Wilderness Hiking

**Wir treffen uns am 05.06. um 19:00 im kleinen Café des Paul-Schneider-Hauses für einen gemütlichen Brettspiele-Abend! Getränke können dort gekauft oder selbst mitgebracht werden. Was mitzubringen ist: Snacks (wenn benötigt) und eure Lieblingsspiele! Es sind dort keine Spiele vorrätig, deshalb sind wir auf unsere eigenen Spiele angewiesen. Wenn jemand aber nichts mitbringen kann, ist das auch kein Problem. Ich freue mich auf euch :)** Wir möchten eine Gemeinschaft gründen, in der Menschen sich treffen, austauschen und gemeinsam neue Erfahrungen machen. Unser Ziel ist es, eine offene und fröhliche Atmosphäre zu schaffen, in der neue Bekanntschaften entstehen und interessante Gespräche geführt werden können. Bist du neu in Spandau und hast noch nicht richtig Anschluss gefunden? Lebst du schon länger in Spandau und möchtest nicht immer nach Mitte fahren, um Neues zu erleben? Wenn du Lust hast, Teil dieser Gemeinschaft zu werden und gemeinsam schöne Momente zu erleben, bist du herzlich eingeladen, dich uns anzuschließen! Wir freuen uns auf dich! :) \-\-\- **EN** \-\-\- **We are meeting on the 5th of June at 7 pm for a relaxed Boardgames Evening at the small café of the Paul-Schneider-Haus! You can either buy drinks there or bring your own if you prefer. Important to bring: snacks (if needed) and your favourite boardgames! There are no games there, so we rely on what we bring. But also don't worry, if you have nothing to bring. Can't wait to see you there :)** We want to create a community where people can meet, exchange ideas and share new experiences. Our aim is to create an open and friendly atmosphere where you can find new friends and have interesting conversations. Are you new to Spandau and haven't really found your place yet? Have you been living in Spandau for a while and don't always want to travel to Mitte to experience something new?

Du lernst in vier Stunden Shinrin Yoku kennen, um Burnout vorzubeugen, Stress zu reduzieren und im Einklang mit der Natur zu leben – mit deiner Natur! Du bist hier richtig, wenn sich dein Leben gerade so anfühlt: · Du bist permanent gestresst. · Du hast den Eindruck, kurz vor einem Burnout zu stehen. · Du arbeitest zu viel und deine Gedanken kreisen ununterbrochen. · Du schläfst schlecht oder zu wenig. · Du sehnst dich nach Natureindrücken mit allen Sinnen. · Du brauchst eine Gegenwelt zum Schreibtisch. · Dir würde eine Unterbrechung vom Hamsterrad gut tun. · Du suchst eine Gelegenheit, um endlich wieder einmal Ruhe zu finden und Stille zu erleben. · Du wünschst dir ein Instrument zur Entspannung in der Natur, das du überall anwenden kannst? · Oder willst du einfach mal eine ganz neue Erfahrung machen, um Kraft und Energie zu tanken? Dann lerne den Wald mit anderen Augen sehen, entdecke eine neue unbekannte Dimension und mache intensive, sinnliche Wahrnehmungen bei Shinrin Yoku Waldbaden. Tu dir nach einer anstrengenden Woche etwas Gutes. Du hast es verdient. Das Leben ist zu kurz, um es mit Stress zu verbringen. Schenke dir Zeit. Komm bei dir an. Vergiss den Alltag für vier Stunden und genieße außergewöhnliche Erlebnisse in der Natur, in der Stille, mit deinen Sinnen und in deinem Körper. Tauche mit Ritualen in die Stille des Waldes ein. Erlebe die transformierende Kraft des Waldes. Wir kommen aus der Natur, wir sind Teil der Natur und wir gehen wieder in die Natur ein. Deshalb verbinde dich gemeinsam mit diesem Lebenselixier. Wir bewegen uns bewusst: barfuß, langsam und auf verschiedenen Untergründen. Das Bad im Wald ist ein Erlebnis mit allen Sinnen. Du erlebst Rituale, die dich Altes loslassen und Neues erleben lassen: angeleitete Meditationen, Atem- und Achtsamkeitsübungen und mehr. Der Lärm in deinem Kopf, das ewige Gedankenkarussell, kommt endlich einmal zum Schweigen. Du kommst zur Ruhe und bei dir an und lernst naturverbundene Menschen kennen. Du entdeckst Grundzüge der Waldmedizin in Theorie und Praxis. Der Wald ist ein Meer an Molekülen, die deinem Körper und deiner Seele gut tun. In Japan ist längst bekannt: Waldluft ist Medizin zum Eintauchen. Der Shinrin Yoku Workshop schenkt dir Kraft und neue Impulse. Du wirst mit neuen Perspektiven ins anschließende Wochenende starten. Lass dich überraschen, sei offen, lerne naturverbundene Menschen beim Shinrin Yoku kennen. **Anmeldung:** Melde dich gleich zum nächsten Shinrin-Yoku Workshop am Freitag dem 5. Juni 2026 von 15.00 bis 19.00 Uhr an: info@kerstingernig.de Der Workshop ist auf 12 Teilnehmer begrenzt. Erlebe außergewöhnliche Stunden in Resonanz mit der Natur und den besonderen Menschen, die dabei sind. **Wo?** Treffpunkt: Dr. Kerstin Gernig, Haus der ungewöhnlichen UnternehmerInnen, Bertramstraße 125, 13467 Berlin. **Kosten** 49,00 € brutto pro Teilnehmer. **Kleidung** Das Waldbaden findet bei jedem Wetter (außer bei Unwetter) statt. Trage bequeme, wetterfeste Kleidung und feste Schuhe oder Barfußschuhe, wenn du welche hast. **Vorbereitende Lektüre:** [Shinrin Yoku. Wie du sanft Stress reduzierst.](https://www.kerstingernig.de/shinrin-yoku-wie-du-sanft-stress-reduzierst) **Kontakt bei Rückfragen** Dr. Kerstin Gernig: [info@kerstingernig.de](mailto:info@kerstingernig.de)

