Listen Later

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."
