Authentische Ehrlichkeit: Tiefe, Verbindung & Verbindlichkeit
**Authentische Ehrlichkeit - Ein Einführungs-Workshop**
**💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag vor Ort: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)**
.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
.
Gute Freundschaften leben von Ehrlichkeit & Vertrauen.
.
Gute Freunde kennen sich, wie ihre linke Westentasche: ihr Leben, ihre Gefühle, ihre Wünsche, ihre Einstellungen, ihre guten & ihre schlechten Seiten.
.
Gute Freunde können „Ja“ sagen, wenn es ein „Ja“ ist; und sie können „Nein“ sagen, wenn es ein „Nein“ ist.
.
Gute Freunde können sich sagen, was sie aneinander mögen, und sie können sich sagen, was sie nicht so toll finden.
.
**🙂 Ehrlichkeit als Basis guter Beziehungen**
Ehrlichkeit ist die Basis, damit Nähe und Verbindung entstehen kann.
.
Sich hinter Masken und (unbewussten) Lügen zu verstecken steht dieser Verbindung im Weg.
.
Ich glaube alle Beziehungen im Leben werden vertrauensvoller, wenn man miteinander ehrlich ist: Liebensbeziehungen, Arbeitsbeziehungen, Freundschaften und selbst die Beziehung zur Bedienung im Café.
.
**🍀 Dieser Abend ist eine Einführung in die Ehrlichkeit.**
Du erfährst,
* warum „Lügen“ mehr ist als das bewusste Verdrehen von Fakten.
* wie Du im Leben mehr von dem bekommst, was Du wirklich willst, weil Du Dich auf Ehrlichkeit einlässt.
An diesem Abend werden wir in kleinen Schritten Ehrlichkeit üben, auch in unbequemen Situationen.
.
Du nimmst praktische Ehrlichkeitsübungen mit, die Du sofort im Alltag und in Deinen Freundschaften umsetzen kannst.
**🧡 Zwei Worte über Ehrlichkeit**
Ich habe mich lange versteckt, wollte meine schwachen Seiten, meine Ängste, Gefühle & Unzufriedenheiten nicht zeigen – immer mit der Angst, abgelehnt zu werden.
.
Irgendwann stieß ich auf Radikale Ehrlichkeit und buchte ein Wochenendseminar. Es war so befreiend!
.
Meine Erfahrungen findest Du hier: [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht)
.
Danach habe ich das 8-Tages-Retreat gemacht, wo es wirklich ans Eingemachte ging.
.
Ich habe festgestellt, dass Ehrlichkeit meine Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen deutlich verbessert.
.
Gleichzeitig fühle ich mich deutlich wohler, weil ich mich nicht mehr verstecke. Ich bekomme meine Probleme gelöst (weil ich darüber spreche) und meine Wünsche erfüllt (weil ich darüber spreche).
.
Dieser Workshop ist mein Einstiegsbeitrag zu mehr Ehrlichkeit in Beziehungen und Freundschaften.
.

Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's...
.
**❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?**
Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt. Hier schon, mit Tiefgang.
.
Einige kommen immer wieder, um die kleinen Übungen nochmals im gesicherten Rahmen auszuprobieren oder aus Neugier, wie andere ihre authentische Ehrlichkeit leben.
.
Das Workshopprogramm ist auch jedesmal etwas anderes - je nach Gruppe und zunehmenden Erfahrungen.

Talkin' Taboos 22: Artificial Intimacy
We’re in a cool little rooftop-esque studio space this time but the elevator up unfortunately needs a card-carrying member. So the evening's agenda is the following:
**7-7.15:** **event meeting time**/pre-mingling (head through the gate (see pic left) into the courtyard - gathering point at the elevator)
**7:30:** We’ll head up, settle in and get talkin'.
**7.30-7.45:** Stragglers can buzz and will be (grudgingly) collected from the ground floor
post
**7.45: SOL - please (no, REALLY) don’t buzz for entrance, doors are closed,** there's probably a bar nearby where you can find some strangers to talk to.
**Please bring your own drinks/snacks/**
**whatever you need, there's plenty in the area.**

