### **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, 7 March 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.

Dieses Meetup ist Teil einer weltumspannenden Initiative, um Bewusstheit, Mut und Warmherzigkeit (Awareness, Courage and Love) im Umgang mit uns selbst und in der Begegnung mit anderen zu üben. Die Idee zu dieser Initiative stammt von Mavis Tsai, PhD, der Mitbegründerin einer relativ neuen psychotherapeutische Richtung namens Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). In den ACL-Meetups sollen diejenigen FAP-Grundsätze, die sich in der Psychotherapie als besonders wirkungsvoll herausgestellt haben - nämlich die offene und warmherzige, authentische Begegnung - mit möglichst vielen Menschen geteilt werden, seien es Partner, Verwandte, Freunde, Klienten, Nachbarn oder sogar gänzlich Unbekannte. Wir treffen uns wieder vor Ort in Neukölln! Sowohl bekannte Gesichter als auch neue Teilnehmer:innen sind herzlich willkommen! Ladet gerne Menschen ein, denen ihr Nähe zuteilwerden lassen möchtet. Ihr könnt jederzeit von der Möglichkeit Gebrauch machen, euch mit Gästen anzumelden. Bitte seid pünktlich. Wir schließen den Raum spätestens um 16:05 Uhr, um einen sicheren Rahmen zu gewährleisten. Wenn ihr es nicht pünklich schafft, seid ihr gern bei einem unserer nächsten Treffen willkommen. Zum Hintergrund der ACL-Meetups: In den Meetups üben wir, mit unseren verletzlichen Seiten in Kontakt zu treten, uns anderen Menschen gegenüber authentisch zu zeigen, und Nähe in zwischenmenschlichen Begegnungen zu schaffen. Um Nähe und Verbundenheit mit anderen Menschen erleben zu können, braucht es: Bewusstheit (Awareness) der eigenen Bedürfnisse, Wünsche, Ängste, Vermeidungstendenzen und Unzulänglichkeiten, Mut (Courage), sich mit all diesen Teilen unserer selbst zu zeigen und dabei das Risiko einzugehen, sich der Beurteilung und möglichen Ablehnung anderer auszusetzen, und Warmherzigkeit (Love) im Umgang mit uns selbst und anderen, sodass wir unserem Mut und unserer Verletzlichkeit mit Wohlwollen und Mitmenschlichkeit begegnen und uns gegenseitig ermuntern, uns zu öffnen. Inzwischen gibt es Meetups an mehr als 90 Orten in 28 Ländern auf 5 Kontinenten mit weltweit über 10.000 Mitgliedern. Wir (Mathias Funke und Ralf Steinkopff) organisieren die Berliner Gruppe. Es gibt ca. 6-8 Treffen im Jahr, in denen wir die Prinzipien von ACL miteinander erfahren können.

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.
