Facilitation
When we’re invited to facilitate, we become stewards and take the role of moderators, mediators and counsellors. We can offer guidance through conflicts, reflection-processes or moments of change. We can be with you when something starts, grows or comes to an end. This applies to emotional, as well as material and structural processes.
We assist in creating power sensitive spaces which allow to speak openly and become aware of roles and dynamics. We aim to foster conditions in which power, harm and hurt can be named and heard. We try to stay with complexity and meet the pull towards simplification with slowing down and inviting depth. In a world that often teaches us the opposite, collectively learning from failings, making time to practice care, being accountable and tending to difficult feelings rather than suppressing them is a vital practice for us.
We work with groups, collectives, individuals, pairs, relationship constellations, and bigger structures – from one time support to regular meetings. Our focus lies on in person facilitation, but we also offer certain formats online. We are based in Berlin, but travel for our facilitations: currently more regularly to Austria, Switzerland and France.
Group & Relationsship Support
There are no relevant relationships that don’t need care and conscious attention. This is even more true for collective dynamics amongst more people. We all bring our lived experiences, beliefs, protective mechanisms and quite often, we reproduce what we try to overcome, we hurt each other or we create ways of working, living, being together that are shaped by avoidance and feelings of time-scarcity, insecurity or resignation.
We support groups that feel like open or hidden conflicts are impacting the collective mood and something hinders an open dialogue. We are also there to help process things that happened in the past in order to move on.
Or, you just want to come together to give your relationships and dynamics care and attention. Tending to topics and emotions early on before they become overwhelming or difficult to manage is the most sustainable form of honoring the structures we create.

Research
٭ We put our own experiences, ambivalences and desires at the center of our research.
٭ When we explore fields, we often turn to those we are close to, our relationships to us are the most intimate site for structural and political negotiations.
٭ We are interested in examining structures and relations of everyday life, that we all one way or another relate to. No matter if it’s money, grief, or dependencies, when we look through a personal und situated lens and allow for vulnerability we create connection and participate in forms of knowledege production that center feelings and offer us different ways of relating to one another.
Production
٭ We understand production as a political practice and are interested not only in the What, but also very much in the How. Our guiding principles stay the same as we shift into the role of holding space and creating structure for other peoples projects.
٭ We plan and realize projects and events l accompany conceptual, content-related and artistic processes l design organizational structures, workflows and communication channels l handle funding, finances and accounting.
