Step 3: Mischa rehab, recovery and reconnection project

Hi, my name is Doris. My husband, Mischa, had a stroke (a bleeding deep in the right hemisphere) on February 20th, 3 weeks before our 12 year wedding anniversary. He's a SURVIVOR. Well, he survived many crazy adventures on my side and he is committed to get into some more with me, and to continue to be an active, loving father to our kiddo (who is 9 and doesn't want strangers to know his name).

We live in Sweden, so we're lucky to not go broke on medical costs just now. What we want to raise money for is an accessible, well equipped rehab, recovery and reconnection space that can also be used by the community that is connected to The Magic Circle Hut.

The Magic Circle Hut is an organization I founded to foster Body-Mind-Spirit integration and help people navigate life changing crisis as opportunity spaces that can be approached and mastered with soulful goal setting, practical strategies, a deep sense of connectedness to self and the bigger living (social, cultural, natural) systems we are all entangled in, as well as gaining sovereignty over one's energy, inner resources and personal power for the benefit of self and others. It is meant to be accessible and based on a "power with" economy that creates a network of resource exchange that (while for practical reasons it can't exclude it entirely, but) does not focus on money!

Any crisis breaks through the routines of ordinary life. It opens a space of uncertainty where the old rules do not apply anymore and the new "order" has not been established, yet. It is, in other words, a possibility space. Mischa and I want to use this possibility space to do something new, to orient fully around health, recovery, and reconnection to what matters most to us. This needs a fit and functioning body in a healthy mind, with a nourished soul and an enlivened spirit. As a coach, I have been committed to these things for a while, determined to help others achieve this for themselves. Now, the urgency to create this space in our environment has suddenly increased a lot.

We need functional fitness equipment at a place that is easily accessible to us and where we can create an easy home-base that can serve Mischa in his recovery goals as well as other members of our community. Your donation and support (spread the work / link, OK? :)) will go a long way towards creating a practices & training space as well as a hub for resources, expertise and support that has the ambitious goal to help many survivors and their loved ones on Gotland, where we really need a better infrastructure for these kinds of things and there is a lot of potential that, if properly brought together and directed can make a huge difference for overall quality of life and thriving on this island. Yep, thinking BIG. ;)
