Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

We usually have about 50 to 100 people at each event.** ***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?*** Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event.

Über uns Hello, Berlin! We're Mindful Mingle, a cozy corner in our bustling city dedicated to heartfelt conversations. A place where you're not just another face in the crowd, but a valued member of a caring community. Mindful Mingle welcomes openness and emotional honesty. **\*\*\* READ BEFORE ATTENDING \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\*** \#\# 🌿 Mindful Mingle Community Guidelines Creating a space for real conversations, mindful connection, and mutual respect These guidelines are here to help us keep our gatherings safe, supportive, and enriching for everyone. Please read them before attending an event. \#\# 💛 1\. Come as You Are This is a space for real people, not perfect ones. Whether you’re having a great week or a rough day, you’re welcome here. Just be yourself, no masks needed. \#\# 🗣️ 2\. Listen with Empathy When someone shares, listen with your full attention and an open heart. Avoid interrupting or offering unsolicited advice. Sometimes, the most powerful support is simply being present and listening. \#\#\# 🤝 3\. Respect Confidentiality What’s shared in the circle stays in the circle. Trust is the foundation of this group, please don’t repeat or post about anyone’s personal experiences outside of the meetup. \#\#\# 🧘 4\. No Judgment\, No Fixing Everyone’s experience is valid. This isn’t a space for therapy or debate, but for compassionate sharing. Let’s honor each person’s truth without trying to “fix” or analyze it. \#\#\# 🌍 5\. Diversity Is Our Strength We celebrate people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities. Discrimination, harassment, or exclusion of any kind will not be tolerated. Bring curiosity and kindness, we learn so much from each other’s perspectives. \#\#\# 🕊️ 6\. Honor the Flow Please arrive on time if you can, and stay as long as feels right. Our events are flexible, but being punctual helps maintain the shared rhythm and presence in the group. \#\#\# 📍 7\. Be Mindful of Space and Time Keep introductions and sharing brief so everyone has a chance to speak. If you’re speaking, take a breath, and make room for others. If you’re quiet, know that your presence still matters deeply. \#\#\# ☕ 8\. Kind Curiosity Over Critique It’s okay to disagree, that’s part of rich conversation. But let’s do so mindfully, with respect and empathy. Ask questions to understand, not to challenge. \#\#\# 🌸 9\. This Is a Shared Space\, Not Therapy Mindful Mingle is about community and connection, not a substitute for therapy or crisis support. If you’re struggling, please know you’re not alone and professional help is always encouraged. We’re here to listen and care, not to diagnose or treat. \#\#\# ✨ 10\. A Final Note Mindful Mingle is a living community, these guidelines grow with us. By showing up with kindness, honesty, and openness, you help create the safe, heartfelt atmosphere that makes this group special. Thank you for being part of it. 🌿 **\*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\*** Hello, dear friends, My name is Alicja and I'll be taking over as the host of Mindful Mingle. I’m really glad to step into this role and continue what Behnam has built over the years − a community of empaths of all walks of life and ages coming together to connect and share their experiences. It feels both exciting and a little challenging but on the other side of fear is freedom and I'm willing to take that leap. In the past, I held space for women's circles for two years before I moved to Berlin so it’s meaningful for me to return to something I care deeply about − this time in a mixed group, which I’ve been wanting to explore for a while. I intend to uphold the values and guidelines of the Mingle, so if you would like to be part of the journey, join us at an upcoming meeting!
