As a result of the actions taken by the Green Tent Circle all collaboration with the GTC ends effective immediately. 
​
​I am grateful for the time working together and the gift of being allowed to learn from the members of the circle.

​I wish the Green Tent Circle all the best in their future endeavours.

A New Blog - Arsarnerit

1/27/2025

I have started learning Greenlandic more than a year ago. Due to circumstances in my personal life it is taking longer than I am used to when learning a new language. I will talk about as to why on LearnToBloom, an organization and circle I am building at the moment. It aims at helping victims of narcissistic abuse finding their footing in life again, plant roots, grow, blossom and bloom. 

There is a new blog on Winterfire, one of my circles. I am blogging in Greenlandic. I am learning Greenlandic by reading and writing. I also speak Swedish and Danish, so learning by reading texts, books and newspaper articles side by side is no problem.

If you want to help me learn Greenlandic, let me know.

Yes, I also learn in the cafés - my offices - I frequent. I do not only draw there, but I also learn Greenlandic and work on articles. It leads to interesting conversations.

Ich habe vor über einem Jahr begonnen, Grönländisch zu lernen. Es braucht länger, die Sprache zu lernen, als ich es von mir gewohnt bin. Das hat mit Veränderungen und Geschehnissen in meinem Umfeld zu tun. Ich werde darüber auf LearnToBloom schreiben. LearnToBloom ist eine Organisation und ein Kreis, der Opfern von Missbrauch durch Narzissten dabei hilft, wieder Fuß im Leben zu fassen, Wurzeln zu bilden, zu wachsen und aufzublühen. 

Es gibt auf Winterfeuer einen neuen Blog. Ich blogge auf Grönländisch, um die Sprache besser zu lernen. Ich schreibe und lese und lerne, indem ich Zeitungsartikel und Bücher nebeneinander liegen habe und beides lese. Ich spreche auch Schwedisch und Dänisch, daher ist das kein Problem.

Falls mir jemand dabei helfen möchte, Grönländisch zu lernen, meldet euch.

Ja, ich lerne auch in den Cafés, in denen ich zeichnenderweise zu finden bin. Es führt zu interessanten Gesprächen.

I started working on LearnToBloom in the early 2000's. Those who are walking with me know the flower ceremonies. This is one of the paintings from back then. Oil pastels. Yes, the paintings and drawings are still around. As are the concepts and teachings.

Working in Wolfsberg, Austria (07 - 10 January)

1/3/2025

0 Comments

 
I will be working in Wolfsberg (Carinthia, Austria) again for a few days (07 - 10 January 2025). If you are interested in an individual or group session, send me a message via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or E-mail. I am looking forward to meeting and walking together with you for a spell!​

I'll be drawing, too, of course, so if you want me to draw your spirit animal, send me a message and we can arrange a meeting.

You will be able to find me drawing in Hotel, Café & Konditorei Hecher. They serve the best Cardinal Slices in Austria. Cardinal Slices are a mixture of sponge cake, meringue that is soft on the inside and crispy on the outside and coffee cream. Now combine that with a fresh cup of steaming hot coffee and you will experience every coffee afficionado’s dream.

Ich arbeite vom 07. bis zum 10. Jänner 2025 wieder für ein paar Tage  in Wolfsberg in Kärnten. Bei Interesse an einer Einzel- oder Gruppensitzung meldet euch gerne via Messenger, WhatsApp oder  E-Mail. Ich freue mich darauf, euch kennenzulernen und gemeinsam ein Stück des Weges zu wandern!

Ich werde natürlich auch zeichnen. Falls also jemand von euch Interesse daran hat, dass ich sein Krafttier male, gebt Bescheid und wir machen uns einen Termin aus.

Ihr könnt mich zeichnenderweise im Hotel, Café & Konditorei Hecher finden. Dort gibt es die besten Kardinalschnitten Österreichs. Kardinalschnitten sind eine Kombination aus Biskuit, Kaffeecreme und Baiser. Kombiniert das mit einer Tasse heißem, schwarzem Kaffee und ihr findet euch im Traum eines jeden Kaffeeliebhabers wieder.

Animal Wisdom Speaks January - Polar Bear

1/2/2025

0 Comments

 
January has arrived and this month Animal Wisdom Speaks is dedicated to Nanoq the Great Wanderer.
„In the center of your heart, there is an ember, tiny, yet as strong as the winter sun. With every step you take through the desert of ice and frost, it is growing stronger, every breath nourishing the spark that has been lit inside you, a fire growing, a dream rekindled, a heart unstoppable.”

​​Polar Bear is a gentle mentor and fierce protector who travels through all the realms with unfailing stamina. She teaches us not to be afraid to travel in solitude and silence for a while, to take a rest and to find balance within ourselves.

She is fearless and invites us to leave what we know and are used to behind, to step out of our comfort zone and face our challenges head on. ​
