**Transforming Classical Encryption to Post-Quantum Encryption for Financial Services**
Quantum computing is set to break today’s encryption, creating urgent risks for financial institutions. This session explores how organizations can transition from classical cryptography to post-quantum security using hybrid approaches, improved cryptographic visibility, and emerging compliance frameworks.
Revan cover practical steps to become quantum-ready without disrupting existing systems, with a focus on balancing security, compliance, and operational continuity.
**What you’ll learn:**
• Why the quantum threat is already relevant today, not just in the future
• How classical encryption (RSA, ECC) will be impacted
• Why hybrid post-quantum cryptography is the safest transition path
• The role of cryptographic visibility (CBOM) in managing risk
• How regulations like DORA and NIS2 are accelerating adoption
• How early adoption can strengthen security and create competitive advantage
**About the Speaker: Revan Ande** is a security researcher and founder of RivicQ, a startup focused on advancing next-generation cryptographic solutions. With a strong interest in post-quantum security and its impact on financial systems, he works on bridging the gap between classical encryption methods and quantum-resilient technologies.
He actively shares insights on emerging security challenges and innovations, with a focus on making post-quantum concepts practical and actionable for modern organizations.
**About Berlin Cybersecurity Social:** This meetup is open to cybersecurity professionals of all levels, from beginners to experts. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting your journey in the field, this event is the perfect opportunity to connect with others who share your passion for cybersecurity.

Women's Circle at Das Kabbalah Centre
Join our Women’s Circle at "Das Kabbalah Centre" in Berlin, hosted by Rachel Wende.
Language: English.
This event is open for new and current students.
Amount: EUR 05.00 - 15.00
Living a purpose-driven life is something we all strive for. Such a life promises that we are using our talents, sharing of ourselves, and working towards goals that are fulfilling and inspiring. Staying on the path requires daily effort and yet, with all the responsibilities that we have as women, sometimes that purpose-driven life seems like a worthy goal for sometime after we’ve fulfilled the needs of our partners, children, and jobs. Join us for an intimate women’s circle as we share insights and tools for how to revitalize our search for our purpose. Learn how to get out of patterns and routines that keep us from making the changes we deeply desire. Our path to fulfillment lies within each of us; we only need to tease it out.

**🌳 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.

**+++++ 😊 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."

Open Reflection Women's Circle
**Open Reflection Circle** is a small and intimate women’s gathering in Berlin, where we come together in a cozy café to share, reflect, and connect with one another.
In this circle, a small group of around **8–10 women** gathers to spend time in meaningful conversation and reflection. We begin by introducing ourselves and gently creating a space where everyone feels comfortable and welcomed.
Through guided reflection prompts, we explore our journeys, our emotions, and the experiences that shape our lives. These prompts are designed to help you open up and reflect more deeply on your thoughts, your dreams, and the challenges you may be navigating.
We also include a few light and playful exercises to break the ice and help everyone feel relaxed and connected. The intention is not to create pressure to share, but to create an environment where sharing feels natural and safe.
The heart behind the **Open Reflection Circle** is simple:
to bring together women who can hold space for each other and remind one another that we are not alone in our journeys.
This is a space where we can talk honestly about our lives — our visions, our goals, what we are building, and what sometimes holds us back from taking action.
We reflect together on questions such as:
Where do we want to go in life?
What are we dreaming of creating?
What challenges are we facing in our emotional wellbeing or personal growth?
By listening to one another’s stories and perspectives, we often discover insights that we might not have seen on our own.
You are encouraged to bring a **notebook and pen**, as many women like to take notes from reflections, ideas, and inspiration that arise during the conversation.
Toward the end of the gathering, we close with a small and meaningful practice: exchanging short **love letters of gratitude** with each other.
These simple messages help us acknowledge the presence of the women in the circle and leave the space with a feeling of appreciation, connection, and warmth.
The intention of this circle is not advice or fixing each other’s problems.
It is simply to **listen, reflect, learn from one another, and hold space for the beautiful complexity of each woman’s journey.**

Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, Columbus, Ohio
From birth, human beings are learning. Before we are able to hold concrete memories, we are being shaped and impacted by everything about our lives and situations. From the point that we become capable of cognizant thought and memory, our lives could be summed up as a series of our responses to our circumstances, whether for good or for ill.
Dr. Joe Dispenza sees a deep need for human beings to live *on purpose*. Rather than just living life in reaction mode, he challenges people to live intentionally, to seek to change the negative that we have encountered and to pursue the positive through purposeful steps in a different and healthy direction. His study and work seek to demonstrate the changes that can be made from the inside out.
Join us as we take a look at new ways to grow at **6:30 pm,** **Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center, Columbus**.

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.

This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us.
COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant.
How to Be a Better Communicator - Free Seminar
How to be a Better Communicator
Communication is everything in life
You are only as successful as your ability to communicate.
\- What if you could confidently talk to anyone?
\- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation?
\- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence?
You can!
The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
