#111 Let's Meet Up and Practice Languages
(Inside event) Are you learning a language but can't find people to practice with? Do you enjoy helping people speak your native language? If so, meet with us to make friends and have some good conversations.
We begin by sharing the languages we speak fluently and the ones we are learning. Then we split into groups and speak! You can switch groups as often as you'd like. The goal is to speak about interesting, thought-provoking topics - not just the typical introductions we usually make.
At our last meetups we spoke: German, Ukranian, English, French, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Turkish, Polish, Swedish, Arabic, Norwegian, and Dutch. Can you help us make this list bigger? We hope to see you there and welcome ANY and ALL languages. (However, we cannot guarantee we will have a speaking partner for all languages).
Looking forward to see you all! đ

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).

Deine Ziele. Dein Leben. -- Deine Ziele fĂŒr ein grandioses 2026
**đđœ TschĂŒss TretmĂŒhle & einsame VorsĂ€tze. Hallo Klarheit & echte Verbindung.**
**đŻ In diesem Workshop setzt Du Dir Ziele fĂŒr 2026 - gemeinsam mit Menschen, die sich Ă€hnliche Fragen stellen.**
**đ Ein Tag fĂŒr TrĂ€ume, klare Richtung & gute Verbindungen.**
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**đ¶ TeilnahmegebĂŒhr: 50 EUR vor Ort in bar oder PayPal.**
Du kannst Dir auch ein **[Ticket auf Evenbrite sichern](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/deine-ziele-dein-leben-deine-ziele-fur-2026-tickets-1977712178364)**. Rechnung ist möglich. // Geld-ZurĂŒck-Garantie: Bei Nichtgefallen 100% Geld zurĂŒck.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Gute Freunde & Freundinnen reden ĂŒber ihre Ziele & TrĂ€ume. Sie schauen zurĂŒck auf das vergangene Jahr und ĂŒberlegen, wie das nĂ€chste werden soll.
Genau das machen wir in diesem Workshop auch.
**â In gemĂŒtlicher AtmosphĂ€re widmen wir uns 4 Themen:**
đđŒ Wie war mein 2025. Was war groĂartig? Was war lappig?
đŽ Wie stelle ich mir mein Leben vor?
đ» Wie soll mein 2026 werden?
đ Wie möchte ich die Ziele in 2026 umsetzen?
Wir denken nach ĂŒber das eigene Leben & das nĂ€chste Jahr - und sind gleichzeitig immer wieder im Austausch.
**đł Gemeinsame Inspiration & Referenz**
Deine Ziele fĂŒr's nĂ€chste Jahr entstehen nicht im stillen KĂ€mmerlein, sondern verbunden mit anderen. Dabei teilst Du, was Du teilen möchtest - was Du lieber fĂŒr Dich behĂ€ltst, bleibt Dein Geheimnis.
Am Ende hast Du einen Plan fĂŒr 2026. Du hast Dich mit anderen darĂŒber ausgetauscht, Dich inspirieren lassen und vielleicht habt ihr ja sogar Ă€hnliche PlĂ€ne?
**Der Tag ist auch eine Referenz fĂŒr:** Wie wĂ€re es, wenn ich mit meinen Freunden gemeinsam einen solchen Tag gestalte? Die Unterlagen dafĂŒr hast Du ja im Anschluss und kannst gleich einen Termin mir Deinen Freunden vereinbaren.
Ich freue mich auf jeden Fall auf gute GesprÀchen & einen angenehmen Tag.
**đ Agenda:**
* 8:45 Uhr: Ankommen, Tee & Schwatz
* Kennenlernen & RĂŒckblick 2025
* Lebensvision & TrÀume
* 12:30 - 14:00 Uhr - Mittagspause
* Deine Ziele fĂŒr 2026
* SchÀrfung & Umsetzung
* 18:00 Uhr - Ende
.
**đ„ Essen & Trinken**
In der Mittagspause kannst Du Dich auf eigene Kosten in einem der zahlreichen, umliegenden Restaurants & Imbisse versorgen, sitzen & schwatzen. Bring Dir gern auch Snacks fĂŒr den Tag und zwischendurch mit.
Ich stelle **verschiedene Tees** **und Kaffee** zur VerfĂŒgung.
.
**đĄ Location**
* Wir treffen uns bei mir am Wohnzimmertisch.
* FĂŒr das GefĂŒhl von chilliger Gemeinsamkeit ist gesorgt.
.
đ« **Was ist der Workshop nicht:**
**Der Workshop ist kein Tschakka-Workshop.** Ich glaube, Du kannst (fast) alles erreichen, was Du willst. Doch ich glaube, die meisten Teilnehmenden werden eher solide Themen fĂŒr 2026 haben.
Dennoch bin ich offen fĂŒr groĂe Ziele - schlieĂlich arbeite ich selbst an etwas GroĂem (Das Buch ĂŒber Freundschaft). FĂŒr ein klein wenig Tschakka ist also auch Platz - nur eben keine Techno-Musik & blinkende Lichter.
**đ±đœââïž Ăber mich:**
* Betreiber der Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de)
* Ausgebildeter NLP-Trainer ([DVNLP](https://www.dvnlp.de/)) & Coach
* Seit 15 Jahren setze ich mir selbst Ziele mit Freunden.
* Jahrelang selbststĂ€ndiger Unternehmensberater (u.a. ĂŒber 5 Jahre Strategieberater fĂŒr die Bundsbereitschaftsleitung des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes)
* Eigene Vita: Von schĂŒchternen Jungen zum fitten Mann
* u.a. Weltreise: 1 Jahr allein eine Runde um den Globus. Das war fett!
* Mehr ĂŒber mich: [LinkedIn - Georg Preller](https://www.linkedin.com/in/georg-preller/)
**đČ Ehemalige Teilnehmer/innen meiner Meeups:**
"Was Georg kann: Tiefgang & SpaĂ zu gleichen Zeit. Ich bin immer wieder gern dabei!"
.
"WĂ€hrend des Workshops habe ich erkannt: In der Firma setzen wir uns jedes Jahr Ziele und reden mindestens ein Mal in der Woche darĂŒber - nennt sich Meetings oder Jour Fixe bei uns. In meinem Privatleben lasse ich das schleifen und wundere mich, warum vieles nicht zu meiner Zufriedenheit lĂ€uft. Jetzt habe ich meine Ziele fĂŒr 2024! Danke."
.
"Ziele alleine setzen ist ja nett, doch angenehmer finde ich den Austausch mit anderen. Ich mache mir das jetzt zur Gewohnheit. Interessant fand ich, welche Themen die anderen hatten. Wir sind doch alle gleich und doch verschiedenen."
.
"Georg bietet ein solides System, wie man sich seine Ziele setzt. Alles bedacht, und auswÀhlen kann ich alleine. Man merkt, dass er eine gute Ausbildung hat. Gut finde ich, dass wir sowohl das gesamte Leben angesehen haben als auch das nÀchste Jahr."
.
"Sympatisch, ĂŒbersichtlich, direkt. Dankeschön!"

