Our live winter group returns
Warmth, Support, Imagination:
Come in from the cold!

What's a Wolf Huddle?

The nights are long and sun is scarce. Berlin can get pretty cold and lonely for some of us. We came up with Wolf Huddle in 2025 as an antidote to all that - a way to get through the long Berlin winter with some good company and a few inspiring hours each month. Men get together to relax with some supportive time, enjoy a bit of belonging and share good tips on how to take care of ourselves between the sessions.

In guided group and individual activities, we explore helpful mental practices, work with our nervous systems and learn simple strategies to bring calm and connection into the darker months. We also listen to stories and chill in the good atmosphere we make together.

What we’ll do

The main thing is: We only do what we want to do! The evening is facilitated, but you can join in or hang back for each activity as you like. Each session has a chance to engage in conversation, reflection, movement, learning and optional platonic touch.
You’re welcome to name your own needs, set boundaries and support others. Past evenings have involved things like basic physical contact - exploring how much can be communicated by a simple handshake, even - to breathwork, grounding, journalling, storytelling and guided imaginary journeys.

What it's for

Wolf Huddle is a chance to explore trust and community bonds in a relaxed setting. We're not actually a pack of wolves, after all, but you might be surprised how connecting it can be to imagine we are, for a few hours. The 'huddle' part's because we huddle up - like a group of people do together against the cold, or sometimes as a sports team - to form a spontaneous bond for those few hours we're together.
Along the way you may learn to feel at ease saying 'no', release loneliness or shame, or make room for clarity, care and joy.

What it's not for

Not a cuddle event or casual hangout. You'll be in a professionally facilitated, trauma-sensitive space. Your boundaries are welcome and you decide how you spend your evening.

About the facilitator
