**A place to meet sound, without maps** Facilitated by **Vesti Gium (they/them)** Everyone enters as they are. No score. No threshold of skill. We follow the room, moment by moment— listening, nudging, letting the music find itself. A breath, a shoelace, a laugh, a footstep— each carries weight. Silence is welcomed; noise is celebrated. There are no wrong directions here. We practise a listening that reaches outward and inward: to ourselves, to one another, to the space we shape together. That is where the music begins. * 🌀 Bring a voice, an object, an instrument, a movement—or nothing at all. * ✨ **Priority given to FLINTA folks and people with migration backgrounds.** * 🎧 No experience needed. Curiosity is enough. * 📍 Berlin – \[theodorstraße 5,12099] * 🗓 Every Wednesday 17: 30 * 📬 DM or email **[vestigium.impro@gmail.com](mailto:vestigium.impro@gmail.com)** to join Come make sound—come be heard.

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 😊 ———— The location is **Espresso House near Checkpoint Charlie** (they have multiple outlets - so be sure to go to the correct one!) 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**).

**Come as you are. Leave feeling seen, supported, and inspired.** Are you an expat woman living in Berlin, longing for deeper connection and meaningful conversation? Whether you’ve just arrived or have been here for years, finding *your people* in a big, often overwhelming city like Berlin can feel like a real challenge. It certainly did for me—both when I was brand new and even after I’d been here for a while. 😉 Join this meetup and get a taste of **Soulful Sisters Community** —a warm, welcoming gathering created for women who are ready to connect, share, and finally feel truly at home in Berlin. Over coffee and soul-to-soul conversation in a cozy Berlin café, we’ll slow down together, meet like-hearted women, and explore what it means to build real community while living abroad. Expect light ice-breakers, guided connection prompts, and plenty of space to just be yourself. This gathering is for you if you’re: 🌿 Feeling lonely or disconnected in your expat journey 💛 Craving honest conversations and soulful sisterhood 🌍 Ready to be part of a community that uplifts and inspires You don’t need to be extroverted or “have it all together.” Just come as you are—with an open heart and a desire to connect. ✨ Let’s rise, grow, and thrive—together. (In case there is no more free spots, please feel free to reach out to me in a private message. 💗) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Meet Your Host — Nora 💛** Hi, I’m Nora—a transition coach, community builder, and the founder of Soulful Sisters Community. I moved to Berlin over 16 years ago and, like many expat women, I know how lonely and overwhelming life abroad can feel. It took me years to find my people, and now it’s my mission to make that journey easier and more heart-centered for others. I’m here to create spaces where women feel seen, supported, and truly connected—because we were never meant to do this alone. For more info, check out www.noranagy.com

**Music Therapy & Systemic Psychotherapy** My approach integrates music therapy and systemic psychotherapy to support emotional expression, connection, and transformation. Through sound, improvisation, and dialogue, we explore inner experiences, family dynamics, and relational patterns in a safe and creative space. The sessions invite awareness, playfulness, and presence — allowing music to become both mirror and bridge between what is felt and what can be spoken. Whether through active musicking, deep listening, or verbal reflection, the process unfolds at your own pace, weaving together body, voice, and relationships as pathways to healing and growth.

Get ready to pitch your startup and snag some real, straight-up feedback from experienced founders! Ready to sharpen your pitch and get real feedback from fellow founders? Join GrowFirma’s **Founders Pitch Feedback** night, where early‑stage founders pitch their ideas and receive constructive input from the Berlin founder community. **How it works:** * Each founder gets **2 minutes** to pitch their startup idea. * After the pitch, the room gives **3–4 minutes of feedback -** what’s strong, what’s unclear, and what could be improved. * The focus is on clarity, problem–solution fit, and founder story, not on investor jargon. * Founders and companies present their own projects; participants are encouraged to suggest and invite other founders to join the lineup. **What you’ll get:** * Practice delivering a tight, compelling pitch. * Honest, founder‑to‑founder feedback in a supportive environment. * Networking time before and after the pitches to connect with other builders, potential co‑founders, and collaborators. **Want to stay updated?** Join the **GrowFirma Founder Community** (WhatsApp / LinkedIn group) for weekly event reminders, founder tips, and exclusive news: 👉 [https://linktr.ee/Growfirma?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAb21jcAPxdIdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA81NjcwNjczNDMzNTI0MjcAAaeoh1-aUMUVat-9H__91zKy_DVR4Bi9vDGr6BbManzROY3_cHkVlLkDuSciVQ_aem_8b59eQqDGkpHqx2jXbT-oQ](https://linktr.ee/Growfirma?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAb21jcAPxdIdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA81NjcwNjczNDMzNTI0MjcAAaeoh1-aUMUVat-9H__91zKy_DVR4Bi9vDGr6BbManzROY3_cHkVlLkDuSciVQ_aem_8b59eQqDGkpHqx2jXbT-oQ) Whether you’re pre‑idea, pre‑MVP, or already scaling, this is your weekly Berlin founder pitch lab.
