This is a **shuffle**/**cutting shapes** class for beginner and intermediate shufflers where we'll learn a 16-count choreo. **Beginner shufflers** will get the chance to learn some basic steps and practice them stress-free in a short choreo to various speeds. **Intermediate shufflers** will learn to vary these basic steps with additional leg and arm movements, learn to combine them in new ways, keep practicing their foundations, and try to integrate the new combos into their freestyle. If you're a complete beginner and wanna try some basic moves by yourself before the class, you can watch this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xOAJA598uk But you don't have to - don't worry and come just by! **What you need to bring with you:** **Shoes**: If you'd prefer not to shuffle in socks, please bring a pair of dedicated clean athletic shoes with white soles. **Water**: because Shuffling is like an intense cardio workout :) **Fee**: 10โ‚ฌ (in cash or paypal after the event) to cover the cost of the rent, because we're not doing it for profit.

Vernissage: Tales of Texture. Danica Ruลพiฤ‡
Vernissage: Tales of Texture. Danica Ruลพiฤ‡
A curious psychologist turned artist, an imaginative online community & generative AI technology: What happens when they collide? Step into the unexpected โ€” join us and shape the story! "Tales of Texture" is a collection of A3 sized mixed-media paintings, featuring unique and hand crafted textured elements (Texture Peelies). The series explores the dynamic interplay of vibrant, surreal neon colors and organic, earthy textures. With each piece the artist invites viewers to explore the depths of their own imagination and uncover hidden forms and stories within the layered textures. Online comments and interpretations of the original paintings inspired the artist to bring the comments to life using genAI technology. The aim of this exhibition is to continue the dialogue with the audience outside of the virtual and within the real world. **About the Artist** Danica Ruลพiฤ‡ is a Berlin-based contemporary artist whose vibrant and whimsical works captivate audiences, spark joy, and inspire self-reflection. Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Danica navigated frequent relocations in her youth, with art and family as her constants. Her background in psychology fuels her fascination with the therapeutic potential of creativity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Danica turned to urban sketching, which deepened her self-exploration and healing through art. Her more recent abstract paintings, characterized by bright colors, magical creatures, rainbows, and glitter celebrate childlike imagination and invite viewers to embrace self-discovery. Danica's mission is to inspire others, showcasing creativity as a powerful tool for healing and self-expression. She encourages celebrating the beauty and intricacy of the Self, advocating for authenticity and vulnerability in a changing world. She shares her passion in โ€œBeyond the Brush: Alternative Art Practicesโ€ painting workshops, inspiring participants to create abstract art using recycled materials. Her work, praised for sparking curiosity and evoking a sense of possibility, blurs the lines between reality and imagination. **Contact:** [www.layersbydanica.com](www.layersbydanica.com)

Anatomy of the Convertible Loan Agreement
Anatomy of the Convertible Loan Agreement
**๐ŸŽ‰ Happy New Year, Startup Berlin! ๐ŸŽ‰** First of all: happy new year to everyone in the community โ€“ founders, builders, operators, and the startup-curious ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™m excited to step in as a new organizer and help keep Startup Berlin a practical, founder-first network. To kick off 2026, Iโ€™m thinking about a **casual โ€œHappy New Yearโ€ get-together** in Berlin: * ๐Ÿ• Pizza & ๐Ÿบ beer * ๐Ÿค relaxed networking * ๐ŸŽ“ a **30-minute practical intro session**: **โ€œAnatomy of a โ€ฆ agreementโ€** (no legalese, no theory โ€“ just what actually matters in practice) After the short session, plenty of time to hang out, meet people, and exchange war stories. **Update: It is going to be about the Convertible Loan Agreement!** Further topics to be covered in future sessions: * Shareholdersโ€™ Agreement โ€“ control, vetoes, deadlocks, exits * Employment Agreements โ€“ early hires, ESOP/VSOP, typical pitfalls * Founder Agreements โ€“ equity splits, vesting, break-ups * Something else? (tell us!) If thereโ€™s enough interest, Iโ€™ll organize a date and venue shortly (presumably Feb 6th). Depending on the turn-out we might have to restrict participation due to available space (we will find a way for doing it fairly and no worries, there will be more sessions and I am happy to repeat). Looking forward to hearing what would be most valuable for the community โ€“ and hopefully seeing many of you in person soon. ๐Ÿš€
Gentle Flow & Sound Bath
Gentle Flow & Sound Bath
This nourishing 60-minute session blends a gentle, feel-good yoga flow with immersive sound healing to help you move, breathe, and soften back into yourself. We begin with a slow, intuitive flow designed to release tension, awaken the body, and create a sense of ease and fluidity. Movements are accessible and adaptable, focusing on grounding, opening the heart, and reconnecting to natural rhythm rather than pushing or striving. Breath awareness guides each transition, allowing the practice to feel both energizing and calming. As the body settles, the session gradually transitions into a deeply restful sound journey. Using instruments such as singing bowls, chimes and voice gently wash through the nervous system, supporting relaxation, emotional release, and creative flow. You're invited to rest, receive, and simply be. This class is ideal if you're seeking: * A gentle yet uplifting movement practice * Stress relief and nervous system reset * A sense of grounding, creativity, and embodied calm * A mindful experience that blends movement, sound, and presence No prior yoga or sound healing experience is needed. Come as you are - curious, tired, inspired, or simply in need of a pause. โœจ Move. Feel. Rest. Reset. โœจ Bring your own mat or use one of ours.

music therapy (psychotherapy) sessions
music therapy (psychotherapy) sessions
**Music Therapy & Systemic Psychotherapy** My approach integrates music therapy and systemic psychotherapy to support emotional expression, connection, and transformation. Through sound, improvisation, and dialogue, we explore inner experiences, family dynamics, and relational patterns in a safe and creative space. The sessions invite awareness, playfulness, and presence โ€” allowing music to become both mirror and bridge between what is felt and what can be spoken. Whether through active musicking, deep listening, or verbal reflection, the process unfolds at your own pace, weaving together body, voice, and relationships as pathways to healing and growth.

Philosophy of Friendship: What are the bases of "friendship"?
Philosophy of Friendship: What are the bases of "friendship"?
As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"โ€”their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous personโ€™s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's characterโ€”a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!
