**💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)** **Du möchtest Deine Freundschaften, Partnerschaft & Arbeitsbeziehungen verbessern? Dieser Worskhop kann ein großer Schritt dazu sein.** Beziehungs- und Bindungstypen sind ein weit verbreitetes Modell, um typisches Verhalten in verschiedensten Beziehungen erklären. Warum klammert jemand? Warum Drama? Warum Rückzug? Warum Kälte? Warum Unsicherheit, Nervosität und Ärger? --- und wie sieht eine sichere & gute Beziehung aus (und fühlt sich an). Die Annahme: Ereignisse der frühen Kindheit & der Erziehungsstil unserer Eltern prägen, wie wir als Erwachsene unsere Partnerschaften, Freundschaften & Arbeitsbeziehungen leben. Für manche gut. Für manche weniger gut. Ich setze mich mit den Beziehungstypen auseinander, weil ich glaube, dass sie einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Gestaltung von Freundschaften haben (und auf Liebesbeziehungen sowie menschliche Beziehungen jeglicher Art). Dabei habe ich entdeckt, dass ich oft einen vermeidenen Beziehungsstil habe - ich weiche lieber aus, trenne mich oder spreche Probleme nicht an, weil ich wahrscheinlich in meiner Kindheit aus unterschiedlichen Ereignissen gelernt habe... dass bringt eh nichts, ich kann anderen nicht vertrauen, das macht man nicht, meine Bedürfnisse sind nicht wichtig, usw. In der Auseinandersetzung mit den Beziehungs- / Bindungstypen habe ich bemerkt, wie gut es mit tut, mit anderen mich darüber auszutauschen. Weil: * Ich bin nicht allein. * Ich lernen die Gefühle anderer kennen * Ich entwickle ein gutes Gefühl für die anderen Beziehungsstile (nicht nur meinen) * Ich löse das Thema für mich Schritt für Schritt - und werde immer sicher in meinen Bindungen & Beziehungen. In eine Workshop-Beschreibung zu schreiben, dass ich mich oft beim vermeidenden Beziehungsstil entdecke... ist kein Vermeiderverhalten mehr 😊. Halleluja! . **🎁 Das kannst erwarten** Ich lade Dich zu diesem Workshop ein, damit Du einen weiteren Schritt Richtung mehr Leichtigkeit & Ehrlichkeit in Beziehung gehen kannst. Ich werde eine kleine Einführung zu den Bindungsstilen geben - und dann steht der Austausch miteinander im Mittelpunkt: * Was sind Situationen, die mich triggern? * Wie geht es mir dann? * Wie reguliere ich mein Nervensystem? Meine Erfahrung ist: Austausch & Offenheit hilft, mit sich selbst und anderen relaxter zu werden. . Ein Link oder ein Buch zur Vorbereitung findest Du weiter unten. Es wäre gut, wenn Du eines von beiden bereits gelesen hättest oder von anderer Seite Vorwissen zu den Bindungstypen / Beziehungstypen hast. . . **⏰ Die Türen sind offen ab 18:15 Uhr. Komm am besten schon 18.15 Uhr** Mantel aufhängen, Toilette, eine Runde schwatzen und los ... . **❓ Darf ein zweites Mal kommen?** Ja, sehr gern. Ich halte es sogar für sinnvoll, mehrfahr zu kommen, wenn Dir der Workshop gefallen hat: Das Thema vertiefen, die eigenen Beobachtungen aus den letzten Wochen verarbeiten und sich mit neuen & alten Bekannten über das Thema weiter austauschen. 💬 **Agenda** 18:15 Uhr - Doors Open & Ankommen 18:30 Uhr - Start des Workshops * Einführung, Vorstellung * Kleines Kennenlernen * Einführung in das Thema durch mich * Verständnisfragen * Verschiedene Austauschrunden mit Vertiefungsfragen (der größte zeitliche Anteil) * Offene Fragen 21:30 Uhr - Ende . Zwischendurch machen wir eine kleine Pause. . Tausche Dich mit Gleichgesinnten über ein wesentliches Thema Deines Lebens aus. Du kannst immer wählen, mit wem Du Dich in welcher Tiefe unterhalten möchtest. Dein Gegenüber natürlich auch :). Nein heißt nein, Ja heißt Ja 🤗 . **🏠 Der Veranstaltungsraum** * Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Kieztreff in Berlin Mitte (mit sauberen Toiletten!). * nähe Hackescher Markt. Sehr gut mit den Öffis zu erreichen. * Wenn Du vor Ort ankommst, ist alles ausgeschildert. . **🎒 Das bringst Du mit ...** * Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!) * Wenn Du magst: Zettel und Stift. * Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben * Bargeld für den Wertschätzungsbeitrag (10-20 Euro) . 📋 **Kann ich mich vorbereiten?** Ja! Vielen Menschen sind die Beziehungstypen bekannt. Wenn Du etwas Grundwissen hast, ist das sehr nützlich für den Workshop. Ansonsten empfehle ich diesen Link zu lesen: Link: [Welcher Beziehungstyp bin ich?](https://chrisbloom.de/blog/welcher-beziehungstyp-bin-ich-mit-test/) Dieses Buch ist eine sehr gute Einführung in den Workshop. Der Workshop wird sich daran orientieren: * **[Buch: Warum wir uns immer in den falschen verlieben](https://amzn.to/498A9js) (Werbung, Amazon-Link)** [Werbung: Als Amazon-Partner verdiene ich an qualifizierten Verkäufen.] Das Buch orientiert sich an Liebesbeziehungen, die Erkenntnisse sind meiner Meinung nach aber auf alle menschliche Beziehungen anwendbar. 🚫 **Was ist der Workshop nicht:** Der Workshop ist kein therapeutisches Angebot. Dafür bin ich nicht ausgebildet (bisher noch nicht mal im Selbststudium). Wenn Du aufgrund der Erkenntnisse beim Lesen des Buches, der Links oder der Gespräche auf dem Workshop zum Ergebnis kommst, dass eine Therapie für Dich sinnvoll sein kann, dann wäre das ein richtig guter Schritt. . 💫 **Warum der Workshop gut für Dich ist** * Ich glaube: Niemand ist perfekt. (und gleichzeitig deshalb genau richtig 🙂) * Ich glaube, dass jeder in wenigstens minimaler Form manchmal Arten von unsicheren Bindungsverhalten zeigt * Gleichzeitig wird jeder im Leben mit Menschen zu tun haben, die ein unsicheres Bindungsverhalten zeigen. . Mit sich selbst und anderen reflektiert umgehen zu können, finde ich eine zentrale Fähigkeit im Leben. . Ich finde, dass gute menschliche Beziehungen sind der zentrale Schlüssel zu einem erfüllten Leben sind (das finden laut Jacobsstudie übrigens 85 Prozent der Menschen in Deutschland). . Die Bindungstypen / Bindungsverhalten sind meiner Meinung nach ein zentrales Modell, um gute menschliche Beziehungen führen zu können. . 🧑🏼 **Mehr über mich:** Ich forsche seit 5 Jahren zu guten Freundschaften, wie man diese aufbaut und vertieft. Du erfährst mehr über mich auf [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de).

Importante: O grupo é ativo e o encontro acontece toda segunda (geralmente tem pelo menos 10 participantes, mesmo que não apareçam aqui no aplicativo). A gente se organiza mais por um grupo de WhatsApp do que pelo MeetUp. Entre em contato com Timur para ser adicionada/o ao grupo de WhatsApp. Hallo Leute / Oi, pessoal! Hallo an alle! Montag machen wir einen Sprachaustausch Portugiesisch-Deutsch. Wir treffen uns um 19:00 Uhr im Yorkschlösschen. Es ist egal, ob du bereits gut Portugiesisch sprichst oder erst dabei bist, die Sprache zu lernen, lass uns gemeinsam üben! Wir sehen uns dort :) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Temos um evento bacaninha para quem quer praticar alemão e/ou português em Berlin. Vamos nos encontrar às 19:00h no Yorkschlösschen. Não importa se você já fala bem alemão ou se tá só aprendendo, vamos praticar!

Liebe Freunde des gesprochenen Wortes, Ob es darum geht, ein Meeting zu leiten oder im Familienkreis einen Toast auszusprechen – diese Situation vor Menschen zu stehen und etwas zu vermitteln kennt so gut wie jeder. Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern. **Was macht unseren Club besonders?** Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen. **Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?** Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht. Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen! Hier findest du die genaue Wegbeschreibung: www.mut-und-rede.de/kontakt#anfahrt Um besser planen zu können freuen wir uns über vorherige Anmeldung: kontakt@mut-und-rede.de https://www.mut-und-rede.de Es findet grundsätzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk featuring Michael Geiger will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.

*GOhio!* turns 8!! 🥳 Come celebrate with us at [Pins Mechanical](https://www.pinsbar.com/locations/easton)! 😄 **Summary** Pins Mechanical Co. is a social entertainment venue that combines old-school games like duckpin bowling, pinball, and other classic arcade and table games with craft cocktails, local beers, and punch. The vintage-industrial atmosphere is designed for playful, face-to-face gatherings with friends, family, and colleagues, offering a casual and lively alternative to a typical bar. Pins' Easton location spans over 38,000 square feet, making it the largest in the United States. This massive entertainment venue features two floors, a mezzanine level with stadium seating, and three full-service bars. It offers 16 duckpin bowling lanes, two indoor bocce courts, and more than 60 classic and modern pinball and arcade games. For additional fun, the location is known for its two outdoor patios, an indoor slide, and an expanded patio pong setup. **Activities** As noted below, some machines take actual quarters. Pins has two change machines (one downstairs and one upstairs) that accept ones, fives, or tens (only), and return quarters (only). * *Duckpin Bowling* [Like Bowling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duckpin_bowling) but with smaller balls, stubby pins, and no oil on the lanes. The cost is $9 per game per person. * *Pinball* [Who](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who)'s a [wizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball_Wizard) on these [retro machines](https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15311)? At $1 per play, everyone! Takes quarters. * *Arcade* Play classics like Gorf, Pac-Man, Gorf, Donkey Kong, Gorf, Galaga, and Gorf! The best part is, there's Gorf! And all the arcade games are free! * *Patio Pong* The classic college party staple but bigger. Instead of tossing a ping pong ball into cups, you use a regular ball and oversized buckets. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Ping Pong* The most popular sport in China! They have two ping pong tables downstairs and two more ping pong tables upstairs. For those of you who have studied topological spaces and set theory, you will know this means they have four total ping pong tables. They have bubble gum dispensers with ping pong balls in them for 25¢ each. The dispensers take quarters. However, they also have racks where they store the ping pong paddles, and in these racks are slots for ping pong balls. It's not uncommon to see balls already here, so there's a chance you may be able to play ping pong for free if you want to. * *Hookie* You can't put your eye out! The safe alternative to darts: Hook thrown rings on a board. Outdoors on the upstairs patio, and free! * *Bocce* Like bowling, except there’s turf and a lot more balls. You can also knock your opponent’s balls out of the way. There are two of these upstairs, and they're both free! * *Foosball* Everyone loves [foosball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_football)! 50¢ a game. Takes quarters. * *Giant Jenga* Stack massive wooden blocks into a tower, then take turns pulling out one block at a time without collapsing the tower. There are four of these sprinkled throughout the venue (two downstairs and two upstairs, with one on each patio), and they're all free! * *Skeeball* There are three skeeball machines on the first floor (near the Gorf machine!), and they're all free! * *Giant Connect Four* On the outdoor patio upstairs, and free! * *Bubble Hockey* This is upstairs. Up to four people can play at once, and it costs $1. Takes quarters. * *Cornhole* There are two cornhole lanes upstairs, and they're both free! * *Basketball* There are two basketball machines downstairs. They're tucked behind the downstairs bar, so they're not always obvious unless you go look for them. They're $2 per play, and they take quarters. * *NES and Sega Genesis video games* These are collections, downstairs (near the Gorf machine!), of video games that you can play for free! * *The Big Metal Indoor Slide* This large two-story slide is for kids, and certainly no adults would ride this. After all, it's not like it's free or anything. **Outdoor Patio** Pins at Easton actually has two outdoor patios. But for our purposes, only the upstairs one matters. See, it will be winter and likely cold. But their upstairs patio has multiple ceiling heaters and two massive gas fire pits that put out a ton of heat. Sitting out here may be a real option. As mentioned above, the upstairs outdoor patio has one of the venue's two Patio Pong setups, one of their multiple Giant Jengas, the Giant Connect Four, and Hookie. **Food** Pins doesn't serve food, but there's a [Mikey's Late Night Slice](https://www.latenightslice.com/) next door. This Mikey's is basically an extension of the Easton Pins; there's a large open doorway between both establishments. Mikey's has a fountain dispenser with Coke products. You can also get Coke and Diet Coke (but not Coke Zero, like you can at Mikey's) at the bars in Pins, but I think the quality of the soda pop from Mikey's fountain is better than that from the bar hoses Pins uses to dispense soft drinks. You are also quite allowed at Pins to either bring food in or order it in via your favorite delivery app. **Parking** I recommend parking in the [Worth Garage](https://eastontowncenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/parking-at-easton-updated-file-sept-25.pdf). It's literally right next door to Pins, and it's free as long as you park on Level 2 or above. They recently started charging people to park on Level 1, and you pay for parking on this level the same way you pay for street parking in Columbus, with the [ParkColumbus](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parkmobile.parkcolumbus&hl=en_US&pli=1) app. I've seen them enforce this by ticketing people's cars, but I don't know how they actually compel payment. The garage is not a public street that actual cops can write you tickets for parking illegally on. If you have an actual ticket from a cop that you don't pay, they can go so far as to issue a warrant for your arrest. But all Easton has, seemingly, is, "[Please pay our ticket](https://eastonpreferredpark.com/)." Still, in my ongoing efforts to eliminate needless stress and aggravation from my life, I just park above the first Level. The actual address of the garage is [4049 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4049+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388a86de3af559:0xc1dc8b4661fc834f!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11sgzjp4ml?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDkyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). However, your GPS is stupid. The actual entrances to the garage are on the cross steets Brighton Rose Way and Fenlon St, not Worth Ave. Just keep this in mind once you get to the garage. **Where we'll meet** I'll post in the comments where I am. People will obviously want to explore different areas of the venue over the course of the event (and there's a lot to explore), but please just let me know (as in, come find me) once you've arrived. **Peroration** Come on out and say hi! 😄
