Building Stories: Biographical Traces – Karl-Marx-Allee
**If the event is fully booked, feel free to join us at the meeting point.**
A participatory urban walk exploring memory, monuments, architecture, and hidden narratives in public space through observation, storytelling, and photography.
We will move slowly along Karl-Marx-Allee, treating the city as a layered archive of perception. Through guided observation exercises and short reflective prompts, participants are invited to explore how urban space is read through personal experience, collective memory, and everyday traces.
This is not a tour, but a collective reading of the city.
No prior experience required.
**Materials:**
smartphone, paper, pen, optional audio recording
**Participation:**
Participation by voluntary contribution (5–15 € suggested)
**Meeting point:** Karl-Marx-Büste (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strausberger_Platz#Karl-Marx-B%C3%BCste), Berlin ([Strausberger Pl. 12, 10243 Berlin](https://maps.google.com/maps?vet=10CAAQoqAOahcKEwi4l8-__c-UAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQJg..i&sca_esv=080e5c4976d32afe&pvq=OhUweDA6MHgzOWMxOWFkN2Y5ZDg2ZTY&fvr=1&cs=0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&gl=de&sa=X&ftid=0x47a84e3e065a95dd:0x39c19ad7f9d86e6))

Participants are invited to contribute to a shared archive of the walk:

The Other Side of Berlin: A Walk Through City's Hidden Gems
Hello! We are the team at CaféIN, an inclusive café in Berlin, and we are launching a new Walk & Talk series.
Together, we will discover an “alternative” side of Berlin: not the Berlin of clubs, nightlife and the city’s usual clichés, but a greener, calmer side shaped by local neighbourhoods, green spaces and places beyond the typical tourist routes. ❤️🌳🏡🏙
The idea is simple: to bring people together through walking, good conversations and shared experiences.
Whether you are new to Berlin, looking to expand your social circle or simply want to spend a relaxed Saturday outdoors, everyone is welcome. 😎
How it works:
• We meet at 12:00 in front of Rathaus Spandau.
[https://maps.app.goo.gl/r1gZtMxX1nmWrzuT9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/r1gZtMxX1nmWrzuT9)
• We walk through Spandau’s Old Town and continue towards Johannesstift.
• Along the way, we will explore parts of Spandauer Forst, one of Berlin’s largest urban forests.
• We finish the walk at CaféIN, our inclusive café located on the green Johannesstift campus in Spandau.
[https://www.instagram.com/cafein_johannesstift/](https://www.instagram.com/cafein_johannesstift/)
This will be an opportunity to continue conversations over coffee and discover a unique place that brings together culture, community and inclusion. The event will last around 3 to 4 hours, but everyone is free to leave earlier or stay longer.
Please wear comfortable shoes and check the weather forecast beforehand 😜
This is a relaxed social event and everyone is responsible for themselves during the walk 😇
Founders Running Club :: Berlin
**Founders Running Club** (FRC) brings founders, investors, tech, creative people and startup enthusiasts together for weekly easy runs and networking.
Every Saturday morning we gather together and run through Tiergarten.
Join us in one of these 3 routes:
\* **5K** – for new & beginner runners
\* **7K** – for regular runners
\* **11K** – for more experienced runners
**OBS**: We are usually around 30 people, between regulars and newcomers (from here and from Luma), so don't be scared if there are not a lot of people confirmed on the event here.
The pace is chill and conversational, around **6:30**.
On the 7k and 11k some people like to push a bit more, but no one gets left behind.
We finish with a nice coffee and amazing conversations.
The vibe is always great.
Pets, friends, family, are welcome.

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).

How to Start Your Art Collection: Exclusive Visit to Artist Studio
Today we look at the works of an artist who over the past two decades, has built an oeuvre consisting primarily of screen prints on paper and canvas. Prior to that, the artist had worked extensively in photography, filmmaking, and set design. The screenprinting work is informed by architecture - ancient and modern structures, calligraphy, graffiti, handwriting, and the movement of the masses through big metropolises.
Other techniques on paper are included in the visit - from lithography to etching, cyanotype to woodblock printing - and more!
Please note, the studio visit starts promptly at 12:00.
This studio is located on the top floor and has no elevator: you will have to walk four flights of stairs. Beverages will be served, poetry may be read.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR STUDIO VISITS:
Get to know a handful of carefully selected artists who are enhancing, interjecting, and challenging art history through new media, new ideas, and new formats. Every artist builds their own universe, and for one exclusive afternoon, we are welcome into their sacred space of creation. The artist will tell their story and you are free to ask questions, engage in dialogue, and leave feeling inspired - and even with a beautiful new artwork to illuminate your space!

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 Berlin’s 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.
✨ **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
🚶**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.
🔔 **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
🧭 **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.
🤔 **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.
🌿 **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.**

➡️ Join us on Telegram: [https://t.me/+1k8nWt2bM7FlZTFi](https://t.me/+1k8nWt2bM7FlZTFi)
**Relax. Connect. Create. ☕**
After a full week of work, meetings, study sessions and life in fast-forward, it’s time to slow down. Join us this Saturday afternoon in Berlin for a relaxed coffee hang-out where this week's agenda is good company & warm drinks. You're also invited to bring some boardgames, drawing/coloring materials (I will bring an adult coloring book)
**What’s the plan?**
We’ll meet in a cosy spot, draw, chat about everything and nothing, swap stories and simply enjoy the moment. No pressure. No formalities. Just a bunch of friendly people sharing a Saturday coffee.
**Who’s welcome?**
Everyone! Whether you’re a Berliner born and raised, newly arrived in the city, from Germany or abroad, if you like meeting open-minded folks and spending some relaxed time—come join us.
**When & how?**
Saturday afternoon. Detailed time and place in our Telegram group.
Hop in, say hello, and we’ll share the final details.
**Why join?**
\*Because you deserve a break.
* Because you enjoy being creative.
\*Because you enjoy boardgames
* Because meeting new people sparks fresh energy.
\*Because coffee tastes even better when shared.
* Because Saturday afternoons were made for this.
Respect and Safety:
There is always at least one organizer present at every meetup. If you ever feel unsafe or bothered by someone’s behavior, you can reach out to an organizer privately. Your identity will remain confidential, your concern will be taken seriously, and no inappropriate behavior is tolerated — anyone making others feel uncomfortable will be removed from the group immediately.
We hope to see you there. Bring yourself, your smile, drawing materials, your stories—or just your comfy self.
Let’s make Saturday a little more laid-back, a little more social and a lot more nice.
See you soon!
—Your Saturday Creative Coffee Crew ☕

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 that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s 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, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll 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:**
