@ Anna Blume - A cozy book swap and chat meetup!
@ 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 go around to 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!

Sometimes People Are Shit
Sometimes People Are Shit
Have you ever seen a comedian before and thought you yourself, "Boy, oh boy, I'd sure love to give that guy a piece of my mind!" or, "Gee-whizz that was not bad at all!" or "Fuck this person." well then **this is the show for you!** **Sometimes People Are Shit is a show where comedians try out seven minutes of new material that nobody has ever heard before**. Maybe. That I can't quite guarantee but once their sets are over you, the people, get to give your feedback to the comedian. It could be good, it could be bad, but it will always be constructive! **Show starts at 22.00 sharp**. Get there nice and early for some good pre-gaming booze and tell your friends to tell their friends and so on, and so on.

Shinrin Yoku - Waldbaden: Lege Stress ab und tanke neue Energie
Shinrin Yoku - Waldbaden: Lege Stress ab und tanke neue Energie
Du lernst in vier Stunden Shinrin Yoku kennen, um Burnout vorzubeugen, Stress zu reduzieren und im Einklang mit der Natur zu leben – mit deiner Natur! Du bist hier richtig, wenn sich dein Leben gerade so anfühlt: · Du bist permanent gestresst. · Du hast den Eindruck, kurz vor einem Burnout zu stehen. · Du arbeitest zu viel und deine Gedanken kreisen ununterbrochen. · Du schläfst schlecht oder zu wenig. · Du sehnst dich nach Natureindrücken mit allen Sinnen. · Du brauchst eine Gegenwelt zum Schreibtisch. · Dir würde eine Unterbrechung vom Hamsterrad gut tun. · Du suchst eine Gelegenheit, um endlich wieder einmal Ruhe zu finden und Stille zu erleben. · Du wünschst dir ein Instrument zur Entspannung in der Natur, das du überall anwenden kannst? · Oder willst du einfach mal eine ganz neue Erfahrung machen, um Kraft und Energie zu tanken? Dann lerne den Wald mit anderen Augen sehen, entdecke eine neue unbekannte Dimension und mache intensive, sinnliche Wahrnehmungen bei Shinrin Yoku Waldbaden. Tu dir nach einer anstrengenden Woche etwas Gutes. Du hast es verdient. Das Leben ist zu kurz, um es mit Stress zu verbringen. Schenke dir Zeit. Komm bei dir an. Vergiss den Alltag für vier Stunden und genieße außergewöhnliche Erlebnisse in der Natur, in der Stille, mit deinen Sinnen und in deinem Körper. Tauche mit Ritualen in die Stille des Waldes ein. Erlebe die transformierende Kraft des Waldes. Wir kommen aus der Natur, wir sind Teil der Natur und wir gehen wieder in die Natur ein. Deshalb verbinde dich gemeinsam mit diesem Lebenselixier. Wir bewegen uns bewusst: barfuß, langsam und auf verschiedenen Untergründen. Das Bad im Wald ist ein Erlebnis mit allen Sinnen. Du erlebst Rituale, die dich Altes loslassen und Neues erleben lassen: angeleitete Meditationen, Atem- und Achtsamkeitsübungen und mehr. Der Lärm in deinem Kopf, das ewige Gedankenkarussell, kommt endlich einmal zum Schweigen. Du kommst zur Ruhe und bei dir an und lernst naturverbundene Menschen kennen. Du entdeckst Grundzüge der Waldmedizin in Theorie und Praxis. Der Wald ist ein Meer an Molekülen, die deinem Körper und deiner Seele gut tun. In Japan ist längst bekannt: Waldluft ist Medizin zum Eintauchen. Der Shinrin Yoku Workshop schenkt dir Kraft und neue Impulse. Du wirst mit neuen Perspektiven ins anschließende Wochenende starten. Lass dich überraschen, sei offen, lerne naturverbundene Menschen beim Shinrin Yoku kennen. **Anmeldung:** Melde dich gleich zum nächsten Shinrin-Yoku Workshop am Freitag dem 5. Juni 2026 von 15.00 bis 19.00 Uhr an: info@kerstingernig.de Der Workshop ist auf 12 Teilnehmer begrenzt. Erlebe außergewöhnliche Stunden in Resonanz mit der Natur und den besonderen Menschen, die dabei sind. **Wo?** Treffpunkt: Dr. Kerstin Gernig, Haus der ungewöhnlichen UnternehmerInnen, Bertramstraße 125, 13467 Berlin. **Kosten** 49,00 € brutto pro Teilnehmer. **Kleidung** Das Waldbaden findet bei jedem Wetter (außer bei Unwetter) statt. Trage bequeme, wetterfeste Kleidung und feste Schuhe oder Barfußschuhe, wenn du welche hast. **Vorbereitende Lektüre:** [Shinrin Yoku. Wie du sanft Stress reduzierst.](https://www.kerstingernig.de/shinrin-yoku-wie-du-sanft-stress-reduzierst) **Kontakt bei Rückfragen** Dr. Kerstin Gernig: [info@kerstingernig.de](mailto:info@kerstingernig.de)

