**It's the cinderella of the wine world.** Long regarded as cheap, sugary plonks, German white wines have gone through such a transformation that even the most sceptical wine critics are singing praises about them (again). The Winzersekt is even regarded as 'the wine world's best-kept secret'. With 13 wine regions of diverse climates and over 30 commercially significant white grapes, Germany is nowadays renowned for its top quality white wines from the venerated Riesling to other native and international varieties. Bring a bottle of German white wine (sparkling or still, dry to sweet) be it single varietal or blends, classical or unconventional, to our next blind tasting and we'll have fun tasting and identifying them. Learn about the two contradicting quality classifications and the latest trends in German wine making. Last but not least, what is a German Cremant anyway?! Together, we taste, analyse, discuss, and attempt to identify what’s in the glass. No expertise is required - Curiosity is enough. Light snacks will be provided to complement the wines. **💶 Contribution** **€25 donation per person (plus your bottle contribution)** **A 72-hour cancellation policy applies.** **Who Should Join?** This evening is open to everyone — from curious enthusiasts to experienced wine lovers. Whether you are beginning your journey into German whites or deepening your understanding, you are welcome. The atmosphere will be relaxed, convivial, and focused on discovery. **📩 How to Join** **To secure your place:** 1️⃣ Sign up via the MeetUp waiting list 2️⃣ Transfer the €25 donation to: [ck.brand@alice-dsl.net](mailto:ck.brand@alice-dsl.net) 3️⃣ Your place will be confirmed upon receipt of payment ***(NOT BEFORE)*** **Come ready to taste, guess, and experience each wine one glass at a time - places are limited to ensure an intimate and engaging tasting experience.**

Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen. (Das Buch hat 422 Seiten, die sich lohnen).** . **Das Buch ist leicht & angenehm geschrieben.** . +++++++++++++++++ **🌻 Mehr zum Inhalt** Manchmal funktionieren Freundschaften nicht, weil man * sich nicht öffnen kann, * zu schüchtern ist, * andere Menschen nicht an sich heran lässt * klammert * zu viel will * wegrennt * nicht die richtigen Menschen trifft * schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht hat * oder oder oder ... . ... alte Themen aus der Kindheit holen einen ein. . Ebenso stehen Glaubenssätze wie "ich bin nicht gut genug", "ich bin nicht liebenswert", "Ich bin unfähig", "Ich muss mich beweisen", .... und dergleichen guten Freundschaften im Weg. . Nicht nur Freundschaften, sondern das ganze Leben, Partnerschaften und Erfolg im Beruf scheinen von diesem alten Mist durchsetzt. Bei dem einen mehr, bei der anderen weniger. . Zurzeit lese ich das Buch: **"Befreiung von Scham und Schuld"** von Laurance Heller und Angelika Doerne. . In diesem Buch geht es genau darum: Wie prägen schlechte Kindheitserlebnisse und die Beziehung zu unseren Eltern unsere heutigen Beziehungen - nicht nur Freundschaften, auch Partnerschaften und Beziehungen im Beruf. . Zur allgemeinen Erleichterung: Nicht nur schlechte Gefühle prägen uns, sondern auch die vielen guten Gefühle 🦋🌞🌻🤗. . Dass Du diese Zeilen lesen kannst, heißt, dass sehr viel Gutes in Deinem Leben passiert ist. Juchu! . Ich finde dieses Buch sehr gut. Es geht den Prägungen der Kindheit zielgerichtet auf den Grund. Gleichzeitig ist es leicht und locker geschrieben. . **Der Stoff ist intensiv. Deshalb gibt es diesen Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten.** Vielleicht ist das Buch auf für Dich interessant? **Dann komm gern dazu!** . Wir treffen uns alle 4 Wochen. Wir unterhalten uns darüber, was wir in dem Buch gelesen haben - und wenn Du willst, welche Bedeutung es für Dein Leben hat. . Dabei können wir so offen sein, wie wir möchten. Nichts muss, nur kann. Wir sprechen auch darüber, wie Du einige dieser Prägungen auflösen kannst. . **Um an dem Treffen teilzunehmen, solltest Du mindestens bis Seite 106 gelesen haben!** Einige der 8 Fallbeispiele am Anfang kannst Du für das erste Treffen überspringen, lies jedoch mindestens mal 2 Fallbeispiele, um ein Gefühl zu bekommen.

"Der Austausch hat mir geholfen, meine Gedanken zum Buch in richtig gute Bahnen zu bringen. Das hatte Tiefe. Über sowas miteinander zu sprechen, hilft mir richtig viel, um mich und andere zu verstehen." . "Jede meiner Empfindungen, Körperreaktionen, Gefühle und Gedanken ist ja nur davon geprägt, wie ich aufgewachsen bin. Das habe ich mit dem Buch verstanden. Danke, dass Du den Raum bietest, dass wir uns darüber unterhalten können." . "Ein Buch mit einer solchen Tragweite lese lieber mit anderen zusammen. Außerdem bleibe ich dann wirklich dran." **+++++🔷 Hintergrund** **👱🏽‍♂️ Zu mir: Ich bin Georg Preller.** Seit 4 Jahren betreibe ich die Seite [www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de](www.abenteuer-freundschaft.de).
