We are 60 people
living together in a beautiful old plant nursery in the middle
of Denmark. We live in four big buildings surrounded by a very
well kept and beautiful garden with a swimmingpool.
We
have a big piece of land with a bee yard and 2 horses, a big music room, many creative
workshops and a big activity and meditation hall.
We
all come here with very different backgrounds. What brings us
together is our common choice of making the inner work the most
important in our lives.
We call our place Solens Hjerte - A Therapeutic and Spiritual
Community - and besides from being a private home for all of
us who live here permanently, it is a center for personal and
spiritual growth which is open for visitors.
We believe mankind evolves through
a conscious awakening of each individual. True evolution will
not happen through prohibition, punishment and struggle, but
through developing our love, acceptance and compassion. We work
for that more and more people consciously take responsibility
for their own lives and feelings. We see planet Earth at a turning
point, where humanity is now waking up to realise our true potential
and responsibility as creative beings. We all have the choice,
of what we want to focus on, and thereby what we create.
Do we want to make
planet Earth uninhabitable for ourselves by going on denying
our true nature and our responsibility and let things slide
? Or do we want to create heaven on Earth, on the inner as well
as on the outer levels ? It is our choice.
Our home is big and we are many
people living here. We always have a lot of work to do with
daily activities, and we are constantly restoring and reconstructing
our surroundings. We take care of our children to give them
a loving and supporting upbringing and schooling.
We find it important to keep our
home nice and clean. By keeping our surroundings light, clean
and well kept, we enhance the process of cleaning and refining
our own energy.
We use our work as a meditation.
We see the daily work as nothing more than a tool to gain greater
awareness of who we are. Whether we are cooking, cleaning the
toilets, working in the garden, authoring a home page, or paying
the bills, we see the work as an invitation to be present here
and now, instead of letting ourselves be caught up in our minds
endless milling around about past and future.
Working together in a team will
inevitably bring up emotional issues, and can result in conflicts.
This process is also taken as an opportunity of sheding light
on our patterns and resolving the issues in an accepting and
loving way.
Humor, laughter and lightness are central and very vital aspects
of the way we interact and live together. Letting go is fun
and optimistic, there is a great relief in being able to laugh
at yourself and your patterns.
Another part of the work is the
inner work. By bringing love and acceptance into all aspects
of our internal life we open our hearts and minds to our inner
boundless and infinite nature. We strive to be more and more
true to ourselves. Keeping our feet on the ground, we stretch
our arms towards the sky, towards the light. By letting go of
restricting and limiting thought patterns and ideas, we open
up for a life in freedom. True freedom is an inner state of
being.
We use different kinds of therapeutic
and spiritual techniques and methods, which help us to let go
of old emotional constraints, and to become more open, aware
and present. Most of the work we do is bodyoriented. The emotions
reside in our bodies, and by using the body by breathing, dancing,
laughing, running, doing voicework etc. we access the bank of
emotional memories, we all carry inside of us. By bringing light
to old emotional issues, and releasing them in a positive, caring
and accepting environment, we change the fundamental patterns
of our life.
Basically, we believe, the world
is what we think it is. Now, when we are not able to think positive,
loving and prospering thoughts all the time and thereby create
these qualities in our lives, it is due to our emotional experiences
and conditioning. Here in a safe and caring environment, you
can allow yourself to look at your emotions and give them a
more positive release, than you allowed yourself as a child.
The structure in our place is
designed to bring up old emotions from the childhood. By living
and staying here, we make the same projections on the people
here, as we did on our parents, siblings, friends, and teachers
etc, as kids. Now we can look at it, and see how it has been
ruling our life, and let go of it, realising that now as grown
ups, we do no longer need these emotional patterns to protect
us.
We believe we are all fundamentally
free creative beings. In our core we are nothing but light,
love and compassion. When it occurs, that we are not allowing
these qualities to shine through us, it is in order to protect
us. Or rather to protect the little child, we all carry inside
of us from being hurt. The child has often experienced rejection,
when it showed its true nature, it may have been ridiculed,
or abandonded, laughed at or the like. Ever since, we have carried
that memory in us often allowing it to control our lives. An
important part of the work we do here, is to free our inner
children by learning to deal with our emotions in an adult,
responsible and caring way, allowing the inner child to feel
safe, and to live our lives in light, love and compassion.
Letting go of old emotional patterns and constraints is not
an easy task. If it was, we would all have done it a long time
ago. It requires courage, decisiveness and tons of sweat and
tears. But liberation is possible and within reach for all of
us.
