The reasons behind the Namkha Encyclopedia project are deeply personal.
🔹 Everything I do here, I do because I have endured significant abuse and injustice in the past, which led to major physical and mental health issues. These include lung disorders, tuberculosis, a suicide attempt, long-term depression, seasonal affective disorder, nervous exhaustion, and physical disability — just to name the most significant.
Namkhas have been the foundation for many positive changes in my life. They are at the core of my liberation and healing. This is why this project exists, and why I continue on this path, even though it is often very challenging.
Being a Namkha weaver is not easy. Obstacles present themselves in many forms, and I have witnessed people who struggle intensely when trying to construct Namkhas just for themselves. I, on the other hand, am working with the energies of others, which is even more challenging.
🔶 What I want to say is this: I am still healing. I am still on my path, and I continue this journey.
Recently, I made a major change by stepping away from my career as an artist. I was repeating old trauma over and over in my attempts to pursue a career in art.
Now, I am starting my writing career instead.
Writing has always been one of the biggest parts of who I am.
I have begun writing about myself — about the true me. About my rage and grief, injustice and pain, and everything that comes with healing.
I want you to understand who I am. I want you to be fully aware of the person I am, what I stand for, and what my path is.
🔹 My greatest fear has always been not being accepted for who I am. So, here I am — unfiltered and uncensored, sharing the issues I’m eager to discuss, exposing the truth, and living authentically according to my nature in this world.
