hi everyone! I'm Layla ☾ If this group is even half as wonderful as my friend Anastasija, then I’m truly happy I decided to join! She shared so many great stories about it, and they really inspired me to become a part of this too. I would love to keep improving myself while also supporting others on their journey of growth and evolution. I’m not sure if I’ve learned my biggest life lesson yet, but something that helped me a lot was a thought that we are neither better, worse, nor equal to others, because there is actually no scale. We’re all unique, each with our own time to shine. My friend Anastasija is a rose, I’m a chrysanthemum, and each of you is your own flower. We can all bloom together. ✿ For a few years, I wandered through a shadowed path, weighed down by doubt and restlessness. But I chose to turn inward and forward, to honor the projects I began and to nurture the bonds around me. So happy to be here and excited to meet you all! I’ve included a few pictures of me and some things I love.

Hello everyone, I'm Tom, a holistic dietitian living in Tenerife. I joined this community because of a networking call I had with @Arthur Maddocks-Brown where he kindly invited me. So here I am, looking forward to meet like-minded people and help as much as I can. The best lesson I have learnt in life is that we are not our past, we are not our material possessions, we are not our mind, nor our body... BUT a healthy body leads to a healthy mind i.e. "mens sana in corpore sano" (and not the reverse). I really noticed this during my year of deep detox in 2024, where I embraced vegetarianism + stoicism + anti-consumerism, etc... and eventually healed my body, then my mind and spirit. Without the physical health pillar, I would have probably given up like I did in the past. Body health leads to mental health! Now I want to live as a light for holistic health, leading by example through conscious, liberating, and vibrant living, inspiring others to explore healthier ways of life. If what I wrote resonates with you, and you would like to connect further, feel free to send me a DM. I’m always happy to have meaningful conversations 🌱 By the way, my favourite place in the world so far is Tenerife.

Hello beautiful people!! 1. I'm @Lisa Black and I am a self proclaimed Gypsy. I've lived and traveled all over the USA, but currently reside in Houston TX. 2. I am always looking for new ways to keep grounded and have a healthy mindset. 3. I know what's best for me. Everyone can have an opinion and help me discover that, but in the end I have to do what is in alignment with myself. 4. The Beach!! 5. I've had a lot of experience with mental health and healing in general. I've been through a lot and have overcome a lot. I was also married to someone who had PTSD from being in the US Army. See photo under introductions post!

I'm based in Bali but I was born in a pirate island in the Caribbean called Cuba. I joined this community because Arthur forced me. 😂 Nah, just kidding. I joined mainly because I love traveling, awareness about mental health and relenltess self-improvement saved my life and turned it into a dream come true and nowadays, in this age of internet and excessive virtual connection we are the loneliest we have ever been, the most atomized, and while other social media platforms only exacerbate this issue skool is the only one that fosters real deep connections and even allows us to take those connections out of the internet and into the real world. The greatest lesson I have learned in my life so far is VERY hard to pinpoint because I have lived my life in pursuit for knowledge and understanding and I feel like I have learned so much. Still I know so little. I'd say that one of the biggest lessons I have learned is that I am not my thoughts, I am not my feelings... I am the thing which can observe them and I can chose my reactions to them. Between stimuli and response there's a gap, in such gap lies absolute freedom. Understanding this and applying it into my life has been one of the greatest insights and most powerful advantages I have managed to integrate and to be honest... there's a lot to talk about this subject but I'll try to keep it short. To develop this awareness, to expand your awareness... meditation has been by far the most powerful tool for me, combined also with gratitude journaling and deep journaling. My favorite place in the world is by far Bali... no, wait sorry, more specific even: Canggu, Bali... no, wait, even better: Tribal, Canggu, Bali. I have met my family in that place, and the memories I treasure are far more precious to me than gold itself. I spent 4 years into a chronic depression and honestly I was thinking about killing myself. I thought the solution might be a relationship and I got the girl of my dreams, this beautiful redhair from Spain... guess what? Disney lied to me, broooo!!! The girl ain't the solution... even though we had a lovely 3 year relationship and everything... she didn't solve my bad mental health. I was still thinking about killing myself.
