Silent Reading / Creating Club at W66 (Saturday) [Luma to RSVP]
Sat, Oct 3, 8:30 AMRSVP on Luma: https://luma.com/gakcu99i Silent Reading / Creating Club is a gathering for people who enjoy focusing together in public. Bring a book, a notebook, a sketchpad, knitting needles, whatever you’d like to spend a quiet hour doing. All projects and all participants are welcome. We’re building a community of readers and creators who value depth, presence, and shared silence. The reading and creating isn't the real highlight, though, it’s in the people who return and make it feel like a familiar room. (Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist.) Our Meeting Point is the **W66 Café**. There’s no entrance fee, but please order at least one item from the café and don’t bring outside food or drinks 🙂 No assignments, expectations, or pressure. Just a shared hour of intentional silence, followed by the opportunity for good conversation. 🕰 Our Agenda **10:30 – 11:00** Arrivals, ordering drinks/food, light social time **11:00 – 12:00** The Great Quiet Hour (Read. Write. Sketch. Code. Think. Sit.) **12:00 – 12:30** Optional socializing: share what you were reading or creating, or simply continue in quiet focus. ## 🏡 House Guidelines To keep this space calm and welcoming for everyone: • Silence during the focus hour (no calls or conversations) • Put cellphones on silent mode • If using technology, please avoid meetings or audio (headphones please!) • Arrive before 11:00 if possible to minimize disruptions

Sat, Oct 3, 9:00 AM*********** **📸 Architectural Framing: Portray and/or Be Portrayed!** **Ready to turn Berlin’s grandest buildings into your ultimate creative tool?** **Join us for a unique photo event where we explore** **Architectural Framing—using the scale and geometry of the city as an empowering tool in portrait photography. We won’t just shoot against a background; we will integrate human emotion with stone, making the surroundings magnify the subject.** **📍 The Route & Styles:** * **Heinrich-von-Kleist-Park:** **Master the art of** **Neo-Baroque Monumentalism. We will use the crushing scale of the former Supreme Court and the 240-year-old regal** ***Königskolonnaden*** **to create powerful, commanding portraits.** * **Viktoria-Luise-Platz:** **Shift the mood to** **Art Nouveau Elegance. Here, we will play with organic curves, floral stucco, and the geometric lines of the historic hexagonal square for graceful, high-end framing.** **📅 Schedule (03.10.2026):** * **11:00 – 13:30** **\| Location 1: Heinrich\-von\-Kleist\-Park \(Power & Monumentalism\** * **Bring your camera, choose whether you want to** **portray, be portrayed, or both, and let’s co-create.** * **We will rotate roles so there is** **only one active model** **at a time.** * **You'll work in small groups of 3–4 people** * **This format is inspired by our successful TFP (Time for Photos) sessions.** **Check out the reel from our first "Portray and Be Portrayed" event:** **🔗** [View Reel](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEXHaLhKFXc/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) **🎟️ Tickets & RSVP** * **Price:** **Free!
