Menstruation

**[🎟️ Sign up here to grab your ticket 🎟️](https://luma.com/ftst1berlin)** We are back in Berlin for **our first event of the new year!** **📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?** FTST is a **one-of-a-kind social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk! Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Berlin every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You’ll never have to speak in public if you don’t want to. **🕹 HOW TO JOIN?** **[Take 1 minute to sign up 👈](https://luma.com/ftst1berlin)** Our events are **limited to 30 handpicked guests** to ensure a cozy atmosphere.

Get to the heart of the matter, dive straight into what really counts!” - Matthias 🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika 🗣 “I loved F\*ck the Small Talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda 🗣 "It’s a wonderful experience, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara [Check out our 130+ Google reviews here](https://www.google.com/maps/place/EPIC+LLAMA/@29.4255256,-41.3746386,3z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xf758abc88e22289c!8m2!3d29.4255256!4d-41.3746386?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiAydX55IP9AhWWQjABHejpCCkQ_BJ6BAhWEAg&coh=164777&entry=tt&shorturl=1)[ ](https://goo.gl/maps/TpZy77bfPFkGoikn7)💛 *(these are real humans, we promise!)* **🤓 FAQ** **• What's the age range?** Most people who come to our events are between 24 and 40 years old.

Join us for the **first Berlin meetup of the year** as we bring together **Kong × Kafka × Grafana** for an evening focused on **real-time data, streaming, and observability** 🚀 This meetup is all about learning from practitioners, sharing experiences, and kicking off 2026 with the local data & platform community. As always, expect **high-quality technical talks**, **great conversations**, and **good vibes** — plus **pizza 🍕 and cold drinks** to keep things flowing. *** **🔐 Important** For security reasons, please provide your **Full name and surname** during registration. Our volunteers will verify your registration at the entrance — this is **mandatory** to access the venue. Your information will be used **only** for this purpose. *** **🗓️ Event Details** **📅 Date:** 29.01.26 *** **🕐 Agenda** **18:00 — Welcome & Snacks** Doors open! Grab a slice, meet fellow community members, and get settled. **18:30 — Opening Remarks** A warm welcome from the **Berlin community** and event partners. **18:45 — Tech Talks Begin** 📚 **Talk Details** ### **Talk 01: Keeping data private in real-time pipelines By Olena Kutsenko** **Abstract** We all love real-time data — clicks, payments, rides, messages — but most of it comes with a catch: it often includes personal information we’re not allowed to leak, such as names, emails, locations, or subtle clues that can identify someone. So how do we keep streaming data **useful** and **safe** at the same time? In this talk, we’ll explore practical approaches to protecting privacy in streaming systems using **Apache Kafka**, Apache Flink, and Apache Iceberg. We’ll cover: * Simple techniques like **masking and tokenizing PII** * Why “anonymous” data often **isn’t really anonymous** (the re-identification problem) * Privacy-preserving approaches such as **bucketing, k-anonymity, and adding noise** * How to **balance privacy and data utility** (because over-hiding can make data useless) *** ### **Talk 02: Blackbox Monitoring is Hard! (And Why That’s the Best Part) By Goutham Veeramachaneni** I’ve been experimenting with [Beyla](https://grafana.com/oss/beyla-ebpf/) and [eBPF-based monitoring](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-ebpf-instrumentation) since its inception. While it’s an incredible tool for getting started with zero-code instrumentation, making it work reliably at scale presents a unique set of hurdles. In this session, we’ll introduce Beyla’s architecture and show how it can kickstart your observability journey.But the real story lies in what happens next. Navigating the scaling challenges has been an absolute blast, and we’ve tackled each bottleneck unfazed—sometimes by leaning into the tech, and other times by resorting to white box native instrumentation to gain the granular insights we need.What you’ll learn: * • **The "How":** A technical deep dive into how Beyla works under the hood. * • **The "Real-World":** The specific challenges we faced when moving beyond the initial phase. * • **The "Trade-offs":** A transparent look at the limitations of different approaches, from pure blackbox eBPF to native instrumentation. * • T**he "Product":** Insight into the intricacies of building a new product in a rapidly evolving ecosystem. Whether you are an observability veteran or just starting with eBPF, you’ll walk away with a better understanding of your monitoring stack and the confidence to handle the limitations of the tools you use. ### **Talk 03: Securing and governing both external and internal traffic By Sven Walther** Modern enterprises must secure and govern APIs, event-driven systems, and internal services—without fragmenting control across multiple platforms. This talk shows how a unified management plane brings consistency, visibility, and security across the entire application landscape using Kong Konnect. The session will cover three key areas: * **External connectivity & event exposure** Securely connect partners and customers to your event-driven systems without exposing internal infrastructure directly. * **Internal service governance with Service Mesh** Apply security, traffic control, and observability across your internal network using a service mesh. * **Fine-grained Kafka governance** Enforce policies and security down to the individual message level for internal event streams. *** ### **🤝🏻 21:00 — Networking & Q&A** Connect with fellow developers, data engineers, platform teams, and observability enthusiasts. Share ideas, experiences, and maybe even exchange a LinkedIn connection or two. **21:30 — Event Wrap-Up** *** **📷 Photo Notice** By attending this event, you consent to being photographed. These photos may be used for future community and event promotions. Don’t forget to smile 😄 *** We’re excited to kick off 2026 with the Berlin community and can’t wait to see you there! If you have any questions or are interested in **speaking at future meetups**, feel free to reach out.

