A couple of weekends ago- the last day of 4-year gestalt therapy training with

What a bittersweet, challenging, expanding journey. And how else can a therapy training look like in this bittersweet world we share today?

I’m proud to keep choosing this vocation, and thankful for those who keep choosing to offer learning spaces, imperfectly, bravely and in tune with the times we are living in.

Now for some rest.

My heart also keeps being in Belgrade.

Ponosna sam i pratim i strepim. Delimo jedan svet. Vas aktivizam se oseca hiljadama kilometara daleko.

Ah, this has been one of my favs for a while. To me, it points towards the obviousness of human potential that makes it somehow hard to challenge. And yet it also carries some dark, potentially oppressive, undertones if swallowed whole, without paying attention to person’s situation.

What if (given your situation) what’s natural for you is (self/other) annihilation? What if, what comes with most ease is being in an abusive environment, as this is what you’ve always known as home, as safe?

This is where, there is perhaps some confusion between one’s needs and what feels natural- what one is used to. If you’ve spent a while, or a lifetime, or even a few lifetimes transgenerationally, not really being in touch with your needs, “do what comes naturally”, as benign as it might sound, can indeed kick you in the 🍑.

What this leaves me with today is an invitation to notice, playing, as much as you can, as a kind, curious and above all clueless stranger getting to meet yourself: how do I experience that which feels (or should feel) natural? As if you are genuinly meeting yourself for the fist time. Of course, this is not possible, but it can be a fruitful experiment to attempt it; pay attention to situations that feel (un)natural: what qualities do they have? What happens in your body as you are in them? What, perhaps new or slightly different, stories might you discover in meeting yourslelf like this?

As an optional soundtrack for this experiment, I’m offering this jewel from : search “Do what comes naturally” on Youtube, of follow the link to it in stories today.

We are so excited to share this project that has been long in the making for us both. This group space is born from our increasing awareness that group work, and especially group work that gives space to transgenerational suffering, in all its intersectionalities, is what’s needed for sufferings we co-create today.

Please share the post to help us spread the word and watch these spaces for more info soon 👀

Shoutout to for a fantastic edition of their journal exploring love. From their editorial team:

“this process has been a liberatory practice and queering experiment illuminating the unspoken inbetweens of love and oppression”

I mean…😍💖🍦

Also shoutout to Black Eyed Peas (cue in “Where is the love”), unknow artist in Noorderpark, bell hooks, and a dear friend who fiercely brought to my attention the lack of the explicit use of the word love in this field, that arguably, could not breathe air without it.

Welcome to Potentially Poop-y Advice Series, where I’ll be sharing a bunch of short & sweet advice I’ve stumbled upon on social media and IRL recently and open up a virtual space for reflection around the advice given. The aim of these posts is not at all to discard the potential validity and importance of the advice offered. I am assuming they are (mostly) coming from genuinly caring places.

The idea is simply to invite people reading them to 🥁: *chew on them*🥁. This expression comes from the gestalt world, and it quite viscerally describes the process of taking a bite of something (an advice/idea), spending some time seeing how it tastes to you and then choosing to either swallow it whole, spit all of it out, or swallow some if it and maybe pair it with an appropriate (for your taste buds) drink or dessert. This process will (probably) be unique for each one of us.

In an environment where we are offered so much information (there are beauties to this abundance) it’s an opportunity to slow down and give oneself a chance to really experience how do these words land into one’s living, challenging their universiality, and supporting the chewer to enjoy the feast of their living as per their taste buds.

Roots/ Routes

I saw this fallen tree as I was taking a chill walk with my kid the other day. The same week several news reached me of such profound acts of evil towards children living several thousand kilometers further to the east from this park.

I was listening to ‘s fantastic audio book “Unruly therapeutic”, where she generously offers this word play of roots/ routes.

The deep, tick roots of this tree are no longer giving it life. Yet, new lifes are unmistakany growing through this grave. New routes are emerging. Wilding their paths. For now, far less imposing, far more fragile. Not replacing what was lost, but continuing, somehow.

I’m left wondering:

What routes (if any?) my/yours/our roots open up?

What routes (if any?) do they close off?
