Walk of Shame - We walk and talk about shame

This event is supposed to be a fun way to meet new people whilst walking and talking on the topic of shame, and emotions.

Sometimes it’s easier to tell a stranger something we are ashamed about, instead of someone we know. This is a no-judgment space open to all. I ask you to come with an open mind and heart and a willingness to share of yourself and hold space for other peoples stories.

We’ll meet at the corner of the Lietzensee Park on Sunday 8th February at 10.30am. I'll be standing by the statue / flower bed holding a Swedish flag.

English and German language are both welcome. I host in English.

What to Expect:

Our first walks of shame have been really powerful and I've been honoured to host two hours of connection, vulnerability and creating a space where people feel safe to unshame and come as themselves.

The intention for this event is for you to practice talking about the topics you feel are taboo, get over your shyness, and/or things that happened in your life that you feel ashamed about.

Shame holds a power over you when you don’t speak it and feel it. It stops you from being able to be your true self.

After a short introduction we’ll spend about 1 hour together walking through the Lietzensee Park and weather permitting we’ll also find a nice spot outside to do a circle sharing, or go to a local cafe, for those who would like to join.
I like to close our time together by doing some embodiment practices / reflection exercises / answering any questions, so that you leave with tools you can use in your day to day life.

If you already feel a little embarrassed about the idea of sharing then this is DEFINITELY for you.

I’ve learnt that sharing of those taboo and shameful topics actually makes you realise that you were the only one making them a big thing. When you tell it, people respect and admire that you dared to share or that you overcame something difficult. People think you are brave and resilient. This forms real connection and cuts through the superficial bull-shit we all feel we have to aspire to.

I’ll break the ice by sharing something I feel shame about and then we’ll pair up as we walk. There is no strict agenda, but I instigate a number of partner changes so that you have the opportunity to share individually with at least 3 other guests. With each share I hope that feeling shame in a negative sense might be dispelled and despite being out of your comfort zone, you will feel good for sharing.

What to Bring

Wrap up warm, Perhaps a small blanket to sit on and your morning drink of choice. But really nothing other than yourself.

About the Organiser

Hi I’m Kim! I’m a fun, open and energetic Swede who grew up in England and landed in Berlin 17 years ago. After a 20+ year career in design I realised I could not suppress my calling to work with people on a deeper more spiritual level. I have since retrained as a Transformative Life Coach and Emotional Release facilitator and now work predominantly in this field.

I take a very holistic approach to life and work and hope that my own stories and candidness may inspire others to overcome their limiting ‘stories’ too. Other than my 1:1 work, I love to host talks, am just starting a conversational podcast interviewing men, who share powerful stories of coming out, shame, relationship troubles, addiction, late adhd diagnosis and much more.

I speak at events, host mind-body connection and lifestyle workshops, all with a purpose of helping people connect to themselves on a deeper level.

On a final note, beyond my career change these last years I also left an unhappy marriage after 14 years, reversed my chronic pain and many other niggling health problems through working with my emotions and nervous system, I've understood what it means to feel my feelings, regained my energy and self worth and started to co-parent my 2 kids.

Do feel free to reach out and ask questions.
