“Don’t do anything that isn’t Play!”

Joseph Campbell

Regaining our innate natural Curiosity, Playfulness and Explorer Spirit

Do you also do things “in order to”

• achieve?
• be liked?
  
• be appreciated?
  
• be accepted?
  
• belong?
  
• manipulate others to behave so that you feel good?

Not so long ago something happened.

Something that was meant to change my life profoundly.

One morning I woke up absolutely happy and completely resting within myself. There were very few thoughts and I felt completely fulfilled from within myself for no apparent reason.

As the day went on and also this “seeing” continued I realised that my true nature was manifesting itself. To say that it was manifesting itself to “me” would not be completely accurate.

I realised that our true nature is something we will never find but also won’t be able to get rid of. Because it is no thing. Nothing that can be found if we are actively looking for it.

Some of that perfume stayed with me and my obsession for success and drive to achieve dropped considerably since then.

Sometimes this effortless presence seemingly in the back of my head but nevertheless all encompassing knocks on my door when I fall back into being less than I already am by doing “in order to” or trying “becoming something” or “somebody”.

Nevertheless I realised that I still kept myself occupied all the time just with less striving.

And I realised that I somehow needed to face the discomfort that bothered me when I wasn’t engaged in any activity or distracting myself. And so I did.

And I also understood that the only way to be authentic is to play because the purpose of play is completely dedicated to our own enjoyment and fulfilment and doesn’t serve a purpose but might be really effortlessly purposeful.

I would like to invite you to join me on that Adventure to face our discomfort in a day full of talks, activities, practices, exercises, light-heartedness, ease, adventure & magic.
