Christmas Eve will be a cold but partly sunny day. We will meet on the west side of the Pichelsberg S-Bahn station, on the platform, and start the hike from the end point (https://www.komoot.com/tour/2692511554). Please prepare for a rather speedy hike. (Bring comfortable shoes, for example.) We will have a break at Grunewaldturm, but the café/restaurant there will be closed. However, there is an outdoor seating area with benches and tables where we can hopefully sit and enjoy the food we have brought with us. Towards the end of the hike, we will leave the track to visit the Indian restaurant Rasam (Wasgenstraße), where I have made a reservation (to ensure that the restaurant is open on Christmas Eve). If you need to contact other participants during the hike (for example, to find out where to meet us if you are running late), use this WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EwJh4rtVLywHI025XOVsaj . For all other purposes, especially socialising and posting photos, please use the Telegram subgroup 'Event Chat & Photos': https://t.me/addlist/KAOk2PA4BDE0ZTY8 . The hike will take place if at least 6 people sign up. As long as there are more than 6 people, you can sign up and cancel as many times as you like. If there are 6 or less people, please avoid cancelling, as this might make the other participants feel insecure about whether the hike will take place (or whether there is something wrong with the hike and they should cancel as well --> [Matthew effect - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_effect)). If there are less than 6 participants, the hike will also take place unless the majority of the participants are in favor of canceling the hike.

[*Registration form required below*] **Interested in Japanese sword fighting or Japanese culture? Come join a trial and experience the traditional Samurai art at Katori Shintō-ryū in Schöneberg.** **Trial Fee**: **25€**/ session (2hr). Classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 19:00 to 21:00. **!!SIGN UP HERE**: [Katori Shinto-ryū Berlin Sign-up (google.com)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeBt4A13VgnEcgQQ2PDaruthmYMRWineG4KtUCKsuC9KBsCUQ/viewform) Registration is required before your participation so that we can prepare enough training equipment. **Address**: Belziger Str. 25, 10823 Berlin. **No previous experience required!** The classes are in English and German. **Our website**: [Kenjutsu Berlin - Official school of Katori Shinto-ryu in Berlin (katoriberlin.org)](https://katoriberlin.org/) **Katori Shintō-ryū** is one of the oldest Japanese sword fighting traditions (koryū) still practised today and is recognized by the Japanese government as a cultural intangeable asset. The school was founded in the middle of the 15th century by Iizasa Chōisai Ienao at the Katori Shrine (Katori jingū) and has become the origin of numerous other martial arts schools over the course of its almost 600-year history. The training consists of the continuous repetition of fixed sequences of movements (kata) and includes the use of classic Japanese weapons such as the sword (iai-jutsu, battō-jutsu, ken-jutsu, ryōtō-jutsu, kodachi-jutsu), the long staff (bō-jutsu), the lance (naginata-jutsu) and the spear (sō-jutsu), as well as unarmed disciplines, tactics and spiritual aspects. **The Katori Berlin dojo** is the only official shibu of Otake Nobutoshi-shihan’s dojo Shinbukan in Germany and fully dedicated to the transmission and study of one martial tradition: Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū. Through these efforts we aim to contribute to the cultural preservation of this martial tradition. The dojo has one officially appointed shidosha. **Our sensei**: Sebastian Graetz has been active in martial arts since 1997. After almost 15 years of taekwondo in Berlin, he started with Katori Shintō-ryū in Asia in 2014. Since then, he has studied in Japan with Ōtake Risuke-shihan and Ōtake Nobutoshi-shihan, and in Vietnam with Malte Stokhof-shihandai. In 2023, he received his Menkyo license and permission to set up a training group in Berlin the following year.

Let's run! Our run starts at 19:00, and takes about 1 hour depending on the route and group. Please try to arrive at the start on time! Our pace is typically 5:10 to 5:40 min/km, but there are plenty of crossings to catch up to the group. We will go every week, also in winter! Even if nobody appears to go, there are usually a few runners there without signing up. Here are the route options we did a couple of times now, we usually discuss which one to do before we start: 9K: https://onthegomap.com/s/gtb3eim5 (*more Spree*) 10K: https://onthegomap.com/s/lqlph997 (*more Tiergarten*) 10K: https://onthegomap.com/s/rjhqh51f (*more Park am Nordbahnhof*) 10K: https://onthegomap.com/s/g6a27mgr (*more Humboldthain / Panke*) 11K: https://onthegomap.com/s/ii3l1h0d (*more Panke, Mauerpark*) The routes MAY be slightly different due to construction works! Depending on the opinion of people joining and the weather, we'll decide on the spot and do between 9K and 11K and may experiment with (other) routes/extensions :-) We typically do some stair running at the Bundestagsbibliothek, if the route passes by there, about 2K before the finish, which is really nice to get rid of any excess energy you might have. The stair running is optional, you can take a short rest as well. Usually there are a few fast people pulling ahead, but don't worry, you won't be left behind, and we all meet at the stairs again :) Occasionally we may go for a drink after the run at the Castle across the street from the start/finish and claim a table in the garden if the weather is nice (late spring, summer, early autumn). If you are interested in that, bring some money. They do take cards as well. We do NOT have a place to store your bag(s)/clothes, but some people reported success by asking in the Castle... Let's gooooo! 🏃🏃🏃

