In Switzerland, bogged down, off to Portugal

++German Version above++

Switzerland

Two months have passed since I spent time once again at my beloved Schweibenalp. This time, I once again formed deep connections, initiated many processes within myself, and experienced a great deal of devotion. I am approaching the next stage of this journey with a sense of abundance and confidence. It will take me directly to Tamera, Portugal, within two weeks.

New experiences

Tamera is a community that wants to promote the idea of peace and living in harmony with nature and to implement this in the world. I am expected there for two weeks to harvest olives, but I know that many new insights and experiences await me there as well.

What fulfills me

I feel that the idea of community with a common goal could become something essential for me. Living and working in an environment that focuses on mutual well-being, growth in coexistence and relationships, and thus on changing this world towards peace and health, ways out of patriarchy, allows me to feel true fulfillment in my heart.

So, with eager anticipation, I am now on my way through southern France and Spain to my destination.

Old fears

Since I've been on the road again, I've noticed how I still feel uneasy when standing freely in the camper. It's this belief that keeps coming back, that the world is a bad place and that no matter where I am, danger is always lurking. This is actually completely at odds with my worldview, but here in real life in the van, I am clearly confronted with these fears. I'm working on not letting them change or abandon my plans. The beautiful moments and places I see and experience every day make up for so much, and a fearful night when the wind is howling and strange noises can be heard outside fortunately loses its significance, or rather, I face it with the awareness that “bad” things are not waiting for me everywhere.

Off to the south

I am looking forward to heading for warmer climes and have already spent a few hours on the beach in the south of France and Spain. Beautiful sunsets and stunning mountain landscapes in the national parks.

Routines and Jomo

This time, I'm also taking plenty of time to rest. I'm not trying to take in every attraction along the way and muster up the energy for sightseeing after hours of driving. Instead, I'm focusing on recharging my batteries, getting back in touch with myself, feeling myself, living my routines, and reminding myself that even when I'm not “working,” it doesn't mean I'm not accomplishing anything or that a day can't be exhausting.

So much is changing within me right now, and I am allowing myself to question many beliefs, ingrained thought patterns, and social norms. So I look forward to the next few weeks with happiness, a thirst for adventure, and healthy respect, and I look forward to the growth that still awaits me.

With love
