Rethinking Relationships Game Night
💜 This event will take place at Other Nature and registrations must be made through their website and NOT through MeetUp:
[https://other-nature.de/blogs/events/18-06-26-rethinking-relationships-game-night](https://other-nature.de/blogs/events/18-06-26-rethinking-relationships-game-night)
Join us for an evening of connection, play, and reimagining relationships!
The Relationship Design Game is a card deck that invites you to explore your true desires and rethink conventional relationship norms. The game's creator, Mariana Cerejo, will welcome you and then, in small groups, we'll play the game together.
Through their prompts, the games create space to rethink relationships according to your own needs and desires, and to cultivate communication, honesty, and respect. There will be space for sharing personal experiences, gaining different perspectives, supporting one another, listening, and being listened to with empathy.
This is not a dating event, but an opportunity to reflect, learn, and exchange perspectives on relationships, community, and sexuality.
The evening warmly invites non-monogamous/relationship anarchist people, as well as anyone who is curious about reimagining relationships beyond the scripts and power structures of monogamy, heteronormativity, and patriarchy.
Mariana Cerejo has spent much of my her life asking why relationships have to fit into molds that don’t serve us. As someone who isn’t naturally extroverted or highly communicative, she realized that she needed dynamic and thought-provoking tools to facilitate conversations that could free her from those molds. That’s why she created the Relationship Design Game, the Sexuality Design Game, and the Community Design Game. Mariana is a designer who developed these tools in collaboration with psychologists and people with diverse backgrounds and experiences, with the goal of making them as inclusive as possible.

Emotionales Essen verstehen — Frühstück & Workshop im EWA Frauenzentrum
Emotionales Essen ist kein Zeichen von Schwäche — oft ist es ein Signal. Der Körper reguliert damit Stress, Anspannung oder Erschöpfung. In diesem zweistündigen Frühstücks-Workshop lernen wir verschiedene Hungerarten kennen, verstehen den Einfluss von Stress auf das Nervensystem, erkennen emotionale Auslöser und schauen uns gemeinsam Esskreisläufe an.
Ein Raum zum Verstehen, Reflektieren und Austauschen — ohne Bewertung und ohne Diätansatz. In gemütlicher Atmosphäre bei einem gemeinsamen Frühstück.
Veranstaltet vom EWA Frauenzentrum. Anmeldung bis 24. Juni ausschließlich an [anmeldung@ewa-frauenzentrum.de](mailto:anmeldung@ewa-frauenzentrum.de)

Narrative Identity: Culture, War, and the Search for Meaning
**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.

Back to the Nest - Warm Data Lab and more
Join us for our Celebration with food, fire, and real conversation. A living lab, shared stories, and big questions about Culture and Nature
We'd love to invite you to the first of our **Summer Celebrations**, a new rhythm we're adding to KulturNest life, alongside our end-of-year gathering.
These gatherings have a simple purpose: to connect, to share what we're each working on, and to think together about what we're building. We believe the wisdom in this community belongs to all of us.
**27th June, 12:00 – 16:00 Freienwalder Str. (entrance beside La Pica, Freienwalder Str. 14a, 13055 Berlin)**
**Flow:**
12:00 Come as you are. The afternoon opens with food, fire, and unhurried conversation. Simple pleasure of being in the same place at the same time. Bring your appetite and something for the barbecue.
13:30 Step into the Warm Data Lab. An open invitation to a living lab, where information moves between stories. Come curious. No preparation needed, maybe your story is already there? The lab is hosted by a certified host.
14:40 What is, and might be, KulturNest to you? Short, spontaneous sharing. Then a brief look at our projects and funding, with space for questions.
15:10 Think with us. Rotating conversations. One question at the centre: How might we place Nature at the centre of Culture? Come with a thought, a question, or something you haven't quite figured out yet. The World Café method works best when ideas are still a little unfinished.
15:50 A gentle closing. We'll come together to close the afternoon with a warm invitation to find out more about KulturNest membership, for those who feel drawn to go deeper.
Ask us any questions!
Best

How to Get Over Losses and Betrayls & Build Lasting Relationships
Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships?
Are you 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 held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
