Invitation to Vernissage | May 16
Invitation to Vernissage | May 16
Dear art lovers, I’m happy to invite you to the Vernissage of a group exhibition I’m taking part in this Saturday, 16 May, at Kunstraum Heartspace in Berlin. Back in October, I started giving my Portrait Drawing Workshops at Kunstraum Heartspace, and over these months it has truly become a meaningful place of growth and exchange for me. The exhibition celebrates the **first anniversary of the space** and brings together artists from different disciplines. It revolves around the theme of diffraction and connection, exploring how obstacles can generate unexpected connections. I’ll be showing my latest portrait work, where I further develop the interaction between highly detailed realistic pencil drawing and free, colourful forms. I’d be happy to share this further development of my work with you, have a drink together, and exchange a few thoughts and impressions. **When**: Saturday, May 16th, 2026 **Time**: 4:00 - 10 PM **Location**: Kunstraum Heartspace Danziger Str. 172 - 10407 Berlin **Entrance**: free I'm looking forward to welcoming you there! Alessia

Vernissage & 1st Anniversary Party: Diffraction & Connection
Vernissage & 1st Anniversary Party: Diffraction & Connection
**One year of Kunstraum Heartspace:** One year of heart connections through art. Kunstraum Heartspace is a space for connection, a space where each person's creativity can interfere with the creativity of others, and a space that invites everybody to participate in this connection. For our anniversary exhibition, artists of different disciplines have been invited to explore the theme of diffraction and connection. The theme takes inspiration from the physical phenomenon of interference: When waves hit an obstacle, they will bend around the obstacle. This applies to any type of waves - water waves, sound waves, light waves. Once waves have hit the obstacle, they will connect and interfere behind the obstacle – constructively, or destructively. Connections do not always happen seemlessly. Thinking through the lense of diffraction, obstacles are a necessary component for interference and (re-)connection. Connections can teach us about the different and diffracted parts of ourselves that are yet disconnected. And: Diffraction is an absolutely necessary process in order for us to perceive the manifold colours of life – metaphorically speaking, and literally, physically speaking. A year has passed and the once newborn Kunstraum Heartspace is now entering adult life. This transition, too, does not come without obstacles – but this year has proven to be a powerful testimony of an ever-growing art community with strong and radiant hearts, making Kunstraum Heartspace a beautiful space for real connections. We are looking forward to welcoming you there!

Only confirmed RSVPs are accepted. ✨ The walk is curated and guided by Yuliya, founder of Berlin Ladies Art Culture — a growing community of over 2,000 women passionate about art, culture, and meaningful connection. With a background bridging hospitality, real estate, and creative studies, Yuliya has lived in Ukraine, France, China, and now Berlin — and most recently completed studies at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London. She curates experiences that blend art history, conversation, and exploration — always with the goal of making culture feel alive, shared, and inspiring.

Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you!

📸 Photo Walk & Poetry in the Park 🌿📖 – Social Butterfly Club 🦋
📸 Photo Walk & Poetry in the Park 🌿📖 – Social Butterfly Club 🦋
After a lovely first Poetry in the Park gathering in Bürgerpark Pankow, we’re bringing the idea into a second round — this time with a photographic twist. Join us for a spring afternoon around Schloss Charlottenburg where photography and poetry meet. Bring a poem you love — or one you wrote — and we’ll begin by reading a few poems together. Then we’ll set out for a gentle 30 minute photo walk through the park, capturing details that catch our attention: blossoms, reflections, statues, hidden corners, fleeting scenes. Using the images we gather as inspiration, we’ll meet again on picnic blankets to write short poems from guided prompts and share them in an informal circle. No photography skills needed. No poetry experience required. Just curiosity, observation, and a bit of spring magic. Bring: * A poem to share (optional) * A journal + pen * Your phone or camera * A picnic blanket Duration: approx. 2 hours. This meetup is donation based. Your contribution helps keep this community alive and is highly appreciated.

Vancouver Easy Zoom Dating for Locals
Vancouver Easy Zoom Dating for Locals
**🦋 Speed Dating Live on Zoom for Vancouver Locals Host Guided — Personality First** Joining means you'll spend your time in brief timed Zoom sessions with Vancouver locals paired by quiz results and age range, while a live host keeps things smooth throughout. Before the event, you take a quick personality and preferences survey — we use those answers to pair you with compatible Vancouver locals, so your conversations have a better chance of going somewhere. After the night, mutual match details are distributed — shared only when both sides chose each other — and what happens next is entirely up to you. **Sign up below — pick your age range:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Vancouver&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Do not skip this:** An rsvp here alone does not secure your place, so select your age range link above, fill in the registration, and answer the personality quiz — capacity is restricted so act soon, and RSVP plus full registration is what holds your seat. --- **Quick Details** - **Format:** Host-managed in a hosted Zoom session built around structured one-on-one video dates, compatibility-matched within your age range. - **Where:** At-home — from your desktop laptop or phone, just a webcam and a good internet connection, and any location with good Wi-Fi and a camera works perfectly. - **Host:** A real human host ensures the rounds flow naturally and without awkwardness, which means nothing technical or logistical is on your plate — every transition and every call to move on is handled. - **Vibe:** Casual speed dating sessions with Vancouver singles who are here for the same reason you are, and the whole thing is better than you would expect. - **Duration:** Usually 60-90 minutes all in, though it always seems to go faster. **Great for:** - Professionals from Vancouver who have had enough of digital dating that never converts to anything real and want actual face-to-face conversation. - Returners near Vancouver done with swiping left and right with no results and want to talk to real people tonight. - Someone who live in Vancouver wanting to escape matches that ghost after two messages and prefer structure over ambiguity. - People who live in Vancouver done with matches that ghost after two messages and are after something more than a swipe can offer. **How the night runs** 1. **Start here** – through the link corresponding to your age range, then finish the personality questionnaire, because this is the only way to be confirmed. 2. **Enter the Zoom room** – by opening the Zoom link at the event start, any device works and no download is required, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely. 3. **Meet your matches** – timed one-on-one speed dates with personality-matched Vancouver locals in your group, with the host managing every round transition, because no round here is random — everyone was selected. 4. **Discover your matches** – mutual matches are shared post-event with your info staying private otherwise, since only mutual matches exchange details and everything else stays private, and from there you follow up at whatever pace suits you. ⭐ *"The host made everything comfortable — the personality matching really works"* – returning Vancouver attendee 💡 **Pre-event tip:** close unnecessary browser tabs before the event, so the rounds feel natural from the very start, since a short check now means no issues at the worst moment. --- ✨ One Zoom call, real conversations, real matches — grab your spot above and the host takes it from there in this batch. The rounds are better than you think. 🪷 ✨
Trails & Ales! Blendon Woods Metro Park / Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery
Trails & Ales! Blendon Woods Metro Park / Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery
**History** The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville. Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people. As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support. The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts. In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area. **Map of the Park** Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks. The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.

**Local Cantina -** We'll shut down wine club at 8 pm this evening and take a short walk to our neighborhood Tex-Mex eatery - Local Cantina. Join us after wine club for a snack or meal. Please RSVP early AND Please let me know in the comments if you plan to join us after at the diner so I can have accurate numbers for the reservations. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
