what I envision…

I envision a humanity waking up to its true purpose and meaning in the universe, evolving to its full potential and shifting from a human-centric, fragmented, ego-based form of living to a life-affirming, wholesome, love and unity based form of living.

I envision communities everywhere transitioning to a sustainable and resilient culture by re-visiting their belief and value systems, by radically re-designing principles, structures and institutions that govern our lives from a wholeness perspective, through collective reflection, dialogue, action and celebration.

I envision individuals connecting with their hearts and souls, cultivating intimate relationships with their tribes and communities, re-membering their relationship with Mother Earth, as well as the sacred and the mystery life is; choosing to step into their passions and what has heart and meaning for them boldly, courageously and taking responsibility for the change that they want to see in the world.

what I intend to create through my being and doing…

My intention is to be a vision and faith holder in this transition to the new paradigm; holding space for and witnessing with compassion our cycles of birth, death and rebirth and rites of passages that mark our lives; being a channel of creativity and healing; calling and weaving collective intelligence and celebration of life, through sharing my personal learning  journey, poetry, designing and hosting spaces of learning, healing, co-creation and celebration.

evolving principles & assumptions I aspire to live and work by…

• life is a learning journey and I am here to learn and grow into love, wholeness and conscious creation
• the unknown/invisible is greater than what we know and one cannot and does not need to know everything
• inquiring into questions could be more rewarding than seeking the answers
• as humanity, we are part of a larger ecosystem called the Earth
• in a collective, there is a depth of wisdom far beyond what is available to individuals alone
• life is a paradox: learn to live and love the paradox.
• it’s possible, believe and go for it! at the same time accept life’s gifts with grace and humility, even when they are defeating my “plans”. Trust that something better is in reserve and whatever I’ve been given needs my attention.
• there are ways of knowing other than the intellect: collective intelligence, intuitive knowing, body wisdom, nature’s wisdom, knowing through artistic expression…
• diversity has power, beauty and creativity.
• practice gratitude for all I have been given.
• find inspiration, meaning and strength in Mystery, Mother Earth, Great Mother
• practice living in kairos time: being alert and present when the opportune moment arrives and everything aligns with a purpose.

what I love…

• improvise-on-the-spot cooking and eating with friends
• traveling, living and learning in completely unfamiliar places
• being in silence
• writing and birthing poetry
• communing with the nature (especially with the wind, the sea and the mountains)
• authenticity, spontaneity, playfulness
• having a good laugh
• midwifing  what wants to be born
• working with emergent, creative fields as well as natural and invisible elements
• connecting people, projects and ideas of resonance
• communing with the Mystery
• supporting others’ (especially women’s) creative processes
• generative conversations
• dancing
• story-weaving through images and words
• creating beautiful and bountiful physical spaces (especially gardens)
