Well this will be a treat!

This English language version just arrived at my door and I can see myself shifting plans for this evening. 🤭🤓

It’s cold here in #Gdansk but oh so pretty. Good for the so-called soul.

#Poland #rest

Flew to Gdansk, Poland today to meet up with my mum for a short break from ‘it all’. Something about this city has me returning and unwinding.

#Gdansk #Poland #timeout #Baltic

Times spent in transit during #cult years felt intensely disorienting, like processing multiple culture shocks simultaneously, while quickly readjusting to a suitable ‘me’ for the destination. Always managing that stress pit in my stomach.
Such a contrast to the peaceful approach to #Larvik today.

When your unspoken relationship agreement is to never send each other motivational quotes, but she knows you well enough to gamble, that this one time, it will be okay.

Turns out that decades in a new age #cult with an intense focus on spiritual and self-development practices, performed multiple times daily, alone and in groups, can 💯 shatter one’s capacity for straightforward thinking and perception. A process I’m keen to reverse. #cultrecovery #untransformation

My joining and leaving the Findhorn Foundation represented in two pics. Between them, twenty years in a high-demand environment with an insular intensity, grand purpose, loaded peer-policed language, culture of exploitation, and spiritual coercion. Still recovering and forging my post #cult self.

Really missing proper winters, albeit from the privileged position of not constantly having to dig out cars and driveways.

A bit of local #alpaca charm for the timeline.

Oh wow, what an adventure, and how great to see part of the colony! A very lively place indeed! So that's where they travel to then, this crowd. (Moffen 2019, excuse the poor quality.)

Short local walking breaks are so worth it! These days I’m especially enjoying the mid-afternoon sunsets and smell of snow in the air. Now back to macroeconomic assignments. #ou #openuniversity #studentlife #postcultgrowth

Hello Bluesky! Sharing some of my favourite blue vistas from places dear to my heart - Findhorn, Larvik and Svalbard.
Look forward to finding new connections and community on here.
