Blog post #12: Is to dare to care?

In blog post #9 I recommended Ken Robinson´s TEDtalk. Not only because what he says is worth listening to but also how he says it. Same goes for Brené Brown in talking about the power of vulnerability in a, to me, entertaining way. To me, what they have in common, is their elaboration on human… Blog post #12: Is to dare to care? weiterlesen

Blog post #11: What are you waiting for?

There is plenty of research done that could wake us up. There are plenty of reasons calling us to action. If we only believed that each one of us mattered and makes a difference. So much can be done right here right now. As Alixa and Naima said: „Why would a flower hesitate to open?“… Blog post #11: What are you waiting for? weiterlesen

Blog post #10: The power of thoughts

Last week I wrote about the power of community. Mosaique, self-described as “a house in central Lüneburg, a movement and a vision for a peaceful world” for me is a physical space where community building is fostered.

It´s a… Blog post #9: The power of community weiterlesen

Blog post #4: The attitude of trees

Last week I went running again. Completely in my thoughts, what happened – I fell. My T-shirt torn at my left shoulder. I did not continue running. Everything came over me in that moment. I thought maybe that was a sign, indicating to slow down again. I cannot remember when I was sitting, simply sitting… Blog post #4: The attitude of trees weiterlesen

Blog post #3: To dance beautifully, each one must stand in their own axis.

I am the one responsible for my own balance. A key lesson in Tango which couldn´t fit better to highlight the importance of self-care, particularly for working in teams. A fellow GAIA community member brought it to the point in saying “If I am not safe in my body all the other visions are gone.”… Blog post #3: To dance beautifully, each one must stand in their own axis. weiterlesen
