Open Talking Circle

Im Vétomat findet ein regelmäßiger Gesprächskreis statt. Es geht darum, Dinge auszusprechen und zuzuhören, ohne dass jemand versucht, Probleme sofort zu lösen. Die Regeln sind streng und simpel. Niemand unterbricht, niemand bewertet und niemand gibt ungefragte Ratschläge. Was im Kreis gesagt wird, bleibt dort. Die Teilnehmerzahl ist begrenzt, um eine intime Atmosphäre zu wahren. Spenden für den Betrieb des Vétomat sind willkommen, die Teilnahme selbst ist kostenfrei.

A talking circle open for all. A place to exhale and set down what you've been carrying. The Open Talking Circle is not meant to solve all our problems, but it is a space where we can be heard, where we can see ourselves reflected in other people's stories and feel connected as we share and process things. Respect is a given, which means: \- no interrupting\, no commenting \- no judging\, no criticizing \- no unsolicited advice \- no debating \- no fixing \- everything \(i\.e\. other people's stories\) stays in the circle The event is free. Donations supporting the running of Vetomat are always greatly appreciated. IMPORTANT! The maximum capacity of the event is 13 people. I have, however, set the attendee limit here to 7 persons so as to leave room for walk-ins and so that last-minute cancelations or no-shows don't affect attendance. Full disclosure: I don't use a smartphone so this solution makes things much easier. This also means that contacting me at the last minute won't be possible. I hope this doesn't cause any inconvenience, and that you understand.
