Abenteuer sind was schönes, aber sie bringen uns

Abenteuer sind was schönes, aber sie bringen uns auch manchmal an unsere Grenzen.

Letzte Nacht habe ich in dieser wundervollen Kohte das erste Mal übernachtet, und es kam auch prompt gleich ein Gewitter! Aber nach einigem feinjustieren kam auch praktisch kein Wasser mehr durch und wir hatten eine angenehme, trockene Nacht 🙂

Wann war das letzte Mal, dass du zittern musstest, weil du nicht wusstest, ob ein Experiment wirklich so funktioniert, wie du es dir vorgestellt hattest? Und wann hast du das letzte mal die Begeisterung gespürt, als du gemerkt hast, dass es auch wirklich funktioniert?

Wenn du ein kleines Abenteuer in der Natur erleben magst, dann ist ja auch vielleicht die Wilde Woche was für dich. Nächster Termin ist 24.9.-2.10.2022.

Und sogar mit einem Special Guest aus Indien!

it's abundance time again!! Just remembered that the figs might be ripening now, and was blown away by the yield! *yummy*

And I am well aware of how lucky I am, that I have such a wonderful garden next to mine, and such a wonderful neighbor that lets me have as much as I want...

But how often do we not see our luck? How often do we not notice all the gifts that we are given in this life?

Letting go isn't really about the process of doing

Letting go isn't really about the process of doing the act. It's about opening our eyes. Then we can realize that there is no real danger and that we no longer need to hold on.

When waking up to thousands of beautiful crystals

When waking up to thousands of beautiful crystals on the window, I can't help but be grateful for the little things. For being allowed to wake up to a new day, for having a roof over my head, for having a woodstove that creates the most nourishing heat I know (aside from the sun and cuddling with someone else)...

So often we loose sight of the things that are important. Like how we feel each moment of the day, how much gratitude we feel, the people who show up to walk the path together.

I myself have fallen into that trap so many times. The "I'll just do this, and then I can enjoy...", or the "I'm overwhelmed, but it's still ok. I can handle it.." (while knowing deep down that I can't..). They all tear us away from ourselves. from our heart of hearts. From feeling joyful, alive, present and in the moment.

And sights like those ice crystals remind me of the magic that is all around us. We don't need to struggle to "get there". We simply need to stop and observe what's already here. And take one step at a time. whenever we feel the impulse to do so...

Zum Gipfel zu kommen ist ein geniales Gefühl. Ega

Zum Gipfel zu kommen ist ein geniales Gefühl. Egal ob es ein Berg ist, oder jedes andere Ziel. Man steht da oben, hat einen genialen Ausblick, und es fühlt sich einfach besonders and.

Dennoch ist es relevant, wie wir dorthin gekommen sind. Haben wir es mit eigener Kraft geschafft, oder hatten wir Hilfsmittel wie ein Auto, einen Lift oder ähnliches? Sind wir alleine hochgegangen, oder hatten wir Gesellschaft? Sind wir hochgerast, ohne den Weg und die Landschaft zu genießen? Und welchen Weg haben wir gewählt?

All diese Aspekte wirken sich auf unser Gefühl aus, das sich beim Erreichen des Ziels, des Gipfels, in uns ausbreitet. Alle Entscheidungen, Gedanken und Gefühle können uns als Spiegel, als Reflexionskörper dienen.

Und was ist, wenn wir oben sind? Fällt dann das Ziel weg? oder suchen wir ein neues? Und können wir es dennoch auch danach noch genießen, diesen Gipfel erreicht zu haben?

Vor Kurzem habe ich das erste Mal mit eigener Kraft ein Gipfelkreuz erreicht. Es war genial, aber ich konnte es gar nicht richtig genießen, weil es so kalt und windig war. Ich war nicht ausreichend vorbereitet. Und dann bekam ich das Geschenk, kurz danach wieder aufzusteigen. Jedes Mal ein völlig anderes Erlebnis. Andere Spiegel, andere Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse.

Und dann die Frage: ist es wirklich relevant, welchen Gipfel, welches Ziel wir erreichen? Oder ist es wichtiger, wie wir uns beim Aufstieg fühlen? Wer dabei war? Was wir gelernt haben? Und wie wir uns nach dem Erreichen des Ziels fühlen? Was wir daraus machen?

feeling deeply connected... how can you describe something in words that need to be experienced to be understood??

And yet, how can we jump into new experiences if we don't even know that we might be looking for it? Well, there is no clear answer to any of those questions. But I can share, that the experience of feeling more and more a part of the free, abundant, and also harsh wilderness around and inside of me, makes me feel completely alive.

And if some of these words have made you curious to what the hell I might be talking about, I invite you to check out my immersion offerings:

or the Wild Weeks in late spring and summer in Austria (dates coming soon) - links in bio

Fire is light. Fire brings warmth. Light brings ho

Fire is light. Fire brings warmth. Light brings hope. And a simple candle (or any fire for that matter) can help drown out all (or at least some of) your worries and thoughts. just light one and watch it for a while. if you let it, it allows you to get into a meditative state, where your whole system can relax for a moment.