Sunday Service 10:45am
You are welcome to join Sunday services at our church location.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Portrait Drawing on Sunday Afternoon
This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits!
For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it.
Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages â all levels are welcome :)
How it works:
1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\.
2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\.
3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\.
-> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location.
Get out your pencils and let's start!
Please bring your own art supplies!
Sunday Tech Coffee Meetup
Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin.

This page-turning party will unfold in the Café (1st floor) at the Bode Museum.
There's no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the cafe and don't bring any outside drinks :)
No quizzes, no pressure, no assigned books - just a group of book-loving souls basking in the beauty of silent reading.

Silent Reading Club
**Silent Reading Book Club**
A new way to enjoy reading! Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same bookâŠthis is better!
It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading.
You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you!
no registration needed- the event is donation based
Lesen. Schreiben. Teilen.
**Worum gehtâs?**
Entdecke die Kraft der Worte â in Gemeinschaft. In dieser offenen Gruppe lesen wir gemeinsam kurze literarische Texte â Gedichte, Mikrotexte oder AuszĂŒge aus lĂ€ngeren Werken â und lassen uns von ihnen zum Schreiben einladen.
Nach dem gemeinsamen Lesen nehmen wir uns Zeit zum Nachdenken und Austausch. AnschlieĂend schreiben wir 20â30 Minuten Seite an Seite â inspiriert von einzelnen Worten, SĂ€tzen oder dem, was uns gerade bewegt.
Im Mittelpunkt stehen nicht handwerkliche Aspekte, sondern das persönliche Erleben, das GefĂŒhl von Verbundenheit und die Funken, die Worte in uns entzĂŒnden können â besonders fĂŒr Menschen, die belastende Erfahrungen gemacht haben, und alle, die auf der Suche nach neuen Perspektiven sind.
Wer möchte, kann am Ende den Text teilen, der wĂ€hrend der Sitzung entstanden ist â genauso willkommen ist es, einfach nur zuzuhören. Das Teilen ist immer freiwillig.
**Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos â und ohne Anmeldung möglich.**
**Ăber die Gruppenleiterin**
**[Ingrid E. Johnson](https://ingridejohnson.com/de)** ist Deutsch-Amerikanerin, GrĂŒnderin von RECASAS und Peer-Support-Spezialistin.
Lesen und Schreiben haben ihr selbst durch schwierige Zeiten geholfen. Schreiben in Gemeinschaft bedeutet fĂŒr sie eine andere Quelle von Kraft und Inspiration â und genau dieses Erlebnis möchte sie ermöglichen.

Dementia Coffee Group
This is a very informal coffee group where you can stop by for a few minutes or stay for the whole two hours. This is a group for anyone who has been affected by having a loved one with dementia. We can tell our stories, make friends, and spend time with others going through or who have gone through the same thing. We will meet at the table with the purple flowers. I will be wearing a name tag. My name is Sandra.
Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started â but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome â please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. đ€ đ
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. Itâs a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** â Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** â With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
