Sonne & Tiefe
Tolle Berlinerinnen und Berliner,
als ich schreibe, sitze ich im Wald zwischen Buchen und Eichen auf meinem Campingstuhl und genieĂe die Ruhe des Sonnenlichts.
Suchst du nach Freiheit von dem LĂ€rm der Szene, LĂ€rm der Stadt? Möchtest du BrĂŒcken 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 MĂ€dels und Jungs einander nicht verstehen können, wenn der Sinn von einer Person 100% einer Geschlecht ist und die Person keines der Geschlecht gegenĂŒber kennt. Idealerweise sollte der Sinn 50/50 weiblich/mĂ€nnlich sein, dass wir uns ideal verstehen können.
Selbst bin ich KĂŒnstler, der sich fĂŒr Farbphysik (Colour Phenomena) interessiert. Zum Beispiel ein roses Kirschbaum in der blauen morgen Stunde. Oder blaue BĂ€ume im Licht eines bedeckten Sommer Tag, auch wenn jeder glaubt, dass man sachlich weiĂ, âBĂ€umen sind grĂŒn!â
Colour sind, glaube ich, hauptsĂ€chlich weibliche PhĂ€nomene. Und als KĂŒnstler empfand ich seit langem eine AffinitĂ€t fĂŒr 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) 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 per Signal Gruppe und wir können uns vereinbaren.
Ich freue mich neue Leute kennenzulernen!

Long Pose! Life Drawing & Portrait Painting @PAKD

* **Cost: 15 Euros**
A regular opportunity to study the nude or portrait from life for 3 hours, every single week!
We have one long pose - you can choose whether to draw several studies from different angles around the room, or take your time to do a single sustained drawing or painting in full detail.
The pose is held for 20 minute intervals with five minute breaks in-between so the model to rest and stretch, and so artists can move between seats if they choose.
We provide some materials such as paper, pencils & pastels for free. Canvases, brushes and acrylic paint can be purchased at the event.
We hope to see you there very soon!
Sprachklub fĂŒr Russischlernende Nr. 117
Der Sprachklub bietet einen Raum, um Russisch in entspannter und freundlicher AtmosphĂ€re zu sprechen. Die Treffen ermöglichen nicht nur, vorhandene Kenntnisse zu festigen, sondern auch den Wortschatz durch lebendige GesprĂ€che und spannende Themen zu erweitern. Hier hat jeder die Möglichkeit, neue interessante Menschen kennenzulernen, eigene Erfahrungen zu teilen, und mehr ĂŒber die russische Kultur zu erfahren.
Am 24. Mai wird der Tag der slawischen Schrift und Kultur gefeiert. Das kommende Treffen des Sprachklubs ist diesem Anlass gewidmet. Die Teilnehmenden erwartet ein abwechslungsreiches Programm mit spannenden Aufgaben zum Vergleich verschiedener slawischer Sprachen. Sie lernen russische und belarussische Sprichwörter kennen und entdecken, wie sich ein und dieselbe Volksweisheit mit unterschiedlichen Worten ausdrĂŒcken lĂ€sst. DarĂŒber hinaus stehen kreative Aufgaben rund um das Alphabet auf dem Programm, die sowohl fĂŒr AnfĂ€nger im Russischlernen als auch fĂŒr fortgeschrittene Teilnehmende geeignet sind.
FR/ES/DE Sprachbar at Sisyfass l Deutsch - Español - Français Language Exchange
**Ton français est rouillĂ© ? Dein Deutsch könnte etwas Ăbung vertragen? ÂżHace tiempo que no hablas español?**
*Rejoins-nous pour notre soirée d'échange linguistique! Komm zu unserer Language Exchange Nacht! Ven a practicar Espanol con nosotros :)*
After the success of our previous Sprachyfass events, weâre excited to present our latest edition; this time focusing on our 3 fav languages **German, Spanisch and French**! This event offers a relaxed environment to practice your language skills while meeting new people. Whether youâre improving your German or perfecting your Spanish or French, Sprachbar â Sprachyfass is the perfect opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with fellow learners and native speakers.
**Event Details:**
* **Location:** Sisyfass â Wildenbruchstr. 7, 12045 Berlin
* **Time:** from 19:30 â Open End
* **Fee:** Free participation â but donât forget to grab a drink at the bar to support the venue
* **Host:** The event will be hosted by **Laura**!
**How It Works:**
* Focused on German, Spanish and French â all levels are welcome, with a target range of **A2âB2**.
* We encourage also **native speakers of French and Spanish** to join, enjoy a chat in their native language and practise their German â a great opportunity to find a Tandem partner!
* Depending on the table you sit on, we will speak French, Spanish or German. There will be some **conversation starters**, but feel free to chat about whichever topics feels right!
* **Regular** **rotations** give everyone the chance to meet new people and practice languages.
**FAQs:**
1. **Iâm interested in practicing German/French/Spanish but donât speak the other language. Can I still participate?**
Yes, youâre welcome to join even if one language is stronger for you. However, the goal is to create a tandem environment between German, Spanish and French, so itâs ideal if you have some knowledge of both.
2. **My proficiency isnât very high, but Iâd like to participate. Is this event suitable for me?**
Absolutely! This event is all about practicing and connecting, so all skill levels are encouraged. Just keep in mind that the focus is on German, Spanish and French.
3. **Is there a fee to attend?**
No, the event is free. However, purchasing a drink at the bar helps support the venue, and we encourage everyone to enjoy the cozy atmosphere with a drink or two!
**Nous nous réjouissons à l'avance de passer une soirée fantastique d'échange linguistique! Wir freuen uns auf einen schönen Abend mit Euch! Ojala verte este jueves!**
P.S. This SprachyFass event will be the last one at Sisyfass before the summer month. Starting in June, we are planning to host FR/ES/DE Language Exchange picnics in the parc âïž. More info will follow!

