**Kennst du das, wenn dich etwas einfach nicht loslässt?** **Du denkst immer wieder darüber nach, drehst dich im Kreis und hast das Gefühl, du musst es nochmal aussprechen.** Vielleicht geht es um eine Beziehung, die wehgetan hat. Um Stress im Job. Um eine Freundschaft, die sich verändert hat. Oder einfach um dieses Gefühl, gerade nicht ganz zu wissen, wohin mit all dem, was in dir ist. Du hast es deinen Liebsten schon so oft erzählt und willst ihnen eigentlich nicht noch einmal damit auf die Nerven gehen. Aber in dir ist noch so viel, was raus möchte. **Genau dafür gibt es den Heartbreak Club.** Ein Treffen unter Gleichgesinnten, an dem du nichts erklären musst und nichts beschönigen musst. Hier darfst du ehrlich sein. Hier darfst du traurig sein. Hier darfst du lachen, weinen oder einfach nur zuhören. In einer kleinen, vertrauten Gruppe kommen Frauen zusammen, die gerade ähnliche Gedanken oder Gefühle haben und sich einen Raum wünschen, in dem alles sein darf. Ohne Bewertung. Ohne Druck. Ohne den Anspruch, sofort eine Lösung zu finden. ... denn manchmal hilft es schon, zu merken: **Ich bin nicht allein mit dem, was ich fühle.** **Was dich erwartet:** * eine kleine, sichere Gruppe von Frauen * ein geschützter Raum für ehrliche Gespräche * Verständnis, Zuhören und echte Verbindung * die Möglichkeit, einfach mal alles rauszulassen * und vielleicht ein kleines bisschen Leichtigkeit am Ende **Wichtig zu wissen:** Du musst nichts vorbereiten und nichts „Perfektes“ sagen. Du darfst einfach kommen, so wie du bist mit allem, was dich gerade beschäftigt. Und nicht zu vergessen: Das ist kein Therapieangebot, sondern ein moderierter Austausch in wertschätzender Atmosphäre. **🙋‍♀️NEU HIER? Kein Problem!** Bei Bloumie kommen alle alleine (also bloß keine Scheu!) und viele sind zum ersten Mal dabei. Die Gruppen sind bewusst klein gehalten, immer moderiert und die Atmosphäre ist offen und entspannt, sodass man schnell Anschluss findet. **❗️Wichtige Änderung beim Anmeldeprozess** Unsere Community wächst aktuell auf verschiedenen Plattformen — deshalb werden alle Eventbuchungen ab sofort gebündelt über unsere eigene Plattform abgewickelt.

Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease. This walk is a simple reset. We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment. No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening. If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk. ✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):** * A short arrival and orientation * A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation) * One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress * Optional reflection in pairs or small groups * A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life 🚶**Who this is for:** * Professionals, creatives, and people in transition. * People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance. * Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical. * Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation. 🔔 **Practical notes:** * Duration: 60-90 minutes * Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing * No prior experience needed * Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused 🧭 **Facilitator:** My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction. 🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?** Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense. Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world. The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it. 🌿 **Possible effects:** A calmer nervous system. Clearer attention. A felt sense of being more present in your body. Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions. A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city. **Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**

Dear Book Enthusiasts, For our May gathering, we’ll be reading ***Broken April*** by the Albanian writer **Ismail Kadare**. First published in 1978, this powerful novel is set in the remote highlands of northern Albania, where life is governed by the ancient Kanun — a strict code of customary law that regulates honor, hospitality, and blood feuds. The story follows a young man who has just committed a killing required by the code and now lives through the brief, suspended days before vengeance inevitably returns. Through this stark and poetic narrative, Kadare explores fate, tradition, violence, and the quiet tragedy of lives bound by inherited laws. 📅 Date & Time: 10.05.2026 at 15:00 📍 Location: Audrey coffee, Holzendorffstraße 18, 14057 Berlin 💬 Fee: As always, a 3 € contribution after the meeting helps cover organization costs I’m very much looking forward to discussing this haunting and thought-provoking novel with you — and to sharing another thoughtful afternoon together. Warmly, Sofya

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: For those seeing HOKUM, please purchase your ticket for the 7:00pm showing and meet inside the theater lobby at 6:50pm!

**Our May novel is: *The Quiet Librarian* by Allen Eskens** **This month’s book is set in the 20th century and mixes historical fiction with suspense and thriller elements. It also centers on women’s stories and relationships. The novel is 368 pages in print or 8 hours and 12 minutes on audiobook.** Hana Babic is a quiet, middle-aged librarian in Minnesota who wants nothing more than to be left alone. But when a detective arrives with the news that her best friend has been murdered, Hana knows that something evil has come for her, a dark remnant of the past she and her friend had shared. Thirty years before, Hana was someone else: Nura Divjak, a teenager growing up in the mountains of war-torn Bosnia—until Serbian soldiers arrived to slaughter her entire family before her eyes. The events of that day thrust Nura into the war, leading her to join a band of militia fighters, where she became not only a fierce warrior but a legend—the deadly Night Mora. But a shattering final act forced Nura to flee to the United States with a bounty on her head\*\*.\*\*
