Anyone else curious what age BSky's partner thinks you are? lol

I am excited to be part of a podcast episode coming up with the magical @jutrwolff.bsky.social. Launches tomorrow. #climatecomedy #improv #appliedimprov #compassion

Just had a delightful conversation with Jude Treder-Wolff for her podcast Improv in Real Life. Can't wait for it to come out!

Time to meet a cool human rights consultant at Bikini Berlin for brunch. What alliteration do you all have going on today?

Third post today. Wanted: beautiful souls 2 join my upcoming climate (and social issue) comedy courses. In Melbourne, Australia? Pick Fridays starting 12 September. Fancy online so u can connect w amazing people around the world? Pick Mondays starting 15 September. www.sustainablestandup.com#courses

Second post today, because I am on a roll. If u are feeling overwhelmed, are glued to ur phone & the socials, and are feeling depleted & hopeless...get this book. It is beautifully written. I am right in the middle of reading it. Thinking of making it suggested reading for my climate comedy course.

Ok, I have been remiss in my BSky postings. If you are interested in climate comedy, here is the first of three postings today. Celebrating with Izzy, ecology lecturer at UCL, how bringing my Sustainable Stand Up course in for UCL students won a Sustainable teaching award. youtu.be/qdvWqr5MNzA

A sneak peak of the design for my interactive workshop just after the discussion & q&a with the fab Thomas Coombes. To book, go here www.dokumentale.de/de/programm/...

I wrote an invitation to my liberal friends who are so angry that they are blasting MAGA defectors. It is an invitation for alignment, rooted in compassion. open.substack.com/pub/belinara...

Lovely. No notes.

In-person, in #Berlin next Friday, 13 June? Thomas Coombes (the hope guy) & I are exploring The Power of Positivity: #Humor & #Hope in Communication. After, I am giving a one hour, hands on workshop, sharing some of the magic of finding the funny. Link is here: www.dokumentale.de/de/programm/...

Got my second (seasonal) office going this morning. Going through the lovely, powerful stuff I have been learning in the Human Systems Dynamics Professional certification course. Extraordinary body of work and so aligned with what I have been doing. Happy morning everyone xx

Interesting piece just out by Al Jazeera English on that town that the orange cheeto dropped the 'Mother of All Bombs' on in Afghanistan in 2017. Oh, what could we experience if power was with the peacemakers instead of with the traumatised bullies? www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZsb...

Our sold out Sustainable Stand Up course show at UCL (University College London). Been running this compassionate climate comedy course for 10 years. Delightful to work with these undergrad and grad students. Pic of me by Fang, one of the students.

Just came back from exploring Cambridge with my fella. It was here that he cracked the science of how to shift slash-and-burn farmers in the humid tropics to regenerative, organic agroforestry. The Inga Foundation work is so extraordinary & healing for the planet.

I am sitting w a question inspired by Glenda Eoyang in our Human Systems Dynamics course here in Singapore. What happens in the sustainability space if we stop trying to force things into the stable space, but instead get good at making wise actions and adapting in the unstable & emergent space?

Berlin to London. London to Bristol Parkway. Bristol Parkway to the bird reserve Slimbridge. Let’s do this! :)

Felt drawn to make this aide-memoire for chapter one’s Training in the preliminaries’ :) Who else has worked with these slogans?

Why didn’t we elect @warren.senate.gov for president again? She is awesome and fighting the good fight.

When you spend most of your dream trying to bring water to a desperate out- of-water fish, and you finally find a container filled with water to put it in, it’s time to drink more water in real life.

Cold enough to have skaters on the lake today. The upside of all this uncertainty is my meditation practice and nature communing have gone up. What are you doing to keep yourself grounded and centred? Expansive even?

When you find out that the compassionate climate comedy course you created and have been running for 10 years is eerily resonant with two seminal (10th and 12th century) Buddhist texts. Who here is ready to ‘resolve to begin’? :)

Today's self-care involved padding around the corner to my favourite local cafe, and having a matcha latte, a piece of divine espresso cake, and reading the book on compassion that arrived today in the post. Looking for gems to put in my course starting 15 April. :)

Complexity & uncertainty are high. Applications for my Get Unstuck: Complexity, compassion, and comedy course starting 15 April are on. This online course is timed for Europe morning, Asia afternoon, & Australia early evening. Applications close 26 Feb.Details here www.sustainablestandup.com#courses

If there was ever a time to learn how to put more 'light into the field', this is it. If you work on climate/social issues, I can help you to think more expansively about your issue, to find genuine and energising light to keep you going, & to better engage others. www.linkedin.com/posts/belina...

