Science of Mind

Beethoven is remembered for his incredible contributions to Western classical music, a music so beautiful that I myself struggle to hold back tears, yet he struggled with landlords, custody over familial relations and women. Ramanujan revolutionised mathematics forever, yet struggled with an incurable disease and downright racism during his time in Cambridge and other so-called "mundane" things of life. Like them, many such great minds in history have their story presented to us with such romanticism that we tend to overlook the fact that they were still humans like us, with simple everyday issues, along with their great work and activities which defined their life and what they are now known for. How shall one find balance between an intellectual activity, a heightened state of mind, thinking across time and the frustrating things like plumbing issues? Hence, for this meetup, the topic is the crossroads between the mundane and the romantic.

*There are always more participants coming as regulars or from other platforms than shown here* \-\-\- We invite you to join our weekly Evenings of Meditation, to gently meet yourself, dissolve stress and live life from beautiful inner states, like calm, joy and connection. These gatherings are not just about meditating on your own, but a step inward we take together. Each time we’ll look into a particular topic in the light of timeless wisdom, reflect on it in a guided meditation, do powerful Oneness practices for greater wellbeing, and experience Deeksha - which helps to speed up your inner growth. **This week's topic: Access solutions more easily** Sometimes, when we face a problem or feel hurt, we tend to analyze it until we become exhausted. There is so much knowledge available that can help, yet for some reason, trying to apply it while in a state of stress often leads to greater disconnection or unsatisfying results. For example, you may say all the psychologically "right" words, yet the wall between you and the other person remains. Let's explore what can help us dissolve conflicts and move into a deeper connection. For more info see: [www.onenessberlin.com](http://www.onenessberlin.com/) 🎟️ **Entry**: € 10 for walk-ins (in cash or PayPal) just for us to pay for the space or **[get a ticket from € 5 >](https://momence.com/l/dah4nwad)** 📍**Where**: Yoga Sky, Am Tempelhofer Berg 7d, 10965 Berlin Follow the Yoga Sky signs in the yard, and take the elevator to the top floor. 🗓 **When**: Sunday, 7th of June, 19:00 - 20:30 Please arrive 5-10 min earlier to settle down. You’re welcome, no matter your background or experience. This is what has worked for us over many years and we love to share it with you. Looking forward to see you, Oneness Berlin Florian & Jazgul

Wir haben uns entschieden den Workshop, der kommenden Sonntag stattfindet, auf deutsch zu halten: 🔥 From BREAKUP to BREAKTHROUGH: Von Trennung zu Durchbruch 🔥 Denkst du noch an deine:n Ex‑Partner:in? Verlierst du dich in Gedanken daran, wie es hätte sein können – oder vielleicht noch sein könnte, wenn du oder die andere Person anders wären? Obwohl die Beziehung vorbei ist, fließt weiterhin Energie dorthin: durch Hoffen, Grübeln, Ärger, Groll oder Bewertungen. Fühlt sich das Loslassen wie ein endloser Prozess an? Oder steckst du in einer „Situationship“, die sich nicht wirklich bewegt? Wir kennen das. Und es hat uns viel Lebensenergie, Zeit und Klarheit gekostet – und auch andere Beziehungen beeinflusst. Deshalb öffnen wir einen Raum für Frauen\*, die in ihren Beziehungen eine echte Vollendung machen wollen – durch Schatten- und Wutarbeit. Das ist ein radikal verantwortungsvoller Raum. Wenn du nicht bereit bist, deinen eigenen Anteil anzuerkennen, ist dieser Workshop nicht für dich. Es ist ein tiefgehender, transformierender Raum, um abzuschließen, was zur Vergangenheit gehört – und alte Emotionen und Energien zu klären, die dir heute noch Lebenskraft entziehen. Hol dir deine Autorität zurück. Nimm deinen Raum ein. Gewinne deine Freiheit zurück. Bist du bereit, keine Aufmerksamkeit mehr einer toten Beziehung zu schenken? Bist du bereit, loszulassen und die Lektionen zu vollenden? Dann sei dabei und erlebe deinen Durchbruch. Mit Liebe und Wut, Johanna & Thea Sonntag\, 7\. Juni 2026 \| 14:00–18:00 Uhr Beitrag: 65–100 EUR (nach Selbsteinschätzung) Ort: Berlin, Neukölln (Adresse nach Anmeldung)

