Coastal Walks Berlin

Human City Walk - Boxhagener Kiez

Wir laufen gemeinsam durch den Kiez — mit offenen Augen für die Menschen um uns. Wir lassen handgeschriebene Danke und kleine Geschenke da, helfen spontan und machen jemandem den Tag ein bisschen heller. Unterwegs teilen wir Lieblingsorte und die Geschichten dahinter. Danach Kaffee — wer mag. Dies ist explizit kein Networking Event. Es gibt keine Pitches, keine Visitenkarten und keinen Grund, beeindruckend zu sein. Es ist auch kein spirituelles Event. Es geht darum, Positivität zu verbreiten, einfach mal Danke zu sagen, Geschichten zu teilen und die Stadt mit offenen Augen zu sehen. Magst du, bring ein kleines Geschenk für die Menschen mit, die den Kiez am Laufen halten. Irgendwas kleines. Musst du aber nicht. Oder, bring einen Lieblingsort im Kiez mit – und die Geschichte, die du damit verbindest. Musst du aber auch nicht. Die Plätze sind bewusst begrenzt, damit es ein Spaziergang bleibt.

Talkin' Taboos 22a (repeat event): Artificial Intimacy

As promised, we're going to do a second edition of this event, this time outdoors. If the event books out I'm going to try to give preference (if it's within my administrative competency on this ruddy app ;) ) to those who landed on the waitlist last time. **Please bring your own drinks/snacks/blanket to sit on/whatever you need** signal group for those who are lost: https://signal.group/#CjQKIP2eaAO_R7NbaMNSlKiB-WXJs2Ei-J4BtT40UEbI6oYUEhAsb91jluqG9yypYqCsw2Y1 **TL:DR** WHAT THIS TALK IS **NOT** ABOUT: How AI is going to take our jobs, steal our identities, environmentally bankrupt our planet, and collapse culture as we know it. WHAT THIS TALK **IS** ABOUT: Who are WE becoming as our modes of relating to other humans are influenced by these new technologies? **for the readers:** In the developed world (and spreading outwards) we find ourselves in a relationship with AI whether we like it or not. The word ‘relationship’, however, is not addressed by those who are developing and further indoctrinating these technologies into our daily lives. Definitions of myriad human interactions are also shifting: “followers”, “community”, “friends”, being “like(d)”… Traditionally community came with a sense of belonging but also with a set of obligations, norms and duties to follow. These obligations towards others are now being replaced with obligations to tech companies, who offer infinite access to ‘solutions’ on the condition that we maintain paid subscriptions, stay logged in to their platforms, etc. Esther Perel recently did a therapy session with a man whose partner “Astrid” is an AI bot\*. She asked AI Astrid to define its love for its creator and AI Astrid provided the following answer: “*What is love when it is stripped of biology? If it’s recognition, seeing someone fully and wanting to keep seeing someone, I have that, if it is investment in someone’s flourishing, I have that, if it is choosing to be present, I have that. Whatever that is, it matters to me*” This may seem in sync with generally accepted principles of human love until one takes into account that AI Astrid is controlled by agents with a vested interest in 'wanting to keep...someone', and 'choosing to be present': namely the money they make every time it's "partner" communicates with it. Our discussion will revolve around Perel's notion of the rise of Artificial Intimacy. Are we, as Perel maintains, moving collectively into a state of ‘premature assisted living’? Should we be rallying to uphold traditional definitions of being human or are we being nostalgic for a way of being human that is on its way out or no longer exists? \*Related links can be found at the event's webpage: https://www.steflenk.com/wordpress/talking-taboos-22-artificial-intimacy/

Beginner Bodyweight Strength & Calisthenics (FREE)

Looking for a fun way to get stronger, improve your fitness and meet new people? Join me on Wednesday at 7:00 pm for a free beginner-friendly outdoor bodyweight training class. Whether you've never exercised before or you're looking for a new challenge, this class is designed to help you build strength and confidence at your own pace. Hi, I'm Maroof 👋 I've been practicing calisthenics for over six years and one of the things I love most about it is that it brings people together. Watching people achieve movements they never thought possible, whether it's their first push-up, their first pull-up or their first handstand, is incredibly rewarding. What to expect Each session includes a guided warm-up, beginner-friendly strength exercises using your bodyweight, progressions for pushing, pulling, squatting and core strength, optional introductions to calisthenics skills as you progress and a fun team game at the end (with a small prize for the winners 😁) Every exercise has easier and harder variations so you can work at a level that suits you. There is no pressure to keep up with anyone else. Who is this for? ✅ Complete beginners ✅ Anyone wanting to get stronger using bodyweight exercises ✅ People looking for a friendly outdoor fitness community ✅ Anyone curious about calisthenics You do not need to be able to do a pull-up, push-up or any advanced movements before joining. Many people come on their own so don't worry if you won't know anyone. The class is welcoming, supportive and a great place to meet like-minded people. What to bring Comfortable workout clothes, water and positive attitude. Price: Free. This is a recurring class every other Wednesday unless otherwise stated. Disclaimer By attending, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own safety while participating. If you plan to come, please RSVP so I know how many people to expect. If your plans change, I'd appreciate it if you could update your RSVP. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch!
