Productive Sunday Morning - Co-Working Session (Deep Work, all work welcome)
Hey everyone!
Iâm organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but don't feel like sitting alone at home. đ
To ensure that we have both **socialising** AND **working**, we will be using the so called âPomodoroâ 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.
Itâs an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique).
Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background.
I (the host) speak English and German, so either is fine :-)
ââââââââââââââââââ-
AGENDA:
* **15min Intro**
* Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today
* **Pomodoro Session** (3x) - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...*
* ...**50min** of uninterrupted âdeep workâ (no talking, no interruptions, no phones)
* ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc.
* Repeat
* Conclude and celebrate your progress
Share your progress, socialise and get to know others đ
ââââ
We'll be at the Social Hub Berlin (they have a food menu in case you get hungry). The structured part will end at 2:30pm, but you're welcome to stay longer, go for lunch together, or leave earlier. See you there đŠľ
**\*\*We'll reserve the long table. Please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

đşď¸ **Route:** About 40 km on mostly unpaved paths â passing lakes, forests, and open fields, all the way to SchĂśnower Heide. From there, weâll head to CafĂŠ Hobi, where we can hang out over a drink or snack and get to know each other better.
If you like, you can join for another \~10 km back into the city on mostly paved roads. Alternatively, you can easily take the S-Bahn from Buch. Youâll find the route map here on the event page [and on Komoot](https://www.komoot.com/tour/2844752978).

Empathy Game - April
Ăber uns
Hello, Berlin!
We're Mindful Mingle, a cozy corner in our bustling city dedicated to heartfelt conversations. A place where you're not just another face in the crowd, but a valued member of a caring community. Mindful Mingle welcomes openness and emotional honesty.
**\*\*\* READ BEFORE ATTENDING \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\* \*\*\***
\#\# đż Mindful Mingle Community Guidelines
Creating a space for real conversations, mindful connection, and mutual respect
These guidelines are here to help us keep our gatherings safe, supportive, and enriching for everyone. Please read them before attending an event.
\#\# đ 1\. Come as You Are
This is a space for real people, not perfect ones. Whether youâre having a great week or a rough day, youâre welcome here. Just be yourself, no masks needed.
\#\# đŁď¸ 2\. Listen with Empathy
When someone shares, listen with your full attention and an open heart. Avoid interrupting or offering unsolicited advice. Sometimes, the most powerful support is simply being present and listening.
\#\#\# đ¤ 3\. Respect Confidentiality
Whatâs shared in the circle stays in the circle.
Trust is the foundation of this group, please donât repeat or post about anyoneâs personal experiences outside of the meetup.
\#\#\# đ§ 4\. No Judgment\, No Fixing
Everyoneâs experience is valid. This isnât a space for therapy or debate, but for compassionate sharing. Letâs honor each personâs truth without trying to âfixâ or analyze it.
\#\#\# đ 5\. Diversity Is Our Strength
We celebrate people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities. Discrimination, harassment, or exclusion of any kind will not be tolerated.
Bring curiosity and kindness, we learn so much from each otherâs perspectives.
\#\#\# đď¸ 6\. Honor the Flow
Please arrive on time if you can, and stay as long as feels right. Our events are flexible, but being punctual helps maintain the shared rhythm and presence in the group.
\#\#\# đ 7\. Be Mindful of Space and Time
Keep introductions and sharing brief so everyone has a chance to speak.
If youâre speaking, take a breath, and make room for others. If youâre quiet, know that your presence still matters deeply.
\#\#\# â 8\. Kind Curiosity Over Critique
Itâs okay to disagree, thatâs part of rich conversation. But letâs do so mindfully, with respect and empathy. Ask questions to understand, not to challenge.
\#\#\# đ¸ 9\. This Is a Shared Space\, Not Therapy
Mindful Mingle is about community and connection, not a substitute for therapy or crisis support. If youâre struggling, please know youâre not alone and professional help is always encouraged. Weâre here to listen and care, not to diagnose or treat.
\#\#\# ⨠10\.
A Final Note
Mindful Mingle is a living community, these guidelines grow with us.
By showing up with kindness, honesty, and openness, you help create the safe, heartfelt atmosphere that makes this group special.
Thank you for being part of it. đż

Hello, dear friends,
My name is Alicja and I'll be taking over as the host of Mindful Mingle.
Iâm really glad to step into this role and continue what Behnam has built over the years â a community of empaths of all walks of life and ages coming together to connect and share their experiences. It feels both exciting and a little challenging but on the other side of fear is freedom and I'm willing to take that leap.
In the past, I held space for women's circles for two years before I moved to Berlin so itâs meaningful for me to return to something I care deeply about â this time in a mixed group, which Iâve been wanting to explore for a while.
I intend to uphold the values and guidelines of the Mingle, so if you would like to be part of the journey, join us at an upcoming meeting!
Berlin Networking und Business Strategy Meetup
Hi, This is Sagar here. This is my first ever group and just the second event. The point is: to come open-minded and look forward to meet some Berliners interested to learn, grow and build. Or help others to Learn, grow and build. As I said earlier, I am someone with an itch to get into entrepreneurship, but lacking the exact directions, and failing myself in some of the very basic things. I am sure there are many, sailing in the same ship. Building a business needs a bit of everything : Digital literacy, knowledge of the bureaucracy, taxation, network building, social media skills, Tech- aptitude, AI-competence and what not. Lets meet and find out who can help whom with what. At the end, there is nothing to lose. We all will make friends and learn a thing or two. Cheers.

Drawing Cafe [#15] 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.
Iďťżt 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) :

***For address and more details see the website www.pausify.org***
\*\*\*\*\*\*
**Event Info:**
Events happen every Sat and Sun at 11 AM.
Bring along your **current book to read** (or something **creative** to work on ) and join us for this mix of a shared focus time + discussion.
\- 11:00\-11:30 \- Meet & greet
\- 11:30\-12:30 \- Silent focus time
\- 12:30 \- Discussion of books/ projects over coffee
Afterwards, join for lunch if you'd like (optional).
**Drinks & snacks are included** âď¸
* **To reserve your place, a ticket (âŹ9,90/event) or a community pass (only âŹ19,90/MONTH) [from the website](https://pausify.org/) *www.pausify.org* is required**
* **Attendance here doesnât show all sign-ups from other platforms. We usually have about 50 to 100 people at each event.**
***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?***
Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that â thatâs what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*.
Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if youâd like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space â with drinks, snacks included â thatâs what your ticket helps to cover.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.

TBD
Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machineâs?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether youâre deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Topics include:
* What âvibe codingâ means
* What AI can help you build
* Where AI is useful and where it is unreliable
* A simple workflow for building with AI
* Prompting tips for better results
* Common beginner mistakes to avoid
If youâve ever thought, âI have an idea, but I donât know how to build it,â this talk is for you.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
Columbus Code & Coffee 85 @ 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!
