Dear friends,
Today it is exactly 3 months ago that I arrived in Damanhur. Today is the first day I don't participate anymore in the schedule of working the fields, following the courses, having batito's (literally 'heartbeat', a weekly get together and update) with the other 'New Lifers'. The last months I have been feeling this end of this period coming closer and I have made decisions on where to move after this first trial period. I have decided to stay here. Last week we celebrated the Solstice, the 'zonnewende' in Dutch. The moment the of the longest day of the year, the moment the distance between the earth and the Sun stops changing and the Sun changes direction in respect to the earth. A moment of opening. A moment in which all on earth aligns. Nature with cosmos. I decided then to choose to stay here. To apply for citizen A, as it is called, to be an active participant and inhabitant of the community. The next day I was invited by the school to work for them in August, as a trial period, to start making the Damanhurian school a bilingual school. I am very exited about that and very grateful that this great opportunity has arisen. I will work for 4 hours per day. The rest of the day I will be working on other projects, like creative projects I wrote about before.
I have had the most incredible experiences last weeks. Of course the decision to stay here has been very impressive, my father has visited Damanhur, and I believe I haven't written after my mother and Nanette (my sister) were here. They were happy to be here and could very much understand that I feel in place here. It was wonderful to share this with them. I have experienced details of past lives, in a course I followed last weekend and I have visited newly found crop circles in the vicinity of Turin yesterday night. That was truly an amazing experience, especially to channel their messages together with the other people we were with.
This afternoon I have a meeting with Katinka, a great Hungarian actress. She wants to perform in Hungary with the concept of Lila and the Magic Suitcase. I am really exited to make arrangements for that too!
And now I am so fulfilled, and also ready for a break! The next 3 days I will be at the beach, near Genova. And in July I'll be in Holland for a while. I hope we'll meet soon,
With you,
Karin

DeleteWow Karin... Dat betekent dat je daar gelukkig bent. Fijn. Welke talen worden er op de Damanhur school gesproken behalve Italiaans? Goed om te lezen dat je kindervoorstellingen nog steeds levend zijn. Lila in Hongarije... super!
ReplyDeleteGeniet, liefs Carool.
Dankjewel voor t meeleven! Op de school wordt alleen Italiaans gesproken nu maar ze willen er Engels aan toe voegen. Hoe gaat ie met jou? Werk je nog af en toe in de winkel? Alles goed nog op de Keizersgracht of al n andere plek met Sjeng gevonden? Liefs!