Try Brompton is a Brompton experience ride for those considering purchasing a Brompton. The purpose of this ride is to deepen your understanding of Brompton bikes, ride courses designed to fully enjoy Bromptons, rediscover the city, experience new ways to enjoy it, and experience the lifestyle that comes with owning a Brompton. We guide participants through folding techniques and shifting the internal gear hub—a common source of confusion for first-time riders—while riding. By comparing different bikes, we help riders deeply understand each model's characteristics, supporting them in making an informed choice and purchase. https://www.komoot.com/tour/2544443144?share_token=aHITulkVldsQO8ZTduViGdGjVF2ZkFee5TKZ6D4484fY5EXfHK&ref=wtd

**👋🏽 Tschüss Tretmühle & einsame Vorsätze. Hallo Klarheit & echte Verbindung.** **🎯 In diesem Workshop setzt Du Dir Ziele für 2026 - gemeinsam mit Menschen, die sich ähnliche Fragen stellen.** **🌞 Ein Tag für Träume, klare Richtung & gute Verbindungen.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\- **💶 Teilnahmegebühr: 50 EUR vor Ort in bar oder PayPal.** Du kannst Dir auch ein [Ticket auf Evenbrite sichern](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/deine-ziele-dein-leben-deine-ziele-fur-2026-tickets-1977605942610). Rechnung ist möglich. \-\-\-\-\-\-\- Gute Freunde & Freundinnen reden über ihre Ziele & Träume. Sie schauen zurück auf das vergangene Jahr und überlegen, wie das nächste werden soll. Genau das machen wir in diesem Workshop auch. **☕ In gemütlicher Atmosphäre widmen wir uns 4 Themen:** 🙏🏼 Wie war mein 2025. Was war großartig? Was war lappig? 🌴 Wie stelle ich mir mein Leben vor? 🌻 Wie soll mein 2026 werden? 🚂 Wie möchte ich die Ziele in 2026 umsetzen? Wir denken nach über das eigene Leben & das nächste Jahr - und sind gleichzeitig immer wieder im Austausch. **🌳 Gemeinsame Inspiration & Referenz** Deine Ziele für's nächste Jahr entstehen nicht im stillen Kämmerlein, sondern verbunden mit anderen. Dabei teilst Du, was Du teilen möchtest - was Du lieber für Dich behältst, bleibt Dein Geheimnis. Am Ende hast Du einen Plan für 2026. Du hast Dich mit anderen darüber ausgetauscht, Dich inspirieren lassen und vielleicht habt ihr ja sogar ähnliche Pläne? **Der Tag ist auch eine Referenz für:** Wie wäre es, wenn ich mit meinen Freunden gemeinsam einen solchen Tag gestalte? Die Unterlagen dafür hast Du ja im Anschluss und kannst gleich einen Termin mir Deinen Freunden vereinbaren. Ich freue mich auf jeden Fall auf gute Gesprächen & einen angenehmen Tag. **📝 Agenda:** * 8:45 Uhr: Ankommen, Tee & Schwatz * Kennenlernen & Rückblick 2025 * Lebensvision & Träume * 12:30 - 14:00 Uhr - Mittagspause * Deine Ziele für 2026 * Schärfung & Umsetzung * 18:00 Uhr - Ende . **🥗 Essen & Trinken** In der Mittagspause kannst Du Dich auf eigene Kosten in einem der zahlreichen, umliegenden Restaurants & Imbisse versorgen, sitzen & schwatzen. Bring Dir gern auch Snacks für den Tag und zwischendurch mit. Ich stelle **verschiedene Tees** **und Kaffee** zur Verfügung. . **🏡 Location** * Wir treffen uns bei mir am Wohnzimmertisch. * Für das Gefühl von chilliger Gemeinsamkeit ist gesorgt. . 🚫 **Was ist der Workshop nicht:** **Der Workshop ist kein Tschakka-Workshop.** Ich glaube, Du kannst (fast) alles erreichen, was Du willst. Doch ich glaube, die meisten Teilnehmenden werden eher solide Themen für 2026 haben. Dennoch bin ich offen für große Ziele - schließlich arbeite ich selbst an etwas Großem (Das Buch über Freundschaft). Für ein klein wenig Tschakka ist also auch Platz - nur eben keine Techno-Musik & blinkende Lichter. **👱🏽‍♂️ Über mich:** * Betreiber der Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de) * Ausgebildeter NLP-Trainer ([DVNLP](https://www.dvnlp.de/)) & Coach * Seit 15 Jahren setze ich mir selbst Ziele mit Freunden. * Jahrelang selbstständiger Unternehmensberater (u.a. über 5 Jahre Strategieberater für die Bundsbereitschaftsleitung des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes) * Eigene Vita: Von schüchternen Jungen zum fitten Mann * u.a. Weltreise: 1 Jahr allein eine Runde um den Globus. Das war fett! * Mehr über mich: [LinkedIn - Georg Preller](https://www.linkedin.com/in/georg-preller/) **😲 Ehemalige Teilnehmer/innen meiner Meeups:** "Was Georg kann: Tiefgang & Spaß zu gleichen Zeit. Ich bin immer wieder gern dabei!" . "Während des Workshops habe ich erkannt: In der Firma setzen wir uns jedes Jahr Ziele und reden mindestens ein Mal in der Woche darüber - nennt sich Meetings oder Jour Fixe bei uns. In meinem Privatleben lasse ich das schleifen und wundere mich, warum vieles nicht zu meiner Zufriedenheit läuft. Jetzt habe ich meine Ziele für 2024! Danke." . "Ziele alleine setzen ist ja nett, doch angenehmer finde ich den Austausch mit anderen. Ich mache mir das jetzt zur Gewohnheit. Interessant fand ich, welche Themen die anderen hatten. Wir sind doch alle gleich und doch verschiedenen." . "Georg bietet ein solides System, wie man sich seine Ziele setzt. Alles bedacht, und auswählen kann ich alleine. Man merkt, dass er eine gute Ausbildung hat. Gut finde ich, dass wir sowohl das gesamte Leben angesehen haben als auch das nächste Jahr." . "Sympatisch, übersichtlich, direkt. Dankeschön!" . **👋🏽 Get & stay in touch:** **✈ Telegram-Kanal: [t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft](http://t.me/abenteuer_freundschaft)** für Events, Workshops & Neuste Erkenntnisse aus der Freundschaftsforschung (nur Kurznews) **✉ Freundschafts-Newsletter:** [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/newsletter) Alle 4 Wochen das Neuste aus der Freundschaftsforschung.

