Hi everyone. We'll meet and play a relaxed game of ultimate in Volkspark Rehberge if the weather cooperates. Our games focus on having great team play, where the teams work together to advance the disk down the field. It's more important to work well together as a team than have a few star players get a point with lucky shots. For this reason, players of all skill levels (especially those who have never played) are welcome to join Bring plenty of water, shoes you can run in and comfortable clothing that can get a bit dirty. Although we're an established group, newcomers are always welcome. After the game we try to spend some time together and have fun. Finding us: We meet in this big grassy area, it's a short bike ride from the subway stop Rehberge on the U6 or Amrumer Strasse on the U9. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time, so we've got a few methods to help out (don't trust the meetup map pin, it often shows some point in the park, not the exact spot where we are) 1.

(Englisch below) In diesem Kurs bietet Meister YongHua eine leicht zugängliche Einführung in die Lehren des Reinen-Land-Buddhismus sowie den Mahayana. Finde Ruhe und eine andere Perspektive auf das Leben im Herzen Berlins – Reines Land Buddhismus mit Meister YongHua Mitten im lebendigen Rhythmus Berlins entdeckst du einen Raum der Stille und inneren Gelassenheit. Am Mittwoch, den 20. Mai 2026, laden wir dich von 18:30–20:30 Uhr herzlich zu einem Einführungsworkshop in den Reines-Land Buddhismus in den Räumen der Buddhistischen Gesellschaft Berlin e.V. ein. Dieser Workshop verbindet authentische buddhistische Lehren mit sanftem Stretching und bietet dir die Möglichkeit: 🌿 Stress und Anspannung loszulassen und auch in herausfordernden Momenten ruhig zu bleiben. 🌿 Konzentration und geistige Klarheit zu stärken, um fokussierter und ausgeglichener durch den Alltag zu gehen. 🌿 Mitgefühl und Geduld zu entwickeln, und so Beziehungen auf natürliche Weise zu vertiefen. 🌿Einen Weg zu finden, alles Leiden zu beenden und ewige Glückseligkeit zu erfahren. 🙏 Der Reines-Land-Buddhismus ist heute die weltweit am weitesten verbreitete Praxisform des Buddhismus. Dennoch ist das Reines-Land-Dharma-Tor den meisten Menschen im Westen noch weitgehend unbekannt. Daher besteht das Ziel dieses Workshops darin, eine leicht zugängliche Einführung in die Lehren des Reinen Landes sowie allgemein in den Mahayana-Buddhismus zu geben. 😔 Fühlst du dich erschöpft oder niedergeschlagen? Die Rezitation des Namens des Buddha hilft dem Geist, zur Ruhe zu kommen. Mit weniger zerstreuten Gedanken fällt es leichter, sich zu konzentrieren und die eigene Energie über den Tag hinweg zu bewahren. Viele Teilnehmende berichten von mehr Klarheit, Gelassenheit und innerer Stabilität – ganz ohne Druck oder Leistungsdenken. Das erwartet dich: • Einführung in den Reines-Land Buddhismus • Dehnübungen zur körperlichen Vorbereitung • Gemeinsame Rezitation des Namens des Buddha • Fragen & Antworten Programmdetails: 📅 Datum: Mittwoch, 20. Mai 2026 📍 Ort: Buddhistische Gesellschaft Berlin e.V. (BGB), Wulffstr. 6, 12165 Berlin 🧘‍♂️ Leitung: Meister YongHua, Meister XianXin und die Ehrwürdige XianPu Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos und erfolgt auf Spendenbasis. Alle Interessierten sind herzlich willkommen – es sind keine Vorkenntnisse erforderlich. Fragen oder Anmeldung: 📞 Steffen: +49 170 893 5041 (WhatsApp) 📧 chanreinesland@gmail.com ✨ Eine Einladung, zur Ruhe zu kommen, Weisheit zu kultivieren und mit leichterem Herzen nach Hause zurückzukehren. ________________________________________ In this course, Master YongHua offers an accessible introduction to the teachings of Pure Land Buddhism as well as Mahayana Buddhism. Find peace and a new perspective on life in the heart of Berlin – Pure Land Buddhism with Master YongHua. In the midst of Berlin’s vibrant rhythm, discover a space of stillness and inner calm. On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, we warmly invite you from 6:30–8:30 PM to an introductory workshop on Pure Land Buddhism at the premises of the Buddhist Society Berlin e.V. This workshop combines authentic Buddhist teachings with gentle stretching and offers you the opportunity to: 🌿 Let go of stress and tension, and remain calm even in challenging moments. 🌿 Strengthen concentration and mental clarity, so you can move through daily life more focused and balanced. 🌿 Develop compassion and patience, naturally deepening your relationships. 🌿 Find a path to end all suffering and experience eternal bliss. 🙏 Pure Land Buddhism is currently the most widely practiced form of Buddhism in the world. Nevertheless, the Pure Land Dharma door remains largely unknown to most people in the West. The aim of this workshop is therefore to provide an accessible introduction to the teachings of the Pure Land, as well as to Mahayana Buddhism more broadly. 😔 Do you feel exhausted or low? Reciting the name of the Buddha helps the mind come to rest. With fewer scattered thoughts, it becomes easier to concentrate and sustain your energy throughout the day. Many participants report greater clarity, calmness, and inner stability—without pressure or a performance mindset. What to expect: • Introduction to Pure Land Buddhism • Stretching exercises for physical preparation • Group recitation of the Buddha’s name • Q&A session Program details: 📅 Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2026 📍 Location: Buddhist Society Berlin e.V.

