Begeisterung fürs länger (also 2 Wochen+) drauß

Begeisterung fürs länger (also 2 Wochen+) draußen sein kommt bei mir voll oft dann, wenn ich drüber rede, bzw mich daran erinnere, wie es war, wenn ich draussen war... so wie gerade jetzt.

Die Videos, wie wir uns gut vorbereiten können kommen sobald ich sie geschnitten hab...

Wenn du fas Gefühl hast, nicht produktiv gewesen

Wenn du fas Gefühl hast, nicht produktiv gewesen zu sein, nachdem du Grünzeug geerntet, Kekse gebacken, Äpfel aufgeschnitten und Saft gemacht hast, dann ist es Zeit, dein Glaubenssystem zu überdenken..... 🤪

my garden welcomed me with a lot of wild abundance... but is also happy that I'm finally back home and taking care of her now.

Mein Garten hat mich mit wilder Fülle empfangen... ist aber auch ganz froh, dass ich endlich wieder Zuhause bin und mich wieder um ihn kümmere.

MAGIC!! 🌺❤️🥰

celebrated midsummer yesterday. one more night and then the wildmoon is starting. a whole mooncycle immersed in nature. living like a clan, connecting what it means to be human...

I'm really excited to be part of the guiding team this year and that we have quite the big group. and a great place to do it with an awesome view of the sunset!

Some may think that there is almost no difference

Some may think that there is almost no difference between a canoe and a kayak, only that one is closed at the top. After taking a kayak course last weekend, I see the differences much more clearly.

And I could list all the technical differences, but what fascinated me much more was the feeling. Kayaks (for me) are much more for play and sport, while canoes are better for longer trips and transportation.

It was really exciting to try different rescue maneuvers, including half an eskimo roll 😉 . I also got a better feel for how different it moves. Nevertheless, I am still rather a friend of canoes. Of quiet and comfortable. It somehow suits my lifestyle more.

Offering longer wilderness immersion experiences d

Offering longer wilderness immersion experiences doesn't just mean going out with people. There is also a lot of preparation involved. Including fighting through the thicket of the swedish wilderness to find possible campsites for a not so small group (about 30 people including guides and children), where we can be for several days.

This can be very challenging, but also very rewarding. Above all, it brings a change to my other work, where I sometimes sit at the computer quite a lot.

But such moments always remind me how grateful I am to be able to lead such a rich, free and lively life. To be on the road for a week with dear people, working on a common project, sleeping outside in the forest, and being more and more who I am. And in doing so, getting to know myself and the others deeper and deeper.

This is such an incredible gift that I find it hard to put into words....

Finding inspiration in nature is not difficult. Ev

Finding inspiration in nature is not difficult. Everywhere we find small wonders. Magical moments. Fascinating or soothing sounds. Amazing smells. Rich tastes.

Once we are in nature (preferably wild nature), we can much more easily fall into the magic of all things and then inspiration can flow. Whether it's writing, crafting/building, painting or dancing. When we open up, it can flow.

For me, that is contentment and fulfillment. Being there. Feeling the elements. In the moment. Completely there. In deep gratitude for everything.

for most of my life, i didn't really understand why people would want to hike up a mountain. Skiing I understood. but otherwise... they're just mountains...

But since I started my little trip through South Tyrol a few days ago, and then especially through the Dolomites, I got a new understanding for these mighty creatures.

Mountains are our carriers of wisdom and ancient knowledge. They are our grandfathers and grandmothers. They are so powerful, resting deep within themselves, patiently waiting for us to become aware of our own power and strength again.

Now that I'm back in relative flatland, I notice the difference. It feels much harder to connect with my surroundings. To connect with all the history of the land. What has survived all these millennia? Even the oldest trees are just a few hundred years old. and often we don't even have that anymore....

But the trip inspires me all the more to look for the keepers of wisdom and ancient knowledge in my homeland as well. Because we have them everywhere. They are only well hidden.

Jetzt fang ich auch schon an, Gedichte durch mich

Jetzt fang ich auch schon an, Gedichte durch mich fließen zu lassen...

Mein Kopf dreht sich schon wieder im Kreis und mir wird schwindlig.
Immer schneller.
Immer intensiver.
Einfach nur schreien wollen.
Aber kein Ton ist zu hören.
Die Gitter des Käfigs unsichtbar.
Ich frage: Warum trete ich nicht heraus?
Die anderen wundern sich auch.
aber ich bin wie versteinert.
Festgehalten von Angst.
Ich esse mir eine Schutzmauer.
Vielleicht passiert mir dann nichts?
Gleichzeitig spür ich mich weniger.
Bin abgelenkt von Gedanken.
Bin abgelenkt von Ideen der anderen.

Dreh mich im Kreis.
Immer schneller.
Und irgendwann falle ich.
Immer tiefer und tiefer.
Dann gibt es kein verstecken.
Dann gibt es keine Schutzmauer.
Dann ist da einfach nur Nacktheit.
Verletzlichkeit.
Weiche, zarte Babyhaut.
Rund und gesund.
Ohne Bewertung.
Einfach nur Liebe.

Ich bin Liebe.
Alles ist Liebe.
Die Sonne.
Das Auto.
Der nervige Nachbar.
Der Stein.
Alles.
Dann ist da Nichts.
Und alles auf einmal.
Einfach so.

