**Authentische Ehrlichkeit - Ein Einführungs-Workshop** **💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag vor Ort: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)** . \-\-\-\-\-\-\- . Gute Freundschaften leben von Ehrlichkeit & Vertrauen. . Gute Freunde kennen sich, wie ihre linke Westentasche: ihr Leben, ihre Gefühle, ihre Wünsche, ihre Einstellungen, ihre guten & ihre schlechten Seiten. . Gute Freunde können „Ja“ sagen, wenn es ein „Ja“ ist; und sie können „Nein“ sagen, wenn es ein „Nein“ ist. . Gute Freunde können sich sagen, was sie aneinander mögen, und sie können sich sagen, was sie nicht so toll finden. . **🙂 Ehrlichkeit als Basis guter Beziehungen** Ehrlichkeit ist die Basis, damit Nähe und Verbindung entstehen kann. . Sich hinter Masken und (unbewussten) Lügen zu verstecken steht dieser Verbindung im Weg. . Ich glaube alle Beziehungen im Leben werden vertrauensvoller, wenn man miteinander ehrlich ist: Liebensbeziehungen, Arbeitsbeziehungen, Freundschaften und selbst die Beziehung zur Bedienung im Café. . **🍀 Dieser Abend ist eine Einführung in die Ehrlichkeit.** Du erfährst, * warum „Lügen“ mehr ist als das bewusste Verdrehen von Fakten. * wie Du im Leben mehr von dem bekommst, was Du wirklich willst, weil Du Dich auf Ehrlichkeit einlässt. An diesem Abend werden wir in kleinen Schritten Ehrlichkeit üben, auch in unbequemen Situationen. . Du nimmst praktische Ehrlichkeitsübungen mit, die Du sofort im Alltag und in Deinen Freundschaften umsetzen kannst. **🧡 Zwei Worte über Ehrlichkeit** Ich habe mich lange versteckt, wollte meine schwachen Seiten, meine Ängste, Gefühle & Unzufriedenheiten nicht zeigen – immer mit der Angst, abgelehnt zu werden. . Irgendwann stieß ich auf Radikale Ehrlichkeit und buchte ein Wochenendseminar. Es war so befreiend! . Meine Erfahrungen findest Du hier: [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht) . Danach habe ich das 8-Tages-Retreat gemacht, wo es wirklich ans Eingemachte ging. . Ich habe festgestellt, dass Ehrlichkeit meine Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen deutlich verbessert. . Gleichzeitig fühle ich mich deutlich wohler, weil ich mich nicht mehr verstecke. Ich bekomme meine Probleme gelöst (weil ich darüber spreche) und meine Wünsche erfüllt (weil ich darüber spreche). . Dieser Workshop ist mein Einstiegsbeitrag zu mehr Ehrlichkeit in Beziehungen und Freundschaften. . #### 👱🏼‍♂️ Über mich: * Mein Name ist Georg Preller * Ich bin Betreiber der Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](http://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de) * Ausgebildeter NLP-Lehrtrainer ([DVNLP](https://www.dvnlp.de/)) & Coach * Jahrelang selbstständiger Unternehmensberater * Eigene Vita: Von schüchternen Jungen zum fitten Mann * Mehr über mich: [LinkedIn - Georg Preller](https://www.linkedin.com/in/georg-preller/) . **⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:15 Uhr.** Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's... . **❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?** Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt. Hier schon, mit Tiefgang. . Einige kommen immer wieder, um die kleinen Übungen nochmals im gesicherten Rahmen auszuprobieren oder aus Neugier, wie andere ihre authentische Ehrlichkeit leben. . Das Workshopprogramm ist auch jedesmal etwas anderes - je nach Gruppe und zunehmenden Erfahrungen. . **🎒 Was bringst Du mit?** * Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!) * Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben * Bargeld für Wertschätzungbeitrag . **🏠 Der Veranstaltungsraum** * Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum in Berlin Mitte * saubere Toiletten * Gut mit Öffis zu erreichen nähe Hackescher Markt * Vor Ort ist alles ausgeschildert. . **Wegbeschreibung vor Ort:** * Vor Ort ist alles augeschildert. Vorsichtshalber hier eine Wegbeschreibung * Du klingest bei Hausnummer 28 bei Kieztreff * Du gehst in den Hinterhof und dort nach links * Dort klingelst Du und es wird Dir geöffnet. * Ich freu mich auf Dich! . **👋🏽 Weitere Gruppen & Kontaktmöglichkeiten** . **✈ Telegram-Kanal: [t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft](http://t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft)** für Events, Workshops & Treffpunkte für neue Freundschaften . **✉ Freundschafts-Newsletter:** [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter) Alle 4 Wochen das Neuste aus der Freundschaftsforschung; oft seltener, denn ich schreibe nur dann, wenn es wirklich etwas zu berichten gibt. . **🔥 6 Zutaten großartiger Freundschaften** Seit 2020 forsche ich, was großartige Freundschaften wirklich ausmacht.

