We are moved by the events that are currently taking place in the world - politically, socially and ecologically. Seeing in how many places outdated patterns are at work motivates us all the more to continue our work.
We want to bring more understanding, compassion and, above all, basic knowledge about the human nature into this world.
|
That is why we will continue to explore with you this year how an accepting and trauma-sensitive coexistence can succeed and how it can be integrated into everyday life....
|
|
....stable, regulated and anchored within ourselves, well prepared for everything that awaits us this year.

|
For quicker orientation in this newsletter (links to 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 exploring this newsletter!
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Our workshop journey now has three stages!
So far, Part 2 had been very packed, as we tried to cover two major topics in it. As a result, "trauma" and "co-regulation" have never been given the space they actually deserve....
|
Now it feels more rounded: With our new Part 3, we dedicate an entire workshop to "co-regulation", while Part 2 remains focussed on "trauma" and related topics.
|
An English version is not yet planned, but have a look at the next item in this newsletter - there you can register for our waiting list :)
|
|
Now, brief descriptions and links to the (German) three parts will follow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this workshop journey you will get to know your nervous system and its reactions and states in a playful way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is stress? - What does it do to the nervous system? - How can I notice becoming overwhelmed at an early stage?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What if I can't resolve being overwhelmed? - Why do some situations keep repeating themselves? - What do we need 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. English workshop journey (Waiting list)
|
We currently have no english events planned. However, they will take place and you can influence when this should happen!
|
|
|
|
First register for our waiting list (and feel free to ask around...). As soon as we have enough interested people (at least 4 participants, but we would prefer 6 or more), we will create a date survey (only we will see your answer and your name).
|
To add your name to the list you can
|
Note that the Website version in English is still not reflecting the change to three parts.
We might not get around to changing that before an English event grows closer.
|
|
Also note that in the German newsletter, in this spot here is instead a call for people waiting for an online version of the workshop. We don't have an extra waiting list for an English Online version, so if that is what you are looking for, feel free to write us an e-mail :)

3. Changes to Authentic Relating and Brainfood
As described in "Autumn's Newsletter", the Tuesday evening courses did not get off to a good start and we had to make a few changes.
|
As a result, we have only been booking two Tuesdays a month since January. Contrary to our previous thinking, we have decided to only offer "Authentic Relating Games" evenings for the time being.
|
"Brainfood" will no longer take place for the time being. If you are interested in being put on a waiting list, please contact Ben.
|
|
Furthermore, we started to dedicate each "Authentic Relating Games" evening to one or two topics. So far we have had the topics "Transitions and new beginnings" (at New Year), "Boundaries and needs" and "Anger and Trust".
|
|
|
|
As requested, we will be repeating "Boundaries and Needs" on 18th of February.
|
|
All our Authentic Relating Games evenings can be held in German and English if necessary, including this one-
|
|
|
|
We are happy to receive requests and suggestions for the last Tuesday date (14th of March). We are also happy to repeat other topics if there are such requests.
|
Starting this March, we will offer Authentic Relating Games less frequently. Instead, it will be at better times (possibly at the weekend or on Friday evenings) and, above all, longer - 3-4 hours, so that not only our programme of games can take place, but also deeper processes and emotional exchanges, or some well resonating games can go longer than planned.

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 :)

|
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
- Events for refugees/immigrants (and allies)
The following projects are not yet current due to their scope and we have already addressed them in "Autumn's Newsletter". Please have a look there if you would like to read the details.
|
- 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 thinking of a recurring event (1x/Month or less frequent) with a relaxed evening structure and an openness to what may develop from it.
|
The exact location and time 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. Events for refugees/immigrants (and allies)
In some social media groups, we have recently read more and more posts and comments from refugees or other foreign nationals who feel increasingly unsafe in Berlin and Germany.
|
This makes us very sad, as we very much welcome diversity and can also imagine what it is like to have to flee your home country because of war and then suddenly experience hostility "in safety".
|
We would like to organise evenings that enable exchange, emotional expression and open communication - preferably with refugees and some of us fellow human beings who are also keen to create an atmosphere of acceptance and welcome.
|
We would also like to offer our workshop in a slightly different form for refugees in the hope of making it a little easier to deal with difficult situations.
|
We will contact refugee aid organisations in good time - if anyone has a specific tip, we would be very grateful for it 😊
We are also happy to plan such an event at another location if something fitting comes up.
|
|
|
|
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,
