← CHAPTER OVERVIEW

Let’s take a break – and make this a practice

Dear Creatrix,

What excuses did you come up with?

Why is it difficult for YOU to allow yourself space and time to relax, meditate and be still?

Before we talk about this more and find out what we can do about it, I would like to finish off this week with a short break and a text I found that I think fits here quite well.

The way capitalism, colonialization and the ideologies of the west have raised us, we push, we pull, we move things quickly, and we have a hard time allowing for change and things to come to us when the time is right.

But times are changing, and this is wonderful news.

And it is also wonderful that there are still some people among us, who know how to live with the energies of the universe and who can become our greatest teachers now, as we shift into a time, that aligns us again with the natural rhythms and allows us to understand ourselves as a part of nature itself.

„My people are not threatened by silence. They are completely at home in it. They have lived for thousands of years with Nature’s quietness. My people today recognise and experience in this quietness the great Life-Giving Spirit, the Father of us all.

It is easy for me to experience God’s presence.

When I am out hunting, when I am in the bush, among the trees, on a hill or by a billabong; these are the times when I can simply be in God’s presence.

My people have been so aware of Nature. It is natural that we will feel close to the Creator. Our Aboriginal culture has taught us to be still and to wait. We do not try to hurry things up. We let them follow their natural course – like the seasons. We watch the moon in each of its phases. We wait for the rain to fill our rivers and water the thirsty earth…

When twilight comes, we prepare for the night. At dawn we rise with the sun.

We watch the bush foods and wait for them to ripen before we gather them. We wait for our young people as they grow, stage by stage, through their initiation ceremonies. When a relation dies, we wait a long time with the sorrow. We own our grief and allow it to heal slowly.

We wait for the right time for our ceremonies and our meetings.

The right people must be present. Everything must be done in the proper way. Careful preparations must be made. We don’t mind waiting, because we want things to be done with care.

We don’t like to hurry. There is nothing more important than what we are attending to. There is nothing more urgent that we must hurry away for.

We wait on God, too. His time is the right time. We wait for him to make his word clear to us. We don’t worry. We know that in time and in the spirit of dadirri (that deep listening and quiet stillness) his way will be clear.

We are river people. We cannot hurry the river. We have to move with its current and understand its ways.

We hope that the people of Australia will wait. Not so much waiting for us – to catch up – but waiting with us, as we find our pace in this world.

If you stay closely united, you are like a tree, standing in the middle of a bushfire sweeping through the timber. The leaves are scorched and the tough bark is scarred and burnt; but inside the tree the sap is still flowing, and under the ground the roots are still strong.

Like that tree, you have endured the flames, and you still have the power to be reborn.

Our culture is different. We are asking our fellow Australians to take time to know us; to be still and to listen to us.“

So while this text comes from a quite specific context, what I think this text shows us more than anything, is re…

🌈 You have the power to create your reality.

Body – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a new chapter in the CREATRIX School

Our lives are such incredible miracles.

Everything is moving, is changing at all times. We are always in motion, life is always in motion. Life is motion.

And we will become more familiar with the motion of our bodies, and what we like about them and what we need them for, and how we can influence their well-being, and our natural, radiant beauty in the best possible way in this chapter.

In this lesson, we start by becoming more familiar with the topic and also more aware of our bodies.

Body – Week 1 – Pt. 2

How do our bodies interact with this world?

In this lesson, we explore what it means to experience our bodies in interaction with the world.

How do people see you, and how do you see yourself? Why does this matter?

And how would you like to be seen by the world? Let’s find out!

Mindfulness – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Mindfulness – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a new chapter in the creatrix school

What does mindfulness actually mean? And how can you become more mindful?

Mindfulness can become an integral part of our lives, it’s not a practice, that’s separate from anything else.

And we will actually start right away, by noticing how we talk to ourselves and seeing how we can begin to stop judging ourselves.

Mindfulness – Week 1 – Pt. 2

Mindfulness – Week 1 – Pt. 2

How to overcome negative thinking

One of the most common obstacles we encounter on our way to living our best life or the life of our dreams is negative thinking.

In this lesson, we will look at where it comes from, why we’re so used to it, and how we can overcome it – because we won’t ever feel better or do better, because we are shaming, judging or punishing ourselves.

Mindfulness – Week 1 – Pt. 3

Mindfulness – Week 1 – Pt. 3

Everybody is Always Doing Their Best, Including You

In this lesson, we go even deeper, by exploring how we are really all doing our best at all time – because we are.

the more conscious and aware we become of what we do and why, the better we can choose, so we will start with becoming aware of how what we want shapes what we choose and how that creates our expereiences.

You Are Perfect ❤️

What is the first thing that comes to your mind, when you hear that you are perfect?
That you’re not perfect?

That you couldn’t be perfect because you made this mistake or didn’t do something like you were supposed to?

That you couldn’t be perfect because there was a time when you disappointed or hurt someone?

What if I told you that none of that mattered and that you are perfect, no matter what you do?

What if I shared with you that we are each perfect, exactly the way we are, simply because we exist?

Food – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Food – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a new chapter in the CREATRIX School

This is going to be exciting! We will look at our food stories, and how care and nourishment and food are connected, we will see what we need to have a healthy diet – and mindset, and how to create a sacred and mindful kitchen.

And, in this lesson, we look at all of these topics a little bit, to become more familiar with these topics and to be able to set our goals for this chapter well.

Food – Week 1 – Pt. 2

Food – Week 1 – Pt. 2

Let’s explore our food stories

In this lesson, we explore how our past influences our present.

We will look at our relationship to food growing up and how this still shows in our present, and then we will look at what that tells us about how we deal with our emotions now.

Do we try to use food to emotionally regulate? Because bringing awareness to this, is the first step to creating healthier eating patterns.

Ritual: Connecting without Recreational Drugs

Ritual: Connecting without Recreational Drugs

Let’s make new friends – while being sober.

Drinking alcohol seems like such a normal part of the lives of many. Just looking for stock photos of ‘friends’, it’s difficult to find pictures without alcoholic beverages in them.

We get offered free drinks at restaurants, and often people act as if you are insulting them, if you don’t choose to have a drink with them. But we don’t have to be an alcoholic to not want to drink. We may simply wish not to cause unnatural highs and lows, that don’t serve us.

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

In this chapter, we are going to focus on the friendships in our lives and how we can make new friends, in any phase of our lives, and how we can grow and also heal with with our friends.

And we will start this chapter by asking ourselves some questions to find out where we are and where we would like to go in terms of friendships and true connection.

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 2

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 2

How can we overcome loneliness? 🩷

Let’s explore more of what we are wishing for and see how we can overcome loneliness – individually and collectively.

Because we do all need each other. Friendships can bring us closer to our shadows, and they can help us heal. More friends are not necessarily better than a few good ones – and in the end, it all boils down to what we really wish for.
What’s that for you?
