'The tears of things' chapter 6 discussion book club
Officially register for location details here! https://luma.com/lc0ibzp5
Hey friends! đ
âWeâre diving into The Tears of Things by Richard Rohr, and youâre invited to join the conversation. Each month, we read one chapter and gather to explore what resonates â from compassion and anger to hope and how we make meaning in messy times.
âThis month, weâre talking about Chapter 6! Totally fine if you missed previous book club chapters, it's easy to join in the conversation.
âCome as you are â curious, questioning, or quietly taking it in. Let us know if you're in! (So we can get enough snacks! âșïž)
â
âBook overview:
âIn his first major work since The Universal Christ, one of our most prominent spiritual voices offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for living today, grounded in the timeless words of the Hebrew prophets.
âHow do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel over an unfair world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, showing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a path forward today.
âThe prophets' writings echo the spectrum of human development. Beneath their initial fervor and their powerful words, there lies a profound lamentation about our shared human condition and the pain of the world. Yet, in their astute critiques of culture and institutions, and their movement from anger and lament to wholeness and hope, the prophets embody what Rohr calls holy disorderâ a distinct approach to confronting malevolence and recognizing the wholeness of every living being.
âDrawing on a century of Biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared millions to Rohr, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom and paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a wholehearted way of living in a hurting world.
âAbout the author, Richard Rohr:
âFranciscan friar and ecumenical teacher, Father Richard Rohr bears witness to the deep wisdom of Christian mysticism and traditions of action and contemplation. Founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation, Father Richard teaches how Godâs grace guides us to our birthright as beings made of Divine Love. He is the author of numerous books, including The Universal Christ, The Wisdom Pattern, Just This, and Falling Upward.