It won't make everything better right away, but it will allow you to just BE. And it can remind you of your inner fire and that it's important to feed it and take good care of it. And that's especially important in dark times and seasons.

Willst du mit mir in den Wald? Mal alles andere zurücklassen, runterkommen, sich spüren, und bei sich selbst ankommen.

Wir streifen durch den Wald, leben ganz direkt mit der Umgebung, lernen sie kennen, und lernen, wie wir es uns draussen gemütlich machen können.

wann? 11.-15.8.2021
wo? Leithagebirge, Burgenland, Österreich

Für mehr Infos gibt's einen Link in der Bio. Und bei weiteren Fragen gern auch eine DN.

“One of the hardest things of being single, is b

“One of the hardest things of being single, is believing that you’re worth something. Alone. Too many single people sell themselves short. Here’s what I think. Maybe there’s a real value to figuring out who we are. Alone. Because we can’t invest in someone really Special, until we invest in ourselves.
Maybe being alone Isn’t something to be suffered through. Maybe it’s something to celebrate. And sometimes, the universe celebrates with you. And just because you don’t have someone to share the celebration with, doesn’t make it less beautiful.” ("Men in Trees", Episode "What you're worth")

And this is not only true for relationships and being single, but also when building a free and self-directed life and business.

When we want to train and prepare ourselves for a

When we want to train and prepare ourselves for a specific situation, or when we want to achieve something – anything really – we need to have a real, tangible need to do so, a picture, a vision, where or how we want to be, and at least an idea, WHY that is important to achive, and how it can be done. If we simply have the vision, it is not enough. We need a force to start the motion, one to accelerate, one to keep the momentum, and one to make sure we’re not burning out.

What is most important to you can change from mome

What is most important to you can change from moment to moment. And it's important to notice both the "long term" important things, and the current important things.

And then act on them. Show yourself, the people around you, and the world/universe, that you mean it. That it is true, what you say. That you can put trust also in yourself that you act on what's important to you.

For example I decided, that it's most important for me to be joyful with what I'm doing. That HOW I'm doing things is a lot more important that any specific thing. - I tend to forget that, when I'm too focused on all my open tasks and being there for the people around me, that the best way for me to be truly helpful is to be content, joyful and centered within myself, and bring that into the world.

I won't pretend that I have all the answers. I won't pretend that I can do it all and more. I might be afraid of doing something wrong or failing, but I won't let that hold me back. - And even though I wrote those last few lines to sound all "woke" 😉, I am mostly telling them to myself. Reminding myself of my intentions. Reminding me to let go of all the expectations I put on myself, that in turn create internal stress and inhibit following my intention of being joyful 😀

I'd LOVE to hear what's most important for YOU right now!

how can something so beautiful also be so devastat

how can something so beautiful also be so devastating?

I just finished a two-week nature immersion experience, where I (co-)guided a group of really tough people in the wilderness of Sweden. through more than knee-deep snow and freezing temperatures of -25 C and less.

All those beautiful winter Wonderland landscapes on pictures seem to so often convey only the awe that we feel, but not the price we need to pay to be able to see it.

I would love to tell you, that being immersed in nature for longer periods of time than just a few hours or days is always magical and wonderful and allows the feeling of being connected to emerge. and even though all of that comes, we need to be aware of the "shit-sandwich", as a good friend of mine called it.

everything we want to achieve, gain or experience comes with a price. this might sound negative or ominous, but I mean it in a very neutral way.

What are you willing to give, to gain something a lot more appealing or amazing to you? Are you willing to accept freezing temperatures, having frozen toes and fingers unless you constantly move and keep warm, in order to experience the amazing awe of Nature's magic, that's simply indescribable?

And this can be applied to so many things: Are you willing to give up the comfort of watching a movie to taking the time to go out for a walk in nature and reflect on what is truly important in your life?

Are you willing to feel uncomfortable and vulnerable and possibly shamed in a relationship in order to truly, openly and honestly connect with a person and build a trusted bond that cannot easily be broken by any outside forces?

Whatever we do, we weigh, what price we pay for doing it. However it's just as equally important to weigh the price we pay if we DON'T do it.

So many people said to me and others who joined in the immersion, that they could never do what we're doing. But is that really true? And what price are you willing to pay for playing it safe?

Would YOU give up a little comfort for the possibility to feel truly alive and experience something deeply true? -- I'd love to know, so just leave a comment if that text inspired you in some way.

How can we figure out if fear is guiding or controlling us and when it's courage?

Fear is a vital part of our life. and most of that fear nowadays is in our heads. I just published a blog article about figuring out if we do something out of fear or a different kind of emotion.
