Sidsel is the:
Wounded Nature Dreamer
Her Inner Child personality represents feelings of hurt, vulnerability and emotional scars paired with a connection to the natural world and a sense of simplicity and purity.
In order to thrive, she needs
healing, self-care and a safe environment
time spent in nature, simplicity and a connection to the natural world to grow and mature.
Sidsel embodies the idea of creativity, idealism, and hope, and represents the power of the human mind to dream and imagine new possibilities. Sidsel steps in the footprints of many other Dreamers such as Alice in Wonderland, Don Quixote, and Neo from The Matrix who represent the human desire for escape, transcendence, and self-discovery, as they embodying the creative, imaginative, and idealistic qualities that are often seen as the best of what humanity has to offer.
Sidsel’s Dream (vision):
'“I experienced the vision of a house, a building where nature plays an important role. The was bounty and green leaves interweaving with timber and clay. It was a place where the land had 'legal rights' in the same way the human had rights. It was a sustainable way of living where the balance between giving and taking was respected. Nature thrived for the benefit of the Human. The Human thrives for the benefit of the planet. They had re-learned the Buddhist idea of ‘inter-being.” *
Sidsel’s child cause:
The Orphaned Child: feelings of abandonment, loss and disconnection from others.
Needs encouragement, creativity, and imagination to nurture its sense of wonder and possibility.
“I dream of working with displaced children. Children that have no home in the sense, that they have been displaced due to poverty, war, nature disasters, conflicts etc.
But also displaced children of the psyche. Children who are confronted with an increasingly drive for performance, who suffer displacement from creativity and play, which are their fundamental rights according to the Children’s Rights convention.
I am interested in the themes of REFUGE, the refugee as a person with no home, Refuge as a temporary shelter/home, but also Refuge as the feeling of safety. A Home within one self. A home on the Earth and the Earth as a home to humanity.”
Why / The Number:
