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: Emotional Intimacy

We believe that real intimacy begins with presence. Not in words, but in the quiet space between them. Not in action, but in attention. Intimacy is born in the quiet courage to be fully present - with another, and with yourself.
This evening invites you to explore how intimacy is cultivated - through being seen, being heard, and being appreciated without having to earn it.
As usual you will experience a safe space to connect, to explore and to remember what it feels like to be truly met. Through guided practices of presence, slowing down, witnessing, and shared reflection, we will create a container where intimacy arises - not from effort, but from attention.

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.

Join us on Tuesday, 26th August 2025, 7–9 pm (please come to land up to 15 minutes earlier, as we start at the full hour) at Café Maggie, Frankfurter Allee 205, 10365 Berlin.

Price
The event is donation based. Cash or PayPal only, no registration needed. Suggested donation: 8-20 €. No one will be turned away due to the lack of funds.

What to bring?
Nothing but you. You have everything you need to take part in this experience of human connection.

Everyone is welcome to join. Even if you are only on the waitlist here on Meet-Up, please come and join us - we will have a spot for you.
No previous experience with Authentic Relating Practices needed.

Spread the word. Bring a friend - all are welcome. We look forward to seeing you there.

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.
