Deep Conversation on Belonging - Where is my home and tribe?

Vad händer?
I hope everyone had a wonderful summer break. Welcome back!
It’s time to continue our series of deep conversations. Our next topic is:
Belonging — a deep conversation about home and tribe.
A long time ago, I met someone who attended every meetup and social activity in Stockholm with a sense of anxiety and desperation.
I asked her, “What are you looking for?”
She replied, “I’m looking for my home and tribe.”
So, in this very moment: where is your home?
Some of us might name a place, a city, or an address. Others might think of a person, a scent, or a feeling. A traveller I met recently said:
“Home is strong but gentle, and smells like oranges.”
But is home really a place—or is it a feeling we carry with us, one we can sometimes lose even while standing in the room where we grew up?
In an ever-changing world, with an ever-changing self, is there really a home we can return to?
We’re also told that we belong to a tribe, a family, a nation, a culture, or people who share our blood or beliefs. But what happens when the tribe we were born into no longer feels like home and the home we have found was never truly ours?
Is belonging something given to us, or something we must keep earning, again and again, in every room we enter?
And if we have had to leave a tribe in order to become ourselves, was that tribe ever truly home? or was it simply the first shape belonging took, before we knew any other?
Together, lets explore the nature of home and tribe and question what belonging really means.
As always, this will be a small, intimate gathering - a chance to stare into the abyss together one more time and create a space for real conversation and acceptance.
Meeting Point: Entrance of Göta Arkhuset, Medborgarplatsen 25 (same as last time). Its 2 minute walk from Medborgarplatsen t-bana.
The building is closed on weekends, but I have access. I’ll be waiting outside the building to receive you — please arrive at least 10 minutes early at 13:20. Doors will close at 13:40 sharp.
We’ll have coffee, tea, fruits, Doritos, and some chocolate in the space. No need to bring anything.
Looking forward to another raw and enlightening discussion. See you soon. 🙏
