Gentle Awakening

The basic education a woman receives is to be a caretaker.

And the more dysfunctional the family unit is, the earlier she takes on this role.

'The good girl' is not a sexy label women strive to have. It is a survival mechanism developed to cope with unsafe life situations.

The caretaker role has been taken to manipulate an outcome. The common thought pattern is: ' If I take care of this, it will all be good.' 'if I only keep the peace on this one, everything will improve'. And so on.

To take care is a natural warm behaviour but too many times it costs the self care and self knowledge we must give to ourselves.

Our mothers did not prioritize taking care of themselves.

I wonder how the world would change if we do?

The moment I felt his presence I knew...

I knew that I know that place.

He was a pure embodiment of who he is.

Powerful, dignified, love.

I felt a strong activation.

I allowed it to fill me up deeply. My whole body was gently activated.

As I came out of his shop, I was a different woman.

Not the same mind. Not the same body.

I became the Desert Flower.

His energy was so powerful and then is when I knew that I have the desert within me.

And I had it all along.

Desert is not told, desert is lived.

So I welcome you with me and the amazing people of the Amazigh tribe in the desert for a 7 days pilgrimage that wants nothing.

But to simply allow and keep on walking.

There comes a moment when life no longer asks us to push harder.

It invites us to walk differently.

From 𝟐𝟔 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝟐 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, we will walk together through the Moroccan desert on a seven-day pilgrimage where walking becomes our mantra, silence becomes a teacher, and celebration becomes the natural expression of a heart that has remembered itself.

This is an intimate journey for those who feel called to step away from the familiar and enter the unknown with trust.

We will be only 𝟏𝟎 𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐬.

The first tier of €990 is available until 𝟏𝟓 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭.

If something within you recognizes this invitation, I would be honored to walk beside you.

With love,

Making this video opened up for me many more insights.

The stray away from your natural rhythm can only happen for reasons of belonging. Or fear.

Sensitive people who are raised by mental, rational people suffer a lot from things that cannot even talk about.

To be forced to behave in a way that is natural to you creates inner distortions bigger than a big traumatic event can do.

Because they are microdoses of an identity that is not yours. So you start adopting that while believing who you are is wrong.

Only to be accepted by the ones who raise you.

This starts from childhood and it sediments during childhood but this message is for all of the adults, like me, who are still struggling with finding their own natural rhythm and act from a place of alignment and integrity.

I have deeply struggled with finding my bouce, I felt many times I don't have one, I thought I am a mistake in the world because I could not resonate with how the world is.

I had to hit my head of a wall time and time again until I managed to find my own inner rhythm, my inner voice that has been always speaking to me, but I could not hear it because my need for belonging was greater than the need for authenticity.

Thank God this is changing and I am prioritizing the things that actually bring me health, energy, aliveness.

We romanticize big trauma but it is the microdoses of external control that makes us who we are today.

I may make a youtube video on this.

Let me know in the comments what stays with you.

To be alive is to be one with what is asked from you.

I hope you can hear me, these heat bugs are so loud.
