Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all types of work welcome)
Hello! I’m organising a coworking + socialising session for all of us who are working on projects (e.g. our own creations, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. 🙂
To ensure that we have time for both socialising AND working, we will be using the so-called “Pomodoro” technique:
**50 mins deep work** (silent), followed by **10 mins break** to socialise. And then repeat!
You are welcome to join whatever your personal background is, and whatever project you are working on.
I (the host) speak English and German, so either language is fine.
——————————————————-
AGENDA:
* **Short Intro**
Tell us who you are and share something about what you will be working on today
* **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\)
Each Pomodoro session consists of 50 mins focused “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, **phones on silent mode**)
-> then 10 mins break: a chance to share your progress with others
-> Repeat
* **15 mins Wrap Up**
Celebrate what you achieved and get to know others 😊
————
Wifi + power plugs are available - but best to bring a fully charged laptop, just in case 🙃
You **do not** have to pay anything. But since we are using the café space, it is common courtesy to buy at least one drink (coffee costs roughly **4 Euros**).
Silent Reading Club
Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better!
It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading.
The usual agenda:
- Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes)
- Silent reading (~1 hour)
- Discussion (~30-40 minutes)
- Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like!
You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you!
No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.
Short & Sweet Improv Jam
It's short-form improv by the sweetest people on earth, including... YOU!
Hosted by members of ImprovWorks, it's Berlin's only short-form improv jam! We'll pick some improv games in a range of difficulties, and if you want to play, just sign up.
We aim to create an atmosphere where both first-timers can feel comfortable and supported getting on stage, and more experienced performers can get some fun practice.
Doors: 19:30, Jam: 20:00
Tickets are free, but limited in number, get yours in advance to avoid disappointment: [https://www.improvworksberlin.com/shows](https://www.improvworksberlin.com/shows)

Türkisch Vegan Workshop
In diesem Kurs bereitest Du die beliebtesten ohnehin pflanzlichen türkischen Gerichte zu – ohne Fleischersatzprodukte. Wir setzen einen Fokus auf Schnelligkeit.
Wer bin ich? Ich bin ein Food Educator. Mit Erfahrung aus dem Fermentationslabor des **3-Sterne-Restaurants Noma** und einer spezialisierten Ernährungsausbildung helfe ich Dir, natürlich pflanzliche Mahlzeiten **blitzschnell** ohne geschmackliche Abstriche zuzubereiten.
Dabei erhältst Du spannende Einblicke in die kulinarische und kulturelle Vielfalt der türkischen Küche, die ich durch meinen eigenen Hintergrund und jahrelange Erfahrung mit traditionellen, vollwertig veganen Rezepten authentisch vermitteln kann.
Wir kochen gemeinsam:
* **Faszinierender und sättigender Salat mit Walnüssen, Oliven und Granatapfelkernen**
\- Reis gewürzt mit bspw\. Kardamom\, Paprikapulver\, Kreuzkümmel getoppt mit gerösteten Nüssen und getrockneten Früchten
\- Suppe aus **Sellerie, Orange**, Karotte und Kartoffeln, abgeschmeckt mit Zitrone
Preis: 85€ pro Person
Buchung: [https://plant-based-flow.gokonfetti.com/de-de/](https://plant-based-flow.gokonfetti.com/de-de/)
Alle Zutaten sind vegan und so gut wie alle sind bio.
Wenn die Buchung nicht innerhalb von 48 Stunden eingeht, wird die RSVP storniert.
Außerdem widmen wir uns Gerichten wie **Kumpir** (gefüllte Ofenkartoffeln) und **Lahmacun** (türkische Pizza) und entdecken gemeinsam, wie vielfältig und überraschend die türkische Küche ist. Neben diesen Klassikern **zeige ich Dir auch weniger bekannte**, aber unglaublich aromatische Gerichte, die leider oft in Vergessenheit geraten sind.
Diese Gerichte spiegeln die unscheinbare Diversität der Türkei wider, wie sie im Klima, in der Landschaft und in der Ethnokultur zu finden ist.
Freu Dich auf ein interaktives Kocherlebnis, bei dem wir diese Speisen nicht nur gemeinsam zubereiten, sondern sie am Ende auch in geselliger Runde genießen.
## Wie läuft der Kurs ab?
Zuerst gebe ich Euch spannende Einblicke ins Thema und erkläre die Grundlagen des Türkischen Kochens. Ich gehe auf Fragen ein, die Ihr mitbringt oder die aufkommen, bevor wir direkt in den praktischen Teil übergehen. Anschließend essen wir alle zusammen.

How to Get Over Losses and Betrayls & Build Lasting Relationships
Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships?
Are you burdened by a stressful relationship?
Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
