Mermaid
Hello my dears, this is a very unusual format to write a page in German here now...
Recently, you can find my husband and my new flatmate David selling my art at various markets in the Harz region. After every market, I am so incredulous - so many people who like my art?? Unbelievable, but grateful.
Here you will find the timeless Owl Delivery in the future. First, there will only be one -
The Mermaid Owl - on the theme of grief. Soon there will be a Brownie edition, the future Witch edition, and Santa Claus in December.

Getting to know your grief
Hier geht um die Kombination aus Kunst und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung – ganz besonders um das psychologische Konzept von Dr. Richard Schwartz aus den 1980er-Jahren.
Er begründete das Modell der Inneren Familiensysteme (IFS) und stellte fest, dass die menschliche Psyche kein einzelner Monolith ist, sondern vielmehr ein System aus verschiedenen „Teilen“
Der innere Anteil, um den es hier bei dir geht, ist die TRAUER.
Vielleicht hast du den Film „Alles steht Kopf“ schon einmal gesehen? Ich glaube, der beschreibt das ziemlich gut. Alle Teile haben unterschiedliche Bedürfnisse, Gefühle und Wege, sich selbst zu schützen.
Am wichtigsten war Schwartz dabei zu betonen: Es gibt keine schlechten Teile. Jeder Teil möchte das Gesamtsystem beschützen, selbst wenn sein Verhalten destruktiv erscheint.
Das Ziel ist es, eine vertrauensvolle Beziehung zu jedem dieser inneren Teile aufzubauen, damit sie ihre extremen, hartnäckigen Verhaltensweisen loslassen und als Gemeinschaft zusammenarbeiten können.
Ist es nicht genau das, was wir uns auch für unsere äußere Welt wünschen?
What awaits you in the sealed envelope?
x A high-quality art print, individual sticker & sticker sheet to feel and immerse yourself in.
x The oldest surviving fable of the respective creature, psychologically interpreted.
x A personal letter from me on this topic. A piece of raw and imperfect life story of myself to practically show you how the topic of the letter might have manifested in your life.
x A large A3 workbook directly on the inside of the envelope with reflection questions and suggestions. Together with an individually selected message for you
x An audio file with a guided, suitable meditation.
x The Owl Compass, which guides you through the letter.
The concept of this letter is based on the assumption that the outside world is always a reflection of our inner world. And if we are in conflict with our outside world, we should first work internally, even if our environment has harmed us.
I deliberately chose stories and mythology as subject areas, as we can most easily find the deepest buried patterns of humanity within them. Stories contain a lot of
Archetypes, elements, and symbols that constantly repeat themselves and can also be found in each of us. As children, we learned important life lessons primarily from fairy tale books.
I will always remember the saying: "The best wisdom is in the stories."
In this letter, we will take a closer look at mermaids. Here you will find the very first story about mermaids that exists in this world. I have interpreted it through the lens of archetypal forces, psychology, mythology, symbolism, and spirituality.
Because if the goal is to build a trusting relationship with our parts, we must first get to know them. We must go beyond mere knowledge that they exist - we must truly experience them. We need the courage to explore these aspects of ourselves to integrate them.
First, there's a lot to experience with your senses: art that displays these elements and immerses you in the world of mermaids.
You'll learn why mermaids embody the "grief" aspect in the story.
There's also a personal letter from me, in which I discuss grief from my perspective. It's written exactly as I would have described my very own mermaid story at 18 years old. Simply raw and imperfect.
And there's a workbook – the owl's nest on the back of the envelope. It contains questions on the topic, suggestions, and more, so you can delve deeper yourself and examine your grief more closely. Furthermore, a guided audio file with a suitable meditation is waiting directly for you.
