Psychoanalysis

**Narrative Identity: Culture, War, Memory, and the Search for One’s Own Life** Narrative identity means that human beings understand themselves through stories. A person does not only live from one moment to the next. They try to make sense of their life by asking: Who am I? Where do I come from? What has shaped me? What do my experiences mean? In this way, identity is not only something we have; it is also something we create and understand through a life story. This life story is never completely private. It is shaped by family, language, education, religion, culture, history, social relationships, and collective memory. People need words, symbols, traditions, and examples in order to understand themselves. A culture gives individuals the material from which they can build a meaningful narrative about their own lives. However, this process becomes difficult when cultural transmission is broken. Many societies have experienced war, colonialism, revolution, dictatorship, displacement, exile, migration, or political violence. These historical events do not only destroy cities and institutions. They can also interrupt memories, weaken traditions, divide families, and create silence between generations. As a result, people may inherit fragments of culture without fully understanding them. This problem is not limited to Europe after the World Wars. It can also be seen in many other countries and regions, such as Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Korea, Bosnia, Rwanda, and many others. Each case is different, but they all raise a similar question: How can people form a stable sense of self when the stories, values, and memories that should help them understand their lives have been damaged or divided by history? In such situations, identity can become fragmented. A person may feel caught between different narratives: family memory, national history, religion, political ideology, exile, trauma, and personal experience. Sometimes people are expected to accept an official story about who they are, while their own feelings and memories do not fit into that story. This can create alienation: the feeling that one’s own life is not fully one’s own. Narrative identity is therefore connected to the overcoming of alienation. A person begins to overcome alienation when they can understand their experiences as part of their own life story. Pain, fear, loss, migration, silence, shame, hope, and resistance are not only private emotions. They can become meaningful parts of a narrative when they are expressed, understood, and connected to a wider historical context. Art can play an important role in this process. Literature, music, film, painting, theatre, poetry, and other forms of artistic expression can give shape to experiences that are difficult to explain directly. Art can make hidden memories visible, give voice to trauma, and create a space where personal and collective history can be reinterpreted. Through art, individuals may find new ways to tell their own stories and reconnect with themselves, others, and their culture. This discussion invites a critical exploration of identity as a personal, social, cultural, and historical reality. Narrative identity is not simply about remembering the past. It is about understanding one’s life within history and finding a way to appropriate that life as one’s own. In societies shaped by war, displacement, and cultural rupture, the search for narrative identity becomes a search for meaning, and belonging. *** 📅 Event Details 🗓️ Date: Saturday, 27 Juni 2026 ⏰ Time: 14:00 📍 Location: Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin 📱 WhatsApp: For prep materials and directions (Group Chat) [Group Chat Bio KI](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H)

ABOUT Most men have never been taught what healthy dominance actually is. What they got instead was a model built on control, toughness, and performance. A version of masculinity that looks strong on the outside but does not hold up the moment things get real. This four-hour workshop gives you a clear picture of what grounded, healthy masculine dominance looks like in practice , and the first tools to start building it. You will leave with a better understanding of yourself, your patterns, and how to lead in a way that actually creates trust. The context is BDSM, but the skills are not. Presence, emotional steadiness, holding a boundary, setting an intention without forcing it – these translate directly into how you lead in relationships, at work, and in everyday life. No prior experience required. Just show up willing to be honest. WHAT YOU WILL EXPLORE Ground: inherited vs. longed-for masculinity You will look at the version of masculinity you were handed – by family, culture, and expectation and the version you actually want to embody. What you still perform. What no longer fits. What you want to build instead. This is where the work starts. Understand: what dominance actually is, the uninitiated man, where leadership collapses Dominance is given, not taken. You will learn what that means in practice, and why so many men default to control or performance instead. You will also identify the specific moments where your own leadership breaks down: where you push too hard, go quiet, or lose your footing. Written reflection, honest and private. Embody: breath, The Edge of No, Claim the Space ritual Three short exercises that move the work out of your head and into your body. How to ground yourself before you lead. How to hold a “no” without collapsing or getting defensive. How to claim space with presence rather than posturing. These are the fundamentals that most men have never been taught. Build: archetypes, scene-building essentials, closing circle A first look at different styles of masculine dominance and which one fits you. Then the basics of building a dynamic: how to set an intention, hold an arc, and close well. You leave with a clear starting point, not a script. FOR WHO? For men who are curious about dominance but do not know where to start. For men who have tried to lead in intimate dynamics and found themselves performing rather than connecting. For men who want a clearer, more concrete sense of what healthy masculine dominance looks like and how to practice it. No prior experience with BDSM needed. This is an introduction, and it is designed as one. THE EXPERT: PAUL MEYERS Paul Meyers is the founder of SPNKD and has been facilitating workshops on erotic intimacy, masculine presence, and power dynamics for years. He has worked with hundreds of men and couples across Belgium and Germany, in workshops, retreats, and private coaching. His approach is direct. He is not interested in theory for its own sake. He is interested in what actually changes how you show up, and he builds his workshops around that.