Wir setzen uns in einen entspannten Trance-Zustand und reisen zur gewünschten Transformation/Veränderung des eigenen Lebens. Dabei aktivieren wir die Ressourcen/Kräfte/Stärken, die dafür gebraucht werden, und die schon längst da sind: "Die Ressourcen, die du brauchst, findest du in deiner eigenen Geschichte" - Milton Erickson, der Vater der modernen Hypno-Therapie. Ich bin zertifizierte systemische Life & Business Coachin und arbeite u.a. mit dem Milton-Modell, um in einer Fantasiereise die Aufmerksamkeit nach Innen zu richten und den Zielzustand mit allen Sinnen zu erleben. Diese Form des Hypno-Coachings hilft durch unterstützte Aufmerksamkeitsfokussierung, sich in körperlich und geistig entspannte Zustände zu begeben. Je nach Tiefe der Entspannung kann man in Trance kommen. Trance ist ein ganz natürlicher Zustand (z.B. wenn man dieselbe Strecke wie im Auto-Pilot-Modus fährt) und ruft gut erforschte physiologische Veränderungen hervor wie Muskelentspannung, langsames Atmen, Abnehmen der Stresshormone. Gewünschte Zielzustände können in Trance intensiver erlebt und für positive Veränderungen nutzbar gemacht werden. **Ablauf:** \- 10 Min: Wir machen es uns auf den Matten gemütlich und machen eine kurze Runde \(wer mag\) "Wer bist du? Was möchtest du erreichen?" \- 20 Min: Wir legen uns bequem hin\. Ich führe mit anleitenden Worten durch eine Meditation hin zu einem angenehmen Trance\-Zustand\. \- 15 Min: Im Anschluss geht jede:r für sich in den Transfer "Was wäre ein guter nächster Schritt\, um dem erlebten Ziel näher zu kommen?" **Prinzipien:** \- Jede:r teilt nur das\, was er/sie möchte\. Niemand muss was sagen\. \- Der Raum ist geschützt\. Alles Geteilte bleibt im Raum\. **Mitbringen:** \- Stift \+ Zettel zum Notieren von Gedanken/Ideen/Erfahrungen **Mehr Infos zu mir:** [https://dr-anne-losert.de/](https://dr-anne-losert.de/)

