Crowdsourcing

**Please note that we invite people through different channels, so there are more attendees than you can see here :)** The Discussion Experiment is a project in which we are exploring methods to have more meaningful, insightful discussions. And sometimes the best way to understand each other is to complain together (and have fun with it). For exactly that reason, we are having another live music complaint party: This event will be our stage to let it all out and rant about everything that’s currently shitty, sad, frustrating, annoying, infuriating, maddening, disheartening, inconvenient, fucked up, and/or insufferable. And: We will have three musicians who will underscore our ranting and whining! The amazing Emanuele, Eric, and Rochelle will be co-hosting this event and will improvise on the keyboard, bass, and drums for us. We’ll take turns complaining about everything — from the tiniest personal inconveniences to the never-ending global polycrisis. You can actively participate or just listen. You can bring a list of complaints or improvise on the spot. We might touch on all kinds of painful topics, but we’ll probably laugh a lot while doing it. (Please note that openness and dark humor are welcome, but discriminatory humor is not.) Find out more in the FAQ below, or [send us an email](mailto:info@diskussions-experiment.de) if you have any questions! *Oil painting by Antoine-Louis Barye, Large Lion (Walters Art Museum). Photo and editing by Igor.* +++++++++ **FAQ** ***What can I expect from the event? + Trigger warning*** Each event is a an experiment so it’s difficult to predict exactly how it will play out or feel. This specific event is intended to provide an opportunity to vent, but at the same time, we want to try to keep it fun and humorous. Please note that individual participants may also bring up very personal and difficult topics. Please be cautious if you have trouble with dark humor or if there are topics that make you uncomfortable when they’re being talked or joked about. ***Who is this event for?*** This event is for anyone who likes this idea and is curious about the event. If you are considering complaining, your complaints do not need to be “original” or “special.” Anything that bothers you is good enough! ***Do I have to actively participate, or can I just listen?*** It’s perfectly fine to just listen. You can decide for yourself at any time how active you want to be and will not be asked to speak. However, there might be breakout groups, i.e. short segments in which all participants talk in groups of 2-3 people. You do not have to participate in these; you can use the time for a break instead. ***What’s the duration of the event?*** Each event lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours. Feel free to stay a bit longer to finish the snacks, chat with other participants, and complain more. ***Is the venue wheelchair accessible?*** The venue is on the ground floor and accessible with wheelchairs. However, there are unfortunately no wheelchair-accessible bathrooms! ***What is "The Discussion Experiment"*** The Discussion Experiment is an ongoing series of events through which we continuously test methods that foster more meaningful and inspiring group conversations. Among other things, we experiment with techniques that slow down discussions, improve clarity, and support participants in expressing their ideas more effectively.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.
