Stories So Far.
My personal regenerative journey.
Wait, where have I been when? And what happened there that I want to remember? Sometimes, in order to make memories stick, let information become experience and knowledge, you need to write them down. I need to write them down. To be able to go back. To be able to reflect. These are insights, moments, and anecdotes about life, travels, and the people I have met and don’t want to forget.

Everything falls into place while being outdoors. [Abisko to Nikkaluokta – Day 6]
The heaviness of the last day sets in. I don’t really wanna go back but my ankle tell me it’s okay. Six days with a heavy backpack, barefoot shoes, and a summit try was enough for now. It is crazy how I needed 4 days to actually get into the

When I sleep in a tent, I feel so much more refreshed. [Abisko to Nikkaluokta – Day 5]
Last night, when I lay awake because of the wind rushing through the trees around me, I felt so deeply grateful and happy to be here. That fascinates me during outdoor trips. When I sleep in a tent, no matter how interrupted and rough my sleep is, I feel so

Being unprepared made me fall in love. [Abisko to Nikkaluokta – Day 4]
I slept well, the wind caressing the night, and my dreams were vivid. I wrap up my stuff, hanging it on all sides of the tent. There’s a herd of reindeer grazing on grasses, forbs, and shrubs on the valley floor. I reach a way sign. The regular path leads

Being uncomfortable slows down time. [Abisko to Nikkaluokta – Day 3]
It is 04:00 am when I decide to end the night. I sit up and try to assess the situation. What a rough night. Wind and strong gusts came from different directions, slapping outer and inner tent against each other. The floor and bottom of the air mattress are completely

I drank from a stream. It tasted like adventure with a hint of moss and ancient ice. [Abisko to Nikkaluokta – Day 2]
I listen to the river rushing down in the valley and the soft rain drops hitting the tent. It’s 3 am. Yesterday was the first time in a long time that I drank directly from a stream. It tasted like adventure with a hint of moss and ancient ice stored

„Don’t pack your fears.“ [Abisko to Nikkaluokta – Day 1]
I’m walking away from the bus station and feel the weight of my backpack. Why did I have to get more food? Last night, after arriving in Kiruna after a 15 hour bus ride, I panicked a little and bought more food. „Just for one more day“, I told myself.

Time is never wasted.
Time. One of our most precious resources. It’s also sort of weird to think of it as a resource. Probably the invention of the clock and then the watch made it a resource. Not just for ourselves, but for everyone interested in doing something with our time. Nowadays, like yesterdays,

Grazing For Resilience.
“So, how was Hungary?” When I arrived for my yearly ecological monitoring together with the Hungarian Savory Hub, my initial thought was that I was really worried. Worried about the result of no effective rain and high temperatures over the last 6-8 weeks. Worried after seeing so many dried-out pastures

Plans are useless…
but planning is essential. When we work with the complexity of life, we don’t expect the plan to work out exactly as we planned it. But the planning itself, the process itself, still makes so much sense. For discussions, information exchange, and moments of insight during planning. For the framework

When there was no waste.
I sit over my finished lunch. Eggs, bacon, and a leftover of fat and onions from a roast I made a week ago. I look at my greasy plate. I pick it up and lick it clean. Thoughts cross my mind, above all my mum’s voice. “You’re not supposed to

Our Habits.
Something new is relatively easy to think about when sitting in a training or by an evening beer with your peers. What happens when we put it into practice? We are still fueled by the idea and the excitement. And then… We suddenly scratch at the habits of our animals,

Patterns for our system.
If we don’t know how to work and make decisions together, live regeneration and democracy locally, we will not get the solutions we want regionally or nationally. What we practice at the small scale sets the pattern for the whole system. And can change the whole system. Start where you

Regeneration is Relationship.
Supporting regeneration means building relationships with land and people. Not just “being right” or pushing an agenda. Instead work within context, priorities, and community. Local community. Watershed community. Start where you are. „Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend

Everyday we are a Mosaic of Landscape.
Today I look at myself and have to smile. It looks like I’m turning into this land. When we arrived 10 weeks ago, in a winter storm and with snow piled high along the roads, we stopped at a second-hand shop and got ourselves some well-maintained warm winter gear –

20.000 Steps.
That’s my magic number. If I go on a walk and I make it to 20.000 steps before I stop, not just my whole day, but my whole week will be better. 7.000 steps per day and I feel okay.15.000 steps per day and my body is good.20.000 steps in