**🎟️ Registration for this event is done via the MoT page, not on Meetup.** **Register here 👉 [https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-berlin/events/mot-berlin-050626](https://www.ministryoftesting.com/chapters/mot-berlin/events/mot-berlin-050626)** Hello Berlin, we're back! After the last get-together where we started shaping the Berlin chapter, we're excited to invite you all together again for an insightful evening focused on AI Test Generation, community discussions - and YOU! The evening will bring together industry experts to share their knowledge, ask questions and learn something new. Whether you're a developer, QA engineer, or tech enthusiast, you'll gain valuable perspectives and practical experiences. **✍ Registration:** Reserve your spot by clicking "Attend" on this page. Note - Participation is limited to 30 participants only. **❓ What to Expect:** • Talks from experienced speakers • Networking with the local community • A chance to speak on stage with 99 second talks • Swag and goodies from MoT and our sponsors, TestMu AI **🎤 Quality Talks** *AI Test Generation: What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t)* *Ruslan Strazhnyk - Founder & CEO @ QualityMax* Every QA tool vendor will tell you AI generates perfect tests. After building an AI test generation platform - and dogfooding it on our own codebase - I can tell you what actually happens. This talk is a practitioner’s honest debrief. I’ll walk through two years of running multi-model AI against real web apps: what produces usable tests, what produces confident-looking garbage, and where the failure modes hide. Specifically, I’ll cover: * Why reading code isn’t enough - AI generates plausible tests from source, but they fail on real UIs. Crawling the live app changes everything. * The selector problem - LLMs reach for brittle CSS selectors by default. How to force better strategies without prompt-engineering every call. * Assertions that rot - AI loves asserting exact text and prices. Why your generated suite breaks on the first content change, and how to catch it before CI does. * Multi-model routing - no single model wins at everything. What we learned running GPT-4o, Claude, and Gemini on the same flows. * Self-healing in practice - the gap between “it healed” and “it healed correctly.” You’ll leave with a clear framework for evaluating any AI test generation tool - or building your own - based on what the output actually does under pressure, not what the demo shows. Level: Intermediate, assumes familiarity with Playwright or similar frameworks *99 Second Talks* Have something to share about testing, tech, or teamwork? Whether it's a win, a challenge, or a wild idea — you’ve got **99 seconds** and a room full of curious, supportive people. Take the stage! **🕰️ Schedule:** 17:45 - Doors open (arrive early to mingle!) 18:00 - Welcome and Introduction 18.15 - Ruslan Strazhnyk: AI Test Generation: What Actually Works (and What Doesn’t) 19:15 - 99 Second Talks and networking with food and drinks **📍Location:** Assecor GmbH, Storkower Straße 207, 10369 Berlin 👀 **Want to speak at this or the next MOT Berlin event?** We are already planning our next meetup in July - and we're always looking for speakers.

Playful hike #75 **A donation of 2 euro in cash is required at the start of the event. This is uniquely to cover the 6 month Meetup fee that keeps the group alive, then we stop. Also, we limit it to maximum 6 euro per person for that period so contributions are more evenly distributed. Thank you for the support :)** 🌞 Sun, see, sand, and Schmöckwitz! Whilst it might not roll off the tongue, Schmöckwitzwerder is Berlin’s own lesser-known island paradise, and we’re ready to explore it! With Sunday’s weather looking pretty good, why not join us for a fun and laid-back hike around the island? Where else can you lounge on the beach in Berlin state and cross into Brandenburg’s waters with just one splash? We’ll be taking our time, with plenty of swim breaks to cool off in the Zeuthener See and soak up the rays along the Dahme River. 🌊 Nature lovers, bring your binoculars! You might spot herons, kingfishers, or even white-tailed eagles soaring above. 🐦🦅 And guess what? Schmöckwitz is home to Berlin’s southernmost point! The island is sprinkled with charming old villas and cute boathouses. Maybe pack your favorite games—whether it’s frisbee, möllky, viking chess or a deck of cards, it’s the perfect place to relax and play. 🏖️🏡 Join us for a day of fun in the sun! 🎉 Join the Party on Telegram: Hop into the group in this link [(Telegram)](https://t.me/+8-_rnJBuabBkNjI0) for all the event details, updates, and to keep in touch with our community.

From there, we’ll stroll around the island at a chill pace, making sure to enjoy every moment. We’re more about the swim-and-chill vibes than power hiking, so expect to splash around in at least two spots and take it easy. I can’t promise any coffee stops, food, or bathrooms along the way, so pack whatever you need to stay comfy maybe a picnic —think swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and maybe a hat for that extra sunny day. Start Meet at Alt Schmöckwitz tram stop at 10:37 am. I am taking the S8 from Ostkreuz to Grünau. I’m aiming to take this one and I’ll be at the front carriage of the Sbahn.
