Our plans for the rest of 2025...
|
|
|
|
We have been dealing with exhaustion and other physical overload symptoms for some time now. For this reason, we have decided not to start anything new this year - or if we do, then only with plenty of rest...
|
However, existing and familiar things will continue:
|
- We have planned four new rounds of our three-part workshop journey "Navigation & Regulation". An Online round will be started soon, too.
For now, there are no English rounds planned, as we have not yet received enough requests for them.
- For our Authentic Relating Games, we are looking for suitable locations where we can organise weekend evenings.
|
|
|
|
|
These are the topics covered in this e-mail:
- Four more rounds of our workshop journey
- Longer duration: 5:30am-10:00pm
- "Transition -" / Early-Bird-Prices until May 31st
- Current round: Part II: May 16th / Part III: June 6th
- Next Round: July 18th / August 1st / August 8th
- 2 more rounds until December 2025
- More info regarding the Online Workshop journey
- More info about the format, especially on how practical exercises will work
- Venue search for "Authentic Relating Games" evenings
- Current calendar of events until December 25
- Balanced Yoga with Rhia
- Workshop journey in three stages: "Navigieren und Regulieren"
- Support
- We are still grateful for support in the form of sharing, reviews and tips.
- Longer-term plans + orientation
- Other versions of the workshop journey, e.g. especially for parents, also shorter and/or with earlier times
|
For quicker orientation in this newsletter (links for jump are unfortunately not realisable), I have placed a double red dividing line between each of the 6 points in the list of topics, as you can hopefully see below.
|
Now, have fun and enjoy this e-mail!
|

1. Four more rounds of our workshop journey
Important info for English readers:
This whole section is regarding the German workshop journey. If you are interested in an English version of the workshop, please register here for the waiting list: https://ben-gerull.de/kurse/navigation-regulation/
(A banner will appear on the right side or bottom, prompting you to enter your e-mail address. Please remember to confirm your registration through the link in your confirmation mail, or we can't legally contact you through that list.)
|
Longer duration:
5:30pm-10:00pm (4.5h)
Every now and then we got stressed during a workshop because our schedule didn't work out.
As we would like to give our participants enough space for discussion and questions, we have decided to officially extend the course time by half an hour - without adding more elements to the workshop.
|
|
For this reason, it is possible that the workshop may sometimes end slightly earlier - but at least we are all prepared for it to go on until 10:00 pm ;)
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Transition -" / Early-Bird-Prices
until June 15th
As longer course times also mean higher room costs, we will be increasing our prices slightly.
|
However, you have the option of paying the old price for all dates this year until 15th of June.
|
|
The new prices will then apply starting June 16th.

An overview of our workshop journey:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this workshop journey you will get to know your nervous system and its reactions and states in a playful way.
|
|
The links in the following short descriptions lead to the German descriptions of each part, as we have not yet managed to implement the changes in the English version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is stress? - What does it do to the nervous system? - How can I recognise stress at an early stage?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What happens if feelings of being overwelmed remain unresolved? - Why do some situations keep repeating themselves? - What do we need in order to develop healthily?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How can we support each other? - What do we need for a relaxed, nurturing connection? - How can we create a safe space for open self-expression?
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. More information on the online workshop journey
|
|
|
I would already like to provide some information about the format of the online workshops here:
|
- The online workshop will take place on the platform "Zoom". (Zoom's Homepage)
- Each part of the workshop will probably last around 3.5 hours including 2 x 15-minute breaks.
The online version will be less expensive, exact prices and times will be determined before the date survey.
- A few exercises are omitted, as these would require a shared space, others are slightly reshaped.
- It is ideal if participants have a practice partner with them in front the screen. We are happy if this person also wants to participate fully in the workshop. Otherwise, we are thankful to receive a donation for the partial participation.
Of course you can also take part in larger groups, but we recommend an even number of participants if possible.
- If you don't have a practice partner with you in the room, you will either be connected to another person or to Ben during the practice times, depending on whether we are an even number of people or not :)
- As with the live workshop, each (paying) participant will receive a handout and the PowerPoint presentation by email.
- As an option, you can also receive the handouts by physical mail for a cost contribution of €10. (this contribution may differ for addresses abroad)
You can still register for our online waiting list (and feel free to ask around...).
An appointment survey will probably come within the next 3-6 weeks :)
|
To register for the list you can
|
Important! It is necessary that you confirm your registration via a link in your mails so that we can legally send you mails in this list!
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Venue search for "Authentic Relating Games" evenings
|
|
|
We would like to offer Authentic Relating Games again soon.
However, as we would like to have different times than before, especially events at the weekend, the Aquariana is possibly no longer as suitable for this.
|
So we are looking for a nice, cosy place that can also be booked by the hour at the weekend and that is in the price range of the Aquariana (anything over 30€/h would no longer really be an option, as we also want to keep the evenings as affordable as possible for the participants)
|
If you have a great recommendation, please write to us! You can also simply reply to this email :)
|
Evenings of 3-4 hours are then planned, in which not only our programme of games has room, but also deeper processes can be possible, or a game can sometimes go on longer than planned.
|
|
Times and duration are not yet set in stone. We would be happy to receive feedback on what would be a good time for you! We will be happy to take this into account.

