Juega y socializa en español
¿Te apetece pasar una tarde agradable jugando a juegos de mesa y conociendo gente nueva en un ambiente relajado y cercano? Este encuentro está pensado precisamente para eso: socializar, conectar y pasarlo bien, sin importar si ya conoces los juegos o si es tu primera vez en el grupo.
¿Qué tipo de juegos jugamos?
Elegimos juegos accesibles, dinámicos y sociales, no solo juegos largos o complicados. Por ejemplo:
Juegos rápidos y ligeros como 6 nimmt!, Love Letter o Sushi Go
Juegos de interacción y risas como Codenames, Dixit o Exploding Kittens
Juegos de deducción social como The Resistance, Salem o Werewolves
Y, si apetece, algún juego un poco más estratégico, siempre explicado con calma
No importa si es tu primera vez en el grupo: explicamos las reglas y elegimos juegos accesibles para que todo el mundo se sienta cómodo desde el principio. El juego es solo la excusa para socializar y conectar de forma natural.
Un espacio seguro y diverso
Solemos ser un grupo diverso, abierto y con muy buen rollo, donde se respeta a todo el mundo. Queremos crear un entorno amable, sin juicios, en el que cualquiera pueda sentirse a gusto.
️ En español (o para practicarlo)
Si hablas español o te apetece practicarlo en un entorno amable y natural, estarás más que bienvenida/o. El grupo suele estar formado por personas de distintos orígenes y niveles, y la comunicación fluye de manera relajada.
Si te apetece conocer gente de forma tranquila, sin presión y con los juegos como punto de encuentro, este plan es para ti.
¡Te esperamos!
Nota: se solicitará a los participantes una donación voluntaria de 2€ para gastos de organización y compra de juegos.

Buch: Befreiung von Schuld & Scham - Lebenskraft, bessere Freundschaften, Glück
**Die Prägungen unserer Kindheit stehen manchmal einem glüklichen Leben im Weg - auch bei Freundschaften.**
**Dieses Buch geht diesen Prägungen & dysfunktionalen Glaubenssätzen auf den Grund.**
+++++++++++++++
**🏡 Wir treffen uns bei mir am Wohnzimmertisch.**
**💶 Teilnahmegebühr: 5 EUR**
**📘 [Amazon-Link zum Buch: Befreiung von Scham und Schuld.](https://amzn.to/4kNaqPP)**

**🌳 Über das Meetup**
Dieses Meetup ist eine gemeinsame Besprechung des Buches. Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darüber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es für Dein Leben hat.
Wir sind unterschiedlich weit im Buch - doch mindestens bis Seite 106 hat jeder gelesen.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben. Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen).**
.
**Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.**
.
+++++++++++++++++
**🌻 Mehr zum Inhalt**
Manchmal funktionieren Freundschaften nicht, weil man
* sich nicht öffnen kann,
* zu schüchtern ist,
* andere Menschen nicht an sich heran lässt
* klammert
* zu viel will
* wegrennt
* nicht die richtigen Menschen trifft
* schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat
* oder oder oder ...
.
... alte Themen aus der Kindheit holen einen ein.
.
Ebenso stehen Glaubenssätze wie "ich bin nicht gut genug", "ich bin nicht liebenswert", "Ich bin unfähig", "Ich muss mich beweisen", .... und dergleichen guten Freundschaften im Weg.
.
Nicht nur Freundschaften, sondern das ganze Leben, Partnerschaften und Erfolg im Beruf scheinen von diesem alten Mist durchsetzt. Bei dem einen mehr, bei der anderen weniger.
.
Zurzeit lese ich das Buch: **"Befreiung von Scham und Schuld"** von Laurance Heller und Angelika Doerne.
.
In diesem Buch geht es genau darum: Wie prägen schlechte Kindheitserlebnisse und die Beziehung zu unseren Eltern unsere heutigen Beziehungen - nicht nur Freundschaften, auch Partnerschaften und Beziehungen im Beruf.
.
Zur allgemeinen Erleichterung: Nicht nur schlechte Gefühle prägen uns, sondern auch die vielen guten Gefühle 🦋🌞🌻🤗.
.
Dass Du diese Zeilen lesen kannst, heißt, dass sehr viel Gutes in Deinem Leben passiert ist. Juchu!
.
Ich finde dieses Buch sehr gut. Es geht den Prägungen der Kindheit zielgerichtet auf den Grund. Gleichzeitig ist es leicht und locker geschrieben.
.
**Der Stoff ist intensiv. Deshalb gibt es diesen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten.** Vielleicht ist das Buch auf für Dich interessant? **Dann komm gern dazu!**
.
Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darüber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es für Dein Leben hat.
.
Dabei können wir so offen sein, wie wir möchten. Nichts muss, nur kann.
Wir sprechen auch darüber, wie Du einige dieser Prägungen auflösen kannst.
.
**Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben!** Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens mal 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen). **Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.**
.
**+++++ 😊 Teilnehmer-Stimmen**
.
"Der Austausch hat mir geholfen, meine Gedanken zum Buch in richtig gute Bahnen zu bringen. Das hatte Tiefe. Über sowas miteinander zu sprechen, hilft mir richtig viel, um mich und andere zu verstehen."
.
"Jede meiner Empfindungen, Körperreaktionen, Gefühle und Gedanken ist ja nur davon geprägt, wie ich aufgewachsen bin. Das habe ich mit dem Buch verstanden. Danke, dass Du den Raum bietest, dass wir uns darüber unterhalten können."
.
"Ein Buch mit einer solchen Tragweite lese lieber mit anderen zusammen. Außerdem bleibe ich dann wirklich dran."
**+++++🔷 Hintergrund**
**👱🏽♂️ Zu mir: Ich bin Georg Preller.**
Seit 4 Jahren betreibe ich die Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de). Ich bin ausgebildeter NLP Lehrtrainer ([DVNLP](https://www.dvnlp.de/)) & Coach.