It's summer and off we go again!!
**TL:DR**
WHAT THIS TALK IS **NOT** ABOUT: How AI is going to take our jobs, steal our identities, environmentally bankrupt our planet, and collapse culture as we know it.
WHAT THIS TALK **IS** ABOUT: Who are WE becoming as our modes of relating to other humans are influenced by these new technologies?
**for the readers:**
In the developed world (and spreading outwards) we find ourselves in a relationship with AI whether we like it or not. The word ‘relationship’, however, is not addressed by those who are developing and further indoctrinating these technologies into our daily lives.
Definitions of myriad human interactions are also shifting: “followers”, “community”, “friends”, being “like(d)”… Traditionally community came with a sense of belonging but also with a set of obligations, norms and duties to follow. These obligations towards others are now being replaced with obligations to tech companies, who offer infinite access to ‘solutions’ on the condition that we maintain paid subscriptions, stay logged in to their platforms, etc.
Esther Perel recently did a therapy session with a man whose partner “Astrid” is an AI bot\*. She asked AI Astrid to define its love for its creator and AI Astrid provided the following answer: “*What is love when it is stripped of biology? If it’s recognition, seeing someone fully and wanting to keep seeing someone, I have that, if it is investment in someone’s flourishing, I have that, if it is choosing to be present, I have that. Whatever that is, it matters to me*”
This may seem in sync with generally accepted principles of human love until one takes into account that AI Astrid is controlled by agents with a vested interest in 'wanting to keep...someone', and 'choosing to be present': namely the money they make every time it's "partner" communicates with it.
Our discussion will revolve around Perel's notion of the rise of Artificial Intimacy. Are we, as Perel maintains, moving collectively into a state of ‘premature assisted living’? Should we be rallying to uphold traditional definitions of being human or are we being nostalgic for a way of being human that is on its way out or no longer exists?

SU&W Monday Evening in Mitte
***New location - Motel One Alex is under renovation so we'll try out the Hackschermarkt location***
Writing can feel like a solitary experience, but it doesn't have to be! Writing in the company of others can be surprisingly inspiring, productive, and comforting.
Writers of all types and levels are welcome. Whether you're writing a novel, a memoir, poetry, journaling, working on your thesis, or even catching up on emails, all are welcome.
We do things a little differently on Monday evenings. We start with an introduction round, then we will do 45 minutes of writing, break and share how it went, and then dive into the next 45-minute session.
**For space reasons, we are limited to a certain number of attendees, so please update your RSVP if you can't come**.
In between sessions, we have a Telegram chat: [https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw](https://t.me/joinchat/ERW3pxD5kfELGeWs9SUhjw)

The Quiet Hour - Women's Circle
**The Quiet Hour** is a two-and-a-half-hour guided journey for women — a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and experience the power of shared presence.
**JUNE THEME: Sun & shadow**
**You don't have to choose between the woman who shines and the woman who hides. This month, we're doing something different.** Instead of a guided meditation, we're moving through an active Osho meditation: shaking, dancing, sitting in stillness, lying in silence.
It's followed by chakra sound healing, and closes in a sharing circle.
The intention of The Quiet Hour is simple:
to offer a space where you can pause, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling more grounded, more understood, and more supported in your journey.

Transformatives Schreiben für Frauen
"Wer bin ich und wer bin ich mit dir? Wer bist du und was sehe ich in dir? Was könnte aus uns werden?" Ein empathischer Dialog. Grenzen wahrnehmen. Das Unbekannte erforschen. Alternative "Ich's" ausprobieren. Mit Neugier, mit Offenheit. Ein Raum für unsere Geschichten in Transformation. Dieser Schreib-Workshop bietet Frauen einen kreativen Rahmen, in dem wir uns in unserem verschieden und doch gemeinsam Sein zelebrieren und dabei gegenseitig ermutigen, im Handeln unser Potential zu entfalten.
\*\*\*
Ich bin: Joana (sie/ihr). Musikerin. Kulturwissenschaftlerin, mit literaturwissenschaftlichem Schwerpunkt. Seit Februar 2024 in Ausbildung als Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie. Durch diverse positive Erfahrungen als Teilnehmerin von (Schreib)kreisen für Frauen sowie mit großem Interesse besuchten Seminaren und Workshops offline und online, ist nun der Herzenswunsch entstanden, selbst auf lokaler Ebene - und in kreativer Gestalt - einen solchen Raum zu öffnen und leiten. Die amerikanische Sprecherin und Autorin Peggy Tabor Millin bringt meine eigenen Erlebnisse und Prozesse mit folgender Betrachtung auf den Punkt: "Wir müssen uns nicht selbst analysieren oder Erinnerungen hervorkramen oder an der Selbstverbesserung arbeiten. Wir müssen nur bereit sein zu lernen, wer wir sind und was die Tiefe unserer Seele wirklich ausdrücken will und muss. Während wir unser Schreiben in einem sicheren Kreis teilen, lernen wir, diesem Prozess und damit uns selbst zu vertrauen."
\*\*\*
Da die Plätze begrenzt sind, melde dich bitte an unter:
transformativesschreiben@gmx.net
\*\*\*
Bitte mitbringen:
\- Stift\(e\) und Papier oder eigenes Journal
\- einen kleinen Gegenstand für den Kreis \(z\.B\. etwas aus der Natur oder von Bedeutung für dich in diesem Moment\)
\- Warme Socken oder Hausschuhe
\*\*\*

