Creativity is such a buzzword these days. As a facilitator, I host sessions to help people friend creativity. With this post, I explore my motivation for creating. Why do I create? To me, creativity is
When I started to play with creativity, soon I felt I was overwhelmed by ideas, thoughts, curated info sources like articles, videos, and so on; trying out the endless tips and tricks and hacks from
TL;DR This post is about why it is important to practice 3 opposite traits (to feel, think, and do) when working towards dreams. It happens that I have friends in various circles. Some of my
It was 27 kids. Not even mine. 27 kids who gave me one of the best lessons in my life. When I worked in a school, I got introduced to drama therapy as a method
I attended the Oral Storytelling workshop with a colorful Heidi Dahlsveen last weekend. How was it? Well, imagine 3 days in nature with 15 people and 40 storytelling exercises: solo, in pairs, in the group
Often when I don’t understand, when something doesn’t make sense, I don’t feel it yet, and I don’t feel it because I don’t live it, not trying.Say, I walk, and if a walk is too
‘What do you see in front of you? Where do you want to go?’ a typical web training session with my KOKONO clients. What do I see (when bombarded with information)? Where do I want

“Be like water, my friend.” Oh, but what does that mean, dear Bruce Lee? Focus on where water comes from. It rains on the mountains. Many streams form. Many unite and form a river. Then
Facilitation Week is on, run by International Association of Facilitators. Together with my colleagues Amy Keith and Malü Duque, I’ll be co-facilitating a workshop on authenticity discovery through play. Info: September 16th 2023, 4:00 pm –
I have to tell you a secret. For more than a year, I have a silver bag full of stuff. All sort of weird things can be found in this bag. Bean seeds, golden nails,
Oh, parallel lives! When I leave my laptop, I dress up like a bird and prototype with communities! Here we’re testing an in-person experience: community storytelling in the hidden places of a touristic town in
What does a Facilitator do? I was thinking too! I’m so happy I discovered IAF – Ireland, where we learn together how to facilitate better. In one of the online meetings, I will share an
Oh those barriers for saying what I think! And here I call out not the loudest seat that I often take. No. I’m calling out the silent ones, the shy spirits hiding in the corner
When it comes to conflict, my habitual response is “let’s solve it”. Over years, I learned to jump into problem solving mentality (ah, thanks to startups!). But this week, I noticed how in deep conflicts
When I lived in Ireland, I used to facilitate workshops for communities. We called these sessions ‘sprints on local problems’ (from the famous list of Sustainable Development Goals: 17 SDGs). What a drum roll in

Buvau mokymuose apie Aktyvų Klausymą su Emily Kasriel. Ir suklusau. Išklausius nėra žodžio reikia. Nereikia atsakyti. Oho! Tikrai taip anksčiau nepagalvodavau. O iš kur gi ta intercija kyla? Kad visada reikia atsakyti? Nežinau, gal iš
After a long pause, I’m reconnecting with communities, online and face-to-face. Seeing people. Weaving those connections and networks, again. And here, the magic of nature was real! Look. Just after a community zoom today, I
I wonder, what glues people together. Why some collaborations work, while others do not? I guess the same things as in any relationships apply. It’s not about the what part like doing things together, but
What if conflicts are like waste without which an insight wouldn’t arrive? Pause and integration of learnings after conflicts is key.
Bendr-auti prasideda kaip ‘bendra’. Tarsi nematomas vakuumas. Jame esame kartu, nuo sekundės, kai prasidėjo mūsų bendra-vimas. Įdomu! Commun-ication sounds like ‘common’, Like vacuum we share. From the moment we started to commun-icate.
This post is about how in search of co-existence I discovered a movement of regeneration, which flipped me inside out. If you’re reading this, by now, you should know I love questions. So the third
Fashion is alive; it’s not a thing. Fashion is a performance art happening on the street. I cannot explain what got me so happy and curious about fashion. It’s just one of the few things
It’s funny. I love exploring so much. Talking when walking, thoughts always jumping! So much excitement that I forget to pause. Until – boom! I notice something. A pattern I haven’t seen before. This autumn,
Leaving the house is the hardest. Just imagine a destination – nearest tree. Go there. And now, where?
How to rest… I’m gonna go so. Where is my jacket? The one with cats? Found it. Ok. To town please! Oh winds, noise, hello. I’ve missed you. I hear you. I hear all of
