For quicker orientation in this newsletter (links for jumping 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, we hope you enjoy this e-mail!
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Telegram channel for news and interesting things
There we post information about changes, overviews of current events, and a bit of this and that.
|
Everything to do with the nervous system, regulation, trauma (prevention) and, above all, human contact.We will keep it simple, there will not be several posts from us every day.
|
|
All longer-term information will of course continue to appear here in the newsletter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Current event calendar
|
For now, there is only an English workshop description available on my website.
|
I will add an English translation to "Authentic Relating Games" and "Brainfood" soon, since we will always be offering those in German and English, if necessary bilingually with instructions in both languages.
|
Balanced Yoga is not available in English for now, but should be largely comprehensible by just looking at the poses.
|
|
While the workshop series exists in an English version, there is not yet another instance planned, with only Part 2 being this Friday, the 22nd of November.
|
|
If you are interested in the series in English, please tell us and we will write you on a notification list to be informed immediately when one is planned :)

You can also use this link to the latest newsletter, where all current events are described in a few words (in German except for a description of the English workshop). For the sake of brevity, we have refrained from doing so here.

3. Open House at Aquariana
Aquariana will once again open its doors to interested visitors on Saturday, January 11th, 2025, from 2pm-7pm.
|
In addition to a wide range of workshops and therapy demonstrations by other facilitators, Rhia will be offering her Balanced Yin Yoga at 18:10 (6:10pm).
|
She will take you on a deep, 45-minute relaxation journey into "doing nothing" and letting go.
|
Previous experience of yoga is not necessary.
|
We are also going to be in the rooms of Aquariana most of the day and will be happy to answer questions about our courses and other offers.
|
|
You can find more (German) information here:

|
|
4. Changes starting January 2025
|
Unfortunately, the "Authentic Relating Games" and "Brainfood" courses did not get off to a good start and we have to make some changes due to room costs. (See also the next point)
|
Conveniently, there is someone who would like to book the same room twice a month at this time (Tuesdays, 19:30-21:30) in the Aquariana, starting January, and we were happy to give them these times.
|
As a result, we will only be organising one evening of "Authentic Relating Games" and one evening of "Brainfood" per month, starting January. For details, please see the event calendar
|
If a larger group of regular participants is found during this time, there may be weekly courses again at some point :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. We are asking for support
We are currently a little shaky, financially, and could use support in the form of distribution, reviews, ideas and, of course, donations.
|
After what felt like a resounding success of the first workshops, with which we were in the black right from the start, some confidence grew.
Somewhat daringly, we decided to commit to renting the room for "Authentic Relating" and "Brainfood" on a weekly basis for six months - in return for a small discount ;)
|
Unfortunately, it is apparently much more difficult to draw attention to these courses, in addition to other factors such as the rather unfavourable timing. At the same time, the first workshop (the English one) had slightly too few participants - an unfavourable double burden...
|
To cut a long story short: things are difficult financially and we need to find solutions in order to continue on our path.
|
Therefore we would like to ask you for your support, if you have a few minutes :)
|
- 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 :)
- Donations: Of course, we are also happy to receive small donations to help us cover the costs of the room and maintain our socially orientated prices.
If you would like to support us in this way, we are very grateful for any amount you want to send via PayPal to info@ben-gerull.de (or using this link: paypal.me/BenGerull). If you choose "For friends and family" we will receive the full amount :)
Of course I can also send you my account details or address on request :)
- 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 tips on how to realise, such as daycare centres with management that could be open for courses, etc. :)
We will continue to explore our options and will let you know in the next newsletter how things have developed and whether we we will be making any more changes to the course schedule :)
|
|
We 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 :)
|
- Open evenings with little to no moderation
- Workshop series "Navigation & Regulation" becomes a three part series!
- Workshops for educational institutions + daycare centres
- Workshops in companies
- Videos and online courses
|
|
|
1. Open evenings with little to no moderation
We have the great desire to bring people together.
|
That's why we want to give you (and ourselves) the opportunity and space to exchange ideas, network and be together.
|
We are planning a monthly meeting with a relaxed evening structure and an openness to what may develop from it.
|
The exact location of these meetings is not yet fixed, we are thankful for suggestions :)
|
|
If this offer appeals to you and you would like to take part, please let us know. <3>
|
|
|
|
2. Workshop series "Navigation & Regulation" becomes a three part series!
In the course of the workshop sessions, we have repeatedly noticed and also received the feedback that workshop Part 2 is very packed with information.
|
We are therefore planning to split Part 2 into two parts in the long term.
|
In one part, we will deal exclusively with shock trauma and, above all, developmental trauma according to NARM, as well as examine possible healing methods.
|
In the other, now third part, we will focus on interpersonal dynamics, potential conflict resolution and co-regulation.
|
We hope to give these important topics even more of the space they deserve and to have more time for practice, experimentation and dialogue.
|
|
This change will take place by the next (as yet unplanned) workshop block at the latest, i.e. probably towards May '25.
|
|
However, we may tackle this earlier and realise the new workshops in February and March already. We will announce this by the end of the year at the latest.
|
|
|
|
3. Workshops for educational institutions + daycare centres
Our long-term orientation, which led to the creation of the workshop series, is prevention work to reduce the development of trauma (both shock and developmental trauma), or at least to draw attention to signs that can be used to seek therapeutic support earlier.
|
In order to achieve the greatest possible impact, we would like to offer an adapted version of the workshops in daycare centres, schools and youth facilities on a long-term basis. Primarily for staff, but also for children if there is demand.
|
|
We are currently not yet actively endeavouring to find suitable positions - but if anyone has a specific recommendation, we would be delighted to hear it from you 😊
|
|
|
|
4. Workshops in companies
A lot of stress can also quickly arise at work - which is then taken home and passed on.
|
|
In our experience, knowledge about the nervous system and stress states, as well as practical regulation exercises, can work wonders, and that is precisely why we would like to share our treasure with employees and, of course, managers.
|
Here, too, our endeavours are still in their infancy and we look forward to receiving recommendations and perhaps even enquiries.
|
The workshop as it is won't need much adaptation to be used for this purpose.
|
|
|
|
5. Videos und Online-Kurse
There's no question that a lot takes place online these days.
|
We think that's a bit of a pity, as we like being in a room with people and this allows everything to be experiencable in a very tangible way.
|
But even in the first few months, we received several enquiries as to whether we would also like to do an online version of the workshop.
|
Together with our great desire to spread this important topic as widely as possible, this has convinced us to develop videos and online courses in addition to the live workshops, which will be available for download or similar.
|
|
To this end, we will upload free videos with regulation techniques and knowledge bites on a YouTube channel and on the other hand offer didactically prepared training courses (possibly with an e-workshop platform).
|
We could also use some good tips here! If you know of an intuitive programme that can be used to offer such courses, please let us know!
|
|
We are also still largely lacking equipment, especially lighting. Tips are also welcome here :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
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,
