About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Work, to serve the little ones of this world :)

ABOUT ME

Hello there,
Im Pavlina, a sweed currently living in Sweden, working with children at a Rudolf Steiner kindergarten in Gothenburg. That we could say is one of the things I love most doing in this life and world, and also right now, spend most of my time doing, basically living at that darn kindergarten... Luckily children are the most wonderful companions and they teach me the joy of life, pure heartedness and spaciousness everyday.
When not doing that I mostly read books, that also being a sworn passion of mine, I mostly study Tibetan Buddhism and Anthroposophy but I really enjoy reading good poetry and old novels as well:) Another hobby is ballet dancing and when time is generous to me Im a Dungeons and Dragons nerd, I also love larping different time eras, mostly midieval and up to end of 18th century, something I simply think is so fun to do.

I love being in nature, and just walking in nature is such a joy to me, usually I can enjoy those things among making good fires and petting horses when I visit my dads place. And someday I wish Ill live like him out in the countryside, feeling somehow thats where I belong.
Being here is manily because I love to meet other humans, hear their views, share life and learn from each other, In meeting there is such profund wisdom I have noticed ^^, and for me to care for others, to cook for them, sing for them and laugh with them really lifts my spirit !
Singing, cooking and baking bread is something I enjoy so much along with painting, gardening and herbalism, that is a few of my hobbies you could say. Mostly my spritual practice and work take up my days and I really couldnt be happier for it :)

What else, I have traveled a lot and now have been resting from that a couple of years to just study, work and practice, but I can feel the winds of change coming for this summer and fall and will probably move in some way or the other. Lets see!

A poem I thought would fit the occasion

"To have traveled so far...
From east to west,
a thousand terrible miles;
My feet treading all God's surface -
His Ocean, His swamps, His slopes and ridges -
To find myself at last a mark in the aching snow
From whence I beheld through a blue haze a world of mountains piled upon mountains."

May all be auspicous!
Be happy 🌞💟🌛🌠🌈
Love, Pavlina
