Authentic Games Berlin

We are starting into a new round of having some human magic happen :)

What to expect at an Authentic Games Berlin event?
Authentic Relating is embodied communication practice. We search for authenticity – staying true to your needs, feelings and boundaries – while relating to other human beings with their needs, feelings and boundaries.

Theme of the evening: Being present

What does it mean to be present in connection? How to stay in the moment, when the clock in the back of our heads is constantly ticking? Often, we tend to rush into a response, solution, or the next thing. Or we try to run away from feelings, discomfort or awkwardness. But what if in those moments we'd first slow down and bring some attention to body sensations, feelings and thoughts? In this session you will be invited to notice and stay with what's happening inside you without judging it or acting on it. We will practice this awareness to ground ourselves and create a foundation for full body listening – a powerful tool for deeper human connection.

During the session you will be guided through the exercises and interactions. Most of them will be based on talking with another person in a framed way. You can experience the nourishing moment of someone who looks you in the eye for a bit longer than just a nano-second. And fully let this feeling rise up in your body. Sensing into what it feels to be you in the light of another. Pausing and fully embracing the moment of being in connection with another human. Sounds intriguing?

Join us on Monday, 14th of April 2025, 7–9 pm (please come to land up to 15 minutes earlier) at Café Maggie, Frankfurter Allee 205, 10365 Berlin

Accessibility and diversity note
We aim to make our Authentic Games events accessible and diverse. We would like to explicitly welcome everybody, regardless of age, social background, identity, body shape, (dis)abilities etc. We put effort into dismantling biases and systems of oppressions we participate in as well as meeting various access needs. Feel free to contact us at [authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com](mailto:authenticgamesberlin@gmail.com) if you have any concerns or questions in this regard.

Authentic Games events are based on talking and listening to other people in pairs, trios or bigger groups. Depending on the number of participants, this may generate a considerable level of noise in the space.
The event is held in English with possible translation to German or Polish. While playing the game you can talk in a language you choose with your partner(s). Sometimes the games may also involve movement (for example walking). Consensual touch with other participants is allowed but never necessary.

The upcoming event is happening in Café Maggie at Frankfurter Allee 205 – next to U-Bahn Magdalenenstraße. The space is on the ground floor, but there is one small doorstep at the entrance. There is a barrier free toilet inside. Despite the name, you cannot buy drinks in Café Maggie, but we provide water and tea for participants.
