CREATRIX School – 05 – Ground Yourself! // HOME

HOME // Ground yourself

Would you like to live in your dream home?

What if I told you that you’re closer to living in your dream home than you think?

You may not believe me.

To be honest, I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I had heard this, before I moved into the place I wanted to live in, within two months of saying so.

Or maybe you are already where you want to be, but you just don’t know how to turn your home into the sanctuary it could be – or haven’t taken the time to do so yet.

Just take a look around you, what do you like about your current home, and what do you dislike? What do you want to change?

I see people complaining about their living situation all the time: It’s too dark, there’s no bathtub/balcony/garden, it’s too small, too big, too much work, I don’t get along with my neighbours, it’s too loud and so on.

But few people are doing anything to change their situation – whether it is by changing their homes, or how they think about their homes.

As you are here, I know you are different.

You want to do something so you can start to turn your home into a sanctuary – a place full of great energy to support you, hold you and keep you safe and well so you can always energize, rest and recover there – and do whatever else you wish to do in your life.

Do you think that you don’t have the money to move into your dream home?

Do you think that you’ll never find the right property or flat in the current situation?

Do you think that maybe you might not deserve to live in the home that your heart truly desires?

In short: Is it seeming impossible to you right now to move into your dream home within the foreseeable future, or to turn your current home into a place where you can feely truly held and resourced?

I’d like to prove you wrong.

Because all you need to do to start living in your dream home, is a plan and to follow through with it.

If you are curious to find out how to start moving towards your dream home, and make living peacefully your new reality, then I’d love to invite you to this new chapter in the CREATRIX School.

Course Content

Learn how to turn your home into a sanctuary, a place to ground and resource yourself.

We all need a place to restore and resource ourselves. And there is no better place than our homes for that.

In this chapter of the CREATRIX School (or 4-week course), we explore how to let go of old assumptions, expectations and limitations when it comes to the way we live, how to fill our homes with love and how to create the most perfect and sustainable living circumstances for ourselves.

Individual courses are €30 each.

Membership options providing you with access to all 13 courses/chapters start at €15/month.

Access to this course is FREE for members of the CREATRIX School.
We will start this chapter with the New Moon on September 2nd, 2024.

Home – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

Our home, our environment, has a big impact on our well-being and the more love we put into the spaces we are in, the more love(d) we feel.

And to feel safe, relaxed and welcome, maybe even inspired, in our homes contributes to how we feel every day and thus has an impact on how we are and what, we think, is possible for us every day.

Homes, decorating and architecture, are some of my most favourite topics, and they are deeply connected to one of my callings as well, so, I’m very excited about this, and I hope you are too.

It’s going to be a fun, practical, theoretical and most probably enlightening experience, and you will have the possibility to really rethink a lot of the things you might have taken for granted so far.

Home – Week 1 – Pt. 2

HOW TO TURN YOUR HOME INTO A SANCTUARY

Today, we don’t necessarily feel obligated to follow any rules, obligations or traditions when it comes to how we want to live and so with that, we gain the ability to completely (re)invent our lives, the number of options may also easily seem overwhelming, so we choose something, without ever really being clear about the why and if it is really the right thing for us and not just what happened or a rebellion, or to please others after all.

But we can pause for a second and check in.

Because however, we choose to live or end up living, and however you live now or how you would like to live in the future, it’s essential to become conscious about what you do and why, to make confident decisions for the highest good of all – and so that you can thrive and be happy about your life and your choices.

And that’s what we will begin to do in this lesson.

Home – Week 1 – Pt. 3

Home – Week 1 – Pt. 3

HOW DO WE WANT TO LIVE?

Today, we’ll start looking at our current homes and see if we can detect some patterns of things that we’ve experienced in our past that we can also see in our current homes.

Because in the same way that we encounter the same issues we might have already had with our parents in every new relationship we’re in until we resolve them, the same way we may encounter the same issues in every house we move into until we resolve them.

So what do you like about your home and what bothers you?

And how does this relate to your past?

Home – Week 2 – Pt. 1

LET’S MAKE PEACE WITH WHAT IS

In this lesson, we have a closer look at the things that bother us in our current homes, and I show you how to make peace with them, because otherwise, even if we decide to move to a new place, we might bring the old problems, and annoyances with us because we create our realities.

And what’s resolved won’t bother us in our current or any future home we move into.