**⭐ DOORS OPEN AT 19:30. PLEASE ARRIVE BEFORE 8PM! ⭐** The Creative Code Stammtisch is a casual show-and-tell for artists, makers, designers, coders, performers, learners and anyone interested in the use of computing skills for artistic expression. The event is free and open to all, regardless of age, origin, gender or experience. Beginners and first-timers should feel especially welcome! You don't have to be a coder yourself 😃 HOW TO FIND US? Find Prachtsaal Studio by crossing the courtyard next to Cafe Augusta on Jonasstr. 22, 12053 Berlin. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? We start with quick introductions, then open the floor to anyone who wants to present something. There are usually around six 10-minute slots available, plus time for questions from the audience. First-timers are encouraged to share their work. Topics range from net art to computational design and interactive installations all the way to wearable electronics or generative poetry. If you’re wondering whether your own project might fit, take a look at the [Stammtisch archive](https://creativecodeberlin.github.io/Stammtisch/) to see what others have shared in the past. This event is *not* just for coders! New-media artists and anyone working with technology in their art are very welcome to share.

Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers
Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers
**Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers** is a small, curated gathering in Berlin for two kinds of people who almost never end up in the same room: the ones who build things with code, and the ones who build things with imagination. Developers and painters. Engineers and writers. Founders and photographers. In daily life these worlds rarely collide — here, that collision is the whole point. Just a good space, a deliberate mix of curious people, and the freedom to let the evening unfold. Come ready to be surprised by who you meet and where the evening takes you. A room full of curious humans. We’re here to socialize as human beings. And if you do exchange contacts — make it personal, not transactional. **🛠 If You Build Things** · Developers & Engineers · Designers & Product People · Founders · People Who Code for Fun **🎨 If You Create Things** · Writers & Journalists · Photographers · Artists & Painters · Anyone With a Side Obsession 👉 **You can also join via Luma if this event reaches capacity: https://luma.com/0y2yd2q4** Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist. **📝 Note:** You are welcome to attend our social meetup! The event is free. The space is generously hosted for us — the only thing we ask is that you support it by buying a drink, etc. A small gesture that keeps evenings like this possible. **🤝 Community:** This is a space built on curiosity and respect. We keep it that way — for everyone.
Filmmakers & Movie Nerds Meetup #183
Filmmakers & Movie Nerds Meetup #183
Curious what we do? Check our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/filmmakersandmovienerds/) ♥️ Would you like to meet some like-minded filmmakers? Start a project? Or do you need help with a movie you are currently working on? Are you new in the city and you'd like to meet people tinkering with movies? **Then you should join us!** We meet every Sunday. It’s important to us that we get to know each other in person. To create a community of connected people, work, learn and grow together. For film making you need a crew of reliable people with a positive can-do-attitude. This is the place to find them. Together, we will talk about these topics: * What you are currently working on * What you need help with * What would you like to help with * What you you would like to learn This is event is great for: * filmmakers * movie nerds * writers * camera operators * editors * actors * sound recorders * composers * gaffers * producers We are limiting the amount of people, so we can have a structured introduction and discussion. After that we get together loosely with some drinks and chats. And then we mostly go for dinner with a couple of us. **Important information**: *To sustain and grow this amazing community, we started a member contribution that is due every month. The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once or twice without contributing to check us out!*
