Talk & Workshop - **Exploring The Inner Commons** a deep dive into personal sustainability by Scott Bolden, Founder of Baumhaus Berlin Workshop from 18:30 - 20:00 If you really want to make the world a better place then a great place is to start with yourself because no matter where you go or what you do, you can not escape yourself... Besides, doesn't it make sense that a truly sustainable society would be composed of more balanced individuals? **The Inner Commons is an intuitively understandable, flexible and contextual framework** developed by Scott Bolden that can be used to catalyze a process of self understanding and resolving common issues we all deal with. The concepts discussed in this workshop are based on simple, root level, universal experiences of the human condition and a bit of common sense. Because of this, insights that participants gain about themselves can also provide insights to understanding and resolving issues with others as well. Requirements: comfortable clothing, a notebook and an open mind... Please confirm participation with a short email to info@baumhausberlin.de with the subject: Inner Commons Donate-as-you-feel after the workshop (includes coffee, tea, water & snacks) We ask participants to consider: • their personal budget • the value of their experiences during the workshop in the Baumhaus • the value of supporting the Baumhaus so that we can continue facilitating these and various other types of experiences \-\-\-\-\- support Baumhaus crowdfunding campaign ( https://www.goodcrowd.org/saving-das-baumhaus ) Baumhaus Berlin Gerichtstr. 23 VH Eg 13347 Berlin

A gentle group experience to calm the nervous system, reconnect to the body, and restore presence. No prior experience required. Many of us carry stress, overwhelm, or disconnection in the body — especially after a busy year. This session offers a grounded, calming group experience that supports nervous system regulation, embodied presence, and felt ease — held in a small group of up to 8 people. This is about coming back into your body with safety and comfort, not performance or intensity. A gentle space to slow down, release stress, and reconnect with yourself. No experience needed — simply show up as you are. Each session combines grounding, breath, somatic awareness, and subtle energetic work, supporting a deeper sense of calm and inner presence. 💫 What you may experience ✔ grounding and centering ✔ nervous system relaxation ✔ somatic awareness ✔ gentle energetic support ✔ emotional release ✔ deep rest ✔ connection with your inner space ✨ This is for you if… – you feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed – you feel disconnected from your body – you are in a period of transition – you are curious about energy work (in a gentle, grounded way) – you want to relax and reset 🧘 What happens during the session We begin with grounding and breath, followed by guided awareness and a gentle group energetic transmission. You mostly rest, breathe, and notice — there is nothing you need to do or achieve. 🌀 Benefits people often report – calmer mind – emotional relief – improved body awareness – clarity or insight – feeling lighter – deeper rest or sleep 📍 Location Osmos Studio – Neukölln Okerstraße 38, Berlin 🎟 Tickets Standard: 25 € 🤍 Beginners welcome No prior experience required.

**Welcome to a new Mask-making Workshop!** As Carnival approaches, we are excited to invite you to a new, two-day hands-on mask-making workshop inspired by folk devils, spirits, and popular mythological figures from Latin America and Central America. This workshop combines cultural references, imagination, and craft, inviting participants to create their own expressive folk mask using recycled materials. No previous experience is required. In this context, devils are not symbols of evil. They represent creative **chaos, irony, protection, transformation, and vital force.** These figures often blur the line between human, animal, and spirit, appearing as guardians of the land, playful tricksters, or exaggerated reflections of social power and fear. **Day 1: Symbols, Archetypes & Design** We begin with a short cultural introduction about what the “devil” represents in Latin American folk traditions. We will explore visual examples from traditional masks and popular celebrations: folk spirits, tricksters, and hybrid animal–human figures. We will then choose a personal archetype to work with. Using a template as a base, and through quick sketches, we will design and define: •⁠ ⁠Expression: rage, irony, mystery, laughter. •⁠ ⁠Horns, nose, fangs, beard, beaks, ears, snouts •⁠ ⁠Human, animal, or hybrid forms By the end of Day 1, each participant will have a clear mask concept and begin **building the base structure with recycled cardboard and paper-maché**, which will be left to dry before the second session. **Day 2 — Painting & Finishing** We will bring the masks to life through finishing, colour, textures, and expressive accents. You will get insights on choosing your colour palette, mixing colours and painting with acrylic to get different finishing effects. The workshop closes with a collective sharing moment, where participants can present the character, spirit, or creature behind their mask. **Dates:** Friday 20 + 27.02.26 from 5 to 8PM. **Address:** In Friedrichshain. Exact address by e-mail. **Price:** 110€/ 90€ for regular students. Materials are included as well as drinks and snacks. **Materials:** All basic materials are included (Cardboard, paper, paste, papier-mâché, acrylic colours, fabric and thread, natural elements such as seeds, wood, fibres, or decorative details) We encourage you to bring your unique elements (your own special colours, personal materials or objects, small found items, fabrics, feathers, textures, or symbolic elements connected to your mask) **How to sign up?** Please send an email to **hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com,** and you will receive the registration form with all the details of payment and the exact address. Limited spots. About the teacher: **Rosi Diaz Roigt** is a graphic designer and illustrator with over 7 years of experience working with film production teams, bringing fictional characters to life through graphic design, prop creation, and movie posters. Passionate about art and sustainability, she specialises in exploring the creative possibilities of recycled materials.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** [https://youtube.com/live/_jF8rIaJKXg?feature=share](https://youtube.com/live/_jF8rIaJKXg?feature=share)

**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.
