**NVC & BOUNDRIES** ***Weekend Workshop*** What a delicate human moment it is — the one in which someone says or receives a “no.” “Can we make love?” — No. “Would you like to go for a coffee with me?” — No. “Would you like to work together?” — No. It takes such vulnerability to voice a request — to courageously share your heart and its dreams. And it takes just as much courage to stay true to yourself, not to please the other at the cost of your own authenticity. So often we end up saying *yes* when we actually mean *no* — because we’re afraid of losing connection, or because “it’s the right thing to do.” This weekend is an exploration of those delicate moments — their depth, their vulnerability, and the dynamics they reveal.We’ll begin by discovering our own boundaries and what truly matters to us, since so much confusion and pain arise when we don’t even know where our boundaries are. We’ll learn to say *no* in a way that is authentic, safe, and connecting. We’ll learn how to receive a *no* without betraying the vulnerability that comes with it. We’ll learn how to transform the moment of giving or receiving a *no* from a wall into the beginning of a meaningful dialogue — one where *you can be you, and I can be me*, together. “Words are windows, or they’re walls.” — *Marshall Rosenberg* **Teaching Style** Expect minimum 50-70% practice and exercises, demonstrations and other interactive ways to engage, and the rest it’s gonna be theory. **When?** 6 -7 June 2026 Saturday & Sunday: 10:00 - 17:30 **Daily schedule:** **Saturday** Arrival: From 9:30 Morning Workshop / Practice space: 10-13 Lunch: 13 - 14:15 Afternoon Workshop / Practice space: 14:15 - 17:30 **Sunday** Arrival: From 9:30 Morning Workshop / Practice space: 10-13 Lunch: 13 - 14:15 Afternoon Workshop / Practice space: 14:15 - 16:00 Financial Co-Responsibility Circle: 16:15 - 17:30 Goodbyes: Until 18:30 We’ll have organic breaks to support us through the schedule. **Where?** Braschzeile 12-14, 14109 Berlin (Wannsee). For this 2 days workshop, we’ll be able to gather in the privacy and calmness of a house in Wannsee. A large garden with solemn old trees offers the grounding and space needed to gently move into the vulnerability to meet ourselves and each other at our boundaries and in the pain of where they’ve been crossed. *It’s possible to sleep on site for a limited amount of people, priority it’s given to who comes from out of town.* **Experience**: No previous experience it’s required, everyone is welcome. The exercises will allow deepening the NVC practice even when you already have experience with it. **Who is this for?** Space is limited to a group of 14 people. As we want to create a safe container to also explore our hurting parts, we would prefer people to join for the full weekend flow. If you can’t join the whole thing contact us and we’ll see if it’s fitting for you to join only one day or a part of the workshop. **Price?** This event is neither charged, nor free. We’re intending to create/ to play with a conscious systems-based approach to money and how it flows in between humans. We want resources to flow towards serving & nourishing life. As we are co-creating learning, developmental and healing spaces we want to care for what’s needed for people to attend as well as for what’s needed so that we can continue to co-create such spaces. That’s why we’ll offer two systems of distributing (monetary) resources in between the people present in an attempt to make this event financially sustainable for everyone. **About the food** Lunches will be prepared in advance, let us know of any special food allergies **Register** To register, please fill [this form](https://forms.gle/2Dwkhm9JfM2WEPKv6). **YOUR FACILITATORS** **Martina Pesce** Hi, I'm Martina. I came in contact with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) through a relationship where I started to grasp the beauty of this tool. After 3 years of self-study and occasional practice, I was touched by how this communication allowed me to connect with my mum in conflict, so strongly that I felt love for her for the first time in 20 years. Unsatisfied with the lack of mental health support in the neuroscience research field, I decided to switch careers and dive deep into NVC. I trained as a mediator, counsellor and trainer at the Connecting2life school (Yoram Mosenzon). It was a two-year-long process of embodying the tool and then learning how to transmit it so that it could sink in the body. For a year I've been holding my workshops, courses and 1:1 practice. My approach is based on practice and embodiment. I found NVC very revolutionary and with that respect, I like to let sink in our system a few bits of info at the time, rather than an overwhelming waterfall of theory. **Matthias Flury** Hi. My name is Matthias. To be honest with you, I’m incredibly hesitant to write this short biography about myself. Part of the resistance comes from a fear of not being enough - it’s an insecurity that often comes alive since for many years of my life my need for connection wasn’t met, no matter what I tried. Out of this experience I’m shy to show and present myself, even to an unknown reader, to not go through the pain of rejection again. Another source for this hesitation is that I’ve got an idea of how I need to present myself here as a teacher. “I need to sell myself well and in a way that will make you trust me and curious to learn from me”. And I’m worried that I’ll try to perform as something I’m not in order to achieve that. Underneath the pressure of trying to be perfect I’m certain I’ll lose something incredibly important. I’ll lose connection to myself and with that any hope of actually contributing value to you. That’s why I’ll start this introduction of myself like this. I’m looking forward to meeting you and exploring together how we can connect to our feelings and unknown desires. How we can hold space and lovingly meet each other exactly where we are in our authentic selves. This is the place where relationships gain intimacy and depth, where love grows and where life begins to make sense. Just in case you actually want to know about my background: I started learning about NVC in 2019, took my first lessons with Empathie Stadt Zurich in 2020, and completed my education in 2023 with a course about teaching and embodying NVC by CNVC-Trainer Yoram Mosenzon. I regularly support NVC-teachers as an assistant in their courses and occasionally teach myself. If you have any questions you can reach me at [matthias.flury@mail.ch](mailto:matthias.flury@mail.ch).

