A Dancing Theologian who lives on an island with red rocks and mainly posts images of her Cat #monasticmaumoses 
Post-doctoral researcher in Systematic Theology at the Polin Institute of Theological Research at Åbo Akademi University. Current project - Praxis of Social Imaginaries - works transdisciplinarily with artists and researchers to study medieval travel accounts to learn about embodiment, cosmology, colonialism, race and sustainability.
And so the Journey begins! The Dancing Pilgrimage Princess 💃🏽🧙🏼‍♀️🧝🏼‍♀️ is off on her adventure to walk in the footsteps of #gudsälskarinnor #dancingpilgrimageprincess
Coming back from a weekend at #sigtunastiftelsen I read this article in their new Magasine and I can only concord with Bengt Kristensson Uggla on the fact that #Sigtuna is a truly #enchanted place where encounters that make us grow as humans has a solid foundation in the architecture and culture. Grateful for Kristna I Akademigatan who organized this retreat on theme of #flourishing

I always knew I was the girl from the red rocks and blue sea. #redrocks #bluesea I hardly dared to #dream that becoming a #woman #rooted into her #soulscape is even possible! Still, each week, the weaving of #dances and #places reveal layers upon layers of how my #wildest dream were only a starting point for the actual path… #grateful #beyond #measurement #amazed by #godsgoodness
#homecoming !
In many ways, moving to the #archipelago of the #ÅlandIslands was not what I expected. In many ways, there’s been struggles and sorrow. In many more ways, I have just been overwhelmed by the deep sense of connection! It is as if everything has been prepared. All along, this life has been here waiting for me, with goodness of the kind I didn’t know I could even ask for. So many patterns weaved together in this intricate fabric of #life where past, present and future intersect.
A day filled with meetings from morning to evening! #polininstitute logo, #NordForsk application with #sámiallaskuvla & #artisticresearch + #aboakademi The Sea profile. Ending with #danceresearch and #theology
Luckily there was also time for sunshine and cuddles PLUS an unexpected visit!

First stop of the day - Akademiska Dagen!
The speeches and program moved from peace to dance and good and evil microbes.
After this there was a delightful lunch at #rooster
A perfect set up for the #professorsinstallation s at #aboakademi that will follow later today!
One of the things I love with living on the island is the commuting!
I am still to bike to the ferry, however, I did an excursion to the main village yesterday which I hope can become a weekly practice later in spring.
Once it is time to leave, the ferries to the mainland(s) are very simple & this is what is so wonderful. We all treat the space as our own living rooms — some work, others watch TV - and in the morning hours the lights are kept dim so that anyone who wants can sleep!
Taking the lead of #monasticmaumoses for the importance of rest, I opened the #hammock season yesterday!
Soon to be two years into my journey of playing with #humandesign I have learnt that it truly is so that I get much more done, the more I #rest #rejuvenate and #recharge my batteries on a very continuous basis! This is also why moving to the island has been the best choice EVER! in the #silence and #stillness I am remade.#catsofmastodon
