Calm and Clear - Buddhist Meditation in English
Calm and Clear - Buddhist Meditation in English
Meet like-minded people, get authentic meditation instructions and hang out in our beautiful Buddhist meditation center in the west of Berlin! The practice of meditation is a simple, yet profound practice that helps us to connect with ourselves and gives us tools to release experiences of distraction, agitation, and stress. In the Buddhist tradition, meditation is more than just a way to end the mind´s distraction - it is what helps us to bring our mind home to its true nature. What better way to experience the colourful facets of meditation than with a group of like-minded people? Hence our open meditation sessions always have a social element as well - we like to have a tea and share about our meditation experiences, or whatever else we want to explore. There is also always the chance to ask questions to our experienced meditation instructors. These sessions are held in English and open to everyone - complete beginners as well as those with more experience. The sessions are every week on Friday at 17:00-18:30.

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**
Short Film Production Workshop: Learn by Making a Short Film (4 Days)
Short Film Production Workshop: Learn by Making a Short Film (4 Days)
\*\*\* **Note:** RSVPs made here do not guarantee a spot at the course. In order to register you must go to: [https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/product/first_step_filmmaking_4day/](https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/product/first_step_filmmaking_4day/) Also, by registering for this workshop you get a 1 year membership into the Berlin Film Community's Verein (Officially recognized Non-Profit Association) which costs €30 and gets you an instant 10% off of not only this workshop, but also all paid workshops and seminars we offer. Plus, being a member gets you many other benefits, such as free seminars, access to filmmaking equipment for free, rental discounts at 25p and more! *** There is no better way to learn the basics of filmmaking than by actually doing it. In this **very hands-on 4 day workshop** I will teach you the basics of filmmaking in the most effective and fun way possible, by actually getting your hands dirty making a short film. You will learn the fundamentals of filmmaking by going through the entire process, performing various roles on set such as director, camera operator, lighting technician and sound recorder. This workshop will have a very **limited class size of 12 people**. This ensures that everyone gets the personal attention that learning so much information requires, as well as to allow for a decent amount of time so that you can try each of the different roles. I have tailored this course to make it flexible enough to accommodate people with absolutely zero experience as well as for people who have done a bit of filming. This 4 day workshop is different from my 2 day workshop, the ***[First Step Filmmaking Workshop: Make Your Own Film](https://berlinfilmcommunity.com/product/first_step_filmmaking_2day/)***, in that it goes into additional aspects of filmmaking, such as camerawork, lighting and sound which couldn't be included due to time constraints. We will also work as a group to make one short film together instead of everyone shooting their own film. There will be three days of instruction and practical exercises and one shooting day. To be able to effectively get through the monumental task of shooting a short film in 1 day, we will be working from a prepared script that is very short and simple to shoot. This will allow everyone to work with the actors, shoot with the cinema camera, modify the lighting, and get a grounding in the way a set works. All the equipment and actors necessary for the short will be provided. After we finish the shoot, you will get all the video and audio files so that you can review and edit the footage on your own. Please bring a hard drive with at least 50gb of free space on the last day of the course. While editing is an extremely important part of filmmaking, this course is designed to give you a grounding on the pre-production and shooting of a short film and 4 days just scratches that surface. This course will be super informative, but also fun. I will throw a lot of information at you, but it will be mixed in with some groan worthy dad jokes along the way so you have that to look forward to. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me at ***[alex@berlinfilmcommunity.com](mailto:alex@berlinfilmcommunity.com)***. **Verein Membership and Discount** The workshop costs 550€, or if you are a student or over 65 with ID, you pay 525€. However, if you are not already a member, by registering for this workshop you will get automatically enrolled in a **1 year of membership** into the B**erlin Film Community's Verein** (Officially recognized Non-Profit Association) which costs €30 and gets you an **instant 10% off of not only this workshop**, but also all paid workshops and seminars we offer. Plus, being a member gets you many other benefits, such as free seminars, access to filmmaking equipment for free, rental discounts at 25p and more! So for this workshop, if you are not a member, it will be €550 + €30(membership) - €55(10% member discount) = €525 for a Regular Ticket. If you are already a member, you will get the discount of 10% without having to pay the membership cost, €550 - €55(10% member discount) = €495. **What you need to bring:** * A pair of work gloves in the event that you may handle hot lights. * A hard drive with at least 50gb of free space for the audio and video files. The workshop is conducted in English. **Schedule:** **Day 1:** Saturday March 21st - 09:00 - 16:00 * The basics of visual storytelling * What it takes to direct * Camerawork on set * How to use lighting to set a mood * How to record audio * Open discussion of working on set * Q&A **Day 2:** Sunday March 22nd - 09:00 - 16:00 * Practical exercises using our camera, lighting and sound equipment * Everyone gets to work with all the gear * Homework for Day 3 & 4 * Q&A **Day 3:** Saturday March 28th - 09:00 - 16:00 * Creating a shot list, storyboarding, and camera diagrams * Lighting diagrams for the different scenes * Shooting plan for Day 4 * Further work with camera, lighting, and audio gear * Q&A **Day 4: Shoot Day!** Sunday May 29h - 09:00 - 16:00 * Working with actors * How to work on set * Shooting the script as a group * Everyone gets to perform all roles * Quick review of footage * Downloading of footage to drives * Q&A **About the Workshop Leader:** Hi, I’m Alex DePew and I have been working in the film industry for over 19 years and have led several filmmaking workshops, many of which have been here in Berlin. I absolutely love teaching newbies the ropes and I get tons of joy when I see someone light up as they make a connection between what I am teaching and something they have seen in a movie. When a student then applies that knowledge to their own film, it is a thing of beauty.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
