Erlebnisraum: An Experimental Space to Face What Holds You Back
In many therapeutic spaces, we talk about our patterns. We analyse them, understand where they come from, and why we react the way we do. Helpful, but often not enough. The body still remembers the old story.
The Erlebnisraum is a living laboratory for transformation. Instead of only talking, we create situations where your patterns can be seen, felt and experienced differently.
Together with facilitators Veronique & Robert, participants step into consciously designed scenes: emotional laboratories where you can explore your edges in a safe, guided and experimental setting. These scenes are not performances. They are real experiences, co-created and held by the group, grounded in consent, awareness and care.
How You Can Join
come with a specific topic that you wish to explore
come with your partner to work on a shared dynamic
or come as a witness, to learn from the field and step in if and when it feels right
Examples of themes that can be explored include relationship dynamics, jealousy, shame, rejection, difficulty with boundaries, fear of expression or any other life topic that feels alive for you in this moment.
How It Works
We begin together in a circle, a shared field of presence and attention.
Someone who feels ready steps into the centre, shares what’s alive for them and expresses which kind of scenario might help them to move through their challenge.
If no clear idea is there yet, we design the scene together, slowly and intuitively.
The scenario is refined with the support of the hosts and everything is set into place.
People in the circle may become part of the scene or simply remain as witnesses.
We move carefully and attuned into the process, allowing patterns, emotions, and impulses to be met with awareness, appreciation and respect for each person’s pace.
As things unfold, something may begin to shift: you might feel tender, released, empowered or simply more connected to yourself.
Witnesses are never passive: what you observe might resonate and stir something in you, activating your own inner process. You will also be held and supported in that.
Erlebnisraum is deeply therapeutic, wildly experimental and surprisingly joyful. It’s where deep psychological insight meets raw, human aliveness. Where imagination meets safety. Where the things you’ve only dreamed about can finally be experienced. Consciously, fully and in your own power.
Because only through new experiences can the old ones truly change.
Key Elements
The Erlebnisraum is a scene-based, experiential group space. You can expect:
Consciously designed situations
We co-create clear, agreed-upon scenes based on the real themes of the participants in a trauma-informed way and in line with our holistic approach.Group-held field
Sometimes you’re in the centre of the scene, sometimes you witness and hold space for others. Both are powerful.Experimental mindset
Nothing has to be “perfect”. We try, adjust, rewind, replay. You are invited to explore, not to perform.Embodied learning
You don’t just talk about your patterns, you feel them in real time and discover what else becomes possible.Integrity & consent as the frame
Every experiment is held in clear agreements, emotional safety and respect for your nervous system.Artistry
We treat human experience like art: raw material that can be shaped, re-framed and met with presence and creativity.
Nothing changes until you experience something new. Are you ready?
Difficulty Level
🟠 Intermediate to 🔴 Intense
You don’t need previous experience with group work, but you do need:
basic emotional awareness
willingness to feel
openness to being seen in a group
This space can be stretching. Some scenes may take you beyond your usual comfort zone. There is always the option to pause, slow down or step out. You are never pushed, only invited.
Practical Details
What to wear? Comfortable clothes you can move and sit in. No costumes needed: authenticity is enough.
Who is this for? Everyone who wants to work deeply and experientially, is welcome: singles, couples, individuals of all genders.
Consent & boundaries
All practices are invitations, never obligations.
You can say no at any moment, ask for a pause, or adapt a scene.
We take emotional and physical safety seriously. Your pace matters more than “doing the exercise right”.
What You’ll Take Home
New reference experiences in your body that show: “It can be different.”
More choice in situations where you usually go into freeze, defence or collapse.
Clearer boundaries and more honest communication – because you practiced them in real time.
A deeper trust in yourself, your signals and your emotions.
Relief and regulation from finally meeting what you usually avoid.
Inspiration and courage to bring these new ways of relating into your daily life and relationships.
What You Will Experience
A chance to bring your real life topics – not abstract exercises.
The paradox of being both vulnerable and powerful at the same time.
The impact of being supported by a group that holds you, instead of judging you.
The magic of dissolving patterns when they’re met with presence and awareness.
The joy and playfulness that often appears once the charge around a topic begins to move.
A safe, honest environment where all parts of you are welcome: messy, proud, scared, tender, angry, loving.
A safe, loving environment where all of you is welcome
Important Note
Erlebnisraum is:
a deeply experiential group space
not a substitute for ongoing psychotherapy or medical treatment
We work with intense themes, but always within the frame of consent, emotional responsibility and respect for your limits.
If you are currently in acute crisis or have a history of severe trauma, please reach out beforehand so we can sense together if this space is suitable for you at this time.
