Founders Running Club :: Berlin
**Founders Running Club** (FRC) brings founders, investors, tech, creative people and startup enthusiasts together for weekly easy runs and networking.
Every Saturday morning we gather together and run through Tiergarten.
Join us in one of these 3 routes:
\* **5K** – for new & beginner runners
\* **7K** – for regular runners
\* **11K** – for more experienced runners
**OBS**: We are usually around 30 people, between regulars and newcomers (from here and from Luma), so don't be scared if there are not a lot of people confirmed on the event here.
The pace is chill and conversational, around **6:30**.
On the 7k and 11k some people like to push a bit more, but no one gets left behind.
We finish with a nice coffee and amazing conversations.
The vibe is always great.
Pets, friends, family, are welcome.

Immersive Resonance
An official satellite event of the [New European Bauhaus Festival](https://new-european-bauhaus.europa.eu/events/festival_en) program – Saturday June 13, 2026
cover art by [Isaac Abrams](https://isaacabrams.com/)
Immersive Resonance is a 7-hour participatory satellite event hosted by Das Baumhaus Berlin that combines dialogue, artistic experience, collective reflection, and embodied practice to explore how New European Bauhaus (NEB) values can be sensed, shared, and lived together.
Positioned at the intersection of FORUM and FEST, the event creates an open and welcoming environment where intellectual exchange, emotional connection, physical engagement, and reflective practices coexist. Through a carefully curated sequence of activities—ranging from discussions and workshops to immersive meditation and celebratory gathering—participants are invited to explore new frameworks for solidarity, balance, and collective responsibility.
Program
16:00 – **Open Greeting Zone (OGZ)**
The event begins by transforming the entire venue into an Open Greeting Zone, where informal introductions and spontaneous encounters are encouraged. This format lowers barriers to participation, supports inclusion, and creates a welcoming environment for diverse audiences. Drinks and snacks are provided to support convivial exchange.
17:00 – **Opening Remarks by Scott Bolden (Baumhaus founder)**: Exploring New Frameworks for Solidarity
Introductory reflections situate the event within the New European Bauhaus values and outline the relevance of solidarity, balance, and collective responsibility in addressing current social and ecological challenges.
17:15 – **Short Film Screening**
Screening of Re:Balance – The Basis for a Social Evolution (6 minutes, English with subtitles), offering a concise artistic and conceptual input on systemic imbalance and societal transformation. Re:Balance serves as a catalyst for dialogue during the moderated discussion.
17:20 – **Moderated Q&A and Discussion**
An open discussion invites participants to reflect on the film and connect its themes to their own lived experiences, professional practices, and community contexts.
17:45 – **Short Break** (food, drinks and snacks will be available all day)
18:00 – **Participatory Workshop: “Transforming Imbalance” (60 minutes)**
A facilitated, interactive workshop where participants identify imbalances in personal, professional, and community contexts and co-develop realistic, actionable responses for the present, alongside longer-term aspirations. The workshop emphasizes collective intelligence, co-creation, and agency.
19:00 – **Workshop Feedback and Open Discussion**
Participants share insights, observations, and proposed actions, supporting mutual learning and collective reflection.
19:45 – **“News You Can Use”**
Short one-minute peer-to-peer contributions where participants share offers, needs, initiatives, or upcoming events, strengthening networks and encouraging continued engagement beyond the event.
20:00 – **Evening Soirée**
An informal, festive networking moment with music, drinks, and snacks, reinforcing the FEST dimension and social cohesion.
20:30 – **FLOW Meditation (60 minutes)**
An active, guided, immersive meditation that fosters awareness, resonance, and embodied reflection, offering a sensory experience aligned with well being and sustainability values.
23:30 – **Closing at Das Baumhaus Berlin**
Optional continuation of the evening at a local cultural venue, reinforcing community connection and cultural exchange.
Immersive Resonance aims to cultivate a shared consciousness and inspire continued participation and action beyond the event itself. By blending dialogue, creativity, and celebration, the event makes NEB values tangible and experiential—fostering beauty through meaningful encounters, sustainability through awareness and balance, and togetherness through inclusive, participatory formats.

\- Chat if you feel like it\.
\- Or enjoy the quiet\.
**\- Nonverbal?** We have **infinity symbol** **tag** for those who prefer not to talk. Just ask an organizer!

