Raised as an only child,
I think I have always known
the longing for soul family.
Perhaps at times
from a place of lack.
A longing to belong.
To be seen.
To be understood.
But over the years,
that relationship
has changed.
Today, soul family
means something
very different to me.
It is not about
people agreeing with me.
Not about
always feeling comfortable.
Not even about
spending every day together.
Soul family is
having people in your life
who become part
of your growth process.
People with whom
you dare to be vulnerable.
People who witness your gifts,
but also your struggles.
People you can ask for help.
People who challenge you.
People who celebrate you.
People who make space for you to take up space.
People who remind you
that you don’t have to walk alone.
And perhaps most of all,
soul family reminds me
how interconnected we truly are.
Beyond bloodline.
Beyond cultural background.
Beyond the color of our skin.
Beyond nationality.
Beyond the names we carry.
Life keeps showing me
that we belong to one another
in ways that are often difficult to explain,
yet deeply felt.
Over the past days,
I reflected on that
with in mind
a diverse multi-day experience
together with people
I consider soul family.
The images in this reel
are a small impression of that experience
and of the vibrant souls
I shared it with.
Thank you for being part of my journey🤍
