TAMS # 1 – A Beautiful Day to Reflect on Death

This inaugural episode of Talking Amongst My Selves — a companion series to Conversations Along the Way (see the trailer for it for more information) — takes on a light little topic: death. I reflect on how returning home to Berlin to be with my aging parents and struggling to find work brings up existential fears, with all of the different parts of me (Little Guy, Hothead, Mediator and Observer) having a different take on what is going on.

CATW # 8 – with Hans about Masculinity in an Age of Shifting Gender Norms

Send us a text

A conversation with a new friend named Hans, who has been co-facilitating the Berlin Men's Group for four years, doing self-initiation work with men for over a decade and recently founded Zigmal, a psychosocial support service for men in Berlin. We talk about our personal stories around and understanding of masculinity and men's work, especially in light of more recent social trends and discussions around issue of gender and sex.
Because of threats Hans has received for speaking out on this issue, I am leaving off his last name here in these notes and in the recording.
