Vision Quest 2023 ~ english speakers welcome!
Dear one,
last time I shared in this space is almost one year ago around the Solstice. A few new people have arrived here with us and I welcome you warmly by this Fire. Here I share with you around Vision Quest, Nature & Embodiment, the potent and mysterious space of transition, the journey of belonging and other things related to these topics. I also inform about my offerings which take place in english.
For those new to me and interested in the modalities that are nameable and that I studied and then passionately further explored over the last more than 20 years, that is Music, Alexander Technique, Gestalt Therapy, Vision Quest, Soulful therapeutic mentoring. I know that all these modalities are very precious! And ... it was through the longer period of questing that I found a new and deeper inner foundation to work from, no matter which modality.
So let's talk about our NEWS ~
Our September Vision Quest will be facilitated bilingually!! It's held by a hilly land with lakes and forest and some fields around and our team, north of Berlin from 3rd to 11th of September 2023 is.
We've now had people feeling drawn to this Quest who only speak english - or little german - and so we are going to facilitate anything to do with preparation and integration beforehand and on the land in german and english. If you are feeling the call to Quest and find resonance in my and our work, feel free to contact me or Corinna for a free intro call. We will be honored to support your path of questing. (Read more about this Quest).
For the music makers here in the circle ~
If you are any type of musician or music maker: you are very welcome to join our Mindful Music Making Retreat (MMM) in August (15th - 20th), close to Berlin. According to the participants it is a truly life changing retreat. And what we see and partially accompany unfolds way beyond the retreat. There is a growing community of people, which meet in person and online and who explore how to re-introduce more humanness into the musical (and inner) worlds, support each other and explore new non-competitive ways ... (a few thoughts after a recent MMM workshop I gave you can find here).
A few personal words of sharing from my journey ~
I'm guessing a lot has happened also for you between June 2022 and now ... when I think back, it almost feels surreal what happened for me, since my northern hemisphere summer was truly packed with new experiences. After coming home from my own Quest, a time unfolded rich with the facilitation of different spaces that were all connected to my heart and my unfolding path. There was facilitation of retreats and a wedding ceremony, working with a youth orchestra, accompanying a young woman on her Rite of passage and then closing this arch with the Vision Quest in early autumn.
... and within all of that I got to reconnect with two dear sisters from Australia! ... and for the first time in my life spent time with the high mountains of the Alps.
For me it was a rich phase which came with initations, especially around the Quest work. My own quest for home led me to a greek island where I have spent some intense, beautiful, stormy, windy, transformative and cold winter months and now I'm back here for a little while (still stormy but warm now!), after a break of being in Germany for live retreats. I'm feeling very much in-formed, shaped by all these experiences, places and while it's an ongoing journey I'm gaining insight about myself, deepening into the clear fire of my own mythopoetic nature - while feeling the current of the journey-aspect of life.
The wind is blowing strongly these days on this island of Andros. I wonder, what is happening within and around you - in these very different places on this planet ... what are the things that you are in-formed and shaped by these days and weeks? What is it that speaks to the core of you? And what is it that caresses your tender parts?
Your bodily land and the land ~
I know you are at a screen now ... so it might be that you are feeling a bit disembodied. If you would like, click here to listen, take a break from the screen and join me for a few minutes of coming back into more fullness ... (LISTEN TO THE AUDIO HERE)
Grateful for sharing the same ground. Until soon 🔥❤️
