Fragments

Six fragments are chosen for this website in which Carola shares the process of "soul making".
She explores the process of moving THROUGH the family story, shifting out of survival patterns
and fear-based behavior and searches how to take responsibility for the impact of the
Holocaust experiences of one's parents and family members WITHIN oneself.

By cultivating compassion and choosing love-based behavior.

 

1. on pouring out my soul. My intention: harvesting my life experience

 

 

2. my mother's way of surviving in the camp

 

 

3.  situation after the war

 

 

4. on learning to embody unconditional love

 

 

5. on wholeness and my place in it

 

 

6. on melting and lifting up

 

 

These fragments are an example of "soulwork".

How to live through the family story. How to transmute the impact of the Holocaust experiences and survival patterns of one's family WITHIN oneself.