On the **27th June 2026**, **1pm til 5pm** at **Tales Untold** (in the main playroom) in Berlin I will be running a **Transformation Game** that has space for 4 players. The Transformation Game is a great reflective tool, in the format of a board game, to help you self reflect on an issue you may be having. I love this game and would love the opportunity to introduce it to others. Contact me if you wish to take part. Here is a short video I made about it: [Link to video of brief introduction to the Transformation Game.](http://youtu.be/b5lGBOx-G3A) http://youtu.be/b5lGBOx-G3A [Link to videos show casing the game in action (the Transformation Game blended with Internal Family Systems ideas):](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfgNV-9P_D5BSQy8Dduq9yB8cMeNXOURk&si=Mq4qKi4pqt7-z9Cz) [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfgNV-9P_D5BSQy8Dduq9yB8cMeNXOURk&si=Mq4qKi4pqt7-z9Cz ](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfgNV-9P_D5BSQy8Dduq9yB8cMeNXOURk&si=Mq4qKi4pqt7-z9Cz) While I will pay for the room hire, attendees will be required to purchase their own refreshments and snacks at the cafe.

Leben wir in einer Zeit der Beziehungsfreiheit oder der Einsamkeit und Entfremdung? Während die Auswahl scheinbar unendlich scheint, sprechen die Zahlen eine andere Sprache: 56,5 % aller Berliner Haushalte sind Ein-Personen-Haushalte. Etwa die Hälfte aller Rentner lebt allein, oft gegen den eigenen Wunsch nach Bindung. Welchen Einfluss hat das digitale Dating auf Partnerwahl und Familie? Und wie soll man mit modernen Partnerfindung umgehen? Führt es zum Glück, wenn man sich vollständig den Dating-Algorithmen der Agenturen anvertraut? Führt das zu einer Gamifizierung der Liebe? Es gibt Leute, die das Wisch-und-Weg-Dating des Beziehungsmarktes mit einem klassischen Gefangenendilemma vergleichen. Weil jeder insgeheim Angst hat, durch Verbindlichkeit eine noch bessere Option zu verpassen, maximieren alle ihren kurzfristigen Nutzen. Viele enden langfristig in der kollektiven Einsamkeit. Ist der „perfekte Partner“ ein statistischer Mythos, der uns unfähig macht, echte Unvollkommenheit zu lieben? Gibt es eine „Pflicht zur Fairness“ im Dating? Wo verläuft die Grenze zwischen legitimen Vorlieben (Präferenzen) und einer moralisch fragwürdiger Grundhaltung? Die alten Drehbücher des Patriarchats sind glücklicherweise überholt, aber die neuen sind noch nicht geschrieben. Wie verhandeln wir Erwartungen (wer zahlt, wer wirbt, wer bindet sich), wenn traditionelle Rollen wegfallen, aber evolutionäre oder kulturelle Muster tief in uns weiterwirken? Gibt es ein so etwas wie Rezept für Partnerschaft und Familie, das man beherzigen sollte? Sind Patchworkfamilien und Partnerschaften auf Zeit unser unabwendbares Schicksal, wenn wir uns binden? Dieser Abend soll die intimste aller menschlichen Verbindungen durch die Brille von Philosophie, Logik, Ethik, Spieltheorie und Soziologie betrachten. Im Zentrum steht die Frage nach dem angemessenen Umgang mit dem Thema Partnerschaft.

