Tolle Berlinerinnen und Berliner, als ich schreibe, sitze ich im Wald zwischen Buchen und Eichen auf meinem Campingstuhl und genieße die Ruhe des Sonnenlichts. Suchst du nach Freiheit von dem Lärm der Szene, Lärm der Stadt? Möchtest du Brücken mit interkulturellen, diversen Leuten aufbauen? Dieses Jahr möchte ich unbedingt neue Leute, die Tiefe und Empathie haben kennenlernen. Diesen Leuten meine Zeit geben, und gegenseitige Freundschaften hoffentlich aufbauen. Selbst glaube ich, dass Mädels und Jungs einander nicht verstehen können, wenn der Sinn von einer Person 100% einer Geschlecht ist und die Person keines der Geschlecht gegenüber kennt. Idealerweise sollte der Sinn 50/50 weiblich/männlich sein, dass wir uns gegenseitig ideal verstehen können. Selbst bin ich Künstler, der sich für Farbphysik (Colour Phenomena) interessiert. Zum Beispiel ein roses Kirschbaum in der blauen morgen Stunde. Oder blaue Bäume im Licht eines bedeckten Sommer Tag, auch wenn jeder glaubt, dass man sachlich weiß, ‚Bäumen sind grün!‘ Colour sind, glaube ich, hauptsächlich weibliche Phänomene. Und als Künstler empfand ich seit langem eine Affinität für Colour. Das Bild oben ist ein Kunstwerk von mir. Ich möchte die ruhigen Leuten erreichen, also der Treff ist entweder Online, per Signal Messenger (Link zur Gruppe im Kommentar; nur für Teilnehmer der Veranstaltung sichtbar) um neue Verbindungen leicht zu machen, oder auch sogar besser persönlich, wenn du dich spontan unterwegs sein will und persönlich treffen will. Wenn du mich persönlich triffst setzen wir uns auf eine Wiese, eventuell in der Wuhlheide, oder auf dem Tempelhofer Feld. Schick mir eine Nachricht vorher per Signal Gruppe und wir können uns vereinbaren. Dieses merken: Bitte rauchen Sie bei dieser Veranstaltung nicht. Ich freue mich neue Leute kennenzulernen! Mit geschmackvollen Grüßen, Duncan

**Anna revels in sacrilege and shameless self-determination in her 4th stand-up solo hour, The Devil in Miss Beros, an homage to the Golden Age of Porn’s, ‘The Devil in Miss Jones’.** Previewing Tuesday June 2nd as a work in progress, before premiering at Volksbühne Grüner Salon June 12th and at the Edinburgh Fringe August 2026. **“This was such a fun show and I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing!** It was so dark, a little twisted, and so wrong in all the right places! Viciously relatable and finally saying all the 18+ thoughts out loud that you’re ashamed of finding funny! 10/10, no notes, go watch!” – Sarah, audience review ‘High Hoe’ Edinburgh Fringe 2025 At 39, Anna appeals to all ages who love a naughty laugh. Bouncing with energy, she brings audiences together with warming crowd work and shameless authenticity. This show is ideal for dates looking for lively conversation topics, hungry singles, tourists who are apologetic about gentrification, families with unresolved tensions, the perverted, silver foxes with knowing smiles and connoisseurs of comedy. **About Anna** Kiwi born, Melbourne raised and Berlin saved, Anna is a headliner in major European cities, she opened for Jeff Arcuri at Admiralspalast twice in Berlin 2025 and has written for Comedy Central DE.

