Scuba Diving

This event is for people who believe that our thoughts and feelings create our reality. This time we’re getting together in Bürgerpank Pankow (10 min walk from our meeting point) for a picnic to talk about our manifestations, the techniques we use, and also share books/meditations/author recommendations for anyone who’s interested and wants to dive deeper into the topic. Please bring a blanket, some food and drinks. **Meeting point**: S-Bahnhof Schönholz (on the platform) **Please note: In case of rain, we’ll meet at [Presscafé am Alexanderplatz](https://share.google/t0SP7jNViEjKENSjn) (stay tuned for updates!).**

=== THE TOUR === On Saturday I'll drive to Liepnitzsee for a swim and a short picknick on the lake. I have a car and I wouldn't mind some company. We will depart at 09:00 (sharp) and drive to a parking space near the lake. From there it is a 10 minute walk. I have to be back in town by 15:00. Note that the place is remote. There are no facilities. You have to bring everything you need. === WHAT TO BRING === • Swimming wear, towls, etc. • Water, drinks and food • Good mood • 5 Euros for fuel and parking fees === NO-SHOW POLICY === I enforce a zero-tolerance policy on no-shows and last-minute cancellations. If you RSVP and don't show up, you will be removed from the group. If your plans change, please cancel early enough to make your seat available for someone else.

**(Event in German) Bitte beachtet, dass wir auf verschiedenen Wegen einladen, es werden also mehr Menschen teilnehmen, als ihr hier seht.** Egal wie alt wir sind – Alter beschäftigt uns: Wir denken selbst darüber nach, oder werden ständig daran erinnert. Fühlen wir uns älter oder jünger, als wir sind? Vermissen wir es, 16 zu sein oder freuen wir uns, immer reifer und sicherer zu werden? Machen wir uns Sorgen, für unser Alter nicht genug erreicht zu haben, oder fragen wir uns, ob wir unser Leben gerade mehr genießen sollten? Da wir alle mit diesen Gefühlen und Fragen nicht allein sind, wollen wir sie gemeinsam erkunden, indem wir Antworten auf eine einfache, aber tiefgründige Frage sammeln: „Wie fühlt es sich gerade an, in meinem Alter zu sein?“ Wenn wir Glück haben, nehmen Menschen aus verschiedenen Generationen teil, sodass wir über Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede sprechen können: Wie fühlt es sich heute an, 25, 35, 55 oder 75 zu sein? ACHTUNG ANDERE LOCATION UND ZEIT: Dieses Event ist Teil der Veranstaltungsreihe „Das Diskussions-Experiment in der Bibliothek“. In dieser Reihe sind wir in der Mittelpunktbibliothek Schöneberg zu Gast (🥳) und probieren dort gemeinsam neue Methoden, um Diskussionen interessant, inspirierend und entspannt zu gestalten. Anders als üblicherweise treffen wir uns diesmal an einem Samstag um 13 Uhr. **Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos!** Weitere Informationen findest du in den FAQs weiter unten. Schreib uns gerne, wenn du Fragen hast. *(Bild erstellt mit Open AI)* +++++++++ **FAQ** ***Was kann ich von dem Event erwarten?*** Jede Veranstaltung ist ein Experiment, daher ist es schwierig, genau vorherzusagen, wie sie verlaufen oder sich anfühlen wird. Wir versuchen in jedem Event eine entspannte und anregende Atmosphäre zu schaffen, in der wir verschiedene Aspekte und Perspektiven des Themas gemeinsam erkunden. Zu Beginn der Diskussion werden wir spezielle Spielregeln einführen, die das Gespräch langsamer, aber auch fokussierter und klarer machen sollen. ***Für wen ist dieses Event gedacht?*** Diese Veranstaltung richtet sich an alle, die sich für das Thema und/oder das Konzept interessieren. Wir möchten einen Raum schaffen, in dem sich Menschen jeden Alters, jeder Identität und jeder Herkunft willkommen fühlen. ***Muss ich aktiv mitdiskutieren, oder kann ich auch nur zuhören?*** Es ist völlig in Ordnung, nur zuzuhören. Du kannst jederzeit selbst entscheiden, wie aktiv du sein möchtest, und wirst, abgesehen von einer kurzen Namensrunde, nicht aufgefordert, etwas zu sagen. Möglicherweise gibt es jedoch Kleingruppen-Phasen, d. h. kurze Abschnitte, in denen alle Teilnehmer\*innen in Gruppen von 2-3 Personen diskutieren. Du musst daran nicht teilnehmen, sondern kannst die Zeit stattdessen für eine Pause nutzen. Du musst nichts vorbereiten, keine starke Meinung haben und auch nicht extrovertiert sein, um teilzunehmen. ***Wie lange dauert die Veranstaltung?*** Die Veranstaltung dauert zwischen 1,5 und 2 Stunden. ***Ist der Veranstaltungsort rollstuhlgerecht?*** Ja. Dieses Event findet in der Mittelpunktbibliothek Schöneberg statt und ist somit rollstuhlgerecht. Das ist leider nicht immer der Fall, da wir an verschiedenen Orten veranstalten. Bitte prüfe daher am besten immer die FAQs vor deinem Besuch. ***Was ist das "Diskussions Experiment"?*** Das Diskussionsexperiment ist eine Veranstaltungsreihe, in deren Rahmen wir kontinuierlich Methoden testen, die sinnvolle und inspirierende Gruppengespräche ermöglichen. Unter anderem experimentieren wir mit Techniken, die Diskussionen verlangsamen, Klarheit fördern und die Teilnehmer dabei unterstützen, besser Gehör zu finden. Weitere Informationen findest du auf der [Webseite](https://diskussions-experiment.de/en/home/). Dieses Projekt wird von Maria Scholze und [Igor Don](http://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-don) organisiert.

