Hike and Reflect

Hi everyone 👋🥾 Our next Hike & Reflect is happening on 28 November 2026! Annabell and I are really looking forward to spending the day hiking, reflecting and connecting with you. 🌿 What is Hike & Reflect? This is not just a nature walk. Annabell and I are both certified systemic coaches, and throughout the hike we’ll bring in reflection questions, conversation prompts and a few simple exercises. The idea is to create space to learn more about yourself, hear different perspectives and connect with other people on a deeper level. We’ll explore topics through conversations in pairs or small groups, practise listening to each other and also have moments of quiet walking and simply enjoying nature. Nothing is mandatory. Everything we offer is an invitation. But the experience works best if you come with some openness, curiosity and willingness to engage. 💬 Come curious You’ll be talking to people you may never have met before, and some conversations may go a little deeper than the usual small talk. Some exercises might feel slightly unusual at first, and that’s completely fine. If you enjoy meeting new people, meaningful conversations, reflection, new perspectives and being outdoors, you’ll probably feel very much at home here. 🤝 🚆 Getting there We will meet at S-Bahn Grunewald station at 10:30. 📍 Meeting point We’ll start with a short check-in and introduction before setting off together. 🥾 The hike We’ll do a circular hike of approximately 12 km, starting and ending at S-Bahn Grunewald station. The pace will be relaxed, but you should be comfortable walking for several hours. Along the way, we’ll mix hiking with conversations, reflection exercises and some quieter sections. 🥪 Break We’ll take a break of around 45 minutes at the Grunewaldturm, where you can buy something to eat or drink and use the restroom. 🎒 What to bring Please bring enough water, some food, comfortable walking shoes and clothing suitable for the weather. Please assess your own fitness level and take care of yourself on the trail. Everyone participates at their own risk. 🏁 Finish We’re aiming to be back at S-Bahn Grunewald station station at around 15:30, where we’ll finish with a short check-out together. See you soon! Charly & Annabell

No-Pressure International Parents Meetup

Let's be honest: as a parent, socializing isn't exactly easy. Making plans is hard. Keeping them is harder. So let's make it simple: the little energy volcanoes can erupt together, while the exhausted ones (we) just chill and chat (or at least try to) The plan is to meet at the Alter Spielplatz von Janosch ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/8HGXYoEsj4GjLFyG9?g_st=ac](https://maps.app.goo.gl/8HGXYoEsj4GjLFyG9?g_st=ac)) and, once it's too cold outside), maybe go to either the Café Kiezkind Berlin ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/PMFqwUK84kRxZPjz8?g_st=ac](https://maps.app.goo.gl/PMFqwUK84kRxZPjz8?g_st=ac)) or Kindercafé Spielzimmer ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/TMKbjia2Bq52xyut9?g_st=ac](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TMKbjia2Bq52xyut9?g_st=ac)) Kids are unpredictable. If you arrive late, leave early, cancel at the last minute, or only manage one conversation before heading home—that's completely normal. But do register if you think you'll likely show up

Christmas in the Forest – Advent at Forstamt Tegel 🌲 Social Butterfly Club 🦋

We'll explore the market together, warm up by the fire and enjoy a little Christmas spirit surrounded by nature.
