The Secret

Join us for a creative gathering for neurodivergent people, including those with autism, ADHD, AuDHD, dyslexia, and similar neurodivergences. **At this edition of the Creative Sharing Circle we want to show you how to fold zines**. We will show you how to fill paper with text, drawings and collage. The **content can be political, fun or introspective**. Zines are a great accessible way to communicate something meaningful you‘d like to share with the world. **Zine culture is intimately intertwined with liberation movements of marginalized people.** Let‘s keep it alive and enrich it with **neurodivergent perspectives.** We will provide some arts and crafts equipments but feel free to bring your own arts and craft tools if you want to do your own project. The facilitators will also guide you on how to create zine and how to use the arts and craft material. **The event is free and there will be no donation box at the event, but your support is very much welcomed Donation Link: [Ko-fi](https://ko-fi.com/neurodivergentberlin)** **Where:** PopUp Gruppenraum 2 at Amerika Gedenkbibliothek **Facilitators:** [Agnieszka Błaszczak ](https://www.instagram.com/foxyberlin21/)(Aga), a multimedia artist, and [Cosmo](cosmo@kritische-maennlichkeit.com) (Visual Anthropologist). **Important Notes:** * If you can’t attend, please edit your RSVP to give the spot to others people. * The community is run by neurodivergent volunteers, so please help us create a positive experience. * Bring sensory tools (headphones, stimming toys, etc.), and we will have some available. * A quiet corner will be provided for breaks. * This event is for late-diagnosed adults (18+).

**"Dankbarkeit ist nicht das Ergebnis der Freude, sie ist ihre Ursache."** — David Steindl-Rast Liebe Montagsgruppenfreund\*innen, Liebe Interessierte, wie oft sagen wir „danke" und spüren dabei nichts.
Kein Gefühl, keine Regung im Körper, nur das Wort, das an der richtigen Stelle ausgesprochen wird. Als Kinder haben wir es gelernt: „Sag danke." Und danke wurde zur Höflichkeit, zur Formsache, zu etwas, das man sagt. Und wenn wir wahrhaftig dankbar und ganz ergriffen sind von diesem wundervollen Gefühl, dann erscheint uns „danke“ vielleicht gar nicht ausreichend als Ausdruck dessen was wir wahrnehmen. Wann warst du das letzte Mal wirklich dankbar?
 Vielleicht führst du ein Dankbarkeitstagebuch; erzähle uns gerne davon. Vielleicht ist es lange her, dass du dir diese Frage überhaupt gestellt hast. Wofür bist du in diesem Moment dankbar? Dir selbst. Deinen Liebsten. Dem Leben - mit allem, was es gerade bereithält. Fast jede Tradition kennt einen Moment, in dem Menschen innehalten und danken: Zur Erntezeit, am Ende eines Zyklus, bevor etwas Neues beginnt. Wir stehen am Ende des Semesters. Ein guter Moment, um zu danken. Ich lade dich am kommenden Montag ein, die Dankbarkeit im Herzen zu finden, zu fühlen und wo sie da ist, sie zu feiern. Bring mit, wofür dein Herz gerade dankbar ist.
Und auch das, was dein Herz belastet.
Du bist willkommen. Ich freue mich auf dich, euch und uns! Herzlich, Sophie **Ankommen in der Gefühlsschule** ab 19:15 Uhr - bitte nicht früher kommen - Beginn der Gruppe: 19:30 Uhr Kosten: 20 € (bar oder per PayPal vor Ort) Kontakt bei Fragen (ansonsten einfach vorbeikommen, keine Anmeldung notwendig & ich freue mich wenn du dich anmeldest:) [sophie@connecting-circle.de](mailto:sophie@connecting-circle.de)

## **Walking is cathartic and so is talking.** ## **If you're interested in personal development, growing your emotional intelligence and overcoming inner obstacles in a safe and empowering space, this group is for you.** ## **Come join us and let's grow together.** I originally created this group 3 years ago and the group grew to over 300 people. I decided to let that group go, and start over. Welcome to the Walk of Shame 2.0 If you've joined events previously then the format will remain similar for our walks. And I hope to add a variety of other events to the mix. **This event is supposed to be a fun way to meet new people whilst walking and talking on the topic of shame or other tricky emotions.** Sometimes it’s easier to tell a stranger something we are ashamed about, instead of someone we know. This is a no-judgment space open to all. I ask you to come with an open mind and heart and a willingness to share of yourself and hold space for other peoples stories. **We’ll meet at the front of Schloss Charlottenburg on Sunday 12th July at 10.30am. I'll be holding a Swedish flag.** **English and German language are both welcome. I host in English** **What to Expect** **This event is an entirely FREE experience.** **The intention for this event is for you to practice talking about the topics you feel are taboo, get over your shyness, and/or things that happened in your life that you feel ashamed about.** Shame holds a power over you when you don’t speak it and feel it. It stops you from being able to be your true self. We’ll spend about 1-1,5 hours together walking through the beautiful gardens of Schloss Charlottenburg and weather permitting we’ll also find a nice spot to sit and do a circle sharing and some embodiment practices. **If you already feel a little embarrassed about the idea of sharing then this is DEFINITELY for you.** I’ve learnt that sharing of those taboo and shameful topics actually makes you realise that you were the only one making them a big thing. When you tell it, people respect and admire that you dared to share or that you overcame something difficult. People think you are brave and resilient. This forms real connection and cuts through the superficial bull-shit we all feel we have to aspire to. **I’ll break the ice by sharing something I feel shame about and then we’ll pair up as we walk. There is no strict agenda, but I’ll instigate a few partner changes to encourage some getting out of your comfort zone.** **What to Bring** Perhaps a small blanket to sit on and your morning drink of choice. But really nothing other than yourself. If the weather permits I’d like us to find a nice spot to sit together and do a group sharing. (This is where you’ll need the blanket) **About the Organiser** Hi I’m Kim! I’m a fun, open and energetic Swede who grew up in England and landed in Berlin 18 years ago. After a 20+ year career in design I realised I could not suppress my calling to work with people on a deeper more spiritual level. I have since retrained as a Transformative Life Coach and Emotional Release facilitator and now work predominantly in this field. I take a very holistic approach to life and my work and hope that my own stories and candidness may inspire others to overcome their limiting ‘stories’ too. Other than my 1:1 work I love to host talks, speak at events, host spiritual and lifestyle workshops and connect with people on a deeper level. On a final note, beyond my career change these last years I also left an unhappy marriage after 14 years, (as a mother a very difficult decision) healed my chronic pain and many other niggling health problems because I finally understood the emotional component and psychosomatic connection of mind and body. Following some catalyst moments in 2019 I decided to re-imagine my life. And have been working towards that dream life ever since. You can find me on insta @KimTalks__

**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.**

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. 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

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.

**How to take control of your subconscious and harness its power!** Join us for an eye-opening lecture where the speaker will break down complex ideas in a clear and practical way.

It’s interactive and engaging—you can ask questions at any time. 📅 Reserve your spot now! Seats are limited, so don’t wait too long to sign up. Location: 1266 Dublin Rd, Columbus, OH 43215 Hosted by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation
