Hallo, Willkommen zur Handarbeits- und Gesprächsgruppe! Wir treffen uns von 14 bis 16 Uhr in der Psychosozialen Initiative Moabit. Bei Kaffee/Tee und Kuchen sitzen wir in entspannter Runde zusammen und arbeiten an Strick-/Häkel- oder anderen Handarbeitsprojekten oder ähnlichem und kommen so auch gerne ins Gespräch. Alle sind herzlich willkommen (auch ohne Strickerfahrung!!). Wir haben vor Ort auch ein paar Stricksachen und Wolle, die alle mitbenutzen können :) Hello, Welcome to the crochet/knitting group at Psychosoziale Initiative Moabit! We meet up every Wednesday from 2 to 4pm and all work on our creative projects. Throughout the crafting you have the space to talk and expand your community in Berlin. Everyone is welcome (even if you've never done crocheting/knitting before!!). We also have some knitting needles and yarn for you to use :)

Join us for a two-day Botanical Watercolour experience, where we’ll step out of the studio and into two *almost hidden* gardens in Friedrichshain to paint plants directly from life 🌿 Over two days, we’ll meet in two different, *almost hidden* gardens in Friedrichshain—quiet green corners of the city where we can slow down, observe, and paint plants directly from life. Think wild flowers, textured leaves, unexpected shapes, shifting light… and the simple joy of painting outdoors. This is more than just a meet-up: **it’s a guided class designed to help you grow your skills while you enjoy the process.** We’ll start each session exploring essential watercolour techniques—wet-on-wet, layering, colour mixing, and transparency—and then apply them to what we see around us. You’ll learn how to approach different types of plants, how to simplify complex forms, and which techniques and effects work best for each subject. No experience needed—just curiosity, and a love for plants, light, and slow summer days 🌱 The workshop includes **two classes**, but you’re also welcome to join individual sessions. **When:** Wednesday 13 + 20 May From 6 to 7.30 PM **Where:** Friedrichshain, Berlin (You will receive the exact address by e-mail) **Price:** 50€ for the whole workshop (2 classes) Single class 27€ / Paypal & Bank Transfer **Material:** You will need a watercolour set, watercolour paper (or sketchbook) and brushes. If you need suggestions about the material, get in touch. If you need some recommendations, this might help: **[Quick Material Guide](https://www.instagram.com/p/DBRDE95Ia5D/?img_index=2)** **To book your spot:** Please confirm here: **hola.berlinartclub@gmail.com,** and you will receive the payment details and the exact address. ***Super small groups! RSVP here is not considered booked.*** You can find my work [HERE](https://www.instagram.com/lujancordaro/) and all updated classes [HERE ](https://www.instagram.com/berlin.art.club/) Come slow down, get your hands moving, and reconnect with nature 🌿 See you!!

It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…: • a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together… • a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like… Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 12 years of facilitating the “Improvisational Groove Orchestra” (I.G.O.) improv vocal jam sessions. Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments… It is very easy to participate, no musical talent or training is required so anyone is welcome to join. All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. During these sessions we will also have short breaks for feedback and refreshment. Important – Please be on time.

Beste Grüße, Euer Aktien für Alle Team ========================================== **Wer wir sind:** Wir sind eine vielfältige Gruppe von Menschen, die entdeckt haben, dass strategisches Aktienhandeln für jeden zugänglich ist. Unser Ziel ist es, unsere gemeinsame Erfahrung zu teilen und Anfänger im Aktienhandel zu inspirieren, sich sinnvoll und emotionsfrei zu investieren. Wir glauben fest an das Konzept des gegenseitigen Lernens – indem wir dir helfen, lernen auch wir von dir, und schaffen so eine Win-Win-Situation für alle. **Was wir glauben:** * Erfolgreiches Aktienhandeln ist keine exklusive Domäne für Finanzexperten. * Das Verstehen von Aktien und das Treffen informierter Anlageentscheidungen ist für jeden erreichbar. * Du benötigst keinen Abschluss in Betriebswirtschaft, um die Prinzipien der Wertanlage zu verstehen. * Technische Aktienanalyse ist nicht nur für Finanzprofis gedacht; es ist eine Fähigkeit, die du erlernen kannst. **Über die Meetup Gruppe:** Shuying hat Mitte 2023 selbst ihren Weg zur erfolgreichen Anlegerin gefunden – von frustriert und überfordert zur begeisterten Aktieninvestorin mit Fokus auf Chartanalyse. Begeistert von die Methode von Raik Mandel gründete sie diese Meetup-Gruppe, um andere auf ihrem Weg zu mehr Selbstvertrauen, Klarheit und finanzieller Freiheit zu unterstützen. **Über Raik Mandel:** Raik hat mehr als 25 Jahre Erfahrung als Bauunternehmer, Immobilieninvestor und Aktionär. Seine Leidenschaft hat sich inzwischen mehr auf die Börse verlagert, da dies weniger Zeitaufwand erfordert, flexibler ist und auch in fallenden Märkten Gewinne ermöglicht. Er hat sich auf einfache Aktienanalysen mithilfe der Chartanalyse spezialisiert. Raik war langjähriges Mitglied im IIC (Immobilien Investment Club), ist Mitglied im IVD (Immobilien Verband Deutschland), im VTAD (Vereinigung technischer Analysten Deutschlands e. V.).

