*After reserve, I will send you an email to confirm your place.*
**A two-session sustainable experience inspired by folk characters and traditional mask-making. You will design and create your own character mask in a hands-on and creative way.**
**Guardians are masks with presenceâimagined characters that accompany and bring personality to a space**. You can create a small or large mask, designed either to wear or to hang.
**Day 1:** Inspiration & Mask Building
*"In Japan, masks often embody transformation, character, and symbolic presence.*
*In the Andes, masks connect animals, imagination, and collective storytelling (...)"*
We begin with a visual introduction to mask-making across cultures, exploring how artists draw inspiration from celebrations, nature, animals, and imaginary characters to create expressive forms.
Youâll bring your own idea (or choose from a selection of references) to design your Guardian character. You can choose between different formats â wearable masks or small sculptural faces for the wall â working with accessible materials such as recycled cardboard, papier-mĂąchĂ©, fabric, and mixed textures.
**Day 2:** Painting & Finishing
In the second session, we bring the characters to life through colour, texture, materials and detail. You will choose a colour palette and combine acrylic paints with acrylic markers to create different finishing effects. The workshop closes with a relaxed sharing moment, where participants can present their character and creative process.
**All basic materials are included:** *cardboard, paper, paste, papier-mĂąchĂ©, acrylic paints, fabrics, threads, and decorative textures.* You are welcome to bring \*personal materials \* if you wish â colours, fabrics, small objects, or symbolic elements you would like to incorporate into your piece.
* Where: At my studio in **10963 Kreuzberg, Berlin**. Itâs a bright, sunny space âïž Iâll send you the exact address by email after you fill out the form.
It will be fun!

Landlords Meetup: The Rental Agreement â How to Properly Rent Out an Apartment
**Landlords Meetup: The Rental Agreement â How to Properly Rent Out an Apartment**
With a **specialized real estate lawyer** and the Black Label Properties team. Renting out an apartment in Berlin has become increasingly complex. From legally compliant rental agreements and tenant selection to regulations around rent increases and liability risks, many landlords underestimate how important the legal framework really is until problems arise.
In this meetup, we focus on one of the most critical aspects of successful renting: **the rental agreement itself**.
Together with an **experienced real estate lawyer**, weâll discuss what landlords need to pay attention to when **renting out property** in todayâs market, which clauses matter, where common **legal mistakes occur**, and how to protect yourself as an owner from **avoidable risks**.
Rather than theory, this session is designed to give landlords practical clarity on what actually matters in **real-world rental situations**, from contracts and compliance to long-term security as a property owner.
**Join us for an evening of practical insights, open discussion, and high-level networking with landlords, investors, and property owners at the Black Label Villa.**
The Improv Showcase
A showcase of Berlin's freshest improv troupes! It's a full night of English-language improv featuring three up & coming groups. Hosted by Destructive Creation, performing the magic of the Cat's Cradle!
Doors: 19:30, Show: 20:00

Authentic Belonging Connection Circle
***An Evening of Authentic Relating, Attunement and Connection***
What becomes possible when authenticity and belonging meet?
This first Authentic Belonging Circle is an invitation to slow down, arrive more fully in yourself, and explore genuine connection with others.
Together we'll create a space rooted in play, supported by clear boundaries, and open to depth.
During the evening, we'll explore a blend of Authentic Relating games, partner exercises, embodied practices, and Circling. Some moments may be light and playful, others more intimate and reflective.
You are invited to:
âą connect with yourself and others in new ways
âą practice deep listening and authentic expression
âą explore what it feels like to stay connected to yourself while relating
âą cultivate greater presence, attunement, and belonging
No previous experience is needed. Whether you're new to these practices or already familiar with them, you're warmly welcome.
The circle is held by Manuela, a systemic coach and facilitator trained in Authentic Relating, Heart IQ, TEPP, and other relational and embodiment-based approaches. (Learn more at [authentic-belonging.com](https://authentic-belonging.com/))

