Astrology Cafe - connect with the inner Life
🎊 2026 – such an astrologically momentous year! With significant planetary shifts and super rare cosmic alignments on the horizon, there's no better time to deepen your connection with yourself and understand what this unbelievable year has in store.
**Why Astrology?**
Astrology is a symbolic language 🌌 and, as such, it is the ideal method for understanding and connecting with our unconscious. If you want to get to know yourself better and strengthen the connection to your inner wisdom and creativity, then this session is for you. 💫
**What Makes This Different:**
This is not a classical teaching event. Rather, what you can expect here is a fun, guided experience, mixing astrology with **creative journaling** ✍️ and **meditative reflection** 🧘. You will get a chance to flex your intuitive muscles and also meet some like-minded seekers and thinkers. After this session, you will understand how astrology can be used to forge a deeper connection with yourself and access more of the magic you carry.
**What to Expect:**
This cozy session will give you the chance to connect with peers and become more mindful of your astrology journey through deeper understanding and perspectives. Every week we are working on a different topic, question, chart placement, etc. Feel free to become a regular, or drop by whenever you wish.
🌙 We will begin the session with an introduction of all participants
⭐ We will then guide you through various exercises in small groups, meant to help you to explore the wealth that astrology has in store for you.
💬 The session will conclude with an open discussion, and a chance to ask any questions.
**Who Should Attend:**
This session is open to complete beginners 🌱 as well as those who have experience with astrology. It is recommended to have your birth chart available. To generate your chart, I recommend using the website ***astro.com***
💰This event is offered COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE but donations are more than welcome. You can donate using **PayPal** (paypal.me/furtunadincarpati) or **Revolut** (revolut.me/misterclarity).
Last, but not least, if you wish to delve fully into astrology, I offer free tools at **lunarium.co.uk**, as well as training and consultations at **misterclarity.com**

Gespräche über Spiritualität, Seele, Sinn, Stille und Bewusstes Sein (Deutsch)
**Jenseits des Oberflächlichen – mit spiritueller Tiefe, praktischer Inspiration und in entspannter Atmosphäre.**
*"Es gibt absolut nichts Falsches daran, auf der „Ebene der Form“ zu manifestieren – sei es materieller Wohlstand, kreative Errungenschaften oder Dinge dieser Art. Tatsächlich kann das Manifestieren auf diese Weise zu den lohnendsten und erfüllendsten Erfahrungen auf unserer menschlichen Reise gehören.*
*Doch für viele von uns geht wahre Manifestation über die äußere Welt hinaus und dringt tiefer – in unser inneres Sein (und darüber hinaus)."* (N.N.)
### Einladung zu den nächsten **Spirituellen Gesprächen**
Bist du es leid, Gespräche zu führen, die an der Oberfläche bleiben?
Sehnst du dich nach Austausch, der inspiriert, berührt – und wirklich etwas in dir bewegt?
Dann lade ich dich herzlich zu den **Spirituellen Gesprächen** ein:
einer zweistündigen Zusammenkunft für Menschen, die sich nach Tiefe, Orientierung und einem sinnerfüllten Leben sehnen.
Gemeinsam erforschen wir, wie es ist, im **Jetzt** zu leben –
jenseits von Gedankenmustern, innerem Lärm und der rein verstandesmäßigen Sicht auf die Welt.
### Wer ist eingeladen?
Menschen mitten im Leben (typischerweise 45+), die
* äußerlich vieles erreicht haben, sich innerlich aber noch nicht ganz angekommen fühlen
* eine tiefere spirituelle Verbindung und echten Sinn suchen
* persönliche Begleitung und Austausch auf Augenhöhe schätzen
### Themen, in die wir gemeinsam eintauchen
* **Spiritualität erforschen** – die Verbundenheit von Selbst und Leben entdecken
* **Weisheit kultivieren** – innere Ruhe, Kraft und Klarheit wachsen lassen
* **Mit Wandel umgehen** – Lebensübergänge bewusst gestalten
* **Den eigenen Sinn erkennen** – was trägt dich wirklich?
* **Dem Leben vertrauen** – Freude, Liebe und Offenheit zulassen
Bring deine Gedanken, Fragen und das mit, was dich gerade bewegt.
Wir teilen Einsichten, Erfahrungen und Impulse – ohne Dogma, ohne Belehrung.
Diese Gespräche sind **frei von religiösen oder spirituellen Zugehörigkeiten**.
### Über mich
Ich bin **Dieter Langenecker**, spiritueller Begleiter und Moderator für tiefgehende Gespräche.
Seit vielen Jahren unterstütze ich Menschen dabei, innere Klarheit zu finden, ihrem eigenen Weg zu vertrauen und ein Leben zu gestalten, das sich stimmig und erfüllt anfühlt.
👉 *Hier kannst du dir ein Bild von meiner Arbeit machen:* **[Video](https://youtu.be/_BN4Ch42EUk)**
Ein Nachmittag für **Tiefe, Offenheit und echte Verbindung**.
Begegne Gleichgesinnten, lass dich inspirieren und genieße eine warme, ruhige Atmosphäre.
Für Gebäck und Getränke ist gesorgt.
**Beitrag:** € 15,-
(zur Deckung der Kosten für Kaffee/Tee, gesunde Süßigkeiten und Raummiete)
Bitte gib mir kurz Bescheid, falls du doch nicht teilnehmen kannst.
Und sei bitte pünktlich.
Falls das Haupttor geschlossen ist, nutze den Code **2008 + Schlüsselsymbol** oder schreibe mir unter **0681 1069 1321**.
Wenn dich das anspricht, **melde dich jetzt an** und sei Teil einer tiefgehenden Gesprächsrunde.
Ich freue mich auf dich.

Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht
### **,,Wirklich sehen, hören, fühlen – Wie geschärfte Wahrnehmung Nähe ermöglicht''**
**Workshop für Sinne, Selbsterkenntnis & Beziehungstiefe**
***
**Was, wenn echte Verbindung nicht durch Reden, sondern durch Wahrnehmen beginnt?**
Wie nah wir anderen kommen – in Partnerschaft, Freundschaft oder Familie – hängt oft davon ab, **wie klar und fein wir wahrnehmen können**: uns selbst, den anderen, die Situation.
In diesem Workshop schulen wir unsere Sinne – **sehen, hören, riechen, fühlen** – und erkennen, was zwischen Wahrnehmung und Reaktion liegt: unsere gelernten Muster, Schutzmechanismen und tiefen Bedürfnisse.
***
**Inhalte & Übungen**:
* Wie „Wahr“-nehmung funktioniert – und wie sie getäuscht werden kann
* Sehen, Hören, Riechen, Fühlen bewusst trainieren – mit alltagsnahen Übungen
* Schulz von Thun: Was höre ich wirklich, wenn jemand spricht?
* Virginia Satir: Welche Reaktionen schützen mich – und verhindern Nähe?
* Karen Horney & Bindungstheorie: Warum wir uns so schwer tun mit Kontakt
* Sinneserfahrungen mit Alltagsgegenständen (z. B. Kaffee, Stoffe, Düfte)
* Achtsame Selbstwahrnehmung & ehrlicher Austausch in Kleingruppen
***
**Warum das wichtig ist:**
Viele Kommunikationsprobleme und Beziehungskonflikte entstehen nicht durch bösen Willen – sondern durch **nicht wahrgenommene Signale**, alte Muster oder unbewusste Schutzreaktionen.
Wenn wir die Welt feiner spüren lernen, **werden wir echter, weicher, verbindlicher** – ohne uns zu verlieren.
***
**Für wen?**
Für Menschen, die sich selbst und andere besser verstehen wollen – nicht theoretisch, sondern **im Spüren, Erleben und im echten Kontakt**.
***
📍**Ort:** jeden Sonntag
🕖 **Zeit:** 11:00-14:30
☕ **Mit Sinnesimpulsen wie Kaffee & Duftübungen** Kaffee & kleine Snacks inklusive!
💶 **Beitrag:** 25€
📝 **Anmeldung:** über Meetup oder Emailanmeldung unter: orhanberatgueclue@gmail.com

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
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.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
