Until the first meeting on April 17 please introduce yourself here, saying a few words about yourself, and if you feel like it add a picture with yourself on it doing something you love to do!

Never used padlet before?

peter_hofmann — 2020-04-10 09:05:05 UTC

It's like an online post-it board, but you can add photos, links, videos too. This one is ordered in columns. Hover above a column and scroll down, and you will see more things.
You can add a post by pressing the + button below each column. Each column is like a category - so please stay within the column if it fits there (like presenting yourself under "Our community", reflections to a question in this column and so on).
If you want to make a comment to a post of someone else you see below the post the possibility to add a comment.
Please register in Padlet - in this way we can always see who made a comment or a post. Otherwise it says "Anonymous" has written something---))! Thank you!

Dancing for me means checking in with life at its best;-) and meeting people at their best ;-);-);-) Anything that has to do with music is a true treat for me. I love to enjoy, laugh and find the beauty in things and specially in the attentions amongst people.

Great to be a part of something that is borning :)
Living in one of National parks in LATVIA with my family (3 kids). We are homeschoolers. In past worked in education / culture education, also as principal. I see, that a lot around us is not sustainable, also education systems, therefore I can't more work in that structure and decide to left it 8 month ago. Now writing blog and prepering for building ecosystems (village, education e.t.c.).

tmuster — 2020-04-17 11:37:45 UTC

I am Tobias, from the Tyrol, Austria. Most of my work life I have been a youth social worker in different positions. Now I am about to become self-employed as a nature- and hiking-guide and educator (social work, community work, sustainable development). I really enjoy being in nature and right now I'm spending lots of my time in my small vegetable garden.

Getting inspired

Hello from Latvia

elinaondrupe — 2020-04-17 11:43:42 UTC

I'm happy to be here. I'm curious and in love with spring. Currently writing my master thesis about running practice geography in city environment, but I choose to be in nature whenever I can! Love to swim, dance, walk, explore places near me I have never been. I'm interested in new forms of education and sustainable living now and in the future. So I'm here to learn from you all:)

opening up...

veronique1387 — 2020-04-17 11:52:07 UTC

Hi there! Happy to be here but also sad it's not happening face to face... Anyway, it will be great to meet you while hiking, cycling or camping in nature! Apart from that I like slow travelling (workcamps, hikes in the mountains), handcraft and DIY. I like to follow my "dreams" and challenge myself :-) Recently, I have worked in the field of education - and realised I don't fit into formal and rigid scheme (so I found myself in cross-border projects). Looking forward to our conversations & project journey!

obrpetra — 2020-04-17 12:18:16 UTC

Hi everyone, in pre-covid world I used to work as a tour leader in Asia but now I'm coming back to my old job of animator/illustrator. I love mountains and all about that - camping, hiking, watching the stars... Beside that I'm addicted to riding motorbike, I'm persuading myself every morning to do yoga and I've just started experimenting with paper cutting, natural colours and gardening.

It takes time.

Share here a little story - about your inner practice and how did it influence you.

peter_hofmann — 2020-04-22 09:49:06 UTC

Something like our stories in the Inner Pathways book. (You can be much more essential/shorter. :-))

Where to get Contacts - if they are shared:-)?

training_barasb — 2020-04-27 14:53:52 UTC

I might have missed it, than sorry but where can we get a list of names and ideally a contact- e.mail of our group? Not just for contacting my Peer Person:-)

Schau auf dich, Schau auf mich:-)

training_barasb — 2020-04-27 14:58:17 UTC

This "Motto" we hear and see a lot in Austria in the "times of Corona" and I like the message behind. Translated it would be something like: "Through taking care of yourself, you also take care of me/myself".

Get more foccussed - in and out:-)

Open when there is a light, when the Sun (Energy) goes down- close up. Like this Tulip...

This is me, I am beautiful, specially when playing outdoors, specially when being naked, dancing and chanting on top of trees. This is me, coming home.

Strolling around

tmuster — 2020-04-29 19:32:03 UTC

in nature with no particular destination I find particularly nourishing, just following my curiosity of "I wanna go up there", "I wanna follow that path". This way, I have found some of my favourite regeneration spots that have accompanied me throughout my life.