**Menschen mit guten Freunden leben lĂ€nger, glĂŒcklicher und gesĂŒnder. AuĂerdem machen gute Freundinnen einfach SpaĂ.**
.
Deshalb biete ich Freundschaftsworkshop an.
.
Manche sagen: "Es ist schwierig, in Berlin gute Freundinnen zu finden." Berlin, die Stadt der 1000 Möglichkeiten ... ich kenne das auch.
.
\*\* Dann machen wir einen Workshop!\*\*
1. Maximal 40 Frauen.
2. Eine leichte Moderation fĂŒhrt durch den Abend
3. Ihr lernt Euch kennen und habt SpaĂ.
4. Wer mag, trifft sich wieder.
.
Du wirst ĂŒberrascht sein, wie vertraut Du mit vielen nach 3 Stunden sein wirst - so, als ob Ihr Euch schon lange kennt.
.
\*\* 4 Jahre Arbeit - 1 Workshop\*\*
Vier Jahre habe ich geforscht und ausprobiert, wie Menschen Freunde werden & was die Magie der Freundschaft ausmacht. Das Ergebnis ist dieser Abend.
.
Praxisnahe, schnell umsetzbare Tipps, die Du schnell in den Alltag umsetzen kannst. Kleine Happen zur Theorie. - Und vor allem: Kennenlernen & SpaĂ haben. Wir probieren einfach miteinander aus.
.
Eine Teilnehmerin sagte mal zu mir:
* "Georg, das ist so eine angenehme AtmosphÀre. Danke, dass Du das machst."
.
Was soll ich sagen? Stimmt. Das ist mein Anliegen .
.
.
\*\* Diese Methoden kannst Du in Deinen Alltag mitnehmen.\*\*
Ab sofort kannst Du Menschen besser und persönlicher kennenlernen â und damit tiefe Verbindungen und bessere Freundschaften aufbauen.
.
.
**â° Die TĂŒren sind offen ab 18:45 Uhr.**
* Deinen Mantel aufhÀngen, WC, eine Runde schwatzen und los geht's...
.
**â Darf ich wiederkommen?**
Es gibt nur wenige Veranstaltungen, bei denen man wirklich miteinander ins GesprÀch kommt. Hier schon, mit Tiefgang.
.
Einige kommen immer wieder, um die Details des gut gestrickten Programms zu ergrĂŒnden - und immer wieder neue Menschen kennenzulernen oder auf bekannte Gesichter zu treffen.
.
Bis es endlich Klick macht und die richtigen Freundinnen gefunden sind.
.
.
\*\* Was bringst Du mit?\*\*
* Etwas zu trinken (z.B. deine Wasserflasche, keinen Alkohol!)
* Du solltest satt sein und vorher gegessen haben
* Bargeld fĂŒr den Eintritt (10-20 Euro) [oder[ Ticket von Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/nur-fur-frauen-neue-freundinnen-in-berlin-workshop-tickets-1982769849996)]
.
\*\* Der Veranstaltungsraum\*\*
* Wir haben einen wunderschönen Raum im Prenzlberg - im Life Artist Hub
* Gut mit Ăffis zu erreichen: Schönhauser Allee (Ringbahn, U2, M1), Eberswalder StraĂe (U2, M10, M12)
* Vor Ort ist alles ausgeschildert.
.
**Vorsichtshalber hier die Wegbeschreibung:**
* Du gehst in den Hof bis nach hinten durch. Dort ist eine TĂŒr.
* Du klingest bei "Life Artist Hub". Die TĂŒr sollte sofort summen. Ăffne die TĂŒr.
* Du gehst in den 3. Stock. Da sind wir.
.
**ââïž Warum moderierst Du als Mann diesen Workshop?**
.
Hi, ich bin Georg. Ich weiĂ, ich bin ein Mann. Warum moderiere ich dann diesen Workshop?
.
Abenteuer Freundschaft ist mein Beruf. Am Anfang war ich auf MĂ€nner-Freundschaften spezialisiert. Ăberraschenderweise waren 60 Prozent der Newsletter-EmpfĂ€ngerinnen Frauen. Frauen scheinen die Wichtigkeit guter Freundschaften viel mehr zu spĂŒren.
.
Deshalb habe ich letztes Jahr angefangen, Workshops fĂŒr Frauen anzubieten. Soziale TrĂ€ger, das Rathaus Schöneberg und das Frauenzentrum Begine haben mich bereits fĂŒr Freundinnen-Workshops gebucht. Im Frauenzentrum moderiert eine Bekannte die Workshops.... denn da darf ich noch nicht mal rein :).
.
Unseren Workshop werde ich zurĂŒckhaltend moderieren. Ich weiĂ mit der Situation umzugehen. Das ist Euer Raum.
.
FĂŒr die MĂ€nner gibt es alle zwei Wochen am Dienstag einen MĂ€nner-Workshop, der regelmĂ€Ăig gut besucht ist.
.

.
"Ich war nervös, ob ich wirklich kommen soll. Was sind da fĂŒr Leute? Mit wem verstehe ich mich? Nach einer Stunde war mir klar: Gute Freundinnen sind gleich. Ich muss mich nicht mit jedem verstehen. Und allein fĂŒr die Methoden hat es sich gelohnt. Dankeschön!"

