Men's Circles and Events | Newsletter 13.07. - 03.08.
Men's circles and events in Berlin that foster conscious and positive masculinity.
Dear men,
in the last few weeks, summer started in Berlin. With that, my beer consumption doubled or tripled compared to the winter. There is just something so refreshing about having a beer at the end of a sunny day… I was surprised that I went through a whole case of beer in 2-3 weeks just casually having some beers at home.
Through my conversations with other men, I get the impression that I’m not the only one reflecting on my alcohol consumption from time to time. Are my habits ‘normal’? Is it too much? How much is bad for me?
I don’t really have a good answer for that, but I wanted to run a little experiment and crowdsource some data from you guys. I’ve therefore created this little poll:
Please choose which option fits best for you, including whether you drank alcohol at all and if you are thinking about your alcohol-consumption are worrisome or if you’re cool with it 😎. You’ll be able to see the live data as more people vote. I’m curious about the picture that emerges.

I wanted to mention two more programs that are not exclusively for men, but that might be interesting for the audience of this newsletter:

Deep Work, 6 weeks starting 30th July, in Mitte: Over several weeks, you'll work intensively on topics such as understanding your biography, limiting beliefs, your inner team, strengths-based leadership, and much more. This is a cohort-based program that includes a lot of group and partner work. You can find more information here and register your interest here.