**Touch and Move: Improvising Contact, creating Community** with ***Jochen Kleres and/or Zahiro Ji*** for **GBTQ men\*** **[BOOK A TICKET!](https://wearevillage.org/shop/touch-and-move/w18-2026)** **Member: 10 €** **Non Member: 15 €** This is a class for GBTQ men\* with all levels of experience, from total newbies to advanced. We meet and begin by checking in with each other, followed by a guided exploration moving from somatic practice to contact dance improvisation. This all culminates in opening the space for the free flow of dancing and explorations in duos, trios and as a group. Bodywork will help us to warm down at the end and integrate what we experienced. Dance is our way to create a space for exploration: what happens when queer men’s bodies meet and get in touch without any expectations and intentions? In Contact Improvisation, touch is the source of finding dance movements. It helps you to be open to the here and now, to surprises, to letting go of performing roles, meeting expectations, and following scripts. Any movement can be part of this dance, no matter how simple – we literally move any way we feel. This creates a conversation without words, simply through our moving bodies. Feeling ourselves by sensing others can create nourishing bonds of community as much as it liberates us. We emphasise consensus, respect, diversity of people and energies, listening, and a non-judgmental space. **General Information** • Wear comfortable clothes. • We’ll speak English and/or German, depending on the needs of the group. • This event is one of two free events included each month in the membership programme. 🔵 Dies ist ein Kurs für GBTQ Männer\* mit allen Erfahrungsstufen, von absoluten Neulingen bis zu Fortgeschrittenen. Wir treffen uns und beginnen mit einem gegenseitigen Kennenlernen, gefolgt von einer angeleiteten Erkundung, die von somatischer Praxis zu Kontakttanzimprovisationen führt. Von hier aus öffnen wir den Raum für den freien Fluss des Tanzes und der Erkundungen in Duos, Trios und als Gruppe. Mit Hilfe von Bodywork wärmen wir uns zum Schluss auf und integrieren das Erlebte. Tanz ist unsere Art, einen Raum für Erkundungen zu schaffen: Was passiert, wenn sich die Körper queerer Männer treffen und ohne Erwartungen und Absichten in Berührung kommen? In der Contact Improvisation ist die Berührung der Ursprung, um Tanzbewegungen zu entdecken. Sie hilft dir, offen zu sein für das Hier und Jetzt, für Überraschungen, für das Loslassen von Rollen, Erwartungen und Vorschriften. Jede Bewegung kann Teil dieses Tanzes sein, egal wie einfach – wir bewegen uns so, wie wir uns tatsächlich fühlen. So entsteht eine Konversation ohne Worte, einfach durch unsere bewegten Körper. Uns selbst zu spüren, indem wir andere spüren, kann ein ebenso wertvolles Gemeinschaftsgefühl, wie ein Gefühl von Befreiung schaffen. Wir legen Wert auf Konsens, Respekt, die Vielfalt der Menschen und Energien, das Zuhören und einen urteilsfreien Raum. **Hinweise** • Trage bequeme Kleidungen • Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. • Diese Veranstaltung zählt zu den zwei kostenfreien Veranstaltungen pro Monat für Mitglieder.

The course will start this Saturday at 10am. It will be in studio R at CCB studios. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rFovxE7eG7HV6uB46). Buzz for CCB studios and then walk through to the second courtyard. We will try to start right around 10. There will be tea available. Please dress in comfortable clothes, maybe wearing a few layers. Theres some blankets, yoga mats, cushions and chairs in the room that you can use. The plan will be for us to do some small discussions at the top and then start discussing theory before doing some meditations of increasing length and then closing with some time for Q & A. We will take a short break in the middle as well. The plan is to go from 10-12 roughly but we may end a little closer to 11:30 depending. This week will function primarily as a simple introduction to meditation and some topics in the space but we will also discuss what the Jhanas are. Looking forward! Any questions please just message me.

**⚠️ IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION MANDATORY ⚠️** Registration on **Luma** is **REQUIRED** to attend this event. **Link: https://luma.com/q57evozo?utm_source=meetup** Your registration is subject to host approval. You must complete the registration process on lu.ma to receive the full event location details and confirmation of your attendance. **Please note: Without approved registration on Luma, you will NOT be able to access the event location or attend.** We are excited to host a **BLISS x dida** workshop featuring **Elias Trommer** from **Infineon**, who will guide us through an interactive session on Embedded AI. ​​​ **Title:** Deep Learning Models on 5€ microcontrollers 📅 **Date:** 29.04.2026 🕕 **Time:** 18:00 📍 **Location:** TU Berlin Marchstrasse 23 [Room 0.011] ​​​The session will last around 2 hours, followed by a networking session with **dida** and fellow AI enthusiasts (and free pizza!🍕). Bring your laptop! *** ​**Abstract**: In this workshop, we will discuss the unique challenges (and solutions) faced when deploying Deep Learning models to embedded microcontrollers. These tiny devices are increasingly capable of running models, even for relatively complex use cases, but come without many of the comforts of a classic computer. When deploying a model to a microcontroller, a much deeper understanding of the physical hardware and good knowledge of the various optimization paths that help reduce the resource consumption of an application is needed. We aim to shed some light on how to deploy models to these cheap, ubiquitous and sometimes surprisingly capable little pieces of hardware. ​**In this session, we will cover:** * ​Important differences between a desktop/server and a bare-metal embedded system * ​Quantization for model compression * ​Anatomy of an Embedded Application * ​Embedded ML Inference Engines and how to run them * ​Deploying a model step by step ​**Who is this event for?** This session is targeted at anyone with basic ML knowledge. Experience with C and embedded systems is probably helpful, but not required. We will cover the most important aspects as part of the workshop. **⚡ FINAL REMINDER ⚡** **You MUST register and be approved on Luma to attend.

Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.
