Off to Adventureland – to the CREATE Convention 2024
On 26 June 2024, I set off with a car, a trailer full of materials and my friend Heike on an adventure – to the first CREATE Convention 2024, which took place in a place called ‘Wir bauen Zukunft’ and what is lived there. Torn away from our ‘normal’ lives, a very natural place with a special flair awaited us.
Unusual seminar rooms, a swimming pond, tiny houses, coworking outdoors and a magical forest with hundreds of fireflies welcomed us. Our task on site was to look after the info point, where we welcomed all CREATE participants and made initial contacts.
The connection between inner outer transformation
The theme of the CREATE Convention 2024 was the linking of inner and outer transformation – I was curious to see whether we could achieve this. I had previously thought that I had already arrived at myself, that I was connected to myself and wasn’t sure whether change was still possible. I was looking forward to many exciting workshops – the topics of which made me both curious and sceptical.
Cathérine, Ilya and the keynote speakers welcomed the attendees and introduced us directly to the connecting world and regenerative work. Even in the first few hours, an atmosphere built up that I had never experienced before. Still unsure of what was going to happen over the next three days, I went to sleep exhausted from all the new impressions.
The next morning, I was ready to embark on this adventure. I wanted to experience the special atmosphere among the participants and make it tangible for myself.
Despite my organisational tasks, I found the time to take part in workshops and talk to lots of people. I wanted to know where they came from, what their path and goal should be and where they get their inspiration from. I had never seen so many people in one place who had big and small ideas for a sustainable and regenerative world and spoke about them with great openness.
In my world, it used to be the case that we all worked in our own quiet little rooms and underestimated the strength of a lively community.
And this is exactly where I was proved wrong. We worked on topics co-creatively, looked at them from many different angles and discussed them intensively; we meditated together, went on fantasy journeys and laughed together. We got to know each other much better through our open and honest encounters and also shared our fears and worries. We discovered our inner companions and I managed to find even more connection with myself.
Together towards deeper consciousness
It was exciting to learn that when we embark on deep paths of consciousness, new insights open up. My personal learning was a new kind of connection to myself and the participants in this adventureland.
After this trip, I feel more stable in who I am and what I do. Of course, the positive feedback on my two contributions to the supporting programme also contributed to this. This strengthens my resolve to launch new projects and look for companions who share the same values.
Back on new paths after the CREATE Convention 2024
After 4 days and a new feeling that can still be explored and tasted, I landed back home with my friend and the luggage trailer.
I have not only connected with great people, I have looked deeper into myself with curiosity and openness. This new energy will create something new.
For anyone who has not yet had such an experience in their life, I would like to encourage you: ‘Set out on the path to yourself and your inner team. Find your weaknesses and strengths and take new paths with courage and confidence.’ It has given me even more serenity and confidence for all of our futures.
With this in mind, I am looking forward to a continuation at a second CREATE Convention and to the many sprouts that have seen the light of day these days. THANK YOU to ALL who have contributed. And as magical and yet real as the fireflies in the forest were, for me personally they symbolise what I experienced.
Merci, Merci, Merci.
