Self-Reliance

**A down-to-earth men's circle** **for self-care, connection and resilience this Winter** *This month's focus: How does play and fun look in mid-winter?* When nights are long and the sun is scarce, Berlin can feel cold and lonely. *Wolf Huddle* offers a way to balance that out. Each month men gather to practice self-care in supportive community. Through guided group and individual activities, we explore mental wellbeing, nervous-system regulation, and simple strategies to bring calm and connection into the darker months — tactics to keep the oxytocin batteries charged. **What we’ll do** Each session blends conversation, reflection, movement, learning, and optional platonic touch. You’ll be invited to name your own needs, set your own boundaries, support others, and join exercises shaped by the group: From handshakes and supportive contact — perhaps gentle massage or other ways you’d like to be nurtured physically — to self-regulation exercises, journalling, storytelling, and guided visualisations. **What it's for** Wolf Huddle is a chance to explore trust and fraternal bonds, the warmth and strength of relaxed company. We huddle not like a sports team, but in mutual respect and support. Along the way you may learn to feel more at ease saying 'no', release a little loneliness, or make some room for clarity, care, and joy. **What it’s not** Not a cuddle event or casual hangout. It’s a professionally facilitated, trauma-sensitive space where your boundaries are welcome and your sovereignty is central. **Reserve your spot** via [bank transfer](https://zigmal.org/wolf-huddle/), adding *Wolf Huddle + your first name*, and a *contact method* Contribution for BMG members: **35 €** standard **25 €** low income\* If you decide to show up spontaneously on the evening, you're welcome to bring cash - but it is helpful for the planning to know in advance that you'll be coming. ֎ Bring a notebook, pen, and comfortable clothing ֎ The space is shoe-free, so warm socks are welcome. ֎ Cancel up to 24 h ahead for a full refund. *\*Some men have asked what counts as 'low income': You're not expected to provide any kind of proof of being on a low income - it's entirely up to you... if €35 feels like too high a hurdle for you at the moment, then feel free to use the lower option.* **About the facilitator** **Hans** here from the Berlin Men’s Group. I'm a certified systemic trauma counsellor and touch trainer with twelve years of specialising in men's issues. I enjoy bringing depth, creativity and humour to my work. ***Maybe it’s just what you need? Come along and see for yourself.*** *Wolf Huddle is a project by Zigmal e.V. – [zigmal.org](http://zigmal.org/)*

Einmal im Monat veranstalte ich eine NLP-Übungsgruppe. Die Abende finden monatlich statt, jeweils von 19-22 Uhr. Hier üben wir klassische Practitioner- und NLP-verwandte Themen (z.B. "Hypnose", "Timeline", "Submodalitäten",...) um sie besser in den Alltag zu integrieren. Dieses Mal geht es um das Thema **Selbstcoaching.** Im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Veranstaltungen werde ich also nicht direkt eine Coaching-Technik zeigen. Viel mehr sprechen wir darüber, wie man bei einem emotionalen Problem Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe leisten kann - welche Mechanismen und Routinen dabei helfen können, das Problem auch ohne Hilfe selbstständig lösen zu können. Ich gebe eine kurze Erinnerung über die Theorie zum Thema des Abends. Dann mache ich eine kurze Demonstration, um Dir auch praktisch noch ein paar Tricks und Kniffe zu zeigen. Der Rest des Abends ist da zum Üben, Austauschen und Kennenlernen von spannenden Leuten. Wir treffen uns im Café Noir, einem kleinen gemütlichen Café in Kreuzberg. Der Betreiber Kojo ist selbst NLP-Trainer und stellt uns die Räume freundlicherweise zur Verfügung. Tritt ansonsten auch gern der [Telegram-Gruppe](https://t.me/+NfRWPMZ_j2Y4OWYy) um für weitere Veranstaltungen auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben. ​NLP-Vorkenntnisse auf Practitioner-Niveau oder Vorkenntnisse sind hilfreich, aber nicht absolut notwendig. Das heißt, wo, wann und bei wem Du Deine NLP Ausbildung gemacht hast, und wie weit Du *damit* fortgeschritten bist, spielt keine Rolle. Die Hauptsache ist, dass Du gewisse Grundbegriffe und Grundtechniken des NLP kennst und Lust hast, diese mit interessanten Menschen zu üben. PS: Der Abend ist spendenbasiert finanziert. Die meisten geben so etwa 10-15€. Deine Spende kannst du in Bar oder per Paypal entrichten.

Talk & Workshop - **Exploring The Inner Commons** a deep dive into personal sustainability by Scott Bolden, Founder of Baumhaus Berlin Workshop from 18:30 - 20:00 If you really want to make the world a better place then a great place is to start with yourself because no matter where you go or what you do, you can not escape yourself... Besides, doesn't it make sense that a truly sustainable society would be composed of more balanced individuals? **The Inner Commons is an intuitively understandable, flexible and contextual framework** developed by Scott Bolden that can be used to catalyze a process of self understanding and resolving common issues we all deal with. The concepts discussed in this workshop are based on simple, root level, universal experiences of the human condition and a bit of common sense. Because of this, insights that participants gain about themselves can also provide insights to understanding and resolving issues with others as well. Requirements: comfortable clothing, a notebook and an open mind... Please confirm participation with a short email to info@baumhausberlin.de with the subject: Inner Commons Donate-as-you-feel after the workshop (includes coffee, tea, water & snacks) We ask participants to consider: • their personal budget • the value of their experiences during the workshop in the Baumhaus • the value of supporting the Baumhaus so that we can continue facilitating these and various other types of experiences \-\-\-\-\- support Baumhaus crowdfunding campaign ( https://www.goodcrowd.org/saving-das-baumhaus ) Baumhaus Berlin Gerichtstr. 23 VH Eg 13347 Berlin

Wir – Taia und Tatjana – möchten einen Raum öffnen. Einen Raum zum Ankommen, Kennenlernen und ehrlichen Austausch. Über Achtsamkeit im Alltag. Über das echte Leben zwischen Arbeit, Familie und Gedankenkarussell. Und auch über alles andere, was dich gerade bewegt. Was gibt dir Energie? Wo verlierst du dich? Wie bleibst du bei dir? Es wird kein Vortrag. Sondern ein lebendiges Gespräch. Ein Raum auf Augenhöhe. Komm einfach, wie du bist. Taia and Tatjana would love to open a space. A space to arrive, connect and share honestly. About mindfulness in everyday life. About real life between work, family and busy thoughts. And about whatever else is present for you right now. What gives you energy? Where do you lose yourself? How do you stay connected to yourself? No lecture. Just a real conversation.

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.

This is an in-person meeting. Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken? Do you get in the way of your own goals? We will discuss the real source of all this, what holds you back in life, and how to handle it so you can achieve more successful and happier living. Perhaps you get weighed down with negative emotions you can't seem to shrug off. Or find yourself doing strange and irrational things - not really being yourself. We will cover why that is and tools that work to help you unearth your self, your self-confidence and motivation. This meeting will help you learn about how to effectively overcome: -Out-of-control unwanted emotions -Low self-esteem -Anxiety -Negativity -Stress -Irrational fears -Traumatic or painfully emotional incidents -Breakups -Betrayals -Feeling like you're not really yourself -Self-doubt... We will discuss how to unleash the inner you and tap into your true potential. So come to this online meetup! This meeting is sponsored by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