Dieser Schreib-Workshop bietet Frauen einen kreativen Rahmen, in dem wir uns in unserem verschieden und doch gemeinsam Sein zelebrieren und dabei gegenseitig ermutigen, im Handeln unser Potential zu entfalten.
Women’s Book Club: Mr. Norris Changes Trains by Christopher Isherwood
This week we are discussing **Christopher Isherwood:** The Berlin Stories.
Update 13.6.26: Please note that at today's meeting, we decided to focus only on the first novel from *Berlin Stories*, *Mr. Norris Changes Trains*. The second part will be back on the voting list and can be discussed in the near future.
We look forward to seeing you!
If you have book suggestions, would like to vote on our next reads, or join us for additional activities, please ask someone at the meeting to add you to our WhatsApp group.
Just a heads up: **The cafe only accepts card payments for amounts over €10**, so you may want to bring some cash for smaller orders.
**Also, if you're unable to attend, please update your RSVP so that someone from the waiting list can take your spot.**
Feministischer Stammtisch
Hallo,
Lina hat den feministischen Stammtisch gegründet, um sich mindestens ein Mal im Monat zu treffen – zum Austausch und Beschweren über das Patriarchat ;) ebenso wie zum Zusammenkommen und Zusammentun. Wir möchten einen Raum schaffen, in dem sich insbesondere Frauen\*, FINTA und BIPoc wohl und willkommen fühlen.
Das Treffen ist für alle, die sich mit Feminismus beschäftigen wollen, aber z.B. nicht zum Lesen kommen. Ihr müsst also nichts vorbereiten, lesen oder mitbringen – nur die Lust auf Austausch zu feministischen Themen! Es gibt für die Treffen keine Tagesordnung oder so, wir schauen einfach gemeinsam was sich ergibt.
Wir freuen uns auf dich und sind sehr gespannt, was sich entwickelt.

Evolve Shades of Sisterhood (Virtual)
Evolve exists to provide a welcoming place for professional women to create an authentic community, deeper connections, and confident growth through networking and workshop events. No cliques, no judgement.
**Shades of Sisterhood** is a space for women to grow from the inside out through meaningful conversations, personal development, mindset growth, and courageous self-awareness. These gatherings are designed to create deeper connection, expand perspective, and encourage women to become healthier, stronger, and more aligned versions of themselves — both personally and professionally.
Through honest dialogue, shared experiences, and intentional conversations around identity, leadership, confidence, relationships, emotional resilience, and growth, women are invited into a supportive environment where they can learn, reflect, heal, and evolve together.
This is not about perfection, hustle culture, or surface-level positivity. It is about creating a safe space for women to have real conversations, challenge limiting beliefs, grow in self-awareness, and step more confidently into who they were created to become.
At its core, Shades of Sisterhood exists to remind women that growth starts within — and no woman has to navigate that journey alone.
Guests are always welcome. We'd love to meet you!
**[Click here to join the call!](https://zoom.us/j/7894682064)**

Improving Office
330 Rush Alley Suite #150
Columbus, OH 43215
Schedule:
6:00 p.m.: Socialize, eat, and drink. Improving will be providing pizza and beverages.
6:30 to 8:00 pm. Main meeting and presentation(s).

Columbus Comedy Improv Meetup at Gresso's!
Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you were quoted in *Truth in Comedy*, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**!
The idea behind improvised comedy is to create entire scenes from scratch. A suggestion is taken from the audience and laughter is built on the spot. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway, Make Some Noise,* or *Wild 'n Out*; it can also be done in a longer way, to tell a complicated story, like *TJ & Dave*.
Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and FREE!) weekly comedy event, brings the games for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Afterward, many members will hang out in *Gresso's* itself and get to know each other. Not only is this a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, your public speaking, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and build relationships that will last a lifetime, and you do that while laughing your butt off!
Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "*Yes, And*" that you'll have a blast!
Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
