Meetup for laid off folks in Berlin
Sat, Aug 8, 4:00 PMPlease RSVP on luma: https://luma.com/ljk9g8mi # Laid off? Same! Barely anyone I know hasn't been laid off at least once. Layoffs feel like another Tuesday right now. That's why I call us "Generation Layoff." If you've been laid off, or feel one coming - this is your space. This meetup is for everybody pre-, during or post-layoff. Whether you stressed out about an upcoming layoff or you've been laid off and now job-hunting or want to start something of your own - come and share. No judgment, no pressure. We share where we're at, what we're going through, and what's coming next. This isn't another networking event where we hunt opportunities and call being laid off "impacted by company restructuring." We connect people based on the challenges they're actually facing - so everyone leaves with something useful, whether that's a contact, a resource, or just knowing you're not alone. Being laid off is often treated as a taboo topic - and it shouldn't be. We'll exchange all the insider tips and tricks and get stronger together. What to Expect: → A chill, zero-judgement safe space → Addressing your challenges → People helping people ORGANISATIONAL STUFFS: → We'll meet in a park, bring a blanket to sit on, a drink of your choice and some snacks, whatever it is you need for a picnic style. → In case of rain we will go to the BRLO Brewery. If you can't find us, call +4917626669794 We meet in Gleisdreieck park here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/u8T3YfrYX5q8BASV7?utm_source=luma](https://maps.app.goo.gl/u8T3YfrYX5q8BASV7?utm_source=luma)
JOB INTERVIEW LAB
Tue, Aug 18, 4:30 PM### Inside Secrets from the Other Side of the Table A practical workshop combining recruiter insights, interview practice, confidence-building tools, and real-world feedback. You've updated your CV. You've sent the applications. You've rehearsed your answers. Then the interview invitation arrives... and suddenly your confidence decides to take a coffee break. Job Interview Lab is a practical, interactive workshop designed to help you prepare for interviews with more clarity, confidence, and real-world insight. Led by a former international recruiter who has interviewed, hired, and trained hiring managers across multiple countries, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to understand what actually happens on the other side of the table. This is not another lecture about "selling yourself" or memorising perfect answers. Instead, you'll explore how interviews work from the recruiter's perspective, practice in a supportive environment, receive feedback, and learn simple techniques to manage nerves and communicate with greater confidence. ### During the workshop, you'll learn: • What recruiters and hiring managers are really looking for • What happens after you leave the interview room • Common interview mistakes and how to avoid them • How to answer challenging questions with authenticity and clarity • How body language and presence influence first impressions • Simple breathing and grounding techniques to manage interview stress ### Interview Practice Lab You'll also take part in guided mock interview exercises in pairs and small groups, giving you the chance to practice, observe, receive feedback, and learn from others. ### Who is this for? • Professionals preparing for upcoming interviews • Job seekers returning to the market after a break • Career changers • International professionals navigating the German or international job market • Anyone who wants to feel more prepared and confident during interviews ### What to bring Bring a recent job description you're interested in or preparing for. This will help make the practice more relevant to your situation. ### About the facilitator Martyna Chelinska is an Emotional Intelligence & Life Transformation Coach, former international recruiter, and workshop facilitator. Over her career, she has interviewed and hired thousands of candidates across different countries and industries, trained hiring managers on recruitment and interviewing, and supported professionals through career transitions, personal challenges, and periods of change.

Transit Astrology: Patterns in the Nature of Time
Mon, Aug 17, 4:30 PMTransits speak to the unfolding of our lives over time — our growth, challenges, thresholds, and transformations. Moving at different speeds across the zodiac and forming ever-shifting relationships with our birth charts, they remind us that our story is dynamic, evolving, and never entirely still. How do different planets express themselves as they transit through the signs and aspect our natal placements? What can planetary cycles teach us about timing, initiation, culmination, and integration? And how might major transits — Saturn returns, Pluto passages, Jupiter cycles — reflect important chapters of transformation in our lives? In this gathering, we'll explore the symbolism of transits as astrology's map of unfolding time, the expression of transiting planets through the twelve zodiac signs, and the meaning of major planetary cycles. Whether you want to understand your current transits more deeply or become more familiar with how planetary movements shape our experiences, this is a space for reflection, learning, and shared inquiry. Together we'll: * Explore transit symbolism and its connection to timing, growth, challenge, transformation, and life chapters. * Look at how different transiting planets — from Mercury to Pluto — express themselves through each zodiac sign. * Learn about planetary cycles and the meanings of major transits such as Saturn returns, Uranus oppositions, and Pluto passages. * Discuss outer planet transits and their significance within astrology. * Reflect on how current transits may be activating our birth charts and personal experiences. * Share insights in a welcoming, curious, and supportive group. This meetup is a space for curiosity, reflection, and meaningful conversation — whether you're deeply into astrology or just beginning to explore it. Bring your birth chart and, if possible, charts from friends and/or partners to explore the many ways transits express themselves. 🪐✨ **Guidelines**: – Start: 18:30 sharp (arrive earlier if you like) – Please stay on the topic of astrology – Respect, warmth, and honesty are essential – Kindly RSVP in advance, as we need to confirm with the venue -Please pay for your beverages or food as you order them. PS: We'll be in the terrace of the 2nd floor bar of Motel One. If you can't find us there, go straight to the Terrasse on the 9th floor. Warm regards, Maca, Sara, Tay, and Eric *We collect a 5€ cash contribution on site to support the platform costs.*
