Possibly a physical meeting with forest baths and creative work during a weekend or midweek in a beautiful location in FlandersĪ journey never ends and some of the effects of such connections and processes are sometimes only visible after a long time, but after ten months we want some 'tangible' gifts that we can share with others in the next dreamtime.
This means that together - for each participant - we will find out to which old region / regions we belong today.Ģ1 February to 21 December 2021 + 1 follow-up in 2022ĭates: Third Sunday of the month, except July In this experience, I combine my two medicines to dig with you what we can learn from the old stories of our region / regions to stand more firmly in the present and the future, regardless of the ecological, social and personal crises. So I am looking for like-minded souls in the Netherlands and Flanders, who would like to meet each other online every month and want to deepen their creative energy and critical reflections by means of forest bathing, writing and / or drawing. I am going to organize monthly meetings, where we think about what a post-heroic story or retelling can mean for our Flemish and Dutch landscapes, where we can dream and share together. In this second year I want to bring others with me. My search is not over yet: such journeys are spiral. By working with those stories and even rewriting them and calibrating my own experiences and observations, I found grounding and comfort and got to know my authentic self better. I sought refuge in retelling old stories, old enough to contain a certain wisdom.
Through these experiences I deepened my journey and rediscovered Flemish nature: the beauty, but also the problems. Last year I mainly wrote and shared retellings of Flemish folk tales, European fairy tales and Japanese myths on my Instagram account, often inspired by observations during forest baths and other nature experiences. I then applied my two medications to myself. I was on the brink of a nervous breakdown myself: the workload in Japan had worn me out. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, I stayed longer than I expected in my 'home': the Kempen. After living in Thailand and Japan for years, I returned to Belgium at the end of February 2020. I myself have been working on two passions, or two 'medicines' for years: storytelling and storydoing. Maybe you belong - like me - to different places, because you have lived in different places and have given and taken from that place and the people there (knowledge, energy, money…).Ī Healing Journey: Rediscovering Your Roots One reason may be that you don't know where your roots are. Loneliness isn't about being alone, it's about feeling like you don't belong. These are two of the first questions that are asked of a new acquaintance. Yet it is often seen that people like to say where they live and where they come from. Now people no longer live in the same place. There was not only a relationship between the individual and the community, but also a relationship on an even deeper level between the individual and the ancestral soil, the region from which one came. An almost physical bond had grown between man 'and the earth that saw him come into the world'.
In the past, people were born wherever they would grow up.
