In 1582, a calendar reform brought about a new calendar. Until then, the Julian calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BC, had been used. Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian calendar, which is the most widely used calendar in the world today. In the 16th century, the Julian calendar lagged behind the 4th century by 10 days and so Easter could no longer be calculated correctly. With the introduction of the leap year, an improvement was made in the Gregorian calendar. What about you? Do you live strictly according to a calendar or can you divide your time freely? Do you use a paper calendar or do you prefer a digital one? A calendar allows us to structure ourselves and plan better - but sometimes we also tend to get too small and overplan. As is often the case, balance is important to not miss out on life's many beautiful little things - to have time for a coffee in the sun, to watch a butterfly fly, to listen to a child's laughter, to enjoy a touch, to get creative, to immerse yourself in issues that are important to you.#calaios #kunst #kultur #wissenschaft #natur #online #online event #vortrag #führung #guide #tour #onlinetour #talk #workshop #digital #digitalculture #culture

🤫 🍩 Relaxation 🧘🏻 🧘🏼‍♀️

🪻 🌼 🌻 The language of flowers 🌷 🌹 🌸 Do you like giving flowers as a gift? Do you like receiving flowers as a gift? Flowers with their many bright colours and shapes enrich our surroundings, can brighten up concrete deserts with colourful splashes of colour and bring great joy. No matter whether they are planted on balconies, as houseplants or in small, large gardens. Flowers are also repeatedly used as motifs in art. In the work of the American artist Georgia O'Keeffe they play a role among other motifs, but above all flowers and blossoms are known from Dutch still lifes, where they often take up almost the entire picture space. But even if some blossoms seem to be thrown carelessly or chosen at random, there is a sophisticated system of meanings behind the blossoms. Each flower is attributed a meaning, but its interpretation can also be very different. Do you also want to speak through flowers? We are all familiar with the red rose as a symbol of love. The white lily as a symbol of purity and innocence is also known from medieval paintings of the Virgin Mary. With a mistletoe you can show that you will overcome all obstacles, while the narcissus can stand for envy, selfishness and jealousy. With a white carnation you can show that you are still available, but it can also mean talent. The sunflower indicates wealth, the peppermint can be used to ask for forgiveness, the forget-me-not says it all, the lily of the valley brings back happiness and the dog rose promises poetry...

☕️ Encounters Every day we meet others

☕️ EncountersEvery day we meet other people - privately, professionally, on the street. Some encounters are unpleasant and have to be pushed through, and you breathe a sigh of relief when the appointment is over. But most encounters are enrichments for our lives. Some people we meet and the brief encounter inspires us, some people we meet again and again and friendships and trust develop. For introverts, encounters with large crowds can be exhausting and they need peace and quiet afterwards, while extraverts draw energy from encounters and really get going. No matter which type you belong to, encounters are important for us as social beings. Whether they are short or long, intense or fleeting, for a coffee and a game night, analogue or digital.At Calaios, people meet in the events who are in completely different places and come together with completely different backgrounds - but they are all united by curiosity about art, culture, nature and science. And already they have a common basis. Some come only once, some attend the performances of their favourite guide, others follow the diverse themes. How nice that we meet here on Calaios! Nice to have you with us.#calaios #art #culture #science #nature #online #online event #lecture #guide #tour #online tour #talk #workshop #digital #digitalculture #culture
