Philosophy
It is no measure of health to be well adapted to a profoundly sick society - Krishnamurti
We are living in challenging times! In the age of devastating wars (Russia-Ukraine & Israel-Gaza) just after the global pandemic isolation, of oil crisis and general climate threats, the human race seems to have lost connection with its inner and outer nature.
We are raised in a collective culture with on outdated worldview. A worldview based on separation, distrust and extraction resulting in exhausted people and climate genocide. The mechanistic dream of controlling everything proved to be an illusion, especially when it comes to people. People are a lot more complex than machines and no human wants to be treated like a replaceable hinge in a device. Individualism has served its duty by letting us think for ourselves and dream of authenticity. It has however fooled us in ways we didn't see coming: it´s rather difficult to be authentic without a supportive team. By now, we´ve all found out we don´t have much power on our own. When self-care becomes incompatible with care for the other, we get into trouble.
Endless discussions at work, soulless or fearful conversations, never having time for what really matters, recurring problems, the same results over and over again, we all know the game. Most of our ails, symptoms and conflicts are caused by expired ways of seeing, being, doing and reacting. We urgently need an update.
What´s coming?
If we continue like this, people will exhaust themselves. Children will lack relaxed parents. Our authenticity risks getting suffocated by a hustle culture. A lot of talents will go lost or will never be found. Relationships suffer more and more every day. So does our creativity under antisocial leadership. Our bodies take note and might say no one day. If we wait for our leaders to change our course, it will be too late. If we try to do it alone, it will be too little.
Yet if we begin building from the inside out and ground up, starting with ourselves and our inner circles, we might be surprised by how many supporters and allies we find. We all are in desperate need to reconnect. We are longing to belong and that is what people need to survive and thrive. The quality of our relations will shape our future, how we live, how we work, and what we do. It will impact all of us.
What I believe is needed...
Humans thrive when they develop themselves AND feel interconnected, when expressing their originality goes hand in hand with being heard, seen and supported. We can practice in building trust together and learn from one another. We can help each other and change our story into a life-enhancing, hopeful, beautiful one.
In fact, the real 'work' today is to restore the web of life, one step at a time. After all, true resilience is built with others, with the human and more-than-human. Easier than you think. Harder than you imagine. The experience of belonging is the big rewarding.
I´d love you to be a part of a global restorative movement because the world is in desperate need of weavers. Weavers connecting people! People constructing a qualitative social reality. Do you wanna weave with us?
How do we go from A to B?
ROUTE TO TRUST & CREATIVITY
BUILDING TRUST IS THE KEY INGREDIENT OF SUCCESSFUL LEADERSHIP.
We all see, feel and experience the world in different ways. We each have our own combination of values, beliefs and experiences. These underlying worldview lenses influence our relationships, communication and conflicts.
THERE IS A LEADER IN EVERY CHAIR.
Leadership is everyone´s job. Everyone can inspire, guide or influence someone. Responsibility according ability.
WE BUILD TRUST WHEN WE INQUIRE OUR ASSUMPTIONS,
APPRECIATE ALL PERSPECTIVES AND EMBRACE DIFFERENCES.
When we listen and speak without judging, we absorb all wisdom and develop empathy on a deeper level.
When all points of view are listened to, we all feel included and heard. Opposing views are not a threat to our own perspective and also teach us something. Uplifting prejudices is a liberating practice.
SLOWING DOWN TO GO FASTER
From Chronos to Kairos: We often believe we don´t have time to clarify our assumptions, yet we neglect all the time we lose with conflicts, misunderstandings and distrust. Taking time and having patience has advantages we rarely speak about. It allows us to sense the collective field, our intuition, and the right timing. It respects our natural drive and rhythm, nourishes our well-being and helps us find innovative solutions.
FULLY LIVING WITH ALL OUR SENSES
We are much more than our thoughts or emotions alone. Our multiple intelligences tap from all our senses and give us information we cannot grasp with the mind alone. A balanced way of being, acting and listening with heart, body and mind facilitates the experience of abundant resonance.
EXPANDING OUR PERSPECTIVE LEADS TO TRUST AND CONNECTEDNESS,
THE FERTILE SOIL FOR CREATIVITY.
All living beings are creative. We are creative by nature.
