Let’s create the world we want to live in – together!

What comes to mind when you hear the word community?

Do you feel like you are part of a community? Do you find belonging in community (yet)?

And if you’ve been involved in one or more community settings, what were the problems you faced?

What worked and didn’t work?

If you, like me, believe that it takes strong communities to create the changes we seek in this world, then let’s have a look, together, at how each of us can best contribute to building strong communities.

Because this life is up to us and what we make of it.

As somebody who has been involved in all kinds of communities all her life, I’ve seen a lot of what has worked and a lot that didn’t work, when it comes to building stronger communities.

From my experiences, it might be easy to conclude that there is no simple answer to the question of how we can start building stronger communities or uniting many individuals to work towards a common goal – as bringing different people, from different backgrounds together, to work together, in an unhealed world, is a difficult task.

But I will not let difficulties discourage me, and I have a feeling neither do you – and what’s even better, I found out that when we recognize a few things, it doesn’t actually have to be so hard.

Because when we begin to look at it from a higher perspective, a very simple answer becomes apparent, which only needs two components to work:

Any community or project, family or relationship will work smoothly if each part, each individual, is doing their inner work and is taking full responsibility for their life and their actions.

I’ve opened the CREATRIX School exactly for this reason – so we can all learn how to become free, happy, growing, thriving and flourishing human beings – who create their worlds and take full responsibility for their thoughts, words and actions.

Because when we fully get to know ourselves, and begin to be kind and loving to ourselves, we can also begin to safely, kindly, compassionately interact with others and then, together, each of us can begin to live their lives in service for the highest good of all – fully knowing that what’s best for all is also what’s really best for ourselves.

With a few simple transitions, this really could be everyone’s reality.

And you can learn all of these transitions in the CREATRIX School, while meeting your true self and other like-minded people, and once you do, see your life and your world begin to change, through the changes you’ve created within.

For this, it does not matter what other people are doing, or if they agree – until this is everyone’s reality, until everybody is taking full responsibility for their lives, we start by taking full responsibility for our own lives, and begin to thrive and flourish in our own lives because this is what will create the necessary ripple effects to inspire others as well.

And then we can ask ourselves what it is that we are looking for in terms of community – and start creating that.

Because the more we create of what we love, the more we can enjoy that as well.

It’s the new way to live, and it’s available to all!

In short: Do you feel like it’s time to start really diving into your sense of responsibility so you can start leading with confidence and help direct our world in a way that helps us all to prosper and evolve?

Do you believe a small group of people can create meaningful change and, with that, eventually change the world?

The intention to create meaningful change, to come together with open hearts, and the readiness to listen, learn and grow, is the base for any form of community, and what can help us in building stronger communities, besides what I mentioned above.

In this chapter of the CREATRIX School we will look at how we can each find or create the right community for us, we will look at our personal strengths and the gifts we came to share with others (with some help from the Wheel of Colours) and we will see how we can form temporary alliances for a cause.

We will also look at how we can put our egos aside, what we can learn from being triggered, how we can collaborate with other people for a common cause, and why it is so important to look at the change we want to create (our goals) instead of what we wish to overcome.

If you are curious to find out how to make an impactful, confident and conscious life your new reality, then I’d love to welcome you to this new chapter in the CREATRIX School.

Learn how to build and contribute to strong communities & start creating the changes we need

In this chapter of the CREATRIX School (or 4-week course) we learn how we can build strong communities, we explore what our unique roles can be in these strong communities, what can contribute as our unique selves, and how we can best combine our powers and energies to create the changes we wish to see in our world (and not get triggered or distracted by personal issues).

Basically, this course can show you all you need to know to lead groups, clubs, communities, organisations or teams successfully, and wisely, for the highest good of all.

And if you like, you can also get a certificate for completing this chapter.

Extras

The Colour for this chapter is: white

The Colour White – Relationships & Conscious Connection

As human beings, we are made to be in relationship with each other, but some of us are more introvert and others more extrovert, some thrive when they have many people around them and others feel like they need to recharge after interacting with others.

Yet, we are meant to connect and to live with and support each other. We simply have to find out how each of us can do this best, and the qualities of the colour white can help us with that.

And so this makes white the ideal colour to support us in the COMMUNITY chapter.

My offer to you:

This was in Sweden, where I curated part of an exhibition – a community event for sure.

My experiences there, also led me to do a voluntary service year after graduating from High School, working with Roma communities in Ukraine.

I guess I was, what you would call, a natural leader. I was always honest, reliable and straightforward and people trusted me easily – because they could.

I was class representative most of my time in school, and even student school representative for some years.

And the second I started university, I began to work at a record shop, became a DJ and started hosting a radio show and got involved in the local music community, to lead in different ways.

But it didn’t stop there.

As I moved to other cities and places, I got involved in political work as well.

I organized queer parties and events, festivals, talks, movie nights, exhibitions and so much more.

I was able to work alone and with other groups and teams, and we were able to put together incredible events, often with almost no budget.

I also volunteered for and worked in different NGOs in Germany and Ukraine, until I eventually founded my own NGO and ran that for some years.

Later, when I worked as a web designer, I also mostly worked with and for organizations working in the field of anti-discrimination or for other political causes.

Over the years, I got to see a lot of the good, the bad and the ugly.

I saw how people almost lost their lives fighting for the causes they believed in.

I saw fights, struggles, quarrels, pure hate, fear, anger, determination, exhaustion, nervous break-downs, wins and defeats.

I actually changed my profession from being a web designer to becoming who I am today because I saw how much the people fighting to create positive change in the world, did not believe in themselves, or did not know how to take good care of themselves (me included), and therefore were not standing a chance to create change on the level that their efforts deserved.

After watching this and wondering what to do about it for more than ten years (as a web designer), I finally understood, something that is now one of my essential teachings: That we can only fully be there for others, once we know how to fully be there for ourselves.

So that’s where we will start in this chapter as well.

And if you’d like to learn how to become strong enough to help strengthen any community, then I’d love to take you on this journey with me.

Change isn’t easy, but it’s kind of like ripping off a band-aid.

It’s painful for a second, then it takes some patience and healing, but then you also feel fresh and renewed and like you’d never want to go back.

It does require some allowing and the bravery to do new things and begin to see things differently, but I promise you that you won’t regret it.

I’ve entered on my journey to become who I am now because I just wanted to be a little bit healthier and happier.

And so I began to look for ways to be that, which quickly turned into a couple of years of research and training.

I earned an M.A. in cultural anthropology and political sciences, so how people work in this world has always been my main point of interest.

If you’re interested in my formal qualifications, then you can find them on the about page.

But what I found out in the last couple of years of research, and what I didn’t learn at University, is, that with just a few specific changes in the way we think and act, everything in our lives can change for the better – and this is true for anyone who is willing to be honest with themselves and who is not afraid of change.

We can all live abundant, happy and healthy lives – all we have to do for this is to find out how and then practice it – and the how is waiting right here for you in the CREATRIX School.

We all need to learn how to best interact with other people – and seeing the division we are currently facing in society and where we are headed if we continue with things as they are – it will feel so freeing to know how you can actually be able to help, and begin contribute in a way that nourishes you, and doesn’t burn you out.

So, if you are looking to be better resourced, open, receptive and relaxed so that you can become all you can possibly be (and a lot more than you might now allow yourself to be now) and contribute with a full and open heart, then I’d be happy to guide you through this process of self-actualizing, becoming your best self, or your qu_ing self and begin to live the life, you know you are meant to live and open up to live and love fully and freely.

I can’t wait to welcome you to the CREATRIX School and to invite you to our wonderful and growing community of people who dare to be generous, happy and free!
