If you’re craving more meaning, aliveness, and alignment with what truly matters to you in your work - this evening is for you. ​An intimate dinner evening for people working inside organizations, who don’t just want to function at work but care deeply about shaping things from within. ​This is not a workshop or a networking event. It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect together, and have the conversations that often get postponed in everyday work. ​It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about creating room for clarity, perspective, and one meaningful next step. ​Join us around the table. *Seats are limited to ensure meaningful conversations* 💛 *** **​​This evening is for you, if…** * ​​you desire a deeper sense of meaning and ownership in your everyday work * ​​you miss having inspiring conversations with like-minded people around work * ​​you’re curious how to navigate impact driven projects from within organizations ​We’re looking forward to welcoming you at the table, ​Marielen & Livia *** ​​📍 Berlin, Kreuzberg ​🍝 €11.50 (covers dinner & drinks) ​🦓 10-15 people ​Delicious food. Thoughtful questions. Honest exchange. No rush. *** ​**Why this evening exists** ​Over the last months, we kept meeting amazing people who work inside of organisation (often in a corporate context), who feel stretched by their work - yet still care deeply about contributing to positive change somehow. ​They bring so much care & potential and yet I’ve noticed how often meaningful initiatives never quite take shape, simply because there’s little space or energy to move them forward. ​That’s why we’re experimenting with a small, thoughtful format to create exactly that. ​For now, this takes a very simple form: we’re setting a table and bringing a small group together over dinner. It felt like the most human way to invite reflection, honest conversation, and a sense of hope and possibility. Especially at a time when change within systems can easily feel overwhelming. ​So if someone comes to mind while reading this - a friend, colleague, or collaborator who’s trying to create change from within their organization but might not quite know where to start or how to move forward - feel free to pass this on 💛

**Fellow Humans,** **Here's something most of us haven't stopped to think about:** **The apps you use every day aren't just showing you content. They are quietly shaping who you are becoming.** Social Media is extensively AI-powered. TikTok's algorithm figures out your "niche" within 40 minutes. After that, 80% of what you see reinforces the same version of you. Instagram's feed curates a world of social comparison that consistently lowers self-esteem and body image (results across 48 scientific studies). And the AI tools we use to write and create? They boost individual output while making everyone's work more alike. So this time, we're gathering to explore a question that touches all of us: **When algorithms co-author our feeds, our choices, and our self-expression, what happens to the person underneath?** **Format** 🏛️ Townhall-style conversation: open, participatory, no lectures. We bring research-backed provocations to spark discussion. You bring your experiences, doubts, and observations. **Agenda** ☕ Framing: What research tells us about how AI shapes identity 💬 Provocations and real stories 🔄 Open exchange: What have you noticed? What's changed for you? 🧭 Shared strategies for staying intentional **No tech background needed. Just curiosity and willingness to think out loud with fellow humans.** 👋 **Join our [LinkedIn Group](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/10088542/) and [Substack](https://humanfuturehub.substack.com/)** for articles, perspectives, and resources between events. See you there, Your HFH Team! **Humans, together. Nobody is left behind.** ❤️

The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
