Make the Thetaland® Toolbox Your Steady Companion

to Think at the Edge Without Getting Lost

You have an idea, but it is vague and foggy - you may not have the words to say what you mean. Or you don't know exactly what you're working on or how to go about it...there's just a feeling, a hunch, that you can't express clearly. Or maybe there is a given task that you don't know how to approach.

Years ago, when I was in such a situation, I would dive into my inner space and ask myself: What would be the best way to proceed? The following came to me: I need to give myself some kind of impulse from the outside. At other times, when I was stuck, I wished that someone would hold my hand and give me encouragement and validation as I wrote, created a new course, or prepared a presentation.

We all wish there was some magic that would help us overcome creative block. Sometimes we are lucky enough to find it: A friend or colleague who listens patiently can help unlock our creativity. But in our daily lives, as we work on our jobs, develop new ideas, or find a new path in life, we are often left alone with our struggles and challenges. Even when people are around, they may not be able to listen without judging or silencing us with their ideas.

We, too, are often poor listeners when it comes to listening to ourselves: We reject our ideas before they are even born and dismiss our results as not perfect enough. Our words seem shallow, the next step impossible, and the solutions incomplete. What we need is to deepen our thinking and move beyond our usual ways of thinking without getting stuck in the uncertainty that comes with it.

Thetaland® is a unique tool that takes you out of negative self-talk and into the richness of your inner experience to create new meaning and to help the creative process flow.

This course will help you to use Thetaland® as a companion for you and the people you work with. It can also provide a space for finding companions to enjoy and enhance creative thinking together.

The Thetaland® Toolbox

A Treasure Box for Intuitive and Innovative Thinking

The Thetaland® Toolbox is at the heart of the course. The Toolbox can be your trusted companion whenever you are thinking creatively. With the Toolbox, you can always find a question or suggestion to overcome blockages and start a dialog with your felt knowing. You will experience the excitement and fun of exploring your inner world of experience while feeling safe and sound.

The methodology used in Thetaland® is based on "Thinking at the Edge (TAE)," a practice that emerged from Eugene T. Gendlin's Philosophy of the Implicit. Thetaland® invites you to turn your attention to unclear topics and situations. It provides valuable triggers to nudge you beyond your usual ways of thinking and to tread new paths of thought.

The Thetaland® Toolbox includes 12 dwellings in 6 colors, 144 question cards (12 per dwelling), 24 photo cards, 10 manual cards, 1 prologue card, and 1 epilogue card. Each color represents a different mode of being and thinking, while each dwelling represents a unique metaphor. The Thetaland® Toolbox enables you to explore your topic from a variety of different perspectives.

The most common feedback we get is, "The questions work.” See what else people share about Thetaland® and my courses.

Thetaland Works

by Maria Hakasalo, Finland

I just got the Thetaland yesterday, and this morning I played it first time by myself (30 min game time). Oh boy, it really worked! I had a complex situation with other people and I needed to react to it today. Going through the questions and writing about them gave me so deep understanding about the whole situation and some very surprising connections that I had had no clue about. After it I was able to “react” to the issue so beautifully and warmly, which would have not been the case without playing the game. The response what I received from the counterparts afterwards was so beautiful.

User-Friendly

by Ruth Hirsch, Israel

Every time I feel stuck, confused, or empty of ideas about how to move forward, all I need to do is open Thetaland and answers are readily apparent. What I discover is that the answers are already inside of me. Thetaland is so clear, so user-friendly, and so positive. It offers a terrain so very different from what is often a frozen, or critic-laden inner atmosphere.

Your-Storyland

by Brigitte Moretti, Italy

I felt lately, “I have TO DO something about my specific way of being a physical therapist with children.” What is it that I do with children (and working with parents, too) that makes a difference? Stepping into Thetaland with Evelyn and the group was like entering a playground that I realized was the playground I usually share with children. The crossing began spontaneously. Give your investigative, imaginative, trusting way of being a chance to travel in a sort of Yourstoryland.

Emerging Coherence

by Dr. Ariane Wahl, Germany

Thetaland supports groups and individuals to immerse themselves in a creative process and develop tailor-made concepts from their own experience. By oscillating between thinking and feeling, a coherence emerges that can be felt by all participants and stimulates their energy for implementation.

Hi, I am looking forward to going on this journey with you
