Crowdfunding since 2010

Through stitching and planting trees: finding rootedness. While travelling with the Trans- Sibirian Railway, feeling like having wings;-).

After my Online Conference "Natural living & learning" with focus on roots and wings, it became very obvious to me that I want to (re)-connect with my roots in my country of origin Kasakhstan, which I haven't visited in 30 years. My love for stitching and planting trees together with travelling is synonymous for my rooted and at the same time freedom orientated thread of life.

What is this project all about?

Inner and outer journey to a rooted and winged life. Through stitching of my destiny's towel "Rushkyn" and planting trees' seeds along some stops of the Trans-Sibirian Railway destination, a deep rootedness develops within myself but also along the railway path, pathing the way for trees to grow in the future. The journey itself gives me wings through the realisation of my youth dream. I want to bring out a (e-) book/ Online Course after my trip about the meaning of symbolism in the different embroidery styles from the Eastern countries like Russia, Kasakhstan and Mongolia. My experiences along my rooted and winged journey will form a base for my blog: https://erikaamaizing.me/blog/.

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

My target audience are all people who followed my Online Conference, and those who are interested in natural living and learning, who furthermore like the rootedness of planting trees and to learn the art of spirited clothing.

My goals are:
1) Stitching of my destiny's towel "Rushnyk" after old slawic tradition,see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rushnyk.
2) Research of the meaning of the symbolism and ornaments in Slawic, Kasakh and Mongolian embroidery during my journey while visiting many museums and local embroiderers. This information is a good platform to start writing a (e-)book / preparing an Online Course about the meaning and techniques in Eastern embroidery.
3) Cause I care for nature, I like to plant trees' seeds of my life's tree "Rowan" according the celtic horoscope, along the different journey's stops of the Trans-Sibirian Railway. Simultaneously, I support the children and youthinitiative "Plant-for-the-Planet" with trees planting via my own trees counter here: https://www.plant-for-the-planet.org/billiontree/de/home. You are more than welcome to join me;-).

Why would you support this project?

Everyone who knows me from my Online Conference www. natürlich-leben-und-lernen.de and further networks of natural schools initiatives, the Anastasiamovement, Gradido (www.gradido.net), would support my inner and outer journey to my roots and wings. Furthermore, strengthening the German-Russian relationships and the spreading and preservation of traditional embroidery art and spirited clothing from the Eastern countries.

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

I will realise my journey with the Trans-Sibirian Railway between the 16th of July until 22nd of August. I will gather important information and research through several visits of museums and local embroiderers in order to start writing an (e-)book and organise an Online Course afterwards.

Who are the people behind the project?

Me, Erika Maizi, with my heart and soul, with my roots and wings and all my ancestors.
Nadjeshda, who has taught me the basics of how to stitch a destiny towel after old slawic tradition while visiting a seminar on the German island "Rügen". More information on her work here: https://slavvishivka.jimdo.com/.