DJ Workshop
DNA. Presents "DJ WORKSHOP"
**Curious about DJing and ready to try it Yourself?**
This beginner-friendly workshop is Your first real step behind the decks. In 90 minutes, DNA. Member CZECH STRINGS â a multi-genre DJ with 10+ years of experience â walks You through everything You need to know to make Your first mix. No prior knowledge of DJing, music theory, or equipment is required. Zero.
â
**What the workshop covers:**
The session starts with the essentials: what a DJ actually does, what their role is, and how it all comes together. From there, CZECH STRINGS explains the gear using the decks available at the spot as a live example, applicable to any DJ setup You might encounter in the future.
**You will learn the core technical skills needed for Your first transition:**
\* Beatmatching â how to align two tracks in tempo
\* Cueing â how to prepare the next track for a seamless entry
\* Track structure and phrasing â understanding how tracks are built so You know when to mix
The teaching happens live from behind the DJ decks. You can follow from Your seat or gather around and watch up close. CZECH STRINGS demonstrates everything on Electronic Music, but can switch to any other genre on request. The techniques taught apply to all rhythmic music.
A part of the session is dedicated to hands-on practice. You will get the chance to step up to the decks and try it Yourself.
â
**Do You need to bring anything?**
Nothing is required. If You'd like to bring Your own music on a USB stick, You're welcome to, but it will only work if the stick is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) / FAT32 and the tracks have been analysed in Rekordbox beforehand. If that means nothing to You right now, don't worry. There's plenty of music ready to go.
The atmosphere is supportive, focused, and hands-on. This workshop is for anyone curious about DJing who wants to understand the craft, touch real equipment, and leave with a solid first foundation.

Neurodivergent Workshop with Futurium: What the future holds
This interactive workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to actively engage with and reflect upon the possibilities of tomorrow.
**Organized in collaboration with [Futurium](https://futurium.de/en)**[,](https://futurium.de/en) the session is designed to be participatory, blending reflection, discussion, and creative hands-on activities.
**Location:** **[Futurium](https://maps.app.goo.gl/uqRAq7npeFKubvbu5)**, see the workshop room on the map attached in this event.
đž We will be documenting the event. However, we will fully anonymize all participants by covering faces with stickers in the final media. If youâd prefer not to be in any shot at all, you are welcome to step away briefly during those moments.
**What to expect:**
* **Introduction (approx. 20 minutes)**
We begin with a journey into the pastâexamining historical postcards from the 19th and early 20th centuries that depict imagined futures. Participants are invited to explore and discuss these images together, considering what feels surprising, what turned out to be accurate, and how past visions compare to the technologies we know today.
**Optionally,** we will also screen a short video featuring young people from 1966 sharing their predictions for the year 2000âoffering an additional prompt for reflecting on how future visions are shaped by their historical and cultural context.
* **Interactive Exchange (approx. 20 minutes)**
Next, participants take part in a guided âopinion swapâ exercise using prompt cards. This dynamic format encourages movement, discussion, and the exchange of diverse perspectives within the groupâmaking space for a wide range of voices and viewpoints.
* **Creative Activity (approx. 20 minutes)**
To close, the group will collaborate on designing an âobject from the future.â This hands-on exercise invites participants to imagine possible developments and express their ideas creativelyâturning abstract speculation into tangible, shared visions.
**About the Organizers:**
This workshop is organized by[ Futurium](https://futurium.de/en) in collaboration with the Berlin Neurodivergent Community. Please keep in mind that all of berlin neurodivegrent community organizers are neurodivergent volunteers who contribute their time, energy, and resources to make this event possible. We kindly ask for your patience, kindness, and mutual respect throughout the sessionâwe are here to learn, share, and create together in a supportive environment.
We look forward to welcoming you and exploring the futureâtogether!

