Embedded Systems

A sharing circle for neurodivergent people navigating Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), and Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). **Location:** With the Rubbles of Old Palaces https://maps.app.goo.gl/ejMj3GFTinXv2djj7 The map on Meetup might not be accurate, please use the above link instead. **What to expect:** * Share info, vent, or just listen on others how hormonal fluctuations impact our lives, especially as neurodivergent individuals facing sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation, and executive function challenges. * The sharing circle will be moderated by **Anika Freitag**, a fellow neurodivergent person and biochemist who is also navigating hormonal fluctuation challenges. **IMPORTANT:** * **Please note:** This space welcomes neurodivergent people of all gender identities who menstruates. We use the term **menstruating people** to be inclusive of trans men, non-binary individuals, and others who menstruate. * **If you can’t attend, please edit your RSVP to give the spot to others people.** * Bring sensory tools (headphones, stimming toys, etc.), and we will have some available. * A quiet corner will be provided for breaks. * This event is for late-diagnosed adults (18+). * **The event is free but a donation is very much appreciated to contribute to the space that hosts us.** * **Community Disclaimer:** this event is a community-led initiative organized by neurodivergent volunteers who dedicate their time, energy, and resources to create a welcoming space. We strive to make our events as accessible as possible but we also have our own limitations. We kindly ask for your understanding and empathy, as we rely on the support and cooperation of all participants to foster a healthy, inclusive environment. See you!

This is the first gathering of the *Embodied Dissociation* meetup. The idea is simple: a small group of experienced meditators meeting outdoors in Berlin for structured, silent practice followed by discussion. The meeting place is **Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg**. The session will follow a fixed sequence with automatic timers: 10 minutes mettā, 20 minutes samatha, 30 minutes vipassanā. After the sit, there will be time for informal knowledge exchange—sharing observations, techniques, and approaches to practice. Bring something to sit on and dress for the weather. The format assumes prior meditation experience and the ability to sit quietly for the full duration.

**Join us for an afternoon of board games/card games, connection, and fun!** Location: Zwischenraume, formerly Curious Fabrications https://maps.app.goo.gl/v8tCPcZugTmRq8HN8 Whether you're a seasoned player or completely new to playing games, you're welcome here. We’ll teach you some of our favorites, or you can bring your own game and introduce it to others. **📖 What to Expect** * We’re passionate about board games and excited to share them with you! * No experience needed - we'll decide spontaneously which games we'll play depending on the games you bring and then guide you through the rules of games. We are **happy to help you choose a game** that suits you best. Some games are cooperative, while others are competitive—so there’s something for everyone! If you'd like, bring your own board or card game! Just be prepared to explain the rules to new players. We'll also have an extra silent room for noise sensitive people since some games can be very loud. 🔊 Arriving late? No problem! You may be able to join a game right away or there might be a short wait. 📖 **Event Guidelines** ❤ **Be kind and respectful**—we’re creating a safe and welcoming space together. 🧩 **Bring anything that helps you feel comfortable** (noise-canceling headphones, fidget toys, etc.). ☕ Since we’re meeting at a café, **please support the venue by ordering a snack or drink. Outside drinks or snacks are not permitted.** 📖 **Limited Spots & RSVPs** To keep the event enjoyable for everyone, we have a limited number of spaces available. If you RSVP and can no longer make it, please update your RSVP as soon as possible so someone else can take your spot. This helps us plan games and ensure everyone has a great time! Come as you are and enjoy a space where you can have fun, experience games, and connect with other neurodivergent folks. **We can’t wait to meet you!**

A small NEXUS gathering built around movement rather than discussion alone. This is for high-bandwidth Mavericks who spend most of their time in conceptual thought and need some physical counterweight. Why bouldering? Because it’s deliberate: short problems, full focus, and immediate feedback. You’re on the wall, solving something tangible. The mental noise drops instantly! Conversations happen naturally in between climbs. No pressure, you move at your own pace. Some exchanges stay light. Others go deep. Both are fine. This is not about athletic achievement. It’s about presence, recalibration, and being around people who don’t require you to shrink or translate yourself. Come as you are. Try some bouldering problems. Rest when needed, and engage where it makes sense. **Bring comfortable clothes and climbing shoes if you have them (rentals are available at the gym).** *Registration equals commitment. If you sign up, you show up. Read the group description first and decide consciously. For context about NEXUS, visit our* ***[website](https://thenexusformula.com)*** *and* ***[newsletter](https://news.thenexusformula.com)****.*