5. Support
We can still very much use support in the form of sharing, reviews and helpful tips and advice.
|
- Sharing, spreading, distributing flyers: Every little bit helps - we will be happy to send you flyers if you have a good place to display them.
You are also very welcome to invite others to the Telegram Channel or to recommend the newsletter :)
If you want to follow Rhia on Instagram, you can find her here: @balancedyoga_rhia
You can find us on Facebook at "Ben Gerull - Ganzheitliche Begleitung" and "Balanced Yoga mit Rhia".
You are very welcome to share everything <3
- Reviews and ratings: If you have been to one of our events, or have received therapeutic support from Ben, we would be delighted to receive a short review, or simply a Rating on Google. Or you can send it to us by email and let us know how we can use your review :)
- Try it out: Of course, we also welcome curious people who would like to try out one or two of our offers :)
Almost all courses and Ben's therapy sessions can be tried out at a lower price ;)
- Tips and recommendations for us: Please also have a look at the next point. We have some long-term plans for which we could use recommendations to realise, such as NGOs for Refugees or ideas für venues etc. :)
-
Of course, we are still happy to receive small donations to help us cover the room costs and maintain our socially orientated prices.
|
If you would like to support us in this way, we are grateful for any amount. You are welcome to donate via PayPal to info@ben-gerull.de (or via link: paypal.me/BenGerull). If you choose "For friends and family" we will receive the full amount :)
I can also send you my account details or address on request :)
|
We will continue to explore our options and will let you know in the next newsletter how things have developed and whether we need to make any changes to the course programme :)
|
Thank you for your support of any kind <3
|
|
|
|
6. Longer-term plans + orientation
Here we want to give you a small preview of what new ideas we have in store for the coming months :)
|
- Other versions of the workshop trip, e.g. especially for parents, also shorter and/or with earlier times
The following projects are not yet current due to their scope and we have already included them in the "Autumn's Newsletter" (Items 1-3) or "The Journey continues" (Items 4-5). Have a look there if you want to read the details.
|
- Workshops for educational institutions + daycare centres
- Workshops in companies
- Videos and online courses
- Open evenings with little to no moderation
- Events for refugees/immigrants (and allies)
|
|
|
> Other versions of the workshop journey, e.g. especially for parents, also shorter and/or with earlier times
|
From time to time we receive requests for workshops at other times.
|
Evening times are often difficult to organise, especially for parents with small children, we can well understand that :)
|
A 4.5-hour workshop can also be too much for people with physical limitations, which is why we are also considering other forms.
|
|
However, as described at the beginning of this email, we are currently focussing on recovery and development, which is why these plans will probably not be put into practice until the beginning of 2026.
|
Still, we might already start planning the content and organisation this year and will hopefully have more details to report by autumn :)
|
|
If you are interested in other times and/or forms of our workshop journey, please send us a short e-mail and we will try to include your wishes in the planning. (No guarantees of course - but we try)
|
|
|
|
Thank you very much for reading this newsletter :)
|
We are very much looking forward to seeing some of you at one of our events again soon!
|
Best wishes and see you soon,
|
