Improv Games in Tiergarten (outdoors & in English)
We improvise all the time!
โIt's coming up with a story to tell someone. Making up an excuse when you are late to work. Having to do a presentation when you have lost all your notes. Improvising is also coming up with a joke or a pickup line on a date.
โImprovising can be challenging, but it can also be fun. It involves spontaneity and creativity. Whether or not you think you are good at improvising doesn't matter. You may surprise yourself. So join us for an afternoon of improv games where we certainly will have fun!
โ---
โThe event will start at 14:00 and last up to 2 hours, with a 10-minute break in between.
You'll find us in Tiergarten at the following spot: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/dzXw9NXMLAjBqBUE9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/dzXw9NXMLAjBqBUE9)
The communication before, during, and after the event will happen in our Telegram group: [https://t.me/czc_berlin](https://t.me/czc_berlin). As soon as we are at the location, we'll post a selfie there and guide you if necessary.

Sunday Tech Coffee Meetup
Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin.
We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.
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 Berlinโs 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.
โจ **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
๐ถ**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.
๐ **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
๐งญ **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.
๐ค **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.
๐ฟ **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.**

Founders & Builders - Co-Working Session (Deep Work + Social)
Hey everyone, Iโm organising a structured co-working event for those who are tired of grinding at home alone.
To ensure that we have both **socialising** + **working**, we'll be using the โPomodoroโ technique:
**50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ-
AGENDA:
* **15min Intros -** Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today
* **Pomodoro Session** - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...*
* ...**50min** of uninterrupted โdeep workโ (no talking, no interruptions, no phones)
* ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc.
* Repeat x3
* **15min** Conclude and celebrate your progress
Share your progress, socialise and meet new people. Or just get some work done :)
โโโโ
We'll be at Espresso House this time. After the structured part ends, you're welcome to stay longer. See you there ๐ฉต

Bring a Friend Party (Freunde finden in Berlin leicht gemacht ;) )
Unsere Events laufen nach einem einfachen Prinzip: **Jede Person bringt jemanden mit, den die anderen noch nicht kennen.** (Du kannst aber auch selbstverstรคndlich alleine kommen) ๐ค
Bei diesem Event vergeben wir das eine **begrenzte Anzahl externer Tickets** โ fรผr Menschen, die unsere Community noch nicht kennen, aber genau das suchen, wofรผr wir stehen.
Hier geht es **nicht** um *Business Networking* oder *Dating*. Im Vordergrund stehen **neue Freundschaften** und der **Austausch mit neuen Menschen**. ๐ฌโจ In einem ungezwungenen Rahmen habt ihr die Mรถglichkeit, eure **Komfortzone zu verlassen** (oder auch nicht). Damit der Einstieg leichter fรคllt, geben wir euch kleine โ**Eisbrecher**โ wie Spiele oder lockere Aufgaben mit an die Hand. Und keine Sorge: Es wird **nicht cringe**. ๐ซถ
**Schau dir gern an, wie es beim letzten Mal war:** *[@nonono.brand](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWjKt_7DJIA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)*
Die **Offline Society** ist eine Community, die das Leben wieder mehr in die **Offline-Welt** holt. Ziel ist es Menschen zu verbinden, Erinnerungen und Freundschaften zu schaffen, und so weniger in der **Online-Welt** festzuhรคngen.

Columbus Code & Coffee 88 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

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 thatโs not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analystโs daily practice.
Sometimes itโs as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. Thereโs 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, weโll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. Youโll 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:**
[Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas donโt quite line up yet.
