### **Families Through Time: Past Stories, Present Lives, Future Families** Families are central to human life. They shape identity, belonging, values, and everyday experience. Across history, family forms have changed in response to economic conditions, cultural traditions, social norms, and political structures. At the same time, families deeply influence individuals’ emotional worlds, relationships, and life opportunities. This session explores how family structures have evolved over time, how they function in contemporary society, and how they may transform in the future. We will examine both structural changes and personal experiences, connecting historical developments with present realities and future possibilities. In this session, we will focus on the following topics: * **Historical family forms**: nuclear, extended, and multigenerational households and how they shaped daily life * **Changing roles across generations**: shifts in parenting, gender roles, and family responsibilities * **Social and cultural influences**: how norms, religion, and legal systems define and regulate family structures * **Contemporary family diversity**: single-parent, blended, LGBTQ+, and chosen families * **The future of families**: how technology, work patterns, migration, and social change may transform family life This will be an open and reflective conversation grounded in historical understanding, social analysis, and personal perspectives. Together, we will explore how families shape our past and present—and how we can imagine supportive and inclusive family forms for the future. **Event Details** ️ **Date:** Saturday, 28 February 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 14:00 **Location:** Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin **WhatsApp (for prep materials and directions):** [Group Chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H) ⚠️ Note: This is a WhatsApp group link.

A gentle group experience to calm the nervous system, reconnect to the body, and restore presence. No prior experience required. Many of us carry stress, overwhelm, or disconnection in the body — especially after a busy year. This session offers a grounded, calming group experience that supports nervous system regulation, embodied presence, and felt ease — held in a small group of up to 8 people. This is about coming back into your body with safety and comfort, not performance or intensity. A gentle space to slow down, release stress, and reconnect with yourself. No experience needed — simply show up as you are. Each session combines grounding, breath, somatic awareness, and subtle energetic work, supporting a deeper sense of calm and inner presence. What you may experience ✔ grounding and centering ✔ nervous system relaxation ✔ somatic awareness ✔ gentle energetic support ✔ emotional release ✔ deep rest ✔ connection with your inner space ✨ This is for you if… – you feel stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed – you feel disconnected from your body – you are in a period of transition – you are curious about energy work (in a gentle, grounded way) – you want to relax and reset What happens during the session We begin with grounding and breath, followed by guided awareness and a gentle group energetic transmission. You mostly rest, breathe, and notice — there is nothing you need to do or achieve. Benefits people often report – calmer mind – emotional relief – improved body awareness – clarity or insight – feeling lighter – deeper rest or sleep Location Osmos Studio – Neukölln Okerstraße 38, Berlin Tickets Standard: 25 € Beginners welcome No prior experience required.
