your brand â and what to do about them the next morning.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but thatâs not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analystâs daily practice.
Sometimes itâs as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. Thereâs many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, weâll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. Youâll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.
**About Our Speaker:**
[Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas donât quite line up yet.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it âseems good,â and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, weâll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. Weâll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
Weâll cover:
* Why âit looks goodâ is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works â and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, youâll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
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 âpin the blameâ on someone or something. If you donât 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, donât 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 youâve 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 âeraseâ the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isnât 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 âcorrosive criticismâ or the need to invalidate self or others?
⢠How one can stably change oneâs 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 oneâs own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or oneâs 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 âstoredâ and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can âeraseâ 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 âtoxicâ personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you wonât 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!