In May, we delve into a story that can depict any of our lives...Perfection by Vincenzo Latronico, set in Berlin in our times. And about a couple of expats. Like many of us. **About the Book** *Perfection f*ollows a couple — Anna and Tom — from southern Europe who move to **Berlin** hoping to build a modern, fulfilling life as digital creatives. On the surface, they live what many would envy: a stylish flat, freelance work they enjoy, houseplants, and image-curated lives shared online. But beneath the curated image lies something quite different... This novel is the "perfect" mirror (forgive the pun here) held up to contemporary life — illustrating how the pursuit of beauty, freedom, and individuality can sometimes lead to the opposite: sameness, dissatisfaction, and a sense of life lived *for the frame*. **About the Author** **Vincenzo Latronico** is an Italian novelist, translator, essayist, and critic, born in Rome in 1984. He studied philosophy in Milan before beginning his career as a writer and translator. His prose is known for observational clarity, minimalist dialogue, and a blend of narrative with cultural reflection — qualities that make his work feel at once literary and sharply attuned to contemporary life. **About the event: Commitment fee** To help ensure accurate attendance and make event planning sustainable, a commitment fee of **€2** is required to confirm your participation. Unfortunately, at a recent event, several participants registered but did not attend or provide any notice. As organizing these meetings requires time, preparation, and resources, this small fee helps encourage reliable RSVPs and attendance. The fee is **non-refundable** if you choose not to attend or do not show up. However, if the event is cancelled by the organizer or rescheduled to a date that prevents you from attending, your fee will be refunded promptly after the change is announced. For special circumstances, like waking up sick and having to cancel last minute, you can write me a private message and we'll transfer the fee to a next event you indicate. You can send the fee here: [https://revolut.me/angelicacorsi](https://revolut.me/angelicacorsi) Please include your MeetUp name in the payment note so I can identify your registration. If you can no longer attend, or if you prefer not to pay the commitment fee, please update your RSVP as soon as possible so your spot can be made available to others. Thank you for your understanding and support. **About the Location** We will meet in Merienda Haus, a wonderful cosy coffee shop offering Argentinean and Uruguayan specialities. I invite you to order something and enjoy their drinks and food menu :=)

Hi folks, this is the meetup group for the weekly Sunday Blood on the Clocktower games in the Soot bar in Manifesto at Potsdamer Platz. We run beginner-friendly and intermediate-level games throughout the afternoon and evening. **Friendly newcomers of all skill levels are welcome, no experience required!** Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”. We are usually able to offer two simultaneous games on Sundays. If you are marked as "attending" in Meetup and are in your seat at 15:00, your place is guaranteed for as long as you want to stay. All other seats are first come, first served. We always run at least one beginner-friendly game of the basic version of Clocktower ("Trouble Brewing") throughout the afternoon and evening. We also usually have enough players for a second intermediate-level game. If you are already very familiar with Clocktower, consider also joining our Tuesday meetup for advanced players, when we play with complex custom scripts and characters. Blood on the Clocktower is a deep, mechanical game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception… think Werewolf on steroids. Each player receives a unique secret role and plays either for the good team – the uninformed majority, gathering info and working with others to solve the puzzle – or the evil team, the informed minority, scheming to eliminate good players and protect their demon from execution. In our beginner games no prior experience is expected and we will gladly explain the game rules to any newcomers. We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a “Revolutionary” pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case. We are very grateful to the wonderful folks at Manifesto for hosting our meetup! **Please support the venue during your visit by buying drinks and/or food.**

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.

Communication is everything in life!

You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