Mir ist es wichtig, dass Menschen gute & glückliche Freundschaften führen und damit ein friedliches & glückliches Leben führen.
.
Auf meiner Websiete findest Du viele Tipps, wie man gute Freundschaften anbahnt.
.
Zurzeit erforsche ich tiefe Themen der Psychologie. Ich will wissen, wie alte Prägungen uns im Wege stehen, die richtigen Freundschaften zu knüpfen. **Dieses Buch ist Teil dieser Forschung; ich glaube, dass es Dir sehr nützlich sein kann.**

#5 social reading club – Kreuzberg · Tempelhof (DE)
**Come together. Read. Talk about it.**
Vielleicht liest du viel und vermisst Gespräche darüber.
Vielleicht hast du Lust, neue Menschen kennenzulernen – in einem entspannten, ungezwungenen Rahmen.
Lesen verbindet, und genau dafür ist dieser Club gedacht.
Dieser *Social Reading Club* ist für Menschen, die gern lesen und sich genau das wünschen: mehr Zeit dafür – und Raum für Austausch mit anderen, die das genauso fühlen.
Wir treffen uns in einem Café am **Platz der Luftbrücke in Kreuzberg**.
Nicht als klassischer Buchclub mit Vorgaben oder Pflichtlektüre, sondern als gemeinsames Innehalten: jede\*r liest für sich, egal ob Zeitung, dicker Roman oder Sachbuch. Im eigenen Tempo. Danach kommen wir ins Gespräch – ganz natürlich, ohne Erwartung.
Dein Handy kannst du dabei weglegen – ich behalte die Zeit für dich im Blick.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
**So sieht ein Treffen aus**
Der Vormittag besteht aus **einer Leseeinheit**. Wir kommen an, bestellen etwas und richten uns ein. Dann lesen wir, zusammen, in Stille – konzentriert, jede\*r für sich. Zum Abschluss gibt es ein lockeres Kennenlernen und Austauschen – über das, was wir gerade lesen, und das, was es bei uns auslöst: Gedanken, Eindrücke, Stellen, die hängen geblieben sind.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
**ℹ️ Hinweise**
* Wir treffen uns in einem Café und sind dort normale Gäste. Also plane bitte ein, dort etwas zu bestellen.
* Die Teilnahme selbst ist vorerst kostenlos.
* Als kleinen Ausgleich für die Organisation und um die monatlichen Meetup-Gebühren zu decken, freue ich mich über eine **kleine** **Spende** (Richtwert: 2 € bis 5 €) – gerne vor Ort in **bar** oder per **PayPal**.
* Eine Vorbereitung ist nicht erforderlich. Alles, was du tun musst, ist, etwas zum Lesen mitzubringen.
* Die Treffen finden auf Deutsch statt. 🇩🇪
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
**🗓️ Agenda**
**11:00 Uhr** Ankommen, Einrichten & etwas bestellen
**11:15 – 12:30 Uhr** Stille Leseeinheit (konzentriertes Lesen, jede\*r für sich – gerne Kopfhörer mitbringen, falls es im Café etwas voller wird)
**12:30 – 13:30 Uhr** Austausch, Kennenlernen & Ausklang
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).
Bring-a-Friend & Find-a-Friend" Night
**Berlin can be a tough nut to crack.**
Sometimes you have your "one person" and you’re stuck in a bubble; other times, you’re the new kid on the block looking for your crew.
This night is designed to break those bubbles and bridge the gap.
"Bringing a friend? **Amazing.** Coming solo? **Also great.** \> Whether you’re rolling with your crew or flying solo\, you’re in the right place\.
Our mission is to help you meet like-minded people and turn 'strangers' into 'Berlin besties.'
OpenClaw/Clawdbot Anonymous Berlin
**OpenClaw Anonymous Berlin**
Informal meetup for anyone interested in OpenClaw/Clawdbot or AI agents
No talks or presentations. We discuss AI, setups, learnings, and entrepreneurship. There are no rules - we like to keep it relaxed. Come as you are. Stay as long as you like. Bring your laptop if you feel like it.

By combining in-person meetups, online interaction through the **we are village** app, and interest-based matching, the program creates a space for mutual support, deeper connection, and a sense of solidarity.

Drawing Cafe [#11] Coffee & Sketching in Berlin
We meet and sketch each other in Berlin. This is just an art gym that we also exercise our social skills. Afterwards usually we go for lunch as a group.
**How Does It Work?**
This event is simple, we meet and sketch each other doing portraits. Most of the participants use pencils or watercolors. Main aim is to socialize while we draw. There will be plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. We have to mention that this event is suitable for all levels. Many have started to draw in our event actually.
**Structure**
A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute.
B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes.
C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other.
**Who We Are**
Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin.
**Is it Free?**
The event is free of charge.
It is advisable to get a drink though. This is a cafe, we need to have at least half of the people on each table with a drink. They accept only cash and most hot drinks cost from 2.50 to 3.50.
**How to help or donate?**
The event is provided for free but many people help this be a regular thing. We also need people to volunteer and help for minor tasks like the serving of the drinks or cleaning up. Just send us a message.
If you want to donate and keep this event from happening, via Paypal to the host (Miltos) :

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.

* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.