* Organizers will provide some **pride items** to carry while you walk, if you’d like.
* We will have **bookmarkers about neurodiversity** that we can share with people along the way, and you’re welcome to help if you want.
**🎒 What to Bring (Optional, but welcomed):**
* Neurodivergent pride items: symbols, shirts, flags, stim toys, etc.
* Comfortable shoes, water, snacks, sunglasses/ear plugs – whatever helps you feel comfy.
* Picnic blanket – extras welcome! We'll have a designated quiet zone at the end.
* food and drinks, to replenish your self during the walk and during the picnic at the end of the wall.
* And of course: **your wonderful self. No pressure to “perform” pride – just come as you are.**
**🚶Walk Structure:**
**Meet-Up @ Landwehrkanal:**
* Look for the **rainbow infinity flag/banner**.
* Short intro about the route, safety, and general vibe.
* We’ll share **live location** on the event page (for late joiners – you can catch up!).
**Walking Together:**

* Need a break? Just signal an organizer!
**Arrival @ Treptower Park:**
* Time to relax! Spread out a blanket and unwind.
* Bring snacks/drinks if you’d like (no pressure to share).
* Stay as long or as little as you like – no formal end time.
**⚠️ Important Notes:**
* Organizers are **neurodivergent volunteers** – we’re here to guide, not to manage care.
* Please be responsible for yourself and **mindful of others’ needs**.
* Need something? Ask someone wearing an **"Ask Me" rainbow lanyard**.
* **Allies are welcome!** Please respect that this is a **neurodivergent-centered space**.
**💬 Questions?**
DM the event page or drop a comment.
Let’s celebrate neurodivergence – together, and at our own pace. 🌟

Kreative Schreibwerkstatt in Charlottenburg (14:30 Uhr!)
Für Mitglieder von Text Collective Berlin ist die Teilnahme an dieser Veranstaltung kostenlos.
Nicht-Mitglieder werden um eine Spende von zehn Euro gebeten.
[https://textcollective.de/ticket](https://textcollective.de/ticket)
**Besonderheit für dieses Treffen am 13. Juni:**
Direkt nebenan, auf dem Mierendorffplatz, steigt schon am Vortag das Mierendorff-Inselfest. Das Text Collective ist dort am **Freitag, 12. Juni, von 16 bis 22 Uhr** mit einem eigenen Stand vertreten.
Unsere Mission an diesem Abend: Wir sammeln skurrile, gruselige, lustige und mysteriöse Fakten rund um die Mierendorff-Insel. Was die Insel an Geschichten, Gerüchten und Geheimnissen hergibt, wird tags darauf zum Briefing für die Schreibwerkstatt – aus den gesammelten Funden entstehen am 13. Juni eure Kurzgeschichten.
Wer also am 13. Juni dabei sein möchte, kommt idealerweise schon am 12. Juni aufs Fest und schaut am Stand vom Text Collective vorbei. So bringst du deinen eigenen Stoff mit, und wir starten am Samstag mitten im Material.
**Jeden zweiten Samstag des Monats von 14:30 Uhr bis 16:30 Uhr in Charlottenburg (Haus am Mierendorffplatz).**
**Was dich erwartet:**
In unseren Treffen arbeiten wir mit abwechslungsreichen Schreibimpulsen, die neue Perspektiven eröffnen und spielerisches Experimentieren ermöglichen. Du schreibst direkt vor Ort, teilst deine Texte mit der Gruppe (freiwillig!) und erhältst konstruktives Feedback.
Die Atmosphäre ist offen und unterstützend. Hier darf ein Text noch unfertig sein, eine Idee noch roh, ein Gedanke noch unausgereift. In dieser Atmosphäre gegenseitiger Wertschätzung entsteht der Mut, sich auszuprobieren und die eigene Stimme zu entdecken. Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rückmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das Zuhören.
**Über Text Collective Berlin:**
Wir sind eine kreative Schreibcommunity, die regelmäßige Workshops und Lesungen organisiert. 2025 erschien unsere erste Anthologie "Begegnung zwischen Welten" mit Texten aus der Schreibwerkstatt.
Piano Pancake Brunch

3\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\.

***
Whenever you attend a meetup, the most common as well as first question you get is: "Where are you from?"
You probably heard this question a million times. Well, at least I did.
From my own experience of attending over 200 international meetups in various countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and Thailand, I can tell you that asking for the name is a better approach.
“A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” - Dale Carnegie
If you really want to connect with like-minded people you should remember their name, but you don't have to remember every persons name you've talked you. Be picky about that, don't be me who can somehow remember everyones name easily.
Don't tell yourself sth. like "I'm bad at remembering names." It's all about developing the habit of asking for a name and keep the conversation going on.
Furthermore, you want to learn German or any other language. Learning the local language is crucial to connect with the locals and developing a true friendship.
This can be accomplished with immersion. My goal is to inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and improve yourself each time you join this meetup.

Participation by voluntary contribution (5–15 € suggested)

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
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.**

**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Much Ado About Nullable - C# Nullable Reference Types Explained
**Presenter:** Matthew Hess, Microsoft MVP
**Time:** Pizza at 6:00, Presentation Starts at 6:30pm Eastern
**Location:** Theoris, 9000 Keystone Crossing, Either Downstairs or in Suite 230 if main meeting room isn't available, Indianapolis
In 2019 (C# 8.0) Microsoft introduced a feature that has generated a lot of confusion, debate and outright dissent. I'm talking about Nullable Reference Types. In this presentation, I we dig into this feature, explore why it exists, what problem it tries to solve, how it works, and how people have critiqued it, so that you as a programmer can decide if and how you want to use it.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
