← CHAPTER OVERVIEW

There’s a right time for everything

Dear Creatrix,

How are you doing today?

Is your bedroom all set up for great sleep?

Are you committing to ruling over your devices from now on and not to let them rule over you any more?

What else have you learned, or what stood out to you the most in this chapter?

Before I started creating this course, I did not realize how much rest and valuing myself are connected, so there was a real shift taking place for myself over the course of these past three weeks.

When I opened this chapter in the CREATRIX School, I was still embarrassed to prioritize my needs, to say that I won’t eat after six, to say when I needed time for myself, and to even just value these things for myself.

So I’m very grateful for the opportunity to lead the CREATRIX School, to learn so much on the way, and that you are here with me, and beginning to become the CREATRIX of your life as well.

And I do hope that you share all that you learn and practice for yourself with those around you, who might want to live a more self-determined, happier and freer life themselves.

Today we are going to add one more thing to our raised awareness when it comes to rest and sleep, and that is to become conscious of the rhythm of the year.

The CREATRIX School is set up, so that within a year, we can work through all relevant topics in our lives and bring balance, clarity, love and confidence to them.

Each topic, each chapter, is designed to take you through the process of bringing clarity, confidence and connection to a different key area of your life within four weeks.

Of course, it might take a bit more than four weeks, when you look at a new topic for the first time, and depending on your personal schedule, when joining the membership programme you can really take as much time on each topic as you like.

But the curriculum is designed so that eventually, we can keep this up as a rhythm, making sure we bring and keep the balance in all areas of our lives, each year.

As this is the first year of the CREATRIX School, and I’m creating each topic and chapter as we go along, it’s been taking me a bit longer, as I also needed to take some breaks in between to be able to create valuable content.

But nonetheless, the content of the CREATRIX School is designed to go with the energies of the seasons and the natural rhythm of the year, so we can easily flow through life and the year, together.

A Year in the Creatrix School

1. Self-Actualize! // SELF
2. Reach Out! // COMMUNITY
3. Eat Well! // FOOD
4. Think Well! // MIND
5. Feel Well! // MOVEMENT
6. Relax!! // FAMILY
7. Believe! // PURPOSE
8. Connect! // FRIENDS
9. Ground Yourself! // HOME
10. Balance! // GROWTH
11. Energize! // PELATIONSHIPS
12. Integrate! // REST

From looking at the topics of the CREATRIX School, you can already get a bit of an idea about the different energies of each month, or moon cycle.

In today’s lesson, however, we will go even deeper and look at the seasons, our calendar and how it relates to the lunar or moon phases to see how we can harness the energy of the sun, and the seasons, and the moon.

Just like we already began to adjust our rhythm to the natural rhythm of the day, in this chapter, we will now see how we can also harness the energies of the year to support us best in our lives.

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

Starting today, and for the next four weeks, we will think about how we can be at our best with others and how we can use our unique abilities, gifts and talents to contribute to the greater good of all.

As the first week of each chapter in the CREATRIX School is all about assessing where we are, so we can let go of what doesn’t serve us any more, and invite more of what we do want, we start this chapter by looking at our hopes for the future of our world as well as the experiences we’ve made in community so far.

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

There are different ways for communities to be organized. Sometimes, all people are equal and come together to organize things as equals.

Sometimes, there’s an initiator, or someone who finances the project and other people who organize and implement it.

Sometimes, there are some people who are paid and other people who volunteer.

What are the different kinds of projects or communities you have been involved in, or would like to get involved in, in your life?

How do you envision our future?

It’s easy to think there are so many problems in this world – what am I supposed to do about it – I can’t do anything but make the best of it – and that’s true to some extent – but also not entirely.

Because we’re not just here to get by. We’re not just here to arrange ourselves with what is already here – we are life and a part of the great symphony of life that’s playing right now, in this moment, and we get to contribute to it.

How to learn to love triggers

In this lesson, we look at why it is so important to unite for a cause and not against someone or something – if we want to create lasting change – no matter how much we might disagree with them or something.

And we look at how love really is always the answer, even, or especially, when someone or something upsets us.

How can we create a real alternative to what we currently have?

In this lesson, we talk about how judgement can be a very useful tool on our journey to becoming our most authentic and best selves and create the communities we wish for, as long as we don’t use it to condemn other people or to establish superiority.

We also think about how every trigger is really here for us to grow, and not something to be afraid of or to avoid and how punishment, just like suppression, doesn’t lead to anything beautiful – and what we can do instead.

On Freedom, Responsibility and our Nature

In this lesson, we look at how freedom and responsibility are linked and what that has to do with consciousness.

And how with a raised consciousness also comes more freedom and thus, by raising our consciousness and finding more inner peace, we also obliterate the need for violence.

And we look at another essential thing, that will help us be more aware in our community interactions – our role as humans in nature, in this world.

What’s your unique superpower?

We start this lesson with a short review of what we’ve learned in the last few lessons to resolve the most common problems found in communities today.

And then we begin to look at our unique superpowers, so we can become more confident in the way we contribute to any community, group or project we choose to support.

What’s your favourite archetype?

In this lesson, we dive deeper into the roles we can inhabit in a group or community setting.

Are you better fit for a creative role or a leading role, or both, or something else?

Knowing what we are good at, and also thinking about what we would like to learn and grow into, can help us immensely to find our place in any community setting and to be able to contribute in the best possible way.

This is also a great resource if you’d ever like to start your own project or company and can help you make sure all vital roles will be covered so that the project can run in the best possible way.

What’s your (stress) archetype?

Of course, things don’t always go the way we want them too.

Sometimes we get stressed, overwhelmed, take on too much or don’t dare to step into our power.

But we can always change and learn and grow.

Looking at the Occasional Archetypes, like the thief, victim, fool, hero_ine, adventurer and so on can help us to recognize these archetypes in ourselves and others and help us to come back into balance, whenever we slip into them.
