These trainings are the space for the feelings that fall by the wayside in your everyday life \u2014 because they relate to the bigger picture, not your private circle. I call them world-feelings (Weltgef\u00fchle)<\/em>, because they concern social change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you no longer want to merely “endure” this change, but instead want to be part of it with your full, wild aliveness, you’re in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can only go numb to all feelings at once, never to just one. If you numb yourself to your anger, you also shut off the tap for your joy, your conscious fear, and your sadness as powerful resources for your life. Numbness covers all four feelings \u2014 and leaves you “putting up with” life. But that also costs you a great deal of clarity and aliveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your world-feelings and emotions are only an obstacle for as long as you try to ignore them. The moment you take radical responsibility for your feelings and emotions, they become the energy and information that move you to heal and to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WELTGEF\u00dcHLE – A RESEARCH SPACE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How do you stay centered when the world is in upheaval? How do you keep your center amid sensationalism, bad news, and disinformation? That’s the research question for this space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somewhere between outrage and shock, between activism and powerlessness, your real, adult feelings are waiting for you. And with them, something to stand for. Something you have energy for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WELTGEF\u00dcHLE research space takes place on the first Tuesday of every month. Together we explore what you’re currently feeling about political topics \u2014 and what’s in that feeling that you can use. For yourself. And for democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A research space for your feelings. With people who bring similar questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
