Learning is about making connections. A shout-out to my book ‘Getting Messy.’

ByKim Hermanson
Getting Messy (1)

Giving a quick shout-out to my book GETTING MESSY: A Guide to Taking Risks & Opening the Imagination for Teachers, Trainers, Coaches & Mentors.

True human learning goes beyond techniques, strategies, or rigid agendas. It thrives on connection—with others, with oneself, and with something greater. As human beings, our deepest need is to connect, and it’s this ability that shapes every aspect of our lives. Real learning isn’t just about taking in information; it’s about opening up, engaging fully, and allowing fresh perspectives to transform us.

Today, ask yourself: how are you connecting?

Embrace those moments of authentic connection, because it’s in those moments that true growth and meaningful understanding take root. ✨

Discover Getting Messy on Amazon and explore how connection can unlock transformative learning! 🙂

Opening new worlds through creativity: Embracing the unknown

ByKim Hermanson

Creativity isn’t about sticking to a plan; it’s about allowing yourself to be pulled by something—an idea, a vision, a curiosity. When you follow that pull, it leads you into a space you didn’t know existed. This is how we open new worlds. Creating something new requires openness, flexibility, and a willingness to embrace the…

The transformative beauty of metaphor: A journey into inner wisdom

ByKim Hermanson

My journey into the world of metaphor was entirely unplanned. It wasn’t a choice I made, but rather a path that unfolded for me through a series of profound, mystical, and even harrowing experiences. I became an advocate for a realm of non-ordinary beauty that urgently wants to be known—a realm accessible through the power…

Reclaiming a sensual way of knowing

ByKim Hermanson

I’ve been working with an increasing number of people who are reclaiming their rightful connection to the divine feminine. This includes a deeply sensual way of knowing which was long ago banished as evil by the patriarchy and Christian church. Culturally we are disconnected from our very wise, intuitive sensual power, so it’s not surprising…