Finding time to be creative or doing crafts

rialettner — 2020-04-30 15:21:31 UTC

I find calm and new energy in activities that allow to put your brain in the hammock ;-) For me that might be gardening, cooking (especially with the harvest of my little garden), playing saxophone or practising yoga.

Moving and pausing.

elinaondrupe — 2020-05-02 20:45:52 UTC

Movement. Jogging as my new regenerative tool - unexpectedly effective.
Forest. To stand there still together with pine trees and feel enough, free, balanced.

Any reflections connected to the "4 unfinished sentences" exercise from Joanna Macy are greatly appreciated!

peter_hofmann — 2020-05-05 14:56:55 UTC

Reflection to practise

fleurdeliscz — 2020-05-11 19:04:47 UTC

Hey :) So I learned form last time, and this time did the practise first. I noticed, how hard it is for to me focus fully even on two senses at a time, let alone all. But I am planning to experiment with it, is sound exciting. Do you have any tips or your experiences with that? :)

Marco from Italy

permaculturaetransizione — 2020-05-13 14:22:27 UTC

Ciao!
I am Italian. After 10 years of living in UK, I moved back to my hometown. While I was living in the UK, I discovered one of the things that changed my life: permaculture. At that time I was doing something else. Nothing related to sustainibility, ecology, regeneration. So, one day I went to the London Permaculture Festival and the following day I handed in my resignation letter. My journey had just begun!
Since then life has been incredible: Permaculture Design Course, Transition Launch, International Permaculture Conference UK2015, forest garden, community building, social allotments, facilitation, sociocracy, Permaculture Teacher Training, Dragon Dreaming etc

I dived deeper into Joanna Macy's work. How inspiring! I really recommend to check the exerci

We, the team of Inner Pathways, are happy to receive your feedback

peter_hofmann — 2020-05-18 17:09:20 UTC

What in the process so far (inhale sessions, exhale invitations) supported you well in your learning journey? What would you need or wish differently?

Support received and Needs:

benkaruan — 2020-05-27 08:28:01 UTC

I am walking this path of self-awareness and stumbling to find presence on a daily basis. My stillness has been developed through the practices shared and added to my repertoire, making me feel more capable. Knowing I had the website with resources, my buddy and my team there to have a chat has made the journey safer, as I knew I could rely on that. Thanks a lot. I need to believe I am loved and continue trusting that this process is a path that is guiding us somewhere beautiful...

Invitation to share images and reflections around your seeds

peter_hofmann — 2020-06-05 10:39:29 UTC

This could be pictures from your artistic work during the inhale session 4 or photos from your REAL planted seeds and what grows out of it ... or any reflections you have around the seed-topic - your seed inside yourself wanting to develop into a unique response or.......

2020-06-06 11:34:28 UTC

Excited!

Sharing from the inhale session

Here is space for sharing drawings, notes and any other wisdom coming out of the Wisdom Café!

Vulnerability

Helena_Czechia — 2020-06-14 17:11:25 UTC

- In order to be authentic and honest with the others, I need to by honest with myself.
- I need to take care of the safe space within me, in order to feel safe to share my vulnerability in a group.
- Sharing with others what was hidden for long time can bring release and joy.
- When it seems there is nothing to share... it might be that there is a lot to share.
- When doing something, I have some ambitions and I have some capacities. These are not always balanced and it is useful to look at it honestly time by time and share with others.
- Allow yourself not to be perfect, to stay with 'I don't know'?
- And ask yourself a question: Why do I do this? Why really? What is my deep motivation?

Creating safe space

zvejnieceilze — 2020-06-28 07:57:02 UTC

* First to have a confidentiality contract within the group.
Take tame to create intimacy. For example clarify frustrations within the group.
* The host is open to share vulnerability. The host is present and determined.
* Taking a role as a mother within the group to create a feeling of a family. To personally welcome every participant and offer a tea.
* Inviting participants to join and help in the process. Try to do "normal" everyday stuff so it feels like "real" life.
* Time. Informal time together with each other. Time for sharing. Lack of time stops from openly sharing.
* Create opportunity for participants to do a practical non-formal task together which helps to establish personal contact.
* To notice how precious the time we spend together is.
* When sharing in the group the host emphhesizes how important each sharing is.
* Setting the room. Circle for each participant to see each other.
* Include elements of body connection (if it feels safe and according to contect)
