 ← CHAPTER OVERVIEW

What do we mean when we say communities, and why do we need them?

Dear Creatrix,

How did the exercise from the last lesson go? If you haven’t shared your cause yet, do it now! We’d all love to hear what is important to you, so we can support you.

But before we move on, I’d like to make sure that we all know what we are talking about.

Because when I think of community, I think of two different things.

One is the neighbourhood community, where people of all ages come together, support each other and help each other out, simply because they feel a connection because they share the same space and environment and most likely have known each other all their lives.

I was lucky enough to feel and watch this kind of community for the first time ever in Germany when I moved to a small village some years ago. It was very nice to see indeed.

I also experienced this in Ukraine to some extent, though the situation was a bit more complex there, as I lived in a minority community, within another minority community in a very remote region in Ukraine. So the alliances formed were definitely also political.

Which then also leads us to the other kind of community, which is a group of people who meet and come together because they share a certain interest or want to fight for a certain cause together.

As a queer person, for example, I always felt like I belong to a global queer community as well.

But a community like this could also be a local urban gardening community, or a church community, or a group that comes together to preserve wildlife, or wants to build or is building and maintaining a skate park, cultural events or anything like that.

So, this leaves us with two kinds of communities, one that lives together, naturally, grows together, goes through seasonal and regional changes together and where the members see each other regularly because they frequent the same places; schools, bakeries, doctors, events.

It’s based on attachment to a certain area and region, and often also based on generations knowing each other and growing up and living together over longer periods of time.

The other one is based on common interests, experiences and projects, and they might only come together occasionally or for a certain period of time.

Members don’t even necessarily all have to know each other, but just share a common ‘feature’ (queer, black, neurodivergent, etc.) or come together to fight for a certain cause.

This last one is the one we will be focusing on here in this course, though what we talk and think about can surely also be transferred to problems and solutions in village communities and families or teams or any group of people that comes together, really.

The focus of this chapter will be on, how we can come together and unite a group of people to combine our energies for a common goal.

And the reason, why it is so important to me to make this clear, is because the more vague we are, the harder things become.

If we want to create meaningful and lasting change, we have to use our energies wisely.

For example, I ran an organisation called Transnational Queer Underground, and through that platform, I published art and stories focused on the experience of being queer in this world.

The common goal that united the community around that, was to create more space for diverse queer perspectives and to show that being queer can mean many different things and that that’s not only OK, but actually pretty cool.

Now, with the CREATRIX School, the common goal is to CREATE a world, in which we can all live together peacefully – celebrating our differences and our unique gifts and talents.

What brings people together here is, that we all believe that we have to do the inner work and find clarity, confidence and connection within ourselves first, to then help CREATING the changes we each would like to see in the world in the best possible way.

By doing so, we are growing a community of people who want to learn all it takes to live an empowered and free life – and to find out what that means by practising this in community with other people – peacefully.

Because no one exists in a vacuum, and this is also why it is important to find, build and create our communities – the places where we experience true belonging and where we can come together to support each other.

In the last lesson we started thinking about a cause that we might want to support, something that’s close to our hearts, and we started …

Ritual: How to Analyse Your Dreams

Ritual: How to Analyse Your Dreams

Analysing our dreams

Our dreams are a window into our subconscious, and analysing them and other messages we receive during the day can help us a lot to learn about ourselves, and what we really believe about something.

In this ritual, we will start using a dream journal and explore how we can change our perspective when thinking about and analysing our dreams so that we can learn and grow with them.

Let’s be grateful and practice our gratitude

Let’s be grateful and practice our gratitude

Why a gratitude Practice?

I think we’ve all heard, that knowing how to find balance, or inner peace, is the highest good in today’s world.

It’s actually valued higher than money because no money in the world can buy you inner peace.

Yet, we can all have it for free.

All we have to do for it is to stop trying to please others and just be ourselves and listen to our heart’s desires.

I feel extremely grateful that I figured out a way for myself to live in balance and experience inner peace, if not at all times, then at least at most times.

And I’d like to share with you, today, how you can have that as well.

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

This will be so much fun!
Every chapter is my favourite chapter, but this one is extra special.

In this chapter, we are going to find out, how incredibly powerful we are, how we hold the answers to all questions within, and how even, or especially, our fears, can help us to explore our desires and help us to grow and come back to being our true selves.

Are you ready to become (almost) fearless? And to open up to the joys of life? And to experience the natural flow of life?

Then let’s go! 💖

Growth – Week 1 – Pt. 2

How would you like to grow?

In this lesson, we are diving into our desires and wishes and, most importantly, the questions we currently have about the world, our lives, and all there is.

Because this first week is about exploring where we are and getting to know ourselves better so that we can learn about in which direction we want to grow.

Letting go of fear

Today, we start freeing ourselves from some of the baggage we’ve been carrying around with us. Because we wish to be free, right?

And freedom lies in the moment between a trigger and our reaction – when we learn to be able to choose our reaction, then we are free to be and live however we choose and wish to, and in this lesson I will show you an easy trick that can help with that.

The Spiritual Laws & The Law of Projection

In this lesson, we begin to learn about the Spiritual Laws and how they can help us.

And we also think about how often we don’t even know that we ‘re not well, because we’ve never actually been well, and see how we can choose the surrounding influences, and stop what actually harms us more than it serves us, to allow us to become ourselves and feel better, more and more.

The Basic Laws of Life

In this chapter we go deeper into exploring the basic laws of life and how they can help us to creating a solid basis for our lives.

Because as we’ve learned in the past week to move into new and unknown territory, which we always do when we grow, can bring us out of balance and if the ground on which we’re standing is shaky and insecure already it becomes much harder to dare to move forward, as we don#t want to add more insecurity if we are already insecure.

So the stronger the foundation we stand and build our lives on the easier it becomes for us to dare to grow and move beyond what we and previous generations might have thought possible for themselves.

Letting go of Resistance & Attachment

In this lesson, we explore resistance and attachment and how they keep us from making our dreams come true.

When we learn to relax and let go, we can allow for things to come to us.

It is a practice and can be really difficult. Because often we are much more used to trying to manipulate and influence things with our actions then actually being able to wait for things we desire to come to us.

THE LAWS OF CREATION

In this lesson, we explore the laws of creation because they are the basis for our lives as CREATRIXES.

We learn a bit more about manifestation, how the laws of clarity and intention can help us and see what it means to be in the FLOW of life and what’s blocks it.

Are you ready to create your life?

THE LAWS OF HIGHER AWARENESS

Today, we will explore the laws of higher awareness, as they help us to understand more about the world and how it works.

We will explore the law of balance and polarity and how we need to have all options to be able to choose what we want, and to guide us back into balance.

We also learn about the law of responsibility, as it really enables us to be free, and the law of affirmation, as it can help us to grow into the person we wish to become.

THE LAWS OF HIGHER FREQUENCY

In this lesson, we explore what we are made of and how we can use the knowledge of how we are made to make more of what we wish for.

We also explore the importance of raising our frequency and how that contributes to the well-being of our planet.
