Sufi-Abend in Berlin ufaFabrik
Der Sufi-Abend in Berlin lädt die Menschen dazu ein, mehr über den Sufi-Weg des Islam und die Arbeit des Sufi-Zentrum Rabbaniyya zu erfahren. Die Abende werden von Einzelpersonen, Bildungseinrichtungen und Gruppen von Gemeinschaften aus anderen Religionen besucht. Der traditionelle Ablauf mit Sohbet-Ansprache und Dhikr-Meditation wird mit gelegentlichen Themenabenden, Workshops, musikalischen Lesungen und Gastvorträgen bereichert und verleiht so dem Sufi-Abend in Berlin seinen besonderen Reiz.
Geleitet werden die Abende von kompetenten VertreterInnen von Sheikh Eşref Efendi, die auch als Sprecher zu Bildungs- und öffentlichen Institutionen eingeladen werden und an den verschiedenen interreligiösen und interkulturellen Projekten der Stadt Berlin und weltweit teilnehmen.
Wir öffnen unsere Türen um 20:00 Uhr und beginnen pünktlich um 20:15 Uhr mit der traditionellen Sufi #Meditation beginnen, wie sie schon seit Jahrhunderten praktiziert wird. Nach einer kurzen Pause geht es mit einer #Sohbet, einer Sufi-Ansprache, weiter, denn der Weg der Sufis ist der Weg der Ansprache und der Gemeinschaft.
Folgt dem Ruf von #Mawlana #Rumi: Komm, Wer immer Du bist!

The Sufi Evening in Berlin invites people to learn more about the Sufi path of Islam and the work of the Sufi Centre Rabbaniyya. The evenings are attended by individuals, educational institutions and groups of communities from other religions. The traditional schedule with Sohbet address and Dhikr meditation is enriched with occasional theme evenings, workshops, musical readings and guest lectures, thus giving the Sufi Evening in Berlin its special charm.
The evenings are led by competent representatives of Sheikh Eşref Efendi, who are also invited to speak at educational and public institutions and participate in the various interfaith and intercultural projects of the city of Berlin and worldwide.
We open our doors at 20:00 and start punctually at 20:15 with the traditional Sufi #Meditation as it has been practiced for centuries. After a short break, we will continue with a #Sohbet, a spiritual conversation, because the Sufi way is conversation with the Sheikh and gathering with community.
**Follow the call of #Mawlana #Rumi: Come, Whoever You Are!**

Real Long Term Friendship
Nice! You are looking for real long time friendship! You might have already lived in Berlin or other big cities and experienced the "Anonymous" culture for a while. Meeting random people over and over and never see the same person again! In order to find "Real Long Term Friendship" in Berlin, do as follows:
* You should not care how many people are joining this meetup.
You RVSP. Even if only one person is joining. Because if everyone are waiting for everyone else to RVSP, nobody joins and nobody finds a new friend.
* You do not care how many people of the opposite sex are joining.
You are looking for friends. Finding the best romantic partner in the world, while avoiding not very attractive others, can be your other goal, for another time. Here we are looking for Friends. Real ones.
* You are going to risk a very precious property of yours: Your time!
Yes, there are thousands of opportunities in Berlin, there might be a rock concert for free, a birthday party you might miss, an important person might call you and invite you spontaneously, but you never find new friends until you decide to risk your time and meet people anyway. "I will check my calendar and get back to you" also does not work. Commit your time and spend it. Trust me, you won't go bankrupt ;-)
* You are ready to use your phone as a real phone!
You might have been using your phone as a tablet to visit Instagram and Facebook and watch movies. But if you want to find friends, you must know that people might take your phone number and give you theirs. That means they will Call you! And you have to pick up the phone and answer it. If you want to find new friends, you must be ready to do something really hard for the first time after years: Call people first, and if they called you: Answer your phone!
* You are going to meet some people twice!
That's the point of friendship. We already can experience random encounters with random people in random places one at a time. But that is not called friendship. If you want friends, you must be ready to meet the same person more than once.
If you agree with above, RVSP and COME! You will meet other people who think the same way.
P.S: Now that you've read all the way down to here, I suggest you [watch this animation](https://player.vimeo.com/video/547249272?h=22f3dd0f6f).

Risky Business
...and speaking of breakthrough roles: who can forget the first time we saw Tom Cruise singing Bob Seeger in his underwear? Often considered an updated 1983 version of The Graduate, the movie sparkles with memorable lines and original music. I only regret that I was never told that "Princeton could use someone like Bob..."

IN PERSON in Columbus: Creative Deal Autopsies + Wholesaling 101
(Note: RSVPing here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you'll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-PERSON-in-Columbus-Creative-Deal-Autopsies-Wholesaling-101-14-4-7-2026)**.)
The market changed—and most investors are still operating like it didn't.
Deals that used to work don't.
Buyers want different things.
And a lot of what's being taught right now is outdated or just wrong.
And, since 2011, it's been our job to make sure that our members are armed with the most up-to-date, real-world strategies for building wealth in Central Ohio real estate…
…so our mission with this meeting (and every meeting) is to give you the no-hype, warts-and-all info you need to succeed.
First, Wholesaling 101—a clear, real-world look at how wholesaling actually works today, what to pay, and how to stay out of trouble.
Then, Creative Deal Autopsies—real investors breaking down real deals with real numbers, real conversations, and real outcomes.
You'll also get the chance to put the presenters in the hot seat and ask any and every question you have about how they did their deals.
You'll learn:
1. What wholesaling actually is
2. How to calculate real offers
3. Where deals are coming from now
4. What buyers want
5. How creative deals are structured
6. What contracts and terms are used
7. What can go wrong—and how to avoid it
**Agenda:**
5:00–6:00: Free Light Dinner and Networking
6:00: Earlybird Meeting – Wholesaling 101
7:00: Buy-Sell-Trade (members only)
7:30: Creative Deal Autopsies
Members: Free
First-time guests: Free
Non-members: $35 (or join for $30 instead)
Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-PERSON-in-Columbus-Creative-Deal-Autopsies-Wholesaling-101-14-4-7-2026)** and register on our website!
