For the week before I left, I worked on a project I have yet to tell you about. Zigola, an enthusiastic artist of Dendera, invited me to work on a project that Qualia and her were spearheading to paint a caravan (or trailer) with plants and animals that people of Dendera are named after! They lobbied for me to be able to use this as part of my work-trade with them and I painted pretty much every day for a week, a few hours or more a day when it was raining (which it often was). I am so grateful they put their trust in me to work on such a project. For them, it was a significant trailer because Falco, their leader who passed away last year, used to travel around with this trailer on the journeys that are part of Damanhur culture to go out into the world and discover new things to bring back to the community. For me, it was an opportunity to paint something bigger than I had ever painted, and to continuously work on a painting for longer than I ever had before. As I am developing my ability to have longer-sustained energy toward my endeavors and to leap into my creative power, this was perfect! Here are some photos of what it turned out looking like.
I've now said goodbye to Damanhur a few long days ago. I felt so much love leaving Dendera, the nucleo I lived in for two weeks, and that gave me a lot of closure. Lukas and I got big hugs and kisses from everyone there. For the week before I left, I worked on a project I have yet to tell you about.
