If you’re curious about painting plants but don’t know where to start—or you’ve tried a few tutorials and want to understand watercolour finally—this beginner-friendly Botanical Watercolour class is for you 🌿 **In this one-day workshop,** we’ll explore the foundations of watercolour through the beauty of leaves, stems, and simple botanical forms. We’ll begin by learning essential techniques like wet-on-wet, layering washes, colour mixing, and transparency—everything you need to bring plants to life on paper. Then, we’ll move into painting: using real botanical references and carefully selected examples, you’ll practise translating natural shapes into soft, expressive watercolour studies. You’ll learn how to simplify forms, observe details, and build confidence with every brushstroke. This is a relaxed, supportive space to experiment, ask questions, and enjoy the process alongside other beginners. No experience needed—just curiosity and a love for nature 🌱 **Monday 8.05** from 6:00 to 7:30 PM **In Friedrichshain** (address in the form) **Price:** * 27€ x class Payment via PayPal / Bank transfer **Material:** Material for watercolours is very specific. If you use poor-quality or non-professional material, you won't achieve the optimal results. *Please check this helpful guide:* [https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWdOx6FczD/](https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWdOx6FczD/) * I recommend bringing your own material so you can keep practising at home after the classes. If you don't want to buy it, I can also lend it to you for a small extra fee of 5€.

What happens when PMs stop watching engineers code — and start shipping themselves? You’ve probably heard the stories. Maybe you’ve already tried it in your own company. AI is changing how product teams build, collaborate, and ship — fast. Join us for an evening with product leaders sharing real-world experience building and shipping customer-facing features with AI, not just internal demos and experiments. We’ll talk about PMs opening PRs, non-devs contributing directly to production, and what actually changes when the whole team gets closer to the codebase. This event is designed for Product Managers and Product Leaders who want to understand how product roles, collaboration, and development processes are evolving in the AI era. **Agenda** 18:15 – Doors open for snacks, drinks, and networking 19:00 – Welcome from ProductTank Berlin 19:10 – Opening the PR is just the beginning, Dmitry Gorshkov 19:40 – What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase, Elena Berendeeva 20:10 – Networking 21:30 – Event ends Please note: - Please bring your IDs as you’ll need it when entering the venue. - The event is RSVP only: to enter, you must RSVP here on Meetup. - We'd like to capture the event with photographs for promotional purposes, such as sharing on LinkedIn after the event. If you have any concerns or preferences regarding this, please feel free to let us know beforehand. **Opening the PR is just the beginning** Dmitry will show how to go deep into the codebase as a PM and make it worth the effort. Crafting code is time consuming, so should PMs code instead of doing PM work? Absolutely. But you must come prepared. About the speaker [Dmitry Gorshkov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmitrygorshkov?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a lead product manager at Finom, a Dutch fintech superapp for small businesses. Dmitry has shipped successful products at N26, Taxfix and Cut the Rope, among others - and has more than a decade of product management experience. **What happened when we let non-devs into the codebase** A year ago, we let PMs, designers, and QA contribute directly to our existing codebase using AI. What followed wasn’t just faster shipping – it was a quiet shift in how our team made decisions, handled ownership, and thought about their roles. This is that story. About the speaker [Elena Berendeeva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/berendeeva-elena?utm_source=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=member_android) is a PM at JetBrains who spent the last few years building 0-to-1 products – through pivots, sunsets, and a lot of uncertainty. Her most recent product is Matter, an AI prototyping tool that her team – designers, QA, and engineers – used to ship directly to production. She explores AI-native workflows and the evolving role of PMs in agentic product development.

Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events? This is different. Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing. Booking happens through our website. 👉 Reserve your spot: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city Most people come alone. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real. Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease. Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry. Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. 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. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.
