Ever attended a Non-Violent Communication (NVC) class? Well, now I have! I think if people haven’t done some type of therapy, they may not get the format of the class, which was formatted like a therapy session, with a Check-In … Continue reading
A big part of me has been wondering why I don’t seem as inspired to write lately, and it dawned on me this morning that it’s because I have been going inward. I am seeking my own companionship instead of … Continue reading
What we see is what we are. I was thinking today of anger, and people’s reactions to anger. Just like when someone says, “He who smelled it, dealt it,” the same can go for someone who sees a certain emotion … Continue reading
It is very hard to sit with ourselves. I found that when I committed to having several days to myself (save some counseling appointments and some errands), I was acutely aware of the urge to avoid myself. I touched on … Continue reading

For all the times I had no voice, for the spirit within that is unseen, unacknowledged, unheard. For all women and the times they had no voice.

Vit Gestalt performance from Karolin Kent on Vimeo.
Excerpt from the site:
‘Vit gestalt’ is inspired by the research around the issue of female oppression within societies. This piece discusses her social restrictions whilst portraying her as a proud and strong creature, fighting for recognition. Kent utilizes the mediums of performance and live-art in order to discuss this matter. ‘Vit gestalt’ delivers a strong visual and expressive image by blending subtle and grotesque expression, through a structured improvisation of movement and voice.
Performance at Halmstad gatuteaterfestival 2012

I have found myself lately wanting to be alone, not to avoid others, but to truly BE with myself. I have so often over the years kept myself too busy and too distracted to spend valuable time with myself getting to know ME.
As my moon cycle approaches, and shifts are happening in my life, I feel a definite pull inward. Before, I would have pushed myself to do, do, do. Now, I am happy to have a good chunk of the day to relax with myself, and to honor my own personal ebb and flow.
I may even kidnap myself away for the rest of the week, like I would a lover on a honeymoon. Yes, a Self-Cation!
Going inward…. let’s catch up when I emerge.