A bientĂŽt!
Asian Languages & Culture Exchange đæ„æŹèȘ, íê”ìŽ, æ±èŻđ„
This is a 3 phase meetup. You can come at any time.
1.) 6:30 - 7:00 p.m.: Gathering at the meeting spot (see link and photo!).
2.) 7:00 - 7:30 p.m.: Walk & Talk through Tiergarten.
3.) 7:30 - 10:00 p.m.: Immerse conversations in the Zollpackhof beer garden (reserved tables for the meetup).
**1.) Meeting spot is Henriette Herz Park.**
Copy the coordinates into your maps app: **52°30'38.9"N 13°22'24.1"E**
The exact meeting spot can also be seen in the photo depicted below (see red arrow).
Look for a meetup sign or organizer wearing a black or red lanyard with "staff" written on it.
**Best ways to get there:**
1\. S\-Bahn:
Get off at Potsdamer Platz by S1, S2 or S25 and walk to the designated meeting spot.
2\. U\-Bahn \(subway\):
Alternatively you can get off at Potsdamer Platz by U2 and just walk 5 min straight to the park.
3\. Bus:
If you change at mainstation you can take the M41 or M85 to
S Potsdamer Platz /VoĂstr. and walk to the park.
**2.) Walk & Talk through Tiergarten** (the best part imho). During these weird times it essential to connect with nature and like minded people. You will feel instantly energized and an inner calmness afterwards.
**3.) How to the find the Zollpackhof beer garden:**
https://goo.gl/maps/vDYYaJcFvTmd7hei7
Elisabeth-Abegg-StraĂe 1, 10557 Berlin
We will be sitting outside. Click the gmaps link with the exact meeting spot if you can can't find us!
If you enter from the Magnus-Hirschfeld-Ufer, just go to the left part of the beer garden where the self-service is.
If you enter from Elisabeth-Abegg-Str, enter the beer garden from the right.
*Who is this meetup for:*
1\. Asians who want to practice German and/or English\.
2\. German speaking individuals who are studying \(preferably\) Japanese\, Korean\, Mandarin or Cantonese\.
3\. Anyone who is interested in cultural exchange and wants to socialize\.
*What you can expect:*
1\. A professionally organized meetup that can adapt to any changes given the current situation\.
2\. A Walk & Talk to break the ice\.
3\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\.
*important: This event is at the same time and meeting location like the "Networking & Language Exchange - international" one. So I'm basically organizing 2 events at the same time which means that you can expect way more people than on the list.*
***
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.
âA personâs name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.â - 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.

THE BEAR Berlin presents MOUNTAINS - true stories about the climb
### **MOUNTAINS â Stories about the climb**
### **Live Storytelling Night (Berlin)**
âIt is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.â
â Edmund Hillary
Some mountains are made of rock.
Some are made of doubt, distance, language, love, grief, ambition, or simply getting out of bed when things feel heavy.
This May, THE BEAR invites you to an evening of true personal stories about going uphill â about effort, resistance, resilience, and the quiet (or loud) voice that says: keep going.
Our host, Izzy Ahrbeck, returns to Berlin fresh from the landscapes of Patagonia â where the mountains are wild, the wind is real, and every step reminds you that climbing is never just physical.
Come as you are.
Bring your uphill story.
Or simply sit back and listen.
We climb together.
***
### đ€ What this event is
An evening of **true, personal storytellingâtold live on stage.**
No scripts. No acting. No fiction.
Just real people sharing real moments when life felt steep:
* choosing the harder path
* starting again from zero
* pushing through thin air
* reaching a summit that wasnât what they expected
* almost turning back
Some stories will be funny. Some raw. All of them human.
Music for the evening comes from Rory, adding sound and atmosphere to our climb.
***
### đ Why come?
Because storytelling isnât just entertainmentâitâs connection.
Youâll leave feeling:
* more connected to others
* reminded of your own experiences
* maybe even inspired to tell your own story
***
### đ» How the evening works
* **Open Stage** \- We randomly selected storytellers' name from our legendary top hat
đ Want to tell a story?
Put your name in the hat during the evening.
First time? Even better.
Weâre known for being a welcoming space for new storytellers.

Per what this group is about:

French conversation at La Chatelaine in Worthington.
SATURDAY: This event is 2:30 - 4 pm SATURDAY.
Conversation tends toward intermediate/advanced,
but everybody is welcome.
If you come and don't see us right away, keep looking. We could be anywhere in the restaurant.
Italian Conversation Hour
Ciao a tutt\*!
Let's meet Monday at 6.30pm at the Upper Arlington Library (**Tremont** Branch) in **Meeting Room A** to speak in Italian for 1 hour.
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for May is "Ink"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
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.
* There's a restroom along the route at [Tuttle Park Community Center](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KTZJgLE1CrrbRNmJ7), which is about twoâthirds of the way from [Clinton-Como Park](https://maps.app.goo.gl/z8Cx8evwLiWundMe8) to our [turnback point](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZXk7qUVszLQ8EJxHA).
* 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).