This time we’re getting together in Bürgerpank Pankow (10 min walk from our meeting point) for a picnic to talk about our manifestations, the techniques we use, and also share books/meditations/author recommendations for anyone who’s interested and wants to dive deeper into the topic.

**Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers** is a small, curated gathering in Berlin for two kinds of people who almost never end up in the same room: the ones who build things with code, and the ones who build things with imagination. Developers and painters. Engineers and writers. Founders and photographers. In daily life these worlds rarely collide — here, that collision is the whole point. Just a good space, a deliberate mix of curious people, and the freedom to let the evening unfold. Come ready to be surprised by who you meet and where the evening takes you. A room full of curious humans. We’re here to socialize as human beings. And if you do exchange contacts — make it personal, not transactional. **🛠 If You Build Things** · Developers & Engineers · Designers & Product People · Founders · People Who Code for Fun **🎨 If You Create Things** · Writers & Journalists · Photographers · Artists & Painters · Anyone With a Side Obsession 👉 **You can also join via Luma if this event reaches capacity: https://luma.com/0y2yd2q4** Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist. **📝 Note:** You are welcome to attend our social meetup! The event is free. The space is generously hosted for us — the only thing we ask is that you support it by buying a drink, etc. A small gesture that keeps evenings like this possible. **🤝 Community:** This is a space built on curiosity and respect. We keep it that way — for everyone.

Du bist immer die Hilfsbereite. Nie unbequem, aber innerlich am Limit. Das ändern wir. Du kennst das Gefühl: Du sagst Nein & plötzlich bist Du die Schwierige. Du gibst alles & bekommst kaum etwas zurück. Du fragst Dich warum Deine Grenzen nicht respektiert werden, obwohl Du doch eigentlich gar nicht so viel verlangst. **Du bist nicht zu empfindlich. Du bekommst zu wenig.** In diesem Workshop schauen wir gemeinsam warum das so ist & Du gehst mit einer Struktur nach Hause die aus Dir selbst kommt. Nicht mit einer Checkliste. Sondern mit Klarheit darüber was Du brauchst & einem Rahmen der dazu passt. Begrenzte Teilnehmerzahl: 10 Plätze

Wir haben uns entschieden den Workshop, der kommenden Sonntag stattfindet, auf deutsch zu halten: 🔥 From BREAKUP to BREAKTHROUGH: Von Trennung zu Durchbruch 🔥 Denkst du noch an deine:n Ex‑Partner:in? Verlierst du dich in Gedanken daran, wie es hätte sein können – oder vielleicht noch sein könnte, wenn du oder die andere Person anders wären? Obwohl die Beziehung vorbei ist, fließt weiterhin Energie dorthin: durch Hoffen, Grübeln, Ärger, Groll oder Bewertungen. Fühlt sich das Loslassen wie ein endloser Prozess an? Oder steckst du in einer „Situationship“, die sich nicht wirklich bewegt? Wir kennen das. Und es hat uns viel Lebensenergie, Zeit und Klarheit gekostet – und auch andere Beziehungen beeinflusst. Deshalb öffnen wir einen Raum für Frauen\*, die in ihren Beziehungen eine echte Vollendung machen wollen – durch Schatten- und Wutarbeit. Das ist ein radikal verantwortungsvoller Raum. Wenn du nicht bereit bist, deinen eigenen Anteil anzuerkennen, ist dieser Workshop nicht für dich. Es ist ein tiefgehender, transformierender Raum, um abzuschließen, was zur Vergangenheit gehört – und alte Emotionen und Energien zu klären, die dir heute noch Lebenskraft entziehen. Hol dir deine Autorität zurück. Nimm deinen Raum ein. Gewinne deine Freiheit zurück. Bist du bereit, keine Aufmerksamkeit mehr einer toten Beziehung zu schenken? Bist du bereit, loszulassen und die Lektionen zu vollenden? Dann sei dabei und erlebe deinen Durchbruch. Mit Liebe und Wut, Johanna & Thea Sonntag\, 7\. Juni 2026 \| 14:00–18:00 Uhr Beitrag: 65–100 EUR (nach Selbsteinschätzung) Ort: Berlin, Neukölln (Adresse nach Anmeldung)

*There are always more participants coming as regulars or from other platforms than shown here* \-\-\- We invite you to join our weekly Evenings of Meditation, to gently meet yourself, dissolve stress and live life from beautiful inner states, like calm, joy and connection. These gatherings are not just about meditating on your own, but a step inward we take together. Each time we’ll look into a particular topic in the light of timeless wisdom, reflect on it in a guided meditation, do powerful Oneness practices for greater wellbeing, and experience Deeksha - which helps to speed up your inner growth. **This week's topic: Access solutions more easily** Sometimes, when we face a problem or feel hurt, we tend to analyze it until we become exhausted. There is so much knowledge available that can help, yet for some reason, trying to apply it while in a state of stress often leads to greater disconnection or unsatisfying results. For example, you may say all the psychologically "right" words, yet the wall between you and the other person remains. Let's explore what can help us dissolve conflicts and move into a deeper connection.

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

**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)

Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships? Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

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. **YouTube Link** TBD

If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
