Deep Conversation on Fear - Between Armor and the ultimate Game of Hide and Seek

It’s been two months of summer break since our last meeting, and I can't wait to see all of us. Let us continue our streak of deep conversation in the Existential Explorations series.

This time, our theme is Fear — The armors we wear and the game of hide and seek we play with life :)

The fear we’ll explore here is not the overwhelming jolt of seeing a snake on a forest trek — the kind that throws us into fight, flight, or freeze — but the subtler kind, woven into our every breath.

The fear that is rarely loud but quietly shapes the way we speak, the choices we make, the truths we avoid. We call it sometimes as “strength,” “independence,” “control,” “composure”, "comfort" — but sometimes, it’s just armor between us and what we long for.

We put it on to feel safe, to be seen in the “right” way, to keep the world at just the right distance. But what do these armors protect us from — and what do they keep us from experiencing?

When did we first learn that we had to be strong, self-sufficient and untouchable? What would happen if we let the armor soften, even for a moment?

In this conversation, we’ll explore the subtle disguises of fear — and the possibility of meeting it with curiosity.

As always, this will be a small, intimate gathering—a chance to stare into the abyss together one more time and create a space for real conversation and acceptance.

📍 Meeting Point: Entrance of Göta Arkhuset, Medborgarplatsen 25 (same as last time). Its 2 minute walk from Medborgarplatsen t-bana.

⏳ The building is closed on weekends, but I have access. I’ll be waiting outside the building to receive you — please arrive at least 10 minutes early. Doors will close at 13:40 sharp.

☕ We’ll have coffee, tea, fruits, Doritos, and some chocolate in the space. No need to bring anything.

Looking forward to another raw and enlightening discussion. See you soon. 🙏
