Please register on Luma -> https://luma.com/xr5n7hre It's time to relax, grab a glass of wine and join fellow creatives in Berlin for an evening of conversation and connection! This event is all about **casual conversations and real connections**. Whether you’re a graphic designer, photographer, marketer, filmmaker, content creator — or just starting — this is your chance to meet like-minded people, share ideas, and maybe even spark a collaboration… all over a glass (or two) of wine. Here’s what’s in store: * **Meet & Chat:** Swap stories, share experiences, and get to know other creatives in the city. * **Wine & Network:** Grab a drink at the bar and let the conversation flow naturally. * **Inspiration & Ideas:** Talk challenges, brainstorm, and walk away with fresh perspectives — and maybe new friends. No pressure. No formalities. Just good wine, good conversations, and the chance to be part of Berlin’s vibrant creative community. Come as you are, pour yourself a glass, and let’s make some meaningful connections together. ✨

✨ Hello Desi Girls! ✨ I started this group earlier this year to create a welcoming space for desi girls to connect, support each other, and make spontaneous plans together. What started small has now grown into a wonderful community! 💕We are within the avg age of 25-35ish. We plan brunches, bollywood movie nights, walks and have a cute lil girl community which never leaves you feeling alone. So come discus brown girl makeup, skin care, relationship and dating problems, men (lol), hair care and recipes and everything that you love talking about! If you’re interested in joining us, I encourage you to come to one of our meetups. This is the ONLY way to be part of the community- keeps the trust and support going. PS- This event is only for women from south asian community. ❤️

\*\*\*\*\*\* ***For address and more details see the website.*** \*\*\*\*\*\* **This time, we’re adding a little Christmas twist to the Pausify routine!** On December 19, our focus section will take a slightly more **interactive** form — alongside the usual calm atmosphere, we will be swapping the cold Berlin evening for food, crafts, music, drinks, games and very good company 🎄✨ Join us for an evening of **Glühwein**, **Christmas snacks**, **great company,** and **live music** by an international artist, meet lovely people & enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. Also, feel free to bring your favourite board games! PS: Prefer to keep it calm? Totally fine. If you’d rather just unwind and enjoy your usual quiet focus time at Pausify, you can do that too. The focus session and discussion round will still follow the same rhythm as usual, with a chance to share what you’ve been reading or working on. 💛 ***AND HOW DOES OUR REGULAR EVENT WORK? =>*** 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. \- Meet & greet \- Silent focus time \(60 min\) \- Discussion of books/ projects over drinks **Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️ * **To reserve your place, a ticket (€9,90/event) or a community pass (only €14,90/MONTH) [from the website](www.pausify.org) is required** * **Attendance here doesn’t show all sign-ups from other platforms.** ***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/) ☕️**📚 **[Pausify Co-Reading Space Website](www.pausify.org/)** For questions, please contact us over [Website](www.pausify.org/) as this platform can have issues.

The "classic" 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 organisers, 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

We are going to be seated together at **the big table on the 1st floor** of the cafe. As always, we will do **two sessions of each 45 minutes** of writing with **one break of 15 minutes** in-between. We are making reservation and counting on you to show up, so please register only when you are going to be there, don't forget to update your RSVP if you can't come. Unfortunately cafes in Berlin are getting less and less laptop-friendly, please don't forget to order your drink or snack to support the cafe which will have us. If you are new to the meetup, don't worry, just come and say hi to the organizer. We also have many long-term regulars who will be happy to help you out and feel welcomed. We also have a **Telegram chat**: https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw For more information, visit: https://shutupwrite.com Looking forward to see you! 😊

Hey everyone! I’m organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂 To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-) ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro** * Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...* * ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) * ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. * Repeat * Conclude and celebrate your progress Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there 🩵 **\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***
