STARRY HOUR; Zeiss-Großplanetarium
TRAVEL WELL:
People with superior communication abilities travel better. Fact. We make our own luck by communicating the best we can. Maybe I’m part idiot, but I believe in the innate decency of people, that people will be respectful, and that if someone does not update their RSVP and fails to attend it could be that they have had a serious accident and are in hospital. I suspect however, that many people are simply very inconsiderate, inconsiderate of the effort and time that go into organising gatherings. Communication begins the morning of the gathering, several hours before the gathering, and the method of communication is the democratic and securest messenger: Signal Messenger, which is also owned by a non-profit foundation, not by a billionaire.
ENGLISH:
Fantastic Berliners,
on Thursday 26th of March we are visiting the Zeiss Major Planetarium for the Starry Hour at 6:30pm.
https://www.planetarium.berlin/veranstaltungen/sternstunde
You need to buy a ticket...
https://planetarium-berlin.ticketfritz.de/Event/Detail?Event=11322
This Starry Hour is in German, as far as I’m aware. From experience I know that we need quite good German language skills to understand a Starry Hour.
We are meeting from 5:30pm at the Zeiss Major Planetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, near S Prenzlauer Allee, where there is seating and possibly also a Café or Bar.
Please read the comments to get the information about seating places.
We can communicate through both the Signal Group and the Meetup Chat. You’ll find the link for the Signal Group in the comments.
The question, “Does the Starry Hour have something to do with poetry? It doesn’t say anything about poetry...” was put to me. Well yes, poets often reference the stars, as far as I’m aware, which is a direction into astronomy, or even a gentle encouragement that we should keep our heads up and maintain our wellbeing. For example, the poet Philip Larkin in the poem ‘The North Ship’, in the first poem, tells with hwyl, “Under an fire-spilling star,”. For Poetry & Puls there is the context of the starry sky above us, as when we have no knowledge of astronomy we can’t read the poetry. Since we are interested in reading poetry, Starry Hours are good. Knowledge of the stars is also good for people on the move, and we like to often be on the move.
To the Starry Hour, the conversation, and the comradery!!
DEUTSCH:
Großartige Berlinerinnen und Berliner,
am Donnerstag 26. März besuchen wir Zeiss-Großplanetarium für die Sternstunde um 18:30.
https://www.planetarium.berlin/veranstaltungen/sternstunde
Man braucht eine Eintrittskarte...
https://planetarium-berlin.ticketfritz.de/Event/Detail?Event=11322
Diese Sternstunde ist auf Deutsch, soweit ich weiß. Von Erlebnis weiß ich, dass man ziemlich gutes Deutsch haben muss, um eine Sternstunde zu verstehen.
Wir begrüßen uns ab 17:30 Uhr bei Zeiss Groß Planetarium, Prenzlauer Allee 80, in der Nähe von S Prenzlauer Allee, wo es Sitzplätze und eventuell Café oder Lokal gibt..
Bitte liest den Kommentar um Infos über Sitzplätze zu bekommen.
Wir können beides über die Signalgruppe und Meetup Chat kommunizieren. Ihr findet den Link zur Signalgruppe im Kommentar.
Mir wurde die Frage gestellt „Hat die Sternstunde etwas mit Poetry zu tun? Da steht nichts von Poetry...“ Naja, Dichter nehmen oft Bezug auf die Sterne, glaube ich. Das ist eine Weisung in die Astronomie, halt einen Vorschlag, dass man den Kopf hochhalten und aufrechterhalten solle. Zum Beispiel, der Dichter Philip Larkin im Gedicht ‚The North Ship‘, im ersten Gedicht, erzählt „Under a fire-spilling star,“. Für Poetry gibt es die Umgebung von den Sternen, und wenn man keine Kenntnis von dieser Umgebung hat, kann man die Gedichte nicht ganz gut lesen. Denn wir uns für das Lesen von Gedichten interessieren, sind Sternstunden gut. Kenntnis von den Sternen sind auch gut wenn man unterwegs ist, und wir möchten oft unterwegs sein.
Auf die Sternstunde, das Gespräch, und die Gesellschaft freuen wir uns!!

@ Anna Blume - A cozy book swap and chat meetup!
The "classical" bookswap is simple:
* We meet in a café and put the book(s) we brought down on the tables.
* We browse and discuss the books with one another while sipping coffee or hot chocolate, or eating cake.
* We write our names down on any books we’d like to take home (post-its and pens provided).
* At the end of the evening, negotiate any books that are contended and take a new-to-you book home!
Books/happiness shared are books/happiness multiplied! A Bookswap is 10 times better than a Book Club because you can talk about ALL the books instead of just one!
This is a great way to give your books a new home and make room for new books: that book you feel guilty for not having read even though it's been sitting on your bedside table for the last 5 years, the book you liked but didn't love, the book you loved so much you want everyone to read it, the book you somehow own three copies of, that book you absolutely hated even though everyone else loves it, and so on.
Moreover, you will meet fellow readers, get a new book or two, and several book recommendations. We’ve often had readers experience books they wouldn't normally buy and enjoy it.
GROUP EXPECTATIONS for PLEASANT SWAPPING
* Please bring a book! It's not that you bring one you take one, but do try your best to bring something.
* Books stay on the tables, open for sharing, until you are ready to leave so that everyone can have a look. We are notably not first come first serve. Please wait until you are leaving to bag the book.
* If two or more people want the only copy of a book, negotiate. Maybe one of you reads it first and then gives it to the others. Or perhaps they have found another book instead. Or leave it to fate and toss a coin. The best part: now you have found somebody whose taste you can really admire. In any case, please don't walk away with a book with several names on it without letting the others know.
These negotiations are fun and easy, so don't shy away from a book because there's already a name on it, and feel free to put your name on as many books as you find interesting. It's not that you bring one you take one; you may take as many as you can negotiate.
* Political discussions with consent: make sure the people you are talking to would like to have a political discussion with you.
* Please respect this space as first and foremost a community for connecting readers over their love of books and reading, stories, and narratives of all sorts. Please be respectful of tastes and opinions.
* If something is bothering you, please reach out to the organizers, and we'll do our best to resolve it.
* Lastly, don't expect your book back. It will find a new home. If you love it, let it go.
Major LANGUAGES (and genres) of this meetup: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian; Fiction, Non-Fiction, Serious Reading, Light Fun, “classics", Krimis, Booker winners, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Self-Help and more. You never know who can read what languages, and there's no accounting for taste.
We are a delightful and international group of readers.
We look forward to swapping with you!

Language exchange Italian/German at The Castle
Ciao a tutti!
For our event we would like to meet you at 17:00 and have a beer all together, or other drinks.
The goal of our first meeting is to get to know eachother and practice Italian and German.
Please don’t be afraid that your language skills might not be sufficiently good or that you are a beginner. We understand that learning languages is a difficult and long journey.

**Event Info:**
Bring along your **current book to read** (or something **creative** to work on ) and join us for this mix of a shared focus time + discussion.
\- 11:00\-11:30 \- Meet & greet

\- 12:30 \- Discussion of books/ projects over coffee
**Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️

***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?***
Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*.
Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.
See pics from our events below - and on our Instagram: **[@Pausify (Co-Reading Space)](https://www.instagram.com/pausify_org/) ☕️**