Home – Week 2 – Pt. 2

Home – Week 2 – Pt. 2

WHAT DOES YOUR HOME FEEL LIKE?

Today, we will have a look at what makes our homes come alive – again because it’s something that we will need to be conscious about, no matter where we decide to live.

As just like we fuel our bodies with food, we need to fill our homes with life and energy to make them what they are: homes and not just houses.

It’s exciting and possibly challenging.

Home – Week 2 – Pt. 3

Home – Week 2 – Pt. 3

LET’S MAKE YOUR HOME LOOK LIKE YOUR BEST-SELF LIVES THERE!

Now that we are pretty clear on everything that we consciously or unconsciously thought about homes, what and how they should be and hopefully found a way to make peace with our current living situation, or are consciously embarking on a journey to get there, or to a new place, it’s time to do some practical work.

Because we all can use an upgrade when it comes to energetically fuelling our homes and filling them with love and care (and before we do that, get rid of everything that we don’t need any more).

Home – Week 3 – Pt. 1

How can we fill our Homes with Love?

In this lesson, we begin to fill the space that we’ve created in the last lesson.

We explore how we can really connect to every element of our homes and make the best choices – the ones that make us really happy.

Because every little step counts.

Bringing in more love 🩷 🌷

We’re really getting into the details now because it’s not only the devil who’s in the detail, we can also fill every little detail with love.

We’ll explore our style and preferences and also talk about our intentions and how they can help us to make choices that we won’t regret later.

… and even more love for your home! ❤️

Today we are going on a field trip.

To find a few new things for our homes. But not just things, special items, the ones that make our hearts sing.

Maybe you need a hand made mug? Or a new vase? We’ll go explore flea markets and small businesses, as that is where the love is – and not with the chains and mass-produced objects.

What makes your heart sing?

The Colour for this chapter is: pink

The Colour Pink – Creativity, Innovation & Unique Expression

To thrive, create and manifest in life, we have to be true to ourselves and express ourselves freely and creatively.

This world is such a wonderful and beautiful place and we each have so much to offer to add to this beauty, not by trying, but simply by being ourselves.

Our unique way of expressing, of smiling, of seeing the world, of moving and of being is what allows us to find our unique spot in this world.

And it’s time for all of us to simply become ourselves and allow ourselves to show and express all the beauty we carry inside – and the colour pink supports us with that.

 

If anyone can learn this, why don’t they?

Because many people don’t believe that they have the power to change their lives.

Even if they haven’t even tried — yet. Or because they’ve tried it in ways that didn’t work for them, as they likely wanted too much too fast – or didn’t dare enough.

There’s a certain comfort in not taking full responsibility for the situation we’re in, by blaming our circumstances, upbringing or current world events – and believing that it’s not up to us to create the changes we need and seek.

But if we want to create changes, it’s always up to us to start – and if we initiate a positive change once, we also know we can do it again.

The CREATRIX School invites you to find out for yourself, that you have the power to change anything you don’t like about your life, by giving you the right exercises to try and see for yourself, what else could be possible if you dare to be your true and authentic self.

It’s revolutionary, yet also very practical and down to earth.

January - Self // Self-Actualize!

So, if you would like to have the best guidance for overcoming your challenges and discovering your superpowers now and if you would like to gain new skills and perspectives quickly, so you can begin to enjoy your life more, starting today, then this is for you.

I’d be happy to gracefully guide you through the process of your self-actualization, and to make this journey as easy, fun, exciting, surprising and successful for you, as possible.

Because I only went through a lot of these changes quite recently myself.

From my experience, I know that, to create the changes, we wish for in our lives, we have to begin by taking full responsibility for our thoughts, words and actions and start being honest with ourselves.

From here we can find our own unique ways to be ourselves, to laugh, to love, to learn, to open up and to enjoy trying something and failing at it, as much as we enjoy mastering it.

Everything in life happens for us, not to us.

Every experience, everything we try and fail at, helps us to learn and grow and be better next time.

Because, as humans, that’s what we are here on earth for:

To grow and to learn, and to show and share our unique gifts and beauty, so we can contribute to the whole in our own unique ways and for the highest good for all.

If we begin to recognize our purpose and see our journey through life as a self-actualization journey, that will eventually allow us to be our highest, truest, most relaxed and abundant qu_ing self, it also allows us to open up to joy and love and abundance in our lives a bit more every day.

