"Mareike asks the right questions from the very beginning. The work starts right away. Very empathetic, professional and with focus on giving you the tools you need to work things out and to become independent.

To work with Mareike - best investment in my life so far."

This is what a client told me some days ago.

I have space for a couple of more clients at the moment. Reach out for a free trial talk to see if this is fitting for you and what you want to work with.

What does it feel like when I go into a conversation and I am actually open to being changed by it forever? Thrilling!

And it takes a lot from me: I committ to regulating the fears that keep me in my current mindset and walk the line of the values and position I really want to stand up for and where I want to acknowledge the other persons's ground. I often need to clarify for me and the other where I dont yet feel heard or how I want to be communicated to.

When I committ to honoring myself and someone else a good deep conversation about our controversy becomes possible. They sometimes are worth the effort they take, not always.

I went to Tallinn last week for Burning Man Project's European Leadership Summit to facilitate a session with Daniel DeTerrence Brooks on "Prosocial Guidelines: Balancing Inclusion and accountability". It was a lot of fun talking to many people about how to deal with conflict and unacceptable behaviour in the burner community.

At the end of this week, I will lead another round of my favourite online course: Embodied Conflict Transformation: An online course.

This is a playground for growth, for getting to support so that we can rest more in moments of tension, for allowing expansion of our current mindset and for play.

If you have enough of the same re-occurring conflicts with friends in your life or want to be better at dealing with conflicts around you, this course is for you.

We meet for the first time on Sunday and are already a great group with some more space for more people.

Pm me if you are interested.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of profound self-discovery through the power of conflicts? If you've already delved into the depths of personal growth and feel prepared to take it to the next level, this course is for you.

Introducing my third annual online course on Embodied Conflict Transformation.

In a world where conflicts seem to be ever-present, mastering the art of conflict resolution is becoming increasingly vital. Are you seeking to handle conflicts in your life with grace and skill? Do you long to break free from the triggers that hold you back? Whether it is to transform and grow through conflicts in your relationships or to help mediate conflict at work or in your community, this course is for you who wants to learn with and from conflict.

In group sessions, we come together as a collective to explore the intricacies of conflict transformation. These sessions provide a supportive space for deep exploration and shared insights. You'll have the opportunity to learn from others, gain new perspectives, and cultivate a sense of community as we navigate this transformative journey together.

But the journey doesn't stop there. In individual coaching sessions we explore your specific needs and goals. Through one-on-one guidance and support, you'll delve even deeper into your own journey of self-discovery.

Join me and embrace the opportunity to transform conflicts into catalysts for growth and connection.

Enrollment is now open – secure your spot today and step into a future where conflicts no longer hold you back, but propel you forward towards greater understanding, harmony, and fulfillment. Don't miss out on this empowering journey!

INVITATION TO CIRCLING in Stockholm and Copenhagen

This is an invitation to come and enter the circling practice with me. I want to slow down with you to where we can each feel our body with each breath. The intimacy that comes when our awareness deepens and more of our experience reveals itself to us in each moment.

What is contact like when we can feel ourselves while being in contact? When we do not shut down or leave ourselves to be with someone else. In the space I invite you into we dare to be more truthful to our experience and trust the innocence of our aliveness. We trust and express our own truth.

Let us extend in the natural unfolding of our expression and deeper contact. More contact also means rubbing off, attracting, calling upon each other .. and also repell. With more presence and trust in the space, our contact with each other in each moment will lead us into seeing deeper truths about ourselves.

Embracing circling means embracing the unknown, relinquishing the confines of certainty for the expansiveness of intuition. It transcends the boundaries of linear thought, allowing our souls to roam freely and our bodies to inhabit the present moment without the constraints of rationality. In this space, our experiences need not adhere to logic; they simply exist, inviting us to explore the depths of our being.

Are you ready to embark on a journey towards heightened consciousness and deeper connections with others?

Join me for a transformative circling day at my home in Sickla, Stockholm, on Sunday, February 25th, from 12:00 to 17:00. Limited spots are available, so please reach out to me via private message if you're interested in participating.

Furthermore, mark your calendars for an enriching weekend in Copenhagen in May, where Mateusz and I will guide you through an immersive circling experience. Link in comment.

Do you find yourself struggling with addictions in your life? Do you not find yourself creating the life you want because of unhelpful behaviour? Are you tired of replacing one addiction with another everytime you quit?

Get to the bottom of why you develop addictions.

In our Presence Matters - Monthly Group Meetings: Addiction on the 11th december at 18.00 CET we explore the theme of addictions together in a compassionate space.

Most of us have one or several addictions that we struggle with. Einar and me will talk you through how shame and avoidance are at the core of addictions and how accountability is key in dealing with our addictions.

In this session we present an integral approach to addiction treatment and share some of the core reasons for why develop addictions. We will present a few models from research.

There will be time for us each to share about our personal journey with addictions in our life in a compassionate manner.
In exercises you get to explore how to work with your addictions.

In the past months, several people gave us the feedback that those monthly group meetings have been very enlightening and healing to them. In a space of compassion and connection you get to share and witness your and others personal journeys and learn models and concepts about important themes.

Couples and family sessions

I am enjoying a lot to work with couples and families in joined sessions at the moment.

Do you want to work on your relationship with your partner, sibling or parents?

One of the last couples, I worked with said this about my work with them:

"Mareike is a fantastic guide into and inside an emotional relational space. She helped me and my partner to work on our communication issues, and the resulting conflicts.

Mareike helped us to stay focused on the core topics that challenge our relationship and the emotions evolving this. A focus held by a great sense of zooming in and out on the full picture when needed.

With us we got some concrete advice on how to interact in new ways and take care of each other and ourselves.

I am very grateful and can highly recommend her."

SEE STRAIGHT - or what we do not get to change about our partner

Sometimes in my own life I catch myself thinking "Why can't my partner or friend not just be a bit more xzy?" and investing energy into painting a picture of a better relationship and life that we would have if they were just a bit more like this or that. And then I invest more and more into these ideas of how they could grow.

And yes, we have probably heard some podcast or read some book and can base our ideas on omplex understanding, knowledge and research. But NO, just because we do see some childish or unhealthy habbit in our partner or friends, we do not get to build a relationship on them changing or growing.

That is misplacing resposnibility for the relationship and our own life on to others or the future. We are in a relationship with all of our and the other's personality traits and habbits as they are right now.

Often when I work with couples or families, my work starts with setting us all straight for the process. Yes, you might be right with what you seen in your partner and NO, you are not their coach or therapist.

We need to be straight with ourselves about that we chose to be in relationship with someone because of their habits and charactertraits. These might even be the reason we chose them. Because they are different from us.

We get to address what we see in ourselves and what habbits or thoughts we want to change in our own life.

What thoughts or habbits do you want to let go or change?

The past two weeks I hosted a one-week gathering on the island of Ekskäret at the end of august and spent a weekend in Berlin with experimenting with a combination of circling and the aletheia coaching method.

I feel amazed by how our sensitivity in our body and mind can grow when we practice presence.

Let's take the theme of boundaries: With more sensitivity we might begin to notice all the moments in which we could set boundaries that would help us bring our intentions and power more into this world.

there are often small moments in which we collapse and lose energy because we are accepting something that does not actually really work for us.

Setting our boundaries and thus showing ourselves and what we want more, is a gift to the world. We can have a much bigger impact on the world and keep more energized with good boundaries.

I invite you to an explorative playground in which we can practice Boundary Work - Malmöon monday the 18th at Nära.
