Rhetorik Training - Mut & Rede TM Neukölln - wg. Ostern am 2. Montag im April
Liebe Freunde des gesprochenen Wortes,
Ob es darum geht, ein Meeting zu leiten oder im Familienkreis einen Toast auszusprechen – diese Situation vor Menschen zu stehen und etwas zu vermitteln kennt so gut wie jeder. Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern.
**Was macht unseren Club besonders?**
Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen.
**Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?**
Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht.
Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen!
Hier findest du die genaue Wegbeschreibung:
www.mut-und-rede.de/kontakt#anfahrt
Um besser planen zu können freuen wir uns über vorherige Anmeldung:
https://www.mut-und-rede.de
Es findet grundsätzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

We are looking forward to seeing you!
German Sprachcafé at Denizen! From A1 to B2 *Read Description
**Hi everyone!**
We’ll now be meeting twice a week at Denizen House (Köpenicker Str. 40, 10179 Berlin), on **Mondays and Wednesdays**!
* **Mondays:** levels A1 to B2
* **Wednesdays:** levels B1 to C1
We work with dedicated materials tailored to each level, so everyone will have a place to practice and improve.
**Event schedule**
* **18:00 – 18:30** Arrival and registration
* **18:30 – 19:50** Sprachcafé
* **19:50 – 20:00** End and clean up
Please be aware that the moderated event starts at **18:30**. Before this time, we are busy setting up the space.
Registrations usually take place around **18:15 / 18:20**.
Participants are kindly asked **not to arrive too far in advance** at the house.
If someone arrives much earlier, Denizen may ask them to pay either for a drink (consumption) or for a **day pass**, as the space is a co-working environment during the day. **Please remember, our event is only happening from 18:00 to 20:00**
**How the Sprachcafé works**
We use different materials to help participants gain confidence in German. Together with whiteboards and our volunteers, the Sprachcafé is based on **interactive conversations** in small groups.
**Participation fee**
The Sprachcafé has a **participation fee of 5 €**, which helps cover organizational costs and **includes one soft drink for free**.
Tickets can be purchased directly on the day of the event, card and cash payments are accepted.
As the Sprachcafé has become very popular, we now need to **limit the number of participants**. Please understand this measure; it ensures that everyone has a comfortable space to practice.
We kindly ask you to be **rücksichtsvoll** and only RSVP “Yes” if you are certain you can attend.
If your plans change at the last minute, please update your RSVP so someone on the waiting list can take your spot.
Getting your ticket early can help secure your place.
**Please note**
Our event will begin **promptly** at the scheduled start time.
If you arrive late, we cannot guarantee your participation, even if you have a ticket or have RSVP’d.
We encourage all guests to arrive on time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
**About Denizen**
Denizen is a new-style co-working space focused on being an integral part of local communities.
Located on the ground floor of the historic Eiswerk on Köpenicker Straße in Kreuzberg, Denizen House is a communal place providing work, refreshment, and recreational facilities throughout the day. Think of it as a living room for the neighborhood.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know.
If you’d like to contribute to this night, send me a message!
Ich freue mich schon!
Grüße,
**Nacho**
Read Editing: Monthly Writers Meetup for Sharing, Feedback & Co-Creating
\*This is a free event, but please [donate through Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/read-editing-monthly-writers-meetup-tickets-1981513291596?aff=oddtdtcreator) to support our collective if you are able!
Please join us on the 2nd Monday of every month for this event, built for all of your “in between works“ by the [Read Wedding](https://www.instagram.com/readwedding/) collective.
Most events for writers are focused around ***creation or performance***. Much comes between this, yet we do not always hold each other through that phase. It is perhaps expected that all of those self-questioning, unsure, multi-path moments between lightbulb idea and snap-inducing performances are to be personal and private -- but they do not always have to be. We therefore offer you a space for everything unfinished. Needing bouncing around. Ready for a test run.
We will meet in a more traditional meetup format than our open mic -- without any set format of facilitation. We will determine the approach to each session based on who's arrived and what their goals are. You may expect some combination of solitary writing time, sharing and feedback, and guided exercises. We'd love for you to show up however you are, and with some writing materials (including your phone, if you prefer). However you arrive, so long as you are feeling curious and open, we will have something for you and your work.
See you there!
Brooks, Bubamarrë, Maggie & Johanna

Clubabend der Steglitz Toastmasters - Rhetorikclub
Hast du Angst, vor Publikum zu sprechen?
Verlangt dein Beruf Präsentationen, Pitches oder Vorträge?
Wirst du nervös, sobald alle Augen auf dich gerichtet sind?
Verlierst du manchmal den roten Faden oder merkst, wie deine Zuhörer gedanklich auf Wanderschaft gehen?
Dann bist du bei uns genau richtig.
Bei Toastmasters trainierst du deine Redekunst in einem sicheren, wertschätzenden Umfeld. Schritt für Schritt. Rede für Rede. Mit klarem Feedback und echter Unterstützung. Hier wächst nicht nur deine Technik, sondern auch deine Präsenz.
## So läuft ein typischer Abend ab 🎤
Der Abend wird von **Alexandra, unserer Präsidentin**, eröffnet. Sie führt durch das Programm und sorgt dafür, dass sich Gäste wie Mitglieder gleichermaßen willkommen fühlen.
### 🗣 Vorbereitete Reden (meist 4 Reden à 5–7 Minuten)
In der Regel erwarten dich vier vorbereitete Reden. Persönlich, inspirierend, humorvoll oder nachdenklich. Jede Rede dauert zwischen 5 und 7 Minuten und ist Teil eines individuellen Lernwegs.
### ☕ Pause
Zeit zum Austausch, Durchatmen und Kennenlernen.
### ⚡ Stegreifreden (1–2 Minuten)
Hier wird es spontan. Ein Impuls, eine Frage, ein Gedanke.
Auch **mutige Gäste** dürfen sich ausprobieren und ganz ungezwungen Bühnenluft schnuppern.
### 📝 Feedbackteil
Nun kommt der vielleicht wichtigste Teil des Abends.
* **Bewertungsreden** zu den vorbereiteten Reden (je 2–3 Minuten)
* Feedback weiterer Rollen wie Zeitnehmer oder Sprachstilbewerter
* Ein **Gesamtbewerter**, der den Abend als Ganzes reflektiert
Das Feedback ist konstruktiv, konkret und immer wertschätzend. Es zeigt Stärken auf und gibt klare Impulse zur Weiterentwicklung.
### 👋 Verabschiedung
Zum Abschluss rundet Alexandra den Abend ab und gibt einen Ausblick auf kommende Treffen.
### 🍽 Danach: Restaurant & Socializing
Wer mag, kommt mit ins Restaurant. Dort wird weitergeredet, gelacht, diskutiert und vernetzt.
Wenn du lernen willst, klarer zu sprechen, souveräner aufzutreten und deine Botschaften wirkungsvoll zu platzieren, dann komm einfach zum nächsten Clubtreffen.
Die Bühne wartet nicht auf Perfektion. Sie belohnt Mut. ✨
Wirkungsvoll reden und begeistern

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration!
This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired.
**New to electronics or curious about tinkering?**
You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors.

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for April is "Water"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Free In-Person Meeting: Healing from Trauma and Past Betrayals
This is a free, in person meeting.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
