**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.

**A Yin Yoga & Hypnosis Journey for Emotional Release** This 2-hour women’s circle is designed to gently soften those frozen places — in the body, the heart, and the nervous system. Through **long-held Yin Yoga postures**, we’ll invite the body to release stored tension and emotions. Yin works deeply with the connective tissues and the nervous system, helping us let go without force. From this grounded, open state, we’ll move into a **guided hypnosis journey**, allowing the mind to rest and the subconscious to release old patterns that are ready to dissolve. **WHAT THE 2 HOURS INCLUDE** **Yin Yoga for Emotional Release** Long, supported postures focused on hips, pelvis, spine, and heart — areas where women often hold unprocessed emotions. **Nervous System Regulation** Slow transitions, breath awareness, and stillness to move out of survival mode. **Guided Hypnosis Journey** A gentle, safe inner journey to: * release emotional stagnation * reconnect with inner warmth and clarity * create space for what wants to emerge next **Closing Integration** A short sharing or grounding ritual to help you return feeling clear, lighter, and more connected. **This circle is for you if:** * you feel emotionally or energetically stuck * your body feels heavy or tense * you want to release without talking too much * you’re craving softness instead of pushing * you want a gentle transition toward spring No prior yoga or hypnosis experience needed. **PRACTICAL DETAILS** * **Duration:** 2 hours * **Style:** Gentle, slow, deeply supportive * **Bring:** Comfortable clothes, a blanket, a journal (optional) * **Women-only space** Energy Exchange: 15 euros

Close your eyes. Reach out your hand. Pick four cards. Hand them to the reader. As the reader turns each card, curious symbols are revealed: The King. The Devil. The Hanged man. For each person the cards, and their combination confess a complex inner reality. Cartomancy goes back centures in recorded history. The Carte da Trionfi date to the 1400s. The Tarocchi or Taro date to the 1500s. Yet, the true history of what is know today as Tarot, is buried in the teeth of time. Whatever the cards are called, Jung and many of his students recognised that Tarot can bring out depths of the psyche in surprising ways. In this session, we will explore the Tarot and its relation to Jungian psychology. The session will be facilitated with the help of Jasmin Pront, a professional Tarot card reader. You can find more about Jasmin and her work at https://www.tarotbyjasmin.de/.

**👁 The third eye 👁** “*Opening the third eye” means integrating the right and the left. It means bringing together the judgement and discrimination which characterizes the left side with the openness and access to the intuitive world that characterizes the right. It means putting an end both to dry, sterile intellectualization as well as to superstition and “hunches.” It means bringing together these two partial, inaccurate ways of knowledge into an integrated whole that is more profound and penetrating.*” (Swami Rama) **The third eye is a legend - from the (infamous) tales of Lobsang T. Rampa protecting the Dalai Lama by means of clairvoyance - through the mental control centre from the yogic tradition - the myth of how Shiva burned down the God of Love Kama Deva with his third eye - to the stages of awakening and the relationship between heart and mind.** **Let’s share for an afternoon about what the third eye is, and how our practice, our aspirations and experiences might relate to it.** “*When Ma* [the Goddess Tara] *kisses you, though, She will kiss you on your forehead at the location of your third eye, which She causes to open. This is the kiss of enlightenment, the kiss of true Motherhood, and the day Ma gives you this kiss you become filled with Her Divine Intelligence.*” (Vimalananda) 💫 **What this event offers for you:** * Guided Meditations for arriving, calming the mind and tuning into your intuition * Meeting people interested in spirituality (all levels) * Safe Space for sharing - non-hierarchical and non-judgemental * Opportunity to ask just about any question **👀 You may watch one or few of the following Videos for inspiration:** * Sadhguru on "Opening the third eye": [https://youtu.be/b1AiG1a8ft0?si=J3eBFW7r6o_Tw7yd](https://youtu.be/b1AiG1a8ft0?si=J3eBFW7r6o_Tw7yd) * Sri M on "the third eye": [https://youtu.be/sDgL-jRHNXo?si=VC-N9xpXds7NKCK-](https://youtu.be/sDgL-jRHNXo?si=VC-N9xpXds7NKCK-) * Guru Viking Podcast on the infamous Lobsang T. Rampa aka Cyril Hoskin and his book "The third eye": [https://youtu.be/vOfs8Xo9yMg?si=oJu0ndtbl3A-HLFP](https://youtu.be/vOfs8Xo9yMg?si=oJu0ndtbl3A-HLFP) **🧘 About the Organizer** Martin is a certified Mindfulness Teacher, Systemic Coach, Yogi and Altruist by heart who teaches Meditation and Martial Arts in different formats. However, in this meetup Martin focuses on the altruistic intention to open a space for people to share while offering as much facilitation as needed in the moment. “*Trataka is a form of meditation in which one stares fixedly at an object. If done properly trataka can open the third eye. In Treta Yuga people use trataka to obtain prana from the sun; they eat with their eyes. They communicate with glances and make romance with significant looks. This ability exists together with telepathy, which is only possible after the third eye is opened.*” (Vimalananda)

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!

Come join us for coffee at Matari Coffee to discuss our March book, "The Enchanted Greenhouse"! Book description: Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium. This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes—at least until she’s ready to sail home. But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to—the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing—causing the death of everything within them—Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again. This time, though, she isn’t alone. Assisted by the gardener and a sentient rose, Terlu must unravel the secrets of a long-dead sorcerer if she wants to save the island—and have a fresh chance at happiness and love.

This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard
