Authentische Ehrlichkeit: Tiefe, Verbindung & Verbindlichkeit
**Authentische Ehrlichkeit - Ein Einführungs-Workshop**
**💶 Wertschätzungsbeitrag vor Ort: 10-20 Euro (nach eigenen Möglichkeiten)**
.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
.
Gute Freundschaften leben von Ehrlichkeit & Vertrauen.
.
Gute Freunde kennen sich, wie ihre linke Westentasche: ihr Leben, ihre Gefühle, ihre Wünsche, ihre Einstellungen, ihre guten & ihre schlechten Seiten.
.
Gute Freunde können „Ja“ sagen, wenn es ein „Ja“ ist; und sie können „Nein“ sagen, wenn es ein „Nein“ ist.
.
Gute Freunde können sich sagen, was sie aneinander mögen, und sie können sich sagen, was sie nicht so toll finden.
.
**🙂 Ehrlichkeit als Basis guter Beziehungen**
Ehrlichkeit ist die Basis, damit Nähe und Verbindung entstehen kann.
.
Sich hinter Masken und (unbewussten) Lügen zu verstecken steht dieser Verbindung im Weg.
.
Ich glaube alle Beziehungen im Leben werden vertrauensvoller, wenn man miteinander ehrlich ist: Liebensbeziehungen, Arbeitsbeziehungen, Freundschaften und selbst die Beziehung zur Bedienung im Café.
.
**🍀 Dieser Abend ist eine Einführung in die Ehrlichkeit.**
Du erfährst,
* warum „Lügen“ mehr ist als das bewusste Verdrehen von Fakten.
* wie Du im Leben mehr von dem bekommst, was Du wirklich willst, weil Du Dich auf Ehrlichkeit einlässt.
An diesem Abend werden wir in kleinen Schritten Ehrlichkeit üben, auch in unbequemen Situationen.
.
Du nimmst praktische Ehrlichkeitsübungen mit, die Du sofort im Alltag und in Deinen Freundschaften umsetzen kannst.
**🧡 Zwei Worte über Ehrlichkeit**
Ich habe mich lange versteckt, wollte meine schwachen Seiten, meine Ängste, Gefühle & Unzufriedenheiten nicht zeigen – immer mit der Angst, abgelehnt zu werden.
.
Irgendwann stieß ich auf Radikale Ehrlichkeit und buchte ein Wochenendseminar. Es war so befreiend!
.
Meine Erfahrungen findest Du hier: [https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht](https://abenteuer-freundschaft.de/radikale-ehrlichkeit-erfahrungsbericht)
.
Danach habe ich das 8-Tages-Retreat gemacht, wo es wirklich ans Eingemachte ging.
.
Ich habe festgestellt, dass Ehrlichkeit meine Beziehungen zu anderen Menschen deutlich verbessert.
.
Gleichzeitig fühle ich mich deutlich wohler, weil ich mich nicht mehr verstecke. Ich bekomme meine Probleme gelöst (weil ich darüber spreche) und meine Wünsche erfüllt (weil ich darüber spreche).
.
Dieser Workshop ist mein Einstiegsbeitrag zu mehr Ehrlichkeit in Beziehungen und Freundschaften.
.

Deinen Mantel aufhängen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's...
.
**❓ Darf ich wiederkommen?**
Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins Gespräch kommt. Hier schon, mit Tiefgang.
.
Einige kommen immer wieder, um die kleinen Übungen nochmals im gesicherten Rahmen auszuprobieren oder aus Neugier, wie andere ihre authentische Ehrlichkeit leben.
.
Das Workshopprogramm ist auch jedesmal etwas anderes - je nach Gruppe und zunehmenden Erfahrungen.

New in Berlin: Chasing Summer Early – Social Butterfly Club 🦋
Berlin is slowly slipping into summer again — longer evenings, warmer air and the feeling that staying home might mean missing something. Join us for a Monday night full of conversations, new faces and a little bit of early summer energy before the city gets too busy to notice itself.
✨ Tiny optional challenge:
Bring one small thing that feels like summer in Berlin to you.
A photo, an object, a snack, sunglasses, a book, a strange souvenir — anything with a story behind it.
Orga
The location accepts only card payments. We will be sitting in the first room.

Fakten, Fakes & Emotionen
Der Stammtisch beginnt um 19:00 Uhr der **Vortrag um 19:30**.
**Fakten, Fakes & Emotionen**
Fakten zählen – oder nicht?
In einer Welt der Informationsflut entscheiden immer weniger Argumente, sondern pure Emotionen. Fake News und deren Verbreiter:innen nutzen gezielt unsere Gefühle, um Desinformation viral zu pushen, attackieren mit voller Absicht Demokratie und gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt. Ein exzellentes Negativ-Beispiel erleben wir leider auch in den USA.
Warum glauben Menschen lieber Falschmeldungen als Wissenschaft oder belegbaren Fakten? Warum ist niemand vor Fakes sicher?
Falls wieder einmal die Desinformationswellen erdrückend über uns zusammenbrechen, können professionelle Faktenchecker:innen oft mit Fakten, Methoden und Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe unterstützen - wie zum Beispiel auch die Artikel des rein durch Crowdfunding finanzierten Anti-Fake-News-Blogs Volksverpetzer, der auf allen großen SoMe-Plattformen und mit eigener App präsent ist.
**Marcello V. Orlik:** Als BWL-Dino mit starkem Wirtschafts-Background, hätte sich Marcello V. Orlik auch noch vor 10 Jahren nicht vorstellen können, dass nicht nur Logik, die Klimakatastrophe und wissenschaftliche Fakten mit aller Leidenschaft verteidigt werden müssen. sondern tatsächlich auch eine signifikante Portion Aufklärung, Journalismus und Politik für ihn im Alltag unabdingbar werden - als Relations Manager beim Volksverpetzer.
**Forma**
Das Edutainment-Format "Skeptics in the Pub" kommt ursprünglich aus dem UK und verbindet unterhaltsame wissenschaftliche Vorträge mit Diskussion und Socializing in entspannter Atmosphäre
Seit einigen Jahren gibt es auch im deutschsprachigen Raum regelmäßige Veranstaltungsreihen u.a. in Köln, Wien und jetzt auch in Berlin
Humanity: Dignity, Compassion, and Responsibility
### Humanity: Dignity, Compassion, and Responsibility
Humanity is one of the most basic concepts of human life. It refers not only to being biologically human, but also to a moral ideal: the ability to recognize others as dignified, vulnerable, and morally important beings. To speak about humanity is therefore to speak about compassion, respect, justice, responsibility, and human dignity.
Historically, the meaning of humanity has changed over time. In early civilizations, ideas related to humanity were often connected to divine order, justice, social harmony, and the protection of the weak. In ancient Greek and Roman thought, humanity became linked to reason, virtue, education, law, and civic life. The Roman idea of *humanitas* especially connected humanity with culture, moral refinement, and responsibility toward others.
Religious traditions also shaped the meaning of humanity. Many religions emphasize mercy, compassion, charity, humility, and care for the poor, the weak, and the stranger. In this sense, humanity was understood not only as a personal virtue, but also as a duty toward others and toward a higher moral order.
In modern philosophy and politics, humanity became increasingly connected to universal dignity and human rights. The idea that every person deserves respect and protection, regardless of origin, religion, gender, class, or nationality, became central to modern ethical and political thought. Humanity therefore developed from a limited social or religious duty into a universal moral principle.
However, the history of humanity is also a history of dehumanization. Slavery, colonialism, racism, war, genocide, and social exclusion show how people have often denied humanity to others. Dehumanization happens when human beings are treated as objects, threats, numbers, or tools. For this reason, humanity must also be understood as a critical concept against violence, humiliation, and exclusion.
From a psychological perspective, humanity depends on empathy, compassion, moral judgment, and the ability to understand the suffering of others. From a sociological perspective, humanity is shaped by institutions, laws, education, culture, and social norms. From a biological perspective, it is connected to cooperation, care, attachment, and social bonding. Yet humanity cannot be reduced to biology alone; it also requires moral reflection and social responsibility.
Today, humanity is challenged by war, poverty, migration, racism, technological change, artificial intelligence, and global inequality. Modern societies often reduce people to data, consumers, workers, or political categories. Therefore, the question of humanity remains urgent: how can dignity, compassion, and responsibility be preserved in a world shaped by power, technology, and crisis?
This discussion invites a critical exploration of humanity as a moral, social, political, psychological, religious, and biological reality. Humanity is not only what human beings are; it is also what they owe to one another.

What CBC Stands For
Our Code of Conduct
We live in a time where attention is declining, trust is eroding, and success is often pursued at the expense of integrity.
CBC exists to demonstrate the opposite.
CBC is a space where business and ethics belong together — proving that success is possible without sacrificing humanity or values.
Our Core Principles
Honesty
Reliability
Respect
Tolerance and global-mindedness
Zero discrimination (no racism, sexism, or exclusion of any kind)
Professional conduct and adherence to business standards
Integrity in dealing with contacts and leads
Responsibility toward the community
Openness to new business trends such as Influencing & AI
We are global citizens and commit to living these principles consistently — without moralizing, but with clarity.
Important Rules
The event is for connection and VibXchange.
You may of course introduce yourself and explain what you do.
Religion, politics and sexual topics are not discussed at CBC after-work events.
Inviting members of the CBC network into competing networks is considered unethical and will result in immediate exclusion from the club & the community.
Why We Ask You to Bring the Right People
CBC should grow — with the right energy and the right individuals.
You contribute by inviting people who:
share our values
think entrepreneurially
are open to meaningful exchange
like to have fun
Every recommendation strengthens the community.
Every new person expands our collective potential.
Our Commitment to You
We work day and night to build CBC:
marketing, partnerships, events, standards, branding and structure.
We invest time, resources and reputation because we deeply believe in this concept.
I personally stand behind CBC with my name and 25 years of international experience in the Travel, Yacht, Real Estate and Cybersecurity industries.
My goal is to create an international space where trust, fun, values and business opportunities come together in a warm non suppressed environment.
Join Us
Join us Thursday from 8:30 p.m. for a decisive moment of business exchange — where experiences, ideas and visions are shared.
CBC is one of Berlin’s most unique, elegant and dynamic business & Party societies.
Expect a night of glitz, meaningful conversations and good vibes.
Come dressed to impress and shine with your vision, motivation and hunger for innovation.
Occasionally, international music influences will enrich the atmosphere.

The Minority Report is a weekly stand-up comedy show about identity, culture, and the expat experience.

Every week, comedians Bryan Lee and Moe Singleton take the stage to unpack life as outsiders, offering their unique commentary on topics like race, masculinity, relationships, and life between cultures.
Add weekly special guest comedians and “question time” with the audience, and you’ve got Berlin’s most unhinged comedy experience.
🎟️ Want to warm up before the show?
Check out our comedy workshop – a beginner-friendly stand-up class with Bryan and Moe, hosted just before the show.
