Visible Feels

The Brand

Visible Feels is a community dedicated to promoting personal growth, mindfulness, and holistic development for sustainable well-being. The most important aspect is providing a safe and welcoming environment to foster growth through expansive introspective journeys. The organization was founded with the mission to empower individuals in their pursuit of self-discovery and personal development, with the goals of increasing self-awareness, building confidence, and enhancing the overall quality of life.

Visible Feels offers a range of transformative programs and services that help people unlock their true potential making positive changes in various aspects of life, such as enhancing communication skills, expanding knowledge, managing emotions, comprehending behaviors, nurturing healthy relationships, and more.

The ultimate goal is to cultivate a life where we authentically embrace our true selves and skilfully communicate the depths within us to the outside world. We aim to create a nurturing environment, where each person not only feels genuinely visible but is also deeply understood and valued.

 

The Birth Story

The journey of the "Visible Feels" initiative began when I finally listened to my yearning heart, which screamed to be seen, heard, and accepted. It set me on a path to discover my true self. This journey was a return home for a lost soul, one that knew it existed but was burdened by the weight of past experiences that had defined and shaped me.

During the process of healing, a profound realization dawned upon me – our physical existence is our true home, and we always belong, wherever we are! However, the core of our being, the essence within, often eludes us. We've lost that connection to our own soul, leading to confusion, suffering, and unnecessary fears. It's as if the internal and external don't sync. The harmony between our inner and outer selves is disrupted, and I found myself asking, 'How can we restore it?'

I realized that the only way to live in freedom and feel a sense of home is to let life run right through us. But we hardly ever succeed in that because we are too afraid to be who we really are and we trying to hold on to something we cannot ever keep. Life. We are in a constantly changing environment, surrounded by people and situations that stimulate growth, and circumstances that either make us or break us. In consequence, we start storing blocked energies in our inner chambers, close our hearts and start avoiding uncomfortable emotions or even teach ourselves to not feel anything at all. It doesn’t have to be like that! 

So here we are... You are not alone, not anymore! Visible Feels is here to stay, creating a unique and safe space where we can allow blocked feelings to finally surface. We are ready to meet them, dive fully in, acknowledge them, and ultimately let them go. We can do this because, at last, we feel safe, held, and seen.

 

The Goal

Life is a constant battle between the mind and heart, being conscious and unconscious, and getting lost and being found again. It’s a journey full of ups and downs, happiness and dark times, living the Now versus the version of reality we create in our minds. Being here, and experiencing life, is about constantly finding harmony between the two opposites in every aspect of the reality we create and feel.

It’s not about collective book knowledge, it’s about being aware of oneself. It’s not enough when one asks you to find self-love. What if we don’t know how to find self-love and how will we know that we have found it? Who will guide us there, and who will give us the confirmation when we’ve arrived there? 

It’s not about beautiful words and famous quotes, it’s about what is real. Pain is real, stress is real, anxiety, depression… all of that is real. It´s not enough constantly to be reminded of the importance of self-love and self-acceptance. We also need guidelines on how to get there.

We need support to discover the right tools to go through self-destructive thoughts and behaviors, find forgiveness and acceptance, and most of all, get inspired to feel free to live life fully in the most authentic way. Visible Feels is here to encourage and support you in getting you there!

Together we’re stronger!

 

The Mission

Have you ever wondered what it's like to truly make your feelings visible?

Since we cannot objectively see or directly show our emotions, we constantly misread and miscommunicate them. We are often afraid of feelings because we cannot perceive them with the naked eye. To dissolve those fears, we need to start looking at ourselves introspectively from a humble perspective.

Without fixating on what we are thinking, instead, we focus on what we feel. To embody what 'visible' feels like, we will decode our emotions and behaviors and learn to communicate skillfully to the outside world what we are and how we need to feel. 

This is the ultimate goal of Visible Feels – to rebuild the harmony between the internal and external, spirituality and reality, and to become the most skillful communicators of our hearts.

The Founder

It is very hard if not impossible to answer the question of “Who one is?”. EVERYTHING in this world is constantly changing and so is every individual in it. When we are talking about the NOW, it’s already past. Who I was is not who I am and who I am is not who I will be. The only way to know who we are is to accept who we were and allow changes to our being to happen organically as we grow. It’s about accepting past memories by letting go of what has occurred, allowing life to go through our hearts, while we keep transforming into the best versions of who we can be until we die. Therefore, we are the ones who see, hear, feel, and experience everything in and around us while constantly asking the question “Who am I?”.

The founder, Maiken Sarv. 

"I am an Estonian girl who chose the life I wanted, not the life I was born into. After studying for 8 years in 3 different countries (Estonia, Spain, and Italy) I landed a master’s degree in electrical engineering. BUT! I felt FAR away from being one. Already during my university years, I kept attending as many trainings as I possibly could to learn about the body & mind and gather knowledge about what it means to be a human. I have traveled across the world to learn about the countries and the cultures in it to discover myself through different perspectives stepping closer and closer to the freedom of being who I truly am.

Behind every face there is a story and so do I. Lifecycle is all about the experiences of making and breaking into the person I am and into the person I will be. My goal is to break out from the idea of “No pain, no gain!” to build awareness of “No amount of pain is ok!”. I’m all about seeing hope in hopelessness and finding strength while feeling like giving up because firstly myself I need that. Now I’m ready to share my knowledge and discoveries so that you can also see hope in hopelessness and find the freedom to be who you truly feel to be."

 

The End

There is no end. Visible Feels is here to stay because knowledge is greater than a life of a human being. In fact, I’m still constantly being asked by friends, family, and people I meet: “What if you will not succeed in this mission? What if in your dying bed, you realize you didn’t make it?”. And my answer to that has always been and will be: “What if it will get its acknowledgment after my time on this Earth?” 

So, there is no end, it’s only the beginning of something special, and only the God/ Life/ Universe, or however you like to call the life’s force around us, knows when and if there is an ending to something that potentially has no worldly limits.
