Right Here, Right Now – Toxic Femininity and Genuine Encounter
Many of us today have a nuanced vocabulary for emotions, boundaries, and social dynamics—and yet we still find it difficult to remain truly present in our interactions with ourselves and others. Instead, we often fall back on learned roles and strategies: conformity, feigned closeness, emotional control, or constantly anticipating the needs of others.
In this space for exploration, Sophia Fritz and Christina Lehr from ehrlichleben combine brief insights into feminine and masculine influences with trauma-sensitive body exercises, reflection, and shared experiences. The starting point is the question of how connection becomes possible when we not only talk about our patterns but begin to perceive them in the present moment.
Together, we explore how shame, neediness, insecurity, or the desire for belonging influence our behavior—and why emotional sensitivity does not automatically lead to genuine closeness. How do we encounter one another beyond self-optimization, analysis, or social performance? What happens when we stop constantly curating ourselves?
This space is not intended as therapy, but as a communal space for shared experience. No prior knowledge is required, just openness and curiosity.
