I would say that my life looks quite differently from most people’s in that I continuously engaged minimally with most external systems, societal and family expectations, regulations which appeared unjust, not sensful, or outright surreal from the perspective of being human and living in a society of mutual support. From a very young age onward I deeply sensed not just that there is something very distorted and sad about how we live together, but also that we all can do so much better, be so much more, and build something truly beautiful. That turned out to be true.
With the sunbeings.org website which genuinely unfolded from my desire to source what I need such as clothing and food more in alignment with nature, and to share with others what that means, I would like to redefine the ways in which we look at ethics in our societies and show the many ways in which our communities and underlying structures are transforming. In collaboration with Kate I would like to inspire, harness new frequencies as they unfold into form at a very practical level, offer support and direction in these tumultuous times.
In my personal life I strongly follow inner callings which I now recognise as nature’s intelligence operating through me – something we are all a part of. There is a clear sense of where I need to be when and how I need to engage with local community, worldwide transformation and the digital world including the sunbeings.org website. I travel a lot, often leaping from one project to another, that I am part of for a while before moving on. In this way I support what I would like to see more of on this planet and bring my frequencies to many places and peoples.
I live predominantly through non-monetary exchanges. This path, although always clear, has continuously deepened throughout my life. I perceive dependency on the financial system for prosperity and happiness as limiting, often failing – causing much harm – and in these times of instability simply dangerous. It is a biased system of gambling, built on non-human roots which do not support the ways in which we naturally thrive. Time for change, and this is what I enjoy being part of.
In the past I pursued often unconventional ways of learning about and researching biology, philosophy, the intersection of environmental policy, politics, human societies and ethics. I have experience with care-giving, holistic healing, counselling and spirituality, have worked at animal sanctuaries, with natural building and organic farming projects, at a remote hostel and have hosted diverse events in online communities. I have lived on small sailboats and did up to two-week open ocean passages with all that involves – a different world of self-sufficiency and self-reliance.

Website design, artist, IT research
Hello! I am the designer behind Sun Beings as well as contributing ideas creatively or practically on how it can be improved and expanded upon. I guess I ended up being chosen to do this website as Carina was drawn to my creative energy expressed through my art and knew I also offered website design. With my eye for art and my technical ability I combine the two in my graphic and web design projects.
While I was always interested in art and design and studied it throughout my life via the education route I still felt my creativity was very blocked up and would feel deeply lost and stagnant with it. It was only when I started embarking on a deep inner journey letting go of a lot that didn’t feel in alignment with who I am and strengthened my connection with nature and the universe did my creativity start to come forward. Now it is hard to keep up with all the ideas that come through me!
Creativity to me is an incredibly powerful tool. It is a generator of frequencies. It sparks our imagination and seeds new possibilities that we can choose to grow. Unfortunately the creative energy is being deeply abused and used to infiltrate peoples mental, emotional and spiritual bodies whether it’s through writing, music, art, film, media and so on. One doesn’t have to look very far at all to spot where there may be negative influences disrupting our fields and influencing our inners states and behaviours. Used in the wrong way it can keep us identified with lack and disempowerment and further entrenched in harmful identities. It can keep us stuck in a reality blocking our ability to be able to envision new better ones.
So with this in mind I tend to use my creativity as a tool to inspire dreaming. Dreaming of possible worlds or internal states we are capable of embodying. Since I was young the world felt like a very confusing place to be and didn’t understand why on Earth humanity lived they way they do as there was so much suffering I could see. It felt clear to me something majorly vital was missing… our deep innate connection with nature, the universe, others and ourselves. Remembering our profound place in this existence. I am naturally drawn to using my art and design to inspire something better within ourselves… to wake up what is there lying dormant.
My creativity goes into a few different areas. This includes: painting, illustration, writing, photography, graphic design and web design. I find my creativity seeps into other areas too like dancing or playing an instrument or whatever the pure moment brings!
I hope the sunbeings.org website inspires you to make wiser choices that are in alignment with humanity and the Earth. For you to be able to see the potential on this planet and that indeed there is a lot of positive happening through what others are offering and projects that are taking place. I feel the current times are deeply calling us to strip away everything that is out of integrity to our beings and to create something new that is truly built on the foundations of love.
You …
Needless to say we are not experts in all the fields this website shares about. We react to and learn from what comes into our fields. If you have suggestions for change, additions, or the direction you would like to see this website project to take, please send an email. We are particularly looking for contributions from Slavic countries and China esp. when an english/partly english website is available. It is not easy for us to find businesses, initiatives or artists in these geographic areas but we would like to include the treasures we know are there. The new frequencies are taking form everywhere. No people and no place is excluded. We would also love to hear from young people. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to this website. It is much appreciated. To send feedback, links or anything else please email: carina.whale@mailfence.com.