**For those who read the book and those who haven't yet – both are welcome.** *"Our children are less cognitively capable than we were at their age."* That's the opening claim of [The Digital Delusion](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/244813958-the-digital-delusion) by neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath backed by a synthesis of over 21,000 studies. What does it mean? For most of the 20th century, IQ scores rose with each generation ([the well-documented Flynn effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect)). Around the year 2000, that trend reversed across much of the Western world. In countries where traditional schooling remained largely intact, it didn't. We were told that classroom technology, worth $ 400 billion, is the future of education, but Horvath argues it is not. At the same time, [Salman Khan](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/196848520-brave-new-words?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_10) – founder of Khan Academy – believes AI could be the great equaliser in education: a personal tutor for every child, regardless of background. Both can't be entirely right. Which parts of each argument will prove to be true? This June, Human Future Hub brings together humans interested in education, technology, parenting, policy-making and curious minds to explore one of the most consequential and least settled debates of our time: **what is digital technology actually adding to how we learn?** We'll present the key ideas from both books, so you don't need to have read them to join the conversation, but it would be great if you do. Come with your questions, your experience, and your honest opinion. 📅 Saturday, 6 June 2026 📍 Location to be revealed 🎟 Find out more about **Human Future Hub** at: [humanfuturehub.org](http://humanfuturehub.org)

Yes it’s free. But please come only if you are ready. The 22-Strand DNA Activation Used For 3,000 Years To Awaken Human Potential For the first time a high level Initiate reveals the 3.034 year old method to awaken human potential.. this method is available to the public since 1997 and starts reaching the masses now! Humanity is ready! Before that date people like Da Vinci, Tesla, Michelangelo, Pythagoras, Goethe, Beethoven and many more received the private opportunity to study these secrets. There is a moment in every seeker's life when reading stops being enough. You've done the books. The podcasts. The meditation apps. The therapy. Maybe even plant medicine, breathwork, yoga teacher trainings, retreats in distant countries. And still — somewhere quiet inside you — that voice keeps whispering: "There has to be more." There is. For 3,000 years, an unbroken lineage of teachers — traceable back to King Salomon the Wise — has guarded a precise energetic transmission known as the Life Activation. A 22-strand DNA activation that awakens dormant aspects of your divine blueprint. The same activation that has changed the lives of thousands of people across more than 50 countries. On Thursday, in the heart of Berlin, I'm opening the doors for a free 2-hour evening to share what this path is — and what it has done for me. --- What You'll Discover — What the Life Activation actually is (and why every Mystery School student receives it first) — The lineage behind it — King Salomon, 3,000 years, 7 Mystery Schools worldwide — How it works with your chakras, magnetic energy, etheric body, and elemental forces — What people consistently report afterwards: clarity, vitality, release of inherited patterns, deep peace — Why it bypasses the mind entirely — no belief required, no understanding needed — Where this path can take you — Sacred Geometry, Kabbalah, Initiation, Healers Academy — Live Q&A — ask anything --- Who This Is For You belong in this room if you: → Feel stuck despite trying everything — therapy, self-help, coaching, retreats → Sense that there is more to life but cannot quite reach it → Are walking through a major transition — career, relationship, identity, crisis → Want to begin a real spiritual path — not just read about one → Feel drawn to ancient wisdom and lineage-based traditions → Are ready for change. Real change. Not more information. You also belong here if you have zero spiritual background. You don't need to believe in anything. You just need to show up. --- What This Is Not Not a sales pitch dressed as a talk. Not a "manifestation" workshop. Not therapy. Not channeling. Not New Age improvisation. This is ancient lineage work — the same teachings, transmitted the same way, for three millennia. --- Your Host I'm Paul Schulz — Ritual Master in the King Salomon Lineage of the Modern Mystery School, based in Berlin, teaching in English across Europe. I received my own Life Activation in this city, and it changed everything. Now I share this work with seekers ready for the next step. --- The Details 📍 Berlin — see above 🗓 every second Thursday 💶 FREE (limited seats — registration required) 🎙 Language: English 🎁 Bonus: open Q&A --- Reserve Your Seat The question is not whether you have time. The question is whether you can afford to keep living the way you have been living.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!

Join us for Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn! Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the unsolved murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story-and survive this homecoming.
