From surviving to thriving

Part 2: Reclaiming time and money In my last conversation with my younger self we talked about uncovering the truth.

Younger self: So I´ve been thinking about what you said about moving from surviving to thriving. But how do I apply it practically? Where do I start? It seems like every step I take I hit a wall. Am I just supposed to cancel my mortgage and live in the woods?

Letting go of illusions, without losing hope

I walk through the forest in my city. It rained yesterday and today and like they are answering to a call from the skies, fungi in different shapes and colours have popped up their heads. This is their season, fall. The season of letting go, of decay, a necessary step…

To all my relations

When I design a garden creating relations is the way and the goal combined. When I work with people I adhere to the same credo. Especially in the beginning of a group process it demands active facilitation so that we start to grow a collective responsibility for it. With this…
