The Ocean Race is often described as the longest and toughest professional sporting event in the world, sailing's toughest team challenge and one of the sport's Big Three events, alongside the Olympic Games and America's Cup. To truly understand the race, though, it's better to think of it in a way the athletes who take part will recognise immediately. Put simply, The Ocean Race is an obsession, and many of the world's best sailors have dedicated years, even decades of their lives trying to win it. Since 1973, The Ocean Race has provided the ultimate test of a team and a human adventure like no other. For nearly 50 years, it has kept an almost mythical hold over some of the greatest sailors and been the proving ground for the legends of our sport.

Heiderose Scheerer – Talk to the EntitiesAired Monday, 2 September 2019, 3:00 PM EST / 12:00 PM PSTHave you always known there is more going on in this world than you can see? Have you been curious about how and when to speak to a loved one who has passed or wondered even if you could? Have you been curious about your spiritual team and how to work with them? Did you know there is so much more going on here than meets the eye?Venus Castleberg is joined by Heiderose Scheerer as they Talk to the Entities. On Outside the Impossible Monday, September 2, 2019 at 12 p.m. PST/3 p.m. EST right here on OmTimes Radio.About Heiderose ScheererI love my work very much, since I can just be me, enjoying being and doing what I be and do best, whether I am in my practice, on a course or on a boat in the middle of the sea.My patients and course participants greatly appreciate the space I create, that facilitates for them to perceive, know, be and receive all they be. They learn to tap into their own knowing and live with total presence, no longer needing to hide their differences and unique capacities from the world.All the methods I offer in my practice and in my courses and seminars have been experienced by myself and found to be very helpful and pragmatic. Since I am very curious and love to learn new things, in addition to the methods and modalities I have been using for decades, new and innovative things keep being added to the tools I use to work with.Besides being a mother of two amazing adult children I have been into holistic medicine for more than two decades, still working in my practice in Vaihingen an der Enz, in South Germany. I am also an Access Consciousness®Certified Facilitator, AccessConsciousness® Body ProcessFacilitator, Talk to the Entities®Certified Facilitator and Abuse HoldPractitioner. This means I am licensed to offer Access Consciousness®Bar classes, Access Foundation classes, Access Body Processes, as well as Talk to the Entities Intro and Beginner classes, as well as various Specialty Courses.Since I am a also PADI Divemaster and DSDL I offer diving, swimming and snorkelling with wild living dolphins as an additional therapeutic service and fun way to spend an unforgettable vacation.Regardless of the countless technique used, what deeply touched me and contributed to me most to make quantum leaps in my own process, was the absolute presence of my teachers, their unconditional allowance of whatever showed that moment, and the true and authentic way of dealing with it. These moments are sacred to me and I feel deeply grateful for them and for all my teachers who made this possible for me. So it is most important to me to be that space, clarity and total allowance for my clients and class participants so I can facilitate them to be brutally honest with themselves, discover and choose what is true for them and live their lives with no apology.

Every time I encountered a new stitch or technique I would just watch videos and practice until I figured it out. My own grandmothers had long since stopped knitting by the time I had an interest, but I’m hoping to teach my daughter in a few more years. What was your first project? A cotton dishcloth. I knit 3 of them on some terrible plastic needles from Michael’s, but despite some dropped stitches and random yarn overs, they are still workhorses stashed away with my cleaning supplies! What is your biggest knitting disaster? Hmm. Nothing comes to mind really. I tend to stop long before something ends disastrously (in knitting..not necessarily in life!). I knit a Gaptastic Cowl as one of my earliest projects, before I knew what gauge was, and it was monstrously huge. I’m talking, could-have-clothed-a-linebacker big. Needless to say, it got frogged! What are you most proud of as a knitter? I’m proud to create beautiful, useful, long lasting items that can be tangible examples for my loved ones of how much I care about them (because it’s a big time & energy investment!). And, when I knit for myself, I’m proud to engage in an activity that is a powerful act of self care both in the actual making of the thing, and then in the wearing of it. It really feels like I’m nurturing myself when I cast on something lovely with only myself in mind. We should really call it self-love knitting, rather than selfish knitting! What are you favorite items to knit? Stuffed toys for the important tiny humans in my life, and shawls for myself Are you a process knitter or a product knitter? I’m both! I used to be more of a product knitter but the more time goes on the more I’ve found that the act of knitting has become incredibly important to my well being. I’m a stay-at-home parent now, and it is hands down the most difficult job I’ve ever had (and I used to literally save babies for a living as an NICU nurse). Knitting allows me to satisfy so many of own needs: for mental stimulation, quiet alone time, and creative expression, all of which are hard to come by at this stage of my life. So, process has become extremely important to me as well. That said, I can’t fully engage in a project unless the finished object is something I’m excited to gift or wear. What it will be definitely still matters. Do you have any knitting goals? Projects? Techniques? I’d love to learn brioche, dive into sweater making, and eventually learn enough of the math involved to begin tech editing. Math doesn’t come easily to me, but I love editing. I can learn, right? Do you do any other fiber arts other than knitting? Not yet, but I have grand plans to learn embroidery, weaving, sewing, and rug punching. I want to learn it all! Especially sewing, I am most excited about eventually being able to make my own clothes and stop relying on fast fashion, which isn’t in line with my values and not the example for resource stewardship that I want to set for my daughter. But because she is so little, and free time is so scarse, new hobbies have to wait a while. Do you have any other super powers other than knitting? Momming. Thats a super power right?? I never really felt that i had a “true calling” until my child was born. Mothering, while certainly not all unicorns and rainbows, is really a natural aptitude for me. I’m good at it, and I love it (most days). I used to be a pretty good writer too, back in the day, and I can pick up new languages easily. I’m also a PADI Divemaster, which means I can teach some scuba diving courses and guide other divers around sites. I’m an excellent shark spotter! If there is one to be found or spotted in the distance, I promise i’ll see it. Anything else you’d like to tell the world? (shameless self promotion!) I’m incredibly passionate about feminism (intersectional or bust), and birth and the myriad of ways the two intersect. And I’ll happily chat about either with anyone, anytime!
