TB26 – An emotive recap

There’s been a lot of contemplation in my life about Traumburg. It was beautiful, inspiring, draining and also painful. Founding and maintaining something that originated purely from my heart has been the greatest challenge I’ve faced. Especially the challenge not to corrupt the dream, nor myself, over a timespan of 7 years that kept on taking from me. I consider myself to have failed there, for myself. I drove into burnout and depression.

Not being able to work on Traumburg, nor speak about it, for almost two years made me carry heavy resentment. Coming back into a project on the brink of not happening, I felt that resentment fade through the enormous love and care shown by you, the crew, supporters and whole community. I want to thank you with gratitude from a very deep place in my heart.

For many years I thought I needed to carry the dream alone to keep it growing. This year I learned my sacrifices might have mattered, but maybe weren’t even necessary. Realising this dream had learned to walk on its own brought a grand feeling of relief, joy and peace.

This year showed me why I entered this: an unconditional feeling of belonging, without the need to prove myself, apart from being a decent human being. Feeling that belonging in the people around me still brings goosebumps and teary eyes, even now, writing this.

All the sets, workshops, performances, hugs, kisses, dances and happy faces moved me even more this year, being able to open my heart to them. Sometimes I just needed to stand there and observe. Not being a parent yet, I think I experienced something close to seeing your children playing happily. All these years you’ve given me purpose, this year I could finally stand still and enjoy it.

And even if the dream shall end as a chapter here, which isn’t certain yet, there is so much life it gave me. I hope the same counts for you, and that it isn’t forgotten, and puts a grin or a tear of joy on our faces when thinking back. Just as it does for me.

Thank you for sharing the dream with me. Traumburg, and all of you with it, are forever in my heart. ❤️

Love
Flo
