Show notes
Marietta Schürholz is a Creative crafting her unique life path in a feminine way, letting it unfold and taking bold steps.
She has gone some more conventional ways with a PhD in art history, and some time as a Quality Management Consultant.
Her life to date is marked by changing course and inventing her own offers, such as
- going on a 1.5 year long global pilgrimage, including staying at a nunnery;
- creating "Buddha's Banquet", a catering service combined with spirituality;
- writing as a journalist for Buddhist magazines, including an interview with Joanna Macy (originator of The Work that Reconnects), for example;
- making a film "Ritual" about rituals and their importance, including interviews with Sobonfu Somé, Charles Eisenstein, Brother David Steindl-Rast, and more;
- offering a Fairytale Bakery (Märchenbackstube), combining storytelling and bead-baking;
- taking people with and without singing skills on a Chorus Caravan, a singing journey through Europe;
- delivering transformational trainings such as Expand the Box Training in her venue "Mutmacherei" (a place to encourage);
- creating a museum about her own life;
- and more.
Marietta shares vividly and with Clarity how
- she learned to change course when she would realise the emptiness of an endeavor that focused on being "safe".
- she had to step out of her "Trying-to-be-good" Box to encounter the divine web of life intelligence.
- important sisterhood is, with a story of goddess Inanna and her sister Ereshkigal, queen of the Underworld.
From Mary Oliver's poem "Wild Geese":
"You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves."