### **We are excited to be kicking off our first LSLab Berlin at DKB CodeFactory!** ## **Our Theme: How do we collaborate & unite when there are differences?** We all work with groups and teams of people these days to accomplish our goals. No one works alone. Sometimes there is great collaboration, and sometimes, it just doesn't work. Maybe there are conflicting goals, roles, timelines, or culture clashes. Sometimes it's obvious, and sometimes it isn't. We want to explore in as many ways as possible, using Liberating Structures, what can we do about creating better ways of working together? What are some things that have worked (or not!), to bring better collaboration to the work you do (and the team you do it with)? ## **Our Host** We’re thrilled to return to **DKB,** and excited to see a new space: The CodeFactory. ## **Important Notes** **✔️ About the format** Each event includes Networking & Connecting, Giving and Getting Help and Action Planning. We don’t debrief during the session — on purpose. LSLab is a practice space that mirrors real-work application: learning through doing, engaging, and experimenting. Questions are welcome during the break and after the close. **✔️ New to Liberating Structures? Totally fine.** You don’t need any prior experience. We’re a community of practitioners at all levels — beginners, experienced facilitators, agilists, OD/L&D folks, and people simply looking for better ways to help humans collaborate. You’ll learn by participating, not by being taught. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ### **A Volunteer-Run Community (Just Me Behind the Scenes)** LSLab Berlin is a fully volunteer-run meet-up, organized and hosted by me (Sylvia Taylor). Your donations help cover the essentials that keep this event accessible for everyone: * the meet-up platform * the behind-the-scenes coordination * design team mentoring and support * and the time and expertise it takes to create each session If you’d like to help keep the events free and open to all, you can donate here: 👉 **[buymeacoffee.com/lslabberlin](buymeacoffee.com/lslabberlin)** Thank you! \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* *The* *introduction and instructions are in English, but group or pair work can be done in whatever language you and your group/partner need!* \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

ENGLISH: **INNER GUIDANCE** **A Transformative Movement Workshop** **for all beautiful women / sisters** **Grow · Unfold · Integrate** The Inner GUIDANCE Workshop is an embodied journey into your inner knowing, wisdom, and clarity. Through free-form movement, dance, and gently guided impulses and intention-setting, you are invited to reconnect with your body as a source of guidance, truth, and trust. In a supportive and non-judgmental space, we move to alchemize inner obstacles, awaken joy in the body, express a freer, new version of ourselves, and return to our inner center. Gratitude becomes a shared practice, raising our frequency, cultivating unity within ourselves and with others, and opening us to authentic human connection—expressed through the language of our moving bodies. This workshop creates space to listen deeply to your intuition. You will be supported in letting go of old concepts, strengthening self-trust, and finding the courage to step into growth and transformation—grounded, embodied, and aligned. No prior dance experience is required. There is no right or wrong way to move—only the willingness to connect with your inner compass: your body. Move toward your new self, guided from within. Come just as you are and wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement. **Energy exchange:** 20 Euro (normal), 15 Euro (reduced) The session may be held in German and/or English, depending on the needs of the participants. **Please register via email, PM, Meet Up or Eventbrite:** EMAIL: soulbalance@mail.de I look forward to holding space for you. With love Mira (Certified Transformative Dance Facilitator & Integrative Dance Educator) *Note: This workshop is not therapeutic; your well-being remains your own responsibility.

What happens when incense and wine share the same air? In this intimate session, we pair natural incense with selected wines to explore how scent shapes taste, memory, and mood. As incense burns gently in the background, each sip unfolds differently — softer, rounder, more present. This is not a typical tasting, but a ritual of attention, guided slowly and intentionally. **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)

CLOSER x-dance is open to all, creating a safe(r) space for different horizons, sexual orientations and experiences. ***No previous experience required.*** **✦ WHAT IS CLOSER x-dance ✦** CLOSER x-dance is a dedication to unshackling any chains that teach us to separate our inherent er-t\*c aliveness from the rest of ourselves.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

If you would like to participate in a fun gift exchange please bring a wrapped $5 sweet treat 😋