Anyone can do this, really – and it can even be a lot of fun.

But it can also be difficult, to face our shadows and begin to transform them into light, especially if we’re on our own, or the people around us haven’t caught up with our wish for change yet.

So, to do this confidently and continuously until we reach true inner peace might take some practice and encouragement, which can be difficult to bring up on our own.

Also, most people simply don’t know where to begin or what to do exactly, or don’t have the money to work with a personal coach or teacher on these topics individually – for as long as it takes to create lasting changes.

Which is precisely why I founded the CREATRIX School.

This way, I can guide you through every step you need to take to get to where you want to go and bring clarity, confidence, joy, relaxation, abundance and playfulness into every area of your life – without having to pay full price for a personal coach.

Yet with the same success.

As every good coach will tell you, we are here to ask you the right questions, the answers you will always have to find for yourself.

And you do already have the answers.

You just haven’t taken the time, or had the right guide, or the confidence, to ask them and to listen for your answers.

But this can all change today.

Is this the right course for you?

You have everything it takes to live the life your soul desires, that makes you happy and fulfils you.

And the more you recognize and live that truth or knowing, the more confident you will become in walking your unique path, and the more balanced your life will become.

To live a fulfilled, happy and successful life, we each have to ask ourselves some questions and find our unique answers to them.

These questions have been asked again and again by wisdom seekers all around the world in all centuries of human history, and are as easy or as difficult as: “Who am I? Why am I here?”

Or: “What do I need to eat to be healthy?”

Or, as we will see in this chapter: “How can I use my thoughts, beliefs and actions to find or create the home I truly desire?”

And now it’s your turn to ask yourself these questions so you can walk through life having your own answers and with this knowing build a deep-rooted confidence and the understanding that you belong here and are exactly right as you are and where you are.

Once you have answered these questions for yourself and by yourself (though with guidance I provide for you in the CREATRIX School), you will find peace and calm and a sense of safety and clarity, that is difficult to imagine possible before you start to really dare to get to know your true self and to self-actualize.

Other people’s opinions, guidance and wisdom can be great and super helpful, but they never match your unique situation 100%, and so no guidance will ever be as good as the one you find within.

The trust, wisdom and confidence I experience now is something I wouldn’t have dared to imagine possible before I started my own self-actualization journey.

Real freedom, confidence & success are possible – for anyone who dares to look within and try new ways.

“I feel incredible now, but I was pretty insecure, doubtful and unhappy in my past.

Without that past, however, I wouldn’t be here now – I wouldn’t know what it takes to get here and what kind of change is possible.

I’ve learned a lot because of the hardships I endured in my past, especially from the most difficult parts.

Today, I am genuinely happy about everything that has happened in my life, even the challenges that have caused a lot of pain.

Because with every hurdle I overcame, new powers emerged and with every valley I crossed, the horizon opened up and showed me new options.

Today, I truly enjoy every step I take because I know it is and will continue to be worth it.”

And I’d love for you to be able to develop this sense of ease and joy about everything that happens in our lives as well, because we are all here to explore, learn and grow and not to have it all figured out already.

If you believe new opportunities are waiting here for you, if you’d like to start building a deep-rooted trust in yourself and your abilities – then this is the right course for you.

All you have to do is sign up, and you can get started today.

Isn’t it selfish to focus on myself?

January - Self // Self-Actualize!

Especially when there are other people out there who are struggling much more?

If you ask this question, aren’t you struggling yourself?

Don’t you find it difficult to sleep peacefully at night because you worry about your personal situation and/or the state of the world?

The thing is, we can only safely reach out a hand to other people if we stand strong ourselves.

It’s the same reason why we are told to put an oxygen mask on ourselves first, before we help others – because if we don’t have air, or energy or love, or food, or hope to sustain ourselves, we cannot inspire and support other people – sustainably.

Equally, we can only create a better and more equal world, if we ALL have access to all the resources we need to live free, happy and abundant lives.

It’s why I will always encourage you to share everything you learn in the CREATRIX School with other people.

Sharing what you’ve learned deepens your knowledge and holds you accountable, and it opens doors for others to see things in a new and more self-empowered way.

If we think that we can or need to change the opinion of others to create change – we enter into a frustrating and often violent game – and, most of the time, cause more damage than good.

