Sun, Jul 12, 11:00 AM

From Knee Mobility Training & Coffee

Self-paced group training session focused on improving **knee mobility, strength, and stability** through controlled, intentional movement.

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion

Sun, Jul 19, 1:00 PM

From Chitta Space- Awareness in Experience

4.8

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.**

#37 AI Series: Stanford University - S. Sanborn

Tue, Jul 14, 4:45 PM

From BLISS AI Speaker Series 2026

4.7

We are excited to feature **Sophia Sanborn**, who is currently an Assistant Professor at **Stanford University** and will discuss "**Virtual Neuroscience with Neural Digital Twins**", lasting approximately 45 minutes. After the talk, seize the opportunity to connect with fellow AI enthusiasts to share ideas and questions while enjoying free drinks and pizza. **Door close by 7.15pm, so please come early! Also, "attend"ing (RSVP) here on Meetup is strictly necessary to be guaranteed entry.** Please note that Meetup has recently been quite keen on promoting its Plus program. However, you are not obligated to purchase it, as both our events and the platform remain free. **Who is this event for?** This event is open to everyone interested in state-of-the-art AI research. We especially design it for students, PhD candidates, academic researchers, and industry professionals with a research focus in machine learning. **Abstract**: A central goal of systems neuroscience is to understand how populations of neurons represent and transform the natural world. As neural datasets grow in scale and complexity, manual hypothesis generation and neuron-by-neuron characterization are becoming increasingly limiting. Neural digital twins — deep learning models trained to predict the responses of biological neurons — offer a complementary approach: distilling large-scale recordings into experimentally tractable models that can be queried, perturbed, and analyzed in silico. Using this framework, we characterize neurons in macaque and mouse visual cortex, revealing interpretable feature selectivity and previously hidden properties of the neural code. More broadly, these models enable a paradigm of virtual neuroscience, where learned models of neural systems become platforms for automated scientific discovery: searching stimulus space, mapping selectivity, testing representational hypotheses, and generating new candidate principles of neural computation. By enabling virtual experiments that would be difficult or impossible in vivo, neural digital twins open a path toward a new regime of scalable, computationally driven discovery in neuroscience. **Bio**: Sophia Sanborn is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology, with a courtesy appointment in Neurology, at Stanford University. She is Co-Director of the Enigma Project, a large-scale neuroscience initiative aimed at understanding the neural code, and Co-Founder of Metamorphic, an AI company building neural digital twins and brain-aligned foundation models. Her research sits at the intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and mathematics, leveraging large-scale neural data and computational models to reveal principles of neural coding in biological and artificial systems. We are [BLISS](https://bliss.berlin/) e.V., the **AI** **organization** in Berlin that **connects like-minded individuals** who share great interest and passion for the field of machine learning. This summer 2026, we will, again, host an exciting speaker series on site in Berlin, featuring excellent researchers from cohere, ETH Zürich, University of Oxford, HuggingFace, and Stanford University.

Shark Tank: Fund My Nonsense Product

Mon, Jul 13, 5:00 PM

From Corporate Unprofessionals

4.9

Dear Corporate Unprofessionals! Since the weather will be too hot, we are organizing a different event outside this time. The concept is a SharkTank outside for nonsense products. **How it works** * Everyone in the audience gets fake money at the start. * We hand voluntary presenters a random, nonsense product on the spot. * They get 3 minutes to pitch it like it's a real business. * The crowd gets 3 minutes to ask questions and try to break the pitch. * After each pitch, you invest in the ones you believe in (or find the most ridiculous). * Whoever raises the most fake money wins. **The products** Expect things that make no sense as businesses. That's the point. The fun is watching someone sell it with a straight face and full confidence. **Why come** * **If you pitch**: practice selling something on the spot, thinking fast, and holding your ground under questions. Good rep for actual pitching, without the actual stakes. * **If you invest:** practice thinking like a VC. Ask questions, spot the weak points, decide where your money actually goes. * **Either way:** it's a low-pressure way to get comfortable improvising in front of people. **Want to pitch?** Sign up when you arrive, or during the event. You'll get your product right before you go up, no time to prepare. **Just want to invest?** Show up, grab your money, and start funding. **Where** Monbijou Park in Mitte — outdoors, so bring sunscreen and water. It's summer. The exact location will be shared on the day of the event.
