Stepping into my first yoga class in 2012 initiated a process of shedding the many layers of an image that I had created of myself. An inward journey–a journey of becoming aware and unlearning at the same time. An outward journey–from frantic Berlin city life, to one year living in an Ashram, into bold nature–and back.
Being born into a world that is driven by money and by destructive behaviour towards ourselves and this beautiful planet that we are sharing with so many other precious beings; not being able to comprehend these destructive ways of interacting, I started questioning the way we are as humans from a young age.
My journey has been about freedom and peace from the beginning. Yoga and meditation became the tools that enabled me to look inward, to get to know myself and showed me that every transformation starts from within, that all healing comes from within and that all potential to initiate healing lies already within us.
So all that my work is, is to create spaces that allow us to enter within and meet our Self, our
Wild Core
through: yoga, meditation, various self-awareness and community-building methods, sound, movement, touch,
honestly facing each other and sharing from the heart
FROM SHAME TO ACTION
Earth Keepers
Next Date
Sunday, 28th of March 2020
7pm/Uhr CET (Berlin)
Gathering in English!
Earth Keepers Gatherings are for people who care for the Earth, who feel the pain of the Earth – and know it is time to act.
How do inner work & activism come together ~ reinforce each other?
The monthly online workshops offer the space to connect with like-minded souls from all over the world. Within the gatherings we will shed light on how to handle challenging emotions, explore our abilities, our talents, our strengths and support each other on our Earth Keeper journeys after the gatherings.
This month’s focus:
From shame to compassion & action
My intention for this gathering is to open the space for a feeling that probably, hopefully, many of us (white people) have come into contact with over the past few days and weeks: Shame.
I am using the word “hopefully” because I believe that when we feel shame, it is a sign of awakening. It shows that we are becoming aware of something — something that was previously unconscious to us and from which we feel it is wrong.
Becoming aware of white privilege and internalized racist tendencies can and probably will bring up all kinds of emotions and reactions — from denial to embarrassment, to shame, guilt, overwhelm, ... you name it.
All of these reactions are normal, valid, and important ... AND it is our responsibility to take care of them, so we don’t get stuck in a cycle of despair — so we can actively contribute to dismantling racism within ourselves and our societies.
I invite you to come on a journey with me. A journey of honouring and embracing our feelings, to move forward and be supportive forces in the movement towards equality & peace.
About this month’s topic:
You will be guided through a 2,5-hour journey in which you will:
Take part in a communal sharing circle — expressing and sharing emotions & experiences of the past weeks.
Be guided through an embodiment journey of encountering and releasing sticky emotions — coming to a place of self-compassion.
Receive practical input on how to set foot on or continue your anti-racism activism.
Create a personal action plan that you commit to.
There is no prior experience in embodiment practices needed. You are welcome to turn your video & microphone off for the practices if you feel uncomfortable being seen by the group.
Note: Usually I put an “everybody is welcome” at this point. And although it’s not my intention to exclude anyone, I feel the need to express that this most likely won’t be a safe space for BIPOC. This gathering is aimed at white people who are new to anti-racist work.
The description video of the initial idea of the Earth Keepers gatherings. The concept has evolved since then, as have I, so sometimes there won’t be a guest facilitator or speaker. If you have a topic you are passionate about, feel invited to get in contact! I'm always open for collaborations.
Reserve your place
The gathering takes place on the platform Zoom that needs to be installed on your computer or phone. With your registration you’ll receive a download link to a PDF with further information. Please make sure to download & read it.
Ticket June 28 — 7pm CET
Registration closed. See you next time.
If you would like to take part but don’t have the financial means, feel free to get in contact with me to arrange an energy / skill exchange.