Sunday Tech Coffee Meetup
Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin.
We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.
Real Long Term Friendship
Nice! You are looking for real long time friendship! You might have already lived in Berlin or other big cities and experienced the "Anonymous" culture for a while. Meeting random people over and over and never see the same person again! In order to find "Real Long Term Friendship" in Berlin, do as follows:
* You should not care how many people are joining this meetup.
You RVSP. Even if only one person is joining. Because if everyone are waiting for everyone else to RVSP, nobody joins and nobody finds a new friend.
* You do not care how many people of the opposite sex are joining.
You are looking for friends. Finding the best romantic partner in the world, while avoiding not very attractive others, can be your other goal, for another time. Here we are looking for Friends. Real ones.
* You are going to risk a very precious property of yours: Your time!
Yes, there are thousands of opportunities in Berlin, there might be a rock concert for free, a birthday party you might miss, an important person might call you and invite you spontaneously, but you never find new friends until you decide to risk your time and meet people anyway. "I will check my calendar and get back to you" also does not work. Commit your time and spend it. Trust me, you won't go bankrupt ;-)
* You are ready to use your phone as a real phone!
You might have been using your phone as a tablet to visit Instagram and Facebook and watch movies. But if you want to find friends, you must know that people might take your phone number and give you theirs. That means they will Call you! And you have to pick up the phone and answer it. If you want to find new friends, you must be ready to do something really hard for the first time after years: Call people first, and if they called you: Answer your phone!
* You are going to meet some people twice!
That's the point of friendship. We already can experience random encounters with random people in random places one at a time. But that is not called friendship. If you want friends, you must be ready to meet the same person more than once.
If you agree with above, RVSP and COME! You will meet other people who think the same way.
P.S: Now that you've read all the way down to here, I suggest you [watch this animation](https://player.vimeo.com/video/547249272?h=22f3dd0f6f).
Improv Games in Tiergarten (outdoors & in English)
We improvise all the time!
âIt's coming up with a story to tell someone. Making up an excuse when you are late to work. Having to do a presentation when you have lost all your notes. Improvising is also coming up with a joke or a pickup line on a date.
âImprovising can be challenging, but it can also be fun. It involves spontaneity and creativity. Whether or not you think you are good at improvising doesn't matter. You may surprise yourself. So join us for an afternoon of improv games where we certainly will have fun!
â---
âThe event will start at 14:00 and last up to 2 hours, with a 10-minute break in between.
You'll find us in Tiergarten at the following spot: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/dzXw9NXMLAjBqBUE9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/dzXw9NXMLAjBqBUE9)
The communication before, during, and after the event will happen in our Telegram group: [https://t.me/czc_berlin](https://t.me/czc_berlin). As soon as we are at the location, we'll post a selfie there and guide you if necessary.

Church on Sunday (Worship in English)
**Join Us for Sunday Worship at the American Church in Berlin!**
The American Church in Berlin (ACB) is an **ecumenical Protestant congregation** where people from *many* Christian traditions worship togetherâLutheran, Reformed/Presbyterian, Anglican/Episcopal, Methodist, Baptist, non-denominational, Roman Catholic, and even a few Eastern Orthodox members. Wherever you come from, youâll find a place where you can feel at home.
Our worship is **traditional and liturgical**, rooted in the rich patterns of the Christian church and easy for both Protestants and Roman Catholics to enjoy. We celebrate **Holy Communion every Sunday and every festival day**, and all baptized Christians are welcome at the Lordâs Table.
ACB is an **extraordinarily diverse congregation**, with members from around the world. On any given Sunday youâll find long-time Berlin residents, young adults, teenagers who attend on their own, families with children, seniors, and many visitors and tourists passing through the city.
Our community is known for its **warm and friendly fellowship**âitâs one of the things people talk about most after visiting. Some folks dress formally and others show up in jeans and sneakers; we sit side by side without judgment. **Come exactly as you are.**
Most importantly: **our welcome is for everybodyâEVERYBODY.** If youâre looking for a church home, a place to pray, just looking to connect, or simply a peaceful hour of worship during your travels, youâre invited.
Weâd love to welcome you this Sunday!

Founders & Builders - Co-Working Session (Deep Work + Social)
Hey everyone, Iâm organising a structured co-working event for those who are tired of grinding at home alone.
To ensure that we have both **socialising** + **working**, we'll be using the âPomodoroâ 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.
ââââââââââââââââââ-
AGENDA:
* **15min Intros -** Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today
* **Pomodoro Session** - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...*
* ...**50min** of uninterrupted âdeep workâ (no talking, no interruptions, no phones)
* ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc.
* Repeat x3
* **15min** Conclude and celebrate your progress
Share your progress, socialise and meet new people. Or just get some work done :)
ââââ
We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). After the structured part ends, you're welcome to stay longer. See you there đ©”
**\*\*We'll be at the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***
Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease.
This walk is a simple reset.
We meet in Berlinâs Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment.
No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening.
If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk.
âš **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):**
* A short arrival and orientation
* A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation)
* One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress
* Optional reflection in pairs or small groups
* A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life
đ¶**Who this is for:**
* Professionals, creatives, and people in transition.
* People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance.
* Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical.
* Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation.
đ **Practical notes:**
* Duration: 60-90 minutes
* Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing
* No prior experience needed
* Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused
đ§ **Facilitator:**
My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction.
đ€ **Why Chitta Walks?**
Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense.
Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world.
The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it.
đż **Possible effects:**
A calmer nervous system.
Clearer attention.
A felt sense of being more present in your body.
Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions.
A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city.
**Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but thatâs not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analystâs daily practice.
Sometimes itâs as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. Thereâs many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, weâll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. Youâll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.
**About Our Speaker:**
[Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas donât quite line up yet.