**with Tina & Ricardo – on Tempelhofer Field** (deutscher Text weiter unten) We warmly invite you to a free, open Osho Kundalini Meditation in the open air – right in the heart of Berlin, on Tempelhofer Feld. This invitation is for anyone who feels curious, enjoys movement, music and inner spaciousness, or simply wants to try something new. You don’t need to know anything, achieve anything, or be good at anything. **What to expect** The Osho Kundalini Meditation is an active dance and relaxation meditation, bringing together movement, music and stillness. It creates space to release tension, arrive fully in the body, and gently sink into deep relaxation afterwards. The meditation consists of four phases: 1\. free movement and shaking to loosen the body 2\. dancing with music to allow energy to flow 3\. a quieter\, still phase for sensing and noticing 4\. relaxed lying down to integrate No experience with meditation is needed, and no prior knowledge of Osho or Kundalini is required. There is no “right” or “wrong” way – everything is welcome, nothing is expected. **Our way of guiding the meditation** Tina and I (Ricardo) will guide the meditation in English, with music and clear, welcoming impulses. We follow the structure of the Osho Kundalini Meditation while also leaving space for our own inputs and an open, personal experience. What matters most is your own lived experience – not techniques or concepts. **What you might like to bring** If you wish, feel free to bring something to sit or lie on during the final phase, such as: \- a meditation cushion \- a yoga mat \- a blanket or a cloth \- You are also very welcome to come with nothing at all and simply lie or sit directly on the grass. **Location & registration** The meditation will take place on Tempelhofer Feld, like shown on the marker on the map. It is close to the entrance Oderstrasse, just 300m north west of it. Participation is free and open, and you are welcome to join spontaneously. We would still appreciate a Meetup registration, as it helps us estimate the number of participants. This meditation is also an invitation and a taste of our retreat **“Emotional Detox Through Tantric‑Tao Bodywork”**, but it stands on its own and can be attended independently. We look forward to spending this time together – with movement, music, spaciousness, and the Berlin sky above us. After the meditation, Tina and I will hang around and happily answer any question you have towards our work or tantra and tao in general. here is a link to our next retreat: [Emotional Detox Through Tantric-Tao Bodywork (Englisch) - Rosenwaldhof](https://www.rosenwaldhof.de/event/mal-weeraratne-emotional-detox-31-aug-6-sept-2026/) *** **mit Tina & Ricardo – auf dem Tempelhofer Feld** Wir laden dich herzlich ein zu einer kostenlosen, offenen Osho Kundalini Meditation unter freiem Himmel – mitten in Berlin, auf dem Tempelhofer Feld. Diese Einladung gilt allen, die neugierig sind, Lust auf Bewegung, Musik und innere Weite haben oder einfach mal etwas Neues ausprobieren möchten. Du musst nichts „können“, nichts wissen, nichts leisten. **Was dich erwartet** Die Osho Kundalini Meditation ist eine aktive Tanz‑ und Entspannungsmeditation, bei der Bewegung, Musik und Stille zusammenkommen. Sie gibt Raum, Spannung loszulassen, im Körper anzukommen und danach in eine tiefe Entspannung zu sinken. Die Meditation besteht aus vier Phasen: 1\. freie Bewegung und Schütteln\, um den Körper zu lockern 2\. Tanz zu Musik\, um Energie in Fluss zu bringen 3\. ein stiller Teil zum Nachspüren 4\. entspanntes Liegen zum Integrieren Du brauchst keinerlei Erfahrung mit Meditation und kein Wissen über Osho oder Kundalini. Es gibt kein „richtig“ oder „falsch“ – alles darf sein, nichts muss. **Unsere Art, die Meditation anzuleiten** Tina und ich (Ricardo) begleiten die Meditation mit Musik und klaren, einladenden Impulsen auf englisch. Wir orientieren uns an der Osho Kundalini Meditation, lassen aber auch Raum für unsere eigenen Inputs und eine offene Erfahrung. Im Mittelpunkt steht das eigene Erleben – nicht Technik oder Konzepte. **Was du mitbringen kannst** Wenn du möchtest, bring dir gern etwas mit, worauf du am Ende liegen oder sitzen kannst \- ein Sitzkissen \- eine Yogamatte \- eine Decke oder ein Tuch \- Du kannst aber auch ganz ohne alles kommen und dich direkt ins Gras legen oder setzten. **Ort & Anmeldung** Die Meditation findet auf dem Tempelhofer Feld statt. Der Treffpunkt ist ganz nahe des Eingangs Oderstrasse, etwa 300m nordwestlich von dort. Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos und offen, spontanes Dazukommen ist möglich. Über eine Anmeldung via Meetup freuen wir uns dennoch, damit wir die Anzahl der Teilnehmenden besser einschätzen können. Diese Meditation ist auch eine Einladung und ein Vorgeschmack auf unser Retreat "Emotional Detox Through Tantric-Tao Bodywork", steht aber für sich und ist unabhängig davon. Wir freuen uns auf eine gemeinsame Zeit – mit Bewegung, Musik, Weite und dem Berliner Himmel über uns. Tina und ich werden nach der Meditation noch vor Ort bleiben und beantworten sehr gerne Fragen zu unserer Arbeit oder generell zu Tantra und Tao. Folgend der Link zu unserem nächsten Retreat: [Emotional Detox Through Tantric-Tao Bodywork (Englisch) - Rosenwaldhof](https://www.rosenwaldhof.de/event/mal-weeraratne-emotional-detox-31-aug-6-sept-2026/)

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

We should be easy to spot. (The happy-looking group wearing cool nametags! See photos from our past events.) Sign in, grab a name tag, start your own bar/food tab, meet old friends and make new ones! Everyone is welcome. SEE YOU THERE!

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
