MamaRaum. Die Krabbelgruppe in der es um DICH geht Für Mamas, die – neue Wege gehen wollen. – alte Muster brechen wollen, anstatt Kinder. – gemeinsam mit ihrem Kind wachsen wollen. – bereit sind, nach innen zu schauen. – sich eine tiefe Verbindung zu sich selbst und ihrem Kind wünschen. Während die Babys (0-14 Monate) in einer vorbereiteten Umgebung spielen und entdecken, geht es für dich um inneres Hinschauen, persönlichen Wachstum, Austausch und Unterstützung unter Mamas, die den gleichen Weg gehen: Den Weg des bewussten ElternSeins. ### **Ein Raum für DICH** Mit einem Baby beginnt nicht nur ein neues Kapitel im Außen – auch im Inneren bewegt sich unglaublich viel. Elternschaft bringt uns oft in Kontakt mit unserer Vergangenheit, alten Mustern, ungelebten Bedürfnissen und Grenzen, die wir selbst nie richtig lernen durften. In meiner **Krabbelgruppe für bewusste Mamas** geht es deshalb vor allem um **DICH**. Ein Raum für dich, deine Elternschaft und deine inneren Themen. Hier darfst du einfach du selbst sein: ehrlich, unperfekt, verbunden. Ein Raum, in dem du dich zeigen darfst mit allem, was dich bewegt – zwischen Schlafmangel, Selbstzweifeln und den großen Fragen rund um Mutterschaft und dein eigenes Wachstum. **Bewusstes ElternSein** beginnt mit dem Mut, uns selbst kennenzulernen – mit all den Prägungen, Mustern, Gefühlen und Geschichten, die in uns wirken. Wenn wir dem bewusst sind, können wir unser Kind wirklich sehen und das Verhalten tiefer verstehen. So entsteht tiefes Verständnis und **Verbindung**; zu dir selbst und zu deinem Kind. **Bewusstes ElternSein** heißt: 🤍 Dich selbst und deine Muster besser zu verstehen. 🤍 Alte Bindungstraumata und Themen zu lösen 🤍 Reaktive Muster zu durchbrechen und neue Wege zu gehen. 🤍 Dein Kind wirklich zu sehen und tiefer zu verstehen. 🤍 Elternschaft von einem Ort der Verbindung aus zu führen 🤍 In einer verbindenden Beziehung, liebevoll herausfordernde Situationen zu begleiten Für Eltern, die spüren: *„Ich will es anders machen !“* **Struktur und Ablauf** 🔹 **7 Termine** in einer festen, vertrauensvollen Gruppe von maximal 12 Teilnehmerinnen 🔹 **1,5 h geleitete Einheit + 30 Min. offener Einstieg/Ausstieg** 🔹 Für Mamas mit Babys von **0 bis 14 Monaten** 🔹 Orte: **Hebammenladen Prenzlauer Berg** (Stargarder Str. 49, 10437 Berlin) Uhrzeit: 9:30 – 11:30 Uhr Termine: 7 Termine – immer montags: **MamaRaum April:** 13.4., 20.4., 27.04; 04.05; 11.05; 18.05, 01.06 **MamaRaum Juni:** 08.06., 15.06., 22.06., 29.06., 06.07., 13.07., 20.07., **MamaRaum August:** 24.8., 31.8., 7.9., 14.9., 21.9., 28.9., 5.10. **Ablauf:** **15min Offener Anfang:** Hier hast du Zeit anzukommen, deinen Platz vorzubereiten und dich mit den anderen Mamas zu connecten. **1,5 Stunden Workshop:** Eine runde Mischung aus Input, Impulsen, Reflexion und Übungen. Die Schwerpunkte werden immer auf die Gruppe angepasst. Es soll hier schließlich um das gehen, was für dich relevant ist. Dein Kind kann in der Zeit wach sein oder auch in der Trage o.ä. schlafen. Für die wachen Kinder stehen, je nach Alter Spielsachen o.ä. zur Verfügung. **15min Offener Ausstieg:** Austausch, Aufräumen, Abschied nehmen Weitere Infos: https://melissa-macke.com/krabbelgruppe2/

