The Final Gathering
What Does It Take to Trust (Again)?
On the smallest acts of reconnection.
Join us for a closing gathering of the project, where we’ll explore the core theme at the heart of these journals: trust.
Taking place in Berlin, in collaboration with Monika Jiang of the Oneliness Project, we’ll have a shared table meal exploring questions, thoughts, learnings from the project, and imagine together.
All are welcome, whether you’ve participated in the project or not. This is your invitation to do so. All that’s required is a bit of curiosity (and trust). Space is limited to be sure to grab a ticket soon. More details below!
Thurs, Sept 25
6-10 p.m.
C*Space Berlin
C*Space Berlin – A creative hub creating impact spaces for ideas and encounters across boarders.
What will it take for us to trust each other again?
We live in a time of deep rupture. Trust, in institutions, in systems, in leaders, has been eroding, for good reason. But perhaps most dangerously, is that we are losing trust in each other, in strangers, in the people around us.
This evening is a response to all of this—an invitation to explore together: How might we begin again?
It won't be theories or declarations, but rather an exploration of small gestures and acts. Through delicious food, reflection and sharing, holding (each other), and the stories that have been passed from hand to hand across the world.
In celebration of The Journal Project, this global experiment in trust and collaboration, you’re invited to explore what trust looks like in motion, together!
The Conversation
?
Would you…
Let someone answer a message on your phone?
Let someone feed you a mystery bite, eyes closed?
Risk being silly with someone new?
Tell someone a secret you’ve (always) kept to yourself?
Admit that you feel (really) lonely sometimes?
Speak your truth to someone who (you don't know?) even if they might vote differently?
Sit in the discomfort of it all — together?
How it works…
We ask that you bring a small dish to share. Keep is simple – could be a spread, a salad, raw veggies for a platter, or something sweet. Homemade or store-bought, all welcome.
This is an alcohol-free, vegetarian dinner — we’ll have tea and water to share.
Come alone, with a friend, or bring someone you’ve just met and want to connect with more.
This event is donation-based with a suggested contribution of 10 EUR (minimum 7 EUR).
You’re welcome to give more to support C*Space, which kindly opens its doors to us, The Oneliness Project, a growing initiative to explore loneliness as a shared experience and reconnection as a practice, and The Journal Project. Thank you!
Flow

-
Arrive slowly, help set the table, or just settle in.
-
Please have arrived by now so we can begin together.
-
Let’s eat! :) Sharing what we’ve each brought.
-
What happened to the 30 journals sent to people around the world? What does it offer us about trust—towards ourselves, each other, and something greater?
-
Gentle invitation to connect more deeply around the topic of the evening.
-
If everyone washes their bowl, we’ll be done in no time. And anyway, the best conversations often happen in the kitchen.
-
Leave with a full belly, hopefully, a full heart, and maybe something new to sit with.