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

Ein Treffen für Frauen ab etwa 28, die spüren, dass mit mehr Klarheit auch der Wunsch nach Verbindungen wächst, die wirklich zu ihnen passen. Dieses Meetup ist ein offener Raum für ehrliche Begegnungen, echte Frauen Freundschaften, und weibliche Energie. Ohne Konkurrenz. Ohne Erwartungen. Bei Kaffee, Brunch oder Frühstück zusammenkommen und einfach wir selbst sein, spaß haben und vielleicht schon bald den nächsten trip planen. Ich wünsche mir selbst mehr weibliche Energie in meinem Alltag und weiß, dass ich damit nicht allein bin, deshalb freue ich mich auf euch und vielleicht ist das hier der Anfang einer neuen Sisterhood. 🎀

**Come together. Read. Talk about it.** Vielleicht liest du viel und vermisst Gespräche darüber. Vielleicht hast du Lust, neue Menschen kennenzulernen – in einem entspannten, ungezwungenen Rahmen. Lesen verbindet, und genau dafür ist dieser Club gedacht. Dieser *Social Reading Club* ist für Menschen, die gern lesen und sich genau das wünschen: mehr Zeit dafür – und Raum für Austausch mit anderen, die das genauso fühlen. Wir treffen uns in einem Café am **Platz der Luftbrücke in Kreuzberg**. Nicht als klassischer Buchclub mit Vorgaben oder Pflichtlektüre, sondern als gemeinsames Innehalten: jede\*r liest für sich, egal ob Zeitung, dicker Roman oder Sachbuch. Im eigenen Tempo. Danach kommen wir ins Gespräch – ganz natürlich, ohne Erwartung. Dein Handy kannst du dabei weglegen – ich behalte die Zeit für dich im Blick. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . **So sieht ein Treffen aus** Der Vormittag besteht aus **einer Leseeinheit**. Wir kommen an, bestellen etwas und richten uns ein. Dann lesen wir, zusammen, in Stille – konzentriert, jede\*r für sich. Zum Abschluss gibt es ein lockeres Kennenlernen und Austauschen – über das, was wir gerade lesen, und das, was es bei uns auslöst: Gedanken, Eindrücke, Stellen, die hängen geblieben sind. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . **ℹ️ Hinweise** * Wir treffen uns in einem Café und sind dort normale Gäste. Also plane bitte ein, dort etwas zu bestellen. * Die Teilnahme selbst ist vorerst kostenlos. * Als kleinen Ausgleich für die Organisation und um die monatlichen Meetup-Gebühren zu decken, freue ich mich über eine **kleine** **Spende** (Richtwert: 2 € bis 5 €) – gerne vor Ort in **bar** oder per **PayPal**. * Eine Vorbereitung ist nicht erforderlich. Alles, was du tun musst, ist, etwas zum Lesen mitzubringen. * Die Treffen finden auf Deutsch statt. 🇩🇪 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . **🗓️ Agenda** **11:00 Uhr** Ankommen, Einrichten & etwas bestellen **11:15 – 12:30 Uhr** Stille Leseeinheit (konzentriertes Lesen, jede\*r für sich – gerne Kopfhörer mitbringen, falls es im Café etwas voller wird) **12:30 – 13:30 Uhr** Austausch, Kennenlernen & Ausklang

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

Das ist zwar der zweite Teil, aber wer den ersten Teil verpasst hat, kann trotzdem teilnehmen. Wir werden wieder spontan ein Thema oder Problem auswählen und dann mehrere klassische Methoden der Philosophie daran ausprobieren. Das heißt, dass der Einstieg diesmal von mir geleitet wird, erst danach kann frei diskutiert werden. Durch diese Herangehensweise sollen den Teilnehmern Werkzeuge zur Handhabung des eigenen Lebens in die Hand gegeben werden. Denn Philosophie geht weit hinaus über Plauderei, heiße Luft oder abstrakte Glasperlenspiele. Philosophieren heißt auf eine bestimmte Art an sich selbst zu arbeiten. Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an alle - Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene. Dieses Event ist auch als Einführung für jene geeignet, die noch nicht viel mit Philosophie anfangen können. Aber selbst Kenner der Materie werden dieser Methodik etwas abgewinnen können. Als ein Werkzeug werde ich auch eine speziell "trainierte! KI anbieten. Wie immer: Schwurbler und Missionare für Rechts und Links-Außen, Esoteriker sowie andere "erleuchtete" Gruppierungen sind hier falsch.

**The Listening Room — First Gathering** So much of life happens in loud spaces and quick conversations that never quite go beneath the surface. The Listening Room is meant to be the opposite of that — a quieter space where people can slow down, talk honestly, and actually listen to one another. For this first gathering, we’ll meet in a small group and explore a simple conversation prompt together. The goal isn’t debate or performance — just thoughtful conversation and the chance to connect with others in a genuine way. Our prompt for this gathering will be: **When have you felt truly seen or understood by another person?** Everyone will have the opportunity to share if they’d like, but there’s absolutely no pressure — listening is just as valuable as speaking here. We’re keeping the group intentionally small so the conversation can feel relaxed and natural. Looking forward to meeting you. — Benny