If, however, we live what we preach and set an example, show other people how it can be done, we are so much more likely to succeed in creating the cahnges we seek.

The undeniable truth is, that to create change on the larger scale, we always have to start with ourselves – we have to be the change.

If we are strong, we can act powerfully, if we know how to be healthy, we can share that knowledge with others, if we love ourselves, we can share and give and receive love freely.

By embodying what we wish for, sharing what we have and giving freely, all that we want more of, can multiply indefinitely.

So, to create the change we wish for, we can only start by meeting our own needs first.

If we want to help other people, we have to know how to take care of ourselves.

Looking at it this way, we can realize that it’s never selfish to learn how to take good care of ourselves.

Everybody can have their dream job, live in their dream home and experience peace and joy – we just don’t all know how yet.

The reason why we have wars, exploitation, hate, fear, devastation, sickness, is because the people involved in these actions, don’t know how to solve things peacefully.

They are ruled by their egos.

But we, you and me, have a choice.

We can side with them, take sides, hate one and love the other – and with that continue to keep up a system that thinks killing, discrimination or exploitation of others can be justified – or we can feel helpless in the face of all the devastating things going on in the world, and so overwhelmed that we ignore it altogether or break down and become depressed.

Or we can choose to strengthen ourselves, to gently overcome our ego and begin to live a life in service for the highest good of all – as this is also what’s best for us, if we look at it from an enlightened and wise perspective.

So, which option do you think will bring the best results for you and all those whose lives you touch?

We can each make a start and begin to learn what it takes to live in peace with ourselves so that we can also live peacefully with other people.

Once we’ve discovered and live our purpose, our calling, our strength, our power, our unique gifts, we can share our knowledge and experiences with confidence so that, over time, all people who are interested and ready, will have access to the knowledge and can learn to live self-actualized, happy, healthy and successful lives.

In the end, it is up to each one of us to decide if it’s time to start living a life in which we can fully become ourselves, develop all our skills and ideas and grow with ease to live a life that matches our desires – and with that contribute to the well-being of all, or not.

No one will stop you, from becoming your true self, but you.

If you let other people and their opinions or judgement hold you back, it will not make you or them any happier or help you or them.

But if you want to begin changing your life for the better and inspire others to do the same – because they will see you change and shine and thrive, then you now have the opportunity to join the CREATRIX School, to bring peace, clarity, confidence, joy and abundance into every area of your life.

And you can easily find out if this is the right thing for you, by taking advantage of the free 30-day trial.

Do you want to begin living more joyfully and peacefully?

Is now the best time to start?

You will know that now is the right time to start opening up to the home you desire and to experiencing your home as a sanctuary, when you look around you and don’t feel completely happy about where you are and what you see. 

Just ask yourself: Is it time to turn your home into a sanctuary – a place where you can rest and recharge and feel well and safe, and like it could be the basis for you, from which you can take on any challenge you wish to overcome?

Now is the right time, to open this chapter in the CREATRIX School, and in your life, if you want to bring clarity, confidence and connection into your life and into your home.

Now is the right time, if you wish to create a home that is the basis for a life built on love, on understanding, on forgiveness and to be able to deal with whatever comes up feeling empowered and able to handle it, instead of insecure, or intimidated.

To dare to change something that has been a certain way for a big part of our lives might seem scary or challenging.

Yet, I dare you to try, as it is very possible to change things, and it is very freeing to feel empowered in a situation, that you thought you could not change.

Excuses as to why now is not the right time will always come up, but they are just what they are: EXCUSES.

In the end, the sooner you start to create a life according to your soul’s desire and align your body, mind and soul for your highest good and that of all, the sooner you will be able to fully enjoy your life as well.

So, let me give this question back to you:

Is it time for you to live in a way that nourishes you and makes you feel safe, happy, loved and at ease?

Is it time to start creating and living in the home of your dreams?

Then, yes, this is the very best time.

Am I the right guide for you?

Hi, I’m Verena and for many years I lived in a small flat in Berlin, dreaming about being closer to nature.

But I didn’t make that move until my partner and I broke up – two months after I sat down to write about my wishes for the future for the very first time in my life.

I will gladly tell you more about how exactly that happened in this chapter of the CREATRIX School – but what really amazed me, was that after taking the time to write down what I really wanted in life, it did all come into my life as well – almost magically.

And this can be true for you as well. As where our mind goes, our energy goes.

