Behind The Scenes #2
Hello, Totelly tribe! Strap in for your monthly dose of What’s Cooking at our favorite community hub. Spoiler: It’s equal parts inspiring, connective, and sprinkled with mild chaos (the good kind). Let’s dive in!
August 30–31: Become a Communication Wizard (No Magic Wand Required)
Tired of family squabbles, work misunderstandings, or that “Wait, did I really just say that?!” cringe moment? Enter Yoram Mosenzon, certified Nonviolent Communication (NVC) trainer, who’s here to turn your “uh-oh” conversations into “aha!” connections. This two-day workshop isn’t just theory—think role-play, real-life examples, and zero judgment. Perfect for humans of all roles (yes, even that coworker who still doesn’t know how to use Zoom mute).

Erasmus+: Community Weavers
Drumroll for our freshly submitted Erasmus+ project! Community Weavers unites Totelly with powerhouse partners Mai Bine and Om si Copac (Romania), Radi Vidi Pats (Latvia), and Siolta Chroí (Ireland)—all rebels with a cause for regenerative living, community-building, and reconnecting humans to… well, everything (themselves, each other, planet Earth).
Over two years (fingers crossed for a September kickoff!), we will be crafting a superhero toolkit for community facilitators. Think event blueprints, e-learning gems, mentorship magic, and training to turn “meh” gatherings into “YES!” experiences. Want to host a climate-action jam? A mindfulness rave? We’ve got your back.
Shoutout to Dumitrita for her herculean writing efforts and her skills. Now we wait… cue nervous popcorn munching.
March 26: The Offers & Needs Market
Got a talent for knitting? A knack for spreadsheet sorcery? Or just really good at listening? Join our Offers & Needs Market at Reykjavik’s Hafnar.haus! Swap skills, stumble into collaborations, or simply bond over a shared love of sourdough. Who knows? Your next friendship (or startup idea) might be hiding in a coffee break.

April 26–27: Intentional Life Design
Our Intentional Life Design Retreat is back! Led by the dynamic duo Tanja & Dumitrita, this isn’t your average “sit and meditate” gig. Expect interactive exercises, nature deep-dives, and maybe a few “Whoa, that’s me?!” moments. Perfect for anyone craving clarity, connection, or a break from their Netflix backlog.

Podcast Alert: Connection Regenerator
Our latest podcast episode is LIVE! Tanja and her guests dive into regenerative living, tech-life balance, and why hugging trees might just save humanity (we’re only halfway kidding). Listen while you fold laundry, walk the dog, or ignore your inbox.
That’s a wrap! Huge thanks to our team, collaborators, and you—the folks who show up, swap ideas, and keep this community buzzing. Let’s keep weaving this wild, wonderful web together.
Stay curious. Stay connected. Stay slightly ridiculous.
