@ No. 52 (w/ ForEveryone) - A cozy book swap and chat meetup!

Fri, Nov 20, 6:00 PM
From For all you book-lovers: Berlin Book Swap (and more)
4.7

We’re happy to collaborate with the non-profit ForEveryone and the No. 52 Cafe for this next book swap! If you’re looking for some workshops or events check them out [here](https://foreveryone.berlin/). The "classical" bookswap is simple: *We meet in a café and put the book(s) we brought down on the tables. - We go around to browse and discuss the books with one another while sipping coffee or hot chocolate, or eating cake. *We write our names down on any books we’d like to take home (post-its and pens provided). - At the end of the evening, negotiate any books that are contended and take a new-to-you book home! Books/happiness shared are books/happiness multiplied! A Bookswap is 10 times better than a Book Club because you can talk about ALL the books instead of just one! This is a great way to give your books a new home and make room for new books: that book you feel guilty for not having read even though it's been sitting on your bedside table for the last 5 years, the book you liked but didn't love, the book you loved so much you want everyone to read it, the book you somehow own three copies of, that book you absolutely hated even though everyone else loves it, and so on. Moreover, you will meet fellow readers, get a new book or two, and several book recommendations. We’ve often had readers experience books they wouldn't normally buy and enjoy it. GROUP EXPECTATIONS for PLEASANT SWAPPING *Please bring a book! It's not that you bring one you take one, but do try your best to bring something. - Books stay on the tables, open for sharing, until you are ready to leave so that everyone can have a look. We are notably not first come first serve. Please wait until you are leaving to bag the book. *If two or more people want the only copy of a book, negotiate. Maybe one of you reads it first and then gives it to the others. Or perhaps they have found another book instead. Or leave it to fate and toss a coin. The best part: now you have found somebody whose taste you can really admire. In any case, please don't walk away with a book with several names on it without letting the others know. These negotiations are fun and easy, so don't shy away from a book because there's already a name on it, and feel free to put your name on as many books as you find interesting. It's not that you bring one you take one; you may take as many as you can negotiate. - Political discussions with consent: make sure the people you are talking to would like to have a political discussion with you. *Please respect this space as first and foremost a community for connecting readers over their love of books and reading, stories, and narratives of all sorts. Please be respectful of tastes and opinions. - If something is bothering you, please reach out to the organizers, and we'll do our best to resolve it. *Lastly, don't expect your book back. It will find a new home. If you love it, let it go. Major LANGUAGES (and genres) of this meetup: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian; Fiction, Non-Fiction, Serious Reading, Light Fun, “classics", Krimis, Booker winners, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Self-Help and more. You never know who can read what languages, and there's no accounting for taste. We are a delightful and international group of readers. We look forward to swapping with you!

After playing, you can join us for socials with drinks and snacks at the bar area. 🍻 🍕 We often play a social deduction game, which you're also welcome to join. 🕵️ We recommend coming 10 minutes early so you have time to change and find the fields. If it is your first time, 15 minutes might be even better. You can join whatever court you like and move between courts during the event. We self-organize, so after a game, you can start a rematch, switch courts, or take a break as you see fit. Upon arrival, join the warm-up happening on one of the courts. Join our WhatsApp community by asking J for an invite after the event. Follow us on Insta at [https://www.instagram.com/berlinvolleyball](https://www.instagram.com/berlinvolleyball) **Rules**: Do not join if you have an infectious disease.

The venue has changing rooms, toilets, a bar selling drinks and food, and hot-water showers for 1 EUR. There are no lockers. **Payment**: You pay in advance via Meetup. Payment via PayPal or Urban Sports Club is not possible. **Refunds**: The venue does not provide refunds. Thus, we cannot refund you either, even if the event is canceled due to bad weather.

In the rare cases that we cancel an event due to poor attendance, everyone gets a full refund. We may take and share photos publicly, such as on Meetup or Instagram. You can opt out by letting the organizer know you don't want to be photographed.

Hike and Reflect

Hike and Reflect

Sat, Nov 28, 9:30 AM
From 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