========== FACTS ========== ROUTE: Althenhof > Grimnitzsee > Wolletz > Angermünde > Parsteiner See > Chorin LEVEL: Intermediate to Experienced DISTANCE: 50ish kms MEETING POINT: 08:20 - Berlin Ostkreuz ========== FACTS ========== ========= DETAILS ========= **ROUTE:** This is the start of the swimming season (at least for me). Once we arrived in Altenhof we head downhill to the Lake Grimnitzsee for a first swim. After the refreshment we head further up nprth on mixed grou before we reach Glambeck, a very scenic little village. From there it is solig ground only to Wolletz where we stop at the Kaffee Konsum for a delicious Wildboar Burger, or more. From there we have the chance to either head on solid ground alongside more boring nature of straight through the forrest on such ground. Passing through Angermünde we head further down south via Herzsprung before we reach the Parsteiner See. One of the clearest lakes I know (and my personal favourite, but psst…). After the second swim we then head around the lake and stop for a last sip of coffee (and hopefully cake) at the Hofladen Brodowin, where even Kind Charles has been. From there its just \~7km to the train station Chorin where we hop into the train which brings us back to Berlin. **SPEED:** Leisurely around 14 km/h, at least if the wind doesn't come from the front. This is like "Being able to see the details on the side of the road and enjoying the view in general… and have a chat." **DISTANCE AND TERRAIN:** This is an about 50ish km ride, with mainly mixed and soft but also some solid ground. In general: Bikes with thin tyres (Race bikes, Road bikes, Fixies), rented bikes (Uber, Swapfiets) or any special bikes (Folding bikes, BMX etc.) are not suitable! You won't have fun, trust me! And if you want to bring Kids or Animals please get in touch before! **MEETING POINT:** 08:20 - Berlin Ostkreuz, in the train RB24 on platform 14. I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike. But you can hop in at any other station if you want (and dare). **TICKET:** It is 23,60 both ways / person, so this time it does make much sense to organise a BBT. I will get one if at least one other person wants to join me! And don't forget your "[24-hour ticket bicycle VBB network](https://www.vbb.de/en/tickets/tickets-for-your-bicycle/24-hour-ticket-bicycle/)" ticket which is about 7,50 EUR. **WAY OUT:** 08:41 - dep. Berlin Ostkreuz, platform 14, taking RB24 to Eberswalde 09:27 - arr. Eberswalde, platform 2, switching trains 09:37 - dep. Eberswalde, RB63, platform 4, 09:55 - arr. Altenhof **WAY BACK:** 18:43 - dep. Chorin, RE3 19:07 - arr. Bernau, switching trains to S2 19:23 - dep. Bernau, S2 20:06 - arr. Yorckstraße (S2) **RECOMMENDATIONS:** Check the train schedule in the morning! The DB loves to stir up the plans by changing trains on short notice! If anything happens the Meeting point is the starting point of the cycling. While we'll stop somewhere for a lunch and/or coffee please always bring your snacks but especially some drinks along! And, PLEASE make sure your bike is in a proper state! Check your tyre pressure and oil the chain! Does your light work? Having a toolset is highly recommended and a spare inner tube to fix a flat tyre a big plus! While we might be able to help in some circumstances please think about what happens if we can't! Thank you! Bringing special equipment (Helmet, safety vest etc.) is NOT required but welcome if you feel more safe using it. And in case you need special medical treatment please make me aware of that upfront. Even if everyone is responsible for themselves I'd like to be able to handle it if necessary. ========= DETAILS =========

Hello everyone! This Saturday we are making an spontaneous meeting, to make some gardening work in our new community Butterfly Garden in Neukölln, at Dammweg 216. The idea is to share, to transplant some left plants from the past events, watering if it's necessary, and I would like to share some next steps for the garden, and open to you ideas so we can make it together, for example thinking about making signs in the garden, a fence, and of course continue learning together about the butterflys and their native plants. If you join 9:30 bring something to have breakfast together in the garden :) Around 12 h we will be finishing, feel free to join in any moment between 9:30 and 11:00. No experience is required! Bring some clothes that can get dirty while working in the garden. This project is called "Butterflies' Garden: an urban habitat for biodiversity and community learning " And is supported by the IUCN SOS and co-funded by the European Union. I hope to see you there!! I'm looking forward to expand this community together with the butterflies in Berlin! Warmly Mercedes 💚?

Whilst it might not roll off the tongue, Schmöckwitzwerder is Berlin’s own lesser-known island paradise, and we’re ready to explore it! With Sunday’s weather looking pretty good, why not join us for a fun and laid-back hike around the island? Where else can you lounge on the beach in Berlin state and cross into Brandenburg’s waters with just one splash? We’ll be taking our time, with plenty of swim breaks to cool off in the Zeuthener See and soak up the rays along the Dahme River. 🌊 Nature lovers, bring your binoculars! You might spot herons, kingfishers, or even white-tailed eagles soaring above. 🐦🦅 And guess what? Schmöckwitz is home to Berlin’s southernmost point! The island is sprinkled with charming old villas and cute boathouses.

Distance is **18–25 miles**, depending on where we turn around and whether we add a side loop. Pace is around **12 mph**, but this is a fun, no‑drop ride — we can slow down as needed. Here’s the **map** showing Glacier Knoll (bike), Confluence Park (flag), and BrewDog: [https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit..](https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit..).