Verena Spilker stands smiling and thinks: Let's make this happen!

I love renovating & creating nice spaces!

Of course, it did not all come true for me within a day, or a week, but almost!

Before my dream home could manifest, I had some cleaning up and some visioning to do.

And not everything necessarily always happened in the way that I thought I wanted things to happen, but the more I cleaned up and made peace with my past, the more open, curios and conscious I became, the more things changed for the better in my life.

To be honest, in the beginning, 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 which let me to become the spiritual teacher and coach I am today.

Verena Spilker stands smiling and thinks: Let's make this happen!

And doing what it takes to get there.

I have an M.A. in anthropology and political sciences as well, so how people work has always been my main point of interest, but what I found out in the last couple of years of research, and what I didn’t learn in 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 not afraid of change.

If you’d like to know more about my formal qualifications, you can find them on the about page.

I also really love designing and renovating, and turning homes into sanctuaries is one of my greatest passions – something I was lucky enough to do multiple times.

So I’m happy to share a lot of practical knowledge with you in this chapter as well.

If you want to move into your dream home soon (and I can literally see your soul dancing and saying yes!) 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 were always meant to live.

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

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

🌈 You have the power to create your reality.

Are you ready to go deep?

The CREATRIX School isn’t for everyone.

But it’s for you if you are ready to go deep and (re)discover all that you’ve been hiding and running away from.

We can all live in Heaven on Earth, but first we have to learn how to forgive and love ourselves and begin to understand that everything in life happens for us, not to us.

We can become the CREATRIXES of our lives, but for that, we have to be honest, clean up our messes, become aware of how much power and influence we have through every thought we think and every word that we say.

If you are willing to take full responsibility for your life, and are ready and brave enough to begin living, acting and speaking as your authentic self, then, this is for you.

You don’t need to bring anything, I’ll guide you towards the questions you can ask yourself to begin to become your own best guide, trust your intuition and allow yourself to be fully YOU – and possibly find love, happiness, freedom, creative expression and all that you’ve been wishing for on the way.

How Does the creatrix school work?

Every course covers a different topic or area of our lives, but is structured similarly:

In the first week, we assess what we have in life right now regarding each topic and begin to think about what we would like to have instead.

In the second week, we turn to our past and clean up, so we can let go of what doesn’t serve us any more, find hidden assumptions that have been blocking us and drop the baggage that has been making our lives difficult and heavy.

In the third week, we focus on what we want to create now and begin to take the steps that will get us where we want to go. That might mean acquiring new skills, reaching out to new people, cleaning up our homes, doing exercises, making art, taking on new practices and so on.

In the last week, we reflect and integrate. Because that is just as important as doing the work if we want to create lasting change.

 

Each week is split up into three separate lessons, which you find on this page.

To read the content takes between 5 and 20 minutes, depending on whether it’s more practical or theoretical.

To follow along 30 minutes will be your minimum weekly time investment.

But just reading the content will only bring you minimum results.

Every lesson comes with exercises and questions for you to work on.

The more time you invest here, the deeper you go, the better your results will be.

Don’t let this time commitment discourage you, though.

This is an investment you make now, which will save you tons of time in the future.

Because if you invest time now, to find clarity about your life and your desires, you will win this time back many times: by not making the same mistakes over and over again, by knowing what to do and how and by simply being good to yourself instead of boycotting what you really want with distractions, avoidance and procrastination.

What else is included?

Each course or chapter comes with a playlist, recipes and rituals, so we can use all our senses to joyfully integrate the topics we are working on.

This also helps to make the changes we create on the inside visible on the outside.

We will also refer to some chapters of my upcoming qu_ing book, which you will get access to through the course content, and in some chapters we will work with the Archetype Oracle Cards Deck I created.

The cards and descriptions we’ll be using will also be made available to print if you join the CREATRIX School.

There is a private Facebook Group you will be invited to join, and I offer bi-weekly Q&As, so you can get all the questions answers that might come up along the way.

In some chapters, we will also look at our individual Wheel of Colours, as it is a super useful tool to bring more clarity into our lives and to find out what we each need in certain situations.

As I make the Wheel of Colours individually for each person, it’s not included in all course packages, but you will get a discount if you join the CREATRIX School. And you can also participate without knowing your Wheel of Colours. It might just be more fun.

Now all that’s left for you to do is to join and see for yourself.