Tilda Swinton at the Berlinale. Beautiful, powerful speech. 13m4s long. When she spoke out about things that I quietly care about and find painful, her speech brought tears to my eyes. Tears of relief that someone else sees and knows and feels what I do. youtu.be/Fqol-1nTp_U?...

If you're feeling constricted, filled with despair, and stressed - gentle reminder: that we are made of this. Globular Cluster NGC 6355 Image Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, E. Noyola, R. Cohen science.nasa.gov/image-detail...

Have I mentioned how much I adore Anna and Vivien and their work to support documentary films? Fab event today at Rotes Rathaus in Berlin. Got to ask the filmmakers about their practice with genuine lightness. My q got an applause. Happy.

Snowy Berlin, on my way to morning yoga this morning. And before my smooshy/pully session w/ the osteopath. It is amazing what increased organ and diaphragm mobility does for the referred back pain. I am wondering about that metaphor in organisations, referred pain from elsewhere. And how to help.

Sending my love and gratitude to @warren.senate.gov . You always fight the good fight. Thank you with my whole heart.

Today’s walk. The lake is part frozen. And when I saw it I thought, since the pandemic, so are we. At least I am. How are you gently thawing yourself these days? Especially when so much wants us to stay frozen? 🌸

Anyone here in Singapore? I am heading there in March:)

Any of my built environment friends heading to this Berlin film festival on architecture? www.linkedin.com/posts/anna-r...

Goodness! Not sure how I got to 1730 followers so quickly. Thank each of you. What healing, illuminating, funny work shall we get up to? What are you doing now?

Hello BSky peeps. If you are feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated and fatigued, you might find my upcoming compassionate climate comedy course useful. And healing. Starts 8 September, 7pm Berlin time, 1pm Baltimore time. Only 7 places. Book now www.sustainablestandup.com#courses

So, if you have a salary or things are going well financially for you, one beautiful thing you can do to help people is to book yourself onto a course that is healing and transformational, especially those run by self employed people. Because most of us have had a huge drop in the last 6 months.

Remember a time when you were stuck, fixated on a complex problem and suddenly your perception of the problem shifted, and your possible responses either clarified or expanded. That is at the heart of my complexity, compassion and comedy course starting 15 April. www.sustainablestandup.com#courses

Today's Haiku: Smooches, waggle, paw. A dog is so beautiful. Future home - two dogs.

Like the dog Dug in the film Up,... squirrel! (Little red one, so enchanting).

I've been running a session based in inquiry and resonant learning w the theme, "Given everything that is happening, what is really mine to do on Earth now?". Just added a session due to demand, on the 18th Feb in the morning in Europe, afternoon in Asia. Who's in? www.maffick.com#clarity-and-...

What's the most beautiful thing (or one of the) that you've seen on bsky?

Had a meeting about being part of a lovely summer camp for Disaster Risk Reduction and the guy said when he looked me up, he found me on the Climate Centre website. Cool! Didn't realise I was there. :) climatecentre.live/team/belina-...

Anyone else want to participating in tomorrow's 'Clarity and Flow' session? It is an extraordinary process of tapping in to a more expansive way of knowing around a situation in which you feel stuck. Details are here www.maffick.com#clarity-and-...

Three #climatecomedy courses w/me: -15 April to 6 May. Getting unstuck: complexity, compassion & comedy. -(Partially #Melbourne based) 29 Aug to 10 Oct. Show at our fav The Butterfly Club. -(Live, online, awesome) 8 Sept to 20 Oct. Show is online. Book now. www.sustainablestandup.com#courses

I love this group so much. Their playfulness and clarity is inspiring. There website is AMAZING. ourparks.org. I think I am going to get a t-shirt while I think about pitching doing a comedy course for free for their staff. Anyone here know someone there?

Good morning everyone! Almost time for my shift at the Berlin SuperCoop, where I get to play 'grocery store' and specifically 'cash register' for 3-hours a month and giggle with my fellow humans while I ask them what kind of apple that is.

Something unexpectedly beautiful and funny on X. Friend and comedy course alumni just sent me this beautiful riff between an Iranian comedian and an Indian audience member who both had their dads pass. x.com/itsme_urstru...

Made me laugh...

What's everyone cooking this weekend? I had this on couscous. It was nice :)