Whether you want to make progress on a project or just enjoy the vibe, you’re very welcome here.

It’s hard to believe our group is 1 year old now! Let’s have another great meetup to enjoy the hobby with each other and have a IFP&P birthday celebration! Note: location may change.

***Starting Saturday, May 2nd NextGen will be hosting monthly bird outings on the first Saturday of the month!*** Locations and guides will vary per month. For our next monthly walk, we will visit Ball’s Bluff Battlefield Regional Park for a fun and historic bird outing along the Potomac River. In June, eBird reports show a strong mix of **breeding forest birds, edge species, and river specialists**, including: ### **Breeding Songbirds (Forest & Edge)** Wood Thrush, Red-eyed Vireo, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Acadian Flycatcher, Great Crested Flycatcher, Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting, Gray Catbird, Eastern Towhee, and Baltimore Oriole. ### **Warblers (Confirmed Summer Residents)** Common Yellowthroat, Yellow Warbler, Ovenbird, American Redstart, and Louisiana Waterthrush (especially along streams and the Potomac). *(Note: migration warblers like Black-and-white are far less consistent by June—good correction from your prior version.)* ### **Raptors & Soaring Birds** Bald Eagle (very reliable along the river), Red-shouldered Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Broad-winged Hawk (occasionally lingering), and Turkey Vulture. ### **River & Riparian Species** Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, Belted Kingfisher, Wood Duck, Mallard, and Spotted Sandpiper along the shoreline. ### **Woodland & Year-Round Residents** Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, Downy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, and Pileated Woodpecker. https://www.novaparks.com/parks/balls-bluff-battlefield Please wear shoes suited for rocky/uneven terrain, as there will be some light hiking up and down the bluff to get close to the river.

**ProductTank NoVA is back!** After a brief hiatus, we are relaunching the chapter with a format that cuts out the fluff and gets straight to the reality of building. Every product feed is flooded with AI hype right now, but what does it actually look like on the ground? Instead of a polished keynote, we are hosting **0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks**—a "Show & Tell" featuring 3–4 lightning talks focused on the intersection of AI and product. The framing for the talks is simple: *"Here is what I'm building, and here is what I'm stuck on."* We want to look at the messy, 0-to-1 reality of integrating AI into your workflows and products. *(Want to share what you are working on? Reach out! The bar is low-pressure, just 10–12 minutes to talk about a real AI problem you are trying to solve.)* **Agenda:** * **5:30 PM - 6:00 PM:** Doors open, networking, & name tags * **6:00 PM - 6:10 PM:** Welcome + Chapter Relaunch Intro * **6:10 PM - 7:30 PM:** Lightning Talks (Three 12-min talks + 5 mins Q&A each, with a 5-min stretch break) * **7:30 PM - 8:00 PM:** Open networking * **8:00 PM:** Soft close **Location & Logistics:** Herndon Fortnightly Library (Extended Hours Meeting Room) 768 Center St, Herndon, VA 20170 * **Parking:** We'll meet at the library, located just behind the Herndon Municipal Center. There is plenty of free public parking available around the municipal center. * **Metro & Bus:** Take the Silver Line to Herndon Metro Station, then connect via Fairfax Connector Route 921 or 950 to Historic Downtown Herndon. * **Driving (via VA-267/Dulles Toll Rd):** Take Exit 10 North (Centreville Rd, which becomes Elden St). Turn left onto Station St or Lynn St. * **Driving (via VA-286/Fairfax Co Pkwy):** Take the Elden St West exit. Turn right onto Lynn St. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and getting back to building!