Ohne Grund.
Ohne Weg.
Ohne Ziel.
Ohne Wunsch.
Ohne Erwartung.

Ich muss nichts sein.
Weil ich nicht etwas _sein_ kann!
Das wäre alles nur eine Maske.
Ein Spiel.
Aber ich kann _nichts_ sein.
Und alles auf einmal.
Einfach so.

Einfach?
Ja.
Wenn wir aufgeben.
Wenn wir nicht mehr sein wollen, sondern schlichtweg sind.
Eine Zelle. So klein, und doch so bedeutsam.
Mit jeder gesunden Zelle werden wir stärker.
Sind wir stärker.
Sind wir.

Alles und nichts.
Tod und Leben.
Alles eins.

All our lives happens in cycles. We are outgoing,

All our lives happens in cycles. We are outgoing, and we retreat. We breathe in, and breathe out, we're active, and we're passive. We give and we receive. And one cannot happen without the other for too long.

I've been very present with living my life more and more with the rhythms of my monthly female cycle, as well as following the different energies of the natural cycle of the day or year when it comes to projects. But talking with some wonderful women during our full moon women's circle, I realized, that even though I had been paying more attention to the moon cycles in general, I hadn't so much observed, how they affect my life. It somehow would add so much more complexity to my life, while at the same time could possibly just as well support me more.

So while sitting by the fire, watching the full moon rise in its magical glory, and now remembering it all when seeing the picture, I put the question out there: How have the different phases of the moon affected you? affected me? How can we use that to help us fall more into alignment?

excerpt from my latest blog post "Redefining Productivity". For the full article, check the link in my bio (also available in german)

"What is productive?

The way I interpret the word is, that being productive you produce or create something. Where something comes out of your actions. Some sort of result that has some kind of positive or constructive connotation, as opposed to destructive. But isn’t a demolition company being productive by tearing down a house? Or isn’t burning wood giving us warmth and all kinds of other things, while it’s destroying the wood? So isn’t the whole question of destructive behaviour just a point of view? When I destroy a belief system and build a new one, isn’t the destruction part just the first productive step?"

schenken und beschenkt zu werden ist zwar heutzuta

schenken und beschenkt zu werden ist zwar heutzutage oft zur Obligation geworden. Aber es geht auch immer noch, dass wir unerwartet und ohne Hintergedanken des anderen einfach so beschenkt werden. Und dann passiert Magie.

So wie letztes, als ich am Bauernmarkt vorbeigekommen bin und mich mit einem Freund unterhalten habe, der dort Pilze und Pilzprodukte verkauft. Ich war schon am Gehen, weil er mit Kundschaft beschäftigt war, und dann kommt er mir nach, und drückt mit eine Schale Pilze in die Hand. einfach so. Ein Geschenk. Und diese Pilze fühlen sich für mich so viel wertvoller an als wenn ich sie "normal" gekauft hätte...

Ich mag noch einen vollständigen Beitrag übers Schenken schreiben, weil da so viel mehr da is, aber diese Message musste jetzt einfach gleich raus.. Vielen Dank Erich! @angelika_erich_tobler

*unbezahlte Werbung* einfach als Geschenk.. 😀

whee!! I have a teepee!! oh.. wait.. it's a Kohte.

whee!! I have a teepee!! oh.. wait.. it's a Kohte.. actually a Lavvu... hä??

round, pointy tents seem to be found in many different native traditions. may it be the well-known Tipi of some North American tribes, or the probably lesser-known Lavvu from the Sami people. I first got introduced to this type of tent almost a whole turn of the seasons ago, but back then it was black. Now I finally have my own version in natural white. And it's great!

You can build it up in about 15 min (if you know what you're doing) with just two or three people. The parts can also be used separately for smaller shelters if needed. And you can make a fire in the middle.

The drawback I noticed is with the entrance, and that there is no good way that I know of to close it completely from the outside. But I still love it! And the more I use it, the more I will find ways to improve those aspects.

The first evening that we put it up in the garden, we already created a magical space the moment we lit the fire... And I'm excited to have it become a beautiful addition to my outdoor living space, as well as for all sorts of gatherings ❤️🌺🥰

Was bedeutet das in der Wildnis eintauchen eigentlich? Es ist ein tiefes mit sich selbst auseinander setzen. Ein wirklich lebendig sein. Nächste Möglichkeit: der Wild Moon in Schweden 🙂

excerpt from my latest blog post "The power of yes and no". for the full article, check the link in my bio (also available in german)

"... Recently I was part of a wonderful conversation about what it is we do and how it feels, when we are fully giving ourselvs to life. When we let go of control, fall into that river of life, and fully dedicate every action, every minute of our life to that higher purpose. It’s like serenading life itself. And while I was listening, and connecting to that feeling of fully devoting ourselves to what life has in store for us, I was again thrown back to my roots: writing.

There will always be more urgently seeming projects or tasks. But I need to be true to myself and that “higher” purpose. This doesn’t mean I will abandon my other projects (after all, I need some inspiration what to write about), but my priorities will change. ..."

Having a visit by a hare directly on the day that so many of us call easter sunday, I can't help but believe in magic... (well, I do that every day and especially when I get visitors like him)

And it makes me want to check that spot for eggs as soon as he's gone there 😀