Join me for my **Beginner Calisthenics Class** every Wednesday at 7pm at a park (check the location below) and learn how to build strength, flexibility, and confidence using just your bodyweight. My name is Maroof, and I’ve been practicing calisthenics for the last 4 years. I love this sport because I’m fascinated by the incredible movements the human body can achieve, and I believe calisthenics connects people, builds communities, and is one of the most sociable forms of fitness out there. In this class, we’ll cover the fundamentals like push-ups, squats, and core exercises, and also dive into the basics of more advanced movements such as the planche, front lever, back lever, and freestyle calisthenics, all in a fun, supportive environment where you can progress at your own pace. \*\*No experience needed, just bring comfortable clothes, some water, and a positive attitude. \*\* **Price:** Free. This will be a recurring event every Wednesday unless stated otherwise. **Disclaimer:** * Please keep in mind that you are responsible for your own safety. * Only confirm if you are attending the event, and update your RSVP accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out!

Außerdem machen gute Freundinnen einfach Spaß.** . Deshalb biete ich Freundschaftsworkshop an. . Manche sagen: "Es ist schwierig, in Berlin gute Freundinnen zu finden." Berlin, die Stadt der 1000 Möglichkeiten ... ich kenne das auch. . **🌸 Dann machen wir einen Workshop!** 1. Maximal 40 Frauen. 2. Eine leichte Moderation führt durch den Abend 3. Ihr lernt Euch kennen und habt Spaß. 4. Wer mag, trifft sich wieder. . Du wirst überrascht sein, wie vertraut Du mit vielen nach 3 Stunden sein wirst - so, als ob Ihr Euch schon lange kennt. . **🔱 4 Jahre Arbeit - 1 Workshop** Vier Jahre habe ich geforscht und ausprobiert, wie Menschen Freunde werden & was die Magie der Freundschaft ausmacht. Das Ergebnis ist dieser Abend. . Praxisnahe, schnell umsetzbare Tipps, die Du schnell in den Alltag umsetzen kannst. Kleine Happen zur Theorie. - Und vor allem: Kennenlernen & Spaß haben. Wir probieren einfach miteinander aus. . Eine Teilnehmerin sagte mal zu mir: * "Georg, das ist so eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Danke, dass Du das machst." . Was soll ich sagen? Stimmt. Das ist mein Anliegen 🤗. . . **🎁 Diese Methoden kannst Du in Deinen Alltag mitnehmen.** Ab sofort kannst Du Menschen besser und persönlicher kennenlernen – und damit tiefe Verbindungen und bessere Freundschaften aufbauen. . . **⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:45 Uhr.** * Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's... . **❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?** Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt.