Hi folks, this is a special meetup group for the regular Blood on the Clocktower games every Sunday in the Brewdog in Berlin Friedrichshain. We run beginner-friendly and intermediate-level games throughout the afternoon and evening. **Friendly newcomers of all skill levels are welcome, no experience required!** Our group aims to provide a fun and welcoming space to experience this thrilling game of social deception. **We focus on promoting a positive and fun group atmosphere, where players don’t take themselves or the game too seriously, whether they’re heroically winning or spectacularly losing.** Our players follow the code of conduct for the Berlin Board Gamers group and are expected to treat each other with respect and consideration – “killing with grace, and dying with dignity”. We are usually able to offer two simultaneous games on Sundays. If you are marked as "attending" in Meetup and are in your seat at 15:00, your place is guaranteed for as long as you want to stay. All other seats are first come, first served. We always run at least one beginner-friendly game of the basic version of Clocktower ("Trouble Brewing") throughout the afternoon and evening. We also usually have enough players for a second intermediate-level game. If you are already very familiar with Clocktower, consider also joining our Tuesday meetup for advanced players, when we play with complex custom scripts and characters. Blood on the Clocktower is a deep, mechanical game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception… think Werewolf on steroids. Each player receives a unique secret role and plays either for the good team – the uninformed majority, gathering info and working with others to solve the puzzle – or the evil team, the informed minority, scheming to eliminate good players and protect their demon from execution. In our beginner games no prior experience is expected and we will gladly explain the game rules to any newcomers. We play in English so players should be able to understand and express themselves in English: an exception is possible for one pair of players willing to play together (as a “Revolutionary” pair) where one player can interpret into and out of English. Please let us know in advance if this is the case.

Jeden Monat gibt es den thematischen Brettspielabend an dem wir vorwiegend etwas längere Kennerspiele zu einem bestimmten Thema spielen werden. Etwas Erfahrung mit Brettspielen solltet ihr deshalb schon mitbringen. Ein paar Spiele bringen wir immer mit, ihr seid aber gerne dazu eingeladen eure eigenen Lieblingsspiele mitzubringen. Falls ihr keine eigenen Spiele besitzt, gibt es mittlerweile in allen städtischen Bibliotheken eine gute Spieleauswahl. Spiele die z.B. auf den Tisch kommen: Flügelschlag, Dune Imperium, Die Weisse Burg, Harmonies, 7Wonders Auf Grund des begrenzten Platzes meldet euch bitte per Email an. Das aktuelle Monatsthema könnt ihr auch per Email erfragen: [meeplemoabit@gmx.de](mailto:meeplemoabit@gmx.de) Eintritt und Getränke auf Spendenbasis.

**Caller: Gaye Fifer** **Band: Hot Coffee Breakdown** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!

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.
