    “I think it is important for us to look at whether our mothers, grandmothers, our ancestors experienced - in how they inspired us and guided into the life we have chosen to live today.”

(“Und da ist es auch wichtig, dass wir nach unseren weiblichen Vorfahren suchen und sie neu entdecken unsere Mütter und Großmütter, die Vorbilder waren in ihrer Art zu leben und auch wie sie ihre eigene Spiritualität entwickelt haben.”)