Dort ist eine Tür. * Du klingest bei "Life Artist Hub". Die Tür sollte sofort summen. Öffne die Tür. * Du gehst in den 3. Stock. Da sind wir. 🤗 . **👱🏽‍♂️ Warum moderierst Du als Mann diesen Workshop?** . Hi, ich bin Georg. Ich weiß, ich bin ein Mann. Warum moderiere ich dann diesen Workshop? . Abenteuer Freundschaft ist mein Beruf. Am Anfang war ich auf Männer-Freundschaften spezialisiert. Überraschenderweise waren 60 Prozent der Newsletter-Empfängerinnen Frauen. Frauen scheinen die Wichtigkeit guter Freundschaften viel mehr zu spüren. . Deshalb habe ich letztes Jahr angefangen, Workshops für Frauen anzubieten. Soziale Träger, das Rathaus Schöneberg und das Frauenzentrum Begine haben mich bereits für Freundinnen-Workshops gebucht. Im Frauenzentrum moderiert eine Bekannte die Workshops.... denn da darf ich noch nicht mal rein :). . Unseren Workshop werde ich zurückhaltend moderieren. Ich weiß mit der Situation umzugehen. Das ist Euer Raum. . Für die Männer gibt es alle zwei Wochen am Dienstag einen Männer-Workshop, der regelmäßig gut besucht ist. . . **Mehr über Abenteuer Freundschaft & mich:** 🌎 [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](http://%5Bhttps://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de/%5D(https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de/) "\[https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de\](https://www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de)") . . **👋🏽 Get in touch & stay in touch:** . **✈ Telegram-Kanal: [t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft](http://t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft)** für Events, Workshops & Neuste Erkenntnisse aus der Freundschaftsforschung (Überschriften) . **✉ Freundschafts-Newsletter:** [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter) Alle 4 Wochen das Neuste aus der Freundschaftsforschung; oft seltener, denn ich schreibe nur dann, wenn es wirklich etwas zu berichten gibt. . **🔥 6 Zutaten großartiger Freundschaften** Seit 2020 forsche ich, was großartige Freundschaften wirklich ausmacht.

Join us for a two-day Botanical Watercolour experience, where we’ll step out of the studio and into two *almost hidden* gardens in Friedrichshain to paint plants directly from life 🌿 Over two days, we’ll meet in two different, *almost hidden* gardens in Friedrichshain—quiet green corners of the city where we can slow down, observe, and paint plants directly from life. Think wild flowers, textured leaves, unexpected shapes, shifting light… and the simple joy of painting outdoors. This is more than just a meet-up: **it’s a guided class designed to help you grow your skills while you enjoy the process.** We’ll start each session exploring essential watercolour techniques—wet-on-wet, layering, colour mixing, and transparency—and then apply them to what we see around us. You’ll learn how to approach different types of plants, how to simplify complex forms, and which techniques and effects work best for each subject. No experience needed—just curiosity, and a love for plants, light, and slow summer days 🌱 The workshop includes **two classes**, but you’re also welcome to join individual sessions. **When:** Wednesday 13 + 20 May From 6 to 7.30 PM **Where:** Friedrichshain, Berlin (You will receive the exact address by e-mail) **Price:** 50€ for the whole workshop (2 classes) Single class 27€ / Paypal & Bank Transfer **Material:** You will need a watercolour set, watercolour paper (or sketchbook) and brushes. If you need suggestions about the material, get in touch. If you need some recommendations, this might help: **[Quick Material Guide](https://www.instagram.com/p/DBRDE95Ia5D/?img_index=2)** **To book your spot:** Please confirm here: **hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com,** and you will receive the payment details and the exact address. ***Super small groups!

PRINT / OBJECT by Atelier Māya This print exploration is a relaxed and social textile print session designed to help you slow down, explore, and create something uniquely yours. In this 2-hour workshop at Atelier Māya, you’ll be guided through a simple and enjoyable process: our unique flow test print session leading to a final textile piece. You’ll start by experimenting with our print tools, colour, and mark-making. In the Print Thinking process, you will get a feel for the materials without pressure. You will explore before creating your own composition. The session is intuitive and open. There’s no right or wrong way to work, and no expectation to be “creative” or experienced. Many participants are surprised by how quickly they settle into the process, letting go of perfection and simply enjoying the act of making. We’ll introduce you to Māya’s unique application tools and hand-mixed, eco-friendly studio inks, and support you throughout as you build your final piece. A variety of organic and cotton textile surfaces will be available, including the Māya Travel Pouch and Māya Maxi Tote. You’re also very welcome to bring your own light coloured, natural fibre textiles to experiment on. This is a calm, welcoming space to switch off, experience an analogue textile research atelier and try something new. You will spend a few hours creating in good company. No experience needed, come as you are. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)