We’ll be meeting up with fellow ***Sketchers & Artists*** to practice our ***quick sketching skills while enjoying nature,*** we’ll be walking a short ***2-3 kilometers*** into Grunewald, and along the Grunewaldsee. Nature is slowly waking up from its winter slumber, with moss, ivy and pine being the primary shades of green you’ll see. We’re taking this opportunity to do a series of ***quick sketches focused on shading***. You can draw what you choose, or even bring a camera to do some photography as well. As the trees are mostly still without their leaves, ***we’ll be focusing on details like moss covered logs, small wooden bridges, a sandbar along the lake and reeds growing at the lake shore***. You will also have the opportunity to sketch a scene of the ***Jagdschloos Grunewald***, seen best from across the lake due to ongoing construction. * If this is your first time sketching or 100th time sketching, you can find subjects that are right for you. ***You don’t need to be a professional at all!*** You should just want to practice your sketching skills while meeting new people, and hopefully sketching a bit better than you did the day before. * If this is your first time to Grunewaldsee, please be aware many locals have their dogs off leash in the area. * We will be stopping to do multiple 15 min sketches with the goal of improving our quick sketching skills. ***Quick sketching is a foundational sketching skill*** that seeks to simplify a scene while communicating the necessary details for a viewer to see and feel a scene or detail. This weekend, we’ll be focusing especially on the art of shading, and how it can be used to add a little extra pop to our sketches. These are sketching skills that can be applied across artistic mediums. * Bring your preferred drawing medium for short ***quick sketches***, and meet up with fellow nature sketchers. There are benches in the area, but you may wish to bring a small chair or cushion to make things more comfortable. * The drawings are purely for fun, and to get to know other artists and hobbyists in the area! * (This meet-up does *not* include entry to the Jagdschloos Grunewald) * Join us at 13:00 at the König-Louise-Straße Bus Stop (115, X10, N10, X83) near the Waldbaude Snack Bar (Clayallee 91, 14195 Berlin) with our host - Elizabeth, we’ll get to know one another and then set out as a group to sketch along the Grunewaldsee, it’s an out-and-back route along a lake with several opportunities for sketching, conversation and relaxing. We will sketch from 13:00-16:00 and then return to our meeting spot. ### 📲 Stay Connected Please do join our **WhatsApp / Telegram channels** for: * Event updates * Future trips & meetups * Early-bird discounts * Contests & giveaways 1.

**This is not your typical meetup.** This is vivid, a little challenging, sometimes awkward — and a lot of fun. This is for people who are curious enough to step slightly outside their comfort zone. We blend theatre with real life. Together, we improvise small scenes and playful interactions in public spaces — cafés, bars, and beyond. While we play, the public becomes the audience (without even noticing). **No acting experience needed.** **How it works** We start very simple and low-pressure. Easy exercises, getting comfortable, arriving as a group. Then, step by step, we move into more creative and playful situations in public. You can always choose your level of involvement. The idea is to warm up together first, then gradually explore more playful and slightly weird scenarios. **Important** Please only sign up if you actually plan to come. We keep the group small so every person matters. No matter how many people show up — we will do this. Group size Small group (around 6–12 people) Language English & German both welcome **Location** Herman Schulz – Berlin (Cash only – they don’t take cards) **The location may change, please check regularly**. hosted by dOminik ‐-----------‐----‐------- Das ist kein typisches Meetup. Wir verbinden Impro-Theater mit echtem Leben. Gemeinsam spielen wir kleine Szenen in öffentlichen Räumen – Cafés, Bars usw. Die Menschen um uns herum werden dabei (unbewusst) zum Publikum. **Keine Vorerfahrung nötig.** Wir starten sehr einfach und entspannt und steigern uns Schritt für Schritt. Zuerst Warm-up, dann kleine, spielerische Szenen draußen oder im Café. 👉 **Wichtig:** Bitte melde dich nur an, wenn du wirklich kommst. Die Gruppe ist klein und jede Person zählt. Egal wie viele wir sind – wir machen das. Sprache: Deutsch & Englisch Ort: Hermann Schulz – Berlin (Nur Barzahlung) **Die Location kann sich ändern. Schaut also regelmäßig nach.** hosted by dOminik

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Wednesday, April 22 at Streetlight Guild. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. **SCHEDULE:** 6:45ish - Quick introductions 7:00 - Timer starts: write for 1 hour 8:00 - The End **OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING** happens before and after the writing hour. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. **BEING LATE IS OKAY:** just show up and get settled! If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. Happy writing & I look forward to seeing you at Streetlight Guild! **WHAT SHOULD I BRING?** Whatever you need to be able to write! You're welcome to bring earplugs/headphones if noise will bother you! **OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS:** * **RSVP:** Please RSVP by 6:00pm the evening of the meeting. This helps me know how many to expect, and if we'll need additional space! * **COVID:** While masks are not required, please be mindful of the other writers around you and their comfort levels. * **WIFI/OUTLETS:** Outlets are limited, so please ensure your devices are charged when you come! But Streetlight Guild does have free WiFi! Yay! * **PARKING:** There is free public parking at Streetlight Guild.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus. Sponsored by [Transform Labs](https://www.transformlabs.com/services)

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!