Berlin Awareness, Courage & Love Meetup
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 ĂŒben. Die Idee zu dieser Initiative stammt von Mavis Tsai, PhD, der MitbegrĂŒnderin einer relativ neuen psychotherapeutische Richtung namens Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). In den ACL-Meetups sollen diejenigen FAP-GrundsĂ€tze, die sich in der Psychotherapie als besonders wirkungsvoll herausgestellt haben - nĂ€mlich die offene und warmherzige, authentische Begegnung - mit möglichst vielen Menschen geteilt werden, seien es Partner, Verwandte, Freunde, Klienten, Nachbarn oder sogar gĂ€nzlich 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 NÀhe zuteilwerden lassen möchtet. Ihr könnt jederzeit von der Möglichkeit Gebrauch machen, euch mit GÀsten anzumelden.
Bitte seid pĂŒnktlich. Wir schlieĂen den Raum spĂ€testens um 16:05 Uhr, um einen sicheren Rahmen zu gewĂ€hrleisten. Wenn ihr es nicht pĂŒnklich schafft, seid ihr gern bei einem unserer nĂ€chsten Treffen willkommen.
Zum Hintergrund der ACL-Meetups:
In den Meetups ĂŒben wir, mit unseren verletzlichen Seiten in Kontakt zu treten, uns anderen Menschen gegenĂŒber authentisch zu zeigen, und NĂ€he in zwischenmenschlichen Begegnungen zu schaffen. Um NĂ€he und Verbundenheit mit anderen Menschen erleben zu können, braucht es:
Bewusstheit (Awareness) der eigenen BedĂŒrfnisse, WĂŒnsche, Ăngste, Vermeidungstendenzen und UnzulĂ€nglichkeiten,
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 LĂ€ndern auf 5 Kontinenten mit weltweit ĂŒber 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.
Mindful Brunch for Like-Minded People
At [House of small wonders](https://share.google/xgOtkc4SBSNdq1OL7) weâre gathering seekers and believers who resonate with the Law of Attraction, the teachings of Abraham-Hicks, Joe Dispenza, and the idea that we consciously create our own reality.âš Over coffee and good food, weâll share experiences, insights, and practical ways to manifest our desires in daily life.
Whether youâre new to these ideas but deeply interested in this topic and want to start practicing, or youâre already a seasoned practitioner, this is a relaxed, supportive space to connect with like-minded people. Letâs inspire each other and co-create joy, abundance, and purposeful living together! âđ„
â ïžâ ïžâ ïž**Please note:** After 2 no-shows or cancellations less than 24 hours before the event, you will be removed from the group and will not be able to participate in future events.

Authentic Relating & Circling with Sophie and Marco
**Authentic Relating & Circling with Sophie and Marco**
Come and connect and learn the powerful practices of Authentic Relating and Circling. We normally do about a half-hour of Authentic Relating in paired-shares, followed by Circling in up to two breakouts, usually rejoining the large group at the end. However the program will change according to the experience of the participants at each event.
If you are not familiar with Authentic Relating & Circling, you can read Marco's book on the [Circling Guide](https://circlingguide.com) website. All events are beginner-friendly and no prior experience is necessary. If all goes well, you will feel that this is what you have been doing your whole life, and all you ever wanted was to be with people who share this way of being!

**\*\*Agreements & Terms of Service (Please read)\*\***
**Authentic Relating and Circling is not therapy**. People encounter states, emotions, beliefs, and sensations in themselves and others which can be difficult. We explore the unknown, the volatile, the ambiguous, as well as welcome emotions many deem as ânegativeâ or âinappropriateâ such as feelings of inadequacy, anger, sexuality, and joy.
We refer to the willingness to feel difficult and uncomfortable truths as the âcommitment to connection,â which of course includes a willingness to set appropriate boundaries, and speak a desire for space, distance, and non-contact. By attending our events you take responsibility for your level of participation, which might include choosing to leave.
If all this sounds potentially overwhelming or destabilizing for you, if you have mental illness or significant emotional challenges that you feel may be exacerbated by this type of transformational environment, or if you are not sure that you can be self-directed in taking care of your needs during the event, then we advise you not to attend.
We look forward to seeing you!

A Changed Mind, Columbus, Ohio
Always an overachiever, David Bayer didn't settle for being Number Two in just about anything. Whether a runaway entrepreneurial success as a teenager, the leading online director for Ducati with over $70 million in sales, or as an early mid-life crisis overachiever with at least three wildly self-destructive behavioral addictions, whatever David did, he did it wholeheartedly.
Not surprisingly then, when it came to facing his failures and determining his next course of action, David sought health and healing with the same full-strength effort he had previously used to bring about his own ruination. Seeking to learn from the best of the best, David's pursuit of tangible, practical, actual change from the mind and emotions, outward, brought a new passion--that of encouraging others to learn from his mistakes and to be able to strive after and achieve healing and success in their own lives.
We are reading *A Changed Mind*, by David Bayer, and can't wait to enjoy the group discussion on **Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 6:30 pm**, at **True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center**. Come join us!

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it?
How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went?
Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you arenât aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence?
Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, youâll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
